“After going public on the Toronto Venture Exchange in April of 2022, Lavras Gold began trading on the US OTCQB platform in February of 2023 and is pleased that growth in that short period of time has allowed us to upgrade to the OTCQX,” commented Michael Durose, President and CEO of Lavras Gold. “The US represents a significant investment market for Lavras Gold. Trading on the OTCQX allows Lavras to have access to large numbers of quality investors and for those same quality investors to have access to Lavras Gold on a familiar and easily accessible platform. We look forward to the broader market exposure and to interacting with those investors whose preference is to trade on this platform.”
