US OTC Market
Solis is pleased to announce the engagement of New York-based Amvest Capital Inc. to assist the Company with its application to cross-list on the OTCQB Exchange in the United States. The Company formerly held a US OTC Grey Market listing. It is anticipated that an upgraded listing to the OTCQB will provide greater liquidity and a more seamless trading experience for U.S. shareholders of Solis. The upgrade may also provide certain exemptions from U.S. state securities laws or “blue sky” exemptions which may help to further increase liquidity and expand investment advisors’ ability to research and recommend investment in Solis Minerals.
Amvest Capital is a specialist investment management and corporate finance firm focused solely on the Natural Resources sector and has assisted numerous TSXV and ASX companies with OTCQB cross-listing applications.

New Peru Application
