Vancouver, British Columbia--(Newsfile Corp. - July 30, 2026) - V Ten Metals Corp. (TSXV: VTEN) ("VTen" or the "Company") is pleased to announce that it has been approved to uplist from the OTC Pink market to the OTCQB Venture Market (OTCQB), operated by OTC Markets Group Inc.

The OTCQB, established in 2010, is the premier U.S. marketplace for early-stage and developing companies. Designed to provide improved visibility and greater access to U.S. investors, the OTCQB is recognized by the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) as an "established public market."

The uplisting is effective as of July 30, 2026, and the Company will continue to trade under the ticker symbol 'VTNMF' in the United States, with its shares also listed on TSX Venture Exchange under ' VTEN'.

VTEN believes this milestone will support increased liquidity, enhance transparency, and attract a broader base of retail and institutional investors in the U.S. capital markets.

The Company also announces that it has submitted an application for Depository Trust Company ("DTC") eligibility for its common shares.  If approved, DTC eligibility will enable the Company's common shares to be electronically cleared and settled through The Depository Trust Company, a subsidiary of the Depository Trust & Clearing Corporation ("DTCC"). DTC eligibility is expected to streamline the settlement process, improve trading efficiencies for brokers and investors, and enhance the accessibility and liquidity of the Company's common shares within the U.S. capital markets. A further announcement will be made if the application is successful. 

Blair Way, CEO, President and Director, comments: "This uplisting marks an important step in our growth strategy. Trading on the OTCQB Venture Market aligns with our commitment to increasing shareholder value, improving market visibility, and maintaining high standards of corporate governance."
