Intrepid Metals Corp. (TSXV: INTR,OTC:IMTCF) (OTCQB: IMTCF) ("Intrepid" or the "Company") announces that it has entered into an agreement (the "CC Amendment") to amend the Share Purchase Option Agreement dated February 14, 2023, as amended March 17, 2025, with Cave Creek Copper Inc ("Cave Creek") and the shareholders of Cave Creek (the "Cave Creek Shareholders") to acquire a 100% of the shares of Cave Creek which holds a portion of the Corral Copper Project ("Corral Copper") located in Cochise County, Arizona. The CC Amendment provides for an extension to make certain cash payments to November 30, 2025. Subject to the approval of the TSX Venture Exchange ("TSXV"), in return for the extension the cash payment amount shall be increased by $20,737.50 to $435,487.50, 38,725 common shares ("Common Shares") shall be issued and 220,000 warrants shall be issued in each case to Cave Creek Shareholders.
