VANCOUVER, BC / ACCESSWIRE / May 17, 2022 / SouthGobi Resources Ltd. (TSX:SGQ, HK:1878) ("SouthGobi" or the "Company") announces that reference is made to the announcements of the Company dated March 11, March 24, March 28, March 30, March 31, April 14, and April 29, 2022 in relation to, among others, the delay in publication of the 2021 Audited Annual Results and delay in 2021 Annual Filings (the "Announcements"). Unless otherwise defined herein, capitalized terms used in this announcement shall have the same respective meanings as defined in the Announcements.

BI-WEEKLY DEFAULT STATUS REPORT

The Company provides this bi-weekly default status report in relation to the management cease trade order dated April 1, 2022 ("MCTO") granted by the British Columbia Securities Commission ("BCSC") pursuant to National Policy 12-203 - Cease Trade Orders for Continuous Disclosure Defaults ("NP 12-203"). With the granting of the MCTO, the Company has until May 30, 2022, being the expiry date of the MCTO, to file the 2021 Annual Filings. The Company is required to file bi-weekly default status reports in accordance with NP 12-203 until such time that as the default in filing the 2021 Annual Filings is remedied. Pursuant to the MCTO, the Chief Executive Officer and the Chief Financial Officer of the Company are not permitted to trade any securities of the Company unless and until such time as the Company files the 2021 Annual Filings. While the MCTO is in effect, the shareholders of the Company will continue to be able to trade the Company's common shares on the TSX and the HKEx.

Delay in Publication of 2022 Q1 Financial Results

The filing deadline for the Company's 2022 Q1 financial results for the quarter ended March 31, 2022 ("2022 Q1 Financial Results") is May 15, 2022 as required under applicable Canadian securities laws. However, the Company cannot issue its 2022 Q1 Financial Results until it first issues its 2021 Annual Filings. Accordingly, the Company was unable to issue its 2022 Q1 Financial Results prior to the filing deadline of May 15, 2022. Pursuant to the terms of the MCTO, the Company is required to file its 2022 Q1 Financial Results within five business days following the filing of the 2021 Annual Filings.

Unless and until such time as the Company files the 2021 Annual Filings, shareholders and potential investors of the Company are urged to exercise extreme caution when dealing in the securities of the Company. If the Company is unable to file the 2021 Annual Filings prior to the expiry of the MCTO, it is anticipated that the BCSC will issue a general "failure to file" cease trade order ("CTO") prohibiting the trading by any person of any securities of the Company, including trades in the Company's common shares made through the TSX, which would take effect shortly after the expiry of the MCTO and would remain in place until such time as the 2021 Annual Filings have been filed. In the event a CTO is issued, the Company anticipates that the trading in the Company's common shares will be halted on the TSX, and the trading in the common shares of the Company on the HKEx will also be suspended until such time as the CTO is lifted and trading resumes on the TSX.

Other than as disclosed herein, the Company confirms that since April 29, 2022: (i) there have been no material changes to the information set out in the announcement dated April 29, 2022 that has not been generally disclosed; (ii) there have been no failures by the Company in fulfilling its stated intentions with respect to satisfying the provisions of the alternative information guidelines under NP 12-203; (iii) there has been no other, or anticipated, specified default under NP 12-203 concerning the Company; and (iv) there is no other material information concerning the affairs of the Company that has not been generally disclosed.

Shareholders of the Company and potential investors are advised to exercise caution when dealing in the securities of the Company.

If there is any inconsistency or discrepancy between the English version and the Chinese version, the English version shall prevail.
