March 17, 2025 07:10 ET  | Source: Sprott Asset Management TORONTO, March 17, 2025 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Sprott Asset Management LP (“Sprott Asset Management”), a wholly-owned subsidiary of Sprott Inc. (“Sprott”) (NYSE/TSX: SII), on behalf of the Sprott Physical Copper Trust (TSX: COP.UN) (TSX: COP.U) (the “Trust” or “COP”), a closed-ended trust created to invest and hold substantially all of its assets in physical copper metal, today announced that NYSE Arca has filed an application with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”) to list and trade COP’s trust units (the “Units)” on NYSE Arca (the “NYSE Application”) in order to permit a dual-listing of the Units on both the TSX and NYSE Arca. “We believe a U.S. listing of Sprott Physical Copper Trust Units would provide U.S. investors with easier access to the only exchange listed physical copper fund. Copper is a critical material essential to meet growing demand for electricity generation, distribution and storage,” said John Ciampaglia, CEO of Sprott Asset Management. The NYSE Application has not been approved by the SEC. Any listing of the Units on NYSE Arca will be subject to the SEC’s approval of the NYSE Application and the effectiveness of a registration statement under the U.S. Securities Exchange Act of 1934 in respect of the listing. Sprott cannot provide any assurance that it will be successful in achieving a listing of the Units on the NYSE Arca.
