Foran Mining Announces Commencement of Trading on the OTCQX Market
VANCOUVER, BC, April 20, 2021 /CNW/ - Foran Mining Corporation (TSXV: FOM) (OTCQX: FMCXF) ("Foran" or the "Company") is pleased to announce that its common shares are now trading on the OTCQX under the ticker symbol "FMCXF". Foran will continue to trade on the TSX Venture Exchange in Canada as its primary listing under the symbol "FOM".
Dan Myerson, Executive Chair of Foran, commented: "We are delighted to commence trading on OTCQX. Investors in the USA now have the ability to directly participate in the evolution of Foran Mining, as we build a world class copper mine in Saskatchewan, one of the world's premier mining jurisdictions. McIlvenna Bay is envisioned to be the first of several deposits to feed our state-of-the-art centralized mill which will facilitate even grander scalability of copper, gold, silver and zinc production and more so, greater economics. We are incorporating advanced industry best practices and harnessing technology to drive innovation and efficiency at every stage of development and production – creating safe jobs, supporting local communities and mitigating the impacts on the environment inherent in mining. In order to be a leader in our industry, we are committed to being carbon neutral from day one of production, and in doing so, we intend to deliver a premium responsibly sourced product to the market, creating maximum value and superior returns for our shareholders, stakeholders and society.
"We are re-imagining mining from the underground up, protecting the earth with zero-emission technologies and carbon-reducing practices, and focusing on worker safety, quality of life, and community. This will mean that the products we need for our daily lives and the world of tomorrow, like cell phones, solar and wind technologies, and electric vehicles, have a lower social, environmental and economic cost. The recent board appointment of Dr. Jean Rogers, who has almost 20 years of experience at the forefront of the development of ESG standards and principles, together with a range of top engineering and environmental consultants, demonstrates our commitment to responsible mining. Our compliance with ESG principles also removes the reputational risk and barriers that can prevent some from gaining exposure to the strong returns which are traditionally associated with investing in mining projects. With this in mind, we look forward to welcoming new investors to our register."

About Foran Mining
Foran Mining is an exploration and development company, and committed to supporting a greener future, empowering communities and creating circular economies which create value for all our stakeholders, while also safeguarding the environment.
Our goal is to build the first mine in Canada designed to be carbon neutral from day one of production. We are in the feasibility stage of development for our flagship McIlvenna Bay project in eastern Saskatchewan.
McIlvenna Bay is a copper-zinc-gold-silver rich VMS deposit intended to be the center of a new mining camp in a prolific district that has already been producing for 100 years. McIlvenna Bay sits just 65km from Flin Flon, Manitoba and is part of the world class Flin Flon Greenstone Belt that extends from Snow Lake, Manitoba, through Flin Flon to Foran's ground in eastern Saskatchewan, a distance of over 225km.
McIlvenna Bay is the largest undeveloped VMS deposit in the region. The Company filed a NI 43-101 Technical Report for the PFS on the McIlvenna Bay Deposit on SEDAR on April 28, 2020. Foran's copper-zinc VMS Bigstone Deposit is expected to serve as additional feed for the mill at McIlvenna Bay. The Company filed a NI 43-101 Technical Report for the Bigstone Deposit's first resource estimate on January 21, 2021.
