Financial Results for IMC Exploration Group PLC ('IMC' or 'the Company') for
the half-year ended 31st December 2018
Chairman's Statement
The Directors of IMC Exploration Group plc are pleased to present the interim
financial results for IMC for the six months to 31st December 2018. The
consolidated, unaudited financial statements presented below have been reviewed
by the Company's auditors.
IMC continues with its exploration work on its spoils and tailings project in
Avoca, Co. Wicklow in association with Trove Metals Limited. Over this period
IMC has been engaged in extensive sampling, petrographic, mineralogical and
metallurgical testing. In the fourth quarter of 2018, IMC carried out drilling
on its highly prospective Avoca property PL 3849 in Co Wicklow, Ireland. The
drill hole encountered a sequence of flow-banded rhyolites, locally brecciated
with a dark siliceous matrix and minor pyrite mineralisation (maximum 1%
pyrite). Several zones (1-2m wide) of intense quartz veining with pyrite occur
within the rhyolite sequence. During this period, IMC also engaged CSA Global
Limited to carry out a JORC Code (2012) compliant Competent Person's Report.
IMC has commenced drilling on its north Wexford licence PL 2551. This is a
highly prospective licence for gold mineralisation. There are many occurrences
of gold in panned concentrates, gold in soils, gold in deep overburden, gold in
mineralised float and gold in bedrock.
This has been a significant six months for IMC. The progress made on our Avoca
spoils and tailings project has been remarkable. IMC is embarking on a very
exciting drilling programme on a number of our licences in the coming weeks and
months. In the opinion of your Board, IMC is well positioned to realise its
potential to the benefit of all shareholders.

Expenditure on exploration activities is deferred on areas of interest until a
reasonable assessment can be determined of the existence or otherwise of
economically recoverable reserves. No amortisation has been charged in the
period. The directors have reviewed the carrying value of the exploration and
evaluation assets and consider it to be fairly stated and not impaired at 31
December 2018. The recoverability of the exploration and evaluation assets is
dependent on the successful development of the group's licence areas.
