Getty Copper Adds Second Drill Rig and Applies to List on the OTCQX Market

By

Getty Copper (GTC.V) on Wednesday said it added a second drill rig to its ongoing spring drilling program at the Getty Project in British Columbia and began the application process to list its shares on the OTCQX Best Market.

The two drill rigs are now in operation on site, as the company "aggressively moves forward" with its drilling program, focused initially at Getty North, said the company and added that over 3,000 meters of drilling have been completed to date.

The program is part of Getty's two-pronged resource and exploration-focused strategy in the district, with the primary goal of expanding and confirming the resource potential at both the Getty North and Getty South deposits, said the company.

The listing of the company's shares on the OTCQX remains subject to the approval of the OTC Markets Group and the satisfaction of applicable listing requirements, stated the company and added that it will continue to trade on the TSX Venture Exchange as its primary listing.

"As we ramp up 2026 drilling activities, increasing our accessibility to U.S. investors is a high priority," said Chief Executive Officer Ryan O'Regan. "The OTCQX is a recognized market that requires companies to be current in their reporting and undergo an annual verification process, which we believe will provide our stakeholders with greater confidence and improved liquidity."

The company's shares were last seen up $0.005 to $0.18 on the TSX Venture Exchange.

CIBC Raises Exchange Income's Price Target to C$123.00 From C$120.00

CIBC Capital Markets maintained its outperformer rating on the shares of Exchange Income (EIF.TO) and raised its price target to C$123.00 from C$120.00 after the company reported its first-quarter results on May 11.EIF entered 2026 with "solid operating momentum, delivering results ahead of expectations and reinforcing confidence in the durability of its diversified model," said CIBC.Management maintained its formal EBITDA guidance range of $825MM-$875MM but now expects performance to track toward the upper end, supported by strength in Aerospace & Aviation and improving trends in Manufacturing, noted CIBC and added that while the guidance range was not raised, management was explicit that this reflects a cautious stance in the context of ongoing geopolitical uncertainty, particularly around fuel markets.CIBC noted that, operationally, the business is seeing "encouraging demand signals" in the north, with passenger traffic into Nunavut growing faster than typical population trends."Management attributes this to increasing government and infrastructure-related activity in the region," said CIBC. "While still early, commentary suggests this may represent the beginning of a multi-year build-out tied to sovereignty, defence, and resource investment in Northern Canada."Beyond core airline operations, Canadian North also provides "incremental strategic value" through its Boeing 737 exposure, said CIBC and added that this expands Regional One's data set and supports EIF's "stated ambition" to grow its presence in narrowbody aftermarket parts and leasing through the Mach2 platform.Tariff exposure "remains manageable" at the consolidated level, said CIBC and further added that the impact is largely confined to the Multi-Storey Window Solutions business, where recent changes to tariff calculation methodology have increased costs on cross-border shipments."In response, EIF is adjusting production flows, aligning U.S. production with U.S. demand and vice versa, which mitigates part of the impact," added CIBC. "Other Manufacturing businesses are largely insulated given their domestic focus and USMCA compliance."Price: $106.60, Change: $+2.24, Percent Change: +2.15%
