IMC Exploration Group #IMCP – Corporate and Exploration Update
IMC’s feasibility study on its flagship project in Avoca, Co. Wicklow (PLs 3849 and 3850) is continuing and to that end the Company has signed a Heads of Agreement with Trove Metals Limited which is expected to lead to a joint venture agreement, subject to the approval of the Minister for Communications, Climate Action and Environment.
We are in on-going discussions regarding Koza’s role in IMC. IMC has enjoyed a good working relationship with Koza over several years and, by mutual agreement, the current IMC/Koza joint venture has been set aside. We are assured of and look forward to their contribution to the future of IMC.
The board of IMC has undertaken a full review of its 15 Prospecting Licences. Following this, it was decided that IMC would focus on its 12 most prospective licences, requesting permission from the Exploration and Mining Division of the Department of Communications, Climate Action and Environment to relinquish licences numbers PL 2103, PL 3460 and PL 3668.
IMC is continuing with its application for admission of the whole of its Ordinary Share capital to the standard segment of the Official List of the London Stock Exchange.
Dr. Glenn Millar stated, “This is a very exciting time for IMC. The undertaking of our feasibility study in Avoca, Co. Wicklow should further advance our asset towards production.”

IMC Exploration (IMCP) – International Mining Developments Impact Positively on IMC
Global events in recent months have impacted very positively on the mining sector and IMC Exploration (ISDX:IMCP) is in a position to benefit from these developments. On a macro level, the rising price of gold and zinc since the beginning of the year is very reassuring but we are also very mindful of, and encouraged by, the results of an Irish Government sponsored/instigated geological survey.
In March 2016, the Geological Survey of Ireland (GSI) released the Tellus Survey, revealing higher than expected values of gold and platinum in the streams and rivers of Counties Wicklow and Wexford in south east Ireland. All five of IMC’s precious metal prospecting licences in Wicklow and Wexford are sited centrally in the survey region, the very licence areas we are exploring with our joint venture partners, Koza Limited (a subsidiary of the gold mining major, Koza Altin Isletmeleri AS).
The Tellus Survey further confirms high levels of gold in streams near the Gold Mine River and Avoca region of Wicklow, justifying, confirming and validating the current geological exploration programme underway with Koza Limited.
The company has had several approaches from international mining companies in relation to its base metal licences. These approaches have come as a result of a resurgence of interest in the base metal sector in Ireland, leaving IMC well positioned to take advantage of this via our 10 base metal licences, through the imminent implementation of our comprehensive, fully costed and attainable 18 month base metal Work’s Programme.
Chairman, Liam McGrattan said: “Ireland’s position as the largest producer of zinc concentrates in Europe and its rank as the 10th largest producer of zinc concentrates in the world, IMC is poised to join the list of companies adding value to this national asset. This is a great time for gold and base metals and is an exciting time for IMC.”
The Directors of the issuer accept responsibility for this announcement.
