IDEX Metals Closes Brokered Private Placement Offering of Special Warrants
for $8 Million
NOT FOR DISTRIBUTION TO U.S. NEWSWIRE SERVICES OR FOR RELEASE, PUBLICATION, DISTRIBUTION OR
DISSEMINATION DIRECTLY, OR INDIRECTLY, IN WHOLE OR IN PART, IN OR INTO THE UNITED STATES
Vancouver, B.C. – May 5, 2026 – IDEX Metals Corp. (" IDEX" or the " Company") (TSXV: IDEX;
OTCQB: IDXMF) is pleased to announce that, further to its news release dated April 22, 2026, it has
closed its previously announced brokered private placement, with Clarus Securities Inc. as lead
agent and bookrunner on behalf of a syndicate of agents including Interward Asset Management Ltd.
(collectively, the “Agents”), of 20,125,000 special warrants of the Company (“Special Warrants”) at
a price of $0.40 per Special Warrant (the “ Offering Price ”) for aggregate gross proceeds of
$8,050,000 (the “Offering”). The Offering included the full exercise of the Agents’ option granted by
the Company to the Agents to offer and sell an additional 15% of the number of Special Warrants
issued pursuant to the Offering.
Each Special Warrant is exercisable, for no additional consideration at the option of the holder, into
one unit of the Company (each, a " Unit"), with each Unit being comprised of one common share in
the capital of the Company (a “ Common Share ”) and one-half of one Common Share purchase
warrant (each whole warrant, a “ Warrant”). Each Warrant will entitle the holder thereof to acquire
one Common Share (a “Warrant Share”) at an exercise price of $0.60 per Warrant Share for a period
of 24 months from the date of issuance.
The Offering was conducted pursuant to an agency agreement dated May 5, 2026, entered into
among the Company and the Agents (the “Agency Agreement”). The net proceeds raised under the
Offering will be used for exploration and development of the Company’s Freeze Project, including
drilling, geophysics, and for general working capital purposes.
“This oversubscribed financing is a huge moment for IDEX and represents a strong endorsement of
the scale and quality of the opportunity we are advancing at Freeze,” said Clayton Fisher, CEO and
Director of IDEX Metals. “We are grateful for the significant participation of our existing shareholders
and for the strong support of Clarus Securities in helping strengthen the Company’s strategic and
institutional shareholder base. With over $8 million raised, the Company is now fully funded to launch
a 10,000-meter drill program and get back into the field to test what we believe is one of the most
compelling emerging copper-gold porphyry prospects in the western United States. The 2026 season
is about execution — drilling with conviction, advancing high-priority targets, and creating meaningful
value for our shareholders.”
The Company will use its commercially reasonable best efforts to prepare and file with the securities
regulatory authorities in each of the provinces in which the Special Warrants were sold a (i) final short
form prospectus (a “Final Prospectus”) for which it obtains a receipt, or (ii) prospectus supplement
to a final short form base shelf prospectus (a “ Qualifying Supplement”), in either case qualifying
the distribution of the Common Shares and Warrants to be issued upon exercise of the Special
Warrants. In the event that the Company has not received a receipt for the Final Prospectus or filed
a Qualifying Supplement within nine weeks following the Closing Date, each unexercised Special
Warrant will thereafter entitle the holder thereof to receive upon the exercise thereof, at no additional
consideration, one-and-one-twentieth (1.05) of a Unit (instead of one Unit).

All unexercised Special Warrants will automatically be exercised on the day that is the earlier of (a)
the third business day after a receipt is issued for the Final Prospectus or the Qualifying Supplement
is filed, and (b) the date which is four months and a day following the Closing Date.
For their services in connection with the Offering and pursuant to the Agency Agreement, the Agents
received an aggregate cash fee of $449,220. In addition, the Company issued to the Agents
1,123,050 non-transferable broker warrants, each of which is exercisable by the holder thereof to
purchase one Common Share at an exercise price equal to the Offering Price for a period of 24
months from the date of issuance.
The Special Warrants and any underlying securities are subject to a statutory hold period of four
months plus one day under applicable Canadian securities legislation. The Offering remains subject
to the final approval of the TSX Venture Exchange (the “TSXV”).
Two insiders of the Company have subscribed for an aggregate of 200,000 Special Warrants
($80,000) in the Offering. The participation by the two insiders constitutes a “related party transaction”
as defined under Multilateral Instrument 61-101 Protection of Minority Security Holders in Special
Transactions (“MI 61-101 ”). Such participation is exempt from the formal valuation and minority
shareholder approval requirements of MI 61-101 as neither the fair market value of the Special
Warrants acquired by each insider, nor the consideration for the Special Warrants paid by each
insider, exceed 25% of the Company’s market capitalization.

U.S. Securities Act or any U.S. state securities laws, and may not be offered or sold within the United
States or to, or for the account or benefit of, U.S. persons absent U.S. registration or an applicable
exemption from the U.S. registration requirements. This news release does not constitute an offer
