What’s changing (and what isn’t) – Name and ticker: Exploits Discovery Corp. → Epic Gold Corp; ticker becomes EPG at market open on February 18. – Identifiers: CUSIP 29391A103 and ISIN CA29391A030 will replace the prior security identifiers. – Website and email: the company will launch www.epicgoldcorp.com and automatically redirect legacy URLs; investor relations can be reached at investors@epicgoldcorp.com. – No change to share capital or corporate structure. Electronic clearing and settlement eligibility will continue without interruption, so brokers, custodians and registries should see minimal administrative disruption.
Why the rebrand Management frames this as a strategic refocus rather than a corporate transaction. The new name is intended to reflect a more concentrated exploration program across the company’s Canadian portfolio, clarifying the investment story for the market and potential partners.
Operational plan and catalysts – Geographic focus: Québec and Ontario will be the primary exploration theatres, targeting four project areas. – Approach: a staged, disciplined exploration program emphasizing systematic fieldwork, targeted drilling and staged resource definition with the goal of moving targets to drill-ready status. – Funding: the company cites roughly $15 million in cash and equivalents to support planned exploration, permitting and technical work without immediate dilution. – Near-term catalysts: initial campaign results, permitting progress and early operational updates could prompt market interest; analysts and counterparties will be watching the first rounds of field work and permitting milestones.
Practical notes for investors and service providers – Trading systems: update tickers and security identifiers ahead of the February 18 open to avoid execution or settlement confusion. – Administrative continuity: settlement procedures and share-class definitions remain unchanged, and electronic clearing eligibility persists. – Communications: expect ongoing corporate updates as budgets are finalized and contractor agreements are executed; exploration timing will depend on permits and seasonal access.
Leadership Epic Gold is led by president and CEO Rod Husband, who will steer the exploration strategy and public outreach under the new brand. Trading under EPG will be the market’s first chance to see the new name and identifiers in action when markets open on February 18.
