Mountain China Resorts Announces Delay in Filing Annual Financial Statements

BEIJING, CHINA--(Marketwired - May 2, 2013) - Mountain China Resorts (Holding) Limited (TSX VENTURE:MCG) ("MCR" or the "Company"), announced today that the filing of its annual financial statements, management's discussion and analysis, and the related officer certifications for the financial year ended December 31, 2012 (collectively, the "Annual Filings") has been delayed beyond the filing deadline of April 30, 2013. The Company's auditors have advised that they will not be able to complete their audit by the filing deadline as the auditors are still determining the status of Company's default of the bank loan with China Construction Bank.

The Company intends to co-operate with the auditors to resolve any outstanding issues and hopes to file the Annual Filings as soon as possible.

The Company intends to follow the provisions of the Alternative Information Guidelines as set out in National Policy 12-203-Cease Trade Orders for Continuous Disclosure Defaults, for as long as MCR remains in default, including the issuance of further by-weekly default status reports, each of which will be issued in the form of a press release.
