Fathom Nickel CEO Ian Fraser joined Steve Darling from Proactive to provide insight into the company's progress and future plans. Established in 2015 with a focus on battery metals like nickel, copper, and cobalt, Fathom Nickel aims to secure critical North American metal supplies essential for electric vehicle (EV) batteries and decarbonization efforts. Operating two properties in northern Saskatchewan, namely Albert Lake and Gochager Lake, Fathom Nickel has been actively exploring these sites to uncover valuable mineral deposits. While Albert Lake served as the company's flagship project at its IPO, the acquisition of the Gochager Lake property in late 2022 marked a significant expansion of its portfolio. Extensive drilling efforts at both sites have yielded promising results, particularly at Gochager Lake, attracting attention from the market. Despite challenges in funding simultaneous projects, Fraser highlighted successful winter drilling programs and outlined plans for further exploration, including field mobilization in June and drone surveys to gather crucial data. Fraser underscored the importance of the U.S. market, citing productive engagements at recent conferences in New York. Fathom Nickel's listings on the Canadian Securities Exchange (CSE) and the OTC Markets Group have facilitated strong support from U.S. investors. Leveraging governmental incentives for critical metals, the company aims to secure funding for the exploration stage and advance its strategic goals in North America's burgeoning battery metals #proactiveinvestors #fathomnickelinc #cse #fni #otcqb #fnicf #mining #nickel #BatteryMetals, #NickelMining, #CopperMining, #CobaltMining, #EVBatteries, #Decarbonisation, #NorthAmericanMetals, #AlbertLake, #SugarLake, #MiningExploration, #Saskatchewan, #CriticalMetals, #OTCMarkets, #CSE, #USMarket, #DroneSurvey, #FieldCrews, #DrillingPrograms, #MarketAttention#invest #investing #investment #investor #stockmarket #stocks #stock #stockmarketnews

OTC Markets Group EVP of Corporate Services Jason Paltrowitz joined Steve Darling from Proactive to share some compelling findings from a study conducted by the OTC Markets. This study aimed to evaluate the performance of all Initial Public Offerings (IPOs) that took place on the NASDAQ CM and NYSE AMEX markets in 2022, totaling 91 deals. One striking aspect of the study was the snapshot of the market cap of these companies the day after the offering, which averaged at an impressive $213 million. However, a mere 28 days post-IPO, this average had dipped significantly to $102 million, and the current average currently rests at a more modest $56 million. These figures underscore the dynamic nature of the market and the challenges these newly listed companies face in maintaining their initial valuations. The study's findings revealed some alarming statistics, with a staggering 92% of IPOs experiencing negative rates of return from their offer price. The overall average total return across all these IPOs stood at a daunting -64.8%. Even more concerning was the fact that 34% of these companies found themselves on an exchange non-compliance list post-IPO, highlighting the difficulties they encountered in meeting regulatory requirements. Additionally, 51% of these newly listed firms resorted to reverse stock splits, either before or after their IPOs, raising questions about the alignment of interests within these companies. Amidst these findings, the study underscores several crucial takeaways for companies contemplating an exchange raise. Companies need to carefully assess whether they are well-positioned for success post-capital raise, considering factors such as their size and stage of development. Equally important are considerations related to advisory fees, compliance expenses, and the potential dilution costs for existing shareholders. Another critical consideration is the investor base, as companies should identify the type of investors participating in the offering – whether they are long-term holders or short-term intermediaries seeking to quickly flip discounted shares. Addressing these questions becomes essential for a successful exchange raise, as they directly impact a company's ability to navigate the complexities of the public market landscape effectively. #proactiveinvestors #otcmarkets #smallcaps #ipo #CorporateServices #StockMarket #Investing #CapitalRaising #FinancialInsights #SmallCap #MediumCap #FinanceTips #MarketResearch #Stocks #PostIPOChallenges #InvestorRelations #BusinessGrowth #MarketData #StockPerformance #EconomicAnalysis #FinancialAdvice #CompanyManagement #StrategicPlanning #CapitalStructure #InvestmentStrategies #StockExchange #MarketTrends #FinancialMarkets#invest #investing #investment #investor #stockmarket #stocks #stock #stockmarketnews

Norse Atlantic Airways (OTCQX:NRSAF) CEO Bjørn Tore Larsen joins Proactive's Stephen Gunnion from OTC Markets Group as the new airline qualified to trade on the OTCQX Best Market.

He explained that the airline commenced long-haul flights between Europe and the US in June 2022 with a few routes and is gradually expanding. "We are taking it slowly to ensure that we walk before we run and also to make sure that we are getting known and are able to fill our seats before heading into the winter which I thing is going to be rough for everybody," Larsen said.

More than $1bn has already been committed to development at Oakridge Centre. And this after $QQ received approval from the OTC Markets Group for its shares to trade on the OTCQB exchange in the U.S. Russ Rossi, Quizam’s President and CEO, sat with us to break down the numbers...

Quizam Media Corp’s (QQ:CSE QQQFF:OTC) wholly owned subsidiary Quantum 1 Cannabis has been experiencing rapid growth across British Columbia. The company opened five stores over the past 12 months... ...with a flagship sixth store on the way Quarterly Revenue shot up from $138,000 Nov. 2019 to $954,000 Nov 2020 The Firm recently closed a $808,500 private placement... Now, the cannabis retailer – which puts its history in the education sector at the heart of its commercial operation – is heading to the big leagues. It began trading on the OTCQB exchange this week, after receiving approval from OTC Markets Group. And that’s just the start of its ambitious plans. Check out this conversation with Russ Rossi, Quizam Media’s President & CEO:

Perhaps, unlike most of her professional peers, when Bea Ordonez first interviewed for a CFO role, she got the job. At the time, perhaps no one was more surprised than Ordonez, whose finance resume—while impressive for a 26-year-old—still lacked a number of C-suite prerequisites. Twenty years later, she still resides in the C-Suite, having filled a number of consecutive CFO and COO roles over the years. Nonetheless, she credits her first CFO tour of duty with having opened the door for everything that has followed. “On paper, at least, I was woefully underqualified for the job. I interviewed, landed the role, and then worked really, really hard to learn the business from the ground up,” says Ordonez, whose first CFO stint was with a joint venture originally formed with Bloomberg Tradebook known as G-Trade. Located on the island of Bermuda, the broker-dealer start-up no doubt found Ordonez an attractive hire in part because she was at the time an island resident. Still, for all of those trying to decode shortcuts to the C-suite or uncover a coveted secret behind becoming a 26-year-old CFO, we’d wager that Ordonez’s words “worked really, really hard” perhaps best reveal her world of both today and 20 years ago. As G-Trade grew, Ordonez became tasked with quickly adding talent to help answer the organization’s growing demand for financial and operational support. “We were providing support for trading activities across close to 90 global markets and at the same time building a culture and creating a work ethic that even to this day I am very proud of,” recalls Ordonez, while once more drawing our attention to her unwavering appetite for the work itself. “At times in my career, I didn’t have any personal life, and what time I did have, I used for sleeping,” confides Ordonez, who adds that today—more than ever before—she is achieving a positive work/life balance. –Jack Sweeney

For this episode of the Planet MicroCap Podcast, I spoke with Cromwell Coulson, CEO of OTC Markets Group, Inc., a publicly-traded company, OTCM on the OTCQX. I originally spoke with Cromwell on the podcast in Episode 25. During that episode, we discussed his background, history of OTC Markets, but we focused quite heavily on Reg A+. At that time, August 2016, the JOBS Act rules had just gone into effect in May 2016, and OTC was, and still is, an integral part of that new ecosystem. However, I invited Mr. Coulson back on for a couple reasons: 1. I think its important for the MicroCap community to hear from Cromwell and get his latest insights on critical issues that affect our space 2. I’ve spoken with many investors both on here, at events, etc…, and wanted to take this opportunity to ask Cromwell some questions that other investors want to know from him 3.

For full disclosure, I am not a shareholder. On past episodes, I’vedone individual interviews that covered OTC Markets, Reg.

Last fall, the IPO market “fizzled” and 2016 has seen the broader market fall well into “ correction” territory (representing more than a 10% drop from the peak). That hasn’t stopped Elio Motors from raising over $16 million in a “mini-IPO” with help from StartEngine. Elio Motors, founded by Paul Elio, is developing a sub-$7,000, three-wheeled vehicle that seats two people and gets 84 miles per gallon. Last summer, Elio “tested the waters” and found interest of over $27 million (a spokesman says the tally reached $45.6 million). With the SEC’s official sanction, Elio launched their regulation A offering, something of a cross between a traditional IPO and investment crowdfunding, just as the market began to stumble. Elio explains that as with a traditional IPO, the shares will trade publicly, “ Shares in Elio Motors will soon become eligible to be traded on the OTCQX, the top tier of the three marketplaces for trading over-the-counter stocks provided and operated by the OTC Markets Group. This will provide liquidity for investors who purchase stock through the Regulation A+ offering.” “Elio Motors will close out the current Regulation A+ stock offering on Feb. 1, 2016, as one of the steps needed to allow for OTCQX trading,” he adds. According to Elio, the funds will be used to fund engineering and testing vehicles, the “E-Series” to test “aerodynamics, durability and safety.” Read the full Forbes article and watch the interview here: http://onforb.es/20oZ1Ls.

For this episode of the Planet MicroCap Podcast, I wanted to learn more about the relationship and long history between MicroCap stocks and OTC Markets. For clarification, “OTC”, stands for “Over-the-Counter”, which means, as Investopedia defines it as, “a security traded in some context other than on a formal exchange such as the NYSE, TSX, AMEX, etc…” Investopedia breaks it down even further, when it states, “the reason for which a stock is traded over-the-counter is usually because a company is small, making it unable to meet exchange listing requirements.” That sounds a lot like, MicroCap Stocks, right?However, because of advances in new technology and growing interest in MicroCap stocks, I wanted to find out if the relationship has gotten more complex over the years. To help me with this task, I spoke with Jason Paltrowitz, Executive Vice President of Corporate Services at OTC Markets Group, Inc., who own and operate the Over-the-counter financial marketplaces, OTCQX, OTCQB, and OTC Pink. He is responsible for all international and domestic corporate services. The Planet MicroCap Podcast is brought to you by SNN Incorporated, publishers of StockNewsNow.com, The Official MicroCap News Source, and the MicroCap Review Magazine, the leading magazine in the MicroCap market - check out the latest issue here: MicroCap Review Summer/Fall 2015In this episode, Mr. Paltrowitz discuss the following topics: History of the Over-the-Counter stock marketsHow the OTC Markets came to beDescription of the OTCQX, OTCQB and OTC Pink markets: what are the differences, qualifications for trading on each, etc...How has the OTC Markets globalized the stock market? Discusses ADR's, "American Depository Receipt"'sHow difficult is it for companies to list on multiple exchanges including OTC Markets in the USHow does market making work together with OTC Markets?Why are a big percentage of MicroCap stocks listed on one of the OTC Markets' exchanges?Comments on LiquidityHow does OTC Markets attract new listing companies?
