TORONTO, Sept. 02, 2020 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Anconia Resources Corp. (TSXV: OMG) (“Anconia” or the “Company”) announces it will host its annual general and special meeting (the “Meeting”) in a virtual and in-person hybrid format in response to the ongoing global COVID-19 pandemic. The Meeting will now take place on Wednesday September 30, 2020 at 10:00 am Toronto Time and will be hosted in a virtual setting via webcast and teleconference as well as at the head office of the Company at 82 Richmond Street East, Toronto, Ontario M5C 1P1.

Shareholders as of the close of business on August 10, 2020, the record date, may participate in and vote at the Meeting.

The Company is strongly discouraging physical attendance at the meeting to proactively deal with potential issues arising from the unprecedented public health impact of COVID-19 and to limit and mitigate risks to the health and safety of its communities, shareholders, employees, directors and other stakeholders. The Meeting will not be open to the general public and will be restricted to registered shareholders (who are also strongly discouraged from attending) and duly appointed proxyholders only. 

The Board of Directors has made the decision to delay the meeting as previously communicated in the Notice of Meeting dated July 16, 2020 sent to shareholders and filed on the Company’s profile on SEDAR at www.sedar.com. The decision was made after encountering delays in the obtaining of conditional approval of the RTO.

Comprehensive information with respect to how registered and beneficial shareholders may vote in advance of the meeting can be found in Anconia’s Management Information Circular, which is available on SEDAR and is being mailed to shareholders.
