Work by the Raw Materials Characterization Laboratory at Trinity College Dublin
on the distribution of precious metals at IMC's Avoca deposit and Kilmacoo gold
prospect in Ireland continues
IMC, in association with the Raw Materials Characterization Laboratory at
Trinity College Dublin, is continuing studies on the precious metals to be
found at IMC's wholly-owned Avoca deposit and Kilmacoo gold prospect in Co.
Wicklow, Ireland. The collaboration between the Raw Materials Research Group at
Trinity College Dublin and IMC was announced on 24th September 2019. The aim of
the continuing work is further to characterise the form and distribution of
gold to assess the extent of syn-tectonic enrichment during the Caledonian
Orogeny. IMC's project represents an opportunity to apply a state-of-the-art
microanalytical approach to a major, historical deposit which has significant
exploration upside. The study is refining the understanding of metal zonation
and sulphide paragenesis within the Avoca orebodies and Kilmacoo Au prospect
and it will allow the development of a robust mineral deposit model for gold
mineralisation across the Avoca District in particular and South-East Ireland
in general.
The project will contribute important mineral chemical data on sulphide phases
hosting gold, benefiting exploration and supporting future metallurgical work
on the mineralisation at Avoca and Kilmacoo.
Eamon O'Brien commented, "It is significant that our Kilmacoo project at Avoca,
Co. Wicklow is being worked on by the Raw Materials Characterization Laboratory
of Trinity College Dublin. The presence of an inferred resource of gold,
silver, lead, copper and zinc in the Avoca spoils' and tailings' project has
already been set out in IMC's Mineral Resource Estimate ("MRE") announced on
11th September 2019, which was prepared in accordance with the JORC Code
(2012). The MRE is of great significance to IMC, with the gold estimate alone
coming in at 20,000 ozs. The microanalytical approach will also benefit and
support our forthcoming metallurgical testing."
This regulatory release has been approved by Eur Geol Professor Garth Earls,
PGeo, FSEG, who is an independent consulting geologist and a Competent Person
as defined in the JORC 2012 reporting code.
