NO. 596/2014 OF THE EUROPEAN PARLIAMENT AND THE COUNCIL OF 16 APRIL 2014 ON
MARKET ABUSE AS IT FORMS PART OF RETAINED EU LAW AS DEFINED IN THE EUROPEAN

RESULTS FOR THE PERIOD 1(st) JULY 2022 TO 31(st) DECEMBER 2022
IMC Exploration Group Public Limited Company
(“IMC” or the “Company”)
Chairman’s Statement
The Directors of IMC are pleased to present the Company’s unaudited,
consolidated, interim financial results for the first six-month period ended
31(st) December 2022 of its current financial year running from 1(st) July
2022 to 30(th) June 2023.
IMC views its strategic licence holding to be amongst the most prospective
exploration licences currently available in Ireland. Commodity prices have
powered ahead in the last six months, with the price of copper reaching an
all-time high. The availability of copper will play a vital role in the
achievement of global national climate objectives signed up to in the Paris
agreement. Demand for copper is already being reflected in its surging price
and IMC hopes to be part of the copper supply chain. The Avoca Copper mine
is situated on IMC’s licence area along with its spoils and tailings project
in Avoca, Co. Wicklow. Following the conclusion of the CSA Global Mineral
Resource Estimate for East Avoca, IMC’s last drill programme focused on
exploring the unmined, south-western extension of the Avoca Cu-Zn-Pb-Ag-Au
deposit with encouraging positive results as reported previously. IMC is
scheduled to carry out a further series of trial pits in order to complete the
geological model.
The price of gold has been at its strongest in recent months, as demand for
gold surges across the world. Gold is playing its age-old role as a safe
haven in times of high inflation and geopolitical uncertainty. IMC again
is very focused on its Avoca and North Wexford gold projects, in addition to
its spoils and tailings project.
IMC has just received approval for its Spring drilling programme from the
Geoscience Regulation Office of the Department of Climate, Environment and
Communications. This is very positive news and allows IMC to continue with
its drill programme on its North Wexford Gold project.
IMC’s successful collaboration with Trinity College Dublin, Ireland,
continues and we will be announcing a full programme of work in the coming
weeks.
IMC previously announced that it had conditionally agreed to acquire MVI
Ireland s.r.o., the 100% owner of the Assat company in Armenia which is the
holder of the mining license for the Karaberd gold mine located in Lori Marz,
northern Armenia. As reported to the market on 31st October 2022 the nature of
the acquisition has changed and IMC, rather than acquiring a company possessed
of a mining licence, is now acquiring the owner of an operating gold mine.
The conditional agreement remains in place and we expect to complete the
acquisition in due course.
This is an excellent time for gold, silver, copper and zinc with the current
high commodity prices. The Directors look forward to reporting further
results from our exploration programme and on progress towards completion of
the MVI Ireland s.r.o. acquisition.
