Intrepid Metals launches first gold-focused exploration program at Mattie prospect in Arizona

• Intrepid Metals began a rock and soil sampling program at the Mattie gold prospect within its Corral Copper Project in Cochise County, Arizona.
• The first gold-focused exploration work at Corral targets a 1,900-by-1,500-meter area using a 50-meter grid for about 1,170 soil samples.
• Fieldwork is expected to take about three weeks, aimed at defining the surface gold footprint, trend orientation, and drill targets.
• Results will be combined with historical data to refine the exploration model and guide potential follow-up work, including drilling.
• Mattie is positioned as a third mineralization style at Corral, alongside CRD mineralization and emerging porphyry copper targets.
