VANCOUVER, BC, Nov. 14,
2022 /PRNewswire/ - Trevali Mining Corporation
("Trevali" or the "Company") announced today that, further to the
October 6, 2022 press release of the
Company, the Judicial Tribunal of Commerce in Burkina Faso has granted an order providing
for the liquidation of the Company's 90%-owned subsidiary Nantou
Mining Burkina Faso S.A. ("Nantou Mining"). A liquidator has been

Trevali also announced that it did not, and will not, file its
interim financial statements for the three and nine months ended
September 30, 2022, the related
management's discussion and analysis, and the related CEO and CFO
certifications by the filing deadline of November 14, 2022 and is therefore in default of

The Company had previously advised the British Columbia
Securities Commission, as well as FTI Consulting Inc., the
court-appointed monitor in Trevali's proceedings under the

going forward. Trevali and the Monitor intend to keep stakeholders
and the public updated about Trevali's financial status through
filings and other reports filed as part of the CCAA
proceedings.
