VANCOUVER, British Columbia, November 9, 2020 - Sassy Resources Corporation (“Sassy” or the “Company”) (CSE: SASY) (FSE: 4E7) is pleased to announce the listing of its common shares for trading on the Frankfurt Stock Exchange (FSE) and Stuttgart Stock Exchange (SWB) under the symbol “4E7”.
The Frankfurt Stock Exchange is the world’s third largest organized exchange-trading market in terms of turnover and dealings in securities. With over 3,000 international companies listed on the Frankfurt Exchange and investors directly connected to the FSE, the FSE represent 35% of the world’s investment capital.

Sassy expects the Frankfurt and Stuttgart listing will help increase trading liquidity and facilitate investment in the Company by institutional and retail investors across Europe. This listing does not impact the total number of common shares outstanding in the Company.
Mr. Mark Scott, President and CEO of Sassy, commented: “We are pleased to have Sassy listed on the FSE and SWB in addition to the CSE. This will expand Sassy’s appeal and accessibility to a larger, more global community of potential institutional and retail investors. This will expand our shareholder base and increase Sassy’s already strong liquidity.”
