Vancouver, BC / TheNewswire / April 25, 2018 / Global Energy Metals Corporation TSXV:GEMC | OTCQB:GBLEF | FSE:5GE1 (“Global Energy Metals”, the “Company” and/or "GEMC") is pleased to announce that further to its news release dated February 20, 2018, that it has secured DTC eligibility by The Depository Trust Company for its shares traded on the OTCQB "GBLEF" effective end of day April 24, 2018.
The DTC is a subsidiary of the Depository Trust & Clearing Corporation ("DTCC") and manages the electronic clearing and settlement of publicly traded companies. Securities that are eligible to be electronically cleared and settled through the DTC are considered "DTC eligible." This electronic method of clearing securities speeds up the receipt of stock and cash, and thus accelerates the settlement process for investors and brokers, enabling the stock to be traded over a much wider selection of brokerage firms by coming into compliance with their requirements.
Being DTC eligible is expected to greatly simplify the process of trading and exchange the Company’s common stock on the OTC marketplace in the United States.
“We are pleased to have obtained DTC eligibility," said Mitchell Smith, President & CEO. "DTC eligibility simplifies the process of trading and transferring Global Energy Metals’ shares between brokerages in the United States and reduces the costs incurred in trading shares. With our shares now DTC eligible, we expect this to lead to significantly enhancing liquidity and execution speeds, as well as extending investor awareness of our Company to an even broader range of investors throughout the United States."
Global Energy Metals is advancing the Millennium Cobalt Project in the Mt. Isa district of Queensland, Australia. Drilling is ongoing with holes completed showing an extension to the cobalt bearing mineralization beneath the existing JORC resource. Following receipt of all assay results the Company will assess the data to assist with planning subsequent phases of drilling, that will further define and upgrade known mineralisation in support of a new resource estimate that will be reported as a cobalt equivalent. Global Energy also owns the high-grade Werner Lake cobalt project in Ontario Canada and has entered into a joint venture with Marquee Resources of Australia to advance that historic project with an exploration program to commence in Spring 2018.
The OTCQB Venture is the premier marketplace for entrepreneurial and development stage U.S. and international companies that are committed to providing a high-quality trading and information experience for their US investors. To be eligible, companies must be current in their financial reporting, pass a minimum bid price test, and undergo an annual company verification and management certification process. The OTCQB Venture quality standards provide a strong baseline of transparency, as well as the technology and regulation to improve the information and trading experience for investors.
