TRU Co-Founder and CEO Joel Freudman commented, “Today marks a seminal event for TRU. This is the outcome that we have been working towards over the past months: becoming a mining issuer. With our strong district-scale land package in the Central Newfoundland Gold Belt secured, having five properties within the region, we are well-positioned and well-funded to commence our various work programs. Once again, we thank all our loyal shareholders for their patience over these past months. We are excited to move forward with our business and exploration objectives, and to resume trading in our shares, so that we can grow TRU and continue to unlock value for our investors.”
The Company intends to resume trading on May 14, 2021. Upon resumption of trading, the Company will be listed on the Exchange as a Tier 2 “mining issuer”. The Company’s name and ticker symbol, “TRU”, will remain the same.
