         “The completion of our go-public transaction and fully  subscribed financing marks a major milestone for IDEX Metals,” stated  Clayton Fisher, CEO of IDEX. “With a strong treasury, an experienced  technical team, and a portfolio of highly prospective projects across  Idaho, we are positioned to execute an aggressive exploration program at  our flagship Freeze Project. We are excited to begin drilling in the  coming months and advance what we believe is a district-scale  copper-gold opportunity in the newly emerging Idaho Copper Belt.” 
       Corporate Update and Corporate Strategy 
       IDEX began trading on the TSX Venture Exchange under the  symbol “IDEX”, on the back of closing the Go-Public Transaction, via  reverse takeover of Goodbridge Capital Corp (GODB.P) (see May 30, 2025,  news releases). The recently closed oversubscribed private placement  raised gross proceeds of C$ 5,010,000 issuing 10,020,000 units at a price of C$0.50 per unit (see  April 10, 2025, news release). This strong support positions IDEX to move aggressively into the next phase of its exploration strategy. 
       Founded in 2021, IDEX combines grassroots project  generation with strategic land acquisition, with the goal of uncovering  new precious and base metal deposits in the State of Idaho. Idaho  presents a favourable political jurisdiction, with corresponding  underexplored geology. Over the past  four years, IDEX has deployed over $2.5 million systematically  evaluating, exploring, staking and acquiring a portfolio of over 15  exploration projects across the state of Idaho. The company intends to  advance Freeze, Amie, and Mineral Mountain (Figure 1), while the  remaining projects are available for option to provide non-dilutive value to IDEX.

       Freeze Project – Cu-Au Porphyry Target with Discovery Potential 
       The Freeze Project is IDEX’s flagship asset, located in  Washington and Adams Counties, Idaho (Figure 2). The 100%-owned property  now spans 31,000 acres which includes the Kismet Tourmaline Breccia  Pipe, a high-priority drill target identified by historical drilling and  surface sampling.  
       Situated within the newly emerging Idaho Copper Belt  (ICB), the Freeze project lies in a district that has recently drawn the  interest of major industry players including  Barrick Gold, Rio Tinto, BHP, Electrum and Teck Resources. IDEX also  joins Hercules Metals as one of the largest landholders in the ICB and  is located in a favourable geologic setting for porphyry mineralization  (Figure 3).  
            
       Figure 2. The Idaho Copper Belt showing the Freeze Project and district land ownership 
       The ICB is characterized as an uplifted and accreted  Mesozoic terrane, approximately 19 kilometres in width. This structure  is enveloped by the younger Columbia River Basalt Group. The area is  characterized by a Triassic Intrusive complex, that is host to a series  of mineralized porphyry intrusions that are overlain by a  Triassic-Jurassic assemblage of volcanic, volcaniclastic and sedimentary  rocks that have subsequently been moderately tilted to the northwest.  As a result, the assemblage is characterized by a northwest dipping  assemblage of volcanic and sedimentary rocks, with southeast plunging  porphyry stocks, breccia pipes and dykes/sills.  
       The Freeze property displays similar geological characteristics to the  Leviathan Copper-Molybdenum discovery made by Hercules Metals, and the  Cuddy Mountain property owned by Scout Discoveries. The Freeze property  remains largely underexplored, with only 13% of the land package, by  area, having been explored to date. IDEX has spent two exploration  seasons and over $1 million advancing the Freeze project to being drill  ready in Q3 2025. Through this work the company has also delineated the  Kismet Tourmaline Breccia Pipe, where historical drilling intersected a zone of 41.15 m at 0.853% copper 9.14 metres from surface (Hole 4, Tables 1 and 2, from Shannon, 1968).

       Figure 3. Geological and structural model of the Freeze Project showing interpreted cross-section (top) and plan view (bottom) 
       The Kismet Tourmaline Breccia Pipe is characterized by a  localized phyllic alteration, consisting of sericite and disseminated  pyrite overprinting brecciated clasts of porphyritic intrusive.  Secondary copper minerals are prevalent and occur as malachite with  lesser azurite overprinting primary chalcopyrite.  At surface, an oxide zone of hematite / specularite with interstitial  tourmaline also exists. These are primary characteristics of tourmaline  breccia pipes which can be associated with porphyry deposits (Kirwin,  2021).

       Geological Work to Date at Freeze Project 
       To date, 1,320 soil samples and 119 rock samples have  been taken over 2 major grass-roots exploration campaigns (Figure 4).  The preliminary survey was conducted over the United States Forest  Service (USFS) group of claims that encapsulate the Cuddy Mine (CM)  Target. Soil samples were taken at 50 m sample spacing and 200 m line  spacings as a first pass to gain an understanding of the mineralization  trends of the Freeze property. Additional soils were also taken over the  Kismet prospect. 
       The preliminary soil surveys uncovered two major anomalies. On the USFS land, the CM target displays a ~1,500 x 2,000 m copper-in-soil  anomaly that trends NE-SW and correlates to a discrete zone at surface  of sericite altered rock. Select samples of rocks showing secondary  copper mineralization (malachite and azurite) from dumps adjacent to  shallow historic pits within this zone, have received results between 0.1 – 3.5% copper. At Kismet, a ~500 x 500 m concentric copper-in-soil anomaly  is present. This anomaly is interpreted to represent, in-part, the  surface expression of the known Kismet tourmaline breccia pipe.  
       Note: Soil sampling surveys are not  definitive, and the results are still at an early stage of  interpretation, with no guarantee of a mineral discovery.

       Figure 4. Soil sampling results from  the 2023-2024 field seasons displaying percentile values of copper in  soil. The CM Target occurs to the west, and Kismet Breccia Pipe Target  is in the east. 
       At the Freeze project, surface rock sampling also  identified an area of gold mineralization (Figures 5 and 6). Significant  gold values were obtained from vein-hosted mineralization with intense  sericite alteration accompanied by pyrite and specular hematite. Veins  were composed of quartz and often displayed vuggy textures with commonly  oxidized sulphides and locally secondary copper mineralization. Of 121  rock samples collected, results ranged from trace to the highest gold  value recorded of 33 g/t Au  (sample 971793) from a float sample located adjacent to historic  workings. Of the samples collected throughout the target areas, 18  samples yielded results over 1 g/t Au, and other highlights include 12.6 g/t Au (sample 971814), 4.3 g/t Au (sample 971809) and 3.1 g/t Au (sample 971882), respectively.

       Geophysics 
       An 8 line, 31-line kilometer 3D Induced Polarization (IP) survey,  with 200 m line spacing, was also completed in 2024 by DIAS Geophysical  of Vancouver, BC. The survey was focused on the USFS land component of  the Freeze property over the ~1,500 x 2,000 m copper-in-soil anomaly at  the CM target (Figures 7 and 8). Results from the survey revealed a  prominent high chargeability anomaly that is interpreted to correlate  with the strong copper-in-soil anomaly. The chargeability anomaly is  flanked by a series of resistive highs that surround the chargeability  high and occur largely within the copper-in-soil anomaly. Together,  these geophysical responses are highly characteristic of phyllic alteration zones surrounding porphyry centers. 
       The integration of these IP results with surface mapping,  geochemistry, and regional structural interpretations significantly  enhances IDEX’s ability to refine and prioritize high-probability drill  targets at the CM target. 
       Note: Geophysical surveys are not  definitive, and the results are still at an early stage of  interpretation, with no guarantee of a mineral discovery.

       Next Steps for IDEX Metals 
     -   Q3 2025: Mobilization and commencement of the 2025 exploration program including:  
    -   Up to 2,500 metres of diamond drilling at the Kismet and Cuddy Mine (CM) Target.  
    -   A property-wide generative exploration program with comprehensive mapping, soil sampling (~5,000 samples) and rock sampling.  
    -   A property-wide magnetotelluric (MT) geophysical survey  will be conducted with a follow up airborne ZTEM survey to help guide  exploration efforts and prioritize areas of interest around the property  delineating high-priority targets for field exploration and sampling.  
       -   Ongoing: Finalize  drill permitting on our USFS and IDL targets, corporate development  initiatives, and evaluation of new acquisition and partnership  opportunities.  
    -   2025/2026: Ongoing exploration and target definition at the Amie project.  
         Amie Project – Low Sulfidation Epithermal Gold-Silver System 
       The Amie Project, located in Owyhee County in  southeastern Idaho, is a low-sulfidation epithermal gold-silver system  approximately 20 miles from Integra Resources’ DeLamar Project. Early-stage  surface mapping and sampling conducted by IDEX has confirmed the  presence of classic epithermal alteration including structurally  controlled clay alteration, with banded quartz-carbonate veins that  occurs in Cretaceous-age granodiorite. Historic mine workings throughout  the property focused on these structurally controlled zones along a ~3  km trend, and preliminary rock sampling of mine dumps and outcrops has  resulted in gold results from trace of up to 106 g/t Au (sample CP-AMY-08; 547,248 E, 4,750,767 N, NAD83 Zone 11).  The  company has also completed property wide soil grids and surface mapping  at Amie, establishing the project as a promising drill ready asset  within IDEX’s portfolio.

       Mineral Mountain – High-Grade CRD Target with Polymetallic Potential 
       The Mineral Mountain Project is located in Lemhi County  in eastern Idaho, approximately 5 km from the town of Leadore, Idaho,  along Idaho Highway 28. Mineral Mountain hosts carbonate and  sedimentary-hosted deposits with silver, lead, copper, and zinc  mineralization, as well interpreted structurally controlled, quartz-rich  vein and breccia zones. The historic main deposits on the property host  similar geology to that of the Blackbird Co-Cu deposit in northern  Lemhi County. Rock samples taken by IDEX from historic surface workings have returned results in copper, silver and nickel, from trace up to 45.5% Cu (sample 220032; 310,316 E, 4,955,198 N, UTM NAD 83 Zone 12), 5,235 g/t Ag (sample  C0249576; 315,754 E, 4,961,662 N), and 2.645% Ni (sample C0249654;  312,686 E, 4,958,728 N). IDEX is currently advancing structural mapping  and early-stage exploration while evaluating partnership and joint  venture options to support further advancement of this project.

       QUALITY CONTROL 
       IDEX Metals implements rigorous quality assurance and  quality control (QA/QC) procedures throughout its exploration programs  to ensure the reliability and integrity of its geochemical results.  Analytical work for the exploration programs was carried out by MSALabs  and ALS USA Inc., both of which are independent of IDEX Metals and are  accredited to ISO 17025 and ISO 9001 standards. 
       During earlier exploration programs, the Company relied  on the internal QA/QC protocols of the laboratories. Both MSALabs and  ALS USA Inc. include internal standards, duplicates, and blanks in the  sample stream at set frequencies. These internal control samples are  reviewed prior to the release of assay certificates and are included  with the laboratory reporting, which has been reviewed by the Company’s  Qualified Person. 
       For sampling programs conducted during 2023 and 2024,  IDEX implemented its own independent QA/QC procedures. A total of five  blind certified reference materials (CRMs) and one blank sample were  systematically inserted into the sample stream at a frequency of  approximately one QA/QC sample for every ten geochemical samples (1:10).  These control samples were processed alongside the exploration samples  and reviewed upon receipt of analytical results. The QA/QC review  included statistical comparisons of assay results against certified  values for each standard. Samples with values exceeding two standard  deviations from the certified value were flagged for further evaluation  or potential re-analysis. Results were largely within acceptable limits,  and minor outliers were determined to be below thresholds that would  impact overall interpretation. 
       Sampling Methods 
       Soil samples were collected during the 2021–2024 field  seasons along grid lines spaced at either 400 or 200 meters, with  individual sample stations at approximately 50-meter intervals where  possible. Samples were retrieved from the B soil horizon, up to 50 cm  deep, using a spade or tree-planting shovel. They were placed in kraft  paper bags and sealed with zap-straps or flagging tape. Soil sampling  surveys are not definitive, and the results are still at an early stage  of interpretation, with no guarantee of a mineral discovery. 
       Rock samples were collected from outcrop, float, historic  workings, and mine dumps, placed in plastic bags, sealed, and labeled.  All samples were georeferenced using a handheld GPS, stored securely  during field campaigns, and shipped to the laboratory at the conclusion  of each program or as appropriate. Due to the complexity of multiple  years, labs, sample types and analytical procedures, the company has  elected to present a summary description of these details in the  following tables. Grab samples are selected samples and may not  represent true underlying mineralization.

     |          Qualified Person as defined under National Instrument 43-101 
       David Hladky, P.Geol. (registered in Alberta) and VP  Exploration of IDEX Metals Corp., a Qualified Person (“QP”) as defined  in National Instrument 43-101 Standards of Disclosure for Mineral Projects,   is responsible for the accuracy of, and has reviewed and approved the  use of the scientific, technical and historical information pertaining  to the Freeze, Mineral Mountain and Amie Projects (the “Projects”) in  this news release.  
       This news release includes technical information that was  generated by the Company during several programs during the 2021 to  2024 field seasons. There are no historical or current resource  estimates for the Projects. To the best of his knowledge, the technical  information pertaining to the Projects and discussion of it as disclosed  in this presentation is neither inaccurate or misleading. Verification  of this data has included participating in the program, reviewing assay  certificates, QAQC results and sample locations pertaining to these  programs. For the Exploration Information relating to the historic  drilling at the Kismet Prospect, details of the sampling methods,  security, assays and quality control methods used in the generation of  the data are pre-date NI 43-101 standards and are unknown, and cannot be  verified the QP. Regarding the breccia zone in particular, the QP  observed and sampled historic workings and showings and remnants of core  in the interpreted vicinity of the historic drill hole collar  locations. While the surface rock sample results as detailed in Figure 6  do not duplicate the exact core intervals and results, they do show  that significant values in Copper and Gold are present at the Kismet  Prospect. Only one (Hole 4) of four drillhole logs from the 1965  program was included in the Shannon report, and the Company does not  know, nor can currently verify, whether this hole is representative of  all four that were drilled in that program. Future drilling campaigns by  the Company will focus on drilling in the area of these results in  order to duplicate and confirm the historic drilling data.
