Toronto,
ON, March 28, 2008 -- Argentex Mining Corporation (TSX-V: ATX, OTCBB: AGXM) is
pleased to announce that its common shares were listed on Canada’s TSX Venture Exchange
(TSX-V) effective March 26, 2008. The ticker symbol “ATX” has
been assigned to Argentex by the TSX-V.
“Listing on the TSX-V is a significant milestone
in our continuing growth, providing both our company and our shareholders with
an exciting new market,” said Ken Hicks, President of
Argentex. “Access to this registered, mining-oriented exchange
provides our company and our shareholders with better access to Canadian
investment capital and enhanced visibility within Canada’s investment
community.”
As outlined in the Exchange Bulletin, the TSX-V, after
listing Argentex’s shares for trading, immediately halted them for a
four-month hold period in order to provide all of the company’s existing
shareholders with a resale exemption under Canadian securities
regulations. Shares of the company’s common stock will begin trading
on the TSX-V on July 28, 2008. Trading in shares of the company’s
stock on its U.S.
and European markets is not affected by this halt or the Canadian hold period.
