Idaho Copper Wins U.S. Forest Service Approval to Begin CuMo Drilling
Idaho Copper received a U.S. Forest Service letter approving its Exploration Plan of Operations and 2026 annual operating plan for the CuMo project in Boise County, Idaho, clearing the way for drilling and road-building. The company says the approval removes the remaining administrative conditions and lets it start work, with up to 15,000 feet of diamond core drilling targeted this season.
