AVANTI GOLD ANNOUNCES ELIGIBILITY FOR DEPOSITORY TRUST COMPANY SERVICES FOR SHARES TRADED ON THE OTCQB VENTURE MARKET

Avanti Gold Corp. has achieved Depository Trust Company (DTC) eligibility for its common shares trading on the OTCQB Venture Market under the symbol AVTGF, following its initial listing announcement in December 2025. This corporate milestone represents a significant enhancement to the company's market accessibility and liquidity profile in the United States.

DTC eligibility is a critical operational requirement for efficient trading of securities in US markets, enabling electronic clearing and settlement of transactions through the industry-standard infrastructure. This designation eliminates potential barriers that can restrict institutional participation and retail investor access, as many brokerages require DTC eligibility for their clients to trade securities efficiently.

For Avanti Gold, this development strengthens its capital markets positioning by providing seamless access to US investors while maintaining its primary listing on the Canadian Securities Exchange (CSE: AGC) and Frankfurt Stock Exchange (FSE: X370). The multi-exchange presence, now fully operationalized with DTC services, expands the company's potential investor base and enhances trading liquidity across North American markets.

The timing of this announcement reflects Avanti's systematic approach to building market infrastructure to support its gold exploration and development activities. With improved market access now in place, the company is better positioned to attract US-based institutional and retail investment, which is particularly valuable for junior mining companies seeking to fund exploration programs and advance project development in competitive commodity markets.
