FINAL RESULTS FOR THE YEAR 1^ST JULY 2020 TO 30^TH JUNE 2021

IMC Exploration Group Public Limited Company

Chairman’s Statement for the Year ended 30 June 2021

The Directors of IMC Exploration Group plc (“IMC” or the “Company”) are pleased to present the audited financial results for IMC for the twelve months to 30^th June 2021.  The consolidated financial statements appearing below (which do not form the full statutory Report and Accounts of the Company) are taken from the Directors’ Report and Financial Statements for the year ended 30 June 2021 posted to shareholders, a copy of which will be available from IMC’s website at https://www.imcexploration.com/.

The last year has been a very eventful time for IMC, both on the corporate and exploration fronts.  Further work on our spoils and tailings’ project has been carried out.  Additional trial pits were excavated proving greater depths than expected at West Avoca and indicating the presence of a larger tonnage of spoils and tailings than had originally been estimated in the CSA Global Report (2019). The gold assays from these trial pits combined with the expected increase in tonnage indicates the existing gold Exploration Target at West Avoca will represent further potential. Significantly elevated copper, lead and silver grades are also present.

IMC will commission an update of the existing West Avoca Exploration Target with the objective of upgrading it to an Inferred Resource.  This will complement the JORC-compliant CSA Global commissioned IMC Mineral Resource Estimate (‘MRE’) on East Avoca where an inferred resource of ca. 20,000 gold oz. was reported.

Further, gold mineralisation was confirmed in appraisal drilling at North Wexford.  Zones of gold mineralisation were present throughout rhyolites.  During appraisal drilling on its North Wexford gold project, IMC intersected a 47m mineralised acid volcanic horizon (mainly rhyolites) at depths up to 50m deeper than historical drilling. Gold mineralisation occurred 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, 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. Rocks intersected also confirmed base metal potential.

The drilling results from our North Wexford licence reinforces the highly prospective geology of IMC’s licences in this area and supports IMC’s strategy of understanding the gold mineralisation with the objective of establishing a gold resource.

With copper prices recently reaching an all-time high, climate change initiatives to the fore and copper a vital component to drive the green economy, IMC will be part of this new, green future with its copper project in Avoca.  IMC’s Avoca licence area in Co. Wicklow contains the historic Avoca copper mine.  This mine is estimated to have contained 16 million tonnes of 0.6% copper which was exported as a concentrate that contained ”payable grades of gold and silver” (Williams et al., 1986).  In addition, in situ zinc and lead mineralisation is present at West Avoca over a minimum strike length of ca. 300m. 

When this mine ceased operations in 1982, (owing mainly to the low price of copper prevailing at that time) significant amounts of ore were left in place.  IMC has reassessed historical records along strike to the south-west from the Avoca mine, and interprets there to be a 1.2 km minimum strike length that has either been only partially tested or else has specific targets remaining to be drill tested.

At the north-eastern end of the 1.2 km strike length outlined by IMC, historical drilling encountered 13.3m grading 3.7% Zn, 1.8% Pb and 5.3m grading 1.9% Cu.  At the south-western end, historical assays include 5.8m grading 0.5% Cu with 0.9m grading 0.5 g/t Au.  Widely-spaced drillholes within the 1.2km strike extent have assayed 10m grading 1.1% Cu and 9.0m grading 10.25% Zn and 4.78% Pb.  Gold grades of up to 0.4 g/t Au over 4.5m have been recorded and represent a highly positive ‘credit’ when taken in consideration with the high copper and zinc grades.

IMC is currently drilling in West Avoca adjoining the historic Avoca Copper mine.  IMC intersected zinc, lead and copper mineralisation its first drill hole in West Avoca.  This drillhole encountered four zones of massive and semi-massive sulphide.  Further drill holes are planned to assess the extent and continuity of copper, gold, zinc and lead mineralisation along strike from the historic Avoca mine.  Historical mineralised intercepts in this area include West Avoca area include 10m grading 1.1% copper and 9m grading 10.3% zinc and 4.8% lead.

SLR Consulting Ireland recently completed a Competent Persons’ Report (‘CPR’) on properties held by IMC.  The historical production from the Avoca mine and the in-situ copper resource at Avoca is remarkable.  Historical production from the Avoca Mine is estimated to have totalled 16 million tonnes grading c.0.6% Cu from banded vein and disseminated sulphides hosted by the upper Ordovician Duncannon Group.  The total in situ copper resource at Avoca is reported to have exceeded 100 million tonnes at 0.2% copper.

As announced to the market on 15 April 2021, IMC has conditionally agreed to purchase the Karaberd Mine, a gold mine located in Lori Marz, northern Armenia, which IMC’s representative has recently visited as part of the due diligence process.

IMC considers that the acquisition of the Karaberd Mine and the development of the Karaberd ore-crushing facility will serve the existing strategic direction of IMC while expanding the geographic scope of its operations.  The Directors believe it will also be transformational for the Company, taking it from being an exploration company to being a mining production company with a source of cash-flow.

This is an excellent time for copper, and for IMC with the historic Avoca copper mine on our licence area.  The price of copper having recently reached an all-time high, this is a particularly opportune time to explore the under-exploited Avoca copper mine. This exploration work is currently underway. In addition, we expect to conclude the acquisition of the Karaberd mine in due course, following completion of IMC’s extensive geological, legal and financial investigations.

Accordingly, we expect that 2022 will be a milestone year for the Company and, in addition to completing the Karaberd purchase, the Company is also reviewing further projects including discussions with a major international company on how best to extract the mineral resources in IMC’s Avoca spoils and tailings’ heaps in an eco-friendly and cost-effective manner.

I look forward to updating shareholders with further intelligence on developing the Company’s existing Irish licences and on the progress of the Armenian mine acquisition as and when this is appropriate and necessary.
