CMX Gold & Silver Corp. (CSE: CXC; OTC: CXXMF) has expanded its marketing and investor awareness program through a one-year corporate communications agreement with IBN, executed on December 31, 2025. The expanded outreach is intended to increase visibility as the company advances exploration planning at its flagship Clayton Silver Project in Idaho's Bayhorse Mining District.
Under the agreement, IBN will act as an independent contractor and provide investor awareness and communications services for a base fee of $3,000 per month, or $36,000 for the one-year term, with potential for additional fees related to supplemental services. The company's latest news and updates relating to CXXMF are available in the company's newsroom at https://ibn.fm/CXXMF.
CMX's 100%-owned Clayton Silver Property comprises approximately 684 acres in Custer County in south-central Idaho, including the former Clayton silver-lead-zinc mine. The Clayton Mine was developed on eight levels to a depth of 1,100 feet below surface and comprises approximately 19,690 feet of underground development. Two major ore bodies were partially mined: the South Ore Body and the North Ore Body.
The property's significant potential is demonstrated in hole 1501-A, drilled in the mid-1960s, which penetrated the mineralized zone at 1,425 feet. At that depth, the hole intercepted 22 feet of 4.07 oz Ag/t, 5.75% lead and 5.37% zinc, though true width is unknown. The recorded production from the Clayton Mine included 7,031,110 oz silver, 86,771,527 lbs lead, 28,172,211 lbs zinc, 1,664,177 lbs copper, and minor amounts of gold from an estimated 2,145,652 tonnes of ore mined between 1934 and 1985.
The company is planning work programs in 2025 and extending over the next several years to assess the resource potential within the structures related to the previously mined sections and to expand the search to determine the potential for other mineralized zones in adjacent structures. This will entail detailed geophysical work and multiple drill programs. CMX has concluded that very little geophysics was done on the property historically.
For business and technology leaders monitoring the mining sector, this expanded communications initiative represents a strategic move to increase market awareness during a critical exploration phase. The full press release can be viewed at https://ibn.fm/IyoQd. Effective investor communication has become increasingly important for resource companies seeking to differentiate themselves in competitive capital markets, particularly as they transition from historical operations to modern exploration programs.
The agreement with IBN, which is part of the Dynamic Brand Portfolio that delivers access to wire solutions, article syndication to 5,000+ outlets, enhanced press release services, and social media distribution, reflects the growing sophistication of corporate communications in the mining sector. MiningNewsWire, one of 75+ brands within IBN, serves as a specialized communications platform with a focus on developments and opportunities in the Global Mining and Resources sectors.
For leaders evaluating investment opportunities in the resource sector, this development highlights how junior mining companies are leveraging professional communications services to build investor confidence during exploration phases. The strategic timing of this expanded outreach coincides with CMX's planned work programs, suggesting a coordinated approach to stakeholder engagement as the company seeks to demonstrate the Clayton property's potential through modern exploration techniques.
