Vancouver, British Columbia -- Artha Resources Corporation (TSX.V: AHC) has been notified of a cease trading order issued by the British Columbia Securities Commission due to the Company's failure to file audited annual financial statements and the associated management's discussion and analysis for the year ended December 31, 2012, and the related certifications. As a result of the cease trade order, the Toronto Venture Exchange (the "TSXV") has suspended trading in the Company's common shares.
TSX.V has further advised the Company that a failure to have trading in the Company's securities resume within 90 days from the date of the Cease Trade Order, and to otherwise satisfactorily comply with TSX.V listing requirements, will result in the transfer of Artha Resources securities after August 6, 2013 to NEX, a trading forum for listed companies that have fallen below TSX.V's ongoing listing standards.
The Company reports that the annual audit is well underway and should be completed prior to the end of May. The Company regrets any inconvenience to shareholders this delay has caused.
On Behalf of the Board of Directors,
"Todd McMurray"
President
