VANCOUVER, BRITISH COLUMBIA--(Marketwired - Jan 5, 2016) - Columbus Gold Corp. (TSX VENTURE:CGT)(OTCQX:CBGDF) - As previously announced on December 31, 2015, Columbus reports that it has received conditional approval for its common shares to be listed for trading on the Toronto Stock Exchange. Upon completion of the final listing requirements, anticipated in January 2016, Columbus Gold's common shares will be delisted from the TSX Venture Exchange and continue to trade on the Toronto Stock Exchange under its existing symbol CGT.
Columbus Gold is 1 of only 3 Metals & Mining Sector companies to graduate or receive conditional approval to graduate from the TSX Venture Exchange to the Toronto Stock Exchange in the entire 2015 calendar year. Columbus Gold ends the year on the TSX Venture in the top 3% of Metals & Mining Sector companies ranked by market capitalization; 10th in the Gold Sub-Industry segment; and in the top 5% of all TSX Venture listed companies.

Robert Giustra, CEO of Columbus Gold, commented: "The TSX Venture Exchange, as a leading global marketplace for financing and trading of emerging companies, has been vital to Columbus Gold's growth. Graduation to the Toronto Stock Exchange, one of the largest and most important stock exchanges in the world is a fundamental transition. Achieving a listing advances Columbus Gold's strategy of augmenting market visibility, developing liquidity and improving access to a broader pool of international capital; an ongoing endeavor commenced with an OTCQX listing in the United States, followed by full DTC Eligibility and electronic trading status in 2015."
