Ameriwest Engages Independent Trading Group to Provide Market Making Services
Executive Summary
The financial terms include monthly compensation of $6,000 plus applicable taxes, payable in advance. The agreement operates on a rolling one-month basis, with either party able to terminate with 30 days' notice. Notably, ITG will not receive any equity compensation, and the companies confirmed they are unrelated entities with no cross-ownership interests.
For Ameriwest, this market making arrangement represents a strategic move to enhance trading liquidity and market stability for its shares. The company is currently advancing multiple critical mineral projects including the Bornite copper-gold-silver property in Oregon, the Xeno rare earth property in British Columbia, and the Thompson Valley lithium clay property in Arizona. Enhanced liquidity could support the company's ability to access capital markets as it develops these strategic assets.
The engagement of professional market making services reflects growing sophistication among junior mining companies in managing their public market presence. For a company like Ameriwest, which operates across multiple critical mineral sectors including copper, gold, rare earths, and lithium, improved trading liquidity could facilitate institutional investor participation and support future financing activities as the company advances its exploration and development programs.
