“We are delighted to launch on the OTCQB and provide existing and future U.S. shareholders with an upgraded trading platform,” said John Wilton, President and CEO of BeMetals. “Given we are advancing the high-grade South Mountain Zinc-Silver Polymetallic Project in Idaho and our other quality projects, we believe that trading on the OTCQB will provide additional liquidity and help us expand BeMetals’ investor presence in the United States.”
The OTCQB® Venture Market, operated by OTC Markets Group Inc., requires companies to remain current and compliant in their reporting, and undergo an annual verification and management certification process. These standards provide improved investor confidence through verified information, as well as greater information availability and transparent prices for investors with Real Time Level 2 quotes. United States investors can find current financial disclosure and Real-Time Level 2 quotes for the Company on www.otcmarkets.com.
