International Minerals Discovers New High-Grade Silver-Gold Mineralization at Pallancata Property, Peru
SCOTTSDALE, ARIZONA, Mar 3, 2004 (CCNMatthews via COMTEX) --
International Minerals Corporation ("IMC") has discovered a new high-grade silver-gold vein (the "Mariana Vein") at its 100%-held Pallancata property, located approximately 500km south-east of Lima, Peru. The discovery was made by IMC during ongoing exploration activity in the vicinity of the Pallancata Vein, where IMC`s initial drill program of 17 core holes (totaling approximately 2,500m) intersected high-grade silver-gold mineralization (see news release dated September 19, 2003 for details).
The Mariana Vein is located approximately 800m to the north of the western extremity of the Pallancata Vein. Discovered beneath loose surface cover, it has been traced over an approximate east-west strike length of 350m and there are indications that the vein may continue further to the east. Historical underground workings, including shafts and stopes (or worked areas) dating back to the colonial period were excavated and over 800 tonnes of debris were removed by hand by IMC to facilitate sampling of the workings.
A total of 53 channel samples taken from the accessible workings on the Mariana Vein over the strike length of 350 m averaged 802 g/t silver (23.4 oz/st) and 2.7 g/t gold with values ranging from 72 to 8,240 g/t (240 oz/st) silver and 0.3 to 26.7 g/t gold. Estimated true widths range from 0.30m to 1.20m with an average true width of 0.64m. The highest single value obtained was reported from a sample taken at the bottom of one of the old shafts, which assayed 8,240 g/t silver and 26.7 g/t gold with a sampled vein width of 0.60 m. One sample, which extended 0.9m into the wall rock adjacent to this sample, assayed 362 g/t silver and 0.9 g/t gold.
An offshoot vein on the eastern extremity of the Mariana Vein (referred to as the "Mariana Split") was traced over a distance of 80m and is still open. Eleven channel samples taken from the 80m of known strike extent range from 3 to 972 g/t silver and 0.3 to 2.7 g/t gold with an average grade of 409 g/t (11.9 oz/st) silver and 1.2 g/t gold. Estimated true widths range from 0.25m to 0.60m with an average true width of 0.40m. In addition, a group of old workings was located 500m to the north-east along the projected strike direction of the Mariana Split and follow-up sampling by IMC will resume toward the end of March.
Management considers the discovery of these new high-grade mineralized zones, in places having "bonanza" silver grades, to be very encouraging in terms of expanding the overall potential of the Pallancata project. Follow-up work will continue on these and other targets, including the Ranichico area located 2 km to the north of the Mariana Vein, where seven initial surface rock chip samples and one dump sample reported assay values ranging from 4 to 377 g/t silver and 0.0 to 3.8 g/t gold.
IMC is currently planning (with an expected start date in May/June) an approximate 4,000m core drill and underground exploration program on the Pallancata Vein to further define the high-grade shoots (which in places contain "bonanza" silver grades) that were identified in the initial 2,500m drill program conducted last year by IMC. Additional drill meterage will be used to test the Mariana Vein and Ranichico areas discussed above.
Sample preparation and analytical work was carried out at the ALS Chemex laboratory in Lima, Peru using standard industry practices and conventional fire assay methods for gold and silver. The exploration program was conducted under the supervision of IMC`s Qualified Person and Exploration Manager, Mr. John Sutcliffe.

International Minerals Reports High-Grade Gold Intersections from Feasibility Study Drill Program at Rio Blanco Project, Ecuador
SCOTTSDALE, ARIZONA, Mar 8, 2004 (CCNMatthews via COMTEX) --
International Minerals Corporation ("IMC") has received assay results from the first twenty core drill holes totaling 2,729m that form part of an on-going feasibility study for the high-grade Alejandra North Zone within IMC`s Rio Blanco epithermal gold-silver project located in southern Ecuador.
In an October 14, 2003 news release, IMC announced a positive scoping study with strong economics (over 50% pretax IRR at US$350/oz gold and US$5/oz silver) for this high-grade zone based on an inferred resource estimate of approximately 744,000 tonnes at an average grade of 18.3 g/t gold and 146 g/t silver, containing 438,000 gold ounces and 3.5 million silver ounces. The Alejandra North Zone is only one of multiple targets located on IMC`s property.
A total of 54 drill holes (totaling approximately 10,000m) are planned in the current program, which together with previous drilling by IMC, is designed to produce drill intersections with an approximate spacing of 30m for reserve/resource calculations in the feasibility study. In addition, approximately 120m of underground exploration is underway to complement this drill program.
The Alejandra North Zone contains a vein-breccia structure with a drill-tested east-west strike length of approximately 500m, which is still open to the east. The structure ranges in width from less than 1.0m up to 30m and averages approximately 6m. Gold-silver mineralization extends from surface to a depth of 300m.
Notable intersection values from the current drill program with estimated true widths include: 3.8m at 34.5 g/t gold and 171 g/t silver in hole BC-73; 5.1m at 29.4 g/t gold and 202 g/t silver (including 1.9m at 63.2 g/t gold and 449 g/t silver) in BC-79; 1.3m at 21.5 g/t gold and 243 g/t silver in BC-82; 0.3m at 183 g/t gold and 1,110 g/t silver in BC-85; 9.7m at 25.8 g/t gold and 140g/t silver (including 6.7m at 34.0 g/t gold and169 g/t silver) in BC-87; and 0.5m at 133.5 g/t gold and 1,410 g/t silver in BC-90.
Of particular interest, are the well-mineralized intersections within other veins in the hanging wall and footwall of the main mineralized structure. Intercepts with estimated true widths include BC-72 with 4.5m at 14.5 g/t gold in a hanging wall vein and 1.3m at 7.9 g/t gold in a footwall vein. Such veins have the potential to add ounces to the existing resource base at Rio Blanco if their continuity can be established by drilling.
Assay results (at a nominal 1 g/t gold cut-off) are summarized in the table below and drill hole locations are shown on the attached long-section in the plane of the vein. "HW" and "FW" refer to the hanging and footwall zones veins described above. All assay values are uncut.

Drilling was carried out by Paragon Drilling Ecuador S.A. (under the supervision of a Canadian drilling consultant) and Kluane International Drilling Inc., of Vancouver, Canada. Sample preparation was carried out at the ALS Chemex laboratory in Quito, Ecuador using standard industry practices and analytical work was carried out at the ALS Chemex laboratory in Vancouver, Canada using screen fire assay for expected high grade zones and conventional fire assay methods for gold and silver for all other zones. For quality control purposes, analytical standards with known metal values were included with IMC`s samples and show acceptable reproducibility. Duplicate analyses on selected samples will be carried out by Acme Geochemical Inc. (Vancouver). The overall exploration program is being conducted under the supervision of IMC`s Qualified Person and Exploration Manager, Mr. John Sutcliffe.
The overall feasibility study for the Alejandra North Zone is being conducted under the supervision of independent consultants Micon International Ltd of Toronto, Canada. Water Management Consultants of Santiago, Chile will undertake the Environmental Impact Assessment ("EIA") and metallurgical test work will be undertaken by McClelland Laboratories, Inc, in Reno, Nevada, USA. The final feasibility study and permitting is expected to be completed by the summer of 2005.
Additional Exploration Plans
The Alejandra North vein-breccia structure, although it is the most advanced target within the overall Rio Blanco project area, is only one of multiple gold-silver exploration targets. On completion of the current feasibility drill program in May, IMC plans to commence follow-up exploration drill programs on these other targets. This drilling is expected to take two months to complete and will be financed from existing funds.
- East of the current drilling program area: the highest priority exploration area, to test for possible concealed mineralization along strike with the main Alejandra North vein-breccia structure.
- Dorada Zone: located approximately 1km to the south-south-west of the Alejandra North structure, where a recently completed adit (tunnel) intersected a faulted vein zone approximately 3.5m in true width from which tunnel-round samples gave an average gold grade of 91.9 g/t with 200 g/t silver. Drill results in a 1999 program reported a high-grade vein intercept in drill hole BC-37 of 1.41m with 90.8 g/t gold and 643 g/t silver. Future drilling in this area will focus on the search for additional high-grade mineralization.
- Orquidea Zone: located approximately 500m to the south of the Alejandra North structure, where four chip samples from the poorly-exposed Orquidea vein gave an average of 163 g/t gold and 1,948 g/t silver with an estimated true width of 0.8m. Management believe that the 6 diamond drill holes completed on this target to date (see News Release dated December 11, 2002) did not adequately test this high grade vein due to the erratic nature of the mineralization and poor core recovery. In addition to further drilling, a short adit is planned to further test this target.
- Lourdes Zone: located approximately 1km to the south-west of the Alejandra North structure, where rock chip samples taken over a 4m-wide vein/stockwork averaged 6.8 g/t gold and 10 g/t silver.
- Bolivar Zone: located 600m to the north of the Alejandra North structure, where preliminary rock chip sampling yielded results ranging from 14.1 to 34.9 g/t gold and from 67 to 105 g/t silver in a series of veinlets ranging in width from 15 to 20 cm.

Drilling was carried out by Paragon Drilling Ecuador S.A. (under the supervision of a Canadian drilling consultant) and Kluane International Drilling Inc., of Vancouver, Canada. Sample preparation was carried out at the ALS Chemex laboratory in Quito, Ecuador using standard industry practices and analytical work was carried out at the ALS Chemex laboratory in Vancouver, Canada using screen fire assay for expected high grade zones and conventional fire assay methods for gold and silver for all other zones. For quality control purposes, analytical standards with known metal values were included with IMC`s samples and show acceptable reproducibility. Duplicate analyses on selected samples will be carried out by Acme Geochemical Inc. (Vancouver). The overall exploration program is being conducted under the supervision of IMC`s Qualified Person and Exploration Manager, Mr. John Sutcliffe.
The overall feasibility study for the Alejandra North Zone is being conducted under the supervision of independent consultants Micon International Ltd of Toronto, Canada. Water Management Consultants of Santiago, Chile will undertake the Environmental Impact Assessment ("EIA") and metallurgical test work will be undertaken by McClelland Laboratories, Inc, in Reno, Nevada, USA. The final feasibility study and permitting is expected to be completed by the summer of 2005.
Additional Exploration Plans
The Alejandra North vein-breccia structure, although it is the most advanced target within the overall Rio Blanco project area, is only one of multiple gold-silver exploration targets. On completion of the current feasibility drill program in May, IMC plans to commence follow-up exploration drill programs on these other targets. This drilling is expected to take two months to complete and will be financed from existing funds.
- East of the current drilling program area: the highest priority exploration area, to test for possible concealed mineralization along strike with the main Alejandra North vein-breccia structure.
- Dorada Zone: located approximately 1km to the south-south-west of the Alejandra North structure, where a recently completed adit (tunnel) intersected a faulted vein zone approximately 3.5m in true width from which tunnel-round samples gave an average gold grade of 91.9 g/t with 200 g/t silver. Drill results in a 1999 program reported a high-grade vein intercept in drill hole BC-37 of 1.41m with 90.8 g/t gold and 643 g/t silver. Future drilling in this area will focus on the search for additional high-grade mineralization.
- Orquidea Zone: located approximately 500m to the south of the Alejandra North structure, where four chip samples from the poorly-exposed Orquidea vein gave an average of 163 g/t gold and 1,948 g/t silver with an estimated true width of 0.8m. Management believe that the 6 diamond drill holes completed on this target to date (see News Release dated December 11, 2002) did not adequately test this high grade vein due to the erratic nature of the mineralization and poor core recovery. In addition to further drilling, a short adit is planned to further test this target.
- Lourdes Zone: located approximately 1km to the south-west of the Alejandra North structure, where rock chip samples taken over a 4m-wide vein/stockwork averaged 6.8 g/t gold and 10 g/t silver.
- Bolivar Zone: located 600m to the north of the Alejandra North structure, where preliminary rock chip sampling yielded results ranging from 14.1 to 34.9 g/t gold and from 67 to 105 g/t silver in a series of veinlets ranging in width from 15 to 20 cm.

International Minerals Reports More High-Grade Gold Intersections From Feasibility Study Drill Program At Rio Blanco Project, Ecuador
VANCOUVER, BRITISH COLUMBIA, Apr 7, 2004 (CCNMatthews via COMTEX) --
International Minerals Corporation ("IMC") has received assay results from an additional twelve core drill holes totaling 1,851m that form part of the on-going feasibility study on the high-grade Alejandra Vein at IMC`s Rio Blanco epithermal gold-silver project located in southern Ecuador. Results from the first twenty core drill holes (totaling 2,729m) were previously reported in a March 8, 2004 news release.
High-grade intercepts (which commonly are contained within much wider mineralized zones) from these latest twelve drill-holes include: 2.1m at 27.4 g/t gold and 116 g/t silver and 0.7m at 99.1g/t gold and 577 g/t silver in hole BC-94; 7.4m at 25.2 g/t gold and 51g/t silver (including 0.4m at 360.0 g/t gold and 656 g/t silver) in BC-95; 0.8m at 44.2 g/t gold and 275 g/t silver in BC-98; 5.2m at 32.5 g/t gold and 376 g/t silver (including 1.7m at 89.9 g/t gold and 713 g/t silver, which also includes 0.5m at 223 g/t gold/1,735 g/t silver) in BC-104. The above intercepts are estimated true widths of the mineralized zones.
Assay results (at a nominal 1 g/t gold cut-off) are summarized in the table below and drill hole locations are shown on the attached longitudinal-section in the plane of the vein. All assay values are uncut.

The Alejandra Vein is a complex, continuous vein-breccia structure with a drill-tested east-west strike length of approximately 500m, which remains to be drill-tested to the east. The structure ranges in width from less than 1.0m up to 30m (with an average of approximately 6m) and gold-silver mineralization extends from surface to a depth of 300m. In an October 14, 2003 news release, IMC announced a positive independent scoping study (or "preliminary assessment" under the rules of National Instrument 43-101) carried out by Buenaventura Engineering ("BISA") that indicated strong economics (over 50% pretax IRR at base case metal prices of US$350/oz gold and US$5/oz silver) for this high-grade zone based on an inferred resource estimate of approximately 744,000 tonnes at an average grade of 18.3 g/t gold and 146 g/t silver, containing 438,000 gold ounces and 3.5 million silver ounces.
Although the Alejandra Vein is the most advanced target within the overall Rio Blanco project area, it is only one of multiple gold-silver exploration targets within IMC`s property position. For example, in the Dorada Zone located approximately 1km to the SSW of the Alejandra North structure, a recently completed 48m long adit (tunnel) intersected a faulted vein zone, approximately 3.5m in true width, from which five tunnel-round samples gave an average gold grade of 91.9 g/t and 200 g/t silver. Drill results in this area from a 1999 IMC program reported a high-grade vein intercept in drill hole BC-37 of 1.41m with a grade of 90.8 g/t gold and 643 g/t silver. Future drilling in this area will focus on the search for additional high-grade mineralization.
An expanded program of approximately 60 drill holes (totaling 11,500m) is now planned by IMC for the Alejandra Vein, which combined with drilling from previous programs, is designed to produce drill intersections with an approximate spacing of 30m for reserve/resource calculations in the feasibility study. In addition, approximately 120m of underground exploration has been completed by IMC to complement the ongoing drill program.
Drilling to date has been carried out by Paragon Drilling Ecuador S.A. (under the supervision of a Canadian drilling consultant) and Kluane International Drilling Inc., of Vancouver, Canada. Sample preparation was carried out at the ALS Chemex laboratory in Quito, Ecuador using standard industry practices. Analytical work was carried out at the ALS Chemex laboratory in Vancouver, Canada using screen fire assay for expected high grade zones and conventional fire assay methods for gold and silver for all other zones. For quality control purposes, analytical standards with known metal values were included with IMC`s samples and show excellent reproducibility. Duplicate analyses on selected samples were undertaken by Acme Geochemical Inc. in Vancouver. Acme`s results for the higher-grade samples (greater than 10 g/t gold) are significantly higher than ALS Chemex`s original results and a third independent laboratory, Chris Christopherson, Inc. of Kellogg, Idaho has been contracted to re-assay the original samples. Results are expected in about three weeks.
The drill program is conducted under the supervision of IMC`s Qualified Person and Exploration Manager, Mr. John Sutcliffe and the overall feasibility study (which is expected to be completed in the fourth quarter of 2004) is being conducted under the supervision of independent consultants Micon International Ltd of Toronto, Canada. Water Management Consultants of Santiago, Chile are undertaking the Environmental Impact Assessment ("EIA") and metallurgical test work is being carried out by McClelland Laboratories, Inc in Sparks, Nevada, USA.

International Minerals Reports New Drill Results From Feasibility Study Definition Drill Program At Rio Blanco Project, Ecuador
SCOTTSDALE, ARIZONA, May 27, 2004 (CCNMatthews via COMTEX) --
International Minerals Corporation ("IMC") has received assay results from an additional seventeen in-fill and definition core drill holes totaling 3,361m that form part of the on-going feasibility study on the high-grade Alejandra Vein at IMC`s Rio Blanco epithermal gold-silver project located in southern Ecuador. Results from the first 32 drill holes (totaling 4,580m) were previously reported in news releases dated March 8 and April 7, 2004. To date results have been received for 49 drill holes totaling 7,941m. Sample preparation and analyses for samples from a further six drill holes are in progress.
High-grade intercepts (which commonly are contained within much wider mineralized zones) from these latest seventeen drill-holes include: 17.1m at 7.8 g/t gold and 48 g/t silver (including 1.6m at 57.9 g/t gold and 219 g/t silver) in BC-107; 1.2m at 30.5 g/t gold and 272 g/t silver in BC-111; 3.3m at 36.2 g/t gold and 267 g/t silver (including 1.9m at 61.6 g/t gold and 448 g/t silver) in BC-113; 21.2m at 6.3 g/t gold and 37 g/t silver (including 5.1m at 15.2g/t gold and 68 g/t silver and 1.0m at 53.4 g/t gold and 142 g/t silver) in BC-116; 19.0m at 8.0 g/t gold and 57 g/t silver (including 1.6m at 39.7 g/t gold and 277 g/t silver) in BC-119; 36.2m at 6.6 g/t gold and 57 g/t silver (including 5.1m at 28.8 g/t gold and 259 g/t silver) in BC-120; 23.3m at 12.4 g/t gold and 94 g/t silver (including 5.5m at 22.3 g/t gold and 203 g/t silver and 3.3m at 30.6 g/t gold and 194 g/t silver) in BC-122. The above intercepts are estimated true widths of the mineralized zones and all assay values are uncut.
The high-grade intervals in drill holes BC 113 and 122 are considered by IMZ management to be significant in that they represent newly-identified zones of "bonanza" grade mineralization where such zones were not previously predicted, especially in the case of BC 113 which was drilled primarily to try to define the lower margin of the mineralized zone.
Assay results at a nominal 1 g/t gold cut-off for the longer intercepts and 5 g/t gold for the shorter, higher grade intercepts are summarized in the table below and drill hole locations (mid-points of mineralized intervals) are shown on the attached longitudinal-section in the plane of the vein. All assay values are uncut.

The Alejandra Vein is a complex vein-breccia structure with a drill-tested east-west strike length of approximately 500m, which remains to be drill-tested to the east. The structure ranges in width from less than 1.0m up to 30m (with an average of approximately 6m) and gold-silver mineralization extends from surface to a depth of about 300m. In an October 14, 2003 news release, IMC announced a positive preliminary assessment study (under the rules of National Instrument 43-101) carried out by Buenaventura Engineering ("BISA"). The study indicated strong economics (over 50% pretax IRR at base case metal prices of US$350/oz gold and US$5/oz silver) for this high-grade zone based on an inferred resource estimate of approximately 744,000 tonnes at an average grade of 18 g/t gold and 146 g/t silver, containing 438,000 gold ounces and 3.5 million silver ounces.
The current expanded definition drill program of approximately 60 drill holes (totaling 12,000m, of which approximately 11,000m in 55 drill holes have been completed to date) is scheduled for completion in June and, combined with drilling from previous programs, is designed to produce drill intersections for the Alejandra Vein with an approximate spacing of 30m for reserve/resource calculations in the feasibility study. In addition, approximately 120m of underground exploration have been completed by IMC to complement the ongoing drill program.
Drilling to date has been carried out principally by Paragon Drilling Ecuador S.A. (under the supervision of a Canadian drilling consultant) and partially by Kluane International Drilling Inc., of Vancouver, Canada. Currently, Paragon is the sole drill contractor. Sample preparation was carried out at the ALS Chemex laboratory in Quito, Ecuador using standard industry practices. Analytical work was carried out at the ALS Chemex laboratory in Vancouver, Canada using screen fire assay for expected high grade zones and conventional fire assay methods for gold and silver for all other zones.
For quality control purposes, analytical standards with known metal values were included with IMC`s samples and show excellent reproducibility. Duplicate analyses on selected samples were originally undertaken by Acme Geochemical Inc. in Vancouver. Acme`s results, however, for higher-grade samples (greater than 10 g/t gold and greater than 30g/t silver) were found to be significantly higher than ALS Chemex`s original results. Following re-analysis of the same duplicate samples by an independent, umpire laboratory (Chris Christopherson, Inc. ("CCI") of Kellogg, Idaho) IMC has established that a higher level of accuracy and precision exists for the ALS Chemex analyses compared to Acme. As a result, IMC will utilize CCI for future duplicate analyses at Rio Blanco.
The drill program is conducted under the supervision of IMC`s Qualified Person and Exploration Manager, Mr. John Sutcliffe and the overall feasibility study (which is expected to be completed in early 2005) is being conducted under the supervision of independent consultants Micon International Ltd of Toronto, Canada. Water Management Consultants of Santiago, Chile are undertaking the Environmental Impact Assessment ("EIA") and metallurgical test work is being carried out by McClelland Laboratories, Inc. in Sparks, Nevada, USA.

International Minerals Reports New Drill Results From Feasibility Study Definition Drill Program At Rio Blanco Project, Ecuador
SCOTTSDALE, ARIZONA, May 27, 2004 (CCNMatthews via COMTEX) --
International Minerals Corporation ("IMC") has received assay results from an additional seventeen in-fill and definition core drill holes totaling 3,361m that form part of the on-going feasibility study on the high-grade Alejandra Vein at IMC`s Rio Blanco epithermal gold-silver project located in southern Ecuador. Results from the first 32 drill holes (totaling 4,580m) were previously reported in news releases dated March 8 and April 7, 2004. To date results have been received for 49 drill holes totaling 7,941m. Sample preparation and analyses for samples from a further six drill holes are in progress.
High-grade intercepts (which commonly are contained within much wider mineralized zones) from these latest seventeen drill-holes include: 17.1m at 7.8 g/t gold and 48 g/t silver (including 1.6m at 57.9 g/t gold and 219 g/t silver) in BC-107; 1.2m at 30.5 g/t gold and 272 g/t silver in BC-111; 3.3m at 36.2 g/t gold and 267 g/t silver (including 1.9m at 61.6 g/t gold and 448 g/t silver) in BC-113; 21.2m at 6.3 g/t gold and 37 g/t silver (including 5.1m at 15.2g/t gold and 68 g/t silver and 1.0m at 53.4 g/t gold and 142 g/t silver) in BC-116; 19.0m at 8.0 g/t gold and 57 g/t silver (including 1.6m at 39.7 g/t gold and 277 g/t silver) in BC-119; 36.2m at 6.6 g/t gold and 57 g/t silver (including 5.1m at 28.8 g/t gold and 259 g/t silver) in BC-120; 23.3m at 12.4 g/t gold and 94 g/t silver (including 5.5m at 22.3 g/t gold and 203 g/t silver and 3.3m at 30.6 g/t gold and 194 g/t silver) in BC-122. The above intercepts are estimated true widths of the mineralized zones and all assay values are uncut.
The high-grade intervals in drill holes BC 113 and 122 are considered by IMZ management to be significant in that they represent newly-identified zones of "bonanza" grade mineralization where such zones were not previously predicted, especially in the case of BC 113 which was drilled primarily to try to define the lower margin of the mineralized zone.
Assay results at a nominal 1 g/t gold cut-off for the longer intercepts and 5 g/t gold for the shorter, higher grade intercepts are summarized in the table below and drill hole locations (mid-points of mineralized intervals) are shown on the attached longitudinal-section in the plane of the vein. All assay values are uncut.

Soo moderat scheinen mir die Verluste bei IMZ ja nicht zu sein. Ich habe die vor 2 Monaten nach euren Jubelgesängen in diesem thread in Frankfurt für 3,00 Euro gekauft, und vor ein paar Tagen waren sie auf 2,20 runter. Haben sich zwar inzwischen wieder etwas aufgerappelt, aber das konnten andere genauso gut!

Sie läuft mit Gold zur Zeit. Bohrergebnisse von Rio Blanco werden sicherlich bald wieder kommen. Die achbarkeitsstudie dürfte bis Ende des Jahres fertig sein. Zyklisch gesehen läuft Gold ab August oder September in einen Bullenmarkt, der bis Ferbuar anhalten dürfte. IMZ kann man zu diesne Preisen jederzeit nachkaufen!

IMC`s expanded drill program of approximately 60 drill holes totaling 12,000m that was originally scheduled for completion in July has again been expanded by an additional program of 3,000m in 13 drill holes. This program of additional in-fill and definition drilling is necessary because of the newly-identified zone of "bonanza" grade mineralization previously reported in drill holes BC-120 (5.1m at 28.8 g/t gold and 259 g/t silver) and BC-122 (5.5m at 22.3 g/t gold and 203 g/t silver plus 3.3m at 30.0 g/t gold and 194 g/t silver). In this same zone, new drill hole BC-124 intersected 6.5m at 28.6 g/t gold and 161 g/t silver and new drill hole BC-126 cut 0.9m at 14.8 g/t gold and 87 g/t silver. In addition to the high-grade intercepts, both BC-124 and BC-126 intersected relatively wide intervals of lower-grade mineralization (26.8m at 1.1 g/t gold and 35m at 1.8 g/t gold respectively) which may have open-pittable potential in an area not previously considered by IMC. Likewise, in the same area, BC-120 and BC-122 contain similar mineralized widths but with much higher grades (36.2m at 6.6 g/t and 23.3m at 12.4 g/t respectively - see news release May 27, 2004).
Combined with drilling from IMC`s previous programs, the overall drill program is designed to produce drill intersections for the Alejandra Vein with an approximate spacing of 30-40m for reserve/resource calculations. The scheduled drilling completion date is now estimated to be in late August/early September. A third drill machine is being sought by IMC to expedite completion of the current drill program. The final feasibility study, together with permitting, is now expected to be completed in late summer 2005.
The Alejandra Vein is a complex vein-breccia structure with a drill-tested east-west strike length of approximately 500m, which remains to be drill-tested to the east. The structure ranges in width from less than 1.0m up to 30m (with an average of approximately 6m) and gold-silver mineralization extends from surface to a depth of about 300m. In an October 14, 2003 news release, IMC announced a positive preliminary assessment study (under the rules of National Instrument 43-101) carried out by Buenaventura Engineering ("BISA"). The study indicated strong economics (over 50% pretax IRR at base case metal prices of US$350/oz gold and US$5/oz silver) for this high-grade zone based on an inferred resource estimate of approximately 744,000 tonnes at an average grade of 18 g/t gold and 146 g/t silver, containing 438,000 gold ounces and 3.5 million silver ounces.
Canicapa Property, Ecuador
At the Canicapa gold-silver property in southern Ecuador, IMC has been notified by IAMGOLD Corporation ("IAMGOLD") that based on the results of the drilling program carried out in February/March, 2004, IAMGOLD has terminated its interest in the Canicapa project. IAMGOLD (together with their partner Gold Fields Chile, Ltda ("Gold Fields")) completed 14 reverse circulation drill holes totaling 2,966m. Most of these drill holes intersected "vuggy silica," which is a potential host for gold mineralization in these types of (high sulfidation) deposits. Anomalous gold grades were intersected in several drill holes but the only significant mineralized interval was 74m at 0.34 g/t gold in drill hole CRC 10. IAMGOLD and Gold Fields have also recently terminated their regional joint venture (the "Condor J.V.") in Ecuador.
IMC will review the technical data generated by the IAMGOLD drill program to evaluate potential future exploration activities, if any, on the Canicapa project by IMC. The property is held by IMC under the terms of an option agreement with the underlying property owner, with minimal annual holding costs.

International Minerals Reports Additional Drill Results from Feasibility Study Drill Program at Rio Blanco Project, Ecuador
SCOTTSDALE, ARIZONA, Jul 14, 2004 (CCNMatthews via COMTEX) --
International Minerals Corporation ("IMC") has received assay results from an additional eight in-fill and definition core drill holes totaling 2,453m that form part of the on-going feasibility study on the high-grade Alejandra Vein at IMC`s Rio Blanco epithermal gold-silver project located in southern Ecuador. Results from the first 49 drill holes (totaling 7,941m) were previously reported in news releases dated March 8, April 7 and May 27, 2004. To date results have been received from a total of 57 drill holes totaling 10,396m. A total of 61 drill holes totaling 11,179m have been completed to date.
High-grade intercepts (which commonly are contained within much wider mineralized zones) from these latest eight drill-holes include: 3.2m at 12.3 g/t gold and 47 g/t silver in BC-123; 6.5m at 28.6 g/t gold and 161 g/t silver (including 1.0m at 111.0 g/t gold and 757 g/t silver) in BC-124; 1.1m at 18.4 g/t gold and 98 g/t silver in BC-125. The above intercepts are estimated true widths of the mineralized zones and all assay values are uncut.
Assay results at a nominal 1 g/t gold cut-off for the longer intercepts and 5 g/t gold for the shorter, higher grade intercepts are summarized in the table below and drill hole locations (mid-points of mineralized intervals) are shown on the attached longitudinal-section in the plane of the vein.

meine meinung :
an den aussichten hat sich nichts geändert , die qualität der ergebnisse und somit der projekte ist sehr vielversprechend.
der situation am markt hat auch bei imz seine spuren hinterlassen.
wenn man imz mal mit anderen werten vergleicht , die ähnlich aussichtsreiche projekte haben ist der kursverfall sogar noch recht bescheiden !
das hoch war bei ca 5 , und jetzt taumelt sie um 4 !!!
das allein ist noch nicht besorgniserregend !
und sonst ist nichts negatives zu sagen !

International Minerals Reports More Drill Results and Completes Feasibility Drill Program at Rio Blanco Project, Ecuador
SCOTTSDALE, ARIZONA, Nov 11, 2004 (CCNMatthews via COMTEX) --
International Minerals Corporation ("IMC") (TSX:IMZ)(SWX:IMZ)(FWB:MIW) has received assay results from the final eleven definition core drill holes (totaling 2,235m) that will be used in IMC`s resource/reserve calculations for the ongoing feasibility study at the high-grade Alejandra Vein at the Rio Blanco epithermal gold-silver project located in southern Ecuador. Results from the first 67 drill holes (totaling 12,668m) were previously reported by IMC this year in news releases dated March 8, April 7, May 27, July 14 and September 2. A total of 79 drill holes (14,970m) have been completed by IMC in this in-fill and definition drill program.
Combined with drilling from IMC`s previous drill programs (41 core holes totaling 6,622m) the overall feasibility drill program for the Alejandra Vein of 120 drill holes (approximately 21,600m) has produced relatively closely spaced drill intersections of 20-40m for IMC`s resource/reserve calculations. These calculations are in progress and will be published in the coming weeks. The final feasibility study, together with environmental and production permitting, is scheduled for completion in the summer of 2005 with production then estimated in the fall of 2006, subject to financing.
Currently one drill machine continues in operation on the property for condemnation/sterilization drilling on ground intended for the construction of plant and facility sites and also to explore for other potential high-grade mineralized zones along strike of, and at depth below, the known Alejandra Vein. In addition, other known mineralized areas previously identified by IMC will be drill-tested, including Dorada, Alejandra South, Arco Iris, Loma Larga and San Luis.
High-grade intercepts (which commonly are contained within wider mineralized zones) from the eleven drill-holes include: BC-142 with 8.3m of 23.6 g/t gold and 154 g/t silver; BC-144 with 6.0m at 10.2 g/t gold and 71 g/t silver (including 1.4m at 38.2 g/t gold and 241 g/t silver; BC-150 with 0.7m at 30.3 g/t gold and 172 g/t silver. The above intercepts are estimated true widths of the mineralized zones and all assay values are uncut.
Assay results at a nominal 1 g/t gold cut-off for the longer intercepts and 5 g/t gold for the shorter, higher grade intercepts are summarized in the table below and drill hole locations (mid-points of mineralized intervals) are shown on the attached longitudinal-section in the plane of the vein.

Drilling to date has been carried out primarily by Paragon Drilling Ecuador S.A. (under the supervision of a Canadian drilling consultant) and partially by Kluane International Drilling Inc., of Vancouver, Canada. Currently, Paragon is the sole drill contractor. Sample preparation was carried out at the ALS Chemex laboratory in Quito, Ecuador using standard industry practices. Analytical work was carried out at the ALS Chemex laboratory in Vancouver, Canada using screen fire assay for expected high-grade zones and conventional fire assay methods for gold and silver for all other zones. For quality control purposes, analytical standards with known metal values were included with IMC`s samples and show excellent reproducibility. Duplicate analyses on selected samples are undertaken by Chris Christopherson, Inc. of Kellogg, Idaho.
The drill program is conducted under the supervision of IMC`s Qualified Person, Consulting Economic Geologist, Mr. John Sutcliffe and the overall feasibility study is being conducted under the supervision of independent consultants Micon International Ltd of Toronto, Canada. Water Management Consultants of Santiago, Chile are undertaking the Environmental Impact Assessment ("EIA") and metallurgical test work is being carried out by McClelland Laboratories, Inc. in Sparks, Nevada, USA.

The Alejandra Vein is a complex vein-breccia structure with a drill-tested east-west strike length of approximately 500m, which remains to be drill-tested for further extensions to the east. The structure ranges in width from less than 1.0m up to 30m (with an average width of approximately 6m) and gold-silver mineralization extends from surface to a depth of about 300m. In an October 14, 2003 news release, IMC announced a positive preliminary assessment study (under the rules of National Instrument 43-101) carried out by Buenaventura Engineering ("BISA"). The study indicated strong preliminary economics (over 50% pretax IRR at base case metal prices of US$350/oz gold and US$5/oz silver) for this high-grade zone based on an inferred resource estimate of approximately 744,000 tonnes at an average grade of 18 g/t gold and 146 g/t silver, containing 438,000 gold ounces and 3.5 million silver ounces.
Drilling to date has been carried out primarily by Paragon Drilling Ecuador S.A. (under the supervision of a Canadian drilling consultant) and partially by Kluane International Drilling Inc., of Vancouver, Canada. Currently, Paragon is the sole drill contractor. Sample preparation was carried out at the ALS Chemex laboratory in Quito, Ecuador using standard industry practices. Analytical work was carried out at the ALS Chemex laboratory in Vancouver, Canada using screen fire assay for expected high-grade zones and conventional fire assay methods for gold and silver for all other zones. For quality control purposes, analytical standards with known metal values were included with IMC`s samples and show excellent reproducibility. Duplicate analyses on selected samples are undertaken by Chris Christopherson, Inc. of Kellogg, Idaho.
The drill program is conducted under the supervision of IMC`s Qualified Person, Consulting Economic Geologist, Mr. John Sutcliffe and the overall feasibility study is being conducted under the supervision of independent consultants Micon International Ltd of Toronto, Canada. Water Management Consultants of Santiago, Chile are undertaking the Environmental Impact Assessment ("EIA") and metallurgical test work is being carried out by McClelland Laboratories, Inc. in Sparks, Nevada, USA.

SCOTTSDALE, ARIZONA--(CCNMatthews - Nov. 16, 2004) - International
Minerals Corporation (TSX:IMZ)(SWX:IMZ)(FWB:MIW) (the "Company") has
filed its unaudited, management-prepared September 30, 2004 interim
financial statements on SEDAR. Highlights of these financials for the
first quarter of the Company`s 2004 fiscal year are shown below (all
numbers are reported in US Dollars):
- The consolidated net income for the three-month period ended September
30, 2004 (the "current period") was $764,877 or $0.01 per share. This
compares to a loss of $169,007 or $0.01 per share for the same quarter
in 2003 and is the result of a significant foreign exchange gain in the
current period of $780,988 due to the US dollar weakening against the
Canadian dollar. The majority of the Company`s funds are held in
Canadian dollars.
- Capitalized resource property expenditures for the current period
increased to $1,429,617 compared to expenditures of $894,649 for the
same quarter last year, due primarily to the continued drilling and
other feasibility study costs incurred at the Company`s Rio Blanco gold
property in Ecuador, and the start of a major drilling program during
the current period at the Company`s Pallancata silver-gold project in
Peru.
- Cash, cash-equivalents and short-term investments decreased by
$934,140 from $15,349,770 at June 30, 2004 to $14,415,630 as of
September 30, 2004 due primarily to expenditures on the Company`s Rio
Blanco and Pallancata projects as described above.
- Working capital decreased by $706,947 from $15,832,366 at year-end
June 30, 2004 to $15,125,419 as of September 30, 2004 primarily for the

International Minerals Reports Bonanza Grade Silver
Intercepts in Drilling at Pallancata, Peru
SCOTTSDALE, ARIZONA--(CCNMatthews - Dec. 8, 2004) - International
Minerals Corporation ("IMC") (TSX:IMZ)(SWX:IMZ)(FWB:MIW) has received
assay results from the first eight core drill holes totaling 1,892 m as
part of an approximate 8,500m second phase drilling program at its
100%-held Pallancata silver-gold property, located approximately 240km
southeast of Ayachuco in southern Peru.
Uncut drill intercepts with "bonanza" silver grades and high grade gold
(which commonly are contained within wider mineralized zones) include
PAC-20 with 2.5 m at 4,240 g/t silver and 25.6 g/t gold (which includes
1.2 m at 4,870 g/t silver and 34.8 g/t gold) and PAC-23 with 1.5 m at
2,320 g/t silver and 11.1 g/t gold. Mineralization remains open to the
west and at depth. These intercepts are estimated true widths and are
the highest grade intercepts so far recorded from drilling on the
property by IMC.
Assay results for the eight drill holes are summarized in the table
below and drill hole locations (mid-points of mineralized intervals) are
shown on the attached longitudinal-section in the plane of the vein. All
assay values are uncut.

This second phase drill program follows-up on a successful first phase
of drilling completed by IMC in July 2003 (see news release dated
September 19, 2003) in which 17 core drill holes (totaling approximately
2,500m) tested only the western half of the 830m-long Pallancata Vein
and outlined at least two substantial mineralized zones ("shoots"), both
open at depth, located in the central part of the structure in an area
of underground mine workings dating from the Spanish colonial era (see
attached longitudinal section).
IMC`s 2003 first phase drill results for the Pallancata Vein confirmed
the presence of high-grade silver mineralization (with local "bonanza"
silver grades) extending up to a depth of 200 m below surface. Drill
hole assay results (uncut values and estimated true widths) included
2.9m at 1,020 g/t silver and 5.5 g/t gold in PAC-4, 1.6m at 1,000 g/t
silver and 2.6 g/t gold in PAC-06, and 3.2m at 651 g/t silver and 1.8
g/t gold in PAC-12 (see September 19, 2004 news release for complete
assay results from all drill holes). These silver-gold grades and vein
widths are comparable with published data (source: Peru`s department of
Mines) from similar epithermal silver-gold vein deposits currently being
mined underground by major companies in the area.
In early 2004, IMC geologists discovered high-grade vein mineralization
from surface and underground sampling of the previously unknown Mariana
Vein, located some 800m to the north of the Pallancata Vein (see March
3, 2004 news release). To date, the Mariana Vein has been traced over a
strike length of approximately 350m. A total of 53 rock channel samples
taken from accessible workings on the vein averaged 802 g/t silver and
2.7 g/t gold, with individual samples ranging from 72 to 8,240 g/t
silver and from 0.3 to 26.7 g/t gold, with estimated true widths ranging
from 0.30m to 1.20m. In addition, preliminary work has been undertaken
by IMC on the Virgen del Carmen and Ranichico Vein targets, located
approximately 2.5 km north of the Pallancata vein.
IMC`s current second phase drill program is designed to test primarily
for additional depth and lateral extensions of mineralization on the
Pallancata Vein, but will also test, on an initial basis, the Mariana
Vein, the Virgen del Carmen Vein and the Ranichico Vein. In addition,
the planned 500m of underground exploration (which will extend some of
old Spanish workings) to be carried out in 2005 will test for continuity
of mineralization of the Pallancata Vein and will also provide bulk
samples for metallurgical testwork. The program of approximately 50 core
drill holes (totaling 8,500m) is scheduled for completion in the second
quarter of 2005 with the underground exploration program estimated for
completion in the third quarter of 2005.
Core drilling is being carried out by Bradley Brothers of Rouyn, Quebec,
Canada using Canadian drillers. Sample preparation and analytical work
will be done at the ALS Chemex laboratory in Lima, Peru using standard
industry practices and conventional fire assay and atomic absorption
methods for gold and silver. The overall exploration program is being
conducted under the supervision of IMC`s Qualified Person, Mr. John
Sutcliffe.

Bisher habe ich bei den Postings zu allen möglichen Aktien drei Szenarien feststellen können:
1. Die Aktie boomt. In diesem Fall überschlagen sich die Postings. Alle strahlen, jeder weiß dass der Wert natürlich durch die Decke geht usw.
2. Die Aktie stürzt ab. Auch hier überschlagen sich die Postings. Dann sind allerdings die Gesundbeter am Werk.
3. Die Aktie dümpelt. Dann ist bei den Postings Stille angesagt.
Punkt 1 und 3 habe ich bei IMZ schon gesehen. Wenn ich dann bei Euch nachfrage, soll das keineswegs eine Kritik in irgendeiner Art und Weise sein. Ganz im Gegenteil. Da ich auf dem Sektor nicht so viel Wissen habe, ist es doch eher eine Anerkennung Eurer Kompetenz.

IMZ ist ein klasse Firma und eine klasse Aktie. Sie tritt auf der Stelle, weil der Gesamtmarkt auf der Stelle tritt. eigentlich verliert der Gesamtmarkt und IMZ haelt sich trotzdem. 7mio Unzen Gold verschwinden nicht ueber Nacht so einfach. Steigt Gold, wird auch IMZ steigen.
Die Bohrergebnisse von gestern sind wieder aller erste Sahne:
PAC-20 with 2.5 m at 4,240 g/t silver and 25.6 g/t gold (which includes
1.2 m at 4,870 g/t silver and 34.8 g/t gold) and PAC-23 with 1.5 m at
2,320 g/t silver and 11.1 g/t gold.
Da kann man nicht klagen. Andere reden von 4,2 Unzen auf die Tonne und wir haben 4,2 Kilogramm auf die Tonne! Das ist wahrlich HIGH GRADE! Ich warte gemuetlich auf die Feas von Rio Blanco. Dann gehen sie Gaby an und mit den letzten Bohrergebnissen von Pallancata wird IMZ sicherlich nicht weniger wert sein!
Wer an einen hoeheren Goldpreis glaubt, so wie ich, der haelt und/ oder kauft IMZ. Trotz einer MK von fast 300mio dollar ist sie nachwievor guenstig zu haben!

International Minerals Reports Additional High-Grade
Silver and Gold Results from Phase 2 Drilling at
Pallancata, Peru
SCOTTSDALE, ARIZONA--(CCNMatthews - May 24, 2005) - International
Minerals Corporation ("IMC") (TSX:IMZ)(SWX:IMZ)(FWB:MIW) has received
additional assay results from a second phase core drilling program at
its 100%-held Pallancata silver-gold property, located approximately
240km southeast of Ayachuco in southern Peru. To date, IMC has completed
44 drill holes (totaling 11,956m) of a planned Phase 2 program totaling
approximately 13,200m in 51 drill holes. Combining Phase 1 and 2 drill
programs, an aggregate total of 14,446m in 61 drill holes has been
completed so far on the Pallancata property.
Currently IMC has identified four principal areas of low-sulfidation,
epithermal, silver-gold vein-breccia type mineralization on the
Pallancata property. These four areas are designated by IMC as:
Pallancata, Mariana, Soroche and Ranichico (see Figure 1). The
Pallancata vein-breccia structure has been the primary focus of IMC`s
drilling program to date and all assay results received to date are
reported from that structure. Drilling recently commenced in the Mariana
area and assay results are pending.
Pallancata Structure - Phase 2 Drill Results
Initial drill assay results were released by IMC for the first eight
drill holes (PAC 18-25) in a news release dated December 8, 2004. These
results (with uncut values and estimated true widths of mineralization)
include high-grade silver and gold values in drill-hole PAC-20 with 2.6
m at 4,243 g/t silver and 25.7 g/t gold and hole PAC-23 with 1.6 m at
2,320 g/t silver and 11.1 g/t gold. Both of these drill holes are
located in the western part of the Pallancata vein-breccia structure in
an area designated by IMC as the "West Breccia Zone".
These eight drill holes (PAC 18-25) have been restated in the Table
below primarily because of (a) changes to core interval lengths as a
result of meterage conversion errors by the drilling company and (b)
additional sampling by IMC geologists of previously unsampled
mineralized intervals. Significant new assay results for additional
drill holes PAC 26-55 are also shown in the Table below.
All drill-hole locations and points of mineralized intervals are shown
on the attached longitudinal section (Figure 2) in the plane of the
vein. All assay values are uncut.

(i)Previously reported in news release of December 8, 2004.
/T/
IMC geologists have identified a lithological control to precious metal
mineralization within the Pallancata vein-breccia. Drill holes that
report low or non-significant values typically are found in the Central
Zone (see Figures 1 and 2) where the Pallancata structure is contained
within unsilicified volcanic tuffs or within an andesite intrusive
("sill"). The highest grade intercepts in the structure are generally
located in the western part of the structure, in the West Breccia Zone.
Of notable interest is that surface values for silver and gold in this
area were relatively low, reflecting a combination of lithological
control and vertical zonation of precious metal mineralization, the
latter commonly seen in epithermal silver-gold deposits in this region
of southern Peru and elsewhere in the world.
Precious metal mineralization in the Pallancata structure has now been
identified by IMC over a strike length of almost 2 km within the 6
km-long Pallancata structure and to depths of up to 350m below surface.
Mineralization is still open along strike and at depth. The Pallancata
vein-breccia structure is complex, with multiple hangingwall and
footwall veins or "splays" being intersected in the drill-holes, as
indicated in the Table of drill assay results (e.g. PAC 52, 54 and 55).
IMC`s Phase 2 drill program, which commenced in August 2004, follows-up
a successful Phase 1 program completed in July 2003 (see news release
dated September 19, 2003) which comprised 17 core drill holes totaling
approximately 2,500m. Drill hole assay results (uncut values and
estimated true widths) for the Phase 1 program included 2.9m at 1,020
g/t silver and 5.5 g/t gold in drill hole PAC-04, 1.6m at 1,000 g/t
silver and 2.6 g/t gold in hole PAC-06, 0.6m at 2,480 g/t silver and 9.0
g/t gold together with 1.0m at 1,199 g/t silver and 6.3 g/t gold in hole
PAC-09.
Mariana / Soroche / Ranichico Areas
In 2004, IMC geologists discovered high-grade vein mineralization from
surface and underground sampling of the previously unknown Mariana Vein,
located some 800m to the north of the Pallancata structure (see March 3,
2004 news release). To date, the Mariana Vein has been traced over a
strike length of approximately 350m. A total of 53 rock channel samples
taken from accessible workings on the vein averaged 802 g/t silver and
2.7 g/t gold, with individual samples ranging from 72 to 8,240 g/t
silver and from 0.3 to 26.7 g/t gold, with estimated true widths ranging
from 0.30m to 1.20m.
Core drilling has now commenced in the Mariana area and a program of
seven drill holes totaling approximately 900m is planned. To date four
drill holes (624m) have been completed and assay results are pending.
In addition, a further 1,230m of core drilling is planned for the
Ranichico area, located some 2.5 km north of the main Pallancata
structure (see Figure 1).
Veins in the Soroche area were only discovered recently by IMC and
surface geological mapping and rock sampling are underway to identify
possible drill targets.
General
IMC`s overall Phase 2 drill program at the Pallancata property is
scheduled for completion in the third quarter of 2005. IMC intends to
produce an inferred mineral resource estimate for the main Pallancata
vein-breccia structure this summer, with a view to starting a
pre-feasibility study in the fourth quarter of 2005, funded by existing
IMC financial resources.
Core drilling is being carried out by Bradley Brothers of Rouyn, Quebec,
Canada using Canadian drillers. Sample preparation and analytical work
is undertaken at the ALS Chemex laboratory in Lima, Peru using standard
industry practices and conventional atomic absorption and fire assay
methods for gold and silver. For quality control purposes, analytical
standards with known metal values were included with IMC`s samples and
show acceptable reproducibility. In addition, duplicate analyses on
selected drill samples will also be carried out by a second independent
assay laboratory. The overall exploration program is being conducted
under the supervision of IMC`s Qualified Person, Mr. John Sutcliffe.

(i)Previously reported in news release of December 8, 2004.
/T/
IMC geologists have identified a lithological control to precious metal
mineralization within the Pallancata vein-breccia. Drill holes that
report low or non-significant values typically are found in the Central
Zone (see Figures 1 and 2) where the Pallancata structure is contained
within unsilicified volcanic tuffs or within an andesite intrusive
("sill"). The highest grade intercepts in the structure are generally
located in the western part of the structure, in the West Breccia Zone.
Of notable interest is that surface values for silver and gold in this
area were relatively low, reflecting a combination of lithological
control and vertical zonation of precious metal mineralization, the
latter commonly seen in epithermal silver-gold deposits in this region
of southern Peru and elsewhere in the world.
Precious metal mineralization in the Pallancata structure has now been
identified by IMC over a strike length of almost 2 km within the 6
km-long Pallancata structure and to depths of up to 350m below surface.
Mineralization is still open along strike and at depth. The Pallancata
vein-breccia structure is complex, with multiple hangingwall and
footwall veins or "splays" being intersected in the drill-holes, as
indicated in the Table of drill assay results (e.g. PAC 52, 54 and 55).
IMC`s Phase 2 drill program, which commenced in August 2004, follows-up
a successful Phase 1 program completed in July 2003 (see news release
dated September 19, 2003) which comprised 17 core drill holes totaling
approximately 2,500m. Drill hole assay results (uncut values and
estimated true widths) for the Phase 1 program included 2.9m at 1,020
g/t silver and 5.5 g/t gold in drill hole PAC-04, 1.6m at 1,000 g/t
silver and 2.6 g/t gold in hole PAC-06, 0.6m at 2,480 g/t silver and 9.0
g/t gold together with 1.0m at 1,199 g/t silver and 6.3 g/t gold in hole
PAC-09.
Mariana / Soroche / Ranichico Areas
In 2004, IMC geologists discovered high-grade vein mineralization from
surface and underground sampling of the previously unknown Mariana Vein,
located some 800m to the north of the Pallancata structure (see March 3,
2004 news release). To date, the Mariana Vein has been traced over a
strike length of approximately 350m. A total of 53 rock channel samples
taken from accessible workings on the vein averaged 802 g/t silver and
2.7 g/t gold, with individual samples ranging from 72 to 8,240 g/t
silver and from 0.3 to 26.7 g/t gold, with estimated true widths ranging
from 0.30m to 1.20m.
Core drilling has now commenced in the Mariana area and a program of
seven drill holes totaling approximately 900m is planned. To date four
drill holes (624m) have been completed and assay results are pending.
In addition, a further 1,230m of core drilling is planned for the
Ranichico area, located some 2.5 km north of the main Pallancata
structure (see Figure 1).
Veins in the Soroche area were only discovered recently by IMC and
surface geological mapping and rock sampling are underway to identify
possible drill targets.
General
IMC`s overall Phase 2 drill program at the Pallancata property is
scheduled for completion in the third quarter of 2005. IMC intends to
produce an inferred mineral resource estimate for the main Pallancata
vein-breccia structure this summer, with a view to starting a
pre-feasibility study in the fourth quarter of 2005, funded by existing
IMC financial resources.
Core drilling is being carried out by Bradley Brothers of Rouyn, Quebec,
Canada using Canadian drillers. Sample preparation and analytical work
is undertaken at the ALS Chemex laboratory in Lima, Peru using standard
industry practices and conventional atomic absorption and fire assay
methods for gold and silver. For quality control purposes, analytical
standards with known metal values were included with IMC`s samples and
show acceptable reproducibility. In addition, duplicate analyses on
selected drill samples will also be carried out by a second independent
assay laboratory. The overall exploration program is being conducted
under the supervision of IMC`s Qualified Person, Mr. John Sutcliffe.

International Minerals Reports Results of Feasibility Study at Rio Blanco Gold-Silver Project, Ecuador
Jan 30, 2006 9:00:00 AM
SCOTTSDALE, ARIZONA--(CCNMatthews - Jan. 30, 2006) - International Minerals Corporation ("IMC")(TSX:IMZ)(SWISS:IMZ)(FRANKFURT:MIW) announces the results of an independent feasibility study carried out under the overall supervision of Micon International Limited of Toronto, Canada ("Micon") for the Alejandra North Vein deposit at IMC`s 100%-owned Rio Blanco gold-silver project in Ecuador. The Micon study proposes an 800 tonnes per day ("tpd") underground mining operation for a period of approximately seven years using conventional mining and processing methods based on estimated proven and probable reserves of 2.0 million tonnes ("t") at an average grade of 8.1 grams per tonne ("g/t") gold and 63 g/t silver containing 521,000 ounces ("oz") of gold and 4.04 million ounces of silver.
The mining operation will require an estimated initial capital expenditure of $60.3 million, excluding working capital estimated at $4 million. Assuming financing on a 100% equity basis, the Micon study estimates a pre-tax, pre-royalty Internal Rate-of-Return ("IRR") of 20.1% for the project using base-case metal prices of $475 per ounce ("/oz") gold and $8.00/oz silver. Life-of-mine pre-tax, pre-royalty cash flow is projected to be $60.4 million and the Net Present Value ("NPV") at a 5% discount rate is $35.4 million. At a gold price of $550/oz, the estimated numbers would be: an IRR of 30%, cash flow of $94 million, and NPV at a 5% discount rate of $61 million. See Table 2.

Note 1, Reserves are derived from Measured and Indicated resources,
see news release dated January 26, 2005 for details
Note 2, Reserves are estimated using a 4 g/t gold cut-off grade
Note 3, Reserves are subject to metallurgical recovery of 87% for
gold and 70% for silver.
Note 4, Mining dilution of approximately 10%, with a diluting grade
of 1.7 g/t gold, has been accounted for in the reserves.
Note 5, Mining losses have been estimated at 10% for general mining.
In addition, approximately 60% of the sill pillar will not be
recovered. These losses are accounted for in the stated
reserves.
Mining Method
The Alejandra North Vein deposit will be mined underground by a longhole open stoping technique with a combination of hydraulic and waste rock backfill using mobile diesel-operated rubber-tired equipment. The mine will be accessed via adits and a ramp system connected to surface at two portals. The portals will be located on the southern hillside, on the 3780 and 3640 meter ("m") levels. The mining methods employed will utilize ramp access to the mining levels (20 m between each level) and each stope will be backfilled after mining is completed.
IMC has elected to use contract mining for the Alejandra North Vein deposit and has pre-selected Mas Errasurriz of Santiago, Chile as the mining contractor for the initial life of the project. Mas Errasurriz is a well-known and well-respected mining contractor that has carried out multi-scale mining contracts for major and mid-size mining companies worldwide, including Codelco in Chile.
Metallurgical Testing
Under the supervision of Mr. A.J. Brown, a metallurgical consultant under contract to IMC, a comprehensive metallurgical testing program was completed on selected drill core and rock panel samples taken from an adit within the mineralized zone. Approximately 10% of the drill sample assay intervals within the resource shell were submitted for testing. The work was carried out using industry-accepted procedures by the well-known testing facility, McClelland Labs, in Nevada, USA. Results indicated that (a) the material tested was not particularly hard or abrasive (b) it was generally amenable to direct cyanidation (c) it exhibited good settling and filtration characteristics, and (d) washed leach residue responded well to cyanide destruction.
Although the majority of samples tested were amenable to cyanide leaching, some produced relatively poor gold and silver recoveries. This recovery issue was ultimately linked to elevated arsenic content combined with relatively low gold grades. Diagnostic leaching of tailings from poorly performing bottle roll tests, combined with optical and scanning electron microscopy, identified gold in sulfides (specifically arsenian pyrite) as the cause of the relatively poor recovery. It was concluded that deleterious levels of arsenic (typically above 2,000 ppm) are generally associated with gold grades less than 8g/t, which represent approximately 30% of the gold in proven and probable reserves.
A series of regression analyses were developed correlating gold in cyanidation tails to arsenic head grades. These analyses were then used to define cyanide-recoverable gold on a block-by-block basis in the reserve database. Average life-of-mine gold recovery is projected by IMC at 87%. Life-of-mine silver recovery which is not impacted by arsenic content is projected at 70%.
Process Plant Design
All key process design parameters, equipment sizing criteria and reagent consumption rates were established by the metallurgical testing described above. The process flow sheet includes two-stage crushing and screening, grinding and classification, cyanide leaching, thickening and filtration of leach discharge slurries. Leached tailings will be treated to destroy residual cyanide, classified to remove slimes and used as required for backfill underground. Tails not returned underground will be transferred to a lined impoundment adjacent to the plant. Pregnant leach solution from cyanide leaching will be clarified and de-aerated prior to the injection of zinc dust and lead nitrate to precipitate gold and silver. Precipitates will be collected in a filter press, dried and smelted to produce dore bars containing gold, silver and minor impurities, for final refining offsite.
The processing plant will operate seven days per week at a throughput of 800 tonnes per day. Crushing will be accomplished in one eight-hour shift per day. The processing plant will operate 24 hours per day at 90% availability for a total projected annual throughput of 292,000 tonnes per year.
Permitting
Because the project is located within the "Molleturo Bosque Protector" (which is the lowest order of protected forest in Ecuador) the controlling agency for the approval of the environmental license for IMC`s Rio Blanco operation will be the Ministry of the Environment. Under Ecuadorian law, a mining project is generally approved only by the environmental department of the Ministry of Energy and Mines, unless the operation is located within a protected forest, as is the Rio Blanco project. As a result, IMC will be required to submit all permitting documentation to both governmental agencies for their approval. The permitting process, including multiple public consultations with surrounding communities and the regional government agencies (which must also give their approval to IMC`s project) is expected to take about 6 months from the date of initiation of the permitting process. Initial preparation of documentation required for the permitting process has commenced and final permitting is anticipated to be completed in June this year.
Time Line for Production
A comprehensive project schedule for the project was developed by Mine and Quarry Engineering Services ("MQes") of San Mateo, California. See Table 4 below. This schedule was derived from information developed during the preparation of the feasibility study and it reflects a phased approach to the engineering, procurement, construction and commissioning of the mine facility by Q4 2007.

Final governmental approval of the Environmental Impact Study ("EIS") is the key "trigger" for all site development and construction activities on the project. The EIS is currently being finalized and is expected to be submitted by May 5, 2006.
Additional Upside Potential - San Luis Veins
In December 2005, IMC reported an inferred resource estimate for the San Luis Veins (an area immediately adjacent to the north of the Alejandra North Vein deposit) of 125,000 tonnes at an average grade of 35 g/t gold and 152 g/t silver containing approximately 140,000 ounces gold and 611,000 ounces silver, based on uncut gold grades. The contained gold and silver resources at San Luis, however, are currently not mineral reserves and do not have demonstrated economic viability. See news release dated December 12, 2005 for further details of the resource estimate.
IMC continues to drill at San Luis in order to confirm the existing inferred resource and, if possible, to upgrade it to the measured and indicated resource categories. IMC will complete the drilling in March and expects to finalize the new resource estimation by April 2006. Based on the results of the new resource estimation at San Luis, the overall project economics and mine life may be re-estimated by IMC and an amended feasibility study issued to reflect the new technical and economic data.
IMC anticipates that if the San Luis Veins can be upgraded to the measured and indicated category of resource, and subsequently to mineral reserves, they could have a significant positive impact on the overall project economics. This is due to the relatively high-grade gold content of the veins and the possibility that they can be mined early in the project life, thereby accelerating cash flow and reducing the project capital payback period.
General
In addition to Micon acting as overall supervisor for the feasibility study, the study was supervised internally by IMC`s Qualified Person, Technical Manager, Nick Appleyard. An updated Technical Report compliant with NI 43-101 will be finalized by Micon and filed by IMC on SEDAR within 45 days of the date of this news release.
IMC requires additional financing for the construction of the mining and processing operation at Rio Blanco and necessary working capital. This funding is expected to be provided by a combination of equity and/or convertible debt financing.

International Minerals Reports Results of Feasibility Study at Rio Blanco Gold-Silver Project, Ecuador
Jan 30, 2006 9:00:00 AM
SCOTTSDALE, ARIZONA--(CCNMatthews - Jan. 30, 2006) - International Minerals Corporation ("IMC")(TSX:IMZ)(SWISS:IMZ)(FRANKFURT:MIW) announces the results of an independent feasibility study carried out under the overall supervision of Micon International Limited of Toronto, Canada ("Micon") for the Alejandra North Vein deposit at IMC`s 100%-owned Rio Blanco gold-silver project in Ecuador. The Micon study proposes an 800 tonnes per day ("tpd") underground mining operation for a period of approximately seven years using conventional mining and processing methods based on estimated proven and probable reserves of 2.0 million tonnes ("t") at an average grade of 8.1 grams per tonne ("g/t") gold and 63 g/t silver containing 521,000 ounces ("oz") of gold and 4.04 million ounces of silver.
The mining operation will require an estimated initial capital expenditure of $60.3 million, excluding working capital estimated at $4 million. Assuming financing on a 100% equity basis, the Micon study estimates a pre-tax, pre-royalty Internal Rate-of-Return ("IRR") of 20.1% for the project using base-case metal prices of $475 per ounce ("/oz") gold and $8.00/oz silver. Life-of-mine pre-tax, pre-royalty cash flow is projected to be $60.4 million and the Net Present Value ("NPV") at a 5% discount rate is $35.4 million. At a gold price of $550/oz, the estimated numbers would be: an IRR of 30%, cash flow of $94 million, and NPV at a 5% discount rate of $61 million. See Table 2.

see news release dated January 26, 2005 for details
Note 2, Reserves are estimated using a 4 g/t gold cut-off grade
Note 3, Reserves are subject to metallurgical recovery of 87% for
gold and 70% for silver.
Note 4, Mining dilution of approximately 10%, with a diluting grade
of 1.7 g/t gold, has been accounted for in the reserves.
Note 5, Mining losses have been estimated at 10% for general mining.
In addition, approximately 60% of the sill pillar will not be
recovered. These losses are accounted for in the stated
reserves.
Mining Method
The Alejandra North Vein deposit will be mined underground by a longhole open stoping technique with a combination of hydraulic and waste rock backfill using mobile diesel-operated rubber-tired equipment. The mine will be accessed via adits and a ramp system connected to surface at two portals. The portals will be located on the southern hillside, on the 3780 and 3640 meter ("m") levels. The mining methods employed will utilize ramp access to the mining levels (20 m between each level) and each stope will be backfilled after mining is completed.
IMC has elected to use contract mining for the Alejandra North Vein deposit and has pre-selected Mas Errasurriz of Santiago, Chile as the mining contractor for the initial life of the project. Mas Errasurriz is a well-known and well-respected mining contractor that has carried out multi-scale mining contracts for major and mid-size mining companies worldwide, including Codelco in Chile.
Metallurgical Testing
Under the supervision of Mr. A.J. Brown, a metallurgical consultant under contract to IMC, a comprehensive metallurgical testing program was completed on selected drill core and rock panel samples taken from an adit within the mineralized zone. Approximately 10% of the drill sample assay intervals within the resource shell were submitted for testing. The work was carried out using industry-accepted procedures by the well-known testing facility, McClelland Labs, in Nevada, USA. Results indicated that (a) the material tested was not particularly hard or abrasive (b) it was generally amenable to direct cyanidation (c) it exhibited good settling and filtration characteristics, and (d) washed leach residue responded well to cyanide destruction.
Although the majority of samples tested were amenable to cyanide leaching, some produced relatively poor gold and silver recoveries. This recovery issue was ultimately linked to elevated arsenic content combined with relatively low gold grades. Diagnostic leaching of tailings from poorly performing bottle roll tests, combined with optical and scanning electron microscopy, identified gold in sulfides (specifically arsenian pyrite) as the cause of the relatively poor recovery. It was concluded that deleterious levels of arsenic (typically above 2,000 ppm) are generally associated with gold grades less than 8g/t, which represent approximately 30% of the gold in proven and probable reserves.
A series of regression analyses were developed correlating gold in cyanidation tails to arsenic head grades. These analyses were then used to define cyanide-recoverable gold on a block-by-block basis in the reserve database. Average life-of-mine gold recovery is projected by IMC at 87%. Life-of-mine silver recovery which is not impacted by arsenic content is projected at 70%.
Process Plant Design
All key process design parameters, equipment sizing criteria and reagent consumption rates were established by the metallurgical testing described above. The process flow sheet includes two-stage crushing and screening, grinding and classification, cyanide leaching, thickening and filtration of leach discharge slurries. Leached tailings will be treated to destroy residual cyanide, classified to remove slimes and used as required for backfill underground. Tails not returned underground will be transferred to a lined impoundment adjacent to the plant. Pregnant leach solution from cyanide leaching will be clarified and de-aerated prior to the injection of zinc dust and lead nitrate to precipitate gold and silver. Precipitates will be collected in a filter press, dried and smelted to produce dore bars containing gold, silver and minor impurities, for final refining offsite.
The processing plant will operate seven days per week at a throughput of 800 tonnes per day. Crushing will be accomplished in one eight-hour shift per day. The processing plant will operate 24 hours per day at 90% availability for a total projected annual throughput of 292,000 tonnes per year.
Permitting
Because the project is located within the "Molleturo Bosque Protector" (which is the lowest order of protected forest in Ecuador) the controlling agency for the approval of the environmental license for IMC`s Rio Blanco operation will be the Ministry of the Environment. Under Ecuadorian law, a mining project is generally approved only by the environmental department of the Ministry of Energy and Mines, unless the operation is located within a protected forest, as is the Rio Blanco project. As a result, IMC will be required to submit all permitting documentation to both governmental agencies for their approval. The permitting process, including multiple public consultations with surrounding communities and the regional government agencies (which must also give their approval to IMC`s project) is expected to take about 6 months from the date of initiation of the permitting process. Initial preparation of documentation required for the permitting process has commenced and final permitting is anticipated to be completed in June this year.
Time Line for Production
A comprehensive project schedule for the project was developed by Mine and Quarry Engineering Services ("MQes") of San Mateo, California. See Table 4 below. This schedule was derived from information developed during the preparation of the feasibility study and it reflects a phased approach to the engineering, procurement, construction and commissioning of the mine facility by Q4 2007.

Final governmental approval of the Environmental Impact Study ("EIS") is the key "trigger" for all site development and construction activities on the project. The EIS is currently being finalized and is expected to be submitted by May 5, 2006.
Additional Upside Potential - San Luis Veins
In December 2005, IMC reported an inferred resource estimate for the San Luis Veins (an area immediately adjacent to the north of the Alejandra North Vein deposit) of 125,000 tonnes at an average grade of 35 g/t gold and 152 g/t silver containing approximately 140,000 ounces gold and 611,000 ounces silver, based on uncut gold grades. The contained gold and silver resources at San Luis, however, are currently not mineral reserves and do not have demonstrated economic viability. See news release dated December 12, 2005 for further details of the resource estimate.
IMC continues to drill at San Luis in order to confirm the existing inferred resource and, if possible, to upgrade it to the measured and indicated resource categories. IMC will complete the drilling in March and expects to finalize the new resource estimation by April 2006. Based on the results of the new resource estimation at San Luis, the overall project economics and mine life may be re-estimated by IMC and an amended feasibility study issued to reflect the new technical and economic data.
IMC anticipates that if the San Luis Veins can be upgraded to the measured and indicated category of resource, and subsequently to mineral reserves, they could have a significant positive impact on the overall project economics. This is due to the relatively high-grade gold content of the veins and the possibility that they can be mined early in the project life, thereby accelerating cash flow and reducing the project capital payback period.
General
In addition to Micon acting as overall supervisor for the feasibility study, the study was supervised internally by IMC`s Qualified Person, Technical Manager, Nick Appleyard. An updated Technical Report compliant with NI 43-101 will be finalized by Micon and filed by IMC on SEDAR within 45 days of the date of this news release.
IMC requires additional financing for the construction of the mining and processing operation at Rio Blanco and necessary working capital. This funding is expected to be provided by a combination of equity and/or convertible debt financing.

International Minerals Options Two Precious Metal Projects from Barrick in Southern Peru
Mar 15, 2006 8:00:00 AM
SCOTTSDALE, ARIZONA--(CCNMatthews - March 15, 2006) - International Minerals Corporation ("IMC") (TSX:IMZ)(SWISS:IMZ)(FWB:MIW) is pleased to announce the signing of two Letter Agreements with Barrick Gold Corporation`s Peruvian subsidiary, Minera Barrick Misquichilca S.A. ("Barrick") for the Antabamba and Pallancata East precious metal exploration properties, southwest of Cuzco in southern Peru. Both properties host extensive low-sulfidation epithermal mineralized systems.
Antabamba Property
The Antabamba property comprises nine concessions totaling 7,300 hectares and is the most advanced of the two properties acquired by IMC. Between 1963 and 1995 it was explored by a previous owner, who outlined approximately 30km of mineralized veins in two principal vein systems ("Santo Domingo" and "Mincasa") based on surface and underground rock sampling (approximately 3,200m of underground workings) and core drilling (16 drill holes totaling approximately 3,900m over a 4.5km strike length). Drill hole intersections (based on uncut assay results) include 1.1m at 1,085 g/t silver and 0.8 g/t gold and another drill hole with 1.1m containing 1,732 silver and trace gold values.
IMC`s initial examination of the property focused on the Santo Domingo vein system, which is the most extensively explored vein system to date. In addition to surface and underground geological mapping, 17 rock chip samples were taken from the vein system, returning assays from 1.5 g/t to 579 g/t silver and from trace amounts to 5.8 g/t gold over vein widths ranging from 0.5m to 5.0m. The best surface vein sample intercept obtained by IMC was 3.3m containing 579 g/t silver and 5.8 g/t gold.
Mineralization is hosted by Tertiary volcanics and comprises an extensive suite of sulfide minerals together with alteration textures and anomalous "pathfinder" elements (arsenic, mercury, molybdenum and antimony) consistent with an extensive low-sulfidation epithermal system.
IMC`s exploration program will involve detailed geological mapping and rock chip geochemical sampling (surface and underground) to be followed by drilling. IMC estimates an initial program of 10,000m of core drilling will be required to further evaluate the two principal vein systems known to date on the property. This program will be financed initially by existing funds but IMC will require additional financing in order to complete the drill program.
Basic Terms of the Antabamba Letter Agreement
- IMC will be the operator and must complete 20,000m of drilling (with a minimum of 4,000m in year one and 6,000m in year two) within a period of three years ("the Earn-in Period") to acquire a 51% interest in the property.
- Following the Earn-in Period, Barrick will have a one-time back-in right to increase its participating interest from 49% to 60% (and become operator) if IMC has established a total mineral resource (measured, indicated or inferred) in excess of 2.0 million ounces of gold on the property. Barrick must exercise its back-in right within 90 days of notification in writing of the calculated resource by IMC and must pay three times IMC`s exploration costs up to the date of Barrick`s election in order to exercise its back-in right.
- If Barrick`s participating interest in the joint venture is reduced to 20% or less, then Barrick`s participating interest will be exchanged (at Barrick`s sole choice) for a 2% Net Smelter Return ("NSR") royalty payable upon commencement of any commercial production from the property.
- IMC is responsible for the maintenance costs of the property during the Earn-in Period. There are no underlying option payments to third parties but the property is subject to a 0.5% NSR royalty payable to the former property owner upon commencement of commercial production from the property.
Pallancata East Property
The Pallancata East property is located adjacent to IMC`s Pallancata silver-gold property and 10km southeast of Hochschild`s Explorador silver-gold mine. It consists of three concessions totaling 2,800 hectares and is at a very early stage of the exploration cycle. Mineralization is hosted by Tertiary volcanics and consists principally of widespread silicification in the form of breccias, veins and stockworks.
Previous surface rock chip sampling by Barrick (344 samples) over a 4km by 6km area reported a range of assay values from trace amounts to 8.3 g/t gold and 0.1 g/t to 57 g/t silver.
During IMC`s initial sampling program, a total of 30 rock-chip samples were collected over a 5km by 3km area. The samples consisted of quartz veins, breccias and stockworks. IMC sample values ranged from 0.01 g/t to 2.9 g/t gold and 0.1 g/t to 72 g/t silver, but may not be representative of the entire 4km by 6km area sampled by IMC.
IMC is planning an exploration program comprising detailed geological mapping and rock chip geochemical sampling followed by an initial core drilling program of 2,000m, to be financed by IMC`s existing funds.
Basic Terms of the Pallancata East Letter Agreement
- IMC must complete 9,000m of drilling (with a minimum of 2,000m in year one and 3,000m in year two) within a period of three years ("the Earn-in Period") to acquire a 51% interest in the property.
- Following the Earn-in Period, Barrick will have a one-time back-in right to increase its participating interest from 49% to 60% (and become operator) if IMC has established a total mineral resource (measured, indicated or inferred) in excess of 2.0 million ounces of gold on the property. Barrick must exercise its back-in right within 90 days of notification in writing of the calculated resource by IMC and must pay three times IMC`s exploration costs up to the date of Barrick`s election to exercise its back-in right.
- If Barrick`s participating interest in the joint venture is reduced to 20% or less, then Barrick`s participating interest will be exchanged (at Barrick`s sole choice) for a 2% NSR royalty payable upon commencement of any commercial production from the property.
- IMC is responsible for the maintenance costs of the property during the Earn-in Period. There are no underlying property option payments or royalties to third parties.
The assay laboratories used for sample preparation and gold and silver analyses on historical samples from the two acquired properties are unknown. Sample preparation and analyses on samples taken by IMC were carried out by ALS Chemex in Peru using industry-standard assaying methods for gold and silver. The technical information presented in this news release has been reviewed and verified by IMC`s Qualified Person, Chief Geologist, Mark Cannuli.
Both Letter Agreements remain subject to IMC Board and regulatory approvals.

International Minerals Commences Feasibility Study Drill Program at Gaby Gold Property, Ecuador
Mar 29, 2006 9:00:00 AM
SCOTTSDALE, ARIZONA--(CCNMatthews - March 29, 2006) - International Minerals Corporation ("IMC") (TSX:IMZ)(SWISS:IMZ)(FWB:MIW) is pleased to announce the commencement of a feasibility drilling program at the Gaby gold porphyry project in southern Ecuador, as part of an overall feasibility study to evaluate the economic potential of a mining operation on the Gaby property. The initial drill program will consist of approximately 20,000m of core drilling over a period of approximately 12 months.
Exploration activity on the project was essentially suspended by the Company in 1997 due to low gold prices (in the $300 to $350/oz range) and the relatively low-grade of the deposit. With the uptrend in gold prices over the past two years, the Company believes that the timing is right to commence a feasibility study on the project. The success of the project could be expected to significantly impact IMC's goal of becoming a mid-tier gold producer in the near future, following expected gold and silver production within the next two years from IMC's Rio Blanco gold-silver project in Ecuador and its Pallancata silver-gold project in Peru.
The Gaby property comprises the Main Gaby deposit (interests varying between 55%-100% IMC) and the Papa Grande deposit (50% IMC), together with the much smaller Mollopongo deposit (100% IMC option). It was last drilled in 1996 by IMC and previous operators. Two separate, independent prefeasibility studies, including resource estimates, were completed on the Gaby project in 1997, one commissioned by IMC on the Main Gaby deposit and the other commissioned on the Papa Grande/Mollopongo deposits by the former operator.
As part of the feasibility study IMC intends to verify the historical data presented below and augment it where necessary with new data in order to bring these resource estimates into a NI 43-101 compliant format. At that time a Technical Report pursuant to NI 43-101 will be filed on SEDAR.

International Minerals Commences Feasibility Study Drill Program at Gaby Gold Property, Ecuador
Mar 29, 2006 9:00:00 AM
SCOTTSDALE, ARIZONA--(CCNMatthews - March 29, 2006) - International Minerals Corporation ("IMC") (TSX:IMZ)(SWISS:IMZ)(FWB:MIW) is pleased to announce the commencement of a feasibility drilling program at the Gaby gold porphyry project in southern Ecuador, as part of an overall feasibility study to evaluate the economic potential of a mining operation on the Gaby property. The initial drill program will consist of approximately 20,000m of core drilling over a period of approximately 12 months.
Exploration activity on the project was essentially suspended by the Company in 1997 due to low gold prices (in the $300 to $350/oz range) and the relatively low-grade of the deposit. With the uptrend in gold prices over the past two years, the Company believes that the timing is right to commence a feasibility study on the project. The success of the project could be expected to significantly impact IMC's goal of becoming a mid-tier gold producer in the near future, following expected gold and silver production within the next two years from IMC's Rio Blanco gold-silver project in Ecuador and its Pallancata silver-gold project in Peru.

International Minerals Intersects 48 Meters at 4.9 g/t Gold at Gaby Project, Ecuador
Heap Leach Processing Option Being Evaluated
SCOTTSDALE, ARIZONA--(CCNMatthews - Aug. 14, 2006) - International Minerals Corporation ("IMC") (TSX:IMZ)(SWX:IMZ)(FWB:MIW) has received assay results from an initial 17 core drill holes (totaling 3,916m) at its Gaby gold porphyry project in southern Ecuador. To date, 4,685m have been drilled in 22 core drill-holes. These drill-holes are part of an estimated 25,000m drill program required for the completion of an independent feasibility study currently underway on the project. This feasibility study is expected to be completed in the third quarter of 2007.
Significant intercepts (all uncut values) from the 17 drill-holes are shown in the attached Table 1 and their locations are shown on the attached map. The Gaby project comprises two main mineralized areas: the Main Gaby Deposit and the Papa Grande Deposit. At Papa Grande, drill hole PPG-21 contains an intercept of 48m with an average grade of 4.9 g/t gold, including a 16.0m intercept averaging 13.5 g/t gold with a single 2.0m intercept containing 92.2 g/t gold. In addition, drill-hole PPG-13 reported an intercept of 49.3m at 1.20 g/t gold and drill-hole PPG-19 reports 108.6 m of 0.69 g/t gold. In the Main Gaby Deposit, where the current drill-holes are located outside of the currently known mineralized zone (see attached map), drill intercepts include GBY-15 with 90m at 0.4 g/t gold and GBY-20 with 152 m at 0.4 g/t gold. Copper values (generated mainly by chalcopyrite) are typically in the 0.05% to 0.15% range and silver values are in the 1g/t to 5 g/t range. Due to the disseminated nature of the gold mineralization at Gaby, drill intercept widths can generally be equated to true widths.
The Gaby project has a combined historical resource estimate (on a 100% project basis), based on 1997 independent pre-feasibility studies, of approximately 212 million tonnes at 0.8 g/t gold containing approximately 5.5 million gold ounces in all mineral resource categories. These resource estimates, however, have not been reviewed or verified by an independent qualified person, nor has a NI 43-101 Technical Report been prepared yet by IMC (a report is expected to be ready by year end). IMC has not completed the work necessary to verify the historical classification of the mineral resource estimate and is not treating them as a current resource estimate as defined by NI 43-101. This historical mineral resource at Gaby has no demonstrated economic viability and in no way reflects the quantities of gold expected to be economically extractable from the Gaby property.
Update on Feasibility Study and Heap Leach Scenario
The 1997 independent pre-feasibility studies envisaged an agitation leach and carbon-in-pulp gold recovery process. Because industry-wide capital and operating costs have risen significantly since 1997, IMC believes that a heap leach and carbon-in-columns processing option is potentially now a more attractive alternative for Gaby in terms of project viability and expediting start of production. IMC is therefore now evaluating the project as a potential heap leach operation. A final decision by IMC will depend upon the results of metallurgical test work currently underway.
IMC has selected four principal consultants for the feasibility study at Gaby: Water Management Consultants Ltd of Santiago, Chile (in coordination with Call and Nicholas from Tucson Arizona) for mine water management and geotechnical issues; RSG Global of Perth, Australia for mineral resource and reserve estimations; Mine and Quarry Engineering Service ("MQes") of San Mateo, California for plant and infrastructure design and costing; and Tony Brown, an independent US-based consultant, for all metallurgical aspects. IMC management is confident that the technical ability and proven track record of the feasibility study team will ensure a high quality study that will greatly assist IMC in making a production decision, and subsequently arranging required production financing, for the Gaby project.
General
Drilling at the Gaby Project was carried out by Paragon Drilling Ecuador S.A. Sample preparation was carried out by ALS Chemex in Quito, Ecuador using standard industry practices. Analytical work was carried out by ALS Chemex in Vancouver, Canada, using conventional fire assay methods for gold. For quality control purposes, analytical standards with known metal values were included with IMC's samples and in general show good reproducibility. Duplicate analyses of selected drill-hole intervals have been sent to a second independent assay facility (CCI of Kellogg, Idaho) and results are pending. The overall drilling program was supervised by IMC's Qualified Person, Technical Manager, Nick Appleyard.
