FINAL RESULTS FOR THE YEAR 1ST JULY 2019 TO 30TH JUNE 2020

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 30th June 2020. 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 30th June 2020 posted to shareholders, a copy of which is available from IMC’s website at https://www.imcexploration.com/.

During the year the CSA Global commissioned IMC Mineral Resource Estimate (‘MRE’) on our Avoca spoils and tailings project located in Co. Wicklow, Ireland was published. This JORC-compliant MRE report shows, inter alia, significant grades of extracted and crushed gold (1,871,000t at 0.3g/t Au), copper (1,871,000t at 0.14% Cu) and lead (1,871,000t at 0.42% Pb) in the spoil heaps on the East Avoca section of the site.

This MRE for our spoils and tailings project is significant, with the gold estimate alone at circa 20,000oz.  Furthermore, the Company has recently identified exploration targets at West Avoca where there is further potential to increase this estimate by up to 4,000oz gold within the Avoca area.  This additional work has commenced. 

IMC is also pleased to report there have been major developments in its North Wexford Gold Project which gives us immediate capacity and scope to accelerate our exploration programme here. An initial review of historical exploration on the recently acquired PL 1200 in Co. Wexford is progressing, and is part of a group of three licences held by IMC that are underlain by the mineralized rhyolitic volcanic rocks of South East Leinster.  

Some years ago, RioFinEx drilled a gold-in-soil anomaly on PL 1200 and proved gold mineralisation hosted by highly altered rocks at a depth of 30m. Groove sampling of the drill core proved an intercepted grade of 0.5 g/t Au over 18.6m (weighted average over 3 to 3.6m intervals).  Half core sampling of part of the groove sampled interval assayed 15m at 0.2 g/t Au (weighted average of 1.5m intervals).  Although all the pertinent data is available for examination and extrapolation, IMC intends to drill further in this area in order to confirm and expand on the data available to the Company in accordance with the JORC Code (2012).

This aligns with IMC’s strategy of establishing a gold resource on its three North Wexford prospecting licences. The additional licences in Wexford, along with the high gold grades already encountered on parts of the adjoining IMC licence PL 2551, gives the company the ability to action its exploration and geological work in this area.

During the year IMC entered into a collaboration with the Raw Materials Research Group at Trinity College Dublin. IMC’s Board believes access to this world-class micro-analytical facility is a tremendous advantage for IMC and its Avoca properties. We are now working with them on petrographic and microanalytical work on samples from IMC drill-holes targeting the gold-rich Kilmacoo zone. This strategic partnership has the potential significantly to enhance the gold resource at Avoca. 

Our strategy is clear. We are focused on upgrading our spoils and tailings project at Avoca; gaining maximum advantage from our collaboration with Trinity College; and bringing our resources on our North Wexford gold project licence area to JORC-compliant standards.

As you are no doubt aware the price of gold has recently reached an all-time high of over $2,000 per oz. This, and the exciting developments outlined above, represent an unprecedented time for gold and, in turn, your Company.

Eamon O’Brien,

Chairman
