Imperial Metals New Assay Results Expand Mount Polley Springer Zone

Imperial Metals Corporation (TSX:III) released new assay results confirming the copper/gold mineralization at Mount Polley extends at depths beyond the current bottom of the Phase 5 Springer pit in excess of 500 metres.

As quoted in the press release:

This current drilling confirms the copper/gold mineralization identified by historic drilling below the south end of the Springer Phase 5 pit extends to the north. The drill program revealed long intercepts of copper/gold mineralization which expand the known mineralization to depths in excess of 500 metres below the Springer Phase 5 pit design in the north end. All drill holes reported in this area intersected one or more significant intervals of Springer style copper/gold mineralization. The deep mineralization is strongly dominated by sulphide minerals with an average ratio of 12.68% oxide copper to total copper in the reported intervals.
