ARBOR METALS ANNOUNCES ADOPTION OF SEMI-ANNUAL REPORTING

Arbor Metals Corp. has announced its adoption of semi-annual financial reporting, transitioning away from the standard quarterly reporting framework under Coordinated Blanket Order 51-933. This regulatory change is available to eligible venture issuers and represents a significant shift in the company's disclosure obligations.

The company qualifies for this exemption by meeting specific criteria, including maintaining annual revenues below $10 million and demonstrating a clean 12-month continuous disclosure record. Under the new framework, Arbor will no longer file quarterly interim financial statements and associated management discussion and analysis for three-month and nine-month periods. Instead, the company will maintain its obligations to file audited annual financial statements within 120 days of its October 31 fiscal year-end and six-month interim reports within 60 days of April 30.

This change reflects broader regulatory flexibility being offered to smaller venture issuers to reduce administrative burden while maintaining essential investor protections. The company has emphasized its continued commitment to timely disclosure of material changes and significant developments as required under National Instrument 51-102. For Arbor, which operates the Jarnet Lithium Project, this reporting change may allow management to focus more resources on exploration and development activities rather than quarterly compliance requirements.

The adoption of semi-annual reporting aligns with recent trends in venture exchange governance, where regulators are seeking to balance investor protection with operational efficiency for smaller public companies. This move may signal Arbor's confidence in its operational stability and its ability to maintain investor confidence with less frequent but comprehensive reporting cycles.
