1. Description of Business

 

Idaho Strategic was incorporated as an Idaho corporation on July 18, 1996. The Company’s primary business is exploring for, developing, and extracting gold, and to a lesser extent, silver, and base metal mineral resources in the Greater Coeur d’Alene Mining District of North Idaho. From an operational perspective, the Company produces gold at the Golden Chest located in the Murray Gold Belt area of the world-class Coeur d’Alene Mining District, north of the prolific Silver Valley. With over 7,000 acres of patented and unpatented land, the Company has the largest private land position in the area following its consolidation of the Murray Gold Belt for the first time in over 100-years.

 

In addition to gold and gold production, the Company maintains an important strategic presence in the U.S. Critical Minerals sector, specifically focused on the more “at-risk” REE’s. Its business strategy is to grow its asset base and mineral production over time while advancing its REE projects. The Company’s Diamond Creek and Mineral Hill REE properties are included the U.S. national REE inventory as listed in USGS, IGS and DOE publications. Both projects are in central Idaho and participating in the USGS Earth MRI program, with the Diamond Creek Project also participating in the Idaho Department of Commerce’s IGEM program.
