  • Reporting frequency reduced from four to two filings per year
  • Management focus shifted to exploration at Haskin-Reed
  • Regulatory compliance under BC Order 51-933

  • Less frequent interim disclosure: no Q1 interim or nine-month MD&A in 2026

Vancouver, British Columbia--(Newsfile Corp. - May 4, 2026) - Pacific Bay Minerals Ltd. (TSXV: PBM) ("Pacific Bay" or the "Company") reports that the Company is adopting semi-annual financial reporting in place of quarterly reporting, effective for the three-month interim period ending (Q1 2026 period end date).

The British Columbia Securities Commission recently issued Coordinated Blanket Order 51-933, which allows eligible venture issuers listed on the TSX Venture Exchange or Canadian Securities Exchange to file financial reports twice a year rather than four times. Pacific Bay meets the conditions of the Order and will begin relying on it starting with its Q1 2026 interim period.

As a result, the Company will not be filing an interim financial report or related MD&A for the three-month period ending March 31, 2026, nor for its nine-month period ending September 30, 2026. Pacific Bay will continue to file audited annual financial statements and semi-annual interim reports as required.

"This move enables Pacific Bay to maintain full transparency with investors while focusing more overhead expense and management time on mineral exploration," said David H. Brett, President and CEO of Pacific Bay. "The Company is looking forward to reactivating exploration at its Haskin-Reed critical minerals project in northern BC and this step will help us in that effort."
