Each ADR will comprise 10 existing Phoenix shares currently trading on AIM and will be issued on OTCQX under the ticker PXCLY, alongside the ordinary shares, which will continue to trade under the ticker PXCLF.
“We expect the ADRs to be available to a diverse range of potential US and other investors currently restricted from trading our Ordinary Shares. Given that we are operating in Idaho and will be producing metals necessary for the global transition to clean energy, we look forward to increased exposure in the US and to attracting more US investors to our register,” said Richard Wilkins, CFO of Phoenix Copper.
The company’s shares are up over 3% from Wednesday’s close at 68.6p. In September, Phoenix Copper shares gained after its CEO bought over 63,000 shares in the company.
