“The strong level of interest generated following our recent strategic corporate transaction has highlighted the importance of broadening access to the Company’s shares for North American investors. With our portfolio of gold and critical metals projects located in Ontario, Canada, an OTCID listing is a logical next step that will make it easier for North American investors to invest in First Class Metals and increase our profile in a key market.
