(CSE: ICG) (FSE: JI0) (OTC Pink: ICGSF) ("ICG" or the "Company") a precious minerals exploration Company focused on the Tuscarora District in Elko County, Nevada (the "Project" or "District"), is pleased to announce that it has completed the Financial Industry Regulatory Authority ("FINRA") Form 211 process and secured Depository Trust Company ("DTC") eligibility for its common shares trading in the United States on the OTC Pink market under the symbol "ICGSF".

The Company continues to trade on the OTC Pink Market under the symbol "ICGSF", with quotations now supported through the completed Form 211 process. In addition, ICG's common shares are now eligible for electronic clearing and settlement in the United States through the DTC.
