TORONTO, Dec. 18 /PRNewswire-FirstCall/ -- Duluth Metals Limited ("DM") (TSX:DM) is pleased to announce that the Toronto Stock Exchange has agreed to have the Company's listed common shares trade in both U.S. and Canadian dollars. Effective at the opening on Tuesday, December 19, 2006, trading in the common shares of the company will commence on the Toronto Stock Exchange in U.S. funds under the symbol DM.U and will continue to trade in Canadian funds under the symbol DM. The common shares trading under the symbol DM.U will have the same CUSIP number as the common shares trading under the symbol DM, that being 26443R 10 0.
Duluth Metals Limited made the application to the Toronto Stock Exchange to quote the Company's listed common shares in both U.S. and Canadian dollars, in order to more effectively accommodate its existing U.S. investors and facilitate new U.S. investors. Some U.S. investors who expressed strong interest in the Company were unable to invest because some brokers would only deal in U.S. Dollar denominated securities or securities quoted in U.S. Dollars.
"We are very pleased with the assistance of the Toronto Stock Exchange in agreeing with our request for dual currency quotation and thereby allowing Duluth Metals to provide greater access to our U.S. shareholders and future U.S. investors. It is particularly important to have broad access to the United States marketplace since our properties are located in the U.S. and most of our activities will directly affect this market" stated Dr. Henry (Rick) J. Sandri President and CEO.
