Toronto, Ontario, December 10, 2020 – IM Exploration Inc. (CSE: IM) (the “Company”) is pleased to provide an exploration update with respect to its Mulloy Project in Rowlandson Township, Ontario (the “Property”).
The Company has staked a total of 104 cells adjoining the Property , covering approximately 3,760 hectares (the “Expansion Claims”).
Expansion Claims
The Expansion Claims cover the most significant anomalies and targets in the historical Auden Property, which was owned by GTA Resources and Mining Inc. until 2018. The Auden Property covered a 60 kilometre (km) strike length of an Archean greenstone belt, a volcano-sedimentary belt, which is a continuation of the Beardmore-Geraldton Greenstone Belt, located about 140 km to the west. The Expansion Claims cover a highly prospective 24 km extent of this geological trend. (1)
The Expansion Claims cover several zones of historical exploration holes drilled from 1978 to 2014, including:
-
- Hole 78-04, drilled by Shell in 1978, intersected 0.67 grams per ton (g/t) of gold (Au) over 16.9 metres (m) from an arsenopyrite-pyrrhotite rich iron formation. (1)
- Hole CA-14-05 intersected 0.18g/t PGE + Au and 0.14% Cu over 19.65 m in an ultramafic, sulphide-rich zone. (1)

An in-depth data compilation and analysis will be completed on the Property and the Expansion Claims in the coming weeks. This data compilation will be subject to subsequent analysis by the Company’s technical consultants to define targets for potential 2021 exploration efforts at the Property.
Joel Freudman, President and CEO of the Company, commented: “We are pleased to have staked the Expansion Claims, which add gold and other mineral prospects to the Property for added exploration potential at minimal incremental cost. In addition, the regional data compilation currently underway is a practical, cost-effective choice during a period of COVID-19 restrictions and precautions. The results will further our understanding of how best to advance the newly-expanded Property, while at the same time this work will not put any personnel at risk, cause any environmental disturbances, or interfere with First Nations activities on or around the Property.”

Note that drill hole results are select samples and are not necessarily representative of overall mineralization on the Expansion Claims. Readers are cautioned that these potential grades are conceptual in nature; there has been insufficient exploration by the Company or its qualified person on the Expansion Claims to define a mineral resource or mineral reserve; and it is uncertain whether further exploration will result in these targets being delineated as a mineral resource or mineral reserve.
