Company Description
BrightRock Gold Corp. (BRGC) historically represented a resource exploration company whose corporate identity has transitioned to North America Lithium and Gold Corporation with the new ticker symbol NALG. According to a corporate announcement, the Financial Industry Regulatory Authority (FINRA) approved the change of name from BrightRock Gold Corp. to North America Lithium and Gold Corporation and the corresponding ticker and CUSIP update, with trading under the new symbol NALG beginning on January 12, 2026. The BRGC symbol therefore primarily reflects the company’s earlier corporate phase and is now best understood in the context of this transformation.
Under the BrightRock Gold Corp. name, the company described itself as a lithium exploration company focused on developing its flagship project, the “Revival of the Midnight Owl Mine”. Historical records cited in company materials refer to this asset as the “Lithium King Mine.” The Midnight Owl project is located in Arizona, with descriptions noting that it lies approximately 13 miles east of Wickenburg and about 60 miles from Phoenix. BrightRock stated that it holds 100% ownership and interest in the Midnight Owl Mine, together with an adjoining land package of roughly 5,040 acres, or 244 lode claims.
The Midnight Owl project has been characterized by the company as a lithium pegmatite project. Company communications highlight that the property is situated within roughly 170 miles of several large gigafactories described as billion‑dollar facilities under construction, which the company presents as a logistical and commercial advantage for potential lithium production. BrightRock’s stated objective has been to develop a portfolio of lithium‑rich assets with the goal of becoming a supplier of lithium‑based products. In later communications, the company also emphasized the presence and potential of gold within the same project area, describing the opportunity for both lithium and gold exploration.
Corporate transformation to North America Lithium and Gold Corporation
A subsequent press release explains that BrightRock Gold Corp. completed a corporate name change to North America Lithium and Gold Corporation and that FINRA approved the associated ticker change to NALG. The company describes this transition as a strategic realignment toward lithium and gold exploration in the United States. The rebranding is presented as aligning the corporate identity with management’s long‑term vision of building a U.S.‑based critical minerals platform, with a continued focus on the Midnight Owl Lithium‑Gold Project in Arizona.
In that same description, North America Lithium and Gold Corporation is described as a U.S.-based lithium and gold exploration company focused on developing the Revival of the Midnight Owl Mine. The company reiterates that it holds 100% ownership of the Midnight Owl Mine and the adjoining 5,040 acres (244 lode claims). It also notes that the project is a lithium pegmatite asset positioned within approximately 170 miles of three gigafactories under construction, and that it is advancing a portfolio of lithium‑rich assets with the objective of becoming a significant domestic supplier of lithium‑based products.
Exploration focus at the Midnight Owl Project
Company updates under the BrightRock Gold Corp. name describe a series of exploration and technical programs at the Midnight Owl project. A Phase 1 exploration report prepared by an in‑house exploration geologist details mapping and sampling of pegmatites within the claim area. The report highlights that samples collected from the pegmatites showed mineralogical composition typical of lithium‑bearing pegmatites, and that analysis of certain geochemical ratios suggested potential for lithium mineralization, particularly in the northeast regions of the mapped area. The report notes that approximately 101 acres were mapped in the southern portion of the claim block and that a pegmatite body was interpreted to be about 200 feet thick, dipping toward the northwest.
Further company communications outline plans for additional exploration phases, including a Phase 1b sampling program and subsequent work aimed at building a three‑dimensional geological model of the project area. These efforts are described as focusing on soil sampling and exploration along exposed pegmatite trends, as well as underground sampling in historic workings to evaluate lithium and other metals. The company has also referenced the use of hyperspectral imaging by a specialist firm to map lithium‑rich pegmatites and spodumene‑bearing zones at Midnight Owl, reporting that interpretation of long‑wave infrared data identified extensive spodumene‑grade lithium signatures within the project area.
Dual lithium and gold potential
In addition to lithium, BrightRock Gold Corp. reported exploration results indicating significant gold concentrations in certain field samples collected at the Midnight Owl Project. A field sampling campaign described by the company involved collecting samples across historic underground workings and surface areas. According to the company’s summary, several samples met a stated gold cutoff threshold, and the highest reported assay result indicated notable gold grades. The company characterized these findings as evidence of dual‑commodity potential at Midnight Owl, with the opportunity to explore both lithium and gold resources within the same project area.
Company commentary around these results notes that, while lithium remained the primary focus, the discovery of meaningful gold concentrations was considered an important development that could enhance the overall potential of the property. Subsequent plans described by the company included expanding exploration activities to better understand the extent of both lithium and gold mineralization and to integrate this information into future geological modeling and drilling programs.
Corporate and reporting developments
BrightRock Gold Corp. has communicated various corporate actions related to its reporting status and regulatory objectives. In one update, the company stated that it engaged a PCAOB‑registered independent audit firm to audit financial statements for specific past fiscal years and to address missing financial reports with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission from earlier periods. The company described this as part of a broader effort to transition toward being a fully SEC‑reporting corporation and to support applications to FINRA for the previously mentioned name and symbol change.
Additional corporate updates reference ongoing work on audited financial statements, discussions with potential funding sources, and internal financing support from the company’s leadership and family members. The company has also discussed topics such as potential share reductions or buybacks and the intention to pursue listing on a senior exchange, presenting these as elements of its long‑term corporate plans. These statements are framed as company goals and intentions described in its own communications.
Position within the resource exploration sector
Based on its own descriptions, BrightRock Gold Corp., and now North America Lithium and Gold Corporation, operates within the mining and mineral exploration sector, with a focus on lithium pegmatite exploration and associated gold potential. The Midnight Owl project in Arizona is repeatedly identified as the flagship asset and central to the company’s strategy. Company materials emphasize the project’s location relative to major industrial facilities under construction and its characterization as a lithium‑rich pegmatite system, while also noting the presence of gold and other metals in historic and recent sampling.
Investors researching the historical BRGC ticker should be aware that the corporate identity associated with this symbol has changed to North America Lithium and Gold Corporation (NALG). For current corporate information, exploration updates, and strategic direction, the company’s own communications refer to the North America Lithium and Gold Corporation name and NALG ticker as the active identifiers going forward, while BRGC serves as the historical symbol for the earlier BrightRock Gold Corp. phase.
