Canary Gold Corp. announced that its common shares will begin trading on the OTCQB Venture Market under the symbol "CNYGF" starting March 19, 2026. This development represents a strategic expansion of the company's market presence, coinciding with ongoing exploration activities at its district-scale Madeira River Project in Brazil, where a 20,000-metre, dual-rig drill program is currently active.
Mark Tommasi, President of Canary Gold, stated that listing on the OTCQB marks an important step in expanding the company's market presence and accessibility to U.S. investors. He emphasized that enhanced North American exposure is expected to help broaden the shareholder base and elevate the company's profile during a pivotal period of exploration advancement and consistent news flow from the Madeira River Project.
The OTCQB, operated by OTC Markets Group Inc., is a recognized U.S. public market for entrepreneurial and development-stage companies that meet current reporting standards. Trading on this platform is anticipated to improve Canary's visibility among U.S. investors while providing greater accessibility for trading in U.S. dollars during U.S. market hours. Real-time quotes and market information will be available at https://www.otcmarkets.com under the ticker "CNYGF," which is expected to support increased liquidity and broader investor engagement.
Canary Gold will maintain its existing listings on the Canadian Securities Exchange under the symbol "BRAZ" and on the Frankfurt Stock Exchange under the symbol "K5D." The company's principal asset remains its district-scale Madeira Project in Rondônia State, Brazil, where it holds a large, underexplored land position prospective for gold hosted in Mocururu duricrust and related paleo-channel systems within the broader Madeira River region.
The company's strategy involves systematically advancing the project through modern exploration, target generation, and drilling, with the objective of defining and unlocking the scale of the gold system across its land package. With active drilling underway and a growing geological database, Canary is focused on building long-term value through disciplined exploration in one of Brazil's historically productive gold regions.
This move to the OTCQB Venture Market represents a significant milestone for Canary Gold as it seeks to capitalize on increased investor interest in gold exploration companies with substantial projects in mineral-rich jurisdictions. The enhanced trading accessibility may facilitate greater capital market participation from U.S.-based investors who previously faced barriers to accessing the company's shares through Canadian and European exchanges.
The timing of this listing coincides with heightened global interest in gold as both a strategic commodity and investment asset, particularly amid economic uncertainties and inflationary pressures affecting traditional financial markets. Canary's expanded market presence through the OTCQB platform could position the company to better attract investment capital needed to advance its exploration programs and potentially accelerate resource definition at the Madeira River Project.
For the broader mining industry, Canary's successful OTCQB listing demonstrates the continued importance of U.S. capital markets for junior exploration companies seeking to fund ambitious projects in emerging mining regions. The development also highlights the growing integration of global mining investment markets, where companies increasingly maintain multiple exchange listings to maximize investor access across different geographic regions and time zones.
