(the "Company" or "MILE") (TSXV: MILE; OTC: AZNVF) announces that further to its news release dated April 28, 2020, the Company is expecting to file its audited financial statements and management discussion and analysis for the year ended December 31, 2019 (the "Annual Filings") by the extension date of June 16, 2020 pursuant to exemptive relief granted by Canadian securities regulatory authorities that allows it to delay the filing of its annual documents required by sections 4.2 and 5.12(2) of National Instrument 51-102 ("NI 51-102").

The Company is continuing to work diligently to file the Interim Filings by July 14, 2020.
The Company's management and other insiders will be subject to a trading black-out that reflects the principles in Section 9 of National Policy 11-207 until its Annual and Interim Filings are filed, which will be by June 16, 2020 and July 14, 2020, respectively.
