+Added: The CuMo Project, Geology and Mineralization
+Added: The CuMo Project currently consists of one hundred
+Added: and twenty-six (126) federal unpatented lode mining claims, and six (6) patented mining claims.
+Added: In total, the project comprises approximately
+Added: The unpatented lode mining claims and patented claims are situated in an unorganized mining district, in Boise County, Idaho,
+Added: spanning Sections in Township 7N and 8N, Range 5E and 6E, Boise Meridian.
+Added: The regional tectonic setting consists of a basement
+Added: of amalgamated Archean and Paleoproterozoic crystalline terrains that were joined during the Paleoproterozoic Trans-Montana orogeny, and
+Added: are overlain discontinuously by sedimentary rocks of Mesoproterozoic, Neoproterozoic, and Paleozoic ages;
+Added: and volcanic and sedimentary
+Added: rocks of Eocene and Miocene ages.
+Added: Voluminous tonalite to granite bodies of the Idaho batholith and later granitic plutons of Eocene age
+Added: intrude the older rocks.
+Added: Major deformational episodes superimposed on the Precambrian basement include the Cretaceous Sevier orogeny,
+Added: which mainly involved east-vergent “thin-skinned” thrusting;
+Added: Eocene extensional deformation, which resulted in development
+Added: of metamorphic core complexes;
+Added: and basin and range type faulting.
+Added: The CuMo deposit is situated within the Idaho batholith
+Added: and is part of a regional scale belt of porphyry and related deposits identified as the Idaho-Montana Porphyry Belt.
+Added: Igneous complexes
+Added: in this belt are interpreted to be related to an Eocene, intra-arc rift, and are characterized by alkalic rocks in the northeast, mixed
+Added: alkalic and calc-alkalic rocks in the middle, and calc-alkaline rocks in the southwest.
+Added: The CuMo deposit is located at the southwestern
+Added: end of this belt and is associated with a calc-alkalic monzogranite, reported as 45-52Ma age that intrudes Cretaceous equigranular intrusive
+Added: rocks of the Atlanta Lobe of the Idaho Batholith.
+Added: The CuMo area is underlain by biotite granodiorite, the most common rock type of the
+Added: Atlanta lobe of the Idaho batholith.
+Added: All of the felsic intrusive phases contain molybdenite (MoS2) mineralization.
+Added: The CuMo deposit is located in an historic gold mining
+Added: Gold was discovered in the Boise Basin in 1862 and lode mining began within a year.
+Added: As of 1940, total gold production amounted to
+Added: 2.8 million ounces of which 74% was from placer operations.
+Added: More gold has been produced from the Boise Basin than any other mining locality
+Added: Although they are primarily gold deposits, considerable silver and minor copper, lead and zinc were produced as byproducts from
+Added: The area features two separate mineralizing events
+Added: that are referred to as early Tertiary and early Miocene.
+Added: The first event consists of gold-quartz veins containing minor sulfide minerals
+Added: that occur within the Idaho batholith and are associated with weak wall rock alteration.
+Added: Associated sulfide minerals include pyrite, arsenopyrite,
+Added: sphalerite, tetrahedrite, chalcopyrite, galena, and stibnite.
+Added: The second mineralizing event occurs within porphyry dikes and stocks as
+Added: well as in the batholith, and is characterized by relatively abundant sulfide mineralization, subordinate quartz, and widespread wall
+Added: rock alteration.
+Added: Base metal mineralization consists of pyrite, sphalerite, galena, tetrahedrite, chalcopyrite, minor quartz, and siderite
+Added: with local occurrences of pyrrhotite and enargite.
+Added: Molybdenum mineralization was discovered at CuMo in
+Added: Mineralization on the property occurs in veins and veinlets developed within various intrusive bodies.
+Added: Molybdenite (MoS2) occurs
+Added: within quartz veins, veinlets, and vein stockworks.
+Added: Individual veinlets vary in size from tiny fractures to veinlets five centimeters
+Added: in width, with an overall thickness averaging 0.3- 0.4 cm.
+Added: Pyrite and/or chalcopyrite are commonly associated with molybdenite although
+Added: molybdenite can occur alone without other metallic mineralization.
+Added: The CuMo deposit has been classified as a porphyry
+Added: copper molybdenum deposit.
+Added: But more specifically, it is a stockwork-type deposit where the principal mineralization, as described immediately
+Added: above, is found in thin veins and veinlets, whereas a typical porphyry deposit features disseminated mineralized areas throughout the
+Added: The CuMo deposit is typical of large, dispersed, lower
+Added: grade copper-molybdenum deposits that are associated with hybrid magmas typified by fluorine-poor, differentiated monzogranite igneous
+Added: Due to their large size, the total contained economic molybdenum in these types of deposits can be equivalent to or exceed
+Added: that of high-grade molybdenum deposits.
+Added: Internal Controls and Data Verification
+Added: Dykes (the “Qualified Person”) reviewed the procedures used by ICUMO and produced a description and an analysis of the results as contained in Section 8 of the TRS.
+Added: These are standard data verifications with no limitations.
+Added: All assay results used in the verification process
+Added: by the Qualified Person were obtained from fully certified analytical laboratories with signed assay certificates.
+Added: The Qualified Person has reviewed the data collection
+Added: and verification procedures followed by ICUMO and by third parties on behalf of ICUMO, and believes these procedures are consistent with
+Added: industry best practices and acceptable for use in geological and resource modelling.
+Added: These procedures have also been verified by several
+Added: independent qualified people over the years.
+Added: For more information about quality control/quality
+Added: assurance and data verification, see Section 8 and Section 9 of the TRS.
+Added: The mineral resources estimated may ultimately be
+Added: affected by a broad range of environmental, permitting, socio-economic (as discussed in Section 17 of the TRS), legal, title (as discussed
+Added: in Section 3 of the TRS), marketing and political factors (as discussed in Section 22 of the TRS).
+Added: At this time the authors are unaware
+Added: of any of these factors that could materially affect the mineral resource estimate.
+Added: Of course, going forward, relevant factors that could
+Added: influence the resource estimate include changes to the geological, geotechnical or geometallurgical models, infill drilling to convert
+Added: mineral resources to a higher classification, drilling to test for extensions to known resources, collection of additional bulk density
+Added: data and significant changes to commodity prices.
+Added: It should be noted that all these factors pose potential risk and opportunities to the
+Added: current mineral resource.
+Added: Current Planned Working Programs
+Added: Ore Sorting and Updated Preliminary Economic Assessment
+Added: ICUMO presently is investigating the potential to
+Added: utilize additional ore sorting scanning technologies to optimize the separation of waste from ore post-mining and increase the head grade
+Added: of ICUMO ore being fed to a concentrator.
+Added: The thin-veined, stockwork nature of the CuMo deposit lends itself nicely to ore sorting, as
+Added: noted above, since these darker colored veins largely carry the metals of interest and are much different from waste in appearance.
+Added: visual scanning exercise of all of the core recovered from the drilling activities described herein shows that on average, 84% of the
+Added: waste mined can be theoretically separated through application of ore sorting, versus the 28% waste removal that SRK Consulting (Canada)
+Added: (“SRK”) conservatively used in its 2020 Preliminary Economic Assessment (“PEA”).
+Added: There are over 90 active
+Added: mines in the world today which utilize some form of ore sorting.
+Added: ICUMO’s sorting examination is designed to not
+Added: just rely on a single sorting pass, but to possibly integrate multiple sorting technologies, such as combining surface XRF scanning at
+Added: the face with downstream penetrative prompt gamma neutron activation analysis (PGNAA) or pulsed fast thermal neutron activation (PFTNA)
+Added: scanners installed on the material conveyors, and potentially particle scanners to finish.
+Added: The potential combination of different ore
+Added: sorting technologies and equipment is intended to enable the Company to optimize the separation of ore from waste, substantially increasing
+Added: the head grade of mill feed, and thereby reducing the size of the concentrator which then will only be concerned with the processing of
+Added: Consequently, this will in theory allow the Company to design and build a smaller concentrator, significantly reducing capital and
+Added: operating costs.
+Added: As an example, the Company believes that if ore sorting can remove 75% of waste pre-mill feed, this result will reduce
+Added: the size of the mill to around 30,000 tons per day to produce the same amount of metal as the SRK 2020 PEA mill design of 150,000 tons
+Added: per day, and thereby save over $1.5 billion in projected capital expenditures.
+Added: The Company has just commenced initial discussions with
+Added: consultants, and mining equipment providers who design and fabricate penetrative scanning systems for testing of CuMo material.
+Added: To date, ICUMO has performed an internal ore
+Added: sorting investigation.
+Added: The next phase of of ore sorting will require the Company to contract with an independent third-party
+Added: engineering firm to publish an updated PEA, utilizing ore sorting results to revise the technical and economic sections of the
+Added: The expected budget for this work is roughly $750,000 and expected completion in the fourth quarter of 2024 assuming the
+Added: Company is able to raise sufficient additional capital to commission the PEA.
+Added: There can be no assurance the Company will be able to raise such capital nor complete the PEA timely based on the
+Added: Company’s current operational state and available capital.
+Added: Refer to the Company’s Item 1A “Risk Factors” additional
+Added: information concerning the Company’s current level of available capital.
+Added: Additional Exploration and Metallurgical Studies;
+Added: Pre-Feasibility
+Added: Following completion of the updated PEA and pending
+Added: issuance of a new FONSI by the USFS relating to the “2018 Supplemental Redline Environmental Assessment CuMo Exploration Project”
+Added: issued by the USFS (the “2018 SREA”), the Company intends to resume its plans for additional exploration including infill,
+Added: expansion, and geotechnical pit wall drilling.
+Added: The infill work is intended to enable the Company to reclassify resources currently labeled
+Added: as Inferred, to the level of Indicated, or Measured and Indicated.
+Added: The expansion drilling should allow the Company to add more resources
+Added: to at least the Inferred category.
+Added: The Company has tentatively budgeted $8 million for this drilling work.
+Added: The Company also plans to initiate additional metallurgical
+Added: studies to (1) determine the optimal concentrator design for both copper-silver, and molybdenum concentrate circuits, and (2) investigate
+Added: the potential to recover copper and molybdenum via heap leaching of lower grade ore that is stockpiled and not immediately processed at
+Added: the concentrator.
+Added: The Company has identified a number of outside consultants that can be engaged for both of these studies.
+Added: the Company expects that these studies will cost approximately $1,000,000 and will take on the order of four (4) months to complete.
+Added: These undertakings are part of the Company’s
+Added: plan to develop an independent, third-party Pre-Feasibility Study (PFS) for the CuMo Project.
+Added: In addition to the exploration and metallurgical
+Added: work, explained above, the PFS will include expenditures for infrastructure and road improvements, environmental and permitting work,
+Added: preliminary engineering, community, and public/governmental relations work, and potentially costs for expansion of the current land position.
+Added: All-in, the Company has budgeted a range of $25 to $30 million to reach the PFS stage and estimates that the PFS can be completed within
+Added: two years of the release of the updated PEA.
+Added: Competitive Position in the Industry
+Added: The mineral exploration, development, and production
+Added: industry are largely un-integrated.
+Added: The Company competes with other exploration companies looking to acquire and obtain financing for
+Added: the exploration and development of mineral resource properties.
+Added: While the Company competes with other exploration companies to locate
+Added: and acquire mineral resource properties, it may also compete with them for the removal or sales of mineral products from its properties
+Added: if it should eventually discover their presence in quantities sufficient to make production economically feasible.
+Added: Readily available markets
+Added: for the sale of mineral products only sometimes exist for all mineral commodities;
+Added: however, the principal CuMo Project commodities of
+Added: copper, silver and molybdenum are traded on international exchanges and therefore, at a minimum a terminal market exists for which these
+Added: commodities can be delivered and sold.
+Added: ICUMO’s competition includes large, established
+Added: mining companies with substantial capabilities and more significant financial and technical resources.
+Added: As a result of this competition,
+Added: it may have to compete for financing and may need help to acquire the funding on terms it considers acceptable.
+Added: ICUMO may also have to
+Added: compete with other mining companies to recruit and retain qualified managerial and technical employees.
+Added: If ICUMO cannot compete successfully
+Added: for financing or qualified employees, its exploration programs may be slowed down or suspended, which may cause it to cease operations
+Added: as a company.
+Added: As of the date of this Report, other than certain
+Added: executives, ICUMO has no employees.
+Added: ICUMO does not have or maintain any employee benefit plans or similar plans under any applicable laws.
+Added: February 7, 2023, the Board and the holder of 121,343,700 shares of Common Stock, representing approximately 59.98% of the Company’s
+Added: voting equity, approved by written consent, in accordance with the applicable provisions of Nevada law, the execution and filing of a
+Added: Certificate of Amendment to the Articles of Incorporation of the Company (the “Amendment”) with the Nevada Secretary of State,
+Added: to effect the change of the Company’s name from “Joway Health Industries Group Inc.” to “Idaho Copper Corporation”.
+Added: On March 9, 2023, the Company filed the Amendment with the Nevada Secretary of State, with immediate effect.
