North Vancouver, B.C. - International Millennium Mining Corp’s (“IMMC” or the “Company”) (TSX-V: IMI) announces that results of its 2008 mobile metal ion (MMI) soil geochemistry survey, as reported by David G. Mark P.Geo, of Geotronics Consulting Inc. the Company’s NI 43-101 qualified person in charge of the project, reveal a strong gold anomaly together with a significant copper anomaly on the Company’s Hope Lake gold property located southeast of Kenora, Ontario.
The survey, carried out between May and August 2008, was undertaken to determine the response of MMI to known gold mineralization at the Porphyry Lake Showing, which is one of three gold showings on the 109 claim unit property. The strongest and widest (100 meters) part of the anomaly occurs to the east of the Porphyry Lake Showing and reaches a high value of 57 ppb Au, which Mr. Mark describes as very high for an MMI gold value. This 100 meter wide zone may be reflecting one wide zone or up to three parallel zones of gold mineralization.
Other interesting features of the gold anomaly are that an additional parallel zone occurs immediately to the south and secondly, an arm of the anomaly strikes a minimum 1,000 meters to the west toward the Mushkasu Lake Showing. This may be the eastern extension of the Mushkasu Lake Showing. The copper anomaly occurs to the north of the main part of the principal anomaly and a nickel anomaly occurs to the south. Both, anomalies may be related to the gold mineralization.
The three gold showings on the Hope Lake property are the Grand Chibougamu, the Mushkasu Lake and the Porphyry Lake. All three are thought to occur within structurally controlled shear zones with intense carbonate alteration and silica flooding, as well as associated sulphide mineralization. The Hope Lake claims themselves lie within a wedge of Archean metavolcanic rocks that is located between the Atikwa and Dryberry granitic batholiths.
Further work is recommended, including a continuation of the MMI survey to the west to cover the Mushkasu Lake Showing and infill 50 meter MMI survey lines in the area of the main part of the principal anomaly. Induced polarization (IP) and resistivity surveys are recommended across the MMI anomalies in order to help determine depths and drill targets, to be followed by diamond drilling on the northern part of the principal anomaly with drill collars to be determined by the follow-up MMI and IP surveys. A complete copy of the report is available on IMMC’s web site (Hope Lake Property).
