Pure Nickel to Commence Trading on the TSX Venture Exchange on October 10, 2013
TORONTO, Oct. 9, 2013 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Pure Nickel Inc. (TSX:NIC) (the "Company") reports that its common shares will commence trading on the TSX Venture Exchange ("TSX Venture") on October 10, 2013 under its same trading symbol, NIC. To ensure continued and seamless trading liquidity for the Company's shareholders the shares will be delisted from the Toronto Stock Exchange ("TSX") at the end of trading on October 9, 2013 and will commence trading on the TSX Venture at market open on October 10, 2013.
On May 7, 2013 the TSX issued a bulletin initiating a review of Pure Nickel with respect to continued listing criteria. The Company's market capital was below $3.0 million for 30 consecutive trading days, which triggered the delisting review. Pure Nickel currently meets all of the listing criteria save for the market capitalization requirement. In anticipation of the TSX's decision to delist, and given the resource market was not recovering over the summer months, the Company made use of the streamlined listing procedure for moving to the TSX Venture.
