TORONTO, Sept. 12, 2023 /CNW/ - Global Atomic Corporation ("Global Atomic" or the "Company"), (TSX: GLO) (OTCQX: GLATF) (FRANKFURT: G12) is pleased to announce that the Company has been included on the Toronto Stock Exchange ("TSX") rankings for the 30 best stock price performances over the last three years. The TSX30, established in 2019, is an annual ranking of the 30 top-performing stocks over a three-year period ending June 30, 2023, based on share price appreciation.
Global Atomic President and CEO, Stephen G. Roman commented "We are very proud of our Team and the work we have done to advance the Dasa Project since its discovery in 2010. Receiving this acknowledgement from the Toronto Stock Exchange and being included in the TSX30 is a major recognition of all the hard work our Team has accomplished over the past 3 years advancing this world class asset. While more recent share price performance has reflected the uncertainty about the outcome of political issues in Niger, the fundamentals of the Dasa Project continue to improve as we advance our production milestones. We are confident the Dasa Mine will soon become the highest-grade and lowest-cost uranium mine in Africa. We thank all shareholders who have supported us over the last three years and continued to do so during these recent events."
