Tesoro Managing Director, Zeff Reeves commented:
"Commencing trading on the OTCQX Best Market represents an upgrade that is expected to broaden our international investor reach and improve access for U.S. investors seeking exposure to Tesoro's exploration and project development journey.
Tesoro has built a substantial gold investment opportunity in Chile's Coastal Cordillera, with the discovery and definition of the country's first Intrusive Related Gold System and subsequent rapid advancement of the El Zorro Gold Project towards a development decision.
With a large gold resource, strong exploration upside and an active programme of development and permitting activities underway, Tesoro has seen increasing interest from North American investors and this upgrade ensures we are well placed to capture the flow of capital into gold equities."
