NiobiumX Mining (NIOXF) has appointed professional geologist Erik Sehn, P.Geo., to its Board of Directors, effective September 17, 2026. On the same date, independent director Dr. Terrance G. Owen resigned from the Board.
Mr. Sehn has nearly ten years of mineral exploration and project management experience in Canada. He serves as Vice President, Exploration at F4 Uranium and previously held senior technical and management roles at F3 Uranium, contributing to the JR Zone and Tetra Zone discoveries at the Patterson Lake North project and earlier work on the Triple R deposit in the Athabasca Basin.
NiobiumX’s principal asset is the Shipshaw Property in Quebec, comprising 48 mineral claims over about 2,686 hectares near the producing Niobec mine. A current technical report recommends a two‑phase program of historical core relocation and re‑assay plus magnetic modelling, followed by drill testing, and Mr. Sehn will advise the Board on the design and execution of this work. The Shipshaw Property does not host a mineral resource or mineral reserve estimate.
NiobiumX Mining (CSE:NIOX, OTCQB:NIOXF, FSE:O7D0) confirmed that its common shares now trade under updated ticker symbols on all three of its markets, completing its transition to the NiobiumX Mining name. The company’s shares trade on the Canadian Securities Exchange as NIOX (effective July 17, 2026), on the OTCQB Venture Market as NIOXF (formerly AFXLF), and on the Frankfurt Stock Exchange as O7D0 (formerly O5K). The unified symbols are intended to align the company’s market identity with its focus on the Shipshaw Property, a 48‑claim, approximately 2,686‑hectare niobium and rare earth element exploration property in Quebec’s Saguenay region. According to NiobiumX, Shipshaw does not currently host a mineral resource or reserve estimate, and further exploration plans will be outlined in future updates.
NiobiumX Mining (CSE:NIOX, OTCQB:AFXLF, FSE:O5K) began trading on the Canadian Securities Exchange under its new name and symbol “NIOX” on July 17, 2026, completing its strategic shift from lithium exploration in James Bay to niobium and rare earth element exploration in Quebec’s Saguenay region.
The company’s focus is now the Shipshaw Property, a 48-claim, ~2,686-hectare niobium-REE package in the Saint-Honore carbonatite district, located less than two kilometres from the producing Niobec mine, North America’s only operating niobium producer. Shipshaw is one of only five niobium-REE carbonatite systems characterized by Geologie Quebec along the Waswanipi-Saguenay corridor and currently has no mineral resource or reserve estimate.
NiobiumX entered six-month digital marketing agreements with Altura Media (one-time fee CAD $250,000 plus GST, from July 24, 2026) and Connect 4 Marketing (marketing budget CAD $75,000 plus GST, from July 28, 2026), both subject to CSE approval. The company also granted 955,000 restricted share units to consultants, each RSU convertible into one common share upon vesting, contingent on time and business milestones under its equity incentive plan.
Arctic Fox (OTCQB:AFXLF) plans to change its name from Arctic Fox Lithium Corp. to NiobiumX Mining to reflect a broader mineral property portfolio. According to Arctic Fox, its Canadian Securities Exchange ticker will change to NIOX, with trading under the new name and symbol beginning at market open on July 17, 2026. The company’s common shares will receive new identification codes: CUSIP 653946103 and ISIN CA6539461039.
Arctic Fox Lithium (OTCQB:AFXLF) announced that its common shares have been approved for trading on the OTCQB Venture Market in the United States under symbol AFXLF, effective July 14, 2026. The shares remain listed on the Canadian Securities Exchange as AFX and Frankfurt as O5K.
The company also reported that its shares are now DTC eligible, enabling electronic clearing and settlement through U.S. broker-dealers, which eliminates physical certificates and reduces settlement times. According to Arctic Fox, OTCQB quotation and DTC eligibility together are expected to broaden access for U.S. institutional and retail investors.
