Legal Entity Identifier

Far Resources has been granted a Legal Entity Identifier ("LEI"). The Company's LEI code is 254900WZMB2G5CQ0LA13.

The LEI is a 20-character code used to identify entities that enter into financial transactions. LEIs, like other identifiers, allow issuers to fulfil their reporting obligations and are also key for matching and aggregating market data, both for transparency and regulatory purposes.  The objective is to create a global reference data system that uniquely identifies every legal entity or structure, in any jurisdiction, that is party to a financial transaction. Endorsed by the Group of Twenty Finance Ministers and Central Bank Governors (G20), the establishment of a Global LEI System is critical to improving measurement and monitoring of systemic risk.
