Copper Receives U.S. Forest Service Approval to Commence Drilling at Flagship CuMo Copper-Molybdenum Project
Approved
Exploration Plan of Operations and 2026 Annual Operating Plan Clear the Way for Drilling; Company Targeting Up to 15,000 Feet of Additional
Diamond Core Drilling This Season
BOISE,
Idaho – September 22, 2026 – Idaho Copper Corporation (NYSE American: COPR) (“Idaho Copper” or the “Company”),
a critical minerals developer advancing the flagship CuMo copper-molybdenum-silver project in Idaho, today announced that the U.S. Forest
Service, Boise National Forest (“USFS”) sent a letter approving the Company’s Exploration Plan of Operations (“PoO”)
and its 2026 annual operating plan for exploration at the CuMo project in Boise County, Idaho, clearing the way for drilling and roadbuilding
and maintenance activities to commence.
On
September 9, 2026, the USFS accepted the Company’s signed Forest Service Evaluation form and incorporated all required changes,
modifications and mitigations into the approved PoO, and has accepted the Company’s reclamation surety bond. The letter further
notes that the Company has provided documentation showing that all other permits necessary for the project are in place and in good standing.
The USFS also approved the Company’s 2026 annual operating plan, which was reviewed and field verified by agency staff. The approved
PoO is effective for six years from the first day of operations, inclusive of final reclamation.
The
approval follows the Decision Notice and Finding of No Significant Impact issued by the USFS on March 14, 2025 under an Environmental
Assessment, which completed the federal environmental review of the CuMo exploration plan. The September 9 letter satisfies the remaining
administrative conditions to that decision and authorizes the Company to begin work.
Management
Commentary
“Approval
of our Exploration Plan of Operations and our 2026 annual operating plan is the culmination of a decade of work with the Forest Service,
and it is the milestone that should turn CuMo from a concept into an active drill program,” said Andrew Brodkey, Chief Executive
Officer of Idaho Copper. “We have an approved plan, an accepted reclamation bond, and the other permits this project requires.
In a country where federal permitting is often the single largest obstacle impeding advancement of a critical minerals deposit, that
is a meaningful achievement.”
“Our
priority for the balance of this season is infill drilling that tightens confidence in the existing deposit, and we plan to carry that
work into a substantially larger campaign in 2027 aimed at completing the drilling needed for a Prefeasibility Study. Every foot we drill
from here will be directed at advancing CuMo toward a development decision, and at doing so under the environmental commitments we have
made to the Forest Service and to the communities around this project,” concluded Brodkey.
