MONTREAL, Aug. 27, 2020 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- TOMAGOLD CORPORATION (TSXV: LOT) (“TomaGold” or the “Corporation”) is pleased to announce that its shares will resume trading on the TSX Venture Exchange on August 31, 2020.

On August 26, 2020, the Corporation closed the acquisition of the 2.5% interest held by Quinto Resources Inc. (TSXV: QIT) in the Monster Lake property. In consideration, the Corporation paid an amount of $250,000 to Quinto and returned 750,000 shares of Quinto held by TomaGold. TomaGold now holds a 25% interest in the Monster Lake property and IAMGOLD Corporation, 75%.

“Now that our shares will be trading again, our ultimate goal will be to create value for our shareholders in a very favourable climate for gold mining companies,” said David Grondin, President and Chief Executive Officer of TomaGold. “Over the next few weeks, we will begin a new phase of development of our mining assets with a view to initiating exploration programs as early as this fall. One of the great advantages of TomaGold is the location of its mining properties in close proximity to major discoveries.”
