Idaho Strategic Resources Stock Price, News & Analysis

Idaho Strategic Resources (NYSE American:IDR) has announced significant drill results from the Red Star area of its Golden Chest mine, highlighted by drill hole GC 24-276 which returned 5.13 grams per tonne (gpt) gold over 13.5 meters, including 14.72 gpt over 2.3 meters.

The company has completed new underground drill stations at the 941-level, enabling better drill orientations and increased target accessibility. Notable intercepts include GC 24-277 with 2.31 gpt gold over 20.2 meters and GC 25-306 showing 1.76 gpt gold over 46.9 meters. The Red Star area exhibits unique characteristics with broad zones of lower-grade mineralization surrounding high-grade intercepts, potentially suitable for high-productivity mining methods like longhole stoping.

Idaho Strategic Resources (NYSE American:IDR) has announced a significant carbonatite discovery at its Lucky Horseshoe prospect within the Lemhi Pass project, with samples showing up to 6.14% total rare earth oxides (TREO). The discovery features impressive ratios of 65% magnet rare earth oxides and 11% SEG oxides.

This marks the first-ever identification of carbonatite at Lemhi Pass, challenging previous geological assumptions. The discovery is particularly significant as carbonatites are the primary source of REEs at the world's three major REE operations: Mountain Pass (US), Mount Weld (Australia), and Bayan Obo (China).

The company is currently conducting soil geochemistry and radiometric surveys over its Lemhi Pass holdings and has submitted permits for initial drill testing this fall. IDR controls properties across the 70-mile Idaho REE-Th Belt, including Mineral Hill, Diamond Creek, and Lemhi Pass.

Idaho Strategic Resources (NYSE American:IDR) reported record Q2 2025 financial results, with revenue increasing 54.71% to $9.47 million. The company achieved gold production of 3,010 ounces from processing 10,240 ore tonnes. Net income reached $2.77 million with EPS of $0.20, up 17.65% year-over-year.

Operational highlights include completion of 5,819 meters of drilling across multiple projects and commissioning of a new tailings filtration circuit. The company's rare earth elements business advanced with a new 1,500-acre lease agreement and strategic partnership with Clean Core Thorium Energy. IDR was also added to the Russell 3000 index.

Idaho Strategic Resources (NYSE American:IDR) has acquired the Toboggan project from Hecla Silver Valley, Inc. for $300,000 in cash plus a 1% net smelter royalty. The acquisition unites the two major components of the Murray Gold Belt District in northern Idaho for the first time.

The Toboggan project, located approximately 3 miles north of IDR's Golden Chest Mine, includes 143.5 acres of patented mining claims at the Little Baldy prospect and numerous unpatented claims containing prospects such as Gold Butte, Mineral Ridge, Golden Reward, Progress, Lost Eagle, and Independence. Previous exploration by companies like Newmont identified significant untested soil anomalies, including a 2,000x650-meter anomaly at Mineral Ridge and a 2,000x900-meter anomaly at Golden Reward.

Idaho Strategic Resources (NYSE American:IDR) has discovered high-grade rare earth elements at its Mineral Hill project, with samples yielding over 17.6% total rare earth oxides (TREO) at the Cardinal prospect. The company completed a drone-based magnetics survey revealing a 3.5 km northwest-trending zone connecting three carbonatite prospects: Roberts, Cardinal, and Lower Lee Buck.

The Cardinal prospect, discovered in 1953, features three subparallel carbonatite seams with abundant monazite, traceable for over 1,000 feet with widths of 1-3 meters. IDR recently secured a long-term lease for Cardinal and approximately 1,300 acres of additional holdings within the Mineral Hill and Lemhi Pass projects. The company plans to utilize existing infrastructure for drilling operations to test carbonatite depth.

Idaho Strategic Resources (NYSE American:IDR) has provided a comprehensive update on its exploration and development activities across its precious metals and critical minerals projects. The company's Golden Chest Mine continues production while expanding exploration with two active drill rigs and development of paste backfill system. IDR has initiated surface drilling in the Murray Gold Belt, completed a first-phase drill program at Eastern Star, and is advancing critical minerals exploration at Mineral Hill, Lemhi Pass, and Diamond Creek.

The company has also expanded its portfolio with the Oxford copper project, where a 3D IP geophysics survey is planned for summer 2025. IDR's strategy leverages its gold production to fund exploration across its diverse asset base, positioning itself as the largest rare earth elements landholder in the United States while maintaining gold production growth.

Idaho Strategic Resources (NYSE American: IDR) has been selected for inclusion in the Russell 3000® Index, effective June 27, 2025, as part of the annual reconstitution. This milestone places IDR among the 3,000 largest U.S. companies by market cap and ensures automatic inclusion in either the Russell 1000® or Russell 2000® Index. As the only publicly traded company combining growing gold production with rare earth elements exploration potential, IDR's inclusion is expected to increase its visibility among institutional investors. The Russell indexes, which benchmark approximately $10.6 trillion in assets, are widely used by investment managers for index funds and active investment strategies.

Idaho Strategic Resources (NYSE:IDR) reported high-grade gold drill results from three target areas at its Golden Chest Mine in Idaho. The drilling campaign revealed significant gold intercepts at the Paymaster Veins (up to 14.98 g/t Au), Bush and Jumbo Veins (up to 31.40 g/t Au), and Claggett Vein (up to 29.30 g/t Au). The Paymaster Veins are advancing to pre-development stage, while the Bush and Jumbo Veins show promise for future resources near existing infrastructure. The company is expediting drilling operations and developing a second underground drill station. These results support IDR's production-backed exploration strategy and plans for the Murray Mill development. The company has expanded its geological team to 7 members and is actively pursuing both gold and rare earth elements exploration across its portfolio.

Idaho Strategic Resources (NYSE:IDR) has signed an MOU with Clean Core Thorium Energy (CCTE) to evaluate thorium mining and processing for CCTE's ANEEL fuel. The ANEEL fuel, a patented thorium-enriched uranium design, can be used in existing pressurized heavy water reactors with benefits including increased burn-up, reduced waste, and enhanced safety. IDR controls the Lemhi Pass District, considered the largest thorium resource in the US with an estimated 64,000 tons of thorium oxide reserves and 121,000 tons of probable resources. The partnership aims to establish a "Made in America" thorium-based nuclear fuel supply chain, leveraging IDR's thorium resources and CCTE's fuel technology. CCTE has notable partnerships with US DOE, Idaho National Lab, Canadian Nuclear Laboratories, and India's National Thermal Power Corporation.
