Vancouver, B.C., November 18, 2019 – Chakana Copper Corp. (TSX-V: PERU; OTCQB: CHKKF; FWB: 1ZX) (the “Company” or “Chakana”) has filed its annual audited financial statements for the year ended May 31, 2019 and interim financial statements for the three months ended August 31, 2019, the accompanying management’s discussion and analysis, and the related CEO and CFO certifications (the “Filings”).

On October 1, 2019, the British Columbia Securities Commission, as principal regulator, granted a temporary management cease trade order (the “MCTO”) in accordance with National Policy 12-203. As previously announced, the Company required additional time to file the Filings in order for the Company to restate certain prior year balances due to the identification of late payments included in the opening balances from the prior fiscal year and additional time for the Company and its auditors to complete its review and substantive audit procedures of certain discrepancies in its expenditures. Upon the filing of the Filings, the Company believes that it has resolved all discrepancies and restatements and has satisfied the conditions of the British Columbia Securities Commission in order to have the MCTO lifted. For additional information, readers are referred to the Company’s management’s discussion and analysis for the year ended May 31, 2019 (www.sedar.com).

The Company announces that effective November 14, 2019, 4,000,000 common shares of the Company were returned to treasury and cancelled. Please refer to notes 20 and 28 of the Company’s annual audited financial statements for the year ended May 31, 2019 for further details.
