Mountainview Energy Ltd. announces expected delay in annual filings

CUT BANK, MT, April 22, 2016 /CNW/ - Mountainview Energy Ltd. ("Mountainview" or the "Company") (TSX-V: MVW) announces that it expects to be delayed in filing its: (a) audited annual financial statements for its financial year ended December 31, 2015; (b) the related Management's Discussion and Analysis; (c) the related certifications by the Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer; and (d) the Company's statement of reserves data in Form 51-101F1 in accordance with National Instrument 51-101 – Standards of Disclosure for Oil and Gas Activities ("NI 51-101") (collectively the "Required Filings"). Under National Instrument 51-102 – Continuous Disclosure Obligations ("NI 51-102") and NI 51-101, the Required Filings are required to be filed not later than April 30, 2016. In the event that the Required Filings are not filed by such deadline, the Company expects that the Alberta Securities Commission (the "ASC"), which is Mountainview's principal regulator, will issue a cease trade order that all trading in securities of the Company cease for such period of time as the ASC may deem appropriate.

The Company has been unable to complete the required filings due to a lack of capital required to complete its audit and evaluation of reserves, respectively. As a result, the Company requires additional time and will work diligently to raise sufficient capital to complete and file the Required Filings. No assurances can be given that the Company will be able to secure sufficient financing to complete the Required Filings.
