Argentina Metals Corp. began trading on the TSX Venture Exchange under the symbol VLLC in June 2026 and marked the milestone with an official market opening ceremony on July 10, 2026. The Company has since added a Frankfurt Stock Exchange listing (VA5) and an OTCQB quotation (VLLCF), giving investors in Canada, Europe and the United States access to its Argentine copper exploration story.
Why a Copper Explorer Lists in Toronto
Toronto is the premier capital market of the global mining industry. The Toronto Stock Exchange and the TSX Venture Exchange are home to more mining and mineral exploration companies than any other exchange group in the world, and Canadian listing rules, including the mineral disclosure regime of National Instrument 43-101, set a widely respected standard for how companies must report scientific and technical information. For a mineral exploration company, a TSX Venture listing means access to specialised institutional capital and a disclosure framework investors can trust.
Argentina Metals Corp. is a Canadian mineral exploration company focused on copper in Mendoza Province, Argentina. Its shares began trading on the TSX Venture Exchange on June 16, 2026, under the ticker symbol VLLC.
The Ceremony: Toronto Meets Mendoza
On July 10, 2026, Chief Executive Officer Raymond D. Harari opened the market alongside Guillaume Legare, Head of Latin America for the Toronto Stock Exchange. The guest list underlined how closely the Company's story is tied to its host province: Mendoza Governor Alfredo Cornejo and Minister of Energy and Environment Jimena Latorre joined investors and industry leaders for the celebration.

Rather than flying everyone to Bay Street, the market opening was celebrated in Mendoza itself, on the sidelines of the Mendoza Mines and Wines industry event, complete with a live countdown, confetti and a packed hall. The symbolism was hard to miss: a Canadian exchange opening its trading day from the heart of the province where the Company works.
Argentina Metals sees itself as uniquely positioned to contribute to the sustainable development of Mendoza's mineral wealth while maximizing value for global investors.
A Second Home in Frankfurt
On June 25, 2026, Argentina Metals announced that its shares had also commenced trading on the Frankfurt Stock Exchange under the ticker symbol VA5. The Frankfurt Stock Exchange is one of the world's largest exchange trading platforms by volume, and the listing gives European investors a way to trade the shares in euros during European market hours.
The Company stated that the Frankfurt listing is intended to heighten its visibility in European markets, enhance share liquidity and build an engaged European investor base. No new securities were issued in connection with the listing.
Broadening Access: OTCQB and Beyond
The third step followed in late July: the Company's shares were approved for trading on the OTCQB Venture Market in the United States under the symbol VLLCF, with trading commencing on July 29, 2026. Argentina Metals has also applied for DTC eligibility, which would simplify electronic settlement for US investors.

What the Listings Mean for Investors
A listing is not an endorsement of any project, and Argentina Metals remains an early-stage exploration company: no mineral resources or mineral reserves have been estimated on its properties. What the listing does provide is an accessible market to buy and sell the Company's shares and assurance that the Company will be governed by the Canadian regulatory framework that has been accepted by mineral investors. As a Canadian reporting issuer, the Company files its news releases and financial reports on SEDAR+, where any investor can read them free of charge. The three trading venues, Toronto, Frankfurt and the OTCQB, make those same shares accessible across North American and European time zones.
