[{"type":"text","content":"IDEX Metals Receives USFS Approval & Provides Drilling Update for Freeze Project, Idaho\n\n\n (TheNewswire)\n \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n Vancouver, B.C. –\n \n\n TheNewswire -\n \n\n August 25, 2025\n \n\n –\nIDEX Metals Corp. (“IDEX” or the “Company”) (TSXV: IDEX;\nOTCQB: IDXMF) is pleased to announce that the U.S. Forest Service\n(“USFS”) has approved the Company’s Plan of Operations under a\nCategorial Exclusion (“CE”) for expanded exploration at its 100%\nowned Freeze Project, located in Washington County, Idaho, USA.\n \n\n\n\n With the CE approval in place, IDEX is now positioned\nto advance exploration on its highly prospective USFS claims that form\nthe western part of the Freeze project. Anticipated work programs\ninclude diamond drilling, ground-based geophysics, and expanded\nmapping and sampling programs, all aimed at advancing the Company’s\nmagmatic-hydrothermal copper-gold model. This approval also allows for\nfuture drilling at the CM prospect, a large previously untested target\nthat will complement ongoing drilling at the Kismet area.\n \n\n\n\n\n\n Clayton Fisher, CEO of\nIDEX Metals, commented: “We’re really pleased to have the green\nlight to drill CM. It’s a big target we’ve been eager to test and\nadding it to the program makes this project even more exciting. With\ncurrent drilling at Kismet, and the CM prospect now ready to go, we\nhave a real opportunity to show the scale of what is emerging at the\nFreeze Project.”\n \n\n\n\n\n\n Drilling Update: Kismet Target\n \n\n\n\n The 2025 drill program at the Kismet target was\ndesigned with two primary objectives: (1) to confirm the sub-surface\npresence of a mineralized tourmaline-bearing breccia reported in\nhistorical records (see\n \n\n\n June 10\n \n\n\n\n th\n \n\n\n\n , 2025, news release\n \n\n\n ), and (2) to test at depth for a potential causative\nporphyry source to the breccia.\n \n\n\n\n IDEX has now completed the first drill hole (KSMT25001)\nof the 2025 season at the Kismet target. KSMT25001 was designed to\ntest and confirm the existence and extent of the tourmaline breccia\nand associated intrusive lithologies documented at surface and in\nhistorical reports.
