Mackay Gold & Silver Corp. Announces Listing on the OTCQB Under the Symbol “MKGSF“

"Listing on the OTCQB shortly after our TSX.V debut was a priority for Mackay, reflecting our commitment to enhance the Company's visibility and accessibility for U.S. investors," said Darwin Green, Chief Executive Officer of Mackay. "With our inaugural 20,000-metre drill program set to commence mid-June at the Occidental Lode in the Comstock District, one of America's richest and historically productive mining districts, we believe this is an opportune time to broaden our market exposure through the OTCQB. Mackay is well-funded with approximately US$62 million in cash to pursue significant modern discoveries."

The OTCQB Venture Market is recognized as a premier U.S. marketplace for early-stage and developing companies that meet high financial reporting standards and maintain current public disclosure. Listing on the OTCQB is expected to provide Mackay with enhanced visibility and convenience of trading for U.S.-based investors, broadening the Company's shareholder base and improving overall liquidity.
