Idaho Strategic Resources Stock Price, News & Analysis

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.

Idaho Strategic Resources (NYSE:IDR) reported record quarterly revenue of $7.28 million in Q1 2025, a 23.39% increase year-over-year. The company produced 2,900 ounces of gold at an average grade of 8.67 gpt, processing 11,337 ore tonnes. Despite higher revenue, net income decreased 25.89% to $1.61 million ($0.12 EPS) due to increased exploration investments and expenses.

The company completed 4,230 meters of drilling at Golden Chest Mine, representing a five-fold increase in drilling investment. All-in sustaining costs rose 21.98% to $1,430.90 per ounce, while the average realized gold price increased 44.73% to $2,848.74. The company is implementing its production-backed exploration business plan, including construction of a new tailings filtration circuit and advancement of the Paste Backfill System.

Idaho Strategic Resources (IDR) reported exceptional financial results for 2024, with annual revenue increasing 88.66% and net income surging 663.27%. The company ended the year with $16,091,024 in cash and US Treasury Notes investments, marking nine consecutive quarters of GAAP profitability.

Notable drilling results included a significant intercept of 50.9 gpt gold over 4.5 meters in the newly discovered Red Star zone.

The company maintained its position as the largest rare earth elements landholder in the United States, engaging in various industry conferences and discussions to advance understanding of Idaho's rare earth mineralogy.

Idaho Strategic Resources (IDR) has announced its most extensive rare earth elements (REE) exploration plans for 2025, focusing on three projects within Idaho's 70-mile REE-Th Belt: Lemhi Pass, Mineral Hill, and Diamond Creek. The announcement aligns with President Trump's recent Executive Order to boost domestic mineral production.

At Lemhi Pass, which previously yielded up to 5% total rare earth oxides with magnet REEs exceeding 70%, IDR plans radiometric surveys and soil sampling. Mineral Hill will undergo drone-assisted radiometric, magnetic, and lidar mapping, building on previous findings of 20-34% TREO at the Upper Roberts occurrence. At Diamond Creek, the company plans follow-up trenching with drilling options, expanding on their 2022 program and historic resources identified by USGS in 1979.

The company positions itself as the largest rare earth elements landholder in the United States, combining gold production with REE exploration potential. The exploration strategy aims to capitalize on the new administration's focus on developing domestic resources and reshoring American jobs.
