Hi-View Taps U.S. Market to Fund Toodoggone Gold and Copper Hunt

VANCOUVER, BC – April 30, 2026 – Hi-View Resources Inc., a Canadian mineral exploration company, has officially commenced trading on America’s OTCQB Venture Market, a strategic move designed to unlock U.S. capital for its extensive portfolio of gold, silver, and copper assets in northern British Columbia. The company's shares are now available to U.S. investors under the ticker symbol “GXLDF.”

The listing represents a significant step for the Vancouver-based junior miner, providing a direct channel to the world's largest investment market. Hi-View aims to leverage this enhanced visibility to fund its ambitious exploration programs in the highly prospective Toodoggone region. The company's shares will continue to trade on the Canadian Securities Exchange (CSE) under the symbol "GXLD."

R. Nick Horsley, Chief Executive Officer of Hi-View Resources, highlighted the strategic rationale behind the move. “I am excited to have Hi-View listed in the United States,” he commented. “After participating in several conferences, it became clear that we should share our Toodoggone portfolio with the American investment audience.”

A Strategic Gateway to American Capital

Listing on the OTCQB is more than a procedural step; it is a calculated effort to increase liquidity and attract a broader base of institutional and retail investors. The OTCQB Venture Market, operated by OTC Markets Group, is specifically designed for developing companies that meet stringent financial reporting and corporate governance standards, offering a higher level of transparency than the less-regulated Pink market. For international firms like Hi-View, it serves as a credible platform to build a U.S. shareholder base without the more onerous requirements of a full national exchange listing.

A critical component of this expansion is Hi-View's confirmation of eligibility with The Depository Trust Company (DTC). DTC eligibility is essential for modern trading, as it allows for the electronic clearing and settlement of shares. This eliminates the need for physical stock certificates and enables faster, more efficient, and lower-cost transactions through U.S. brokerage platforms. For many American brokers and investors, DTC eligibility is a prerequisite for trading a foreign security, making it a crucial factor in improving trading accessibility.

This move comes as Hi-View positions itself for significant exploration expenditure. Like many junior exploration companies, it operates without revenue and has recently undertaken measures, including a share consolidation in 2025 and several private placements, to strengthen its financial position. The OTCQB listing is the next logical step in this capital strategy, intended to support the company’s efforts to build a broader international shareholder base just as the new exploration season gets underway.

Fueling the Hunt in BC's Prolific Toodoggone District

The capital Hi-View seeks to raise is earmarked for one of Canada’s most exciting and re-emerging mineral belts. The Toodoggone region of northern British Columbia, part of the famed Stikine Terrane, is a geological treasure trove known for hosting both high-grade epithermal gold-silver deposits near the surface and massive porphyry copper-gold systems at depth.

The district is currently experiencing a modern exploration renaissance, with an estimated $50 million in exploration expenditures in 2025 alone. Hi-View is operating alongside a number of prominent players, which underscores the region’s potential. These include Centerra Gold, which operates the established Kemess gold-copper mine, and Thesis Gold, which is advancing its Lawyers-Ranch project toward development. Other active explorers like Sun Summit Minerals and TDG Gold have also recently announced significant discoveries, further validating the district's mineral wealth.

Hi-View's land package in the region is substantial, covering over 27,910 hectares. The company's portfolio is anchored by its flagship Golden Stranger Project, where recent surveys have identified high-priority drill targets for epithermal and copper-gold-silver mineralization.

Furthermore, the company has strategically expanded its footprint with the acquisition of the Borealis Project. This 9,100-hectare property is located adjacent to Centerra Gold’s Kemess Complex, a major regional producer. Historical data from the Borealis property is highly encouraging, with past sampling in the Cas area yielding results as high as 2.3% copper, 695 parts per billion gold, and 106 grams per tonne silver, suggesting the potential for a large-scale porphyry system. The company’s portfolio is rounded out by the Lawyers claims and other properties, all situated in this resource-rich corridor supported by key infrastructure like the Omineca Resource Road and an existing power grid.

Tapping a Resurgent U.S. Appetite for Mining

Hi-View's entry into the U.S. market is timed to coincide with a resurgence of investor interest in the North American mining sector, particularly for companies focused on gold and copper. After several challenging years, capital is flowing back into the industry, driven by strong commodity prices and a growing strategic urgency to secure domestic supply chains for critical minerals.

Gold continues to attract investment as a traditional safe-haven asset amid global economic uncertainty. Meanwhile, copper has become a lynchpin of the green energy transition. Its essential role in electric vehicles, renewable energy infrastructure, and grid modernization has created a long-term demand forecast that significantly outstrips current supply projections. This dynamic has made copper exploration one of the hottest segments of the market.

For U.S. investors, the dual-listing trend among Canadian junior miners provides a regulated and accessible pathway to participate in this upside. Canadian exchanges are globally recognized for their expertise in resource financing, but an OTCQB listing removes cross-border friction and opens the door to a much larger pool of capital. While investment has recently favored later-stage, de-risked assets, the powerful narrative behind gold and copper is also renewing interest in high-potential exploration-stage companies.

By listing on the OTCQB, Hi-View is positioning its Toodoggone assets directly in front of this receptive American audience. The move is a clear signal that the company is ready to accelerate its exploration work and translate the geological promise of its projects into tangible results for a new and expanded shareholder base. The timing, just ahead of the summer exploration season, suggests that any new capital raised could be deployed in the field in short order, making the coming months a potentially pivotal period for the company.
