Transformation of Genius Metals to Morocco Strategic Minerals Corporation
In a significant move marking a new chapter, Genius Metals Inc. has transformed itself into Morocco Strategic Minerals Corporation. This change reflects a strategic commitment to enhancing operations in Morocco, a country known for its rich mineral resources. The decision was made during a recent shareholder meeting, where overwhelming support from shareholders led to the name change approval.
Shareholder Approval and Trading Symbol Update
During the annual meeting held on January 16, shareholders of Genius Metals voted overwhelmingly, with over 99% favoring the proposed name change.
