On December 31, 2025, IBN entered into a one-year Corporate Communications Agreement with CMX Gold & Silver Corp. under which IBN will serve as an independent contractor to expand CMX’s investor‐awareness program for the Clayton Silver Project in Idaho. The contract includes a mutual extension clause allowing both parties to agree to additional terms at the end of the initial 12-month period, ensuring continuity of marketing services through calendar 2026 and beyond if renewed.

IBN’s base fee under the agreement is set at US$3,000 per month, resulting in a guaranteed contract value of US$36,000 over the initial term. CMX may authorize supplementary “bolt-on” solutions—such as targeted digital campaigns, bespoke investor presentations or enhanced media relations outreach—at adjusted fee rates. These variable components will be negotiated on a case-by-case basis, allowing CMX to tailor its spending to evolving investor communication needs without altering the core retainer.

As an independent marketing and communications specialist, the firm deploys a mix of public relations, multimedia content creation and targeted distribution channels to elevate junior mining and resource clients.
