  • MIL-OSI: Descope Announces New Capabilities to Help Ecommerce Companies Deliver Omnichannel User Experiences

    Source: GlobeNewswire (MIL-OSI)

    LOS ALTOS, Calif., March 25, 2025 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) — Descope, the drag & drop customer identity and access management (CIAM) platform, today announced a host of capabilities to help ecommerce and online retail companies provide secure and omnichannel authentication experiences to their end customers across the buying funnel. Notable additions include securely tracking anonymous users with temporary tokens, enabling unified native login flows across web and mobile, and integrations with WooCommerce, Salesforce Commerce Cloud, and Shopify Plus.

    Ecommerce businesses of all sizes face customer identity challenges at every stage of the buyer funnel. With around 86% of site visitors being anonymous, the first challenge is to reliably convert these users into signups without adding undue friction. The next challenge is to create a balanced onboarding and account creation flow that simplifies signups for real users while keeping fraudulent signups at bay. Finally, large ecommerce organizations have an identity silo problem. Struggles to reconcile login processes across web and mobile or to unify the experience across native sites and third-party hosted stores like Shopify or WooCommerce prevents online retail organizations from providing a singular user journey.

    The Descope no / low code CIAM platform helps organizations easily create and customize their entire authentication and user journey using visual workflows. Hundreds of customers including GoFundMe, Databricks, Navan, and You.com use Descope to reduce user friction during onboarding, enhance protection against account takeover attacks, and unify identities across customer-facing apps. The capabilities highlighted in this announcement further help ecommerce companies serve users across devices and sub-brands while adding the right security controls at the right time.

    “Using Descope has helped us adapt quicker to changing customer needs without spending engineering resources,” said Nitin Shingate, CTO of GoodRx. “Whether it’s easily adopting passwordless methods like One Tap, adding risk-based MFA, or unifying identity flows across web and mobile apps, Descope provides workflow-based building blocks to help us achieve these goals much faster than before.”

    “The solution for many user experience, security, and visibility challenges for ecommerce converge on customer identity,” said Rishi Bhargava, co-founder of Descope. “We are excited for ecommerce companies to leverage our new capabilities to provide seamless user identity experiences across their digital properties. We’re especially proud to partner with leading identity intelligence tools like Telesign and reCAPTCHA Enterprise to secure customers against account takeover and fraud without adding friction.”

    Anonymous user tracking

    Companies can now track anonymous user activity by assigning temporary tokens to securely capture user traits (e.g. device type, traffic source, attribution) without needing authentication. When the users eventually create an account, all the captured anonymous traits will be folded into the same user record, helping companies improve the effectiveness of acquisition initiatives.

    Anonymous user tracking also helps companies offer frictionless guest checkout processes while still making user activity tracking possible.

    Native mobile flows

    Ecommerce companies can now use the same Descope user journey across web and mobile applications, offering native-looking login experiences on mobile without redirects and without any extra engineering work. Native mobile flows help retail organizations easily adopt passwordless authentication methods like passkeys and social login to boost mobile-driven conversions and purchases. Check out tutorials for Swift and Kotlin to learn more.

    Ecommerce platform integrations

    Countless ecommerce companies rely on hosted platforms like Shopify, WooCommerce, and Salesforce Commerce Cloud to power their storefronts, but the authentication options available therein are either laborious to implement, basic, or expensive. Moreover, ecommerce companies with multiple brand sites–some of them home-grown, some of them on hosted platforms–struggle with identity silos and fragmented account creation across sites.

    Organizations can now power these hosted sites with signup, login, MFA, and SSO with Descope:

    • Shopify: Shopify Plus customers can add Descope as an identity provider and use it as the authentication layer for secure, user-friendly login.
    • WooCommerce: Organizations can use the existing Descope WordPress plugin to enhance their WooCommerce authentication, including anonymous user tracking, Google One Tap, and step-up authentication for sensitive user actions.
    • Salesforce Commerce Cloud: Salesforce CC customers can use Descope as an OpenID Connect provider to add authentication and MFA, as well as unify identity management across Salesforce CC and other storefronts.

  • MIL-OSI: Justin Sun: TRON Meme Season 2.0 Embodies the Community-Driven Spirit of Web3

    Source: GlobeNewswire (MIL-OSI)

    SINGAPORE, March 25, 2025 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) — HTX, a leading global crypto exchange, has once again drawn market-wide attention following the launch of TRON Meme Season 2.0, sparked by a viral tweet from Justin Sun, Founder of TRON and Global Advisor to HTX. The announcement has fueled renewed interest in TRON-based meme tokens, reaffirming TRON’s position as a hub for innovation and high-performance infrastructure.

    To further engage the community, HTX and SunPump co-hosted an X Spaces session titled “TRON Ecosystem Evolution: Meme Coins Surge! Is SunPump Primed for a Spectacular Ascent?”. The session featured Justin Sun’s broader vision for the TRON meme economy and included participation from notable ecosystem players such as TokenPocket, SunDog, SunCat, $PUSS, and Cyber Dog, and community thought leader Trav.

    Why TRON Is Positioned for Meme Coin Momentum

    The rise of meme coins in the TRON ecosystem reflects the platform’s technical strengths and community-driven growth. Justin Sun emphasized that liquidity, seamless infrastructure, and a frictionless user experience make TRON a natural launchpad for viral Web3 assets.

    The TRON network currently hosts over $64 billion in USDT, a record high that directly benefits token trading pairs and meme coin liquidity. In addition, TRON’s newly introduced zero-gas model allows users to cover network fees using USDT, with 90% of costs subsidized, resulting in fees of less than 1 USDT per transaction—greatly enhancing accessibility and usability.

    The initiative is further supported by strong exchange partnerships. Major centralized exchanges including HTX, Poloniex, Kraken, Gate.io, KuCoin, and MEXC have committed to supporting TRON-based meme coin listings and trading, boosting exposure and liquidity across global markets.

    The Community as a Catalyst

    During the X Spaces event, Sun underlined the importance of community in shaping the meme coin movement, “It’s important to adopt the community values and see what people want. We need to follow where the traffic goes and what the community is interested in the most.”

    He added, “We have learnt a lot from previous cases and the mistakes. We will do it way better than what we have done before. 2.0 also represents the resilience of the team and the community. It shows a spirit that we will always do it.”

    Looking Ahead: AI Infrastructure and a Potential TRX ETF

    TRON Meme Season 2.0 marks one of the major highlights of Q1 2025, following the successful launch of USDD 2.0, which has now reached a market cap of nearly $300 million.

    In Q2, HTX and TRON DAO will continue to prioritize the growth of meme assets, while also introducing AI-driven infrastructure tools. Sun shared that an AI infrastructure layer is expected to go live in the coming months, which he described as “one of our top products.”

    Additionally, with regulatory sentiment in the U.S. becoming more constructive, Sun hinted that a TRX ETF listing may be possible within this year.

    Meanwhile, HTX continues its growth trajectory, recently ranking among the Top 5 CEXs globally by user funds, as reported by DefiLlama. Sun remarked, “HTX is growing to be a more and more competitive exchange. We’re making sure that people can trade safely on HTX.”

    About HTX

    Founded in 2013, HTX has evolved from a virtual asset exchange into a comprehensive ecosystem of blockchain businesses that span digital asset trading, financial derivatives, research, investments, incubation, and other businesses.

    As a world-leading gateway to Web3, HTX harbors global capabilities that enable it to provide users with safe and reliable services.

    Source: GlobeNewswire (MIL-OSI)

    MIAMI, March 25, 2025 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) — Wrap Technologies (NASDAQ: WRAP) (“Wrap” or, the “Company”), a global leader in innovative public safety technologies and non-lethal tools, today announced the appointment of Stephen M. Renna as a Strategic Advisor to the Company. Mr. Renna brings more than 35 years of executive experience in both public and private sectors and will focus on international expansion, with an emphasis on Made-in-USA exports and financing strategies through U.S. government resources.

    A seasoned expert at the intersection of business and government, Mr. Renna served as Chief Banking Officer at the U.S. Export-Import Bank (EXIM), where he led the execution of trade financing solutions in support of U.S. exporters, managing a $50 billion portfolio and a $40 billion pipeline. At Wrap, he is expected to advise on leveraging programs, such as the EXIM Bank and the Department of Defense (“DoD”) Office of Strategic Capital, to expand Wrap’s international go-to-market strategy and enhance its international pipeline for services like the Company’s BolaWrap and Managed Safety and Response (MSR).

    “Steve’s appointment underscores our commitment to transforming how U.S. safety technologies are deployed worldwide,” said Jared Novick, President of Wrap. “We believe that his unmatched expertise in federal finance and international deal-making will not only increase our competitiveness globally—but also allow us to create a strategic advantage for U.S.-made public safety solutions.”

    “We have had strong international interest, with many potential purchases, in the final stages,” said Scot Cohen, Chief Executive Officer and Executive Chairman of Wrap. “We believe offering financial solutions will help deepen our value proposition in a way that also aligns with U.S. strategic interests.”

    Mr. Renna’s career includes leadership roles that positioned American companies to win global contracts against foreign state-backed competitors. As Head of The Advocacy Center at the U.S. Department of Commerce, he helped coordinate government support for U.S. firms bidding on international government contracts—facilitating wins on more than 200 projects totaling over $147 billion in value.

    Made in USA Products and Services

    The Company believes Mr. Renna’s insights will be instrumental in aligning Wrap’s mission with critical U.S. government initiatives, including the China and Transformational Exports Program (CTEP), which offers competitive financing for key strategic sectors—such as public safety, AI, and communications—to help counter growing Chinese influence in emerging markets.

    “We believe Wrap is uniquely positioned to advance American leadership in public safety innovation,” said Mr. Renna. “I am excited to help extend Wrap’s impact by unlocking financing tools that enable U.S. technologies to compete—and win—on the global stage.”

    Mr. Renna currently serves as Principal at Federal Agency Finance Advisors, LLC, where he advises companies on accessing financing from federal agencies including EXIM, DOE, and the DoD. He previously led the federal agency practice at Ankura’s Global Strategic Advisory Group and served as Chief Executive Officer of the Commercial Real Estate Finance Council.

    He holds a Juris Doctor degree from the Catholic University of America Columbus School of Law and a Bachelor of Arts degree with honors from Fairfield University.

    Source: GlobeNewswire (MIL-OSI)

    New York, N.Y., March 25, 2025 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) — NANO Nuclear Energy Inc. (NASDAQ: NNE) (“NANO Nuclear” or “the Company”), a leading advanced nuclear energy and technology company focused on developing clean energy solutions, today announced that it has assembled the first reactor core hardware of its ZEUS microreactor for initial non-nuclear testing.

    ZEUS, a solid core battery reactor, is being developed by NANO Nuclear as part of the next generation of portable, on-demand capable, advanced nuclear microreactors to provide clean, scalable power for data centers, remote locations, industrial sites, military operations, and disaster relief scenarios. The successful validation of the reactor core through scaled testing will position NANO Nuclear to advance toward full prototype construction and licensing efforts in the coming years.

    The assembled hardware consists of a 1:2 scale block, precisely engineered to be representative of a fuel element of the ZEUS microreactor core. This milestone represents a major advancement in NANO Nuclear’s continued development of its proprietary microreactor technology.

    The initial testing phase will focus on the assessment of the thermo-mechanical performance of the block under anticipated prototypical conditions for ZEUS. The results will inform the next stages of reactor development. These results will be crucial for verifying engineering plans, refining physics models, and optimizing ZEUS core and heat management systems.

    “We are very excited to have completed the first ZEUS reactor core block for non-nuclear testing,” said Prof. Peter Hosemann, Head of Nuclear Reactor Design and Materials of NANO Nuclear. “This very precise component will be heated conventionally using linear heaters as fuel rod surrogates. The test will be used to verify temperature distribution, to investigate fit tolerances, and to confirm and benchmark our models, paving the way for a larger sub-core assembly.”

    “I am thrilled to see our transition from design to hardware assembling and testing for a key component of our ZEUS reactor,” said Prof. Massimiliano Fratoni, Senior Director and Head of Reactor Design of NANO Nuclear. “The lack of an in-core fluid in our ZEUS design not only simplifies greatly the design but also enables rapid prototyping and non-nuclear testing. We are expecting to iterate quickly through progressively larger scale tests up to full core.”

  • MIL-OSI: POET to Demonstrate Cutting-Edge Light Source and Industry-leading 1.6T Optical Engines for AI Applications at OFC Conference

    Source: GlobeNewswire (MIL-OSI)

    TORONTO, March 25, 2025 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) — POET Technologies Inc. (“POET” or the “Company“) (TSX Venture: PTK; NASDAQ: POET), a leader in the design and implementation of highly-integrated optical engines and light sources for artificial intelligence networks, today announced it plans to demonstrate its latest technology innovations and products at the Optical Fiber Communications (OFC) Conference, which will be held in San Francisco, California from April 1st to April 3rd, 2025. POET’s executive management team and engineers will be meeting customers and industry analysts at the Company’s booth No. 5315 during the Exhibition.

    POET Blazar™ Demo (Invitation Only): Senior technical and executive management of select technology companies will have the opportunity to observe the highly anticipated POET Blazar prototype in private meetings with POET management. Built on the POET Optical Interposer™ platform, Blazar is a ground-breaking light source solution to power both co-packaged optics (CPO) and high-bandwidth, chip-to-chip, light-based data communications links. Named after an extremely bright galactic object, Blazar utilizes POET’s wafer-level chip-scale packaging technology to create a high-power, multi-channel light source as an alternative to traditional DFB laser-based solutions. Wafer-level chip-scale technology significantly lowers the cost of the light source, provides larger scale and better reliability, and promises to increase the effective supply of Indium Phosphide, a rare and limited compound semiconductor material commonly used as the light-producing element in lasers. 

    “Given the vast potential of our ELS (external light source) solution and the sensitive nature of the technology, we have opted to limit its exposure, which is why we are selecting a number of senior technologists and executives to an invitation-only viewing,” POET Chairman and CEO Dr. Suresh Venkatesan said. “The Blazar can transform the economies of scale for AI connectivity with an architecture that reduces costs and increases scale and manufacturing efficiency. With the massive amount of compute power that AI demands, we believe that the Blazar offers an economically superior solution to achieving next-generation performance. It is a crucial component to getting to 3.2T in pluggable optical modules and achieving the higher speeds, bandwidth and low-latency needed for chip-to-chip data communication links.”

    POET Teralight™ 1.6T Optical Engine (Live Public Demo): In partnership with Mitsubishi Electric, POET will unveil its Teralight product line of 1.6T highly integrated transmit and receive optical engines offering a complete optical system-on-chip architecture that reduces cost and simplifies module design. The 1.6T transmit engine includes only four externally modulated laser chips, rather than the standard eight lasers for 1.6T transceivers, due to Mitsubishi Electric’s unique 2x200G EML laser design, a cost reduction in the most expensive transmit component. Built-in high-speed drivers, monitor photo diodes, a thermistor and optical multiplexers (for FR4 applications) make this the most highly integrated system-on-chip available on the market. The receive engine includes photo diodes, trans-impedance amplifiers (TIAs) and demultiplexers (for FR4 applications). The POET Optical Interposer design eliminates the use of wire bonds between devices, which reduces the RF crosstalk to achieve industry-leading performance at the highest speeds available on the market. The system-on-chip architecture allows customers to use the same board design for 1.6T DR8 and 2xFR4 pluggable modules, a feature unique to POET that eliminates the need for separate DR and FR engineering teams, which has been a standard development approach within the industry.

    Leading Module Customers Incorporating POET Optical Engines: Among the leading suppliers offering modules based on POET’s optical engines, LuxshareTech will be demonstrating 400G and 800G DR and FR modules at OFC (Booth #4905) and Adtran (formerly ADVA) will demo a highly integrated Quattro 100G LR4 in their private demo room. Quattro LR4 integrates four instances of 100G LR4 into a single QSFP-DD form factor, quadrupling the density of 100G ports in 400G switch and routing platforms. This module has gained intense interest from both hyperscalers and telecom network providers for its performance and cost-effectiveness.

    Product Showcase: POET will also have a product showcase of its current portfolio suite of optical engines and light sources at its booth. Some of those products have been designed into customer solutions that will be demonstrated at the POET booth as market-ready applications.

    Lightwave Award: In addition, Company representatives will collect the recently announced Elite Score award at the Lightwave+BTR Innovations Reviews Reception, which is scheduled to be held at the Moscone Center in Rooms 307/308 on March 31, 2025 at 5:00 PM PST.

    North American corporate CUSIP requests totaled 8,103 in February, which is up 79.9% on a monthly basis. On an annualized basis, North American corporate requests were down 7.1% over February 2024 totals. The monthly increase was driven by a 112.8% rise in request volume for U.S. corporate debt identifiers, along with increases in request volume forshort-term certificates of deposit (61.6%) and longer-term certificates of deposit (19.5%).

    The aggregate total of identifier requests for new municipal securities – including municipal bonds, long-term and short-term notes, and commercial paper – rose 36.4% versus January totals. On a year-over-year basis, overall municipal volumes were up 17.1%. Texas led state-level municipal request volume with a total of 118 new CUSIP requests in February, followed by New York (73) and California (65).

    “Corporate and municipal CUSIP requests rebounded in February after declines in January to start the year,” said Gerard Faulkner, Director of Operations for CGS. “It will be interesting to see if the turnaround in higher request volume will be sustained amid market and economic uncertainty.”

    Requests for international equity CUSIPs rose 29.2% in February and international debt CUSIP requests rose 26.2%. On an annualized basis, international equity CUSIP requests were up 20.1% and international debt CUSIP requests were up 48.7%.

The revenue increase of $832, representing an increase of 1,321%, is primarily attributable to revenue received from our MARKET.live business unit services packages and from our Go Fund Yourself business unit.

    Revenue was $723 for the quarter ended December 31, 2024, as compared to $29 for the quarter ended December 31, 2023. The revenue increase of $694, representing an increase of 2,393%, is primarily attributable to tremendous growth from our MARKET.live business unit services packages and from our newly-formed Go Fund Yourself business unit.

The decrease of $1,254 is due to a revision in the amortization of software development costs resulting from extending the life of the asset on January 1, 2024.

    General and administrative expenses including stock compensation expense were $11,238 for the year ended December 31, 2024, as compared to $11,508 for the year ended December 31, 2023.

  • MIL-OSI: AI Influence on Medical Diagnostics Generating Billion Dollar Revenues While Growing Adoption Reduces Healthcare Costs

    Source: GlobeNewswire (MIL-OSI)

    PALM BEACH, Fla., March 25, 2025 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) — FN Media Group News Commentary – Artificial intelligence (AI) has become a significant part of healthcare and is being used in almost all sectors, including diagnostics. The integration of AI has increased the growth and development of the healthcare industry. In diagnostic testing, AI is used to analyze medical images (CT scans, X-rays, ultrasounds, MRIs, and DXAs), large patient data, vital signs (pulse rate, body temperature, blood pressure, and respiration rate), medical history, and laboratory test results. AI provides several advantages in diagnostics, such as accuracy, efficiency, reduced human errors, and cost savings. Healthcare professionals can make more informed decisions and develop personalized treatment options. The AI in the diagnostics market is growing due to reduced healthcare costs, reduced healthcare burden on professionals, and enhanced patient satisfaction. A recent report from Towards Healthcare, said: “The global AI in diagnostics market is to value at US$ 1.74 billion in 2025 is to touch US$ 5.24 billion by 2030. In 2023, North America led the AI in diagnostics market with a 53% share, while Asia Pacific is set to experience the fastest growth. The software segment dominated by component and is expected to show the highest CAGR. In diagnosis, neurology held the largest market share, while radiology is predicted to grow at the quickest pace during the forecast period. AI in diagnostics is advancing accuracy and efficiency in medical evaluations, driving its global expansion across various sectors.”   Active healthcare/tech companies active in the markets include: Avant Technologies Inc. (OTCQB: AVAI), Tempus AI, Inc. (NASDAQ: TEM), Teladoc Health (NYSE: TDOC), Talkspace (NASDAQ: TALK), BullFrog AI Holdings, Inc. (NASDAQ: BFRG).

    Towards Healthcare continued; “The global AI in diagnostics market was estimated at US$ 1.12 billion in 2023 and is projected to grow to US$ 12.65 billion by 2034, rising at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 24.64% from 2024 to 2034. The demand for AI in diagnostic testing has increased significantly due to the various benefits AI provides. One of the major benefits is reduced human error, which improves overall diagnostic results that can be used by professionals to develop appropriate treatment options. Preventive care has become a really necessary step for improving health. Growing infectious diseases and chronic conditions have increased the burden on healthcare resources and professionals. It is estimated that the healthcare cost will rise up to US$ 176 billion without effective interventions, which is going to increase the demand for preventive care in the future. With the help of AI in diagnostics, this can be reduced as AI can play a significant role in preventive care. Preventive care involves analyzing medical records, medical history, lifestyle, genetics, and other aspects to identify future health risks. However, it is a very time-consuming and tedious process. Healthcare workers are prone to errors when analyzing such a large amount of data, which can lead to misinterpretation. The use of AI can mitigate all these challenges and help in analyzing health risks with data analytics in less time with more accuracy and efficiency.”

    Avant Technologies, Inc. (OTCQB: AVAI) and Ainnova Begin Designing Clinical Trial Protocol for Company’s Vision AI Platform Avant Technologies, Inc. (“Avant” or the “Company”) and its partner, Ainnova Tech, Inc., (Ainnova), a leading healthcare technology company focused on revolutionizing early disease detection using artificial intelligence (AI), today announced that the Company has started designing its clinical trial protocol ahead of a pre-submission meeting with the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA). The pre-submission meeting is to request guidance on the clinical testing needed for its Vision AI platform in the early detection of diabetic retinopathy, and Ainnova’s clinical trial will culminate in the submission of an FDA 510(k) to obtain clearance from the regulatory agency to market its technology.

    Ainnova has hired an ophthalmologist, who is assisting in drafting the requirements for the clinical trial protocol that the Company’s Contract Research Organization (CRO), Fortrea, has requested. Upon completion of the protocol, Ainnova will work with its CRO to prepare and send all the documentation to the FDA for its upcoming pre-submission meeting. A clinical trial protocol is a detailed, written plan that outlines the objectives, design, methodology, and organization of a clinical research project, ensuring the safety of participants and the integrity of data collected. The Company expects its pre-submission meeting with the FDA to occur in mid-May 2025.

    Ai-nova Acquisition Corp. (AAC), the Company formed by the partnership between Avant and Ainnova to advance and commercialize Ainnova’s technology portfolio, including its Vision AI platform and its versatile retinal cameras, has the global licensing rights for this portfolio, so the success of Ainnova’s interactions with the FDA are paramount to marketing the technology portfolio in the United States.

    For medical device applicants like Ainnova, the FDA’s pre-submission program is useful to determine a clear regulatory pathway for the successful launch of the device, including the number of patients and the number of clinics needed to generate the necessary clinical data for the FDA to make an informed decision on Ainnova’s Vision AI platform. For Avant, the pre-submission meeting will help define a precise budget for the strategic partnership’s entire FDA process.    CONTINUED… Read this and more news for Avant Technologies at:   https://www.financialnewsmedia.com/news-avai/

  • MIL-OSI: Idaho Copper Announces US Forest Service Decision Notice and Finding of No Significant Impact for CuMo Exploration Project Plan

    Source: GlobeNewswire (MIL-OSI)

    Boise, Idaho, March 25, 2025 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) — Idaho Copper Corp. (OTC Pink: COPR) is pleased to announce that on March 14, 2025 the United States Forest Service, Boise National Forest (“USFS”) issued a Decision Notice and Finding of No Significant Impact under an Environmental Assessment approving the Company’s Plan of Operations (“PoO”) to conduct exploration drilling and related activities at its CuMo project located in Boise County, Idaho.

    Andrew Brodkey, Company CEO commented, “This is a major milestone for Idaho Copper. We have been working with the Forest Service since 2016 to build a plan that complies with myriad federal laws and regulations to ensure that exploration activities at CuMo will not have any significant effect on the environment. The Forest Service has done an admirable job, with hundreds of pages of specialist reports addressing all conceivable environmental concerns from exploration. In addition, the Decision Notice requires the Company to implement dozens of mitigation measures and best management practices designed to protect the environment. Idaho Copper’s work under the PoO will consist mainly of temporary road building, maintenance, and drilling activities, and requires that when complete, all roads, drillpads, and drillholes are properly closed and reclaimed. Most importantly, there will be no significant impact to the Boise River, its tributaries, or the Boise River Watershed, through the application of mitigating measures set forth in the Forest Service Decision Notice.”

    The exploration activities outlined in the PoO are needed to develop additional data to determine if a future decision to proceed with a mine is justified. Nothing beyond exploration has been approved by the Forest Service via this DN, and any decision to develop a mine is years away. Any such decision will depend, among other things, on the preparation of an Environmental Impact Statement (“EIS”) under federal law, in which the public will have the right to participate.

    About Idaho Copper Corporation

    Idaho Copper Corporation is a mineral exploration and development company focused on exploring and developing a massive copper-molybdenum-silver deposit in Idaho (United States), (“the CuMo” project). The CuMo project currently consists of one hundred and twenty-six (126) federal unpatented lode mining claims, and six (6) patented mining claims. In total, the project comprises approximately 2,640 acres. The unpatented lode mining claims and patented claims are situated in an unorganized mining district in Boise County, Idaho.
