IM Exploration Announces Results of 2019 Work Program at Mulloy Project

TORONTO, Jan. 28, 2020 /CNW/ - IM Exploration Inc. (CSE: IM) (the "Company") is pleased to announce the results of its initial exploration program at its Mulloy Graphite Project in Rowlandson Township, Ontario (the "Property").

As reported in the Company's news release dated December 4, 2019, the work at the Property consisted of 10 kilometres of preliminary line-cutting, followed by 9 kilometres of geophysical surveying, both magnetic and electromagnetic (HLEM). Exploration efforts were concentrated around a prospective target at the western boundary of the Property.

Exploration Program Results

Two conductors were identified from the November-to-December 2019 survey.

The first conductor ("Conductor A") is coincident with a strong magnetic high and is interpreted to be associated with a potential iron formation. In the vicinity of the Property, iron formations can be associated with base metal and gold mineralization. The conductor extends roughly east-west across the entire survey area (500 metres) and remains open at both ends.

The second conductor ("Conductor B") shows a slightly weaker response with no significant magnetic correlation. The lack of a magnetic response would suggest that Conductor B represents a graphite target. Conductor B runs parallel to Conductor A for approximately 200 metres and remains open to the west of the survey area.

Further exploratory sampling and drilling would be required before the Company can confirm these interpretations.

The maps below illustrate the results of the geophysical survey (Figure 1 and 2).

With these results now available, the Company's management and board of directors intend to undertake further planning with technical personnel to evaluate various means for most effectively advancing the Company's progress, both at the Property and at the corporate level.

The property is prospective for graphite mineralization, as historical drilling on the property by Shell Canada in 1978 intersected two roughly 20-metre intervals of graphite mineralization while exploring the property for gold and silver mineralization. Additionally, the Property is located 15 kilometres west of Zenyatta Ventures' Albany Graphite Deposit.
