Excelsior Mining Acquires Blue Sky Exemption Status in California

November 2, 2017

Excelsior Mining is a Company you should keep on your radar. News has been slow but that is because they are moving through the permitting process which always take a while. So far everything seems to be progressing.

This news regarding the Blue Sky Exemption in California helps investors in California more easily invest in the Company. I will be having Steven Twyerould on the show shortly for a quick update. If anyone has any questions on the Company please email me or comment below.

 Click here to visit the Excelsior Mining website for more information.

Excelsior Mining Corp. (TSX: MIN) (FSE: 3XS) (OTCQX: EXMGF) (“Excelsior” or the “Company”) is pleased to announce that the State of California Department of Business Oversight has confirmed the right of Excelsior to offer, sell and issue securities in the state of California (the “Blue Sky Exemption”). The acquisition of the Blue Sky Exemption aligns with Excelsior’s ongoing corporate strategy of laying the groundwork for a listing on a major US stock exchange once all qualification thresholds have been met.  Copper production at the Gunnison Copper Project in Arizona is scheduled for 2018.

Broker-dealers and investment advisors are legally not permitted to recommend, solicit or discuss a security with a client unless that security is compliant with the Blue Sky laws of the state in which the investor resides. These laws are applied in addition to federal securities laws.

Prior to the issuance of the Blue Sky Exemption in California, Excelsior’s listing on the OTCQX already had established Blue Sky status in Alaska, Arkansas, Colorado, Delaware, Georgia, Idaho, Iowa, Indiana, Hawaii, Kansas, Maine, Mississippi, Nebraska, New Jersey, New Mexico, Ohio, Oregon, Pennsylvania, Rhode Island, South Dakota, Texas, Utah, Vermont, West Virginia, Washington, Wisconsin, and Wyoming.

With the addition of California, the most populous state in the United States, Excelsior now retains Blue Sky trading status in 28 American states.

Blue Sky laws do not preclude a broker from acting on specific unsolicited customer orders, although some firms may have a blanket prohibition on accepting orders in non-compliant securities. Blue Sky laws can impact how information, research and advice is distributed to a company’s investors:

  • SECONDARY TRADING: Broker-dealers cannot recommend or give advice on a company’s stock when the company is not compliant with Blue Sky laws in the state in which the investor resides.
  • LIQUIDITY: Companies that have Blue Sky compliance in more states have the opportunity to reach a wider group of investors and investment advisors.
  • RESEARCH: Broker-dealers limit distribution of research reports unless a company’s stock has widespread Blue Sky compliance

Such factors include risks inherent in the exploration and development of mineral deposits, including risks relating to changes in project parameters as plans continue to be redefined including the possibility that mining operations may not commence at the Gunnison Project, risks relating to variations in mineral resources and reserves, grade or recovery rates resulting from current exploration and development activities, risks relating to the ability to access infrastructure, risks relating to changes in copper and other commodity prices and the worldwide demand for and supply of copper and related products, risks related to increased competition in the market for copper and related products and in the mining industry generally, risks related to current global financial conditions, uncertainties inherent in the estimation of mineral resources, access and supply risks, reliance on key personnel, operational risks inherent in the conduct of mining activities, including the risk of accidents, labour disputes, increases in capital and operating costs and the risk of delays or increased costs that might be encountered during the development process, regulatory risks, including risks relating to the acquisition of the necessary licenses and permits, financing, capitalization and liquidity risks, including the risk that the financing necessary to fund the exploration and development activities at the Gunnison Project may not be available on satisfactory terms, or at all, risks related to disputes concerning property titles and interest, environmental risks and the additional risks identified in the “Risk Factors” section of the Company’s reports and filings with applicable Canadian securities regulators.
