"IMMC has made significant progress on the Nivloc property to date and we look forward to advancing our programs over the next couple of years, with the intent of putting the mine back into production."
The Company is planning a drill program designed to reduce drill hole spacing and to confirm the continuity of the mineralization included in the Inferred Mineral Resource estimate, as well as carrying out a step out drilling program to confirm the extension of the mineralized zone to the Northeast and to the Southwest, as well as at depth.
