Leocor Mining Inc. exercised 8,823,529 warrants of Intrepid Metals Corp. on April 2, 2026, converting the warrants into common shares and raising its ownership from 8.17 % to 15.09 % of Intrepid’s issued and outstanding shares. The exercise eliminated Leocor’s warrant position entirely, giving the company full voting rights and a larger claim to any future dividends or capital distributions from Intrepid’s mining operations.
The warrants were exercised at a price that was not disclosed in the announcement. The conversion increased Leocor’s stake to 15.09 %, a jump of roughly 7 percentage points, and positioned the company as a significant shareholder alongside other major investors such as Teck Resources, which holds a 14.7 % stake.
By converting the warrants, Leocor gains a larger foothold in Intrepid’s exploration portfolio, which includes the Corral copper project as well as the Tombstone South and Mesa Well projects in Arizona. The increased ownership gives Leocor greater influence over Intrepid’s strategic decisions and potential future financing rounds, while also providing a direct exposure to base‑metal exploration that complements Leocor’s core focus on precious metals.
In a statement accompanying the announcement, Leocor said, “The Company has exercised the Warrants of Intrepid for investment purposes. Depending on market conditions and other factors, the Company may from time to time acquire or dispose of securities of Intrepid or continue to hold its current position.”
No immediate market reaction has been reported following the announcement.
