IME Indicator Minerals Inc.

Indicator Minerals Inc. (TSX VENTURE: IME) today announced that it has received diamond results from an initial sample of the NQN-001 kimberlite located on the Nanuq North Diamond Project in Nunavut Territory, Canada.

The 1,008 kilogram sample from the NQN-001 kimberlite yielded 612 diamonds larger than 0.075 mm. The two largest stones measured 1.00 x 0.84 x 0.64 mm and 0.68 x 0.68 x 0.46 mm and both were described by the Saskatchewan Research Council Geoanalytical Laboratories ("SRC") as having an off-white color with inclusions. The sample was composed of rock taken at regular intervals from all six core holes drilled in 2010. The following table summarizes the caustic fusion diamond results from the SRC.

More than 3 tons of kimberlite material obtained from NQN-001 remain untested. Indicator believes that processing the remaining kimberlite for commercial size stones is warranted. This can be achieved using the low cost technique of Dense Media Separation. Also, kimberlite indicator mineral results from 96 till samples collected at Nanuq North in 2010 are pending. Once all of the results from the 2010 program have been received, an exploration programme will be formulated for 2011 that may include the drilling of high priority targets.

Exploration expenditures on the 33,100 hectare Nanuq North property are currently funded on a 50/50 basis by Indicator and Peregrine Diamonds Ltd. Indicator is operator of the project. More information on the Nanuq North Project is available on our website www.indicatorminerals.com.

The SRC is an independent laboratory that is accredited by the Standards Council of Canada to the ISO/IEC Guide 25 standard for diamond recovery by caustic fusion. After collection in the field, the NQN-001 drill core was shipped to Vancouver where it was logged and sampled under the supervision of senior Indicator personnel. The samples were then sealed in secure containers and shipped to the SRC under strict chain of custody protocols.

Mr. Bruce Counts, P.Geoph., President & CEO of Indicator, is a Qualified Person under NI 43-101 and is responsible for the design and execution of the programs carried out by Indicator on the Nanuq North property.
