Aldebaran Adopts Shareholder Rights Plan VANCOUVER, British Columbia, March 31, 2026 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Aldebaran Resources Inc. (“Aldebaran” or the “Company”) (TSX-V: ALDE, OTCQX: ADBRF) announces that it has adopted a shareholder rights plan (the “Rights Plan”) effective as of March 30, 2026, pursuant to a shareholder rights plan agreement entered into with Olympia Trust Company, as rights agents.
