Tyler Resources Inc. Achieves Tier 1 Status on TSX Venture Exchange

Tyler Resources Inc. is pleased to announce that effective today, January 8^th, it has met all the requirements and graduated to Tier 1 status on the TSX Venture Exchange.  This increased status should allow more flexibility for Tyler to raise its profile within the investment community, as well as ease Exchange procedures and facilitate further transaction approvals.

The advancement of Tyler to TSX Venture Tier 1 is another corporate step reflecting the growth of the Company’s key Bahuerachi asset, and its focus on expanding its current market as it takes the Bahuerachi Deposit through its initial scoping study.  In the field, continued exploration will aim to both grow the main deposit itself as well as identify new areas of interest on its Bahuerachi Project, Chihuahua, Mexico.

Tyler Resources will be attending the Cambridge House Investment show in Vancouver, January 21-22, and can be found in the exhibitor’s hall at booth #1309.

A new Bahuerachi project update page can also be found on the Company’s website at www.tylerresources.com/projects_mexico.php.
