RESULTS FOR THE YEAR 1(ST) JULY 2021 TO 30(TH) JUNE 2022
IMC Exploration Group Public Limited Company
(“IMC” or the “Company”)
Chairman’s Statement for the year ended 30(th) June 2022
The Directors of IMC Exploration Group plc are pleased to present the
consolidated, audited financial statements for IMC for the twelve months to
30(th) June 2022. The financial statements which follow are extracted from,
but do not constitute, the audited Annual Report and Accounts of the Company
for the above period. Shareholders are referred to the Company’s website:
https://imcexploration.com/ where a downloadable PDF copy of the Annual Report
and Accounts is available.
The past year has been very significant and successful for IMC from a
corporate and exploration perspective. We intersected 18.7m of zinc, lead and
silver mineralisation. We also encountered four zones of massive and
semi-massive sulphide mineralisation at depths between 159 and 206m. When
aggregated over a 18.7m interval, the upper three zones assayed 6.5% zinc and
lead and included 2.8m grading 12.6% zinc and lead and 2.2m grading 70g/t
silver. Our exploration programme has validated and extended zones of
mineralisation encountered in previous exploration. Further, it confirms the
geological interpretation and emphasises the validity in reassessing and
drill-testing historical deposits where significant mineralisation still
remains.
The substantial amount of massive sulphide mineralisation we encountered in
West Avoca supports the interpretation that there is a minimum strike length
of approximately 1,000m of exploration potential to the south-west of the
mapped underground workings at West Avoca.
Grades of up to 1.5% copper and 7.7% lead and zinc mineralisation were
encountered to the south-west of the old workings, providing optimism that
continuity of mineralisation and further economic grade intersections can be
targeted in the West Avoca area.
IMC develops exploration strategies based on reviews of historical data
complemented by follow-up exploration and drilling programmes to define, test
and upgrade geological targets. We consider our licences to be amongst the
most prospective exploration licences currently available in Ireland and IMC
is working with research institutes, including Trinity College Dublin, to
expand its geological knowledge, especially in relation to mineralisation. Our
approach has and will continue to provide quality targets for drill testing
and discovery. Ireland is ranked first in the world in terms of zinc
discovered per square kilometre, and second in the world with respect to lead.
Given the exploration-friendly policies promoted by the Irish Government, the
country’s infrastructure, the previous success of other operators in Ireland
together with the materials, criteria and rationale used by IMC for the
selection of these prospecting licences, it is considered that these licences
have sound and proper potential for the discovery of economic precious and
base metal deposits.
Previous production from the Avoca Mine is estimated to have totalled 16Mt
grading c. 0.6% Cu from banded, vein and disseminated sulphides hosted by the
upper Ordovician Duncannon Group. The total in situ copper resource at Avoca
is reported to have exceeded 100Mt at 0.2% Cu (Sheppard, 2007).
IMC’s North Wexford gold project consists of three properties. Two of
these are prospective for gold and VMS mineralisation, and an adjacent
property is prospective for orogenic gold mineralisation. A drill intersection
of mineralised quartz by IMC returned an interval of 1.5m grading 354g/t Au.
CSA Global established a Mineral Resource Estimate (MRE) at the Avoca mine
spoils and tailings. They reported a JORC-compliant Inferred Mineral Resource
of the equivalent of c. 20,000 ozs of gold, as well as a complement of copper,
lead, zinc and silver metal. Further progress continues to be made at West
Avoca and other areas of the spoils and tailings project.
As reported, the Company has conditionally agreed to purchase the Karaberd
Mine, a gold mine located in Lori Marz, northern Armenia (the
“Acquisition”). IMC considers that the Acquisition of the Karaberd Mine
and the development of the Karaberd ore-crushing facility will serve the
existing strategic direction of IMC, while expanding the geographic scope of
its operations. Further progress has been made in relation to the
Acquisition and is the subject of a separate, concurrent announcement by the
Company captioned “Proposed Acquisition of Karaberd Mine – Update”.
We expect the remainder of the current financial year to be a very progressive
time for the Company, particularly with the conclusion of the Karaberd Mine
transaction. Copper and zinc are essential for sustainable economies and
are vital to the success of the world-wide renewable energy initiatives. IMC
fully expects to be part of this circular economy.
