TIDMIMCP Chairman's Statement
Interim Financial Results
IMC Exploration Group PLC ('IMC') for the six months to 31st December 2016
Dear Shareholder, The directors of IMC Exploration Group plc are pleased to present the Interim Financial Results for ('IMC') for the six months to 31st December 2016. IMC recently announced the implementation of its works programme on its base metal licence area in the highly prospective south west of Ireland. This comprehensive exploration programme consists of geochemistry, geophysics and drilling. Since the opening of the Tynagh mine in Co. Galway, Ireland has become a significant producer of base metals, ranking third in Europe and fourteenth in the world for zinc. IMC holds licences close to the Tynagh mine. This is a very exciting time for IMC with its zinc properties. Zinc has tight supply fundamentals due to falling production, subdued discovery and increasing demand. The zinc price doubled in 2016. IMC in conjunction with its joint venture partner, Koza Limited, has carried out an extensive target generation, mapping and rock sampling programme on its gold mine river licence PL 3857 in Co. Wicklow and licence PL 2551 in Co. Wexford. This work is in addition to the previous drilling programme and is part of the works programme for our five precious metal licence areas. This is preparatory work for the next phase of our fully funded drilling programme. The Geological Survey of Ireland's (GSI) Tellus survey confirms high levels of gold in the streams near the Goldmines River and Avoca regions of Wicklow. These areas are included in our JV licences areas. IMC continues to make progress on all its activities: implementing its base metal works programme in South West Ireland, as well as continuing progress on our licence areas in Wicklow and Wexford under the IMC/Koza joint venture agreement.
