Mill City Gold - Trading Takes Place on "Vista"
CALGARY, ALBERTA--MILL CITY GOLD MINING CORP. is pleased to announce that the Company's common shares will begin trading today on "VISTA" (Vancouver International Securities Trading Access). Mill City joins this select group of some 80 industrial and resource exploration companies with significant operations in the Southeast Asia and Australia regions.
This new evening trading session which was launched on Sunday, September 15, 1996, links the Asia Pacific stock markets, including Australia and Hong Kong, with North America. The additional trading session allows selected companies with business or investor interest in the AustralAsian marketplace to trade real time in Vancouver during the early part of the Australia and Hong Kong business day.
With VISTA, the VSE will re-open between the hours of 5:30 p.m. and 7:30 p.m. (Pacific Standard Time) or 6:30 p.m. and 8:30 p.m. (Pacific Daylight Time). This coincides with the early hours of the exchanges in both Hong Kong and Australia.
In addition, under another initiative from the Exchange, brokerage firms in other countries, such as Hong Kong and Australia, can apply to become "International Associates" of the VSE, a new designation of trading participant that allows the foreign firms many of the same privileges as current members, including trading of the VISTA stocks.
International Associates, along with this new trading session, is part of the VSE's strategy to make investment opportunities available to a global group of brokerage firms and their clients.
VISTA marks a major step in extending VSE trading and reinforces the VSE's position as the leading venture capital exchange in the world.
