Consolidated Lithium Metals relocates to Quebec, rebrands as Nordique Critical Metals

Consolidated Lithium Metals Announces Relocation of Headquarters to Québec, Name Change to Nordique Critical Metals Inc., and TSXV Symbol Change to NQC

TORONTO, June 30, 2026 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Consolidated Lithium Metals Inc. (TSXV: CLM | FRA: Z36 | OTCQB: JORFF) (the "Company" or "CLM") is pleased to announce a series of corporate initiatives designed to better align the Company with its strategic focus on the development of critical mineral projects in Québec and across North America.

Effective July 3, 2026, the Company will relocate its corporate headquarters and registered office from Toronto, Ontario to Montréal, Québec.

As part of this transition, also effective July 3, 2026, the Company will change its corporate name from Consolidated Lithium Metals Inc. to Nordique Critical Metals Inc., reflecting the Company's broader focus on critical minerals beyond lithium and its commitment to advancing Québec-based critical mineral assets.

In connection with the name change, the Company's common shares will commence trading on the TSX Venture Exchange (the “TSXV”) under the new trading symbol "NQC", replacing the current symbol "CLM", when markets open on or about July 6, 2026, under the new CUSIP and ISIN numbers 65563W101 and CA65563W1014, respectively.

The effective date of the name and trading symbol changes on the TSXV is anticipated to be July 6, 2026; however, such changes remain subject to final approval of the TSXV.

Management believes these corporate initiatives better position the Company for its next stage of growth and more accurately reflect its strategic direction as a Québec-based critical minerals exploration and development company.
