Ophir Gold Corp. announced that it has received approval from OTC Markets Group Inc. to begin trading on the OTCQB® Venture Market (the "OTCQB") under the ticker symbol "KPZIF" effective at the open of markets. The common shares of Ophir will continue to be listed on the TSX Venture Exchange under the ticker symbol "OPHR", as well as on the Frankfurt Stock Exchange under the ticker symbol "80M". The OTCQB offers early-stage and developing Canadian companies the benefits of being publicly traded in the U.S. with lower cost and complexity than a U.S. exchange listing. Streamlined market standards enable Canadian companies to provide a strong baseline of transparency to inform and engage U.S. investors. To be eligible, Canadian companies must be current in their SEDAR reporting and undergo an annual verification and management certification process. Nauth LPC acted as the Company's OTC Markets Sponsor in connection with the listing of the Company's common shares on the OTCQB.
