Vancouver, British Columbia--(Newsfile Corp. - January 15, 2025) - Intrepid Metals Corp. (TSXV: INTR) (OTCQB: IMTCF) ("Intrepid" or the "Company") reports that both Rio Tinto and Ivanhoe Electric, through affiliates, have acquired mineral rights immediately adjacent to the Corral Copper Project ("Corral" or the "Project") located in Cochise County, Arizona (see Figure 1 below). Corral is a large-scale copper exploration project hosting shallow high-grade mineralization identified through drilling by Intrepid. The Project holds significant potential for new discoveries across its expansive land package.

不列顛哥倫比亞省溫哥華--(Newsfile CORP.,2025年1月15日)——Intrepid Metals CORP.(TSXV:INTR)(OTCQB:IMTCF)(「Intrepid」 或 「公司」)報告說,力拓和艾芬豪電氣都通過關聯公司收購了位於亞利桑那州科奇斯縣的科拉爾銅業項目(「Corral」 或 「項目」)附近的礦產權(見見下圖 1)。Corral 是一個大型銅礦勘探項目,其中的淺層高品位礦化區由 Intrepid 鑽探發現。該項目在其廣闊的土地包中具有巨大的新發現潛力。

Intrepid is pleased that Rio Tinto, one of the world's largest mining companies and copper producers, has shown significant interest in the region by securing a large land position adjacent to Corral's eastern borders. In addition, Ivanhoe Electric has acquired available land adjacent to Corral's southwestern land position.

Intrepid感到高興的是,全球最大的礦業公司和銅生產商之一力拓通過確保Corral東部邊境附近的大片土地對該地區表現出濃厚的興趣。此外,艾芬豪電氣還收購了與科拉爾西南土地位置相鄰的可用土地。

"The Corral Copper district is attracting significant attention from industry leaders," stated Ken Engquist, Chief Executive Officer of Intrepid. "We have recently established confidentiality agreements for access to our data room with four major strategics and are in negotiations with others to do the same. The interest shown by major players in this region underscores the value of our geological research and exploration activities, as well as our success in consolidating a private land package outside national forests in this historically fragmented mining region of Arizona. With our extensive land position and our upcoming drilling campaign scheduled to commence in early 2025, Intrepid is poised to spearhead the development of the next district scale copper opportunity in North America."

Intrepid首席執行官肯·恩奎斯特表示:「科拉爾銅業區吸引了行業領導者的極大關注。」「我們最近訂立了訪問我們數據室的保密協議,其中包含四項主要策略,並且正在與其他人進行談判以達成同樣的協議。主要參與者對該地區表現出的興趣凸顯了我們地質研究和勘探活動的價值,也凸顯了我們在亞利桑那州這個歷史上分散的採礦區成功地整合了國家森林以外的私人土地一攬子計劃。憑藉我們廣闊的陸地位置以及我們即將於2025年初開始的鑽探活動,Intrepid準備帶頭開發北美下一個區域規模的銅礦機會。」

On July 9, 2024, Intrepid announced the final results from its initial drill program at Corral, igniting substantial interest in the Project. The program delivered high-grade intercepts, particularly from the Ringo Zone:

2024年7月9日,Intrepid公佈了其在科拉爾的初始鑽探計劃的最終結果,這激發了人們對該項目的濃厚興趣。該計劃提供了高等級的攔截,尤其是來自林戈區的攔截:

On October 31, 2024, Intrepid outlined the next steps for Corral, building on the success of its initial drill program. The Company identified substantial shallow, high-grade mineralization and conducted a ground-based gravity geophysical survey, which revealed several new high-potential drill targets, particularly around the Ringo and Earp Zones. These findings will guide the upcoming Phase 2 drill program which is set to commence in early 2025 subject to completion of financing. The Phase 2 drill program will focus on expanding known zones of mineralization and drilling newly defined exploration targets well outside the existing mineralized footprint.

2024年10月31日,Intrepid在其初始鑽探計劃成功的基礎上概述了Corral的下一步行動。該公司發現了大量的淺層高品位礦化區,並進行了地面重力地球物理調查,發現了幾個新的高潛力鑽探目標,特別是在林戈和厄普區附近。這些發現將指導即將到來的第二階段鑽探計劃,該計劃將於2025年初開始,但須完成融資。第二階段鑽探計劃將側重於擴大已知的礦化區域,並在現有礦化足跡之外鑽探新定義的勘探目標。

About Corral Copper

關於 Corral Copper

The Corral Copper Property, located near historical mining areas, is an advanced exploration and development opportunity in Cochise County, Arizona. Corral is located 15 miles east of the famous mining town of Tombstone and 22 miles north of the historical Bisbee mining camp which has produced more than 8 billion pounds of copper2. Production from the Bisbee mining camp, or within the district as disclosed in the next paragraph, is not necessarily indicative of the mineral potential at Corral.

科拉爾銅業地產位於歷史礦區附近,是亞利桑那州科奇斯縣的先進勘探和開發機會。科拉爾位於著名的採礦小鎮湯姆斯通以東15英里處,位於歷史悠久的比斯比採礦營地以北22英里處,該營地生產了超過80磅的銅2。比斯比採礦營地或下一段中披露的該地區內的產量不一定表示科拉爾的礦產潛力。

The district has a mining history dating back to the late 1800s, with several small mines extracting copper from the area in the early 1900s, producing several thousand tons. Between 1950 and 2008, various companies explored parts of the district, but the effort was uncoordinated, non-synergistic and focused on discrete land positions and commodities due to the fragmented ownership. Intrepid has been able to secure data from various sources which provides a solid foundation in creating geological interpretations and identifying new target areas.

該地區的採礦歷史可以追溯到1800年代末,20世紀初,有幾個小礦山從該地區開採銅,產量爲數千噸。1950年至2008年間,多家公司對該地區的部分地區進行了勘探,但由於所有權分散,這項工作缺乏協調,沒有協同作用,主要集中在離散的土地和大宗商品上。Intrepid 已經能夠保護來自各種來源的數據,這爲創建地質解釋和確定新的目標區域提供了堅實的基礎。

The Corral Copper Property is comprised of the Excelsior Property, the CCCI Properties, the Sara Claim Group and the MAN Property. The Company has completed the acquisition of the Excelsior Property and Sara Claim Group through purchase and sale agreements. The Company has the right to acquire the corporate group that holds the CCCI Properties through an option agreement. The Company has the right to acquire the MAN Property through an option agreement. See the "Commitments" section of the Company's most recently filed Management Discussion and Analysis for further details.

科拉爾銅業地產由怡東地產、CCCI地產、薩拉索賠小組和曼恩地產組成。該公司已通過收購和銷售協議完成了對Excelsior Property和Sara Claim Group的收購。公司有權通過期權協議收購持有CCCI地產的公司集團。公司有權通過期權協議收購MAN財產。有關更多詳情,請參閱公司最近提交的管理層討論與分析的 「承諾」 部分。

Intrepid is confident that by combining modern exploration techniques with historical data and with a clear focus on responsible development, the Corral Copper Property can quickly become an advanced exploration stage project and move towards development studies.

Intrepid相信,通過將現代勘探技術與歷史數據相結合,明確將重點放在負責任的開發上,Corral Copperty可以迅速成爲一個高級勘探階段的項目,並進入開發研究。

Notes

注意事項

1 Composite intervals are calculated using length weighted averages based on a combination of lithological breaks and copper, gold, silver and zinc assay values. All intervals reported are core lengths, and true thicknesses are yet to be determined. Mineral resource modeling is required before true thicknesses can be confidently estimated. Analyzed Grade corresponds composite weighted ("composites") averages of laboratory analyses. Metal Equivalent corresponds to undiluted metal equivalent of reported composites. Metal prices used for the CuEq and AuEQ calculations are in USD based on Ag $22.00/oz, Au $1900/oz, Cu $3.80/lb, Zn $1.15/lb The following equation was used to calculate copper equivalence: CuEq = Copper (%) (85% rec.) + (Gold (g/t) x 0.71)(80% rec.) + (Silver (g/t) x 0.0077)(80% rec.) + (Zinc (%) x 0.28)(80% rec.). The following equation was used to calculate gold equivalence: AuEq = Gold (g/t)(80% rec.) + (Copper (%) x 1.4085)(85% rec.) + (Silver (g/t) x 0.0108)(80% rec.) + (Zinc (%) x 0.4188)(80% rec.). Analyzed metal equivalent calculations are reported for illustrative purposes only. The metal chosen for reporting on an equivalent basis is the one that contributes the most dollar value after accounting for assumed recoveries.
