IMC Exploration Group plc ("IMC" or the "Company")
Gold mineralisation confirmed in appraisal drilling at North Wexford
* Zones of gold mineralisation present throughout rhyolites
* Potential for mineralisation confirmed along strike and to depth
* Rocks intersected also confirm base metal potential
IMC Exploration Group plc (IMC), the London-listed gold exploration company
based in Ireland, is pleased to report that drillhole 20-1200-01 intersected a
47m mineralised acid volcanic horizon (mainly rhyolites) at depths up to 50m
deeper than historical drilling, during appraisal drilling on its North Wexford
gold project. Gold mineralisation occurs over five closely-spaced intervals
(ranging from 0.9 - 1.4m wide) with a maximum grade of 0.4 g/t Au over a 1m
interval.
These grades are in line with those reported previously from historic drill
hole GQ1 (reported 19th November 2020; 0.5 g/t Au over 18.6m). The alteration
associated with the rhyolites is extensive and indicative of a strong
mineralising system that is prospective for both gold and base metals.
The acid volcanic package tested by both GQ1 and 20-1200-01 is one of three
similar geological horizons that traverse PL 1200. Historical geochemical
sampling has proved elevated gold values spatially associated with all three
horizons. In total, there is a strike length of circa 9km of highly prospective
rock types on the licence. Furthermore, IMC operates both the adjoining
licence to the southeast (PL 1199), which has the strike continuation of the
same geology as PL 1200, and the highly prospective licence to the northwest
(PL 2551), where IMC reported gold grades of 354 g/t Au over a 1.5m width in
drilling at Boley.
Chairman Eamon O'Brien commented, "IMC's drilling information from PL 1200
confirms the mineralisation potential of the North Wexford area as indicated in
IMC's 28th January 2021 announcement. Having now validated that gold
mineralisation is present in the rhyolites, future exploration will focus along
strike, to determine an exploration vector towards the probable feeder zone of
the mineralisation."
This release has been approved by EurGeol Professor Garth Earls PGeo, FSEG, who
is an independent consulting geologist and a Competent Person as described in
the JORC 2012 Reporting Code.
