INTERIM RESULTS FOR THE PERIOD 1ST JULY 2020 TO 31ST DECEMBER 2020
IMC Exploration Group Public Limited Company
Chairman’s Statement for the period 1st July 2020 to 31st December 2020
The Directors of IMC Exploration Group plc are pleased to present the unaudited, consolidated interim financial results for IMC for the first six months to 31st December 2020 of the current financial year.
The six months under review were a busy and exciting time for IMC. On 7th September 2020, I was able to announce that the Company had raised £267,500 before transaction expenses by means of a placing of 26,750.000 new ordinary shares.
With our spoils and tailings project in Co. Wicklow, our on-going collaboration with Trinity College Dublin, Ireland and our appraisal drilling on our North Wexford Gold Project, we continue to make significant progress.
Trial pits were excavated proving greater depths and densities than expected at West Avoca, indicating the presence of a larger tonnage of spoils and tailings than had originally been estimated in the CSA Global Report of 2019. The gold assays from the trial pits, combined with the expected increase in tonnage, imply that the existing gold Exploration Target at West Avoca is likely to have been underestimated. Significantly elevated copper, lead and silver grades are also present.
We continue to work closely with our collaborative partners, Trinity College Dublin, on a number of developments including clarifying and understanding the paragenesis of gold at IMC’s Avoca VMS deposit.
The last six months have been extremely productive and positive for IMC and we are confident that the balance of the current financial year will bring further progress for the benefit of shareholders.
Post- Balance Sheet Developments
The preliminary drilling information from our recent drilling on our North Wexford Gold Project, updates on which were issued to the market on 28th January and 23rd February 2021, reinforces the highly prospective geology and supports IMC’s strategy of understanding the gold mineralisation with the objective of establishing another gold resource. In addition, IMC is commissioning an update of the existing West Avoca Exploration Target with the objective of upgrading this to an Inferred Resource.
I look forward to being able to report further news on our spoils and tailings project at Avoca, Co. Wicklow and on our North Wexford gold project over the coming weeks and months.
