EuroPacific Metals Inc. Announces Name Change to Ibero Mining Corp., New Symbol “IMC“ to Commence Friday, Sept. 13th

EuroPacific Rebrands to Highlight its Focus on the Iberian Peninsula

VANCOUVER, Sept. 10, 2024 - Europacific Metals Inc. (TSXV:EUP) (OTCQB:AUCCF) (the "Company" or "EuroPacific") announces that pursuant to a directors' resolutions of the Company dated June 14, 2024, it has approved a name change from EuroPacific Metals Inc. to "Ibero Mining Corp."

Karim Rayani Chair & Chief Executive Officer commented: "I am pleased with the progress our team has made in such a short period of time. The name change from EuroPacific to Ibero Mining Corp. better aligns with the Company's strategy of tapping into mineral resources in Europe and along the Iberian Peninsula. Contributing to the EU's resource initiatives focused on investment in exploration and development projects particularly in the geologically rich areas like the Iberian Pyrite Belt."

The rebranding highlights the Company's immediate shift and focus on the Iberian Pyrite Belt which is one of the most mineral-rich regions in the world, extending through southern Portugal and Spain. It is renowned for its vast deposits of polymetallic sulfides, particularly copper, zinc, lead, and gold, and has been a significant mining area for centuries. The region is known for its volcanogenic massive sulfide (VMS) deposits, making it a prime location to focus, particularly where there has been a long history of mining where we can quickly identify resources, with the aim of advancing them utilizing low cost-efficient extraction methods setting up long term cash flow opportunities.
