Columbus Gold Corporation (TSX-V:CGT) (OTCQX:CBGDF) is pleased to announce that on September 5th its common shares started trading in the United States on the OTCQX International, the highest tier of the OTC market, under the symbol CBGDF. Columbus Gold’s common shares continue to trade on the TSX Venture Exchange under the symbol CGT.

“Given our prominent gold project portfolio and established base of shareholders in the United States, trading on the OTCQX was a natural evolution for Columbus Gold. We anticipate an increase in our profile with the augmented market visibility and unique trading platform that the OTCQX marketplace will provide,” commented Robert Giustra, Chairman and CEO of Columbus Gold.

Robert Giustra commented further, “Adding liquidity and building investor awareness are ongoing objectives and to that extent we are also aiming to become DTC-eligible in the United States and to graduate to the Toronto Stock Exchange from the TSX Venture Exchange in the coming months; milestones that would also significantly improve access to capital.”

Scarsdale Equities LLC will serve as Columbus Gold’s Principal American Liaison (“PAL”) on the OTCQX, and provide guidance to Columbus on OTCQX requirements.
