EZNC Eastern Zinc Corp

Eastern Zinc Corp. ("Eastern Zinc" or the “Company”) (CSE:EZNC | OTC:ETZCF) is pleased to announce that its board of directors has approved a corporate name change to “Major Precious Metals Corp.” and has reserved the new ticker symbol “SIZE”.

The proposed Company name and stock trading symbol changes are subject to approval from the Canadian Securities Exchange (CSE) and receipt of new CUSIP and ISIN numbers. The Company will update the market of the effective date of the name and ticker symbol change once available.

The Company believes that the name and ticker symbol change better reflects the Company’s diversified portfolio of exploration properties. The Company’s objectives continue to be the acquisition, exploration and development of natural resource properties with a focus on zinc, copper, silver, gold and palladium projects. As such, the name "Eastern Zinc Corp." does not adequately reflect the Company’s portfolio of assets.

The Company further announces a correction to its news release issued on June 4, 2020 (the “Correction News Release”). The Correction News Release stated that the exercise price of the share purchase warrants (the “Warrants”) issued in connection with the private placement was $0.10. The correct Warrant exercise price is $0.15. This correction does not change any other information reported in the initial news release issued on May 26, 2020.
