Lion Copper hires ICP for share market making

Lion Copper & Gold Corp. hired ICP Securities for automated market making on a fixed-fee, arm’s‑length basis to help address share liquidity.

Rhea-AI Filing Summary

LION COPPER & GOLD CORP. (LCGMF) engaged ICP Securities Inc. to provide automated market making services for its shares, using ICP’s proprietary algorithm ICP Premium™, in line with Canadian Securities Exchange policies and applicable legislation.

Under a market making agreement dated September 17, ICP receives a monthly fee of C$7,500 plus taxes. The agreement has a four‑month initial term starting September 17, 2026 and then automatically renews for successive one‑month terms unless either party gives at least 30 days’ written notice before the end of the initial or any renewal term.

The company states there are no performance factors, stock options, or other compensation tied to this engagement. ICP and Lion are arm’s‑length, unrelated and unaffiliated, and ICP and its principals held no direct or indirect interest in Lion’s securities at the time of the agreement, though ICP and its clients may acquire securities in the future subject to CSE policies.

Filing Explained

The service has begun, but the filing does not establish completed ICP share transactions or a resulting change in trading liquidity.

This Form 8-K furnishes the company’s announcement of an automated market-making service that is in its service phase, not a reported share issuance or financing; ICP is responsible for costs from its own market-making purchases and sales, and no third party is providing funds or securities.

The disclosed role is to address temporary supply-and-demand imbalances using ICP’s algorithm.

The release describes possible effects on liquidity and trading as forward-looking information and says actual results may differ; those effects remain unresolved in this filing.

5 terms

automated market making financial

"engaged the services of ICP Securities Inc. to provide automated market making services"

Automated market making is an electronic system that uses pre-set rules to constantly quote prices and buy or sell a security so trades can happen without a human middleman. Think of it like a vending machine that always lists a price and accepts trades: it makes it easier to buy or sell quickly, usually lowers the gap between buying and selling prices, and therefore affects transaction costs and how easily investors can enter or exit positions.

liquidity provision financial

"dealer-member that specializes in automated market making and liquidity provision"

Liquidity provision is the activity of making it easy to buy or sell a security by continuously offering to buy and sell at close, predictable prices — often done by market makers, brokers, trading platforms or financial institutions. It matters to investors because it keeps price swings smaller and trades faster and cheaper; like a well-stocked store that lets shoppers grab what they want without waiting or paying a premium, good liquidity lowers execution risk and transaction costs.

Definitive Feasibility Study financial

"advancing the Yerington Copper Project through Definitive Feasibility Study and permitting"

A definitive feasibility study is a detailed, near-final assessment that shows whether a proposed project—often a mine, infrastructure or major industrial venture—can be built and operated profitably. It combines precise engineering plans, realistic cost estimates, production schedules and risk analysis to give lenders and investors a clear picture of expected returns and potential pitfalls, like a full blueprint and budget that helps decide whether to greenlight financing and construction.

LME Grade A copper cathode technical

"planned to produce refined LME Grade A copper cathode for the domestic U.S. market"

forward-looking information regulatory

"This release contains "forward-looking information" within the meaning of applicable securities laws"

Forward-looking information are predictions, plans, estimates or expectations about a company’s future performance, results or events, such as sales forecasts, project timelines, or anticipated costs. It matters to investors because these statements guide expectations but rely on assumptions and uncertain factors—like a weather forecast for a business—so investors should treat them as informed guesses rather than guarantees and consider the risks and possible changes behind the numbers.
