First Class Metals PLC (LSE: FCM, OTC: FCMXF) (“FCM” or the “Company”), the Ontario-focused gold and critical metals exploration company, is pleased to announce that trading in the Company’s ordinary shares on the OTCID Basic Market (“OTCID”) will commence at 14:30 BST today, 7 October 2026, under the ticker OTC:FCMXF
The OTCID quotation will broaden access to the Company’s shares for US investors and enhance FCM’s visibility and liquidity in a market with a strong understanding of mineral exploration.
James Knowles, Executive Chairman of First Class Metals, commented:
“Opening trading on the OTC Markets is an important milestone for First Class Metals. US investors now have a more accessible route to participate in our story, and we see a significant opportunity to build our following in a market that understands gold exploration and the potential of Ontario’s established mining districts.
Our ambition is to broaden our shareholder base and bring greater visibility to the value we are working to unlock across our portfolio. I believe FCM offers a compelling exploration proposition, and today’s quotation gives us a stronger platform to present that opportunity to US investors. Sunbeam is a key part of that story. Our technical team is working to a clear geological model that guides exploration priorities and the testing of targets. That disciplined approach underpins my strong conviction in the project’s potential and gives us a clear technical focus as we advance our work.
We are ambitious about what comes next. With broader investor access and a clear focus on advancing our assets, our objective is to deliver exploration success and create substantial long-term value for shareholders.”
