FPX Nickel Announces Upgrade to OTCQX

FPX Nickel Corp. has successfully qualified for an upgrade from the OTCQB Venture Market to the OTCQX Best Market, with trading commencing January 5, 2026 under the ticker symbol FPOCF. The company maintains its primary listing on the TSX Venture Exchange under the symbol FPX.

The upgrade to OTCQX represents a significant milestone for FPX Nickel, as the OTCQX Best Market is the top tier of the OTC Markets and requires companies to meet higher financial standards, comply with U.S. securities laws, and be sponsored by a professional third-party advisor. This enhanced market tier typically provides improved liquidity, greater institutional investor access, and enhanced credibility among U.S. investors.

For FPX Nickel, a company focused on nickel exploration and development, this upgrade comes at a strategically important time when nickel demand is being driven by the global transition to electric vehicles and clean energy infrastructure. The improved market access could facilitate better capital raising capabilities and broader investor reach as the company advances its nickel projects.

The timing of this announcement at the beginning of 2026 positions FPX well for the year ahead, potentially providing enhanced access to U.S. capital markets during what is expected to be a critical period for battery metals companies. This corporate development reflects the company's continued progress in building institutional credibility and market presence in the North American investment landscape.
