SCOTIA METALS CORP. ANNOUNCES U.S. LISTING ON OTCQB

Scotia Metals Corp.'s common shares have commenced trading on the OTCQB marketplace under the symbol CSRVF. The company's common shares will continue to trade on the Canadian Securities Exchange under the symbol SMET.

The company expects that the listing on the OTCQB will provide greater visibility and convenience of trading for U.S. investors, resulting in enhanced liquidity and greater reach.

With the OTCQB listing in the United States, together with the company's existing listings on the CSE and the Frankfurt Stock Exchange (symbol C6R0), Scotia Metals' shares are now available to investors across three major markets: the United States, Canada and Europe.

"The listing on OTCQB helps introduce Scotia Metals to a larger audience and improve liquidity in the stock, which is an important factor in the company's development," said Rodrigo Roso, chief executive officer. "The U.S. market is indispensable for accessing larger pools of capital and the U.S. listing provides U.S. investors easier access to transact Scotia Metals shares. With North America racing to build a domestic lithium supply chain, the capital required to bring new mines on-line is enormous and U.S. investors will play a central role in developing it."

According to Benchmark Mineral Intelligence, North America's share of global mined lithium supply is forecast to grow from just 1.7 per cent today to 13 per cent by 2050, as global demand more than triples and requires the equivalent of 134 new mines and over $100-billion (U.S.) in investment (1).

The OTCQB market is for early stage and developing U.S. and international companies. Companies are current in their reporting and undergo an annual verification and management certification process. Investors can find real-time quotes and market information for the company on the OTC Markets website.
