June 1, 2020 - TheNewswire - VANCOUVER, BC - BQE Water Inc. (TSXV:BQE), a leader in the management of mine wastewaters and metallurgical bleed streams, is postponing the filing of its interim consolidated financial statements and accompanying Management's Discussion and Analysis for the 3-month period ending March 31, 2020 ("Q1 2020 Filings") due to delays caused by the COVID-19 pandemic.

BQE Water will rely on the Canadian Securities Administrators' blanket relief which provides a 45-day extension for periodic filings normally required to be made on or before June 1, 2020 as permitted by BCSC's Instrument 51-515 blanket relief. Company management and other insiders are subject to a trading blackout until the end of the second trading day after the Q1 2020 Filings have been filed. At this time, BQE Water anticipates the Q1 2020 Filings will be completed within the 45-day extension period.
