THE INFORMATION CONTAINED WITHIN THIS ANNOUNCEMENT IS DEEMED BY IMC TO
CONSTITUTE INSIDE INFORMATION AS STIPULATED UNDER THE MARKET ABUSE REGULATION
(EU) NO. 596/2014, AS AMENDED ("MAR"). ON THE PUBLICATION OF THIS ANNOUNCEMENT
VIA A REGULATORY INFORMATION SERVICE ("RIS"), THIS INSIDE INFORMATION IS NOW
CONSIDERED TO BE IN THE PUBLIC DOMAIN.

IMC Exploration Group Public Limited Company
(“IMC”)
Work by the Raw Materials Characterization Laboratory at Trinity College
Dublin on the distribution of precious metals at IMC’s Avoca deposit and
Kilmacoo gold prospect in Ireland continues

IMC, in association with the Raw Materials Characterization Laboratory at
Trinity College Dublin, is continuing studies on the precious metals to be
found at IMC’s wholly-owned Avoca deposit and Kilmacoo gold prospect in Co.
Wicklow, Ireland. The collaboration between the Raw Materials Research Group
at Trinity College Dublin and IMC was announced on 24th September 2019. The
aim of the continuing work is further to characterise the form and
distribution of gold to assess the extent of syn-tectonic enrichment during
the Caledonian Orogeny. IMC’s project represents an opportunity to apply a
state-of-the-art microanalytical approach to a major, historical deposit which
has significant exploration upside.  The study is refining the understanding
of metal zonation and sulphide paragenesis within the Avoca orebodies and
Kilmacoo Au prospect and it will allow the development of a robust mineral
deposit model for gold mineralisation across the Avoca District in particular
and South-East Ireland in general.

 
The project will contribute important mineral chemical data on sulphide phases
hosting gold, benefiting exploration and supporting future metallurgical work
on the mineralisation at Avoca and Kilmacoo.  

Eamon O’Brien commented, “It is significant that our Kilmacoo project at
Avoca, Co. Wicklow is being worked on by the Raw Materials Characterization
Laboratory of Trinity College Dublin. The presence of an inferred resource of
gold, silver, lead, copper and zinc in the Avoca spoils’ and tailings’
project has already been set out in IMC’s Mineral Resource Estimate
(“MRE”) announced on 11th September 2019, which was prepared in accordance
with the JORC Code (2012). The MRE is of great significance to IMC, with the
gold estimate alone coming in at 20,000 ozs. The microanalytical approach will
also benefit and support our forthcoming metallurgical testing."

This regulatory release has been approved by Eur Geol Professor Garth Earls,
PGeo, FSEG, who is an independent consulting geologist and a Competent Person
as defined in the JORC 2012 reporting code.
