Marimaca Initiates ASX Dual Listing Process
VANCOUVER, British Columbia, Nov. 18, 2024 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Marimaca Copper Corp. (“Marimaca Copper” or the “Company”) (TSX: MARI), the copper explorer and developer, located in Chile, is pleased to announce that it has commenced the process to dual list on the Australian Securities Exchange (the “ASX”).
The ASX dual listing is part of Marimaca Copper’s growth strategy and is an important strategic step for its Marimaca Copper Project located in Antofagasta Region, Chile, as it advances through the Definitive Feasibility Study (“DFS”) and project permitting milestones and towards project development.
Hayden Locke, President & CEO of Marimaca Copper, commented:
“We are excited to announce Marimaca Copper’s intention to list on the ASX. This will be an important milestone for the Company as we advance the development of the Marimaca Copper Project. Marimaca is one of the most significant copper oxide discoveries in Chile, a tier 1 mining jurisdiction, in the last decade, which has the potential to become a low capital cost, high margin project.
“The ASX listing, in addition to the TSX listing, will provide the Company with greater access to a deeper pool of institutional capital, where there is also a strong appetite for high quality copper development and exploration projects. This naturally becomes increasingly important in the near term as the Company considers its financing strategy for future development.”
Marimaca Copper notes there is no guarantee that it will receive approval to list on the ASX and will update as it progresses through the process.
