[{"type":"text","content":" VANCOUVER, BC / ACCESSWIRE / January 19, 2021 / IMC International Mining Corp. (CSE:IMCX) (OTC PINK:IMIMF) (FRA:3MX) (the \"Company\" or \"IMC\"), is pleased to report initial results from the 2020 exploration program undertaken on the Company's 100% owned Thane Property (the \"Property\") located in north-central British Columbia, Canada. The Property comprises 206.58 sq. kilometers of contiguous claims that were privately owned until acquired by IMC in March 2020. The Property is located within the Quesnel Terrane, a north-south linear volcano-sedimentary belt of rocks intruded by multi-phase intrusive rocks, which hosts multiple porphyry style deposits. To the north of the Property is the currently producing Mt. Milligan copper-gold alkalic porphyry mine and to the south is the past producing Kemess calc-alkalic porphyry copper-gold mine. During the summer of 2020, exploration fieldwork completed an 8-week field program that included Induced Polarization (\"IP\") surveying, petrographic studies, geological mapping, rock, soil and silt sampling with the objective of identifying prospective drill targets for the 2021 exploration season. The results reported in this release are from the Cathedral Area, which comprises approximately 11 sq. kilometers of the 206.58 sq. km Property. Work at the Cathedral Area consisted of approximately 3.1 sq. kilometers of geological mapping, collection of 100 rock samples in support of the geological mapping program, 11 line-kilometers of IP surveying, collection of 507 soil samples along all IP lines and 6 samples submitted for petrographic study. The Showings within the main zone of the Cathedral Area have returned up 13.90% Cu and 6.85 g/t Au from the Cathedral Showing, 4.72% Cu and 1.33 g/t Au from the Cathedral South Showing, 11.10% Cu and 2.77 g/t Au from the Arc Showing and 3.13 % Cu and 0.32 g/t Au from the Gully Showing. Rock sampling undertaken during the 2020 work program was designed to support geological mapping, but significant results were returned. Selected results from grab samples that returned greater than 0.3 % Cu include: Sample # Cu % Au g/t Ag g/t Sample Type 2258 5.930 2.490 11.90 Grab-outcrop 2267 0.422 0.026 0.47 Grab-float 2275 0.462 0.015 1.66 Grab-outcrop 2276 4.510 0.115 13.60 Grab-float 2288 0.334 0.188 1.75 Grab-float 2291 0.429 0.294 3.73 Grab-outcrop 2298 2.320 ...
