VANCOUVER, BRITISH COLUMBIA--(Marketwired - Oct 17, 2013) - Magna Resources Ltd. (CNSX:MNA)(OTCQX:MGRZF) ("Magna" or the "Company") announces that the Depository Trust Corporation ("DTC") has approved the Company's securities trading on the OTCQX? International, the U.S. Over-the-Counter ("OTC") market's highest tier, for DWAC/FAST eligibility through the Company's transfer agent, Computershare Trust Company.

DWAC/FAST (Deposit-Withdrawal at Custodian / FAST Automated Securities Transfer Program) eligibility through DTC enables US shareholders, trading in the Company's common shares on the OTCQX? International, to transfer their stock electronically after buying or selling on the open market without the extra expense and delay made necessary by the physical transfer of share certificates.

US shareholder benefits of a DWAC/FAST approved company include reduced time from weeks to hours for stock deposits and withdrawals into brokerage accounts while removing the risk associated with the loss and replacement of stock certificates, savings on courier charges for shipping of physical stock certificates and eliminating additional brokerage fees associated with processing physical certificates. In addition to the improved security and cost savings, the instantaneous and seamless transfer of shares facilitates the ease of transactions promoting new entrants and higher volumes traded in a company's stock.

"Achieving DTC DWAC/FAST eligibility provides US investors ready access to trade Magna shares in the US capital market and reassurance of a robust trading platform," stated Mike Sieb, President, Magna Resources Ltd. "This expansion of open trading in the US market will naturally create reciprocal benefits to the Company's trading in the Canadian market and ultimately assist in the growth and vitality of the firm."
