Enhanced Access for U.S. Investors Through Electronic Clearing and Settlement
VANCOUVER, BRITISH COLUMBIA – Arctic Fox Lithium Corp. (CSE: AFX / FSE: O5K / OTCQB: AFXLF) (“Arctic Fox” or the “Company”) is pleased to announce that its common shares have been approved for trading on the OTCQB Venture Market in the United States under the symbol AFXLF, effective July 14, 2026. The Company is further pleased to announce that its common shares are now eligible for electronic clearing and settlement through the Depository Trust Company (DTC) in the United States.
The OTCQB Venture Market provides U.S. investors with improved access to information and a transparent trading platform for companies committed to providing quality disclosure and meeting ongoing financial standards. Companies traded on the OTCQB must meet minimum bid price and financial reporting requirements and undergo an annual verification and management certification process. The OTCQB is recognized by the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission as an established public market for purposes of Rule 144.
The Company’s shares will continue to trade on the Canadian Securities Exchange (CSE) under the symbol AFX and on the Frankfurt Stock Exchange (FSE) under the symbol O5K.
DTC eligibility simplifies the trading and settlement of the Company’s shares for U.S. investors by allowing shares to be cleared electronically through U.S. broker-dealers. This eliminates the need for physical share certificates and reduces settlement times. The Company expects this to broaden access to its shares for both institutional and retail investors in the United States.
“The OTCQB quotation and DTC eligibility together remove the two main barriers for U.S. investors looking to participate in our story,” said Kirby Renton, President and CEO of Arctic Fox. “As we advance exploration at our Shipshaw Property in the Saguenay region of Québec, these steps give American investors direct, efficient access to our shares.”
The Depository Trust Company (DTC) is a subsidiary of the Depository Trust & Clearing Corporation (DTCC) and provides clearing, settlement and information services for equities and other securities traded in the United States.
Arctic Fox Lithium Corp. is a junior mineral exploration company advancing its Shipshaw Property in the Saguenay region of Québec, within the Grenville Geological Province. The property is located along the same regional geological corridor as the producing Niobec Mine, an underground niobium operation that has been in commercial production since 1976. Its proximity to the Niobec Mine, combined with a comparable geological setting, highlights its potential for niobium and associated rare earth element mineralization.
The Company also owns the 2,756-hectare Pontax North Lithium Project in the James Bay region of northern Québec.
