[{"type":"text","content":" Soil Samples return Copper Anomalies in the Cathedral Area VANCOUVER, BC / ACCESSWIRE / May 6, 2020 / IMC International Mining Corp. (CSE:IMCX) (OTC PINK:IMIMF) (FRA:3MX) (the \"Company\" or \"IMC\"), is pleased to announce the receipt of a geochemical sampling and data verification report from CME Consultants Inc. (\"CME\") on its Thane Property (the \"Property\"). This study was requested by IMC to determine the quality of the results from samples previously collected by Thane Minerals Inc. (\"TMI\") on the Property. The object of the study was to undertake multi-element and gold analysis on rock samples collected by TMI that were not previously analyzed by an accredited geochemical laboratory, and to confirm the results of analytical work undertaken on previous work programs. The study involved the submission of 452 rock sample pulps, originally collected throughout the Property, and 223 contour soil samples, originally collected from the Cathedral Area, but not previously analyzed. Samples were submitted to ALS Minerals of North Vancouver (\"ALS\") for multi-element (ICP-MS) and gold analysis (fire assay). The ALS assay results from both the rock and soil samples returned similar values to those returned from analysis by a portable X-Ray Fluorescence instrument (\"pXRF\") originally used by TMI. Samples were originally analyzed by pXRF as a time and cost saving measure, to reduce the quantity of samples submitted to the laboratory for geochemical analysis. In previous years only samples returning greater than 1,000 ppm Cu by pXRF analysis were originally submitted by TMI to a laboratory for further analysis. Although the pXRF instrument is an efficient tool in determining copper values, the instrument is unable to obtain reliable gold values. To verify the rock samples collected in 2012 that were submitted to an accredited geochemical laboratory, but did not include adequate quality control protocols, approximately 5% of those original samples (16 rock sample pulps) were submitted to ALS for check analysis. As a result of the ALS check analysis returning acceptable statistical results, the Company now considers all of the results reported by ActLabs in 2012 acceptable for public disclosure. Rock sampling undertaken by TMI on the Property in 2013, 2016, 2017, and 2019 included adequate quality control measures and ...
