to purchase agreement dated August 24, 2022 with Bronco Creek Exploration Inc. (the “Vendor”) to
acquire a 100% interest in the Mesa Wells Project (“Mesa Well” or the “Property”) located in Arizona,

additional 50,000 common shares of Intrepid to the Vendor.
“Mesa Well remains a very intriguing project for the Company and we continue to evaluate our next
steps to create shareholder value from this project,” said Ken Brophy, CEO of Intrepid. “While we have
recently allocated more of our resources to the success from the initial drill program at Corral Copper
(see Intrepid News Release dated July 9, 2024), we remain committed to additional work to further refine
the approved drill program at Mesa Well.”
Mesa Well is located approximately 100 kilometres northeast of the City of Tucson, Arizona, USA, and
is road accessible year-round. The Property is situated within the heart of the Laramide Copper Porphyry
Belt and is drill -ready and permitted . The Property covers approximately 6,550 acres and is located
