TORONTO (miningweekly.com) – Vancouver-based B2Gold said it would start trading on the NYSE on Thursday to increase its exposure to institutional and retail investors.
The company would keep its listing on the TSX under symbol BTO and on the Namibian Stock Exchange under the symbol B2G; however, the company would withdraw its shares from listing on the OTCQX concurrent with listing its shares on the NYSE.
"Listing on the NYSE is an important milestone for B2Gold that will create greater exposure among institutional and retail investors," B2Gold president and CEO Clive Johnson said.
"We welcome B2Gold to the NYSE Euronext family of listed companies and onto the NYSE MKT and we look forward to building a strong and lasting relationship with B2Gold management and stockholders," NYSE Euronext executive VP Scott Cutler said.
The gold miner has three operating mines, two in Nicaragua and one in the Philippines, as well as a strong portfolio of development and exploration assets in Nicaragua, Colombia, Namibia and Uruguay.
