Executive Summary

• Intrepid Metals Corp. entered a purchase‑and‑sale agreement to acquire the “Viewsite” patented mining claims adjacent to its Ringo zone at the Corral copper project in Cochise County, Arizona.
• The acquisition adds 348 acres (≈4,187 ha) of fully owned surface and mineral rights, expanding Intrepid’s land position to roughly 10,346 acres.
• Purchase price is $475,000 US ($100,000 payable at closing; $375,000 due by Jan‑31‑2026); no securities are issued and no finders’ fees apply.

Key Details

• Target Assets: Viewsite patented mining claims located ~2 km south/southwest of the Ivanhoe Electric claims and immediately adjacent to Intrepid’s Ringo copper‑gold zone.
• Land Added: 348 acres (≈4,187 ha), increasing total holdings to ≈10,346 acres (≈4,187 ha).
• Geological Significance: Claims host multiple prospective targets with porphyry‑style alteration, skarn and carbonate‑replacement mineralization; historic drilling intersected 112.95 m @ 1.50 % Cu and 216.50 m @ 0.71 % Cu in the nearby Ringo zone.
• Exploration Potential: Geophysical surveys show magnetic and resistivity anomalies consistent with subsurface mineralization; presence of altered Paleozoic limestones, jasperoids, and trace‑element signatures support CRD‑style potential.
• Purchase Price & Terms:
• $100,000 US payable at closing.
• Remaining $375,000 US payable on or before 31 Jan 2026.
• No common shares, warrants, or other securities issued.

• Strategic Rationale: Securing fully owned patented claims streamlines permitting, provides surface and mineral rights ownership, and strengthens Intrepid’s position between its high‑grade Ringo zone and the newly acquired Ivanhoe Electric claims.
• Future Plans: Company intends to evaluate the Viewsite targets through upcoming mapping and drilling programs.
