Calgary, Alberta--(Newsfile Corp. - May 19, 2020) - Wilton Resources Inc. (TSXV: WIL) (the "Corporation") announces that filing of the Corporation's interim financial statements for the three month period ended March 31, 2020 ("Q1 Financial Statements") and associated management's discussion and analysis ("Q1 MD&A", and collectively with the Q1 Financial Statements, the "Q1 Filings") will be postponed due to delays caused by the COVID-19 pandemic.

Although the Q1 Filings would ordinarily have been filed on or before May 30, 2020, pursuant to ASC Blanket Order 51-517 - Temporary Exemption from Certain Corporate Finance Requirements ("Blanket Order 51-517"), the Corporation has up to an additional 45 days from the deadline otherwise applicable under Alberta securities laws to file the Q1 Filings, provided that it complies with certain requirements set out in Blanket Order 51-517. Accordingly, The Corporation is relying on the relief contained in Blanket Order 51-517 for its Q1 Financial Statements required by section 4.4 of National Instrument 51-102 and its Q1 MD&A required by subsection 5.1(2) of National Instrument 51-102.

The Corporation estimates that the Q1 Filings will be filed no later than June 12, 2020.

During the extension period, until the Corporation has filed and announced the required Q1 Filings, management and other insiders of the Corporation will be subject to an insider trading black-out policy that reflects the principles in Section 9 of National Policy 11-207 - Failure-to-File Cease Trade Orders and Revocations in Multiple Jurisdictions.

Except as set out below, there have been no material business developments since the date of the Corporation's annual financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2019, which were filed on April 27, 2020.

Since December 31, 2019, the outbreak of the novel strain of coronavirus, specifically identified as "COVID-19", has resulted in governments worldwide enacting emergency measures to combat the spread of the virus. These measures, which include the implementation of travel bans, self-imposed quarantine periods and social distancing, have caused material disruption to business globally resulting in an economic slowdown. Global equity markets have experienced significant volatility and weakness. Governments and central banks have reacted with significant monetary and fiscal interventions designed to stabilize economic conditions. The duration and impact of the COVID-19 outbreak is unknown at this time, as is the efficacy of the government and central bank interventions. It is not possible to reliably estimate the length and severity of these developments and the impact on the financial results and condition of the Corporation in future periods. The extent to which the coronavirus impacts the Company's results will depend on future developments, which are highly uncertain and cannot be predicted, including new information which may emerge concerning the severity of the coronavirus and actions taken to contain the coronavirus or its impact, among others.

Executive Compensation Disclosure

The Corporation announces further that the Corporation's executive compensation disclosure requirement under National Instrument 51-102 will be postponed due to delays caused by the COVID-19 pandemic.

Although the Corporation would ordinarily have filed the executive compensation disclosure required under section 9.3.1(1) of National Instrument 51-102 (the "executive compensation disclosure") on or before May 19, 2020, pursuant to ASC Blanket Order 51-518 - Temporary Exemption from Certain Requirements to File and Send Securityholder Materials ("Blanket Order 51-518"), the Corporation has up to December 31, 2020 to (i) send to its securityholders, and file, its next AGM information circular containing the executive compensation disclosure, or (ii) file the executive compensation disclosure separately. Accordingly, The Corporation is relying on the relief contained in Blanket Order 51-518 for its executive compensation disclosure.
