Asante Gold Corporation is set to begin trading on the TSX Venture Exchange on Wednesday, Sept. 24, shifting its primary Canadian venue from the Canadian Securities Exchange.
The company said its shares will trade on the TSXV under the symbol ASE, the same ticker it used on the CSE. Trading on the CSE will cease at the close on Tuesday, Sept. 23. Shareholders do not need to take any action as part of the transition, according to the company’s announcement.
The listing gives Asante a berth on Canada’s best known junior market at a time when mining names have been drawing renewed interest alongside volatile gold prices.
Management framed the move as a way to reach a wider pool of institutions and retail investors who focus their attention, mandates, or trading systems on TSXV issuers.
Dave Anthony, president and CEO, said in a press release that the listing should increase visibility and liquidity through exposure to a broader base of investors and could support a re-rating of the stock.
Asante operates the Bibiani and Chirano gold mines in Ghana and is advancing technical studies at its Kubi project.
The company will keep its existing cross listings on the OTCQX in the United States under ASGOF, on the Ghana Stock Exchange under ASG, and in Frankfurt under 1A9. Those secondary listings offer a path for U.S., Ghanaian, and European investors while the TSXV becomes the central Canadian venue.
A TSXV listing typically brings tighter spreads, deeper order books, and stronger broker coverage than the CSE. That can improve price discovery and reduce trading frictions for both institutions and active retail traders.
The TSXV has long served as a gateway to a specialized investor base, a well traveled capital raising ecosystem, and, for some, an eventual path to the Toronto Stock Exchange if size and liquidity thresholds are met.
None of those outcomes are guaranteed, but the venue change is a prerequisite for companies seeking those advantages.
In June, Asante announced commitments of about $470 million in financing anchored by Appian and RMB, alongside conditional acceptance for a TSXV listing at that time.
The company has described the package as part of a broader plan to fund growth and recapitalize its operations. Capital translates into mine development, cost reductions, and production stability across Bibiani and Chirano.
Asante has highlighted a focus on improving plant performance, underground development, and recoveries at Chirano, and on sustaining the ramp-up at Bibiani.
Those efforts aim to lift throughput and stabilize grades after a period in which constrained access to ore and lower recoveries weighed on output.
The listing does not change the underlying geology or execution risk, but it could improve access to capital if the company demonstrates momentum on the ground and if gold prices remain supportive.
The CSE delisting occurs after the close on Sept. 23, and TSXV trading begins at the market open on Sept. 24 with no certificate exchange required.
