[{"type":"text","content":"\n Boise, Idaho, March 25, 2025 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Idaho Copper Corp. (OTC Pink: COPR) is pleased to announce that on March 14, 2025 the United States Forest Service, Boise National Forest (“USFS”) issued a Decision Notice and Finding of No Significant Impact under an Environmental Assessment approving the Company’s Plan of Operations (“PoO”) to conduct exploration drilling and related activities at its CuMo project located in Boise County, Idaho. Andrew Brodkey, Company CEO commented, “This is a major milestone for Idaho Copper. We have been working with the Forest Service since 2016 to build a plan that complies with myriad federal laws and regulations to ensure that exploration activities at CuMo will not have any significant effect on the environment. The Forest Service has done an admirable job, with hundreds of pages of specialist reports addressing all conceivable environmental concerns from exploration. In addition, the Decision Notice requires the Company to implement dozens of mitigation measures and best management practices designed to protect the environment. Idaho Copper’s work under the PoO will consist mainly of temporary road building, maintenance, and drilling activities, and requires that when complete, all roads, drillpads, and drillholes are properly closed and reclaimed. Most importantly, there will be no significant impact to the Boise River, its tributaries, or the Boise River Watershed, through the application of mitigating measures set forth in the Forest Service Decision Notice.\" The exploration activities outlined in the PoO are needed to develop additional data to determine if a future decision to proceed with a mine is justified. Nothing beyond exploration has been approved by the Forest Service via this DN, and any decision to develop a mine is years away. Any such decision will depend, among other things, on the preparation of an Environmental Impact Statement (“EIS”) under federal law, in which the public will have the right to participate.
