The Directors of IMC are pleased to present the Company’s unaudited, consolidated, interim financial results for the first six-month period ended 31st December 2022 of its current financial year running from 1st July 2022 to 30th June 2023.

IMC views its strategic licence holding to be amongst the most prospective exploration licences currently available in Ireland.  Commodity prices have powered ahead in the last six months, with the price of copper reaching an all-time high.  The availability of copper will play a vital role in the achievement of global national climate objectives signed up to in the Paris agreement.  Demand for copper is already being reflected in its surging price and IMC hopes to be part of the copper supply chain.   The Avoca Copper mine is situated on IMC’s licence area along with its spoils and tailings project in Avoca, Co. Wicklow.   Following the conclusion of the CSA Global Mineral Resource Estimate for East Avoca, IMC’s last drill programme focused on exploring the unmined, south-western extension of the Avoca Cu-Zn-Pb-Ag-Au deposit with encouraging positive results as reported previously.  IMC is scheduled to carry out a further series of trial pits in order to complete the geological model.   

The price of gold has been at its strongest in recent months, as demand for gold surges across the world.  Gold is playing its age-old role as a safe haven in times of high inflation and geopolitical uncertainty.    IMC again is very focused on its Avoca and North Wexford gold projects, in addition to its spoils and tailings project. 

IMC has just received approval for its Spring drilling programme from the Geoscience Regulation Office of the Department of Climate, Environment and Communications.  This is very positive news and allows IMC to continue with its drill programme on its North Wexford Gold project.

IMC’s successful collaboration with Trinity College Dublin, Ireland, continues and we will be announcing a full programme of work in the coming weeks. 

IMC previously announced that it had conditionally agreed to acquire MVI Ireland s.r.o., the 100% owner of the Assat company in Armenia which is the holder of the mining license for the Karaberd gold mine located in Lori Marz, northern Armenia. As reported to the market on 31st October 2022 the nature of the acquisition has changed and IMC, rather than acquiring a company possessed of a mining licence, is now acquiring the owner of an operating gold mine.  The conditional agreement remains in place and we expect to complete the acquisition in due course. 

This is an excellent time for gold, silver, copper and zinc with the current high commodity prices.  The Directors look forward to reporting further results from our exploration programme and on progress towards completion of the MVI Ireland s.r.o. acquisition.

Executive Chairman,
