|
| It’s a story that’s played out over and over again over decades: An aggressive and nimble junior exploration company discovers a world-class deposit that the major mining companies completely missed.
|
| Then one of the majors is forced to buy the junior outfit at a vast multiple of its pre-discovery value, reaping fortunes for those shareholders who got in early.
|
| That script may be playing out right now in Arizona — with still-tiny Intrepid Metals (INTR.V; IMTCF.OTC).
|
| The good news is that we’re still early in the plotline:
|
| 1) Drill results coming in right now indicate that Intrepid has made a big discovery...and that it might have already claimed all the best ground in the district.
2) The big companies, seeing Intrepid’s drill hits, have rushed in to surround their land position.
|
| As you’re about to see, the drill results coming out right now from Intrepid’s Corral Project rival the best we’ve seen anywhere in the world recently, in terms of grade and length.
Importantly, you’re also going to learn that the market is still giving little credit to a discovery that could create one of the biggest resource-stock winners of the coming months.

| A Rising Force in Critical Minerals
|
| Intrepid Metals is capitalizing on a breakout year, positioning itself as a key player in the copper and critical metals sector.
|
| With copper as a linchpin of renewable energy and electric mobility, Intrepid’s flagship Corral Copper Project in Arizona has already delivered eye-popping 2025 drill results, including wide, high-grade copper intercepts with significant gold and silver by-products.
|
| These results have been so significant, in fact, that the company has attracted big money from smart investors — C$5 million in a recent financing, on top of an over-subscribed financing round last year.
They’ve also prompted Intrepid to aggressively tie up new strategic land in the area — ahead of some of the most powerful players in the industry.

| Corral Copper:
A High-Grade, District-Scale Opportunity
|
| The Corral Copper Project anchors Intrepid’s portfolio, with its first two phases of drilling so far delivering exceptional copper, gold and silver intercepts across multiple zones.
Phase 1 confirmed the district’s potential with multiple 100+ meter intervals exceeding 1% copper equivalent. In 2025, Phase 2 drilling has continued to confirm and expand the discovery with even more outstanding results, highlighted by:
|
| • 216.50 meters grading 0.71% copper, 0.28 g/t gold and 5.14 g/t silver (Hole CC25-029), including 23.05 meters at 3.31% copper, 1.31 g/t gold and 16.65 g/t silver and 10.25 meters at 5.94% copper, 2.20 g/t gold and 25.50 g/t silver.
• 142.30 meters at 0.51% copper, 0.17 g/t gold and 4.01 g/t silver (Hole CC25-026), including 17.65 meters at 2.72% copper, 0.58 g/t gold and 18.16 g/t silver and a spectacular 0.55 meters at 27.50% copper, 10.15 g/t gold and 192 g/t silver.
|
| These results confirm Corral Copper as one of the most exciting new shallow, high-grade copper discoveries in the U.S. if not the world, with significant gold and silver by-products boosting the project’s potential economics.
Located in Arizona’s historic Turquoise Mining District, the Corral Copper Project shares many geological features with the renowned Bisbee Camp, which produced high-grade carbonate replacement deposits (CRDs) alongside large-scale porphyry systems.
Building on this proven geological setting, Intrepid has identified new porphyry copper-gold targets and, through recent drilling and target generation, confirmed the potential for both CRD- and porphyry-style mineralization across its consolidated land package.
|
| Heavyweights Surround The Leader
|
| Historic results and good, old-fashioned geologic work and interpretation prompted Intrepid’s team to consolidate previously fragmented property ownership in the district, creating a cohesive 3.5-kilometer mineralized trend encompassing previous operations and the company’s newly promising ground.
It didn’t take long for word to get out.

|
| As the map clearly shows, the entire district — and Intrepid’s ground in particular — was so promising that Ivanhoe Electric and mining behemoth Rio Tinto quickly moved in and completely surrounded it!
This is how you know you’re looking in the right place!
|
| The presence of major players like Rio Tinto and Ivanhoe Electric hard against Intrepid’s ground underscores Corral’s strategic importance.
|
| Moreover, Arizona’s status as the U.S.’s top copper-producing state, with robust infrastructure and regulatory support, enhances Corral’s development potential amid rising demand for copper, zinc and silver.
All of this is why, on the heels of its drilling success, Intrepid has been consolidating ground to secure long-term control over the district.
So far this year alone, the company has expanded its land position to more than 10,300 acres, including:
|
| • Four state leases and a patented mining claim on the eastern border of the property, bridging the southern gap between Intrepid’s holdings and recently acquired claims by Rio Tinto.
• The acquisition of the Viewsite patented claims (348 acres), located near the high-grade Ringo Zone and within two kilometers of ground controlled by the powerful and far-sighted Ivanhoe Electric.
|
| Simply put, Corral and its promise have been...corralled. And yet, there’s even more...
|
| Beyond Corral:
A Robust Exploration Pipeline
|
| While Corral Copper remains the flagship, Intrepid’s portfolio offers additional growth potential:
|
| • Tombstone South Project – Situated near South32’s massive $1.3 billion Taylor deposit, Tombstone South benefits from historical high-grade intercepts and is fully permitted for drilling, positioning it for near-term exploration.
• Mesa Well Project – Located in the Laramide Copper Porphyry Belt, Mesa Well provides further exploration upside in one of the most productive copper belts in North America.
|
| The Corral Project story is developing at this very moment, but Intrepid’s diversified pipeline shows that this company has the potential to grow for years to come.

| Strategic Positioning In A Hot Market
|
| The weeks ahead will provide the market with a steady flow of news and catalysts as Intrepid finally gains the market’s attention with...
|
| • High-grade, shallow copper discoveries with gold and silver credits.
• Expanded land control in one of the most prospective copper districts in Arizona.
• A fully funded drill program delivering more eagerly-awaited results through the year.
|
| Consider this: Copper represents one of the most exciting commodity stories of recent history, with accelerating demand due to global electrification and AI data centers expected to drive consistent price gains for years to come.
|
| Providing the market with a high-grade, growing copper project in this environment — accompanied by soaring gold and silver prices — would clear the path to a much higher market valuation for Intrepid Metals.
|
| With multiple high-grade intercepts already reported in recent weeks...with a significantly expanded land position surrounded by industry heavyweights...and with a still-tiny market valuation...Intrepid Metals is one of today’s rare bargains.
That means it’s an opportunity that smart investors will want to look into now.
