It enables LithiumBank to expand its reach to a larger portion of the global investment community, while providing a more efficient and seamless trading process.

The Company is also making its application to list on the OTCQX and will provide an update as to the listing progress in the coming months. Rob Shewchuk, Chairman and CEO stated," listing on the OTCQX will be an especially important milestone for LithiumBanks current and prospective shareholders. The Company looks forward to broadening its exposure in the United States."
