VANCOUVER , July 13, 2015 /CNW/ - Wealth Minerals Ltd. ("Wealth" or the "Company") - (TSXV: WML; Frankfurt : EJZ; SSE: WMLCL), announces that, effective July 9, 2015 , the common shares of the Company were listed and posted for trading on the Venture del Mercado de Valores Extranjeros de la Bolsa de Comercio de Santiago (the Venture Board of the Foreign Securities Market of the Santiago Stock Exchange) (SSE). The Company's common shares will trade on the SSE in Chilean pesos under the symbol "WMLCL".
The listing of the Company's common shares on the SSE will allow Wealth to connect to the investment communities in Chile , Peru , Mexico and Colombia through the Latin American Integrated Market (MILA), a program that integrates the capital markets of these countries.
The Company believes that the listing on the SSE, and thereby the access to the investment communities in Chile , Peru , Mexico and Columbia through the MILA, Latin America's largest stock trading platform, is particularly relevant to the Company as management has a long and very successful history of operations in Peru and Mexico and will enhance the interaction with investors in South America. In addition, the Company anticipates that the planned acquisition (presently underway) of the Yanamina Gold Project in Peru (through the acquisition of Coronet Metals Peru S.A.C.) will be of particular interest to the investment communities in these countries and to the investors there who wish to participate in the growth of Wealth.
The listing on the SSE results from an agreement entered into last year with the TSX Venture Exchange ("TSXV") allowing issuers listed on the TSXV to apply for a dual listing on the SSE, providing access to investors and new funding opportunities in Latin American capital markets. The MILA integrated platform allows investors in these four countries, Chile , Peru , Mexico and Columbia, to seamlessly trade shares listed on any of the four markets through their local broker and stock exchange. The Company's common shares are also currently listed on the Frankfurt Stock Exchange under the symbol EJZ.
