Yerington, Nevada--(Newsfile Corp. - September 14, 2026) - Lion Copper Corp. (CSE: LCU) (OTCQB: LCGMD) (the "Company" or "Lion") is pleased to announce that, effective today, the Company has completed its previously announced name change from Lion Copper and Gold Corp. to Lion Copper Corp. and the consolidation of its issued and outstanding common shares on the basis of twenty-seven (27) pre-consolidation common shares for one (1) post-consolidation common share.
Effective at market open today, September 14, 2026, the Company's common shares commenced trading on the Canadian Securities Exchange ("CSE") on a post-consolidation basis under the Company's new name, Lion Copper Corp., and new trading symbol "LCU."
In connection with the name change and share consolidation, the Company's OTCQB trading symbol has also changed from "LCGMF" to "LCGMD."
The Company's new CUSIP number is 53621C101 and its new ISIN number is CA53621C1014.
Following completion of the consolidation, the Company has approximately 15,975,396 common shares issued and outstanding, subject to final rounding adjustments. The exercise or conversion price and the number of common shares issuable under the Company's outstanding convertible securities have been proportionately adjusted to reflect the consolidation.
The name change to Lion Copper Corp. reflects the Company's focus on advancing its copper assets, including its flagship Yerington Copper Project in Nevada.
The share consolidation was undertaken in connection with the Company's application to list its common shares on the Nasdaq Capital Market and is intended to assist the Company in satisfying Nasdaq's initial listing requirements, including the applicable minimum bid price requirement. The Company's Nasdaq listing application remains subject to Nasdaq review and satisfaction of all applicable listing requirements. There can be no assurance that the Company's listing application will be approved or that the Company will satisfy the required listing conditions in a timely manner, or at all.
John Banning, Chief Executive Officer of Lion Copper Corp., commented:
"The completion of our name change and share consolidation represents another step in Lion's evolution as we continue advancing the Yerington Copper Project and our broader copper district in Nevada. The Lion Copper name better reflects the Company we have become and our focus on developing a significant source of domestic U.S. copper.
The consolidation also represents an important step in our planned Nasdaq listing process. We believe a Nasdaq listing would provide Lion with greater visibility in the U.S. capital markets, broaden our potential institutional shareholder base and improve access to long-term sources of capital as we continue advancing Yerington through Definitive Feasibility Study and permitting."
