EDMONTON, May 24, 2018 /CNW/ - Altiplano Minerals Ltd. (TSXV: APN) ("APN" or the "Company") is pleased to announce that the Company intends to change its name to "Altiplano Metals Inc." as part of a broader marketing strategy and to more accurately reflect its current business operations in Chile.  The proposed change of name is subject to the acceptance of the TSX Venture Exchange ("TSXV") and the approval of the Registrar of Companies for British Columbia. In conjunction with the proposed change of name, the Company's share capital would be issued under new CUSIP/ISIN numbers, but it is anticipated that the TSXV trading symbol would remain as APN.
