Interim Financial Results IMC Exploration Group PLC (IMCP) for the six months to 31st December 2015
Dear Shareholder,
The directors of IMC Exploration Group plc are pleased to present the Interim Financial Results for (‘IMC’) for the six months to 31st December 2015.
This is a very exciting time for IMC. We are weeks away from obtaining a standard listing on the main market of the London Stock Exchange, one of the most prestigious stock markets in the world. This will be a major achievement for our company.
IMC notes the unprecedented Irish press coverage of the Geological Survey of Ireland’s (GSI) Tellus survey which has revealed higher than expected levels of gold and platinum in the streams and rivers of Wicklow and Wexford in south east Ireland. Articles published in recent weeks in the Irish Times, the Independent, the Journal and several other publications tell how the Geological Survey of Ireland’s (GSI) Tellus programme made the discovery by applying modern testing methods to stream samples collected in the 1980s. The survey confirms high levels of gold in streams near the Goldmines River and Avoca regions of Wicklow, and the new data identifies high gold values in streams that flow across and along the edges of the Leinster granite.
All five of IMC’s precious metal prospecting licenses in Wicklow and Wexford are sited centrally in the survey region, and are operated as a Joint Venture agreement with Koza Limited (a subsidiary of Koza Altin Isletmeleri A.S.). These encouraging GSI survey results further confirm our own findings for the region. This report justifies, confirms and validates the current geological exploration programme underway with Koza Limited. We are very excited by this.
IMC presented at the PDAC convention in Toronto. I am delighted to report that the presentation was very well received.
IMC has had a number of approaches from international mining companies about the possibility of entering into a further joint venture with IMC’s base metal properties in Limerick, Clare and Tipperary. The fact that Ireland is the largest producer of zinc concentrates in Europe and ranks as the 10th largest producer of zinc concentrates in the world has encouraged these companies to approach IMC with a view to being a part of this great opportunity.
We are looking forward to the coming weeks with enthusiasm. The culmination of the standard listing on the main market of the London Stock Exchange, IMC’s base metal licence developments and IMC’s Koza agreement currently in operation will truly be transformational for IMC.

Chairman

Expenditure on exploration activities is deferred on areas of interest until a reasonable assessment can be determined of the existence or otherwise of economically recoverable reserves. No amortisation has been charged in the period. The directors have reviewed the carrying value of the exploration and evaluation assets and consider it to be fairly stated and not impaired at 31 December 2015. The recoverability of the exploration and evaluation assets is dependent on the successful development of the group’s licence areas. | |||||||
