Pancon Targets U.S. Investors, Now Trading on the OTCQB Venture Market Under Ticker Symbol PUCCF
Toronto, Ontario, September 21, 2020: Pancontinental Resources Corporation (TSX-V: PUC; OTCQB: PUCCF) (“Pancon” or the “Company”) received trading approval from OTC Markets in order to increase accessibility to U.S.-based retail and institutional investors. Pancon is now actively trading on the OTCQB Venture Market under ticker symbol PUCCF and the company profile can be viewed at https://www.otcmarkets.com/stock/PUCCF/overview.
Pancon President and CEO Layton Croft stated: “Pancon’s flagship Brewer-Jefferson Gold Projects are located in the heart of the gold-rich Carolina Slate Belt and a 75-minute drive to Charlotte, NC, the second largest financial center in the U.S. The Carolina Slate Belt, located across the southeastern U.S., is exceptionally endowed, underexplored, and an exciting gold exploration region in safe, pro-mining jurisdictions. While Pancon’s listing on the TSX Venture exchange remains our primary capital market, there is growing U.S. retail and institutional investor interest in Pancon. Trading on the OTCQB Venture Market increases our visibility and accessibility to U.S. investors who want exposure to Pancon’s Brewer Gold Project and the Carolina Slate Belt.”
The OTC Venture Market (OTCQB) offers developing Canadian companies the benefits of being publicly traded in the U.S. with lower cost and complexity than a U.S. exchange listing. Streamlined market standards enable Canadian companies to provide a strong baseline of transparency to inform and engage U.S. investors. To be eligible, Canadian companies must be current in their SEDAR reporting and undergo an annual verification and management certification process.
As a verified market with efficient access to U.S. investors, the OTCQB helps Canadian companies build shareholder value with a goal of enhancing liquidity and achieving fair valuation. As a result, more Canadian companies are traded on OTC Markets than on NYSE, NYSE MKT and NASDAQ combined. The key benefits of trading on the OTC Markets includes efficient market standards, transparency, and visibility. Companies may leverage their SEDAR disclosure (SEC Exchange Act Rule 12g3-2(b)). There are no Sarbanes-Oxley and SEC Reporting requirements to trade on OTCQB, bypassing burdensome, costly and duplicative NYSE and NASDAQ listing requirements.
OTCQB is recognized by the SEC as an established public market. OTCQB companies provide current company information and meet financial standards that enable brokers to more easily quote and trade a security. Companies engage a far greater network of U.S. investors, data distributors and media partners, ensuring U.S. investors have access to the same high-quality information that is available to investors in Canada, but through U.S. platforms and portals to conduct research.
About Pancon
Pancon is a Canadian junior mining company focused on exploring the prolific and underexplored Carolina Slate Belt in Chesterfield County, South Carolina, USA. In January 2020, Pancon won the exclusive right to explore the former Brewer Gold Mine. Between 1987-1995, Brewer produced 178,000 ounces of oxide gold from open pits that extended to 50-meter depths, where copper and gold-rich sulfides were exposed but could not be processed by the oxide heap leach processing facility. Brewer is a high sulphidation system driven by a sub-volcanic intrusive and possibly containing a large copper-gold porphyry system at depth, as indicated by: widely known prospective geology, including diatreme breccias; associated high sulphidation alteration; gold and copper mineralization; and geophysics (Schmidt, R.G., 1978, The Potential for Porphyry Copper-Molybdenum Deposits in the Eastern United States, U.S. Geological Survey). Pancon’s 100%-owned Jefferson Gold Project nearly surrounds the former Brewer Gold Mine, and both Jefferson and Brewer are located 12 km along trend northeast from the producing Haile Gold Mine, which produced 146,100 ounces of gold in 2019. In addition, Pancon has four nickel-copper-cobalt exploration projects in Northern Ontario, surrounding or near producing or former mines in proven and safe mining districts.
The Company cautions that the mineralization at the former Brewer Gold Mine is not necessarily indicative of the mineralization that may be identified on the Company’s ongoing and upcoming exploration work.
