Huntsman Exploration to Become Lux Metals Corp., Name Change Effective [Date]

09/22/2025 – 07:20 PM

Vancouver, British Columbia – Huntsman Exploration Inc. (TSXV: HMAN), soon to be known as Lux Metals Corp, has officially received the nod from the TSX Venture Exchange to proceed with its corporate name change. This strategic rebranding is poised to take effect on September 25, 2025, marking a new chapter for the company focused on gold and critical mineral projects.

Trading under the new symbol “LXM,” Lux Metals Corp will also be recognized by new CUSIP/ISIN numbers 55067G108/CA55067G1081, effective at the start of trading on the specified date.

This name change reflects a deeper strategic repositioning within Lux Metals Corp. As Huntsman Exploration, the company built a foundation in identifying and developing gold and critical mineral assets. The transition to Lux Metals signals an intensified focus on high-value metals essential for emerging technologies and renewable energy infrastructure. While the company has not explicitly detailed specific new projects, the rebranding suggests a move towards capitalizing on the increasing demand for resources like lithium, cobalt, nickel, and rare earth elements, vital for the electric vehicle market and energy storage solutions.

A Shift in Focus: Critical Minerals and Market Dynamics

The decision to rebrand as Lux Metals Corp aligns with the burgeoning demand for critical minerals driven by the global shift towards electrification and sustainable energy solutions. The electric vehicle market, in particular, is a significant driver, requiring substantial quantities of lithium, cobalt, nickel, and other metals. By strategically aligning its name and potentially its exploration focus, Lux Metals Corp aims to attract investors and partners interested in participating in this rapidly growing sector.

The move also comes at a time when governments worldwide are actively seeking to secure their supply chains for critical minerals. This geopolitical landscape further underscores the strategic importance of companies like Lux Metals Corp, which are positioned to contribute to the secure and sustainable supply of essential resources.
