IDEX Metals Corp. Identifies Porphyry System at Freeze Property

Vancouver, B.C. — March 25, 2026 — Leads & Copy —

IDEX Metals Corp. (TSXV: IDEX; OTCQB:IDXMF) has released results from its 2025 soil geochemistry program at the Freeze Property in Idaho, USA. The program identified a multi-kilometer hydrothermal footprint, suggesting an intrusive-centered porphyry copper-molybdenum system.

The soil geochemistry data, combined with drill results and geophysical data from the 2025 exploration season, indicates a buried intrusive center beneath the North Breccia-Kismet Corridor.

The company's CEO, Clayton Fisher, stated that the 2025 program at Freeze has provided a clear picture of the potential mineralized system within the Kismet Corridor. He added that soil geochemistry has corroborated lithological observations in drilling and overlapping geophysical anomalies, suggesting a potential buried mineralized intrusive at North Breccia.

Soil geochemistry suggests a buried intrusive centre under the North Breccia-Kismet Corridor:

Molybdenum at the core of the North Breccia-Kismet Corridor: a concentrated molybdenum anomaly approximately 700 to 900 m in length is expressed at surface along the North Breccia-Kismet Corridor, representing the strongest and most reliable indicator of proximity to a mineralized buried intrusion

Tellurium confirms the high-temperature signal: tellurium enrichment overlaps the molybdenum core at North Breccia and western Kismet, providing a significant vector towards a high temperature source

Copper wraps around the core: elevated copper values form a shell around the anomalous molybdenum domain across a width of 400 to 700 m. This copper halo is also coincident with tourmaline-copper breccia showings locally, and a broader dispersal pattern

Metal ratios vector inward to the source: copper-to-molybdenum ratios are lowest directly over the center of the Kismet target and increase progressively outward, pointing to a single buried intrusive center beneath the North Breccia

Soil geochemistry, drill results, and geophysics converge at the North Breccia:

Three independent datasets all lead the Company to the same conclusion: the highest-priority target lies beneath the North Breccia and immediate drill testing is required

2026 exploration season set to commence April 2026:

Induced Polarization survey is expected to begin in early April 2026, with the Phase II Drill Program to follow in late April to early May.

The 2025 soil survey reveals a concentrically zoned metal system centered on the North Breccia and Kismet Corridor. Molybdenum and tellurium define the innermost zone, surrounded by a copper shell, and an envelope of tungsten and bismuth.

Copper-to-molybdenum ratios are lowest over the North Breccia and Kismet core and increase outwards, indicating a buried intrusion and mineralization source.

The presence of high-temperature indicators like molybdenum and tellurium at surface suggests that the erosion level at Kismet intersects the upper portion of the porphyry system.

The soil geochemistry findings are supported by magnetotelluric (MT) and Vector IP geophysical data acquired during the 2025 field season. The Kismet Breccia Complex produces a resistive geophysical response at surface, while the MT inversion defines a conductive zone at moderate depth corresponding to a pyrite-rich shell.

Property-wide MT data defines a conductive body at approximately 800 m depth beneath the North Breccia trend, aligning with the molybdenum and tellurium core defined by the soil survey.

IDEX’s 2026 exploration season is scheduled to commence in early April 2026 with an expanded Induced Polarization survey across the Kismet Corridor, followed by drilling at the North Breccia porphyry target in late April to early May. The company also anticipates continuing with generative surface exploration, which includes mapping and soil & rock sampling across the remaining unexplored areas of the project.
