NFM Expands US Investor Engagement Through OTCQB Listing (NFMXF)

New Frontier Minerals Ltd (LSE and ASX: NFM) is pleased to announce that its ordinary shares have commenced trading on the OTCQB Venture Market under the ticker NFMXF, marking a key step in expanding the Company's US investor engagement.

The OTCQB listing enhances NFM's visibility in the United States and improves accessibility for North American investors seeking exposure to high-quality rare earth and critical minerals projects in Tier-1 jurisdictions.

Highlights:

·    Enhanced investor access through OTCQB listing to broaden NFM's exposure to a deep pool of US institutional and retail investors at a time of heightened global focus on critical minerals security

·    New Frontier Minerals is advancing a US-aligned critical minerals strategy through its Australian portfolio, led by the Harts Range Heavy Rare Earth Project and the NWQ Copper Project, attracting growing interest from North American investors seeking exposure to non-Chinese supply chains

·    Expanding US market presence, NFM continues to assess further opportunities to access US capital markets, building on increasing inbound interest from US-based investors focused on critical minerals and downstream integration

Chairman Gerrard Hall commented: "NFM's Harts Range and NWQ Copper Project is strategically positioned within a stable Australian jurisdiction to contribute to the development of secure, Western-aligned supply chains for heavy rare earth elements, which are critical to advanced manufacturing, defence and clean energy transition.

"Growing geopolitical focus on supply chain security for critical minerals has driven increased interest from US investors, particularly in projects with scale, grade and clear pathways to downstream integration. The OTCQB listing is an important step in expanding our North American investor base and aligning NFM with the increasing US focus on secure and responsible critical minerals supply.

With NFM shares now more accessible to US investors, the Company will continue to evaluate additional initiatives to enhance its US market presence and unlock further shareholder value."
