Merida Minerals Holdings (ESPN) has changed its name to “Hispania Resources Inc.”

When the market opens on December 14, 2022, the common shares of the corporation will commence trading under the new name on the TSX Venture Exchange under its current trading symbol, “ESPN.”

This name change does not involve any consolidation or change in the share capital of the company.

Merida is changing its name as it plans to acquire additional mining property in various regions of Spain.

Given these plans for expansion, the corporation felt that the current name, “Merida,” being a reference to the specific region in Spain where the corporation’s current mining property is located, is no longer appropriate.

Common share certificates bearing the previous company name, “Merida Minerals Holdings Inc.” continue to be valid in the settlement of trades and will only be replaced with certificates bearing the new name upon transfer.

The company is not requesting, and shareholders are not required to, exchange their existing share certificates for new certificates bearing the new company name.

Merida has also announced that all of the management nominees listed in the corporation’s management information circular were elected as directors of the corporation at the annual general, and special meeting of shareholders held on November 14, 2022.

Miguel Cabal voluntarily stepped down as a director and did not stand for re-election.

Merida Minerals Inc. is a mineral-exploration company focused on mining opportunities in Spain.

Merida Minerals Holdings Inc. opened trading at $0.135 per share.
