Eureka Lithium (ERKA.CN) on Monday said it plans to change its name to Eureka Metals.
The Canadian Securities Exchange will publish a bulletin announcing the effective date of the change and it is expected the shares will begin trading under its new name on or about May 14.
"The name change reflects the company's strategic evolution beyond lithium exploration and aligns with its recently announced acquisition of Stairway Mining," said the company.
The shares will continue to trade under its existing symbols on the Canadian Securities Exchange (CSE), OTCQB, and Frankfurt Stock Exchange (FSE), said the company and added that the CUSIP and ISIN will change to 298601105 and CA2986011054 respectively.
"The transition to Eureka Metals Corp. reflects the evolution of the company and the broader commodity exposure established through the acquisition of Stairway Mining," said chief executive Danny Matthews. "With the addition of the Tyee Titanium Project and the Cabin Lake Polymetallic Project, combined with a strong treasury following our recent financing, we believe the company is well-positioned to advance multiple exploration initiatives across a diversified portfolio of metals projects in Canada."
The company's shares last traded May 8, closing at $0.43 on the Canadian Securities Exchange.
