TORONTO, Feb. 18, 2020 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Victoria Gold Corp. (TSX.V-VIT) (“Victoria” or the “Company”) announces we have received final approval from the TSX for the graduation of our listing from the TSX Venture Exchange (“TSXV”) to the Toronto Stock Exchange (“TSX”). On Wednesday, February 19, 2020, the common shares of Victoria will begin trading on the TSX, under the new symbol, "VGCX". Victoria’s CUSIP/ISIN will not be affected. In conjunction with listing on the TSX, the common shares will be voluntarily delisted from the TSX Venture Exchange prior to the commencement of trading on the TSX.
"Victoria’s graduation to the TSX is another exciting milestone in what has been a dynamic couple of years for the company” said John McConnell, President and Chief Executive Officer. "As we carry on the ramp up of operations at our Eagle Gold Mine and continue on our path towards becoming an established gold producer, graduating our listing to the senior Canadian stock exchange was a natural step that we believe is reflective of our progress. This up-listing to the TSX will enable us to address an even wider investor audience, both domestically and internationally. We remain focused on building shareholder value and look forward to reporting on our progress as a member of Canada's flagship stock exchange."
