Macarthur intends to trade on the OTCQB again

VANCOUVER, British Columbia, May 11, 2020 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Macarthur Minerals Limited (MMS.V) (ASX: MIO) (the “Company” or “Macarthur”) announces that the Company intends to file an application with OTC Market Group within the next two weeks to begin trading on the OTCQB. The application to reinstate trading on the OTCQB is subject to review and approval by OTC Markets Group.

As part of the process, Macarthur’s Board of Directors has approved the appointment of Northland Capital Markets, a full-service investment bank headquartered in the U.S., to act as OTCQB Sponsor and Advisor to the Company.

By reinstating trading on the OTCQB, Macarthur can engage a far greater network of U.S. investors, data distributors and media partners, while ensuring U.S. investors have access to the same high-quality information that is available to investors in Australia and Canada, but through U.S. platforms and portals used to conduct investment research.

The Company will also continue to maintain its listings on the Australian Securities Exchange (“ASX”) and TSX Venture Exchange (“TSX-V”).

Cameron McCall, President and Executive Chairman of Macarthur Minerals commented:

“I am confident that Macarthur meets all of the reporting and management requirements to have its shares trading on the OTCQB market once again. Quotation on the OTCQB should boost confidence in our overall business strategy by allowing greater access of the Company’s stock to U.S. shareholders and it demonstrates our desire to build long-term shareholder value. We look forward to reaching a much larger audience of potential individual and institutional investors once the process is completed”.

On behalf of the Board of Directors, Mr Cameron McCall, Executive Chairman
