CMX Gold & Silver Corp. has expanded its marketing and investor awareness program through a one-year corporate communications agreement with IBN, executed on December 31, 2025. Under the agreement, IBN will act as an independent contractor and provide investor awareness and communications services for a base fee of $3,000 per month, or $36,000 for the one-year term, with potential for additional fees related to supplemental services. The expanded outreach is intended to increase visibility as the company advances exploration planning at its flagship asset, the 100%-owned Clayton Silver Project in Idaho's Bayhorse Mining District.
The Clayton Silver Property comprises approximately 684 acres in Custer County in south-central Idaho, including the former Clayton silver-lead-zinc mine. The mine was developed on eight levels to a depth of 1,100 feet below surface and contains approximately 19,690 feet of underground development. Two major ore bodies were partially mined: the South Ore Body and the North Ore Body. The property's significant potential is demonstrated in hole 1501-A, drilled in the mid-1960s, which penetrated the mineralized zone at 1,425 feet and intercepted 22 feet of 4.07 oz Ag/t, 5.75% lead and 5.37% zinc, though true width is unknown.
Historical production from the Clayton Mine included 7,031,110 oz silver, 86,771,527 lbs lead, 28,172,211 lbs zinc, 1,664,177 lbs copper, and minor amounts of gold from an estimated 2,145,652 tonnes of ore mined between 1934 and 1985, according to Bob Hillman's M.S. Thesis from Eastern Washington University dated June 26, 1986. The company is planning work programs in 2025 and extending over the next several years to assess the resource potential within structures related to previously mined sections and to expand the search for other mineralized zones in adjacent structures. This will entail detailed geophysical work and multiple drill programs, as CMX has concluded that very little geophysics was done on the property historically.
The expanded investor awareness program comes at a critical time for CMX as it seeks to attract investment for its exploration activities. For investors seeking the latest news and updates relating to CMX, information is available in the company's newsroom at https://ibn.fm/CXXMF. The communications services are being provided through MiningNewsWire, a specialized communications platform with a focus on developments and opportunities in the Global Mining and Resources sectors. MiningNewsWire is one of 75+ brands within the Dynamic Brand Portfolio at IBN that delivers access to wire solutions, article and editorial syndication to 5,000+ outlets, enhanced press release services, social media distribution, and tailored corporate communications solutions.
This strategic move to enhance investor communications reflects the growing importance of transparent and effective corporate messaging in the mining sector, particularly for companies advancing exploration projects in mining-friendly jurisdictions like Idaho. The Clayton Silver Project represents a significant opportunity in a region with established mining history, and increased visibility through professional communications services could help CMX secure the necessary capital and attention to advance its exploration programs effectively over the coming years.
