LAKEWOOD, Colo., July 1, 2016 /CNW/ -- Pershing Gold Corp. (NASDAQ:PGLC) (FWB:7PG1) ("Pershing Gold" or the "Company"), an emerging gold producer,  today announces its inclusion as a member of the Russell Microcap® Index as part of the 2016 Russell indexes reconstitution.

Membership in the Russell Microcap® Index, which remains in place for one year, means automatic inclusion in the appropriate growth and value style indexes. FTSE Russell determines membership for its Russell indexes primarily by objective, market-capitalization rankings and style attributes.

"The increased exposure and liquidity that this index provides adds credibility as we build our shareholder base of high quality institutions and retail investors."

Russell indexes are widely used by investment managers and institutional investors for index funds and as benchmarks for active investment strategies.
