Toronto, Ontario–(Newsfile Corp. – March 24, 2023) – Orefinder’s Resources Inc. (TSXV: ORX) (“Orefinders” or the “Company“) is pleased to announce that it will be seeking shareholder approval for the updating of its listing status from a mining issuer to both an investment and mining issuer pursuant to the policies of the TSX Venture Exchange (the “Exchange“).
This update aims to increase the Company’s flexibility and optionality to make strategic investments and incubate new opportunities focused on gold and other critical metals. Orefinders’ exploration strategy and core portfolio of assets remain unchanged. This updated listing status allows management to transact corporately as the Company has in the past with the spin offs of QC Copper and Gold Inc., American Eagle Gold Corp., and its activist investment Mistango River Resources Inc. With this new listing status, Orefinders may undertake corporate transactions, acquire strategic equity positions, or incubate new junior companies as opportunities arise.
“We are pleased to provide this update and formalize Orefinders ability to continue to invest aggressively with the drill but also creatively at the corporate level. Our team has a track record of making accretive transactions aimed at improving our balance sheet, lowering our cost, and increasing our capital availability. These corporate-type transactions are then reallocated into investments via the drill bit for discovery and delineation of gold and metals of interest,” said Stephen Stewart, Orefinders’ CEO.
