Southern Empire Achieves U.S. Listing Upgrade to the OTCQB Venture Market
Last Friday, the company had come into focus after it announced that it had been granted the necessary approval for its common shares to start trading on the OTCQB Venture Market. It was a listing upgrade for the firm in the United States and hence, there seemed to be considerable optimism among investors as well.

Key Quote
Dale Wallster, CEO of Southern Empire commented, “We upgraded our listing from the OTC pink sheets to the OTCQB based on feedback from American investors and changes to regulatory compliance requirements in the United States. Our OTCQB listing should help to increase SMP’s market exposure to American investors, provide them with easier access to trade our shares, diversify our shareholder base, and enhance our trading liquidity. Considering our key Oro Cruz Project is in the southwestern U.S.A., the OTCQB listing is of particular relevance for Southern Empire.”
