1. BUSINESS**
Idaho
Copper Corporation is a mineral exploration and development company, focused on exploring and developing a large copper-molybdenum-silver
deposit in Idaho (United States), (the CuMo Project).
| 4 | |
Idaho
Copper seeks to capitalize on the looming copper supply deficit by advancing one of the potentially largest untapped copper projects
in the United States. The economics of the project benefit from extensive high-value co-products including molybdenum and silver. A Preliminary
Economic Assessment (PEA) was completed in May 2020 by SRK Consulting (Canada) Inc.
The
CuMo Project currently consists of one hundred and twenty-six (126) federal unpatented lode mining claims, and six (6) patented mining
claims. In total, the project comprises approximately 2,640 acres. The unpatented lode mining claims and patented claims are situated
in an unorganized mining district, in Boise County, Idaho, spanning Sections in Township 7N and 8N, Range 5E and 6E, Boise Meridian.
The
CuMo deposit is situated within the Idaho batholith and is part of a regional scale belt of porphyry and related deposits identified
as the Idaho-Montana Porphyry Belt. Igneous complexes in this belt are interpreted to be related to an Eocene, intra-arc rift, and are
characterized by alkalic rocks in the northeast, mixed alkalic and calc-alkalic rocks in the middle, and calc-alkaline rocks in the southwest.
The CuMo deposit is located at the southwestern end of this belt and is associated with a calc-alkalic monzogranite, reported as 45-52Ma
age that intrudes Cretaceous equigranular intrusive rocks of the Atlanta Lobe of the Idaho Batholith. The CuMo area is underlain by biotite
granodiorite, the most common rock type of the Atlanta lobe of the Idaho batholith. All of the felsic intrusive phases contain molybdenite
(MoS2) mineralization.
**Ore
Sorting and Updated Preliminary Economic Assessment**
Idaho
Copper presently is investigating the potential to utilize additional ore sorting technologies to optimize the separation of waste and
low grade ore from higher grade mill feed post-mining and increase the head grade of ore being fed to a concentrator. The thin-veined,
stockwork nature of the CuMo deposit lends itself well to ore sorting, since mineralized veins at CuMo largely carry the metals of interest
and are much different from waste in appearance. A visual scanning exercise of all of the core recovered from previous drilling activities
described herein revealed that up to 84% of the waste and lower grade ore mined can be theoretically separated from higher grade material
through application of ore sorting, versus the 28% separation factor that SRK Consulting (Canada) Inc. (SRK) conservatively
used in its 2020 Preliminary Economic Assessment (PEA). There are over 90 active mines in the world today which utilize
some form of ore sorting.
**Competitive
Position in the Industry**
The
mineral exploration, development, and production industry are largely un-integrated. The Company competes with other exploration companies
looking to acquire and obtain financing for the exploration and development of mineral resource properties. While the Company competes
with other exploration companies to locate and acquire mineral resource properties, it may also compete with them for the removal or
sales of mineral products from its properties if it should eventually discover their presence in quantities sufficient to make production
economically feasible. Readily available markets for the sale of mineral products only sometimes exist for all mineral commodities; however,
the principal CuMo Project commodities of copper, silver and molybdenum are traded on international exchanges and therefore, at a minimum
a terminal market exists for which these commodities can be delivered and sold.
**Company
History (2020 2022)**
Idaho
Copper Corporation (formerly known as Joway Health Industries Group Inc.), incorporated in Nevada, was initially engaged in the manufacture,
distribution, and sales of tourmaline-related healthcare products through operating entities in China. As a result of the consummation
of the transactions contemplated by the Merger Agreement dated as of December 31, 2020, with Dynamic Elite International Limited, a British
Virgin Islands company, Crystal Globe Limited, a British Virgin Islands company, and Joway Merger Subsidiary Limited, a British Virgin
Islands company, the Company no longer had any assets or business operations. Accordingly, the Company became a shell company, as that
term is defined in Rule 12b-2 of the Exchange Act.
On
February 3, 2022, the Company consummated the transactions contemplated by the Purchase Agreement dated as of January 31, 2022 by and
among the Company, Crystal Globe Limited and JHP Holdings, Inc., a Nevada corporation, pursuant to which JHJP purchased 16,644,820 shares
of Common Stock of the Company from Crystal Globe. The shares represented 83% of the issued and outstanding shares of the Company on
a fully diluted basis. The purchase price for the shares paid by JHP was $100,000. Pursuant to the Purchase Agreement, each of Crystal
Globe, JHP and the Company made customary representations and warranties to each other. In connection with the acquisition of the 83%
by JHP, Jinghe Zhang, the sole officer and director of the Company, resigned and Ramon Lata was appointed as the sole officer and director
of the Company.
**Company
History (2023 Present)**
On
January 23, 2023, the Company entered into and consummated the transactions contemplated by a Share Exchange by and among the Company,
International CuMo Mining Corporation, an Idaho corporation, and the shareholders of ICUMO Shareholders. Pursuant to the terms of the
Share Exchange Agreement, the ICUMO Shareholders transferred all the issued and outstanding shares of Common Stock of ICUMO to the Company
in exchange for newly issued shares of the Companys Common Stock As a result of this Share Exchange, ICUMO became a wholly owned
subsidiary of the Company.
| 5 | |
ICUMO
owns and controls the mining claims and rights to the CuMo Project, a large primary molybdenum deposit with silver and copper co-products
and also byproducts tungsten and rhenium. Located in Boise County, Idaho, ICUMO was formed to determine the geologic and environmental
factors that will determine the future development plan of the CuMo Project.
Pursuant
to the terms of the Share Exchange Agreement, each share of ICUMOs Common Stock held by the ICUMO Shareholders was converted into
the right to receive the number of shares of Common Stock equal to an exchange ratio of 1.34.
As
a result of the Exchange, a change in control of the Company occurred with the ICUMO Shareholders owning 90.1% of the issued and outstanding
shares of Common Stock. Immediately after giving effect to the Exchange, there were 202,294,000 issued and outstanding shares of Common
Stock, held as follows:
| 
| 
| 
The
stockholders of the Company prior to the Exchange held 20,054,000 shares of issued and outstanding Common Stock; and | |
| 
| 
| 
| |
| 
| 
| 
The
ICUMO Shareholders held 182,240,000 shares of issued and outstanding Common Stock. | |
Pursuant
to the terms of the Share Exchange Agreement, on January 23, 2023 at the Closing of the exchange the Company assumed: (i) all ICUMOs
obligations for the options, whether or not vested, granted to key management personnel pursuant to certain Incentive Stock Option agreements,
and any vested options are now exercisable to purchase shares of Common Stock at an exercise price of $0.125 until December 31, 2027;
and (ii) all ICUMOs obligations pursuant to certain warrants to purchase shares of ICUMO Common Stock, which warrants are now
exercisable to purchase shares of Common Stock, at an exercise price of $0.15, until May 11, 2027. The Incentive Stock Options and 2021
Warrants are (i) exercisable for that number of shares of Common Stock equal to the number of shares of ICUMOs Common Stock subject
to such options and warrants, immediately prior to the Closing and as adjusted by the Exchange Ratio, and (ii) have an initial exercise
price per share equal to the initial exercise price per share in effect for that option or warrant immediately prior to the Closing.
With respect to these Incentive Stock Options and 2021 Warrants, the Company assumed at Closing, after applying the Exchange Ratio, vested
and unvested options to purchase an aggregate of 56,615,000 shares of Common Stock and warrants exercisable for up to 41,540,000 shares
of Common Stock.
At
the Closing, Ramon Lata, the sole officer, and director of the Company, resigned from all his offices and from the board of directors
of the Company. In his place, the Board appointed four new directors, Robert Scannell, John Moeller, Shaun Dykes, and Andrew Brodkey,
and the following four executive officers, Steven Rudofsky as Chief Executive Officer and President, Robert Scannell as Chief Financial
Officer, Andrew Brodkey as Chief Operating Officer, and Shaun Dykes as Vice President, Exploration.
**Private
Placement by ICUMO**
Prior
to entering into the Share Exchange Agreement, from December 2022 to January 9, 2023, ICUMO conducted a private placement offering whereby
it issued and sold Notes in the total amount of $898,000 with a conversion price of $0.10 and 8,980,000 warrants to purchase ICUMO Common
Stock, with an exercise price of $0.15. As a condition to entering into the Share Exchange Agreement, ICUMO and the Company agreed that
the Company would exchange the Notes and 2023 Warrants for notes and warrants issued by the Company. Such replacement notes and warrants
were issued by the Company to the holders of the Notes and 2023 Warrants on January 23, 2023. After applying the Exchange Ratio to the
conversion rate, the Company had outstanding convertible secured promissory notes in the principal amount of $898,000 which will convert
into shares of Common Stock at an adjusted conversion price of $0.075 per share of Common Stock and 11,973,333 warrants to purchase shares
of Common Stock at an adjusted exercise price of $0.15 per share. Principal on the Notes is due and payable on July 23, 2025. The warrants
expire on January 9, 2028.
The
Replacement Notes and Warrants are secured by a first priority lien on all of the assets and mining claims of the Company, other than
certain patented lode mining claims that represent approximately 7.3% of the CuMo Project.
The
Company continues to be a smaller reporting company, as defined under the Exchange Act, however, as a result of the Exchange,
the Company has ceased to be a shell company.
In
connection with the Exchange, the Company entered into lock-up and leak-out agreements (Lock-Up Agreements) with (i) certain
majority shareholders of ICUMO, (ii) the holders of the Incentive Stock Options, (iii) the majority stockholder of the Company prior
to the Exchange; and (iv) certain service providers who will receive shares of Common Stock as payment for services rendered in connection
with the Share Exchange Agreement. These Lock-Up Agreements cover the Exchange Shares, any Common Stock issued pursuant to the exercise
of any Incentive Stock Options or 2021 Warrants, and all shares of Common Stock issued to such service providers (the Covered
Securities). The Lock-Up Agreements did not require any additional restrictions to be added to the Covered Securities at issuance
but rather were applicable to the holders of the Covered Securities. The Lock-up Agreements provide that the Covered Securities are subject
to an 18-month lock-up from January 23, 2023, subject to (i) early release upon the Company up-listing to a national securities exchange,
and (ii) termination upon certain corporate events and transactions, and also provide for certain limited permitted transfers where the
recipient takes the shares subject to the restrictions in the Lock-Up Agreement. At the end of the lock-up period, the Covered Securities
are subject to a one-year leak-out restriction for public resales of five percent of the trailing ten (10) day average trading volume
of the Common Stock. The Company may waive these restrictions.
In
connection with the transactions contemplated by the Share Exchange Agreement, prior to the Closing, the Company assigned all the amounts
owed to a third-party service provider to JHP, the former controlling stockholder of the Company. Pursuant to the terms of this Debt
Assignment and Release Agreement, JHP Holdings, Inc. assumed all the outstanding debts of the Company as of January 23, 2023.

**The
CuMo Project, Geology and Mineralization**
The
CuMo Project currently consists of one hundred and twenty-six (126) federal unpatented lode mining claims, and six (6) patented mining
claims. In total, the project comprises approximately 2,640 acres. The unpatented lode mining claims and patented claims are situated
in an unorganized mining district, in Boise County, Idaho, spanning Sections in Township 7N and 8N, Range 5E and 6E, Boise Meridian,
and are within the Boise National Forest.
The
CuMo deposit is situated within the geological occurrence called the Idaho batholith and is part of a regional scale belt of porphyry
and related deposits identified as the Idaho-Montana Porphyry Belt. Igneous complexes in this belt are interpreted to be related to an
Eocene, intra-arc rift, and are characterized by alkalic rocks in the northeast, mixed alkalic and calc-alkalic rocks in the middle,
and calc-alkaline rocks in the southwest. The CuMo deposit is located at the southwestern end of this belt and is associated with a calc-alkalic
monzogranite, reported as 45-52Ma age that intrudes Cretaceous equigranular intrusive rocks of the Atlanta Lobe of the Idaho Batholith.
The CuMo area is underlain by biotite granodiorite, the most common rock type of the Atlanta lobe of the Idaho batholith. All of the
felsic intrusive phases contain molybdenite (MoS2) mineralization.
The
CuMo deposit is located adjacent to a historic gold mining camp. Gold was discovered in the Boise Basin in 1862 and lode mining began
within a year. As of 1940, total gold production amounted to 2.8 million ounces of which 74% was from placer operations. More gold has
been produced from the Boise Basin than any other mining locality in Idaho. Although they are primarily gold deposits, considerable silver
and minor copper, lead and zinc were produced as byproducts from the lodes.
The
area features two separate mineralizing events that are referred to as early Tertiary and early Miocene. The first event consists of
gold-quartz veins containing minor sulfide minerals that occur within the Idaho batholith and are associated with weak wall rock alteration.
Associated sulfide minerals include pyrite, arsenopyrite, sphalerite, tetrahedrite, chalcopyrite, galena, and stibnite. The second mineralizing
event occurs within porphyry dikes and stocks as well as in the batholith, and is characterized by relatively abundant sulfide mineralization,
subordinate quartz, and widespread wall rock alteration. Base metal mineralization consists of pyrite, sphalerite, galena, tetrahedrite,
chalcopyrite, minor quartz, and siderite with local occurrences of pyrrhotite and enargite.
Molybdenum
mineralization was discovered at CuMo in 1963. Mineralization on the property occurs in veins and veinlets developed within various intrusive
bodies. Molybdenite (MoS2) occurs within quartz veins, veinlets, and vein stockworks. Whereas a typical porphyry deposit features disseminated
mineralized areas throughout the orebody. CuMo is a stockwork-type deposit, Individual veinlets vary in size from tiny fractures to veinlets
five centimeters in width, with an overall thickness averaging 0.3- 0.4 cm. Pyrite and/or chalcopyrite are commonly associated with molybdenite
although molybdenite can occur alone without other metallic mineralization.
Due
to their large size, the total contained economic molybdenum in this type of lower grade copper-molybdenum deposit can be equivalent
to or exceed that of high-grade molybdenum deposits.
**History
of CuMo Project Exploration**
The
Boise Basin was first explored following the discovery of placer gold deposits in 1862. Several lode gold deposits were discovered and
developed immediately following the initial alluvial gold rush, with significant production occurring in the late 1800s and early
1900s. No production has occurred on the CuMo Project claim footprint itself.
The
first interest in the CuMo property was shown during aerial reconnaissance by Amax Exploration (Amax) in 1963. Follow-up
geochemical rock and soil sampling indicated anomalous molybdenum and copper values. Forty claims were then staked, and three previously
existing claims were optioned. A 2.5 mile (4 km) rough access road was constructed in 1964 to facilitate collection of rock samples and
geological mapping. Amax completed detailed bedrock mapping on the CuMo property between 1964 and 1981.
In
1968, Curwood Mining Company staked 12 claims and undertook detailed mapping and geochemical rock sampling. Several trenches were excavated,
and one line of dipole-dipole array induced polarization (IP) geophysical survey was conducted.
In
1969, Midwest Oil Corp. optioned the property and conducted exploration drilling through 1972 (four short rotary holes (less than 100
ft) initially, which were later deepened using diamond drilling, followed by six cored holes). Midwest also performed an IP survey in
1971 and an airborne magnetic survey in 1973.
In
1973, Midwest formed a joint venture with Amax and then subsequently Midwest was merged with Amoco Minerals Company (AMOCO)
resulting in an Amax-AMOCO joint venture with AMOCO as operator. During the period 1973 to 1981, the Amax-AMOCO joint venture completed
30,822 ft of drilling, surface geological mapping, re-logging of the core, road construction, an aerial topographic survey, and age dating.
In 1980, Amax Exploration Inc. transferred its interest to Climax Molybdenum Company (Climax), also a subsidiary of Amax
Inc. In 1982, Climax collected more than 300 soil geochemical samples from three different grids.
A
total of twenty-three (23) diamond holes and three RC holes were drilled on the property during this timeframe. Most RC holes were pre-collars
to diamond drill holes with only the diamond drill component of the holes being used for resource modelling and sampling. The historic
holes were sampled mostly at a 20ft sample interval. All the sample rejects were delivered directly from Climaxs secure facility
in Colorado and are stored in the project secure warehouse facility for use by the project.

The
drilling efforts from 1969 to 1982 were the only actual drilling done on the property until ICUMO in 2006, who under option from American
CuMo completed one diamond drillhole and partially completed another before relinquishing the project back to American CuMo in late 2006.
Thereafter, American CuMo between 2006 and 2012 drilled a total of 25,486.82m in forty-two (42) holes. Drilling consisted of both HQ
and NQ diameter core with holes being started with HQ diameter and then reducing at a major fault intersection or at 1000ft which ever
was less. Core recoveries were monitored and were excellent (90%+). All holes were surveyed down-the-hole at regular intervals (100 feet)
using a Reflex survey instrument. All core was collected at the drill site by the diamond drillers under supervision of onsite geology
staff and delivered to a secure warehouse facility in Garden Valley where they were logged, analyzed and samples collected. All drill
sites were surveyed using a total field station in order to accurately locate the holes.
The
2006 through 2012 results confirmed the extent and grade of mineralization on the property as indicated by previous drilling and demonstrated
continuity of mineralization between the original wide-spaced holes.
American
CuMos work resulted in the interpretation and modelling of three distinct mineralized zones within the deposit. These zones were
previously interpreted by Amax as distinct shells that were produced by separate intrusions. Re-interpretation of down-hole histograms
for copper (Cu), silver (Ag) and molybdenite (MoS2) suggests the mineralized zones are part of a single, large, concentrically zoned
system with an upper copper-silver zone, underlain by a transitional copper-molybdenum zone, in turn underlain by a lower molybdenum-rich
zone. Three-dimensional modeling of the above zonation indicates the current area being drilled is located on the north side of a large
system extending 4.5km (15,000ft) in diameter, of which 1.5 km (3,000 ft.) has been drilled.
**Resource
Reports and Preliminary Economic Assessments**
In
2008, an initial Resource Estimate compliant with Canadian National Instrument 43-101 was commissioned by American CuMo under its former
name, Mosquito Consolidated Gold Mines Ltd. This estimate was based on information from 31 diamond drillholes completed through 2007.
The deposit was subdivided into three mineral domains based on the drill hole data: a Cu-Ag zone, a Cu-Mo zone, and a Mo zone. Within
each mineral domain 20 ft. composites were formed. Blocks 50 x 50 x 50 ft. were estimated for MoS2, Cu, Ag and W by ordinary kriging.
In
May 2009, the authors of the 2008 report provided an updated Resource Estimate based on a total of 42 diamond drill holes totaling 76,436
ft, including 11 completed during 2008. Using a Recoverable Metal Value (the RCV) cutoff at various US dollar values per
ton, and at certain assumed metal recoveries and metal prices, the authors presented tonnages, metal grades, and contained metal for
indicated and inferred resource calculations in all 3 mineralized zones.
In
November 2009, Ausenco Canada Inc. (Ausenco), an independent, third-party engineering firm employed by American CuMo, published
a NI 43-101 compliant Preliminary Economic Assessment, throughput Scoping Study Report based on the same 42 diamond drillholes. In a
manner similar to the May 2009 report, Ausenco reported tonnages, metal grades and contained metal for indicated and inferred resource
calculations in all 3 mineralized zones. Ausenco went further and proposed a mining and processing operational design at various mining
rates, from 50,000 to 200,000 tons per day of ore to mill throughput. This firm also included provisions and estimated capital and operating
costs for a conceptual open pit mine, waste dumps, tailings storage facility, plant/concentrator, molybdenum roaster, and ancillary facilities.
Based on this data, Ausenco was able to perform a Preliminary Economic Analysis (PEA) of the CuMo project, at various throughput rates,
which yielded numeric results for Net Present Value, Internal Rate of Return, Payback, and cash operating costs per pound of molybdenum
equivalent.
In
2011, a new technical study for a NI 43-101 compliant Resource update was commissioned with Snowden Mining Consultants. The resource
estimate update was based on a total of 54 diamond drillholes totaling 99,404 ft. Of these, 12 diamond drillholes were completed in 2009
and 2010. Again, using assumed metal recoveries and selected RCV cut-off grades, Snowden reported updated global Indicated Resources
and global Inferred Resources Snowden adopted most of the other design parameters and assumptions offered by Ausenco.
In
August 2015, Gary Giroux of Giroux Consultants Ltd. (one of the authors of the 2008 and 2009 Reports) was employed by American CuMo to
publish a NI 43-101 compliant, updated resource estimate. This update was based on a total of 65 diamond drill holes totaling 120,685
feet (36,784.9 meters). Nine (9) of the sixty-five (65) diamond drill holes were completed in 2012 since the previous resource calculation.
Using low, medium, and high metal price assumptions, and different cutoff grades for RCV, Giroux calculated Measured, Indicated, and
Inferred mineral resource numbers for ore contained within a conceptual pit shell.
Finally,
in 2020 SRK authored a Canadian NI 43-101 compliant Preliminary Economic Assessment and Technical Report (PEA) for the CuMo project.
This document, relying on the previously published 2015 resource estimate, proposed an open pit mine and concentrator combination at
a milling rate of 150,000 tons per day, and an initial mine life of 30 years. It also incorporated particle-based ore sorting technology
to remove 28% of the mining waste from the ore stream, prior to entering the concentrator.
The
mineral resource estimates contained in the TRS are based on drilling completed through 2012 on a total of 65 diamond drill holes totaling
36,166 m (118,654 ft). As no additional drilling has been completed since the 2015 resource was estimated, the mineral resource estimates
are considered current and have not been updated since that time.
The
mineral resource estimates contained in the TRS were estimated in conformity with Committee for Mineral Reserves International Reporting
Standards (CRIRSCO) International Reporting Template for the public reporting of Exploration Targets, Exploration Results, Mineral
Resources and Mineral Reserves as adopted by the International Council on Mining & Metals November 2019. The mineral resources
are reported in in accordance with 229.1300 through 229.1305 (subpart 229.1300 of Regulation S-K).
| 8 | |
The
resource estimate was based on a total of 65 diamond drill holes totaling 36,166 m (118,654 ft). Nine of the 65 diamond drill holes were
completed in 2012. As no additional drilling has been completed since the 2015 resource was estimated, it is considered current. The
resource is considered an Insitu resource as it is based on the drilling and overall geological modeling.

The detailed results of the resource calculation can be found in Exhibit 96.1 of this filing, in particular sections 1.10.1 and Section
11. The point of reference for this mineral resource is an In-situ Resource.
RCV
calculation:
The
RCV calculations were based on the following metal prices
Table

Molybdenum
is sold as molybdenum trioxide (MoO3) which has higher Mo content. The price used in this study for MoO3 is $10/lb.
MoO3 is calculated from MoS2 by the following:

RCV
(Cu-Ag) = (Cu% * 40.8) + (Ag(ppm) * 0.27) + (MoS2% * 154.67)
| 9 | |
RCV
(Cu-Mo) = (Cu% * 51.0) + (Ag(ppm) * 0.28) + (MoS2% * 165.46)
RCV
(Mo) = (Cu% * 43.2) + (Ag(ppm) * 0.20) + + (MoS2% * 170.85)
RCV
(MSI) = (Cu% * 43.2) + (Ag(ppm) * 0.20) + + (MoS2% * 170.85)
Other
assumptions:
In
2012, Snowden Mining Consultants (Snowden) used Geovias WhittleTM pit optimizer to determine a constraining open pit shell for
the CuMo deposit. Optimization parameters were from Thompson Creek mine (a comparable open pit molybdenum project located in Idaho).
The optimization parameters included mill feed, mining and processing costs of $9.28 per processed ton, overall pit slope angles of 45,
metallurgical recoveries as shown above and appropriate dilution and offsite costs and royalties. The commodity prices used in 2012 by
Snowden for restraining the resource were Mo at $25/lb, Cu at $3/lb, Ag at $20/oz and W at $10/lb. This pit constraint is still valid.
Once block inside the constraining pit were identified RCV values were recalculated using the current metal prices.
In
the mineral resource estimate table above the base case of $5.00/t RCV cut-off is used and is selected based on operating costs and the
results of grade improvement using a mineral sorting process. The $5.00 cut-off is suggested to separate waste from material that is
fed into the sorters. From the sorters, only mill feed above an economic cut-off would be sent for immediate processing and is used in
the economic analysis.
An
estimate for rhenium (Re) and sulfur (S) associated with the MoS2 was completed using linear regression of MoS2
vs. Re and MoS2 vs S to show the average grades of Re and S that would be contained with MoS2 within each block.
The Re and S were not used to determine the RCV value of resources.
There
has been no changes to the disclosed mineral resource in the past 5 fiscal years.
**Effect
of Material Regulations on the current operations of the Company.**
The
Companys current activities are subject to a number of laws and regulations, in particular including those with respect to exploration
on federal lands (under the jurisdiction of the United States Forest Service (USFS)) and corresponding State of Idaho and local/Boise
County laws and regulations. These laws and regulations, and permits/approvals granted by governmental entities thereunder, govern how
the Company must conduct surveys and how it can build and maintain roads and drill pads, access the properties, conduct drilling and
related exploration, transport staff and materials, secure, use and conserve water, protect identified species of flora and fauna, limit
land disturbance, protect surface and groundwater, comply with mitigation requirements, and reclaim affected lands post-exploration.
The Company is also required to post a bond with the USFS for reclamation assurance. Material compliance with these regulations is mandatory
and is critical to the operations of the Company.
On
March 14, 2025, the Company received a Decision Notice and Finding of No Significant Impact from the USFS approving for its Exploration
Plan of Operations by the USFS (pursuant to an Environmental Assessment published by the USFS under the National Environmental Policy
Act of 1970 (NEPA)) for the commencement of drilling and exploration activities. Consequently, the Company can legally undertake exploration
on federal lands in 2025. In addition, material approvals that the Company will need for its planned 2025 exploration activities will
need to come from the Idaho Department of Water Resources, the Idaho Department of Environmental Quality, and Boise County Department
of Roads. The Plan of Operations permits the Company to conduct exploration from April 15 to December 15 each calendar year for a 4-year
period starting in 2025, and the Company believes that each of such additional material approvals will be applied for and received prior
to April 15, 2025. However, the Company notes that if a lawsuit is filed by Non-Governmental Organization (NGOs) or others challenging
the USFS approval, it may not be able to carry out exploration under the Plan of Operations in 2025.
**Significant
encumbrances to and future permitting for the property.**
There
are no legal encumbrances affecting the properties except for the pledges of security under certain notes and debentures.
As
to future permits and approvals beyond exploration, needed for development, construction and operation of a mining project at CuMo, and
assuming that technical and economic evaluation of a project merits such development, the Company first will need to conduct extensive
baseline environmental studies, hydrological studies, additional plant and animal surveys, and related activities required under NEPA
to allow the USFS to publish an Environmental Impact Statement (EIS). If drilling and exploration activities are completed during 2026
(despite the current legal challenges), the Company anticipates that it will begin additional technical analysis for a Preliminary Feasibility
Study (PFS), described below, and commence environmental baseline work during 2025, leading to a PFS publication conceivably within 18
months. If the PFS results are positive, the Company would continue with additional technical work, environmental work, preliminary engineering
work, all in order to develop a Bankable Feasibility Study (BFS) and submit to the federal agency a Plan of Operations for construction,
development and operation of a mining project under an EIS. The Company estimates that with no legal challenges, an EIS could be published
by the USFS as early as 2029. The Company again notes that the current legal challenges from NGOs could potentially prevent exploration
in 2026 and can extend these approximate timelines.

**Internal
Controls and Data Verification**
Shaun
M. Dykes, a former a director and officer of the Company, (the Qualified Person) reviewed the procedures used by ICUMO
and produced a description and an analysis of the results as contained in Section 8 of the TRS. These are standard data verifications
with no limitations.
All
assay results used in the verification process by the Qualified Person were obtained from fully certified analytical laboratories with
signed assay certificates.
The
Qualified Person has reviewed the data collection and verification procedures followed by ICUMO and by third parties on behalf of ICUMO,
and believes these procedures are consistent with industry best practices and acceptable for use in geological and resource modelling.
These
procedures have also been verified by several independent qualified people over the years.
For
more information about quality control/quality assurance and data verification, see Section 8 and Section 9 of the TRS.
The
mineral resources estimated may ultimately be affected by a broad range of environmental, permitting, socio-economic (as discussed in
Section 17 of the TRS), legal, title (as discussed in Section 3 of the TRS), marketing and political factors (as discussed in Section
22 of the TRS). At this time the authors are unaware of any of these factors that could materially affect the mineral resource estimate.
Of course, going forward, relevant factors that could influence the resource estimate include changes to the geological, geotechnical
or geometallurgical models, infill drilling to convert mineral resources to a higher classification, drilling to test for extensions
to known resources, collection of additional bulk density data and significant changes to commodity prices. It should be noted that all
these factors pose potential risk and opportunities to the current mineral resource.
**Current
Planned Working Programs**
**Ore
Sorting and Updated Preliminary Economic Assessment**
Idaho
Copper during 2024 investigated the potential to utilize additional ore sorting technologies to optimize the separation of waste and
low-grade ore from higher grade mill feed post-mining and increase the head grade of ore being fed to a concentrator. The thin-veined
stockwork nature of the CuMo deposit lends itself well to ore sorting, since mineralized veins at CuMo largely carry the metals of interest
and are much different from waste in appearance. A visual scanning exercise of all of the core recovered from previous drilling activities
described herein revealed that up to 84% of the waste and lower grade ore mined can be theoretically separated from higher grade material
through application of ore sorting, versus the 28% separation factor that SRK Consulting (Canada) Inc. (SRK) conservatively
used in its 2020 Preliminary Economic Assessment (PEA). There are over 90 active mines in the world today which utilize
some form of ore sorting.
During
2024, the Company contracted with MineSense, Technologies Ltd., of Vancouver, BC, Canada, who, using their ShovelSense scanning systems,
which employ X-ray fluorescence (the XRF) surface scanning sensor technology, successfully tested ore from CuMo and determined
positively its amenability to ore sorting. These systems are installed directly on mine shovel buckets and scan the blasted material as
the shovel scoops it up, allowing the mine operator, based on cutoff grades, to differentiate ore from waste at the mining face. ShovelSense
is currently being used successfully by at least three large producing copper open pit mines (Highland Valley BC, Copper Mountain BC,
and Carmen de Andacollo Chile). The MineSense agreement is for the sum of $65,000.
Contemporaneously
with this test work, the Company executed a contract with Veracio, Inc., from Salt Lake City, Utah, to scan existing CuMo drill cores
with mobile XRF scanners, in order to confirm that the CuMo deposit is variable in nature and amenable to selective separation by ore
sorting techniques. Veracio has scanned approximately 33,000 feet of core at the Companys leased core storage facility in Idaho,
at a footage rate of $8/foot, and with mobilization and incidentals, the Company has paid or is responsible for a cost of around $275,000.
The
final ore sorting design will likely not only rely on a single sorting pass, but may possibly integrate multiple sorting technologies,
such as combining surface XRF scanning at the mining face on blasted material with downstream penetrative prompt gamma neutron activation
analysis (PGNAA) or pulsed fast thermal neutron activation (PFTNA) scanners installed on the material conveyors, and potentially bulk
particle XRF scanners to finish. The potential combination of different ore sorting technologies and equipment could enable the Company
to optimize the separation of ore from waste, substantially increasing the head grade of mill feed, and thereby reducing the size of
the concentrator. Consequently, this will in theory allow the Company to significantly reduce capital and operating costs.
The
Company initially contracted with SGS Bateman, Inc., (SGS) a noted professional mining industry consulting firm, to undertake
metallurgical test work and act as lead author and Qualified Person(s) (QP), to publish an updated PEA, utilizing ore sorting results
to revise the technical and economic sections of the document. The key terms of the SGS contract are, for an estimated cost of $429,000
(and an initial deposit of $110,000), SGS, and except for ore sorting, SGS was to provide all of the technical input for a Canadian NI-43-101
equivalent Technical Report and a compliant US SK-1300 Technical Report. These reports will include all technical studies including geologic
resources, mineable resources, pit optimization, mine planning and equipment scheduling, metallurgical analysis, concentrator design,
capital and operating cost estimates, and an economic analysis. SGS is currently conducting at its Lakefield, Ontario, Canada laboratories,
metallurgical testwork on representative, post-ore sorting, higher-grade ore samples which were provided by the Company. As to ore sorting,
the Company has engaged Lycopodium, Inc, of Ontario, Canada, for a cost of roughly US$80,000, to provide a QP for expert ore sorting
analysis of the MineSense sorting results which will be incorporated into the updated PEA.
The
Company dismissed SGS Bateman in February 2025 and hired Barr Engineering Inc. (Barr) to act as overall author of and QP
for the updated PEA. SGS Lakefield, however, is continuing with its metallurgical evaluations. The Company is currently discussing with
SGS Bateman the outstanding invoices, paid this far and the cost of any remaining work by SGS Lakefield. The Barr contract is for $433,000.
Expected budget for all of the work identified above is roughly $1 million. The updated PEA is anticipated to be published in mid-2026.
| 11 | |
**Additional
Exploration and Metallurgical Studies; Pre-Feasibility Study**
Following
completion of the updated PEA, and under the approval by the USFS of approval of the Companys Exploration Plan of Operations.
The Company intends to procced with additional exploration, including infill, expansion, and geotechnical pit wall drilling. The infill
work is intended to enable the Company to reclassify resources currently labeled as Inferred, to the level of Indicated, or Measured
and Indicated. The Company has tentatively budgeted $12 million for this drilling and exploration work.
The
Company also plans to initiate additional metallurgical studies to (1) determine the optimal concentrator design for both copper-silver,
and molybdenum concentrate circuits, and (2) investigate the potential to recover copper and molybdenum via heap leaching of lower grade
ore that is stockpiled and not immediately processed at the concentrator. The Company has identified a number of outside consultants
that can be engaged for both of these studies. In total, the Company expects that these studies will cost approximately $1,000,000 and
will take on the order of four (4) months to complete.
These
undertakings, along with a number of additional studies, are part of the Companys plan to develop an independent third-party Pre-Feasibility
Study (PFS) for the CuMo Project. In addition to the exploration and metallurgical work, explained above, the PFS will include expenditures
for infrastructure and road improvements, environmental and permitting work, preliminary engineering, community, and public/government
relations work, and potentially costs for expansion of the current land position.
**Competitive
Position in the Industry**
The
mineral exploration, development, and production industry are largely unintegrated. The Company competes with other exploration companies
looking to acquire and obtain financing for the exploration and development of mineral resource properties. While the Company competes
with other exploration companies to locate and acquire mineral resource properties, it may also compete with them for the removal or
sales of mineral products from its properties if it should eventually discover their presence in quantities sufficient to make production
economically feasible. Readily available markets for the sale of mineral products only sometimes exist for all mineral commodities; however,
the principal CuMo Project commodities of copper, silver and molybdenum are traded on international exchanges and therefore, at a minimum
a terminal market exists for which these commodities can be delivered and sold.
**Competition**
ICUMOs
competition includes large, established mining companies with substantial capabilities and more significant financial and technical resources.
As a result of this competition, it may have to compete for financing and may need help to acquire the funding on terms it considers
acceptable. ICUMO may also have to compete with other mining companies to recruit and retain qualified managerial and technical employees.
If ICUMO cannot compete successfully for financing or qualified employees, its exploration programs may be slowed down or suspended,
which may cause it to cease operations as a company.
**Employees**
As
of the date of this Report, other than certain executives, ICUMO has no employees. ICUMO does not have or maintain any employee benefit
plans or similar plans under any applicable laws.

and Restated Articles of Incorporation to effect a reverse stock split of the Companys issued and outstanding Common Stock at
a ratio of not less than 1-for-2 and not more than 1-for-30, with the exact ratio to be determined by the Board in its sole discretion.
On
September 10, 2025, the Board determined to effectuate
1-for-20 reverse stock split (the Reverse Stock Split) and
filed a Certificate of Change to the Companys Amended and Restated Articles of Incorporation on October 15, 2025. The Reverse
Stock Split became effective on December 15, 2025. All shares and per share amounts in the financial statements have been retrospectively
adjusted for all periods presented to reflect the Reverse Stock Split.
*International
Energy & Mineral Resources Investment Company Limited Lawsuit*
On
September 12, 2025, International Energy & Mineral Resources Investment Company Limited (IEMR), a shareholder of the
Company, filed a lawsuit in the Fourth Judicial District of Idaho seeking a declaratory judgment that the Lock-Up Agreement dated December
21, 2022, and its First Amendment dated March 30, 2024 (collectively, the Lock-Up Agreement) have terminated according
to their terms and that IEMR may freely trade its shares.
The
Company maintains that IEMR remains subject to the restrictions of the Lock-Up Agreement and filed its response to the lawsuit on September
30, 2025. On November 4, 2025, IEMR filed a motion for summary judgement on its declaratory judgement claim. The Companys response
in opposition to the motion for summary judgement is due on January 29, 2026. On that date, IEMR moved to dismiss the complaint without
prejudice, and the court issued a stipulation dismissing the case.

**Risks
Related to Our Business**
**Our
ability to continue the exploration, permitting, development, and construction of the project, and to continue as a going concern, will
depend in part on our ability to obtain suitable financing.**
We
have limited financial resources. We will need external financing to develop and construct the project and to complete the permitting
process. Although the Companys current capital resources and liquidity has included approximately $4 million in funding since
2023, we project that we will need approximately $12 million for fiscal year 2027. We expect to seek additional financing through
joint ventures, capital markets, private financing sources, and the exercise of outstanding warrants and options.
**We
do not currently have sufficient funds or committed financing necessary to undertake a Preliminary Feasibility Study (PFS), a Bankable
Feasibility Study (BFS) or commence construction of the Project, and we may be unable to raise the necessary funds.**
The
United States Forest Service (USFS) published a Final Decision Notice (DN) and Finding of no Significant Impact (FONSI) in the first
quarter of 2025, approving the Companys Drilling Plan of Operations (PoO). The PoO, along with satisfying bonding and other conditions,
would allow the Company to carry out drilling and additional exploration activities at its Property, in conjunction with a Preliminary
Feasibility Study (PFS). The estimated budget for the PFS is $40 million.
Following
the PFS, the Company will prepare a Bankable Feasibility Study (BFS) incorporating permitting (including a federal Environmental Impact
Statement (EIS)), Project Design Engineering, baseline environmental work, and other studies, reports and documents necessary to reach
an investment decision. Following a positive investment decision, the Company would seek funding to build the Project. According to the
TRS, as of December 31, 2020, the total initial capital cost estimate for the Project was approximately $1,263 million. Although we have
not updated our capital cost estimates, based on significant inflation and increased financing costs since 2020, we expect the actual
cost estimates to be higher than the 2020 estimate. These cost estimates may change materially due to inflation, competition or other
unforeseen challenges at the Project site.
We
do not currently have sufficient funds or committed financing to fund the PFS, the BFS, or commence construction of the Project. Our
ability to obtain sufficient funds or committed financing may be impacted by various factors, including, but not limited to, our ability
to raise additional funds at acceptable rates or at all; unfavorable interest rates; the incurrence of additional debt, which may be
subject to certain restrictive covenants; restrictions on our use of government funding; dilution resulting from additional equity financing;
our ability to control certain property as a result of our entry into joint ventures or other similar arrangements; and the loss of certain
economic benefits of our property as a result of our entry into royalty agreements.
Our
failure to obtain sufficient financing could result in the delay or indefinite postponement of exploration, permitting, development,
construction, or production at the Project. The cost and terms of such financing may significantly reduce the expected benefits from
development of the Project and/or render such development uneconomic. There can be no assurance that additional capital or other types
of financing will be available when needed or that, if available, the terms of such financing will be favorable. Our failure to obtain
financing could have a material adverse effect on our growth strategy and results of operations and financial condition.
**The
Company does not have a full staff of technical people and relies upon outside consultants to provide critical services.**
The
Company has a relatively small staff and depends upon its ability to hire consultants with the appropriate background and expertise.
The Companys inability to hire the appropriate consultants at the appropriate time could adversely impact the Companys
ability to advance its exploration and permitting activities. For example, the Company will need to hire additional staff and consultants
in order to commence construction of the project.
**We
have no history of commercially producing metals from our mineral properties and there can be no assurance that we will successfully
establish mining operations or profitably produce metals.**
The
project is not in production or currently under construction, and we have no ongoing mining operations or revenue from mining operations.
Mineral exploration and development has a high degree of risk and few properties that are explored are ultimately developed into producing
mines. The future development of the project will require obtaining federal and state permits and financing and the construction and
operation of mines, processing plants and related infrastructure. As a result, we are subject to all of the risks associated with establishing
new mining operations and business enterprises, including, among others:
| 
| 
| 
The
need to obtain necessary environmental and other governmental approvals and permits, and the timing and conditions of those approvals
and permits; | |
| 
| 
| 
| |
| 
| 
| 
The
potential that future exploration and development of mineral claims on or near the project site may be impacted by litigation and/or
consent decrees entered into by previous owners of mineral rights; | |
| 
| 
| 
| |
| 
| 
| 
The
availability and cost of funds to finance construction and development activities; | |
| 
| 
| 
| |
| 
| 
| 
The
timing and cost, which can be considerable, of the construction of mining and processing facilities as well as other related infrastructure; | |
| 
| 
| 
| |
| 
| 
| 
Potential
opposition from non-governmental organizations, environmental groups or local groups which may delay or prevent development activities; | |
| 14 | |
| 
| 
| 
Potential
increases in construction and operating costs due to changes in the cost of labor, fuel, power, materials and supplies, services,
and foreign exchange rates; | |
| 
| 
| 
| |
| 
| 
| 
The
availability and cost of skilled labor and mining equipment; and | |
| 
| 
| 
| |
| 
| 
| 
The
availability and cost of appropriate smelting and/or refining arrangements. | |
The
costs, timing and complexities of mine construction and development are increased by the remote location of the project, with additional
challenges related thereto, including access, water and power supply, and other support infrastructure. Cost estimates may increase significantly
as more detailed engineering work and studies are completed. New mining operations commonly experience unexpected costs, problems and
delays during development, construction, and mine start-up. In addition, delays in the commencement of mineral production often occur.
Accordingly, there are no assurances that our activities will result in profitable mining operations, that we will successfully establish
mining operations, or that we will profitably produce metals at the Project.
In
addition, there is no assurance that our mineral exploration activities will result in any discoveries of new ore bodies. If further
mineralization is discovered there is also no assurance that the mineralized material would be economical for commercial production.
Discovery of mineral deposits is dependent upon a number of factors and significantly influenced by the technical skill of the exploration
personnel involved. The commercial viability of a mineral deposit is also dependent upon a number of factors which are beyond our control,
including the attributes of the deposit, commodity prices, government policies and regulation, and environmental protection requirements.
Mineral
resource exploration and, if warranted, development, is a speculative business, characterized by a number of significant risks, including,
among other things, unprofitable efforts resulting not only from the failure to discover mineral deposits but also from finding mineral
deposits, which, though present, are insufficient in volume and/or grade to return a profit from production. There is no certainty that
the expenditures that have been made and may be made in the future by the Company related to the exploration of its properties will result
in discoveries of mineralized material in commercially viable quantities.
Most
exploration projects do not result in the discovery of commercially viable mineral deposits and no assurance can be given that any particular
level of recovery or mineral reserves will in fact be realized or that any identified mineral deposit will ever qualify as a commercially
viable deposit which can be legally and economically exploited.
**The
Companys mineral resource and mineral reserve estimates may not be indicative of the actual copper that can be mined.**
Assay
results from core drilling or reverse circulation drilling can be subject to errors at the laboratory analyzing the drill samples. In
addition, reverse circulation or core drilling may lead to samples which may not be representative of the copper or other metals in the
entire deposit. Mineral resource and mineral reserve estimates are based on interpretation of available facts and extrapolation or interpolation
of data and may not be representative of the actual deposit. In the context of mineral exploration and future development, there is inherent
variability between duplicate samples taken adjacent to each other and between sampling points that cannot be reasonably eliminated.
There may also be unknown geologic details that have not been identified or correctly appreciated at the current level of delineation
in these types of investigations. This results in uncertainties that cannot be reasonably eliminated from the estimation process. Some
of the resulting variances can have a positive effect and others can have a negative effect on mining and processing operations. The
calculations of amounts of mineralized material within mineral resources and mineral reserves are estimates only. Actual recoveries of
copper and other potential by-products from mineral resources and mineral reserves may be lower than those indicated by test work. Any
material change in the quantity of mineralization, grade, tonnage or stripping ratio, or the price of copper and other potential by-products,
may affect the economic viability of a mineral property. In addition, there can be no assurance that the recoveries of copper and other
potential by-products in small-scale laboratory tests will be duplicated in larger scale pilot plant tests under on-site conditions or
during production. Notwithstanding the results of any metallurgical testing or pilot plant tests for metallurgy and other factors, there
remains the possibility that the ore may not react in commercial production in the same manner as it did in testing.
Mining
and metallurgy are an inexact science and, accordingly, there always remains an element of risk that a mine may not prove to be commercially
viable. Until a deposit is actually mined and processed, the quantity of mineral reserves, mineral resources and grades must be considered
as estimates only. In addition, the determination and valuation of mineral reserves and mineral resources is based on, among other things,
assumed metal prices. Market fluctuations and metal prices may render mineral resources and mineral reserves uneconomic. Any material
change in quantity of mineral reserves, mineral resources, grade, tonnage, percent extraction of those mineral reserves recoverable by
underground mining techniques or stripping ratio for those mineral reserves recoverable by open pit mining techniques may affect the
economic viability of a mining project, including the project and any future operations in which the Company has a direct or indirect
interest. Any or all of these factors may lead to mineral resource and/or mineral reserve estimates being overstated, the mineable copper
that can be received from the project being less than the mineral resource and mineral reserve estimates, and the project not being a
viable project.
If
the Companys mineral resource and mineral reserve estimates for the project are not indicative of actual grades of copper and
other potential by-products, the Company will have to continue to explore for a viable deposit or cease operations.
| 15 | |
**The
Company faces numerous uncertainties in estimating economically recoverable mineral reserves and mineral resources, and inaccuracies
in estimates could result in lower than expected revenues, higher than expected costs and decreased profitability.**
Information
concerning our mining properties in *Item 2, Properties* has been prepared in accordance with the requirements of S-K 1300. A mineral
is economically recoverable when the price at which it can be sold exceeds the costs and expenses of mining, processing and selling the
mineral. Mineral reserve and mineral resource estimates of the copper and other minerals in our mining properties are based on many factors,
including engineering, economic and geological data assembled and analyzed by internal staff and third parties, which includes various
engineers and geologists, the area and volume covered by mining rights, assumptions regarding extraction rates and duration of mining
operations, and the quality of in-place mineral reserves and mineral resources. The mineral reserve and mineral resource estimates as
to both quantity and quality are updated from time to time to reflect, among other matters, new data received. According to the TRS,
as of December 31, 2020, the total initial capital cost estimate for the project was approximately $1,263 million. The Company has not
updated its capital cost estimates as of January 31, 2025, however, based on significant inflation and increased financing costs since
2020, the Company expects the actual cost estimates to be higher than the 2020 estimate. These cost estimates may change materially due
to inflation, competition or other unforeseen challenges at the Project site.
There
are numerous uncertainties inherent in estimating quantities and qualities of minerals and costs to mine recoverable mineral reserves
and mineral resources, including many factors beyond the Companys control. Estimates of mineral reserves and mineral resources
necessarily depend upon a number of variable factors and assumptions, any one of which may, if incorrect, result in an estimate that
varies considerably from actual results. These factors and assumptions include, among others:
| 
| 
| 
Geologic
and mining conditions, including the Companys ability to access certain mineral deposits as a result of the nature of the
geologic formations of the deposits or other factors, which may not be fully identified by available exploration data; | |
| 
| 
| 
| |
| 
| 
| 
Demand
for the Companys minerals; | |
| 
| 
| 
| |
| 
| 
| 
Contractual
arrangements, operating costs and capital expenditures; | |
| 
| 
| 
| |
| 
| 
| 
Development
and reclamation costs; | |
| 
| 
| 
| |
| 
| 
| 
Mining
technology and processing improvements; | |
| 
| 
| 
| |
| 
| 
| 
The
effects of regulation by governmental agencies and adverse judicial decisions; | |
| 
| 
| 
| |
| 
| 
| 
The
ability to obtain, maintain and renew all required permits; | |
| 
| 
| 
| |
| 
| 
| 
Employee
health and safety; and | |
| 
| 
| 
| |
| 
| 
| 
The
Companys ability to convert all or any part of mineral resources to economically extractable mineral reserves. | |
As
a result, actual tonnage recovered from identified mining properties and estimated revenues, expenditures and cash flows with respect
to mineral reserves and mineral resources may vary materially from estimates. Thus, these estimates may not accurately reflect the Companys
actual minable or recoverable mineral reserves and mineral resources. Any material inaccuracy in estimates related to the Companys
mineral reserves or mineral resources could result in lower than expected revenues, higher than expected costs or decreased profitability
and changes in future cash flow, which could materially and adversely affect the Companys business, results of operations, financial
position and cash flows. Additionally, reserve and resource estimates may be adversely affected in the future by interpretations of,
or changes to, the SECs property disclosure requirements for mining companies.
**The
Company has a history of net losses and expects losses to continue for the foreseeable future.**
We
have a history of net losses, and we expect to incur net losses for the foreseeable future. The project has not advanced to the commercial
production stage, and we have no history of earnings or cash flow from operations. We expect to continue to incur net losses unless and
until such time the project commences commercial production and generates sufficient revenues to fund continuing operations. The development
of our mineral properties to achieve production will require the commitment of substantial financial resources. The amount and timing
of expenditures will depend on a number of factors, including the progress of ongoing exploration and development, the results of consultants
analyses and recommendations, the rate at which operating losses are incurred, the process of obtaining required government permits and
approvals, responding to opposition to the project, including potential litigation, the availability and cost of financing, the participation
of our partners, and the execution of any sale or joint venture agreements with strategic partners. These factors, and others, are beyond
our control. There is no assurance that we will be profitable in the future.
**We
have a limited property portfolio.**
At
present, our only material mineral property is the interest that we hold through our subsidiary in the project. Unless we acquire or
develop additional mineral properties, we will be solely dependent upon this property. If no additional mineral properties are acquired
by us, any adverse development affecting our operations and further development at the project may have a material adverse effect on
our financial condition and results of operations.
| 16 | |
**We
are subject to National Environmental Policy Act of 1970 (NEPA) review and may be unable to obtain or retain necessary permits, which
could adversely affect our operations.**
Our
mining and exploration development activities are subject to extensive permitting requirements which can be costly to comply with and
involve extended timelines. Specifically, we are subject to NEPA review. Formal review under NEPA is extensive and involves multiple
actions, including public scoping, coordination with cooperating agencies, the release of environmental assessments and impact statements
followed by public comment and objections, potential administrative objections, and the issuance of a final record of decision. Delays
in the NEPA process, such as we are unable to timely obtain a record of decision from the United States Forest Service or fail to obtain
requisite ancillary permits, may adversely impact our operations. Additionally, to the extent that we are granted necessary permits,
we may be subject to a number of Project requirements or conditions including the installation or undertaking of programs to safeguard
protected species and their habitat, sites, or otherwise limit the impacts of our operations. Previously obtained permits may be suspended
or revoked for a variety of reasons. While we strive to comply with and conclude the NEPA review process, and obtain and comply with
all necessary permits and approvals, any failure to do so may have negative impacts upon our business or financial condition, such as
increased delays, curtailment of our operations, increased costs, implementation of mitigation or remediation requirements, the potential
for litigation or regulatory action, and damage to our reputation.
**We
are subject to extensive environmental laws and regulations, where compliance failure may impact our operations.**
Our
mining, exploration, and development operations are subject to extensive environmental, health, and safety laws and regulations in the
jurisdictions in which we operate and include those relating to the discharge and remediation of materials in the environment, waste
and materials management, and natural resource protection and preservation. Numerous governmental authorities, such as the U.S. Environmental
Protection Agency, and analogous state agencies, have the authority to enforce compliance with these laws and regulations and the permits
issued thereunder, oftentimes requiring difficult and costly response actions. Certain environmental laws, such as CERCLA, impose strict,
joint and several liability for costs required to remediate and restore sites where hazardous substances have been stored or released,
including sites subject to legacy contamination. We may be required to remediate contaminated properties currently owned and operated
by us regardless of whether such contamination resulted from our actions or from the conduct of others. Additionally, claims for damages
to persons or property, including damages to natural resources, may result from the environmental, health, and safety impacts of our
operations.
We
may incur substantial costs to maintain compliance with environmental, health, and safety laws and regulations and such costs could increase
if existing laws and regulations are revised or reinterpreted or if new laws or regulations become applicable to our operations. Failure
to comply with these environmental, health, and safety laws and regulations may result in the imposition of restrictions on our operations,
administrative civil or criminal liabilities, injunctions, third-party property damage or personal injury claims, investigatory cleanup
or other remedial obligations, or other adverse effects on our business, financial condition, or operations. Current and future legislative,
regulatory, and judicial action could result in changes to operating permits, material changes in operations, and increased capital and
operating expenditures, among others.
Our
operations are also subject to extensive laws and regulations governing worker health and safety and require us to ensure our employees
receive adequate training and guidance to follow applicable environmental, health, and safety policies, procedures, and programs. Failure
to comply with applicable legal requirements may cause us to incur significant legal liability, penalties, or fines, result in reputational
damage, and negatively impact our employee retention. Our mines will be inspected on a regular basis by government regulators who may
issue orders and citations if they believe a violation of applicable mining health and safety laws has occurred. In such cases, we may
be subject to fines, penalties, or sanctions, and our operations temporarily shut down. Additionally, future changes in applicable laws
and regulations, including more rigorous enforcement, could have an adverse impact on operations and result in increased material expenditures
to achieve compliance.
**Our
operations, including permitting, may be subject to legal challenges which could result in adverse impacts to our business and financial
condition.**
Our
mining, exploration, and development operations, and the permits required for such activities, may be subject to legal challenges at
the international, federal, state, and local level by various parties. Such legal challenges may allege non-compliance with laws and
regulations or the improper grant of permits by regulatory authorities. On June 25, 2025, several non-governmental organizations filed
a lawsuit challenging the USFS decision to grant the Company an exploration operating permit at its CuMo Project (as defined herein).
Even if we prevail, the litigation may be time-consuming and expensive, diverting managements attention from core business operations
and potentially causing delays in expansion plans or regulatory approvals. There can be no assurance regarding the outcome of this litigation
or its potential impact on our business, financial condition, and results of operations.
Legal
challenges may result in adverse impacts to permitting our planned operations such as increased defense costs, the performance of additional
mitigation and remedial activities, or significant delays to our project. We may also be subject to more localized opposition, including
efforts by environmental groups, which could attract negative publicity or have an adverse impact on our reputation.
Additionally,
our project is located in a district with significant impacts from legacy mining operations prior to our acquisition of and tenure at
the sites.
**Our
operations are subject to climate change risks.**
Climate
change may result in various and presently unknown physical risks, such as the increased frequency or intensity of extreme weather events
or changes in meteorological and hydrological patterns that could adversely impact our business. Such physical risks may result in damage
to our facilities causing our operations to temporarily slow down or come to a stop. Moreover, the physical risks associated with climate
change could have financial implications for our business, such as increased capital or operating costs, and additional expenditures
to maintain or increase the resiliency of our facilities and implement contingency measures. Moreover, our planned operations may be
subject to challenge on the basis that they contribute adversely to climate change.
| 17 | |
**Mineral
prices are subject to dramatic and unpredictable fluctuations.**
The
Company expects to derive revenues from the sale of its mineral resource properties or from the extraction and sale of molybdenum, silver,
copper, and rhenium, and associated minerals. The price of those commodities has fluctuated widely in recent years. It is affected by
numerous factors beyond the Companys control, including international, economic, and political trends, expectations of inflation,
currency exchange fluctuations, interest rates, global or regional consumptive patterns, speculative activities, and increased production
due to new extraction developments and improved extraction and production methods. The effect of these factors on the price of copper
and other metals, and therefore the economic viability of any of the Companys exploration properties and projects, cannot accurately
be predicted.
**The
Companys title to its mineral properties and its validity may be disputed in the future by others claiming title to all or part
of such properties.**
The
validity of mining rights may, in certain cases, be uncertain and subject to being contested. The Companys mining rights, claims
and other land titles, particularly title to undeveloped properties, may be defective and open to being challenged by governmental authorities
and local communities.
The
Companys properties consist of various mining concessions in the United States. Under U.S. law, the concessions may be subject
to prior unregistered agreements or transfers, which may affect the validity of the Companys ownership of such concessions. A
claim by a third party asserting prior unregistered agreements or transfer on any of the Companys mineral properties, especially
where commercially viable mineral reserves have been located, could adversely result in the Company losing commercially viable mineral
reserves. Even if a claim is unsuccessful, it may potentially affect the Companys current activities due to the high costs of
defending against such claims and its impact on senior managements time. If the Company loses a commercially viable mineral reserve,
such a loss could lower the Companys revenues or cause it to cease operations if this mineral reserve represented all or a significant
portion of the Companys operations at the time of the loss.
Certain
of the Companys properties may be subject to the rights or the asserted rights of various community stakeholders. The presence
of community stakeholders may also impact on the Companys ability to explore, develop or, in potentially the future, operate its
mining properties. In certain circumstances, consultation with such stakeholders may be required and the outcome may affect the Companys
ability to explore, develop or operate its mining properties.
Certain
of the Companys mineral rights consist of unpatented mining claims. Unpatented mining claims present unique title risks due to
the rules for validity and the opportunities for third-party challenge. These claims are also subject to legal uncertainty.
**Risk
of Termination or Non-Completion of Mining Claims Agreements Due to Force Majeure.**
Fifty-four
(54) of the 126 unpatented mining claims contained within the Companys land package are owned by a third party who has granted
the Company the option to acquire these claims pursuant to a Mining Claims Agreement dated July 6, 2017, (the MCA), which
was modified by the First Amendment to the MCA dated August 19, 2025 (the Amendment). The MCA is currently suspended due
to the occurrence of a Force Majeure event. Under the terms of the MCA, the Force Majeure provisions allow for the temporary suspension
of obligations when events beyond the control of the partiessuch as natural disasters, political instability, or other unforeseen
circumstances including actions or inaction, or lawsuits which delay or prevent receipt of governmental permits or the right to conduct
operations thereunder occur. While the MCA remains in place during the suspension period, there is no assurance that the Force
Majeure event will be resolved in a timely manner or at all. If the underlying circumstances persist indefinitely or are not satisfactorily
resolved, the purchase and sale of the mining claims may never materialize. This could materially and adversely affect our ability to
acquire or develop the underlying mining assets, impact our strategic growth plans, and limit future revenue opportunities.
**The
Company faces substantial competition within the mining industry from other mineral companies with much greater financial and technical
resources and the Company may not be able to effectively compete.**
The
mineral resource industry is intensively competitive in all of its phases, and the Company competes with many companies possessing much
greater financial and technical research resources. Competition is particularly intense with respect to the acquisition of desirable
undeveloped copper and gold properties. The principal competitive factors in the acquisition of such undeveloped properties include the
staff and data necessary to identify, investigate and purchase such properties, and the financial resources necessary to acquire and
develop such properties. Competition could adversely affect the Companys ability to advance the project or to acquire suitable
prospects for exploration in the future on terms it considers acceptable. Increased competition could adversely affect the Companys
ability to attract necessary capital funding or acquire an interest in additional properties.
**The
Company depends on key personnel for critical management decisions and industry contacts but does not maintain key person insurance.**
The
Company is dependent on a relatively small number of key personnel, the loss of any of whom could have an adverse effect on the operations
of the Company. The Companys success is dependent to a great degree on its ability to attract and retain highly qualified management
personnel. The loss of any such key personnel, through incapacity or otherwise, would require the Company to seek and retain other qualified
personnel and could compromise the pace and success of its exploration and permitting activities. The Company does not maintain key person
insurance in the event of a loss of any such key personnel.
| 18 | |
**Certain
Company directors and officers also serve as officers and/or directors of other mining companies, which may give rise to conflicts.**
Certain
Company directors and officers are also directors, officers or shareholders of other companies that are similarly engaged in the business
of acquiring, developing and exploiting natural resource properties. Such associations may give rise to conflicts of interest from time
to time. Directors and officers of the Company with conflicts of interest are subject to and are required to follow the procedures set
out in applicable corporate and securities legislation, regulations, rules and the Companys policies.
**The
Companys business involves risks for which the Company may not be adequately insured, if it is insured at all.**
During
exploration and development of, and production from, mineral properties, certain risks, and in particular, unexpected or unusual geological
operating conditions including landslides, ground failures, fires, flooding and earthquakes may occur. It is not always possible to fully
insure against such risks. The Company does not currently have insurance against all such risks and may decide not to take out insurance
against all such risks as a result of high premiums or other reasons. Should such liabilities arise, they could reduce or eliminate any
future profitability and result in increasing costs and a decline in the value of the securities of the Company.
Additionally,
the Company is not insured against most environmental risks. Insurance against all environmental risks (including potential liability
for pollution or other hazards as a result of the disposal of waste products by third parties occurring as part of historic exploration
and production) has not been generally available to companies within the industry. The Company periodically evaluates the cost and coverage
of the insurance that is available against certain environmental risks to determine if it would be appropriate to obtain such insurance.
Without such insurance, or with limited amounts of such insurance, and should the Company become subject to environmental liabilities,
the payment of such liabilities would reduce or eliminate its available funds or could exceed the funds the Company has to pay such liabilities
and could result in bankruptcy. Should the Company be unable to fully fund the remedial cost of an environmental problem, it might be
required to enter into costly interim compliance measures pending completion of the required remedy.
**A
shortage of supplies and equipment, or the inability to obtain such supplies and equipment when needed and at expected prices, could
adversely affect the Companys ability to operate its business.**
The
Company is dependent on various supplies and equipment to carry out its activities. The shortage of such supplies, equipment and parts,
or the inability to obtain such supplies and equipment when needed, whether as a result of inflated costs, supply chain disruptions or
other reasons, could have a material adverse effect on the Companys ability to carry out its activities and therefore have a material
adverse effect on the cost of doing business.
**Risks
Related to Our Industry**
**Resource
exploration and development is a high risk, speculative business.**
Resource
exploration and development is a speculative business, characterized by a high number of failures. Substantial expenditures are required
to discover new deposits and to develop the infrastructure, mining and processing facilities at any site chosen for mining. Resource
exploration and development also involves a high degree of risk, which even a combination of experience, knowledge and careful evaluation
may not be able to adequately mitigate. Few properties that are explored are ultimately developed into producing mines, and there is
no assurance that commercial quantities of ore will be discovered on any of the Companys exploration properties. There is also
no assurance that, even if commercial quantities of ore are discovered, a mineral property will be brought into commercial production,
or if brought into production, that it will be profitable. The discovery of mineral deposits is dependent upon a number of factors, including
the technical skill of the exploration personnel involved. The commercial viability of a mineral deposit is also dependent upon, among
a number of other factors, its size, grade, proximity to infrastructure, current metal prices, and government regulations, including
regulations relating to required permits, royalties, allowable production, importing and exporting of minerals and environmental protection.
The exact effect of these factors cannot be accurately predicted, but any one of these factors, or the combination of any of these factors,
may prevent the Company from receiving an adequate return on invested capital. In addition, depending on the type of mining operation
involved, several years can elapse from the initial phase of drilling until commercial operations are commenced. Some ore reserves may
become unprofitable to develop if there are unfavorable long-term market price fluctuations in gold or other metals, or if there are
significant increases in operating or capital costs. Most of the above factors are beyond the Companys control, and it is difficult
to ensure that the exploration or development programs proposed by the Company will result in a profitable commercial mining operation.
| 19 | |
**Mineral
exploration and development is subject to numerous industry operating hazards and risks, many of which are beyond the Companys
control and any one of which may have an adverse effect on its financial condition and operations.**
The
project, and any future operations in which the Company has a direct or indirect interest, will be subject to all the hazards and risks
normally incidental to resource companies and mining in general. Environmental hazards, unusual or unexpected geological operating conditions,
such as rock bursts, structural cave-ins and landslides, fires, earthquakes and flooding, power outages, labor disruptions, industrial
accidents such as explosions, unexpected mining dilution, metallurgical and other processing issues, metal losses and periodic interruptions
due to inclement or hazardous weather conditions, and the inability to obtain suitable or adequate machinery, equipment or labor, are
some of the industry operating risks involved in the conduct of exploration programs and the operation of mines. If any of these events
were to occur, they could cause injury or loss of life, environmental damage, operational delays, monetary losses and/or severe damage
to or destruction of mineral properties, production facilities or other properties. As a result, the Company could be the subject of
a regulatory investigation, potentially leading to penalties and suspension of operations. In addition, the Company may have to make
expensive repairs and could be subject to legal liability as an outcome of regulatory enforcement. The occurrence of any of these operating
risks and hazards may have an adverse effect on the Companys financial condition and operations, and correspondingly on the value
and price of the Companys common shares.
The
Company may not be able to obtain insurance to cover these risks at affordable premiums or at all. Insurance against certain environmental
risks, including potential liability for pollution or other hazards as a result of operations or other mining activities, is not generally
available to the Company or to other companies within the mining industry. The Company may suffer a materially adverse effect on its
business if it incurs losses related to any significant events that are not covered by its insurance policies. Please also see, among
other things, the risk factor found under the subheading The Companys business involves risks for which the Company may
not be adequately insured, if it is insured at all above.
**Metal
prices have fluctuated widely in the past and are expected to continue to do so in the future, which may adversely affect the amount
of revenues derived from future commercial production.**
The
commercial feasibility of the project and the Companys ability to arrange funding to conduct its planned exploration projects
is dependent on, among other things, the price of copper and other potential by-products. Depending on the price to be received for any
minerals produced, the Company may determine that it is impractical to commence or continue commercial production. A reduction in the
price of copper or other potential by-products may prevent the project from being economically mined or result in the write-off of assets
whose value is impaired as a result of low copper or other metals prices.
Future
revenues, if any, are expected to be in large part derived from the future mining and sale of copper and other potential by-products
or interests related thereto. The prices of these commodities fluctuate and are affected by numerous factors beyond the Companys
control, including, among others:
| 
| 
| 
International
economic and political conditions; | |
| 
| 
| 
| |
| 
| 
| 
Central
bank purchases and sales; | |
| 
| 
| 
| |
| 
| 
| 
Expectations
of inflation or deflation; | |
| 
| 
| 
| |
| 
| 
| 
International
currency exchange rates; | |
| 
| 
| 
| |
| 
| 
| 
Interest
rates; | |
| 
| 
| 
| |
| 
| 
| 
Global
or regional consumptive patterns; | |
| 
| 
| 
| |
| 
| 
| 
Speculative
activities; | |
| 
| 
| 
| |
| 
| 
| 
Levels
of supply and demand; | |
| 
| 
| 
| |
| 
| 
| 
Increased
production due to new mine developments; | |
| 
| 
| 
| |
| 
| 
| 
Decreased
production due to mine closures; | |
| 
| 
| 
| |
| 
| 
| 
Improved
mining and production methods; | |
| 
| 
| 
| |
| 
| 
| 
Availability
and costs of metal substitutes; | |
| 
| 
| 
| |
| 
| 
| 
Metal
stock levels maintained by producers and others; and | |
| 
| 
| 
| |
| 
| 
| 
Inventory
carrying costs. | |
The
effect of these factors on the price of copper and other potential by-products cannot be accurately predicted. If the price of copper
and other potential by-products decreases, the value of the Companys assets would be adversely affected, thereby adversely impacting
the value and price of the Companys common shares.
While
the price of copper has recently been strong, there can be no assurance that copper prices will remain at such levels or be such that
the project, and any future operations in which the Company has a direct or indirect interest, will be mined at a profit.
| 20 | |
**Rising
metal prices encourage mining exploration, development, and construction activity, which in the past has increased demand for and cost
of contract mining services and equipment.**
Increases
in metal prices tend to encourage increases in mining exploration, development, and construction activities. During past expansions,
demand for and the cost of contract exploration, development and construction services and equipment have increased as well. Increased
demand for and cost of services and equipment could cause project costs to increase materially, resulting in delays if services or equipment
cannot be obtained in a timely manner due to inadequate availability, and increased potential for scheduling difficulties and cost increases
due to the need to coordinate the availability of services or equipment, any of which could materially increase project exploration,
development, or construction costs, result in project delays, or both. There can be no assurance that increased costs may not adversely
affect the exploration and/or development of our mineral properties in the future.
**Global
financial markets can have a profound impact on the global economy in general and on the mining industry in particular.**
Many
industries, including the copper and other base metal mining industries, are impacted by global market conditions. Some of the key impacts
of financial market turmoil can include contraction in credit markets resulting in a widening of credit risk, devaluations and high volatility
in global and specifically mining equity markets, commodity, foreign exchange and base metal markets, and a lack of market liquidity.
A slowdown in the financial markets or other economic conditions, including but not limited to, reduced consumer spending, increased
unemployment rates, deteriorating business conditions, inflation, deflation, volatile fuel and energy costs, increased consumer debt
levels, lack of available credit, lack of future financing, a prolonged recession, changes in interest rates and tax rates may adversely
affect the Corporations growth and profitability potential. Specifically:
| 
| 
| 
A
global credit/liquidity crisis, or a significant increase in interest rates, could impact the cost and availability of financing
and the Companys overall liquidity; | |
| 
| 
| 
| |
| 
| 
| 
The
volatility of copper and other potential by-product prices may impact the Companys future revenues, profits and cash flow; | |
| 
| 
| 
| |
| 
| 
| 
Volatile
energy prices, commodity and consumables prices and currency exchange rates impact potential production costs; and | |
| 
| 
| 
| |
| 
| 
| 
The
devaluation and volatility of global stock markets impacts the valuation of the Companys equity securities, which may impact
its ability to raise funds through the issuance of equity. | |
**Risks
Related to Capital Structure**
**We
believe we currently have ineffective internal control over financial reporting.**
A
material weakness is a deficiency, or combination of deficiencies, in internal control over financial reporting such that there is a
reasonable possibility that a material misstatement of our annual or interim consolidated financial statements may not be prevented or
detected on a timely basis. We identified a material weakness and believe we currently have ineffective internal control over financial
reporting, primarily due: to the lack of sufficient accounting personnel to manage our financial accounting process, lack of segregation
of duties, lack of proper accounting for complex financial instruments, lack of design and implementation of controls, which combined
constituted a material weakness in our internal control over financial reporting.
We
intend to remediate these deficiencies by putting into place proper internal controls and accounting systems to ensure effective internal
control over its financial reporting. Completion of remediation does not provide assurance that our remediation or other controls will
continue to operate properly or remain adequate and we cannot assure you that we will not identify additional material weaknesses in
our internal control over financial reporting in the future. If we are unable to maintain effective internal control over financial reporting
or disclosure controls and procedures, our ability to record, process and report financial information accurately, and to prepare financial
statements within the time periods specified by the rules and forms of the SEC, could be adversely affected. This failure could negatively
affect the market price and trading liquidity of our stock, cause investors to lose confidence in our reported financial information,
subject us to civil and criminal investigations and penalties and generally materially and adversely impact our business and financial
condition.
However,
completion of remediation does not provide assurance that our remediation or other controls will continue to operate properly or remain
adequate and we cannot assure you that we will not identify additional material weaknesses in our internal control over financial reporting
in the future. If we are unable to maintain effective internal control over financial reporting or disclosure controls and procedures,
our ability to record, process and report financial information accurately, and to prepare financial statements within the time periods
specified by the rules and forms of the SEC, could be adversely affected. This failure could negatively affect the market price and trading
liquidity of our stock, cause investors to lose confidence in our reported financial information, subject us to civil and criminal investigations
and penalties and generally materially and adversely impact our business and financial condition
**If
securities or industry analysts do not continue to publish research or reports about our business, or if they issue an adverse or misleading
opinion regarding our stock, our stock price and trading volume could decline.**
The
trading market for our Common Stock is influenced by the research and reports that securities or industry analysts publish about us or
our business. If analysts who cover us downgrade our Common Stock or publish inaccurate or unfavorable research about our business model
or our stock performance, or if our results of operations fail to meet the expectations of analysts, the price of our Common Stock would
likely decline. If one or more of these analysts cease coverage of us or fail to publish reports on us regularly, we could lose visibility
in the financial markets, which in turn might cause the price of our Common Stock and trading volume to decline.
| 21 | |
**System
security vulnerabilities, data breaches, and cyber-attacks could compromise proprietary or otherwise sensitive information or disrupt
operations, which could adversely affect the Companys business, reputation, operations, and stock price.**
Information
systems and other technologies, including those related to the Companys financial and operational management, and its technical
and environmental data, are an integral part of the Companys business activities. Network and information systems related events,
such as phishing attacks, computer hacking, cyber-attacks, computer viruses, worms or other destructive or disruptive software, process
breakdowns, denial of service attacks, lost or misplaced data, programming errors, scams, burglary, human error, misdirected wire transfers,
other malicious activities or any combination of the foregoing. We may also be adversely affected by power outages, natural disasters,
terrorist attacks, or other similar events which could result in damages to the Companys property, equipment and data. These events
also could result in significant expenditures to repair or replace damaged property or information systems and/or to protect them from
similar events in the future.
We
have experienced cybersecurity incidents but have not suffered any material adverse impacts to our business and operations as a result
of such incidents. No security measure is infallible. Our facilities and systems, and those of our third-party service providers, have
been subject to certain cybersecurity incidents and are vulnerable to future adverse events. We may also identify previously undiscovered
instances of security breaches or bad actors with present access to our systems.
In
addition, as a general matter, the frequency and magnitude of cyber-attacks is increasing, and attackers have become more sophisticated.
Cyber-attacks are similarly evolving and include without limitation use of malicious software, surveillance, credential stuffing, spear
phishing, social engineering, use of deepfakes (*i.e.*, highly realistic synthetic media generated by artificial intelligence),
attempts to gain unauthorized access to data, and other electronic security breaches that could lead to disruptions in critical systems,
unauthorized release of confidential or otherwise protected information and corruption of data. The Corporation may be unable to anticipate,
detect or prevent future attacks, particularly as the methodologies used by attackers change frequently or are not recognizable until
deployed. We may also be unable to investigate or remediate incidents as attackers are increasingly using techniques and tools designed
to circumvent controls, to avoid detection, and to remove or obfuscate forensic evidence.
Furthermore,
any security breaches such as misappropriation, misuse, leakage, falsification, accidental release or loss of information contained in
the Companys information technology systems including personnel and other data that could damage its reputation, trigger reporting
or other requirements under material contracts and require the Company to expend significant capital and other resources to remedy any
such security breach. Insurance held by the Company may mitigate losses, however, in any such events or security breaches, such insurance
coverage may not be sufficient to cover any consequent losses or otherwise adequately compensate the Company for any disruptions to its
business that may result, including loss or disruption of a material contract resulting from such breach. Insurance coverage may also
be entirely unavailable. The occurrence of any such events or security breaches could have a material adverse effect on the business
of the Company. In particular, a cybersecurity incident resulting in a security breach or failure to identify a security threat could
disrupt our business and could result in the loss of sensitive, confidential information or other assets, as well as an inability to
complete transactions, litigation including individual claims or class actions, regulatory enforcement, violation of privacy or securities
laws and regulations, and remediation costs, all of which could materially impact our reputation, operations, or financial performance.
There
can be no assurance that these events and/or security breaches will not occur in the future or not have an adverse effect of the business,
reputation, results of operations, and financial condition of the Company.
**You
may experience dilution of your ownership interests because of the future issuance of additional shares of Common Stock or other securities
that are convertible into or exercisable for Common Stock or preferred stock.**
In
the future, the Company may issue authorized but previously unissued equity securities, resulting in the dilution of the ownership interests
of present stockholders. The Company is authorized to issue an aggregate of 500,000,000 shares of Common Stock and 10,000,000 shares
of preferred stock, 200 of which are designated Series A Convertible Non-Voting Preferred Stock. Additional shares of Common Stock or
other securities that are convertible into or exercisable for Common Stock may be issued in connection with hiring or retaining employees,
future acquisitions, future sales of securities for capital raising purposes, or for other business purposes. The future issuance of
any such additional shares of Common Stock may create downward pressure on the trading price of Common Stock.
**We
could face significant penalties for our failure to comply with the terms of our outstanding convertible notes.**
Our
convertible notes contain positive and negative covenants and customary events of default including requiring us in many cases to timely
file SEC reports. In the event we are unable to perform our obligations under the convertible notes, or make timely payment, we could
face significant penalties and/or liquidated damages and/or the conversion price of such notes could be adjusted downward significantly,
all of which could have a material adverse effect on our results of operations and financial condition, or cause any investment in the
Company to decline in value or become worthless. As of the date of this prospectus, we have not defaulted on the convertible notes.
**Shares
of Common Stock are subject to the penny stock rules of the SEC, and the trading market in the Companys securities
is limited, which makes transactions in its stock cumbersome and may reduce the value of an investment in its stock.**
Rule
15g-9 under the Exchange Act establishes the definition of a penny stock, for the purposes relevant to the Company, as
any equity security that has a market price of less than $5.00 per share or with an exercise price of less than $5.00 per share, subject
to certain exceptions. For any transaction involving a penny stock, unless exempt, the rules require: (a) that a broker or dealer approve
a persons account for transactions in penny stocks; and (b) the broker or dealer receive from the investor a written agreement
to the transaction, setting forth the identity and quantity of the penny stock to be purchased.
In
order to approve a persons account for transactions in penny stocks, the broker or dealer must: (a) obtain financial information
and investment experience objectives of the person; and (b) make a reasonable determination that the transactions in penny stocks are
suitable for that person and the person has sufficient knowledge and experience in financial matters to be capable of evaluating the
risks of transactions in penny stocks.
| 22 | |
The
broker or dealer must also deliver, prior to any transaction in a penny stock, a disclosure schedule prescribed by the Commission relating
to the penny stock market, which, in highlight form: (a) sets forth the basis on which the broker or dealer made the suitability determination;
and (b) that the broker or dealer received a signed, written agreement from the investor prior to the transaction. Generally, brokers
may be less willing to execute transactions in securities subject to the penny stock rules. This may make it more difficult
for investors to dispose of shares of Common Stock and may cause a decline in the market value of the Companys stock.
Disclosure
also has to be made about the risks of investing in penny stocks in both public offerings and in secondary trading and about the commissions
payable to both the broker-dealer and the registered representative, current quotations for the securities and the rights and remedies
available to an investor in cases of fraud in penny stock transactions. Finally, monthly statements have to be sent disclosing recent
price information for the penny stock held in the account and information on the limited market in penny stocks.
**Because
the Company does not intend to pay any cash dividends on its Common Stock, its stockholders will not be able to receive a return on their
shares unless they sell them.**
The
Company intends to retain any future earnings to finance the development and expansion of its business. The Company does not anticipate
paying any cash dividends on share of Common Stock in the foreseeable future. Unless the Company pays dividends, its stockholders will
not be able to receive a return on their shares unless they sell them. The Company cannot assure its stockholders that they will be able
to sell shares when they desire to do so.
**Risks
Related to this Offering**
**The
price of our Common Stock may be volatile and may be influenced by numerous factors, some of which are beyond our control.**
Factors
that could cause volatility in the market price of our Common Stock include:
| 
| 
| 
actual or anticipated fluctuations
in our financial condition and operating results; | |
| 
| 
| 
| |
| 
| 
| 
actual or anticipated changes
in our growth rate relative to our competitors; | |
| 
| 
| 
| |
| 
| 
| 
success of our competitors
in commercializing products; | |
| 
| 
| 
| |
| 
| 
| 
strategic transactions
undertaken by us; | |
| 
| 
| 
| |
| 
| 
| 
additions or departures
of key personnel; | |
| 
| 
| 
| |
| 
| 
| 
prevailing economic conditions; | |
| 
| 
| 
| |
| 
| 
| 
disputes concerning our
intellectual property or other proprietary rights; | |
| 
| 
| 
| |
| 
| 
| 
U.S. or foreign regulatory
actions affecting us or our industry; | |
| 
| 
| 
| |
| 
| 
| 
sales of our Common Stock
by our officers, directors or significant stockholders; | |
| 
| 
| 
| |
| 
| 
| 
future sales or issuances
of equity or debt securities by us; | |
| 
| 
| 
| |
| 
| 
| 
business disruptions caused
by natural disasters; and | |
| 
| 
| 
| |
| 
| 
| 
issuance of new or changed
securities analysts reports or recommendations regarding us. | |
In
addition, the stock markets in general have experienced extreme volatility that have been often unrelated to the operating performance
of the issuer. These broad market fluctuations may negatively impact the price or liquidity of our Common Stock. In the past, when the
price of a stock has been volatile, holders of that stock have sometimes instituted securities class action litigation against the issuer.
If any of our stockholders were to bring such a lawsuit against us, we could incur substantial costs defending the lawsuit and the attention
of our management would be diverted from the operation of our business.
**Prior
to the closing of this offering we intend to effect a reverse stock split of our Common Stock, which may not increase the market price
of our common stock over the long term and could decrease the liquidity of our Common Stock.**
In
connection with our efforts to meet the initial listing requirements of the NYSE American, we have effectuated a reverse stock split
of our Common Stock at a ratio of 1:20, as determined by our board of directors. While the primary purpose of the reverse stock split
is to increase the per-share market price of our common stock, there can be no assurance that the reverse stock split will have that
effect or that we will meet other applicable listing requirements of the NYSE American.
| 23 | |
The
market price of our Common Stock is influenced by many factors and may not reflect the proportional reduction in the number of outstanding
shares resulting from the reverse stock split. The reverse stock split may also lead to a reduction in the trading volume and liquidity
of our common stock, which could increase price volatility and make it more difficult for stockholders to buy or sell shares.
Additionally,
the reverse stock split may result in some stockholders owning odd lots of fewer than 100 shares, which may be more difficult
or expensive to sell, potentially further reducing liquidity. There is also a risk that the reverse stock split could be viewed negatively
by the market or investors, which could result in a decline in the market price of our Common Stock.
**The
price of our Common Stock may be volatile, and purchasers of our Common Stock could incur substantial losses.**
Our
share price may be volatile. The stock market in general has experienced extreme volatility that has often been unrelated to the operating
performance of particular companies. As a result of this volatility, investors may not be able to sell their Common Stock at or above
the offering price. The market price for our Common Stock will be influenced by many factors, including, but not limited to:
| 
| 
the
success of our staffing arrangements and the marketing of our services; | |
| 
| 
| |
| 
| 
the
recruitment or departure of key personnel; | |
| 
| 
| |
| 
| 
quarterly
or annual variations in our financial results or those of companies that are perceived to be similar to us; | |
| 
| 
| |
| 
| 
market
conditions in the industries in which we compete and issuance of new or changed securities; | |
| 
| 
| |
| 
| 
analysts
reports or recommendations; | |
| 
| 
| |
| 
| 
the
failure of securities analysts to cover our Common Stock after this Offering or changes in financial estimates by
analysts; | |
| 
| 
| |
| 
| 
the
inability to meet the financial estimates of analysts who follow our Common Stock; | |
| 
| 
| |
| 
| 
the
issuance of any additional securities of ours; | |
| 
| 
| |
| 
| 
investor
perception of our company and of the industry in which we compete; and | |
| 
| 
| |
| 
| 
general
economic, political, and market conditions. | |
**If
our listing application for our Common Stock is not approved by NYSE American, we will not be able to consummate the offering and will
terminate the offering.**
If
our listing application is not approved by NYSE American, we will not be able to consummate the offering and will terminate the offering.
Failure to have our Common Stock listed on NYSE American would make it more difficult for our stockholders to dispose of our Common Stock
and more difficult to obtain accurate price quotations on our Common Stock. Our ability to issue additional securities for financing
or other purposes, or otherwise to arrange for any financing we may need in the future, may also be materially and adversely affected
if our Common Stock is not traded on a national securities exchange.
**The
market price of our Common Stock may be highly volatile, and you could lose all or part of your investment.**
The
trading price of our Common Stock is likely to be volatile. Upon the consummation of this offering, we will have a relatively small public
float due to the relatively small size of the offering, and the concentrated ownership of our Common Stock among our executive officers,
directors, and greater than 5% stockholders. As a result of our small public float, our Common Stock may be less liquid and have greater
stock price volatility than the common stock of companies with broader public ownership.
Our
stock price could be subject to wide fluctuations in response to a variety of other factors, which include:
| 
| 
whether
we achieve our anticipated corporate objectives; | |
| 
| 
| |
| 
| 
changes
in financial or operational estimates or projections; | |
| 
| 
| |
| 
| 
termination
of the lock-up agreement or other restrictions on the ability of our stockholders and other security holders to sell shares after
this offering; and | |
| 
| 
| |
| 
| 
general
economic or political conditions in the United States or elsewhere. | |
In
addition, the stock market in general has recently experienced extreme price and volume fluctuations that have often been unrelated or
disproportionate to the operating performance of these companies. Such rapid and substantial price volatility, including any stock run-up,
may be unrelated to our actual or expected operating performance and financial condition or prospects, making it difficult for prospective
investors to assess the rapidly changing value of our stock. This volatility may prevent you from being able to sell your securities
at or above the price you paid for your securities. If the market price of our Common Stock after the offering does not exceed the offering
price, you may not realize any return on your investment in us and may lose some or all of your investment.
| 24 | |
**If
you purchase our Common Stock in the offering, you will suffer immediate and substantial dilution of your investment.**
The
offering price of the Common Stock is substantially higher than the net tangible book value per share. Therefore, if you purchase Common
Stock in the offering, your interest will be diluted immediately to the extent of the difference between the offering price and the net
tangible book value per share after this offering. See *Dilution*.
**We
have broad discretion in the use of our net proceeds from the Common Stock sold in the offering and may not use them effectively.**
Our
management will have broad discretion in the application of the net proceeds from this offering and could spend the proceeds in ways
that do not improve our operating results or enhance the value of our Common Stock. Our stockholders may not agree with the manner in
which our management chooses to allocate and spend the net proceeds. The failure of our management to apply these funds effectively could
result in financial losses that could have a material adverse effect on our business and cause the price of our Common Stock to decline.
Pending their use, we may invest our net proceeds from this offering in a manner that does not produce income, or that loses value. See
*Use of Proceeds* in this prospectus.
**There
has been no independent valuation of our stock, which means that our Common Stock may be worth less than the offering price in the offering.**
The
per share purchase price in the offering has been determined by us without independent valuation of our shares of Common Stock. We established
the offering price based on managements estimate of the valuation of the Companys shares of Common Stock. This valuation
is highly speculative and arbitrary. There is no relation to the market value, book value, or any other established criteria. We did
not obtain an independent appraisal opinion on the valuation of our shares. Our shares of Common Stock may have a value significantly
less than the offering price, and the shares may never obtain a value equal to or greater than the offering price.
**If
securities industry analysts do not publish research reports on us, or publish unfavorable reports on us, then the market price and market
trading volume of our Common Stock could be negatively affected.**
Any
trading market for our Common Stock may be influenced in part by any research reports that securities industry analysts publish about
us. We do not currently have and may never obtain research coverage by securities industry analysts. If no securities industry analysts
commence coverage of us, the market price and market trading volume of our Common Stock could be negatively affected. In the event we
are covered by analysts, and one or more of such analysts downgrade our securities, or otherwise reports on us unfavorably, or discontinues
coverage of us, the market price and market trading volume of our Common Stock could be negatively affected.
**Future
issuances of debt securities, which would rank senior to our Common Stock upon any bankruptcy or liquidation, and future issuances of
preferred stock, which could rank senior to our Common Stock for the purposes of dividends and liquidating distributions, may adversely
affect the level of return you may be able to achieve from an investment in our Common Stock.**
In
the future, we may attempt to increase our capital resources by offering debt securities. Upon bankruptcy or liquidation, holders of
our debt securities, and lenders with respect to other borrowings we may make, would receive distributions of our available assets prior
to any distributions being made to holders of our Common Stock. Moreover, if we issue preferred stock, the holders of such preferred
stock could be entitled to preferences over holders of Common Stock in respect of the payment of dividends and the payment of liquidating
distributions. Because our decision to issue debt or preferred stock in any future offering, or borrow money from lenders, will depend
in part on market conditions and other factors beyond our control, we cannot predict or estimate the amount, timing or nature of any
such future offerings or borrowings. Holders of our Common Stock must bear the risk that any future offerings we conduct or borrowings
we make may adversely affect the level of return, if any, they may be able to achieve from an investment in our Common Stock.
*Investing
in our common shares involves a high degree of risk. An investment in our securities is speculative and involves a high degree of risk
due to the nature of our business and the present stage of exploration and development of our mineral properties. You should carefully
consider the risks described below, as well as the other information in this Annual Report, including our consolidated financial statements
and the related notes and Part II, Item 7. entitled Managements Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results
of Operations, and in any documents incorporated in this Annual Report by reference, before deciding whether to invest in our
common shares. The occurrence of any of the events or developments described below could harm our business, financial condition, results
of operations, and growth prospects and could cause them to differ materially from the estimates described in forward-looking statements
in this Annual Report. In such an event, the market price of our common shares could decline, and you may lose all or part of your investment.
Although we have discussed all known material risks, the risks described below are not the only ones that we may face. Additional risks
and uncertainties not currently known to us or that we currently deem immaterial may also impair our business operations. Certain statements
below are forward-looking statements. See also Cautionary Note Regarding Forward-Looking Statements in this Annual Report.*

*Cybersecurity
Risk Management and Strategy*
We,
like other companies in our industry, face several cybersecurity risks in connection with our business. Our business strategy, results
of operations, and financial condition have not, to date, been materially affected by risks from cybersecurity threats. During the reporting
period, we have not experienced any material cyber incidents, nor have we experienced a series of immaterial incidents, which would require
disclosure.
We
will implement a cybersecurity program in the future. The program will be aimed at safeguarding the confidentiality, integrity, and availability
of our essential systems and information, and will be designed to detect and mitigate risks from cybersecurity threats to our data and
our systems. Central to our future cybersecurity efforts will be a robust incident response plan designed to address potential cyber
incidents swiftly and effectively.
In
designing and evaluating our cybersecurity program, we will adopt the National Institute of Standards and Technology Cybersecurity Framework
(NIST CSF 2.0) as a guiding principle. It is important to clarify that our use of the NIST CSF 2.0 is for guidance purposes
to frame our risk identification, assessment and management processes and does not equate to compliance with any specific technical standards
or requirements.
The
key components of our future cybersecurity program will include:
| 
| 
| 
conducting
risk assessments to pinpoint material cybersecurity threats to our critical systems, data, products, services, and overall IT infrastructure; | |
| 
| 
| 
| |
| 
| 
| 
a
third-party security expert consultant overseeing the risk assessment process, maintenance of security controls, and coordination
of responses to cybersecurity incidents; | |
| 
| 
| 
| |
| 
| 
| 
engagement
with external service providers to evaluate, enhance, or support our security measures; and | |
| 
| 
| 
| |
| 
| 
| 
an
incident response plan outlining specific procedures for managing cybersecurity incidents; | |
*Cybersecurity
Governance*
The
governance of cybersecurity risks is a critical function of our Board of Directors which has a key role in the oversight of cybersecurity
and related technology risks. The Board of Directors is tasked with monitoring the effectiveness of our cybersecurity risk management
program as implemented by management.
The
Board of Directors will receive regular updates from management on the state of cybersecurity risks facing the Company. This includes
briefings on any significant cyber incidents and ongoing risk management efforts.
The
responsibility for day-to-day management of cybersecurity risks lies with our management team, including the Chief Financial Officer
and Chief Executive Officer. This team will be at the forefront of our cybersecurity initiatives, coordinating both internal and external
resources to anticipate, identify, and mitigate cyber threats. Our approach will include regular updates from our third-party security
expert consultant, leveraging intelligence from various sources, and utilizing advanced security tools to protect our digital environment.

2. PROPERTIES.**
**Mining
Property**
To
determine material mining operations in accordance with subpart 1300 of Commission Regulation S-K, management considered both quantitative
and qualitative factors, assessed in the context of the Companys overall business and financial condition. The Company concluded
that, as of the date of the filing of this prospectus, its sole material mining operation is the CuMo Project. The Company will update
its assessment of individually material mines on an annual basis.
The
information relating to such sole material mining operation is contained in the technical report summary (TRS) relating
to the CuMo Project prepared in compliance with Item 601(b)(96) and subpart 1300 of Regulation S-K. Reference should be made to the full
text of the TRS, a copy of which is filed as Exhibit 96.1 to this registration statement and is incorporated herein by reference. A glossary
of terms used herein can be found in the TRS.
Pursuant
to Item 1302(b)(5) of Regulation S-K (17 C.F.R. 229.1302(b)(5)), the Company states that the TRS was prepared by Shaun M. Dykes,
M. Sc. (Eng), P. Geo of Geologic Systems, Ltd. Mr. Dykes served as a director of the Company and Vice President, Exploration. Mr. Dykes
met the qualifications specified under the definition of Qualified Person under Item 1300 of Regulation S-K. Mr. Dykes
resigned from his position as an officer of the Company and a member of the Board on March 27, 2023.

The
CuMo Project currently consists of one hundred and twenty-six (126) federal unpatented lode mining claims, and six (6) patented mining
claims. In total, the project comprises approximately 2,640 acres. The unpatented lode mining claims and patented claims are situated
in an unorganized mining district, in Boise County, Idaho, spanning Sections in Township 7N and 8N, Range 5E and 6E, Boise Meridian.

The
names of the unpatented claims, and the place of record of the location notices, thereof in the official records of the Boise County
recorder, and the authorized office of the Bureau of Land Management are as follows:

On
August 24, 2021, ICUMO and Computershare Trust Company of Canada entered into a 7.5% Secured Note Indenture under which the aggregate
principal amount of notes authorized to be issued is $15,000, with a maturity date of May 31, 2028. The 7.5% Secured Note Indenture is
secured by all of the mining claims of ICUMO that represent the CuMo Project, other than the patented lode mining claims located in Section
13, Township 8 North, Range 5 East, Boise Meridian, Boise County, Idaho, as depicted on Mineral Survey 1706: (i) Blackbird; (ii) Red
Flag; (iii) Enterprise; (iv) Enterprise Fraction; (v) Commonwealth; and (vi) Baby Mine. In connection with this security interest, ICUMO
and Computershare Trust Company of Canada, as Mortgagee, signed a Real Property Mortgage under which the Mortgagee has the right upon

On
October 31, 2014, as subsequently amended March 26, 2015, and January 29, 2016, ICUMO entered into a Loan Agreement with La Familia II,
LLC, evidenced by a secured promissory note, in the amount of $500,000. The promissory note accrues annual interest at 8.5%, has a maturity
date of December 31, 2025, and is secured by a first priority deed of trust over the patented mining claims listed above.
**Location,
Access, Climate, Infrastructure and Topography**
The
CuMo Project is situated in the mountains of south-west Idaho, in the Boise National Forest, in Boise County, Idaho, approximately 15
miles northeast of the town of Idaho City, near the unincorporated community of Centerville, roughly 37 miles on a straight line, and
60 miles by road, from the city of Boise. Good all-weather highways, and US Forest Service roads provide access to the project from Idaho
City and Centerville. The trip from Boise takes approximately 1.5 hours. Access can be limited during some winter months when significant
snow cover can impede passage via the Forest Service roads.
The
property can be accessed by road from Boise by taking State Highway 55 northerly for approximately 40 miles (65 km) to the town of Banks,
Idaho, and then east on the Banks Lowman Road towards the town of Garden Valley for approximately 10 miles (16 km). One mile east of
Garden Valley is a secondary road heading south across the Payette River. Following this secondary road, the westernmost edge of the
CuMo claim block is approximately 10 miles (16 km) from Garden Valley. Alternatively, access can be gained (1) by traveling northeast
from Boise along Highway 21 past the towns of Idaho City and Centerville, along Grimes Creek, and then over the Grimes Pass, or (2) from
State Highway 55 north to Horseshoe Bend, then east on Harris Creek Road past New Centerville, Centerville, Pioneerville to Forest Service
roads which give access to the western portion of the claim block.
The
elevation of the CuMo project ranges between 5,100 feet and 7,200 feet. The project site features a mountain top which contains the bulk
of the mineral deposit, deep ravines adjacent, and is largely forested, except for sections that have been cleared by several fires which
occurred in 2014 and 2016.
| 28 | |
The
climate is defined by summer temperatures to a maximum of 100 F (38C) and cold, windy winters with lows to -10 F (-23C).
Precipitation is moderately light with an average rainfall of 30 inches (<1 meter) and an average snowfall of approximately 140 inches
(3.6 m). Vegetation in the project area consists of cedar, lodgepole pine, mountain mahogany, and juniper.
The
general area is serviced by the Idaho Power Company which supplies electricity to residents of Garden Valley, Lowman and Pioneerville,
and electricity from the existing power grid would be available by constructing a line and substations to the project site. The nearest
rail line is the Idaho Northern & Pacific line formerly operated by Union Pacific that runs through the town of Banks, approximately
20 road miles (32 km) to the west of the property. There is also a rail loadout, on the same rail line as above, at the town of Horseshoe
Bend roughly 25 miles southwest of the property. Equipment, supplies, and services for exploration and mining development projects are
available at Boise, and housing for a construction and operational workforce is available in Boise and the smaller communities in the
general area. Water is available from holders of Boise Basin certificated water allocation, or from the adjacent Payette River Basin.
There is also a trained mining-industrial workforce available in Boise.
Exploration
(subject to seasonal limitations provided under the Exploration Plan of Operations (Exploration PoO) issued by the US Forest Service)
and mining activities at the property can be conducted year-round, due to the established road system and its proximity to other infrastructure.
The property is large enough to accommodate exploration within the current CuMo deposit property footprint.

3. LEGAL PROCEEDINGS.**
On
September 12, 2025, International Energy & Mineral Resources Investment Company Limited (IEMR), a shareholder of the
Company, filed a lawsuit in the Fourth Judicial District of Idaho seeking a declaratory judgment that the Lock-Up Agreement dated December
21, 2022, and its First Amendment dated March 30, 2024 (collectively, the Lock-Up Agreement) have terminated according
to their terms and that IEMR may freely trade its shares.
The
Company maintains that IEMR remains subject to the restrictions of the Lock-Up Agreement and filed its response to the lawsuit on September
30, 2025. On November 4, 2025, IEMR filed a motion for summary judgement on its declaratory judgement claim. The Companys response
in opposition to the motion for summary judgement was due on January 29, 2026. At that time, IEMR moved to dismiss the complaint without
prejudice, and the court issued a stipulation dismissing the case.
Additionally,
we are involved in a federal district court lawsuit with the Forest Servicewhich ischallenging the Exploration PoOP
anticipated to befiled inJune 2025by environmental and nongovernment organizations in opposition to exploration at
CuMo,where the Company has intervened.

**Market
Information**
The
Common Stock is currently quoted on the OTC Pink marketplace of OTC Markets Group, Inc., under the symbol COPR. There is
currently a limited trading market for the Common Stock and there is no assurance that a regular trading market will ever develop.
**Holders**
As
of March 17, 2026, there were 502 holders of record of Common Stock, based on information provided by the Companys transfer
agent. The holders of Common Stock are entitled to one vote for each share held of record on all matters submitted to a vote of
stockholders. Holders of Common Stock have no preemptive rights and no right to convert their Common Stock into any other
securities. There are no redemption or sinking fund provisions applicable to the Common Stock.
**Dividends**
In
January 2022, the Company distributed a special dividend to its minority shareholders in connection with the Merger Agreement. Other
than the special distribution in January 2022, the Company does not pay dividends on shares of Common Stock and does not anticipate paying
such dividends in the foreseeable future. The declaration of any future cash dividends is at the discretion of the Board and depends
upon earnings, if any, capital requirements and financial position, the Companys general economic conditions, and other pertinent
conditions.
**Recent
Sales of Unregistered Securities**
From
February 28, 2024, through March 28, 2024, the Company conducted a private placement offering pursuant to which it entered into subscription
purchase agreements with accredited investors for an aggregate of 162.66 Units (the Units), at a purchase price of $12,000
per Unit for an aggregate purchase price of approximately $1,952,000 (the Newbridge Private Placement Offering). Each Unit
was comprised of one (1) share of Series A Convertible Non-Voting Preferred Stock, $0.001 par value per share, and (ii) 62,500 Common
Stock purchase warrants (the Warrants). The Warrants entitle the holders to shares of Common Stock for three (3) years,
at an exercise price of $0.24 per share. Newbridge Securities Corporation acted as the sole placement agent (the Placement Agent)
on a best-efforts basis pursuant to a Placement Agency Agreement dated September 7, 2023, as amended on December 27, 2023. Pursuant to
this agreement, the Placement Agent received cash commissions of $195,200, representing 10.0% of the gross purchase price of the Units
sold. Certain members of the Placement Agent participated as investors in the Newbridge Private Placement Offering.
**Penny
Stock Regulations**
Our
shares of common stock are subject to the penny stock rules of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 and various rules under
this Act. In general terms, penny stock is defined as any equity security that has a market price less than $5.00 per share,
subject to certain exceptions. The rules provide that any equity security is considered to be a penny stock unless that security is registered
and traded on a national securities exchange meeting specified criteria set by the SEC, issued by a registered investment company, and
excluded from the definition on the basis of price (at least $5.00 per share), or based on the issuers net tangible assets or
revenues. In the last case, the issuer must meet one of the following requirements: (i) net tangible assets must exceed $3,000,000 if
the issuer has been in continuous operation for at least three years; or (ii) net tangible assets must exceed $5,000,000 if the issuer
has been in operation for less than three years; or (iii) the issuers average revenues for each of the past three years must exceed
$6,000,000.
Trading
in shares of penny stock is subject to additional sales practice requirements for broker-dealers who sell penny stocks to persons other
than established customers and accredited investors. Accredited investors, in general, include individuals with assets in excess of $1,000,000
or annual income exceeding $200,000 (or $300,000 together with their spouse), and certain institutional investors. For transactions covered
by these rules, broker-dealers must make a special suitability determination for the purchase of the security and must have received
the purchasers written consent to the transaction prior to the purchase. Additionally, for any transaction involving a penny stock,
the rules require the delivery prior to the first transaction of a risk disclosure document relating to the penny stock. A broker-dealer
also must disclose the commissions payable to both the broker-dealer and the registered representative, and current quotations for the
security. Finally, monthly statements must be sent disclosing recent price information for the penny stocks. These rules may restrict
the ability of broker-dealers to trade or maintain a market in our common stock, to the extent it is penny stock, and may affect the
ability of shareholders to sell their shares.

The
following discussion of our financial condition and results of operations should be read in conjunction with our audited consolidated
financial statements and the notes to those financial statements appearing elsewhere in this Annual Report.*
**
*This
discussion and analysis below include forward-looking statements that are subject to risks, uncertainties and other factors described
in the Risk Factors section that could cause actual results could differ materially from those anticipated in these forward-
looking statements as a result of various factors. Additionally, our historical results are not necessarily indicative of the results
that may be expected for any period in the future. We caution you to read the Forward Looking Statements section of our
Annual Report. All share and per share amounts in this section have been retrospectively adjusted for all periods presented to reflect
the Reverse Stock Split effectuated on December 15, 2025.*
| 30 | |
**Nature
of Operations**
The
Company is in the process of exploring its mineral right interests in the United States and at the date of these consolidated financial
statements, has not yet determined whether any of its mineral properties contain economically recoverable mineral reserves. Accordingly,
the carrying amount of mineral right interests represents cumulative expenditures incurred to date and does not necessarily reflect present
or future values. The recovery of these costs is dependent upon the discovery of economically recoverable mineral reserves and the ability
of the Company to obtain the necessary financing to complete their exploration and development and to resolve any environmental, regulatory,
or other constraints. Uncertainty also exists with respect to the recoverability of the carrying value of certain mineral right interests.
The ability of the Company to realize its investment in resource properties is contingent upon the maintenance and integrity of the Companys
title to such properties.
**Mining
Operations**
To
determine material mining operations in accordance with subpart 1300 of SEC Regulation S-K, management considered both quantitative and
qualitative factors, assessed in the context of the Companys overall business and financial condition. The Company concluded that,
as of the date of the filing of this Report, its sole material mining operation is the CuMo Project. The Company will update its assessment
of individual material mines on an annual basis.
The
information relating to such sole material mining operation is contained in the technical report summary (TRS) relating
to the CuMo Project prepared in compliance with the Item 601(b)(96) and subpart 1300 of Regulation S-K. Reference should be made to the
full text of the TRS, a copy of which was filed as Exhibit 96.1 to the Current Report on Form 8-K, dated January 27, 2023.
Pursuant
to Item 1302(b)(5) of Regulation S-K (17 C.F.R. 229.1302(b)(5)), the Company states that the TRS was prepared by Shaun M. Dykes
(our former Vice President and former Director), M. Sc. (Eng), P. Geo of Geologic Systems, Ltd. Mr. Dykes is currently serving as a technical
advisor to the registrant. Mr. Dykes meets the qualifications specified under the definition of Qualified Person under
Item 1300 of Regulation S-K.
The
CuMo Project currently consists of one hundred and twenty-six (126) federal unpatented lode mining claims, and six (6) patented mining
claims. In total, the project comprises approximately 2,640 acres. The unpatented lode mining claims and patented claims are situated
in an unorganized mining district, in Boise County, Idaho, spanning Sections in Township 7N and 8N, Range 5E and 6E, Boise Meridian.
No
assurances can be given that any of these plans will come to fruition or that if implemented they will necessarily yield positive results.
**Going
Concern Qualification**
Several
conditions and events cast substantial doubt about the Companys ability to continue as a going concern. The Company has incurred
cumulative net losses of $40,217,906 from its inception to January 31, 2026, and requires capital for its contemplated operational and
marketing activities to take place. The Companys ability to raise additional capital through debt or future issuances of capital
stock is unknown. The obtainment of additional financing, the successful development of the Companys contemplated plan of operations,
and its transition, ultimately, to the attainment of profitable operations are necessary for the Company to continue operations. The
ability to successfully resolve these factors raises substantial doubt about the Companys ability to continue as a going concern.
**Results
of Operations**
The
following discussion and analysis of our financial condition and results of operations should be read in conjunction with the consolidated
financial statements and notes thereto for the years ended January 31, 2026, and 2025, and related management discussion herein.
Our
consolidated financial statements are stated in U.S. Dollars and are prepared in accordance with US GAAP.

Professional
fees decreased due to decreases in costs associated with the increased costs related to the preparation of the Companys Form S-1
in the year ended January 31, 2025 compared to the same period in 2026. Payroll and related expenses increased as officers and employees
costs elevated with the preparation for operations to commence. Stock-based compensation decreased due to less conversions of consultants
fees into common stock for the year ended January 31, 2026 compared to the same period in 2025. General and administrative costs decreased
due to the decrease in the Companys activity generally as it continues to seek the development of its existing mining claims.
**Loss
from operations**

The
Company had a loss from operations of $2,623,677 for the year ended January 31, 2026, compared to $4,721,523 for the year ended January

**Net
loss**
****
The
Company had a net loss of $3,074,964 for the year ended January 31, 2026, compared to $5,137,332 for the year ended January 31, 2025.
**Liquidity
and Capital Resources**
As
of January 31, 2026, we had current assets of $92,016 and current liabilities of $4,678,066, and our working capital deficit was $4,586,050.
We do not have sufficient resources to effectuate our business. We expect to incur expenses without revenues during the next twelve months
of operations. We estimate that these expenses will be comprised primarily of general expenses including overhead, legal and accounting
fees. To maintain our plan of growth, we need to raise a minimum of an additional $12,000,000. These factors raise substantial doubt
about the Companys ability to continue as a going concern.
We
will have to raise funds to pay for our expenses. We may have to borrow money from shareholders or issue debt or equity or enter into
a strategic arrangement with a third party. There can be no assurance that additional capital will be available to us. We currently have
no arrangements or understandings with any person to obtain funds through bank loans, lines of credit or any other sources. Since we
have no such arrangements or plans currently in effect, our inability to raise funds for our operations will have a severe negative impact
on our ability to remain a viable company.
We
currently have no external sources of liquidity such as arrangements with credit institutions or off-balance sheet arrangements that
will have or are reasonably likely to have a current or future effect on our financial condition or immediate access to capital.
**Cash
Flows**
**Operating
Activities**
For
the year ended January 31, 2026, net cash used in operating activities was $818,603 compared to $2,503,508 for the year ended January
31, 2025.
**Investing
Activities**
For
the years ended January 31, 2026, and 2025, we reported no cash provided by our investing activities.
**Financing
Activities**
For
the year ended January 31, 2026, we had cash provided by financing activities of $742,199, related to proceeds from convertible notes
payable and the sale of preferred stock. For the year ended January 31, 2025, we had cash provided by financing activities of $2,574,040,
related to proceeds from notes payable.
**Critical
Accounting Policies**
Our
financial statements and accompanying notes have been prepared in accordance with United States generally accepted accounting principles
(GAAP) applied on a consistent basis. The preparation of financial statements in conformity with GAAP requires management
to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities, the disclosure of contingent assets and
liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting periods.
We
regularly evaluate the accounting policies and estimates that we use to prepare our financial statements. A complete summary of these
policies is included in the notes to our financial statements. In general, managements estimates are based on historical experience,
on information from third party professionals, and on various other assumptions that are believed to be reasonable under the facts and
circumstances. Actual results could differ from those estimates made by management.
The
financial statements have been prepared in conformity with US GAAP, which contemplates our continuation as a going concern. The Company
has no revenue and has incurred losses to date of $40,217,906. In addition, the Companys current liabilities exceed its current
assets by $4,586,051. The Company intends on financing its future development activities and its working capital needs largely from the
sale of public equity securities with some additional funding from other traditional financing sources, including term notes until such
time that funds provided by operations are sufficient to fund working capital requirements. These factors raise substantial doubt about
the Companys ability to continue operating as a going concern. The Companys ability to continue our operations as a going
concern, realize the carrying value of our assets, and discharge our liabilities in the normal course of business is dependent upon our
ability to raise capital sufficient to fund its commitments and ongoing losses, and ultimately generate profitable operations.
**Contractual
Obligations**
We
are a smaller reporting company as defined by Rule 12b-2 of the Exchange Act and are not required to provide the information under this
item.
**Off
Balance Sheet Items**
Under
SEC regulations, we are required to disclose off-balance sheet arrangements that have or are reasonably likely to have a current or future
effect on our financial condition, such as changes in financial condition, revenues or expenses, results of operations, liquidity, capital
expenditures or capital resources that are material to investors. An off-balance sheet arrangement means a transaction, agreement, or
contractual arrangement to which any entity that is not consolidated with us is a party, under which we have:

obligation under certain guarantee contracts, | |

| 
| 
any
obligation arising out of a material variable interest held by us in an unconsolidated entity that provides financing, liquidity,
market risk or credit risk support to us, or engages in leasing, hedging or research and development services with us. | |
We
do not have any off-balance sheet arrangements that we are required to disclose pursuant to these regulations. In the ordinary course
of business, we enter into operating lease commitments, purchase commitments and other contractual obligations. These transactions are
recognized in our financial statements in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles in the United States.
**Going
Concern**
We
incurred net losses of $3,074,964 for the year ended January 31, 2026. We had an accumulated deficit of $40,217,906 and working capital
deficit of $4,586,051 as of January 31, 2026. These conditions raise substantial doubt about the Companys ability to continue
as a going concern.
The
continuation of the Company as a going concern through the next twelve months is dependent upon the continued financial support from
its stockholders or external financing. There can be no assurances to that effect, nor assurance that we will be successful in securing
sufficient funds to sustain the operations.
These
financial statements do not include any adjustments to reflect the possible future effect on the recoverability and classification of
assets or the amounts and classifications of liabilities that may result from the outcome of these uncertainties. We believe that the
actions presently being taken to obtain additional funding and implement its strategic plan provides the opportunity for the Company
to continue as a going concern.
**Use
of Estimates**
The
preparation of financial statements in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles requires management to make estimates
and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingencies at the date of the financial
statements and the reported amount of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results may differ from those estimates.
**Exploration
Stage Company**
The
accompanying financial statements have been prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles related to accounting
and reporting by exploration stage companies. An exploration stage company is one in which planned principal operations have not commenced
or if its operations have commenced, there has been no significant revenues there from.
**Property
and Equipment**
Property
and equipment are stated at cost, net of accumulated depreciation. Major improvements and betterments are capitalized. Maintenance and
repairs are expensed as incurred. Depreciation is computed using the straight-line method over the estimated useful life. At the time
of retirement or other disposition of property and equipment, the cost and accumulated depreciation are removed from the accounts and
any resulting gain or loss is reflected in the statements of operations as other gain or loss, net.
The
processing plant and other machinery are depreciated over an estimated useful life of ten years; vehicles are depreciated over an estimated
life of five years; and computers and other office equipment over an estimated useful life of five years.
**Mineral
Properties**
Costs
of exploration, carrying and retaining unproven mineral lease properties are expensed as incurred. Mineral property acquisition costs,
including licenses and lease payments, are capitalized. Although we have taken steps to verify title to mineral properties in which it
has an interest, these procedures do not guarantee our rights. Such properties may be subject to prior agreements or transfers and title
may be affected by undetected defects.
Impairment
losses are recorded on mineral properties used in operations when indicators of impairment are present and the undiscounted cash flows
estimated to be generated by those assets are less than the assets carrying amount. As of January 31, 2026, we did not recognize
any impairment losses related to mineral properties held.
**Impairment
of Intangible Assets with Indefinite Useful Lives**
We
account for intangible assets in accordance with Accounting Standards Codification (ASC) 350, Intangibles Goodwill
and Other (ASC 350). ASC 350 requires that intangible assets with indefinite useful lives no longer be amortized but instead
be evaluated for impairment at least annually. On an annual basis, in the fourth quarter of the fiscal year, we review our intangible
assets with indefinite useful lives for impairment by first assessing qualitative factors to determine whether the existence of events
or circumstances makes it more-likely-than-not that the fair value of an intangible asset is less than its carrying amount. If it is
determined that it is more-likely-than-not that the fair value of an intangible asset is less than its carrying amount, the intangible
asset is further tested for impairment by comparing the carrying amount to its estimated fair value using a discounted cash flow. Impairment,
if any, is measured as the amount by which an indefinite-lived intangible assets carrying amount exceeds its fair value.
Application
of impairment tests requires significant management judgment, including the determination of fair value of each indefinite-lived intangible
asset. Judgment applied when performing the qualitative analysis includes consideration of macroeconomic, industry and market conditions,
overall financial performance of the entity, composition, or strategy changes affecting the recoverability of asset groups. Judgments
applied when performing the quantitative analysis includes estimating future cash flows, determining appropriate discount rates and making
other assumptions. Changes in these judgments, estimates and assumptions could materially affect the determination of fair value for
each indefinite-lived intangible asset.
| 33 | |
**Impairment
of Long-Lived Assets**
For
future long-lived assets, such as property and equipment and intangible assets subject to amortization, we continually monitor events
and changes in circumstances that could indicate carrying amounts of future long-lived assets may not be recoverable. When such events
or changes in circumstances are present, we assess the recoverability of future long-lived assets by determining whether the carrying
value of such assets will be recovered through undiscounted expected future cash flows. If the total of the future cash flows is less
than the carrying amount of those assets, we recognize an impairment loss based on the excess of the carrying amount over the fair value
of the assets. Assets to be disposed of are reported at the lower of the carrying amount or the fair value less costs to sell.
**Recently
Adopted Accounting Policies**
In
August 2020, the FASB issued ASU No. 2020-06, *DebtDebt with Conversion and Other Options (Subtopic 470-20) and Derivatives
and HedgingContracts in Entitys Own Equity (Subtopic 815-40): Accounting for convertible Instruments and Contracts in an
Entitys Own Equity*, to address the complexity in accounting for certain financial instruments with characteristics of liabilities
and equity. This ASU significantly changes the guidance on the issuers accounting for convertible instruments and the guidance
on the derivative scope exception for contracts in an entitys own equity so that fewer conversion features will require separate
recognition, and fewer freestanding instruments, like warrants with require liability treatment. ASU 2020-06 is effective for smaller
reporting companies for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2023. The Company adopted this standard on February 1, 2024. As a result,
the Company derecognized $405,305 for the remaining balance of the unamortized beneficial conversion features attributable to its outstanding
convertible notes payable. The Company elected to use the modified retrospective approach as of the adoption date and recognized an adjustment
to the opening balance of its accumulated deficit in the amount of $405,305.
In
November 2024, the FASB issued ASU 2024-03, *Income Statement Reporting Comprehensive Income Expense Disaggregation
Disclosures*(ASU 2024-03). ASU 2024-03 is intended to improve disclosures about a public business entitys expenses
and provide more detailed information to investors about the types in commonly presented expense captions. The guidance is effective
for annual periods beginning after December 15, 2026, and quarterly periods beginning after December 31, 2027, and can be adopted prospectively
to financial statements issued for reporting periods after the effective date or retrospectively to all prior periods presented in the
financial statements. The Company is currently evaluating the potential impact of this guidance on its financial statements.
Management
does not believe any other recently issued but not yet effective accounting pronouncement, if adopted, would have a material impact on
the Companys present or future financial statements.

9. CHANGES IN AND DISAGREEMENTS WITH ACCOUNTANTS ON ACCOUNTING AND FINANCIAL DISCLOSURE.**
On
October 2, 2024, the Company dismissed GreenGrowth CPAs as its independent registered public accounting firm. On the same date the Company
engaged Novogradac & Company LLP as its independent registered public accounting firm to audit our financials for the year ended
January 31, 2025. During the fiscal year ending January 31, 2024, and during the interim period through October 2, 2024, we had no disagreements
with GreenGrowth CPAs on any matter of accounting principles or practices, financial statement disclosure, or auditing scope of procedure.
**Item
9A. CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES.**
**Disclosure
Controls and Procedures**
We
maintain disclosure controls and procedures, as defined in Rule 13a-15(e) and Rule 15d-15(e) promulgated under the Exchange Act that
are designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed by us in the reports that we file or submit under the Exchange Act is
recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in the SECs rules and forms and that such information
is accumulated and communicated to our senior management, consisting of Andrew Brodkey, President and Chief Executive Officer (Principal
Executive Officer) and Robert Scannell (Principal Financial and Accounting Officer), as appropriate to allow timely decisions regarding
required disclosure.
We
carried out an evaluation, under the supervision and with the participation of our senior management, consisting of Andrew Brodkey, President
and Chief Executive Officer (Principal Executive Officer) and Robert Scannell (Principal Financial and Accounting Officer), of the effectiveness
of the design and operation of our disclosure controls and procedures as of January 31, 2026. Based on the evaluation of these disclosure
controls and procedures, and in light of the material weaknesses found in our internal controls over financial reporting, primarily due
to the lack of separation of duties due to a small staff, our senior management concluded that our disclosure controls and procedures
were not effective.
**Managements
Report on Internal Control Over Financial Reporting**
Our
management is responsible for establishing and maintaining adequate internal control over financial reporting. Internal control over
financial reporting is defined in Rule 13a-15(f) or 15d-15(f) promulgated under the Exchange Act as a process designed by, or under the
supervision of, our principal executive and principal financial officers and effected by our Board, management and other personnel, to
provide reasonable assurance regarding the reliability of financial reporting and the preparation of financial statements for external
purposes in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America and includes those policies and
procedures that (i) pertain to the maintenance of records that in reasonable detail accurately and fairly reflect the transactions and
dispositions of our assets; (ii) provide reasonable assurance that transactions are recorded as necessary to permit preparation of financial
statements in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States and that receipts and expenditures of the
company are being made only in accordance with authorizations of management and directors of the company; and (iii) provide reasonable
assurance regarding prevention or timely detection of unauthorized acquisition, use or disposition of our assets that could have a material
effect on the financial statements.
| 34 | |
Because
of its inherent limitations, internal control over financial reporting may not prevent or detect misstatements. Projections of any evaluation
of effectiveness to future periods are subject to the risk that controls may become inadequate because of changes in conditions, or that
the degree of compliance with the policies or procedures may deteriorate. All internal control systems, no matter how well designed,
have inherent limitations. Therefore, even those systems determined to be effective can provide only reasonable assurance with respect
to financial statement preparation and presentation. Because of the inherent limitations of internal control, there is a risk that material
misstatements may not be prevented or detected on a timely basis by internal control over financial reporting. However, these inherent
limitations are known features of the financial reporting process. Therefore, it is possible to design into the process safeguards to
reduce, though not eliminate, this risk.
As
of January 31, 2026, management consisted of Andrew Brodkey, President and Chief Executive Officer (Principal Executive Officer) and
Robert Scannell, Chief Financial Officer (Principal Financial and Accounting Officer). Current management assessed the effectiveness
of our internal control over financial reporting based on the criteria for effective internal control over financial reporting established
in Internal ControlIntegrated Framework issued by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission (COSO)
in 2013 and SEC guidance on conducting such assessments. Based on that evaluation, we believe that, during the period covered by this
report, such internal controls and procedures were not effective to detect the inappropriate application of US GAAP rules as more fully
described below. This was due to deficiencies that existed in the design or operation of our internal controls over financial reporting
that adversely affected our internal controls and that may be considered to be material weaknesses.
The
matters involving internal controls and procedures that our management considered to be material weaknesses under the standards of the
Public Company Accounting Oversight Board were: (1) lack of a functioning audit committee and a lack of independent directors on our
Board, resulting in ineffective oversight in the establishment and monitoring of required internal controls and procedures; (2) inadequate
segregation of duties consistent with control objectives; and (3) ineffective controls over period end financial disclosure and reporting
processes. The aforementioned material weaknesses were identified by Andrew Brodkey, President and Chief Executive Officer (Principal
Executive Officer) and Robert Scannell (Principal Financial and Accounting Officer) in connection with the review of our financial statements
as of January 31, 2026.
Management
believes that the material weaknesses set forth in items (2) and (3) above did not have an effect on our financial results. However,
management believes that the lack of a functioning audit committee and the lack of independent directors on our Board results in ineffective
oversight in the establishment and monitoring of required internal controls and procedures, which could result in a material misstatement
in our financial statements in future periods.
**Managements
Remediation Initiatives**
In
an effort to remediate the identified material weaknesses and other deficiencies and enhance our internal controls, we have initiated,
or plan to initiate, the following series of measures:
Assuming
we are able to secure additional working capital, we will create a position to segregate duties consistent with control objectives and
will increase our personnel resources and technical accounting expertise within the accounting function when funds are available to us.
We
also plan to appoint one or more outside directors to our Board who shall be appointed to an audit committee resulting in a fully functioning
audit committee which will undertake the oversight in the establishment and monitoring of required internal controls and procedures such
as reviewing and approving estimates and assumptions made by management.
Management
believes that the appointment of one or more independent directors, who shall be appointed to a fully functioning audit committee, will
remedy the lack of a functioning audit committee and a lack of a majority of independent directors on our Board.
**Changes
in Internal Control over Financial Reporting**
There
were no changes in our internal control over financial reporting (as defined in Rules 13a-15(f) and 15d-15(f) under the Exchange Act)
during the year ended January 31, 2026, that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control
over financial reporting.

Directors
are elected to serve until the earlier of the election and qualification of their successors, their removal for cause by the shareholders,
or their resignation. Directors are elected by a plurality of the votes cast at the annual meeting of stockholders and hold office until
the expiration of the term for which he or she was elected and until a successor has been elected and qualified.
A
majority of the authorized number of directors constitutes a quorum of the Board for the transaction of business. The directors must
be present at the meeting to constitute a quorum. Any action required or permitted to be taken by the Board may be taken without a meeting
if all members of the Board individually or collectively consent in writing to the action.
Executive
officers are appointed by the Board and serve at its pleasure.

**Code
of Ethics**
On
May 11, 2012, our Board of Directors approved a renewed Code of Ethics which is applicable to our officers and senior executives, which
include our Chief Financial Officer, Treasurer and Chief Accounting Officer. On January 23, 2023, in connection with the Exchange, the
Board adopted a revised and restated Code of Ethics, applicable to all officers and directors. This Code of Ethics embodies the Companys
commitment to conduct business in accordance with the highest ethical standards and applicable laws, rules, and regulations.
The
Code of Ethics promotes honest and ethical conduct, including the ethical handling of actual or apparent conflicts of interest. It promotes
full, fair, accurate, timely and understandable disclosure in reports and documents that the Company files with, or submits to, the SEC
and other public communications made by the Company. The Code of Ethics addresses the following areas:

**Role
in Risk Oversight**
Our
board is primarily responsible for overseeing our risk management processes. The board receives and reviews periodic reports from management,
auditors, legal counsel, and others, as considered appropriate regarding our companys assessment of risks. The board focuses on
the most significant risks facing our company and our companys general risk management strategy and also ensures that risks undertaken
by our company are consistent with the boards appetite for risk. While the board oversees our Companys risk management,
management is responsible for day-to-day risk management processes. We believe this division of responsibilities is the most effective
approach for addressing the risks facing our company and that our board leadership structure supports this approach.

**Executive
Officer Agreements**
**Andrew
Brodkey**
Mr.
Brodkey and the Company entered into a Management Agreement on December 15, 2021, for a term of one year with automatic renewals for
one-year periods on December 31 of each year, subject to renegotiation within 60 days of the end of any one-year period unless earlier

**REPORT OF INDEPENDENT REGISTERED PUBLIC ACCOUNTING FIRM**
To the Board of Directors and Stockholders of
**Idaho Copper Corporation**
**Opinion on the Financial Statements**
We have audited the accompanying consolidated balance sheets of Idaho Copper
Corporation (the Company) as of January 31, 2026, and 2025, and the related consolidated statements of operations, changes
in stockholders deficit, and cash flows for the years ended January 31, 2026, and 2025, and the related notes (collectively referred
to as the financial statements). In our opinion, the financial statements present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position
of the Company as of January 31, 2026, and 2025, and the results of its operations and its cash flows for the years then ended, in conformity
with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.
**Going
Concern**
The accompanying financial statements have been prepared assuming that
the entity will continue as a going concern. As discussed in Note 1 to the financial statements, the Company has suffered recurring losses
from operations and has not yet generated any revenues. This raises substantial doubt about the Companys ability to continue as
a going concern. Managements plans in regard to these matters are also described in Note 2 to the financial statements. The financial
statements do not include any adjustments that might result from the outcome of this uncertainty.
**Basis
for Opinion**
****
These financial statements are the responsibility of the Companys
management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on the Companys financial statements based on our audits. We are a public
accounting firm registered with the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States) (PCAOB) and are required to
be independent with respect to the Company in accordance with the U.S. federal securities laws and the applicable rules and regulations
of the Securities and Exchange Commission and the PCAOB.
We conducted our audits in accordance with the standards of the PCAOB.
Those standards require that we plan and perform the audits to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are
free of material misstatement, whether due to error or fraud. The Company is not required to have, nor were we engaged to perform, an
audit of its internal control over financial reporting. As part of our audits, we are required to obtain an understanding of internal
control over financial reporting, but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of the Companys internal
control over financial reporting. Accordingly, we express no such opinion.
Our audits included performing procedures to assess the risks of material
misstatement of the financial statements, whether due to error or fraud, and performing procedures that respond to those risks. Such procedures
included examining, on a test basis, evidence regarding the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements. Our audits also included
evaluating the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall presentation
of the financial statements. We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.
**Critical
Audit Matters**
Critical audit matters are matters arising from the current period audit
of the financial statements that were communicated or required to be communicated to the audit committee and that: (1) relate to accounts
or disclosures that are material to the financial statements and (2) involved our especially challenging, subjective, or complex judgments.
We determined that there are no critical audit matters.

**IDAHO
COPPER CORPORATION**
**Notes
to the Consolidated Financial Statements**
**January
31, 2026**
**NOTE
1 NATURE OF OPERATIONS**
The
accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements include the financial statements of Idaho Copper Corporation (formerly known
as Joway Health Industries Group Inc.) (referred to herein as Idaho Copper). Idaho Copper is hereinafter referred to as
the Company, we, and us.
On
February 3, 2022, the Company consummated the transactions contemplated by the Stock Purchase Agreement dated as of January 31, 2022
(the Purchase Agreement), by and among the Company, Crystal Globe Limited, a company incorporated under the laws of British
Virgin Islands (the Seller), and JHP Holdings, Inc., a Nevada corporation (the Buyer), pursuant to which
the Buyer purchased 832,241 shares of common stock of the Company from the Seller.
On
January 23, 2023, the Company entered into and consummated the transactions contemplated by a share exchange agreement (the Share
Exchange Agreement) by and among the Company, International CuMo Mining Corporation, an Idaho corporation (ICUMO),
and all of the shareholders of ICUMO (collectively, the ICUMO Shareholders). Pursuant to the terms of the Share Exchange
Agreement (the RTO), the ICUMO Shareholders transferred all the issued and outstanding shares of common stock of ICUMO
to the Company in exchange for 9,112,000 shares of the Companys common stock, par value $0.001 per share. As a result of this
share exchange (the Exchange), ICUMO became a wholly owned subsidiary of the Company. See Note 6. For financial reporting
purposes, the acquisition of ICUMO and the change of control in connection with the acquisition represented a reverse merger
and ICUMO is deemed to be the accounting acquirer in the transaction. ICUMO is the acquirer for financial reporting purposes, and the
Company is the acquired company. Consequently, the assets and liabilities and the operations that are reflected in the historical financial
statements prior to the acquisition are those of ICUMO.
The
Company continues to be a smaller reporting company, as defined under the Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the Exchange
Act) following the Exchange, however, as a result of the Exchange, the Company has ceased to be a shell company
(as such term is defined in Rule 12b-2 under the Exchange Act).
**ICUMO
Background**
ICUMO
is an exploration and development company with mineral right interests in the United States of America. ICUMO was originally incorporated
under the laws of Nevada in 2005, as Mosquito Mining Corp. In 2013, the Company was moved to Idaho and the name changed to Idaho CuMo
Mining Corporation. In early February 2023 the name was changed to Idaho Copper Corporation.
**Nature
of Operations**
The
Company is in the process of exploring its mineral rights interests in the United States and as of the date of these condensed consolidated
financial statements, has not yet determined whether any of its mineral properties contain economically recoverable mineral reserves.
Accordingly, the carrying amount of mineral right interests represents cumulative expenditures incurred to date and does not necessarily
reflect present or future values. The recovery of these costs is dependent upon the discovery of economically recoverable mineral reserves
and the ability of the Company to obtain the necessary financing to complete their exploration and development and to resolve any environmental,
regulatory, or other constraints. Uncertainty also exists with respect to the recoverability of the carrying value of certain mineral
rights interests. The ability of the Company to realize its investment in resource properties is contingent upon the resolution of the
uncertainties and confirmation of the Companys title to the mineral properties.
NOTE
2 - SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
**Basis
of Presentation**
The
Company follows the accrual basis of accounting in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles in the United States of America
(US GAAP) and has a year-end of January 31. On March 9, 2023, the Company filed with the State of Nevada for a year-end
change from December 31 to January 31. The condensed consolidated financial statements are based on the balance sheets and statements
of operations of ICUMO on a post-merger basis.
**Principles
of Consolidation**
The
consolidated financial statements include the accounts of the Company and its wholly owned subsidiary. All significant intercompany balances
and transactions have been eliminated in the consolidation. The condensed consolidated financial statements included herein, are presented
in accordance with US GAAP, and stated in United States dollars, and have been prepared by the Company, pursuant to the rules and regulations
of the SEC.
| F-7 | |
****
**Liquidity
and Going Concern**
We
have incurred recurring losses since inception and expect to continue to incur losses as a result of legal and professional fees and
our corporate general and administrative expenses. On January 31, 2026, we had $24,274
in cash. Our net loss incurred for the year ended January 31,
2026, was $3,074,964 and
the working capital deficit was $4,586,051 on
January 31, 2026. As a result, there is substantial doubt about our ability to continue as a going concern. In the event that we are
unable to generate sufficient cash from our operating activities or raise additional funds, we may be required to delay, reduce or severely
curtail our operations or otherwise impede our on-going business efforts, which could have a material adverse effect on our business,
operating results, financial condition and long-term prospects. The Company expects to seek to obtain additional funding through increased
revenues and future financing. There can be no assurance as to the availability or terms upon which such financing and capital might
be available. The accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared assuming that the Company will continue
as a going concern.
**Use
of Estimates**
The
preparation of condensed consolidated financial statements in conformity with US GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions
that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities, and disclosure of contingent liabilities at the date of the condensed consolidated
financial statements, and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from
those estimates.
**Cash**
Cash
is comprised of cash balances. Cash is held at major financial institutions and is subject to credit risk to the extent that those balances
exceed applicable Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation (FDIC) insurance amounts of $250,000. From time to time, the Company
has certain cash balances, including restricted cash, that may exceed insured limits. The Company utilizes large and reputable banking
institutions which it believes mitigates these risks. The Company has not experienced any losses in such accounts. As of January 31,
2026, the Companys cash balance did not exceed the insurance limits.
**Stock-Based
Compensation**
The
Company accounts for stock-based instruments issued to employees in accordance with ASC Topic 718, *Compensation Stock Compensation,
and Certain Redeemable Financial Instruments*. Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) Accounting Standards Codification
(ASC) Topic 718 requires companies to recognize in the statement of operations the grant-date fair value of stock options
and other equity-based compensation issued to employees. The value of the portion of an award that is ultimately expected to vest is
recognized as an expense over the requisite service periods using the straight-line attribution method.
**Fair
Value of Financial Instruments**
The
book values of cash and accounts payable approximate their respective fair values due to the short-term nature of these instruments.
The fair value hierarchy under US GAAP distinguishes between assumptions based on market data (observable inputs) and an entitys
own assumptions (unobservable inputs).
**The
hierarchy consists of three levels**
| 
| 
| 
Level
one Quoted market prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities; | |
| 
| 
| 
| |
| 
| 
| 
Level
two Inputs other than level one inputs that are either directly or indirectly observable; and | |
| 
| 
| 
| |
| 
| 
| 
Level
three Unobservable inputs developed using estimates and assumptions, which are developed by the reporting entity and reflect
those assumptions that a market participant would use. | |
Determining
which category an asset or liability falls within the hierarchy requires significant judgment. We evaluate our hierarchy disclosures
each quarter.
**Net
Loss Per Share**
Net
loss per common share is computed by dividing net loss by the weighted average common shares outstanding during the period as defined
by FASB, ASC Topic 260, *Earnings per Share*. Basic earnings per common share (EPS) calculations are determined by
dividing net income by the weighted average number of shares of common stock outstanding during the year. Diluted earnings per common
share calculations are determined by dividing net income by the weighted average number of common shares and dilutive common share equivalents
outstanding.
**Income
Taxes**
The
Company accounts for income taxes in accordance with FASB ASC 740, *Income Taxes*. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are recognized
for the future tax consequences attributable to temporary differences between the financial statements carrying amounts of existing assets
and liabilities and loss carryforwards and their respective tax bases.
| F-8 | |
Deferred
tax assets and liabilities are measured using enacted tax rates expected to apply to taxable income (loss) in the years in which those
temporary differences are expected to be recovered or settled.
The
effect of a change in tax rules on deferred tax assets and liabilities is recognized in operations in the year of change. A valuation
allowance is recorded when it is more likely-than-not that a deferred tax asset will not be realized.
Tax
benefits of uncertain tax positions are recognized only if it is more likely than not that the Company will be able to sustain a position
taken on an income tax return. The Company has no liability for uncertain tax positions as of January 31, 2026. Interest and penalties,
if any, related to unrecognized tax benefits would be recognized as interest expense. The Company does not have any accrued interest
or penalties associated with unrecognized tax benefits, nor was any significant interest expense recognized during the year ended January
31, 2026.
**Recently
Issued and Adopted Accounting Pronouncements**
In
August 2020, the FASB issued ASU No. 2020-06, *DebtDebt with Conversion and Other Options (Subtopic 470-20) and Derivatives
and HedgingContracts in Entitys Own Equity (Subtopic 815-40): Accounting for convertible Instruments and Contracts in an
Entitys Own Equity*, to address the complexity in accounting for certain financial instruments with characteristics of liabilities
and equity. This ASU significantly changes the guidance on the issuers accounting for convertible instruments and the guidance
on the derivative scope exception for contracts in an entitys own equity so that fewer conversion features will require separate
recognition, and fewer freestanding instruments, like warrants which require liability treatment. ASU 2020-06 is effective for smaller
reporting companies for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2023. The Company adopted this standard on February 1, 2024. As a result,
the Company derecognized $405,305 for the remaining balance of the unamortized beneficial conversion features attributable to its outstanding
convertible notes payable. The Company elected to use the modified retrospective approach as of the adoption date and recognized an adjustment
to the opening balance of its accumulated deficit in the amount of $405,305.
In
November 2024, the FASB issued ASU 2024-03, *Income Statement Reporting Comprehensive Income Expense Disaggregation
Disclosures*(ASU 2024-03). ASU 2024-03 is intended to improve disclosures about a public business entitys expenses
and provide more detailed information to investors about the types in commonly presented expense captions. The guidance is effective
for annual periods beginning after December 15, 2026, and quarterly periods beginning after December 31, 2027, and can be adopted prospectively
to financial statements issued for reporting periods after the effective date or retrospectively to all prior periods presented in the
financial statements. The Company is currently evaluating the potential impact of this guidance on its financial statements.
**Convertible
Debentures**
The
Company presents convertible debentures separately in its debt and equity components within the balance sheet. The fair value of a compound
instrument at issuance is assigned to its respective debt and equity components. The fair value of the debt component is established
first with the equity component being determined by the residual amount.
The
Company measures the cost of equity-settled transactions with employees by reference to the fair value of the equity instruments at the
date in which they are granted. Estimating fair values for share-based payment transactions requires determining the most appropriate
valuation model, which is dependent on the terms and conditions of the grant.
The
fair value of the Companys stock option and warrant grants are estimated using the Black-Scholes-Merton Option Pricing model,
which uses certain assumptions related to risk-free interest rates, expected volatility, expected life of the stock options or warrants,
and future dividends. Compensation expenses are recorded based upon the value derived from the Black-Scholes-Merton Option Pricing model
and based on actual experience. The assumptions used in the Black-Scholes-Merton Option Pricing model could materially affect compensation
expense recorded in future periods.
**Unproven
Mineral Right Interests**
The
Company will capitalize into intangible assets all costs, net of any recoveries, of acquiring, exploring, and evaluating an unproven
mineral right interest, until the rights to which they relate are placed into production, at which time these deferred costs will be
amortized over the estimated useful life of the rights upon commissioning the property, or written-off if the rights are disposed of,
impaired or abandoned, when applicable.
Management
reviews the carrying amounts of mineral rights annually or when there are indicators of impairment and will recognize impairment based
upon current exploration results and upon assessment of the probability of profitable exploitation of the rights. An indication of impairment
includes but is not limited to expiration of the right to explore, substantive expenditure in the specific area is neither budgeted nor
planned, and if the entity has decided to discontinue exploration activity in a specific area. Managements assessment of the mineral
rights fair value is also based upon a review of other mineral right transactions that have occurred in the same geographic area
as that of the rights under review.
Costs
will include the cash consideration and the fair value of shares issued on the acquisition of mineral rights. Rights acquired under option
or joint venture agreements, whereby payments are made at the sole discretion of the Company, are not accrued and are only recorded in
the accounts when the payments are made. Proceeds from property option payments received by the Company are netted against the deferred
costs of the related mineral rights, with any excess being included in operations.
| F-9 | |
The
application of the Companys accounting policy for unproven mineral right interests requires judgment in determining whether it
is likely that future economic benefits will flow to the Company, which may be based on assumptions about future events or circumstances.
Estimates and assumptions may change if new information becomes available. If, after expenditures are capitalized, information becomes
available suggesting that the recovery of the expenditures is unlikely, the amount capitalized is impaired with a corresponding charge
to profit or loss in the period in which the new information becomes available.
There
may be material uncertainties associated with the Companys title and ownership of its unproven mineral right interests. Ordinarily
the Company does not own the land upon which an interest is located, and title may be subject to unregistered prior agreements or transfers
or other undetected defects.
**Impairment
of Long-Lived Assets**
The
Companys future long-lived assets and other assets (consisting of property and equipment) will be reviewed for impairment in accordance
with the guidance of the FASB ASC Topic 360-10, *Property, Plant, and Equipment*. Long lived assets are reviewed for impairment
whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of an asset may not be recoverable. Recoverability of assets
to be held and used are measured by a comparison of the carrying amount of an asset to the undiscounted future net cash flows expected
to be generated by that asset. If the carrying amount of an asset exceeds its estimated future undiscounted cash flows, an impairment
charge is recognized by the amount by which the carrying amount of the asset exceeds the fair value of the asset.
**Reclamation
Provision**
An
obligation to incur restoration, rehabilitation and environmental costs arises when environmental disturbance is caused by the exploration,
development, or ongoing production of a mineral property interest. Such costs arising from the decommissioning of plant and other site
preparation work, discounted to their net present value, are provided and capitalized at the start of each project to the carrying amount
of the asset, as soon as the obligation to incur such costs arises. Discount rates using a pre-tax rate that reflect the time value of
money are used to calculate the net present value. These costs are charged against profit or loss over the economic life of the related
asset, through amortization using either the unit-of-production or straight-line method. The related liability is adjusted for each period
for the unwinding of the discount rate and for changes to the current market-based discount rate, amount or timing of the underlying
cash flows needed to settle the obligation. Costs for restoration of subsequent site damage which is created on an ongoing basis during
production are provided for at their net present values and charged against profits as extraction progresses. As of October 31, 2025,
there are no costs as production has not yet commenced.
**Related
Party Transactions**
Parties
are considered to be related if one party has the ability, directly or indirectly, to control the other party or exercise significant
influence over the other party in making financial and operating decisions. Parties are also considered to be related if they are subject
to common control or significant common influence, related parties may be individuals or corporate entities. A transaction is considered
to be a related party transaction when there is a transfer of resources or obligations between related parties. Related party transactions
that are in the normal course of business and have commercial substance are measured at the exchange amount, which is determined on a
cost recovery basis.
**Stock
Purchase Warrants**
The
Company accounts for warrants issued to purchase shares of its common stock as equity in accordance with FASB ASC 480, *Accounting
for Derivative Financial Instruments Indexed to, and Potentially Settled in, a Companys Own Stock, Distinguishing Liabilities
from Equity.* We determine the accounting classification of warrants we issue, as either liability or equity classified, by first
assessing whether the warrants meet liability classification in accordance with ASC 480-10, *Accounting for Certain Financial Instruments
with Characteristics of both Liabilities and Equity*, then in accordance with ASC 815-40, *Accounting for Derivative Financial Instruments
Indexed to, and Potentially Settled in, a Companys Own Stock*. Under ASC 480, warrants are considered liability classified
if the warrants are mandatorily redeemable, obligate us to settle the warrants or the underlying shares by paying cash or other assets,
and warrants that must or may require settlement by issuing variable number of shares. If warrants do not meet the liability classification
under ASC 480-10, we assess the requirements under ASC 815-40, which states that contracts that require or may require the issuer to
settle the contract for cash are liabilities recorded at fair value, irrespective of the likelihood of the transaction occurring that
triggers the net cash settlement feature.
If
the warrants do not require liability classification under ASC 815-40, in order to conclude equity classification, we also assess whether
the warrants are indexed to our common stock and whether the warrants are classified as equity under ASC 815-40 or other US GAAP. After
all such assessments, we conclude whether the warrants are classified as liability or equity. Liability classified warrants require fair
value accounting at issuance and subsequent to initial issuance with all changes in fair value after the issuance date recorded in the
statements of operations. Equity classified warrants only require fair value accounting at issuance with no changes recognized subsequent
to the issuance date.
**NOTE
2 RECLAMATION BONDS AND PROVISIONS**
**Reclamation
Bonds and Provisions**
During
2016, the Company entered into a surety agreement that guarantees the reclamation bond on the CuMo Property. In order to maintain the
good standing of this surety, the Company is required to make an annual payment of $8,340. The Company has a deposit of $100,000 (as
reflected in Deposit on the balance sheet) for the reclamation bond which has a face value of $278,000 as determined by the United States
Department of Agriculture Forest Service.
The
security deposit is refundable when the Company completes the required reclamation clean-up costs.

**NOTE
7 COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES**
Other
than the potential challenges to the Exploration PoP anticipated to be filed by environmental and non-government organizations in opposition
to exploration at CuMo, we have no knowledge of any material, active, pending or threatened proceeding against us or our subsidiaries,
nor are we, or any subsidiary, involved as a plaintiff or defendant in any material proceeding or pending litigation. The defense of
such claims, or any adverse outcome relating to any such claims, could have a material adverse effect on the Companys liquidity,
financial condition and cash flows.
Certain
conditions may exist as of the date the condensed consolidated financial statements are issued, which may result in a loss to the Company,
but which will only be resolved when one or more future events occur or fail to occur. The Companys management and its legal counsel
assess such contingent liabilities, and such assessment inherently involves an exercise of judgment. In assessing loss contingencies
related to legal proceedings that are pending against the Company or unasserted claims that may result in such proceedings, the Companys
legal counsel evaluates the perceived merits of any legal proceedings or unasserted claims as well as the perceived merits of the amount
of relief sought or expected to be sought therein.
| F-18 | |
If
the assessment of a contingency indicates that it is probable that a material loss has been incurred and the amount of the liability
can be estimated, then the estimated liability would be accrued in the Companys condensed consolidated financial statements. If
the assessment indicates that a potentially material loss contingency is not probable but is reasonably possible, or is probable but
cannot be estimated, then the nature of the contingent liability, together with an estimate of the range of possible loss if determinable
and material, would be disclosed.
Loss
contingencies considered remote are generally not disclosed unless they involve guarantees, in which case the nature of the guarantee
would be disclosed.
The
Company entered into a new long-term lease agreement for warehouse space in Idaho. The lease began on April 1, 2024, with an initial
period of 3
years and an optional 3-year
renewal at the end of the initial term. The Company may cancel the lease at any time after 13
months from the effective date of the lease by providing a 3-month notice of cancellation. The base lease payment is $3,600
through January 1, 2026, at which point base rent increases to $3,700
until January 1, 2027, at which point it increases to $3,800
until January 1, 2028, at which point it increases to $3,900.
Prior to entering into this lease agreement, the Company was a party to a month-to-month lease which it had not terminated. The
lessor and the Company agreed regain access to the warehouse including obtaining access to the Companys property contained
within such warehouse, the lessor agreed to the following additional payments. A single payment of $100,000
which was paid on March 5, 2024, and $6,000
per month beginning May 1, 2024, and ending on February 1, 2025.
Initially,
the Company measures the right of use asset and liability associated with its office lease using the following inputs:
SCHEDULE
OF INPUTS OF RIGHT OF USE ASSET AND LIABILITY
| 
Remaining lease term (in years) | | 
| 0.25 | | |
| 
Discount rate | | 
| 12 | % | |
The
remaining term of the lease was based on the amount of time left before the Company may exercise its right to cancel the lease,
which is 13
months.
The
Company considered whether it was probable it would exercise and extend beyond the initial 3-year term and determined it was not probable
that the Company would exercise this renewal option.
The
Company records rent on straight-line basis over the terms of the underlying lease. Estimated future minimum lease payments under the
lease are as follows:

The

**NOTE
8 INCOME TAXES**
As
of January 31, 2026, and 2025, the Company has net operating loss carry forwards of $1,726,961 and $1,311,365, respectively, which may
be available to reduce future years taxable income through 2043. The Companys net operating loss carry forwards may be
subject to annual limitations, which could reduce or defer the utilization of the losses as a result of an ownership change as defined
in Section 382 of the Internal Revenue Code.
The
Companys tax expense differs from the expected tax expense for Federal income tax purposes (computed by applying
the United States Federal tax rate of 21% and state rate of 5% to loss before taxes for fiscal years 2026 and 2025), as follows:

The
tax effects of the temporary differences between reportable financial statement income and taxable income are recognized as deferred
tax assets and liabilities.
The
tax years 2023 through 2026 remain open for examination by federal agencies and other jurisdictions in which it operates.

The
tax effect of significant components of the Companys deferred tax assets and liabilities at January 31, 2026, and 2025, are as
follows:

In
assessing the realizability of deferred tax assets, management considers whether it is more likely than not that some portion or all
of the deferred tax assets will not be realized. The ultimate realization of deferred tax assets is dependent upon the generation of
future taxable income during the periods in which those temporary differences become deductible. Management considers the scheduled reversal
of deferred tax liabilities, projected future taxable income and tax planning strategies in making this assessment.
Because
of the historical earnings history of the Company, the net deferred tax assets are offset by a 100% valuation allowance. The valuation
allowance for the remaining net deferred tax assets was $1,726,961 and $1,311,365 as of January 31, 2026, and 2025, respectively.
