The Canadian junior explorer Earthwise Minerals announced that its common shares will begin trading on the OTCQB Venture Market in the United States under the ticker EWISF on March 13th, 2026. This move complements the Company’s existing listings on the Canadian Securities Exchange (CSE) under WISE and the Frankfurt Stock Exchange (FSE) under 966. The decision is designed to make the shares more accessible to U.S. investors while preserving the Company’s Canadian and European market footprints. The announcement highlights the Company’s intention to increase visibility and liquidity for its investor base as it advances its exploration activities.
The OTCQB is operated by OTC Markets Group and is recognized for providing a platform tailored to emerging and growth-stage companies. To qualify for the OTCQB Venture Market, issuers must remain current in their financial reporting and complete an annual management certification and verification process. These requirements aim to improve transparency and investor confidence by ensuring regular disclosure and compliance. Earthwise has indicated that investors can find real-time quotes and market data using the symbol EWISF on otcmarkets.com, providing a direct channel for U.S. market participants to follow the Company’s progress.

What the OTCQB listing aims to deliver
Earthwise’s move is intended to broaden access for U.S. investors and to support market awareness of its exploration program. The Company’s leadership believes the dual-market presence — continued trading on the CSE and FSE alongside the new OTCQB listing — will help attract a wider pool of liquidity and institutional interest. For investors, the listing on a U.S. quotation platform may reduce barriers related to foreign exchange and broker access. Management framed the listing as part of a broader outreach strategy to increase the profile of Earthwise as it advances key projects, particularly the Iron Range Gold Project in southeastern British Columbia.
Details on the Iron Range Gold Project
The Iron Range Gold Project sits near Creston, British Columbia, and is accessible by road. Earthwise holds an option to earn up to an 80% interest in the fully permitted property, which spans approximately 10 km by 32 km along the Iron Range Fault System. The district-scale tenure hosts multiple high-grade gold showings and significant geophysical and geochemical anomalies, characteristics that the Company intends to explore further. By linking the project narrative to increased market access, Earthwise is signaling its intention to engage U.S. capital for ongoing exploration and potential development work.
Company positioning and next steps
Earthwise will continue to publish regulatory filings and operational updates through Canadian disclosure channels while providing additional market information via OTC Markets. The Company emphasized that the OTCQB listing is complementary rather than replacing existing listings. Management commentary from CEO Mark Luchinski underscored the goal of making Earthwise more discoverable to American investors and of supporting broader participation as exploration programs progress. Investors seeking detailed project data and corporate disclosure are directed to the Company website at www.earthwiseminerals.com and to SEDAR+ filings for full regulatory documents.
Investor access and transparency
Listing on the OTCQB requires firms to satisfy public reporting and disclosure obligations intended to help investors make informed decisions. The platform’s emphasis on transparency aligns with Earthwise’s stated objective to provide timely updates on exploration and corporate developments. For the U.S. investing community, the OTCQB designation offers a convenient way to view quotes, trade shares through U.S. brokerages, and monitor news releases. This should strengthen the flow of information between the Company and potential shareholders across jurisdictions.
