Cygnus Executive Chair David Southam said   : ‘Given the strong outlook for copper, it is an ideal time to trade on the OTCQB. This will help to make the Company accessible to a growing range of U.S. investors and further increase liquidity and visibility in North America.  We have the potential to unlock substantial value with the high-grade resource already defined and the immense upside at the Chibougamau Copper-Gold Project. We have started an aggressive drilling and geophysics program focussed on achieving strong resource growth and testing new targets at a time when the world desperately wants more copper from tier-one locations’.

Trading of Cygnus shares on the OTC imposes no additional compliance or regulatory standards over and above the Company’s existing compliance requirements as an Australian incorporated entity listed on the Australian Securities Exchange and TSX Venture Exchange. OTC trading is non-dilutive to existing Cygnus shareholders, as no new shares are being issued to enable trading on the OTC.
