THIS NEWS RELEASE IS INTENDED FOR DISTRIBUTION IN CANADA ONLY AND IS NOT FOR DISTRIBUTION TO UNITED STATES NEWSWIRE SERVICES OR FOR DISSEMINATION IN THE UNITED STATES
Buffalo Coal Corp. ("Buffalo Coal" or the "Corporation") (TSX:BUF)(JSE:BUC) today announced that, further to its press release dated May 22, 2015, it has applied to voluntarily delist its common shares (the "Common Shares") from the Toronto Stock Exchange ("TSX") and expects to submit an application for the listing and posting of the Common Shares on the TSX Venture Exchange (the "TSXV").
The Corporation believes that listing the Common Shares on the TSXV will provide greater operational efficiency and lower costs. Buffalo Coal has not yet received formal listing approval from the TSXV; however, the Corporation is currently finalizing its listing application and expects that the transition between the TSX and TSXV will be completed in an efficient manner.
It is expected that the Common Shares will be delisted and therefore no longer traded on the TSX after the close of trading on or about November 6, 2015. The Common Shares will continue to be listed and posted for trading on the Johannesburg Stock Exchange ("JSE"). Buffalo Coal will however make an application to the JSE to transfer its listing from the Main Board of the JSE to the Alternative Exchange in order to maintain its JSE listing as a secondary listing.
