AIM Market receives Application from Allana Potash Corp

The Canadian based potash company announced last week that it has filed an application for admission to the AIM Market of the London Stock Exchange for its Company’s common shares.

This has come hot on the heels of its grant of a large scale mining permit and the start of its ‘pre-construction’ of the Danakhil Potash Project in Ethiopia with Allana seeing the application for AIM listing as the next step in becoming an international potash producer.

“Our proposed listing on AIM re-enforces this fact, as well as our commitment to expand our shareholder profile into the UK, Europe, the Middle East and Africa and allow a broader group of investors access to the Allana growth story,” said Farhad Abasov, President and CEO.
