The TSX listing is another major milestone for Nighthawk, and one that is expected to expand our investor base, improve liquidity, provide access to new sources of capital, and reduce our cost of capital – all of which will benefit our shareholders as we continue to advance Nighthawk’s flagship Colomac Gold Project, and our many other exciting prospects within the Indin Lake Property.
