TORONTO, ONTARIO--(Marketwired - Sept. 13, 2013) -Thundermin Resources Inc. ("Thundermin") (TSX:THR) is pleased to provide additional information regarding the status of its listing on the Toronto Stock Exchange ("TSX"). On August 12, 2013, Thundermin announced that the Continued Listings Committee of the TSX had notified Thundermin of its intention to delist Thundermin's securities from trading on the TSX at the close of market on September 12, 2013 (the "Delisting Deadline"). The delisting was imposed for failure of Thundermin to meet the continued listing requirements of the TSX. In particular, Thundermin's market capitalization fell below $3.0 million for 30 consecutive trading days and had not sufficiently recovered to regain compliance with continued listing requirements of the TSX.
On September 12, 2013, the TSX issued a bulletin extending the Delisting Deadline to the close of market on October 10, 2013. Thundermin is currently making use of the streamlined listing procedure to seek approval for the listing of its common shares on the TSX Venture Exchange ("TSX-V"). This extension to the Delisting Deadline is intended to allow Thundermin sufficient time to complete the transition to the TSX-V with no disruption in trading of the common shares of Thundermin. Approval for the listing of Thundermin's shares on the TSX-V remains subject to Thundermin completing the TSX-V application process and successfully meeting all TSX-V listing requirements.
