Idaho Copper (OTC: COPR) issued a shareholder letter outlining 2025 progress and 2026 plans for the CuMo project in Boise County, Idaho. Key points: USFS Plan of Operations approval, updated PEA targeted mid-2026, PFS aimed for late 2027/early 2028, and a $1.4 million convertible note tranche closed in April 2026.
The company cites legislative permitting reforms and critical-metal demand (copper, molybdenum, silver, tungsten, rhenium) as strategic tailwinds for domestic supply development.
Idaho Copper (OTC: COPR) announced a 1-for-20 reverse stock split effective at market open on Dec 15, 2025 to raise the per-share price and support meeting initial listing standards for the NYSE American.
Every 20 issued shares were combined into one share, and authorized common shares were reduced proportionately from 100,000,000 to 5,000,000. Fractional shares will be rounded up to whole shares; no fractional shares will be issued. Outstanding equity awards, warrants, and options will be adjusted per their terms. The stock will trade under temporary ticker COPRD for 20 business days, expected to revert to COPR on or about Jan 13, 2026. New CUSIP is 481159200.
Idaho Copper (OTC: COPR) has engaged MZ Group to lead its strategic investor relations and financial communications program. The company is developing the CuMo project in Boise County, Idaho, one of the largest undeveloped copper deposits in the Western Hemisphere and potentially the world's largest undeveloped molybdenum deposit.
The project spans 2,640 acres with 126 federal unpatented and 6 patented mining claims. According to a 2020 PEA, the project contains over 1.6B lb Molybdenum, almost 4B lb Copper and 179M oz Silver in Measured and Indicated resources. The company plans to commence a pre-feasibility study in early 2026, targeting completion in late 2027, and is preparing to uplist to the NYSE American exchange.
Idaho Copper Corp (OTC Pink: COPR) has received a significant approval from the United States Forest Service for its CuMo exploration project in Boise County, Idaho. The USFS issued a Decision Notice and Finding of No Significant Impact on March 14, 2025, approving the company's Plan of Operations (PoO) for exploration drilling activities.
The approval follows extensive collaboration since 2016 to ensure environmental compliance. The PoO encompasses temporary road construction, maintenance, and drilling operations, with mandatory requirements for proper closure and reclamation of all roads, drill pads, and drill holes upon completion. The plan includes multiple mitigation measures to protect the Boise River watershed.
While this approval marks a important step for exploration activities, it does not authorize mining operations. Any future mining development would require a separate Environmental Impact Statement (EIS) and public participation process.
Idaho Copper Corp (OTC Pink: COPR) has announced the engagement of Barr Engineering Co and Whittle Consulting Pty for updating its Preliminary Economic Assessment (PEA) Technical Report, expected in mid-2025.
Barr Engineering will serve as the study manager and lead author, bringing expertise in environmental, geologic services, mine engineering, and infrastructure design. The project will be supplemented by Lycopodium Inc, focusing on ore-sorting technology based on 2024 test work that showed the CuMo orebody's amenability to ore sorting.
The updated PEA, which has been in progress since March 2024, will comply with Canadian National Instrument 43-101 and US SEC Regulation S-K 1300. The integration of ore-sorting in mine design and production schedule is expected to significantly reduce initial capital and operating costs while enhancing project economics compared to the 2020 PEA.
Idaho Copper Corp. (OTC Pink: COPR) has received promising initial results from MineSense XRF scanning technology testwork on samples from the CuMo Idaho copper-molybdenum-silver deposit. The tests, conducted at MineSense's Vancouver facility, involved simulations replicating mining shovel bucket operations and crushed ore analysis. Results indicate that:
1. MineSense technology can distinguish between different copper and molybdenum grades in CuMo deposit.
2. CuMo mineralization is highly suitable for ore sorting using XRF sensing technology.
3. Ore sorting could potentially remove a significant portion of waste and lower-grade material, increasing mill feed grade.
This approach could lead to a smaller mill size than proposed in the 2020 Preliminary Economic Assessment, potentially resulting in reduced capital and operating costs. However, further work is needed to confirm these conceptual targets and potential grade enhancements.
Idaho Copper (OTC:COPR) has appointed Andrew Brodkey as its new Chief Executive Officer, replacing Steven Rudofsky who will remain on the board of directors. Brodkey, previously the company's Chief Operating Officer, brings over 30 years of experience in the mining and metals sector. His background includes executive positions at publicly traded mining companies and founding the International Mining and Metals Group at CB Richard Ellis.
Brodkey holds a Bachelor of Science in Mining Engineering from the University of Arizona and a Juris Doctor from Creighton University. The company's CFO, Robert Scannell, emphasized that Brodkey's expertise in mining engineering, law, and permitting will be important for Idaho Copper's future success.
Idaho Copper announced promising results from Veracio's TruScan XRF technology analysis on six drillholes at its CuMo deposit. The detailed scanning revealed potential for ore sorting, which can separate waste from higher-grade ore, thus improving overall processing efficiency. The initial results suggest significant grade enhancements, with Mo increasing from 0.041% to 0.232%, Cu from 0.08% to 0.11%, and Cu-equivalent from 0.36% to 1.46% in mill feed. This could reduce waste, lower mill size requirements, and decrease capital and operational costs, presenting an optimistic future for the CuMo project.
Idaho Copper (COPR) is beginning a important phase in its business plan by deploying a 'TruScan' core scanning unit to analyze metal grades from drill cores at the CuMo project. Veracio, a subsidiary of Boart Longyear, is providing the technology. The company aims to optimize ore sorting parameters to enhance profitability and reduce capital costs. Additionally, Idaho Copper CFO commented on the industry's M&A activity, signaling a positive outlook for the mining sector.
