Mercator Minerals Files Form 40-F Registration Statement With SEC

08.11.2011  |  Marketwired

VANCOUVER, BRITISH COLUMBIA -- (Marketwire) -- 11/08/11 -- Mercator Minerals Ltd. (TSX: ML) ('Mercator' or the 'Company') reports that it has filed a registration statement on Form 40-F for the purpose of registering its common shares under Section 12 of the United States Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the 'U.S. Exchange Act'). The registration statement is anticipated to become effective 60 days after the filing date, or earlier if accelerated by the United States Securities and Exchange Commission ('SEC'). Upon the registration statement becoming effective, broker-dealers in the United States will be able to effect transactions in common shares of Mercator in the United States. In the meantime, Mercator's common shares continue to trade in Canada on the TSX through Canadian broker-dealers.


In June 2011, Mercator received notification of an order instituting administrative proceedings from the SEC. Mercator understands that this order was issued as a result of a registration statement filed by previous management in 1998 by the Company under its prior name, Silver Eagle Resources Ltd. The order alleged that Silver Eagle Resources Ltd. (now Mercator) had not filed periodic reports with the SEC sufficient to maintain its registration in the United States. Following discussions with the SEC and in order to remedy the situation, Mercator entered into a consent order with the SEC pursuant to which Mercator agreed to the revocation of the registration of its common shares pursuant to Section 12 of the U.S. Exchange Act on the basis that the Company would immediately file a registration statement on Form 40-F to re-register its common shares under Section 12 of the U.S. Exchange Act.
