PACIFIC RIM ACHIEVES DTC ELIGIBILITY; SHARES TRADE ON OTCQB

Pacific Rim Cobalt Corp. has received approval from the Depository Trust Company of New York, and is now DTC eligible for registration. The Depository Trust Company is a subsidiary of the Depository Trust & Clearing Corp., which manages the electronic clearing and settlement of DTC-eligible publicly traded companies. Transactions involving DTC-eligible securities can be efficiently cleared and settled by electronic methods that accelerate the settlement of trades and the exchange of stock and cash.

The company's shares were listed and called for trading on the OTCQB Venture Market with trading symbol PCRCF, during January, 2018. The OTCQB Venture Market offers companies the opportunity to build their visibility, expand their liquidity and diversify their shareholder base on an established public market.

Ranjeet Sundher, Pacific Rim Cobalt's president and chief executive officer, said, "The company's listing on the OTCQB, combined with DTC eligibility, provides a simpler, more efficient process for United States and international investors to participate as owners during this exciting growth period for our company."

DTCC clears and settles virtually all broker-to-broker equity, listed corporate and municipal bond, and unit investment trust (UIT) transactions in the U.S. equities markets. DTC is a member of the U.S. Federal Reserve System, a limited-purpose trust company under New York State banking law and a registered clearing agency with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission.
