GBML Moves to Semi-Annual Reporting Under Blanket Order 51-933

Global Battery Metals confirmed it qualifies under Coordinated Blanket Order 51-933, which provides eligible venture issuers in British Columbia with relief from certain interim filing requirements under National Instrument 51-102 — Continuous Disclosure Obligations. The company confirms it is listed on the TSX Venture Exchange, maintains its principal regulator in British Columbia, is current with all continuous disclosure filings, and is not subject to any ongoing transactions, financing activities, or reverse takeovers that could affect its eligibility under the relief provisions.

What the Reporting Change Means for Shareholder Disclosures

Under the new framework, Global Battery Metals will no longer file quarterly interim financial statements, management's discussion and analysis, or related officer certifications for three-month reporting periods. The company states it will instead report on a twice-yearly basis. Importantly, the release emphasises that GBML remains subject to all timely disclosure obligations and continuous disclosure requirements under securities legislation, including the requirement to report material changes and significant corporate developments as they arise, irrespective of the new semi-annual schedule.

Administrative Cost Savings and Strategic Focus Cited as Drivers

The company stated the transition is expected to streamline financial reporting processes and reduce administrative costs associated with quarterly reporting. Management described the decision as consistent with the company's continued focus on long-term value creation and operational performance. Global Battery Metals currently holds a 100% interest in the Lithium King Property in Utah and a 55% stake in the Peru-based Lara Copper Property, which the release states has over 10,000 metres of drilling.
