CALGARY, Jan. 12, 2017 /CNW/ -Yellowhead Mining Inc. ("Yellowhead" or the "Company") (TSX: YMI) reports that the Toronto Stock Exchange ("TSX") has decided to delist the common shares of the Company from trading on the TSX, effective as of February 10, 2017, as a result of the Company not meeting the continued listing requirement of incurring a minimum of $350,000 in expenditures on its mineral projects during the past year.

At the present time, the Board of Directors of the Company intends to continue to keep the Harper Creek project ("Harper Creek") on care and maintenance for the foreseeable future, including through the balance of 2017, until such time as more favorable commodity and capital markets exist that would permit the development of Harper Creek to continue.
