Global Li-Ion Graphite Corp. plans to change its name to LION Critical Minerals Corp., subject to regulatory approval, to better reflect its strategic evolution into a provider of secure critical minerals for advanced energy, electrification and national security infrastructure. The rebranding, which leaves the LION ticker and share capital unchanged, is intended to align with a broadened mandate, signal its ambitions in resilient supply-chain development, and support efforts to build a scalable platform to meet rising global demand while enhancing shareholder value. The company says the move comes amid a rapidly shifting global critical-minerals landscape, where governments and industry are prioritizing secure and diversified access to strategic materials such as graphite. Management views the name change as a defining step that underscores a pipeline of commercial opportunities and its intent to strengthen its position in mission-critical supply chains tied to the energy transition. Global Li-Ion will announce the effective date of the new name once confirmed and approved by the Canadian Securities Exchange. Until then, trading in the company’s common shares will continue under the existing LION symbol, signalling continuity for investors as the company advances its graphite-focused growth strategy in Madagascar and beyond. The most recent analyst rating on (TSE:LION) stock is a Hold with a C$0.04 price target.

Technicals provide a partial offset as the stock is trading well above key moving averages with positive MACD, though RSI indicates it is extended.
