On December 31, 2025, IBN was retained by CMX Gold & Silver Corp. under a one-year Corporate Communications Agreement to support investor awareness for CMX’s Clayton Silver Project in Idaho. As an independent contractor, IBN will deliver targeted marketing and public relations solutions designed to raise CMX’s profile among institutional and retail investors in North America. The agreement includes an option to extend by mutual consent at the end of the initial term.

IBN will receive a fixed base fee of $3,000 USD per month, totaling $36,000 USD over the 12-month term. The contract allows for additional bolt-on solutions—such as enhanced digital campaigns or bespoke investor roadshows—with supplementary fees subject to negotiation. This arrangement provides IBN with a stable revenue stream while offering upside through optional services tied to campaign scope.

IBN will operate from its headquarters at 1108 Lavaca Street, Suite 110-IBN, Austin, Texas, leveraging its central U.S. location (512-354-7000) to coordinate cross-border marketing efforts. The firm’s Austin base supports rapid deployment of multimedia investor communications, integration with digital analytics platforms, and direct outreach to key brokerage and advisory networks.

The CMX engagement represents IBN’s entry into the junior mining investor relations market, a niche estimated at over $100 million USD in annual communications spend. Success in this mandate could pave the way for similar contracts with other mineral exploration companies, potentially doubling IBN’s revenue from resource-sector clients by year-end 2026.
