El Tigre Silver Accepts Invitation to Trade on the Santiago Stock Exchange, Venture, in Chile
The Mexican Stock Exchange, BMV, announced its first trade made as part of MILA on December 2 2014. With the entry of Mexico into MILA, the integrated stock market now counts 738 issuers among the four countries, making it the biggest market by number of listed companies in Latin America, and the biggest in terms of market capitalization. The joint capitalization of the four bourses is close to US$1 trillion.
Wade Anderson, El Tigre's Chairman and CEO states: "El Tigre is focused on Mexico, a country that has one of the largest mineral and ore reserves in the world and is the global leader in silver production. Canada, where El Tigre is headquartered, and the MILA countries are among the world's richest countries in terms of metals and ore, and El Tigre will continue to tap into those geographic regions with proven mineral and ore reserves. We are very excited to have access to investors in Mexico and Latin America through our SSEV listing. We view our new SSEV listing as a gateway to the Latin American financial system through MILA, an integrated platform on which investors and brokers in Chile, Colombia, Mexico and Peru seamlessly trade shares listed on any of the four markets through their local stock exchange. We are pleased and honoured to accept the invitation to list on the SSEV and view this as a tremendous opportunity for our company and our shareholders."
The SSEV aims to promote the finance and listing of exploration stage mining companies that are compliant with TSXV and Canadian securities regulations, in order to introduce TSXV companies to the Chilean capital market. On May 5, 2015 the official media launch event for the exchange will be held in Santiago with attendees including John McCoach, President of the TSX Venture; Aurora Williams, the Chilean Minister of Mining; and financial analysts and investors from the Chilean mining community.
El Tigre's principal listing is on the TSXV under the symbol ELS. The company is also listed on the OTCQX in the US under the symbol EGRTF and on Frankfurt under the symbol 5RT. The new SSEV listing will expand El Tigre's visibility in South America by making it easier for local investors to purchase shares in the Company and to provide access to a potential new source of capital through Chile, Colombia, Mexico and Peru.
