TORONTO, ONTARIO–(Marketwired – Feb. 28, 2017) – Continental Precious Minerals Inc. (TSX:CZQ) (“Continental”, the “Company”) reports that it has applied for voluntary delisting of its shares on the TSX and concurrently applied for a listing on the NEX, a separate board of the TSX-V.
Following the sale of the Viken Project in Sweden, Continental does not currently have any assets other than its cash of approximately $5.5 million. An NEX listing will continue to offer investors an opportunity to buy and sell Continental shares, while at the same time reducing the Company’s expenses. The Company is currently evaluating other opportunities and will provide updates as they become available.
The Company expects the delisting of its shares from the TSX and transition to the NEX to happen simultaneously and the Company will issue a further press release once the date has been determined.
The Company also wishes to announce that Dave Pryce has resigned as a director of the Company. Norman Brewster, Interim CEO, commented, “On behalf of CZQ, we thank Mr. Pryce for his contributions to the company over the years and we wish him the very best in his future endeavours.”
