Durango Resources Inc. announced it will transition to Quantum Critical Metals Corp., highlighting the company's strategic emphasis on critical mineral exploration and development. Effective March 17, 2025, the company will trade under the new name and ticker symbol 'LEAP' on the TSX Venture Exchange. This rebranding reflects the growing importance of critical metals in modern technologies, including renewable energy systems, defense applications, and advanced electronics.
The strategic importance of critical minerals has been recognized by both the United States and Canada, with the U.S. Geological Survey's 2022 list including 50 critical minerals and Canada designating 34 minerals as critical in 2024. Recent geopolitical tensions have underscored the significance of diversifying critical mineral supply chains, particularly given China's dominant position in the production and processing of several critical minerals. Recent export restrictions from China have heightened concerns about global mineral supply stability, making domestic exploration and development increasingly vital for economic and national security.
Durango holds a 100% interest in multiple strategic properties, including the NMX East Gallium & Critical Metals Project near the Whabouchi lithium deposit in Québec, as well as claims in the Babine Copper-Gold Porphyry District and Troilus Gold Camp. The company's experienced management team is committed to unlocking new mineral discoveries and supporting Canada's critical minerals strategy. This strategic rebranding comes at a critical time when global industries are increasingly dependent on secure and sustainable sources of essential minerals.
Shareholders should note that the name change will not affect existing share certificates, and no action is required on their part. The company's new CUSIP number will be 74766V100, with a new ISIN of CA74766V1004. By focusing on critical metals, Quantum Critical Metals Corp. positions itself at the forefront of addressing global mineral supply challenges and supporting technological innovation across multiple sectors.
