CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES.
Disclosure
Controls and Procedures
We
maintain disclosure controls and procedures, as defined in Rule 13a-15(e) and Rule 15d-15(e) promulgated under the Exchange Act that
are designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed by us in the reports that we file or submit under the Exchange Act is
recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in the SEC’s rules and forms and that such information
is accumulated and communicated to our senior management, consisting of Steven Rudofsky, President and Chief Executive Officer (Principal
Executive Officer) and Robert Scannell (Principal Financial and Accounting Officer), as appropriate to allow timely decisions regarding
required disclosure.
We
carried out an evaluation, under the supervision and with the participation of our senior management, consisting of Steven Rudofsky,
President and Chief Executive Officer (Principal Executive Officer) and Robert Scannell (Principal Financial and Accounting Officer),
of the effectiveness of the design and operation of our disclosure controls and procedures as of December 31, 2022. Based on the evaluation
of these disclosure controls and procedures, and in light of the material weaknesses found in our internal controls over financial reporting,
our senior management concluded that our disclosure controls and procedures were not effective.

Management’s
Report on Internal Control Over Financial Reporting
Our
management is responsible for establishing and maintaining adequate internal control over financial reporting. Internal control over
financial reporting is defined in Rule 13a-15(f) or 15d-15(f) promulgated under the Exchange Act as a process designed by, or under the
supervision of, our principal executive and principal financial officers and effected by our Board, management and other personnel, to
provide reasonable assurance regarding the reliability of financial reporting and the preparation of financial statements for external
purposes in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America and includes those policies and
procedures that (i) pertain to the maintenance of records that in reasonable detail accurately and fairly reflect the transactions and
dispositions of our assets; (ii) provide reasonable assurance that transactions are recorded as necessary to permit preparation of financial
statements in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States and that receipts and expenditures of the
company are being made only in accordance with authorizations of management and directors of the company; and (iii) provide reasonable
assurance regarding prevention or timely detection of unauthorized acquisition, use or disposition of our assets that could have a material
effect on the financial statements.
Because
of its inherent limitations, internal control over financial reporting may not prevent or detect misstatements. Projections of any evaluation
of effectiveness to future periods are subject to the risk that controls may become inadequate because of changes in conditions, or that
the degree of compliance with the policies or procedures may deteriorate. All internal control systems, no matter how well designed,
have inherent limitations. Therefore, even those systems determined to be effective can provide only reasonable assurance with respect
to financial statement preparation and presentation. Because of the inherent limitations of internal control, there is a risk that material
misstatements may not be prevented or detected on a timely basis by internal control over financial reporting. However, these inherent
limitations are known features of the financial reporting process. Therefore, it is possible to design into the process safeguards to
reduce, though not eliminate, this risk.
As
of December 31, 2022, management consisted solely of Ramon Lata, President, Treasurer and Secretary (Principal Executive Officer and
Principal Financial Officer). Current management assessed the effectiveness of our internal control over financial reporting based on
the criteria for effective internal control over financial reporting established in Internal Control--Integrated Framework issued by
the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission (“ COSO ”) in 2013 and SEC guidance on conducting
such assessments. Based on that evaluation, we believe that, during the period covered by this report, such internal controls and procedures
were not effective to detect the inappropriate application of US GAAP rules as more fully described below. This was due to deficiencies
that existed in the design or operation of our internal controls over financial reporting that adversely affected our internal controls
and that may be considered to be material weaknesses.
The
matters involving internal controls and procedures that our management considered to be material weaknesses under the standards of the
Public Company Accounting Oversight Board were: (1) lack of a functioning audit committee and a lack of independent directors on our
Board, resulting in ineffective oversight in the establishment and monitoring of required internal controls and procedures; (2) inadequate
segregation of duties consistent with control objectives; and (3) ineffective controls over period end financial disclosure and reporting
processes. The aforementioned material weaknesses were identified by Steven Rudofsky, President and Chief Executive Officer (Principal
Executive Officer) and Robert Scannell (Principal Financial and Accounting Officer) in connection with the review of our financial statements
as of December 31, 2022.
Management
believes that the material weaknesses set forth in items (2) and (3) above did not have an effect on our financial results. However,
management believes that the lack of a functioning audit committee and the lack of independent directors on our Board results in ineffective
oversight in the establishment and monitoring of required internal controls and procedures, which could result in a material misstatement
in our financial statements in future periods.
30
Management’s
Remediation Initiatives
In
an effort to remediate the identified material weaknesses and other deficiencies and enhance our internal controls, we have initiated,
or plan to initiate, the following series of measures:
Assuming
we are able to secure additional working capital, we will create a position to segregate duties consistent with control objectives and
will increase our personnel resources and technical accounting expertise within the accounting function when funds are available to us.
We
also plan to appoint one or more outside directors to our Board who shall be appointed to an audit committee resulting in a fully functioning
audit committee which will undertake the oversight in the establishment and monitoring of required internal controls and procedures such
as reviewing and approving estimates and assumptions made by management.
Management
believes that the appointment of one or more independent directors, who shall be appointed to a fully functioning audit committee, will
remedy the lack of a functioning audit committee and a lack of a majority of independent directors on our Board.
Changes
in Internal Control over Financial Reporting
There
were no changes in our internal control over financial reporting (as defined in Rules 13a-15(f) and 15d-15(f) under the Exchange Act)
during the quarter ended December 31, 2022 that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal
control over financial reporting.

Security Beneficial Ownership Table
Beneficial ownership is determined in accordance

shares of Common Stock which may be acquired upon exercise of stock options or warrants which are currently exercisable or which become
exercisable within sixty (60) days of the date of the applicable table below are deemed beneficially owned by the holders of such options
and warrants and are deemed outstanding for the purpose of computing the percentage of ownership of such person, but are not treated as
outstanding for the purpose of computing the percentage of ownership of any other person. Subject to community property laws, where applicable,
the persons or entities named in the tables below have sole voting and investment power with respect to all shares of Common Stock indicated
as beneficially owned by them.
The following table sets forth information with
respect to the beneficial o wnership of Common Stock as of March 1, 2023, by (i) each stockholder
known by us to be the beneficial owner of more than 5% of Common Stock (the Company’s only class of voting securities), (ii) each
of the directors and executive officers, and (iii) all of the directors and executive officers as a group. To the best knowledge of the
Company, except as otherwise indicated, each of the persons named in the table has sole voting and investment power with respect to the
shares of Common Stock beneficially owned by such person, except to the extent such power may be shared with a spouse. To the knowledge
of the Company, none of the shares listed below are held under a voting trust or similar agreement, except as noted. Other than the Exchange,
to the knowledge of the Company, there is no arrangement, including any pledge by any person of securities of the Company or any of its
parents, the operation of which may at a subsequent date result in a change in control of the Company.

Report of Independent Registered Public Accounting
Firm
To the shareholders and the Board of Directors of
Idaho Copper Corporation (formerly known as Joway Health Industries
Group Inc.)
Opinion on the Financial Statements
We have audited the accompanying balance sheet
of Idaho Copper Corporation (formerly known as Joway Health Industries Group Inc.) (the Company) as of December 31, 2022 and
2021, and the related statements of operations and comprehensive income, stockholders’ equity, and cash flows for the year ended
December 31, 2022 and 2021, and related notes (collectively referred to as the “financial statements”). In our opinion, the
financial statements present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of the Company as of December 31, 2022
and 2021, and the results of its operations and its cash flows for the year ended December 31, 2022 and 2021, in conformity
with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.
Substantial Doubt about the Company’s
Ability to Continue as a Going Concern
The accompanying financial statements have been
prepared assuming that the Company will continue as a going concern. As discussed in Note 2 to the financial statements, the Company has
suffered recurring significant losses which resulted significant accumulated deficiency in stockholders’ equity and has a net capital
deficiency. These factors raise substantial doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern. Management’s
plans in regard to this matter are also discussed in Note 2. The financial statements do not include any adjustments that might result
from the outcome of this uncertainty.
Basis for Opinion
These financial statements are the responsibility
of the Company’s management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on the Company’s financial statements based on our
audits. We are a public accounting firm registered with the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States) (PCAOB) and are
required to be independent with respect to the Company in accordance with the U.S. federal securities laws and the applicable rules and
regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission and the PCAOB.
We conducted our audits in accordance with the
standards of the PCAOB. Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial
statements are free of material misstatement, whether due to error or fraud. The Company is not required to have, nor were we engaged
to perform, an audit of its internal control over financial reporting. As part of our audits, we are required to obtain an understanding
of internal control over financial reporting, but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of the Company’s
internal control over financial reporting. Accordingly, we express no such opinion.
Our audits included performing procedures to assess
the risks of material misstatement of the financial statements, whether due to error or fraud, and performing procedures that respond
to those risks. Such procedures included examining, on a test basis, evidence regarding the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements.
Our audits also included evaluating the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating
the overall presentation of the financial statements. We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.
Critical Audit Matters
Critical audit matters are matters arising from
the current period audit of the financial statements that were communicated or required to be communicated to the audit committee and
that: (1) relate to accounts or disclosures that are material to the financial statements and (2) involved our especially challenging,
subjective, or complex judgments. We determined that there ae no critical audit matters.

We have served as the Company’s auditor since
2013.

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
Note 1 – ORGANIZATION
The financial statements include the
financial statements of Idaho Copper Corporation (formerly known as Joway Health Industries Group Inc.) (referred to herein as “Idaho
Copper”). Idaho Copper is hereinafter referred to as the “Company,” “we” and “us”.
Idaho Copper was
originally incorporated under the laws of the State of Texas on March 21, 2003. On September 21, 2010, Idaho Copper entered into a Share
Exchange Agreement (the “Share Exchange”) with the sole stockholder of Dynamic Elite International Limited. As a result of
the Share Exchange, Dynamic Elite became a wholly-owned subsidiary of Idaho Copper and the stockholders of Dynamic Elite acquired approximately
76.08 % of the issued and outstanding stock of Idaho Copper. The share exchange transaction resulted in the shareholders of Dynamic Elite
acquiring a majority voting interest in Idaho Copper. Generally accepted accounting principles in the United States of America require
that the company whose shareholders retain the majority interest in the combined business be treated as the acquirer for accounting purposes.
The reverse acquisition process utilized the capital structure of Idaho Copper and the assets and liabilities of Dynamic Elite recorded
at historical cost. On December 22, 2010, Idaho Copper changed its jurisdiction of incorporation from the State of Texas to the State
of Nevada.
Dynamic Elite International Limited (referred
to herein as “Dynamic Elite”) was incorporated under the laws of the British Virgin Islands on June 2, 2010 as a limited liability
company (a BVI company). Dynamic Elite engaged in manufacturing and distributing tourmaline products in China. Its wholly owned subsidiary,
Tianjin Junhe Management Consulting Co., Ltd. was incorporated on September 15, 2010 in Tianjin, People’s Republic of China (“PRC”).
Other than the equity interest in Junhe Consulting, Dynamic Elite does not own any assets or conduct any operations.
Tianjin Junhe Management Consulting Co., Ltd.
(referred to herein as “Junhe Consulting”) conducted its business through Tianjin Joway Shengshi Group Co., Ltd.

On November 20, 2020, Idaho Copper entered into
a Merger Agreement (the “Merger Agreement”) with Dynamic Elite International Limited, a British Virgin Islands company and
a wholly-owned subsidiary of the Company (“Dynamic Elite”), Crystal Globe Limited, a British Virgin Islands company (“Parent”)
and Joway Merger Subsidiary Limited, a British Virgin Islands company and a wholly-owned subsidiary of Parent (“Merger Sub”).
Pursuant to the terms of the Merger Agreement, Merger Sub merged with and into Dynamic Elite (the “Merger”), with Dynamic
Elite continuing as the surviving corporation as a wholly-owned subsidiary of Parent. The special committee of the Board of Directors
of the Company unanimously approved the Merger Agreement and the transactions contemplated thereby.
Pursuant to the terms of the Merger Agreement,
at the effective time of the Merger (the “Effective Time”) and as a result of the Merger, the ordinary shares of common stock
of Dynamic Elite issued and outstanding immediately prior to the Effective Time, all of which are held by the Company, were cancelled
and extinguished in consideration for $ 119,070 in cash (the “Merger Consideration”). The Company distributed the Merger Consideration
to its shareholders (other than to Parent) in an amount equal to such shareholder’s proportionate share of the Merger Consideration
based on such shareholders’ percentage of the outstanding common stock of the Company. In addition, the Company received a fairness
opinion from an investment banker opining that the Merger Consideration was fair, from a financial point of view, to the shareholders
of the Company.
As of December 31, 2020, the Effective Time of
the Merger, the 10,000 ordinary shares of common stock of Dynamic Elite issued and outstanding immediately which were held by the Company,
were cancelled for $ 119,070 in cash as Merger Consideration, or $ 0.45 per share. In January 2021, the Company had received $119,070 from
Crystal Globe and distributed proportionately to the Company’s minority shareholders, other than Crystal Globe, which represented
2,646,000 shares of our common stock. Since the remaining 17,408,000 shares of our common stock was owned by Crystal Globe, the $0.045
per share payment for the 17,408,000 shares was offset and Crystal Globe did not receive any cash payment in connection with the Merger.
On December 31, 2020, upon the Company completed
the Merger Agreement with Crystal Globe, Idaho Copper became a “shell company” (as such term is defined in Rule 12b-2 under
the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”).
On April 28, 2021, Idaho Copper entered into debt
release agreements with Mr. Jinghe Zhang and Joway Shengshi Group Co., Ltd. to release the Company from the debts of $ 295,928 and $ 463,698 ,
respectively. In connection with the transactions, all obligations owed to Mr. Zhang and Joway Shengshi Group Co., Ltd. from the Company
were cancelled and there are no further debts or liabilities owed by the Company to any affiliate or former affiliate of the Company.
Going forward, the Company intends to seek, investigate
and, if such investigation warrants, engage in a business combination with a private entity whose business presents an opportunity for
the Company’s stockholders.

On February 3, 2022,
the Company consummated the transactions contemplated by the Stock Purchase Agreement dated as of January 31, 2022 (the “Purchase
Agreement”), by and among the Company, Crystal Globe Limited, a company incorporated under the laws of British Virgin Islands (the
“Seller”), and JHP Holdings, Inc., a Nevada corporation (the “Buyer”), pursuant to which the Buyer purchased 16,644,820
shares of common stock of the Company from the Seller.
On February 2, 2022,
Mr. Ramon Lata was appointed to the board of the directors upon the resignation of Jinghe Zhang, the sole officer and director of the
Company. Mr. Lata was also appointed as the President, Treasurer and Secretary of the Company.
On January 23, 2023,
the Company entered into and consummated the transactions contemplated by a share exchange agreement (the “Share Exchange Agreement”)
by and among the Company, International CuMo Mining Corporation, an Idaho corporation (“ICUMO”), and all of the shareholders
of ICUMO (collectively, the “ICUMO Shareholders”). Pursuant to the terms of the Share Exchange Agreement, the ICUMO Shareholders
transferred all the issued and outstanding shares of common stock of ICUMO to the Company in exchange for newly issued shares of the Company’s
common stock, par value $ 0.001 per share. As a result of this share exchange (the “Exchange”), ICUMO became a wholly owned
subsidiary of the Company.
Note 2 – GOING CONCERN
The accompanying financial statements have been
prepared assuming that the Company will continue as a going concern, which contemplates the realization of assets and the discharge of
liabilities in the normal course of business for the foreseeable future.
As reflected in the accompanying financial
statements, for the years ended December 31, 2022 and 2021, we incurred net losses of $ 74,708 and $ 121,788 , respectively. In addition,
we reported cash outflow of $ 0 and $ 70,079 from our operating activities for the years ended December 31, 2022 and 2021, respectively.
As of December 31, 2022, we had an accumulated deficit of approximately $ 7.4 million and a net capital deficiency of $ 177,761 . Management
believes these factors raise substantial doubt about our ability to continue as a going concern for the next twelve months.
The continuation of our company as a going concern
through the next twelve months is dependent upon (1) the continued financial support from our stockholders or external financing. Management
believes that our existing stockholders will provide the additional cash to meet our obligations as they become due, and (2) that it will
be able to implement its business plan to expand our company’s operations and generate sufficient revenues to meet its obligations.
These financial statements do not include any adjustments to reflect the possible
future effect on the recoverability and classification of assets or the amounts and classifications of liabilities that may result from
the outcome of these uncertainties. Management believes that the actions presently being taken to obtain additional funding and implement
its strategic plan provides the opportunity for our company to continue as a going concern.
Note 3 – SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT
ACCOUNTING POLICIES
Basis of Presentation
The accompanying financial statements have been
prepared in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“US GAAP”). The Company’s
functional currency is USD.
Use of Estimates
The preparation of the financial
statements is in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles in the United States of America, which require management to
make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities
at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting periods. Management makes
these estimates using the best information available at the time the estimates are made. Actual results could differ from those estimates.
F- 8
Concentrations of Credit Risk
As a result of the consummation of the Merger,
as of December 31, 2020, the Company became a shell company, as that term is defined in Rule 12b-2 of the Exchange Act of 1934, as amended
(the “Exchange Act”). Going forward, our main business operations consist of seeking a business combination with a private
entity whose business would present an opportunity for its shareholders.
Fair Value of Financial Instruments
Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”)
Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) 820 (formerly Statement of Financial Accounting Standard (“SFAS”) No.
157 Fair Value Measurements) establishes a three-tier fair value hierarchy, which prioritizes the inputs used in measuring fair value
as the following:
● Level
1—defined as observable inputs such as quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities;
● Level
2—defined as inputs other than quoted prices in active markets that are either directly or indirectly observable; and
● Level
3—defined as unobservable inputs in which little or no market data exists, therefore requiring an entity to develop its own assumptions.
The carrying amounts reported in the balance sheets
for cash, accounts receivable, other receivable, accounts payable, other payable, and amounts due from related parties generally approximate
their fair market values based on the short-term maturity of these instruments. ASC 825-10 “Financial Instruments” allows
entities to voluntarily choose to measure certain financial assets and liabilities at fair value (fair value option). The fair value option
may be elected on an instrument-by-instrument basis and is irrevocable, unless a new election date occurs. If the fair value option is
elected for an instrument, unrealized gains and losses for that instrument should be reported in earnings at each subsequent reporting
date. The Company did not elect to apply the fair value option to any outstanding instruments.
Revenue Recognition
The Company recognizes revenue when control of
promised goods or services is transferred to the company’s customers, in an amount that reflects the consideration the Company expects
to be entitled to in exchange for those goods or services.
Prior to the Merger Agreement (as defined above),
with respect to sales of product to both franchisee and non-franchisee customers, the Company transfers control, invoices the customer
and recognizes revenue upon shipment to the customer. Sales prices are based on fixed price lists that are different depending on whether
the price list is for franchisee customers or for non-franchisee customers. Sales, value add and other taxes collected concurrent with
revenue-producing activities are excluded from revenue.
After the consummation of the Merger as of December
31, 2020, the Company did not report any revenue for the years ended December 31, 2022 or 2021.
Income Taxes
The Company accounts for income taxes in accordance
with FASB ASC 740 “Income Taxes” (formerly SFAS No. 109 Accounting for Income Taxes) , which is an asset and liability
approach that requires the recognition of deferred tax assets and liabilities for the expected future tax consequences of events that
have been recognized in the Company’s financial statements or tax returns. ASC 740 additionally requires the establishment of a
valuation allowance to reflect the likelihood of realization of deferred tax assets. Realization of deferred tax assets is dependent upon
future earnings, if any, of which the timing and amount are uncertain.
F- 9
According to ASC 740, the evaluation of a tax
position is a two-step process. The first step is to determine whether it is more likely than not that a tax position will be sustained
upon examination, including the resolution of any related appeals or litigation based on the technical merits of that position. The second
step is to measure a tax position that meets the more-likely-than-not threshold to determine the amount of benefit to be recognized in
the financial statements. A tax position is measured at the largest amount of benefit that is greater than 50% likelihood of being realized
upon ultimate settlement. Tax positions that previously failed to meet the more-likely-than-not recognition threshold should be recognized
in the first subsequent period in which the threshold is met. Previously recognized tax positions that no longer meet the more-likely-than-not
criteria should be de-recognized in the first subsequent financial reporting period in which the threshold is no longer met. ASC 740 also
provides guidance on de-recognition, classification, interest and penalties, accounting in interim periods, disclosures, and transition.
Basic and Diluted Earnings per Share
The Company reports earnings per share in accordance
with FASB ASC 260 “Earnings per share”. The Company’s basic earnings per share are computed using the weighted average
number of shares outstanding for the periods presented. Diluted earnings per share are computed based on the assumption that any dilutive
options or warrants were converted or exercised. Dilution is computed by applying the treasury stock method. Under this method, the Company’s
outstanding stock warrants are assumed to be exercised, and funds thus obtained were assumed to be used to purchase common stock at the
average market price during the period. There were no dilutive instruments outstanding during the years ended December 31, 2022 and 2021.
Recently Issued Accounting Pronouncements
No accounting standards that have been issued
or proposed by the FASB or other standards-setting bodies that require adoption until a future date are expected to have a material impact
on the Company’s financial statements upon adoption.
Note 4 –
OTHER PAYABLES
As of December
31, 2022 and 2021, the Company reported $ 177,761 and $ 103,053 as its other payables, respectively. The other payables mainly consist
of payables for professional services, including audit, legal, and financial statement filing services.

Transactions with Jinghe Zhang
During the years ended December 31, 2022 and 2021
we received financial supports of $ 0 and $ 66,235 from our former CEO and chairman, Mr. Jinghe Zhang. The loans due to him are for our
daily operating activities without interest charge and due on demand.
On April 28, 2021, the Company entered into an
agreement with Mr. Jinghe Zhang to release the Company from $ 295,928 of indebtedness owed to him. In January 2022, Mr. Jinghe Zhang released
the Company from $ 3,999 of indebtedness owed to him. As of December 31, 2022 and 2021, the total unpaid principal balance due to Mr. Jinghe
Zhang for advances was $ 0 and $ 3,999 , respectively.
Transactions with Crystal Globe
On November 20, 2020, Idaho Copper entered into
a Merger Agreement (the “Merger Agreement”) with Dynamic Elite International Limited, a British Virgin Islands company and
a wholly owned subsidiary of the Company (“Dynamic Elite”), Crystal Globe Limited, a British Virgin Islands company (“Crystal
Globe”) and Joway Merger Subsidiary Limited, a British Virgin Islands company and a wholly-owned subsidiary of Crystal Globe (“Merger
Sub”).
In accordance with the Merger Agreement, Crystal
Globe has offered a cash consideration of $0.045 per share for outstanding shares of Idaho Copper’s common stock (the “Merger
Consideration”). In January 2021, Idaho Copper had received $119,070 from Crystal Globe and distributed proportionately to the Company’s
minority shareholders which represents 2,646,000 shares of Idaho Copper’s common stock. As of December 31, 2022 and 2021, the Company
reported no balance due from Crystal Globe.
Note 6 – INCOME TAXES
The Company’s income tax returns since inception
are subject to audit by regulatory authorities. Changes in tax laws and rates could also affect recorded deferred tax assets and liabilities
in the future. Management is not aware of any such changes that would have a material effect on the Company’s results of operations,
cash flows or financial position. The calculation of our tax liabilities involves dealing with uncertainties in the application of complex
tax laws and regulations. FASB ASC Topic 740, Income Taxes provides that a tax benefit from an uncertain tax position may be recognized
when it is more likely than not that the position will be sustained upon examination, including resolutions of any related appeals or
litigation processes, based on the technical merits. ASC Topic 740 also provides guidance on measurement, derecognition, classification,
interest and penalties, accounting in interim periods, disclosure and transition.
We recognize tax liabilities in accordance with
ASC Topic 740 and we adjust these liabilities when our judgment changes as a result of the evaluation of new information not previously
available. Due to the complexity of some of these uncertainties, the ultimate resolution may result in a payment that is materially different
from our current estimate of the tax liabilities. These differences will be reflected as increases or decreases to income tax expense
in the period in which they are determined.
Note 7 – SUBSEQUENT EVENTS
On January 23, 2023, the Company entered into
a share exchange agreement (the “Share Exchange Agreement”) with International CuMo Mining Corporation (“ICUMO”),
an Idaho corporation. Pursuant to the terms of the Share Exchange Agreement, the Company’s issued 182,240,000 new shares of Idaho
Copper’s common stock to the shareholders of ICUMO in exchange for the ICUMO shareholders transferring all the issued and outstanding
shares of common stock of the ICUMO to Idaho Copper. As a result of this share exchange (the “Exchange”), ICUMO became a wholly
owned subsidiary of Idaho Copper.
