Ironman International Ltd. (TSXV: IMI; OTCQB: IMITF) announced that its wholly owned operating subsidiary, Ironman Directional Drilling Ltd., has entered into a master construction agreement dated May 12, 2026, with an arm's length third-party U.S.-based communications infrastructure partner. The agreement, valued at an aggregate of USD $12,108,750, establishes a framework for providing construction and related services for fiber optic network infrastructure projects in the United States.
Under the agreement, Ironman Directional Drilling will provide services under separate statements of work, with compensation payable in lump sums according to each statement. The work is anticipated to commence in the next couple of weeks and is expected to be completed in 2026. The scope aligns with Ironman's core capabilities, including fiber optic infrastructure construction, conduit installation, horizontal directional drilling, plowing, splicing, testing, commissioning, and related civil works. Notably, the project will support remote Indigenous communities in east-central Alaska, consistent with the company's values.
Management believes this agreement represents a meaningful commercial milestone and validates Ironman's operating platform in telecommunications infrastructure, trenchless construction, and technically demanding field execution. Revenue associated with the agreement will depend on executed work authorizations, project performance, customer acceptance, timing, invoicing, payment, and other customary conditions.
"This signed agreement is an important step forward for Ironman as we continue to build our platform around critical infrastructure," said Mike Irmen, CEO of Ironman. "This project represents more than just laying cable—it's about connecting families, businesses, schools, and essential services to the opportunities broadband provides. The work under this agreement aligns well with our core values of community partnership and respect; it also demonstrates the value of having experienced crews, specialized equipment, and the operational capability to support complex fiber infrastructure projects in demanding field conditions."
The agreement is consistent with Ironman's strategy of pursuing larger infrastructure opportunities that leverage its established operating base, equipment fleet, technical expertise, and project execution capabilities. Work is expected to be carried out pursuant to applicable project requirements, permits, engineering documentation, site conditions, customer approvals, and other customary construction considerations. The agreement includes provisions relating to project scope, change orders, invoicing, payment, completion criteria, insurance, and other standard terms.
