UPON THE PUBLICATION OF THIS ANNOUNCEMENT THE INSIDE INFORMATION IS NOW CONSIDERED TO BE IN THE PUBLIC DOMAIN.\n IMC EXPLORATION GROUP PLC\n (“IMC” or the “Company”)\n \n Drilling Update; West Avoca, Co. Wicklow\n \n \n IMC Intersects Zinc, Lead and Copper Mineralisation in First Drillhole at West Avoca\n \n \n The initial drillhole, 21-3850-01, has encountered four zones of massive and semi-massive sulphide. Over 75m of drill core is being split for assay.\n \n \n Three further drill holes are planned to assess the extent and continuity of Cu, Au, Zn, Pb mineralisation along strike from the historic Avoca mine.\n \n \n Historical mineralised intercepts in the West Avoca area include 10m grading 1.1% Cu and 9m grading 10.3% Zn and 4.8% Pb.\n IMC plans that the drill programme will allow an independent resource calculation to be undertaken. in addition to that already in place for the spoils’ and tailings’ project.\n \n IMC Exploration Group plc (IMC), the London-listed exploration company based in Ireland, is pleased to announce the completion of its first drillhole in a 1,000m drilling programme at its West Avoca property on PL 3850, Co. Wicklow, Ireland.\n Drill hole 21-3850-01 has extended the down dip extent of mineralisation and has encountered zinc-lead and copper-gold mineralization as interpreted. \n A total of four massive and semi-massive sulphide zones were encountered between depths of 159m and 226m representing individual heavily mineralised intervals of 1.85, 5.3, 5.0 and 4.9m respectively. The upper three zones are zinc dominant and the lower zone copper dominant. Over 75m of drill core has been split and sent to ALS Laboratories in Co. Galway for analyses.\n Drill hole 21-3850-01 represents a down dip step out of 40m from the nearest historical drillhole which assayed 9m grading 10.3% Zn and 4.8% Pb. The (upper) zinc-lead mineralized horizon now has an extrapolated minimum dip extent of 75m (supported by three drillholes) and remains open both up and down dip and along strik...
