CSE SEES RECORD LISTINGS GROWTH

The Canadian Securities Exchange (CSE) had a record 13 new companies listed with the CSE in the month of June. The previous record, 10 listings, was set in December, 2010. Trading activity on the exchange during the month was the third best ever, both by share turnover and value-traded measures: more than 257 million shares changed hands with a value exceeding $68-million.

"We are dedicated to lowering the costs of Canadian public capital for entrepreneurs," comments chief executive officer, Richard Carleton. "We are delighted that so many companies are taking advantage of our listing services, and that their securities are finding a growing audience among investors," he adds.
