IEMR Update for Current Exploration Program at Pine Tree
05 March 2011 - 8:28AM
Marketwired
IEMR Resources Inc. (IEMR) (TSX VENTURE: IRI) is pleased to report
that drilling is proceeding according to plan on its Pine Tree
Property located in Nevada. Two drills are currently drilling on
the property with three holes having been completed to date.
The $2.2 million budget exploration program is designed to
complete up to 15,000 feet of diamond drilling in approximately 8
holes, which will be used to expand and further delineate the
extensive molybdenum, copper, silver and gold mineralization
identified in previous drill holes. Initially, the drilling will be
concentrated in the northeastern block, where the presence of
molybdenum bearing mineralization closer to surface was confirmed
from pre-drilling.
To date all holes have encountered three different types of
mineralization, corresponding to the three distinct mineralizing
events identified on the property. These are the older copper
bearing calc-silicate skarn replacement, the molybdenum bearing
stockwork and the younger precious-base metal bearing systems.
Hole PT10-22 intersected the molybdenum bearing mineralized zone
between 170.1 meters (558 feet) and 371.2 meters (1218 feet), and
lead-zinc bearing mineral veins between 316.4 meters (1038 feet)
and 319.4 meters (1048 feet), and zinc bearing mineral veins at
389.5 meters (1278 feet) and 395.6 meters (1298 feet).
Hole PT10-23 intersected molybdenum bearing mineralized zone
between 213.4 meters (700 feet) and 420.6 meters (1380 feet), and a
second zone between 551.7 meters (1810 feet) and 582.2 meters (1910
feet). Copper mineralized zone(calc_silicate skarn) was intersected
between 597.4 meters (1960 feet) and 637.0 meters (2090 feet).
Several zones of arsenopyrite veins were intersected throughout out
the hole crosscutting the molybdenum mineralization observed.
Finally a zone of heavy fine black sulphides was encountered
between 655.3 meters (2150 feet) and 658.4 meters (2160 feet), both
lead and zinc sulphides were visible in this zone.
Hole PT10-24 was just completed (March 1) and geological
analysis and sampling is still on going. It too has intersected al
three styles of mineralization. As has PT10-25 which is still
drilling to a target depth of 701 meters (2300 feet).

Hole PT10-22, 23 and 24 are located due east of hole PT07-12,
which assayed 335.9 meters (1102.0 feet) grading 1.14% Cu Eq.
(0.101% MoS2 eq., 1.81 lbs MoO3/T). Hole PT10-25 is still
progressing, drilling to the northeast, from the same location at
PT07-12. Finally, Hole PT10-26 is being drilled to the north of the
high grade silver intersection obtained in hole PT08-19 that
intersected 10.4 meters (34.0 feet) grading 0.834% copper, 1252.2
gms silver/tonne (36.5 oz/ton), and 0.33% tungsten at the south end
of the mineralized zone. The remaining holes in the program will be
located based on the results and interpretation of the initial
holes.
Almost the entire core was sampled and cut in half using a
diamond saw. Half the core is sent for analysis with the other half
being kept and stored at the core facility located on site.
Following cutting the samples are picked up directly by o ALS
Chemex and taken to their fully accredited analytical laboratory in
Reno. They are first analyzed for 47 elements using a four(4) acid
digestion with analysis by Inductively Coupled Argon Plasma Optical
Mass Spectrometer (ICP-MS) and for gold using a 50 gram fire assay
with an Atomic Absorption(AA) finish. Copper and Molybdenum bearing
samples are then checked by using a larger 5 gram sample and
analyzed using a pressed power pellet X-Ray Fluorescence
Spectroscopy (XRF). In addition duplicates, blanks, and standards
are analyzed to ensure analytical accuracy and reproducibility. All
rejects are being kept for further analysis and for use in
metallurgical testing.
Assay results will be released once all check assaying and
sampling is complete.
Once the drilling is completed the results will be used to
calculate a 43-101 compliant resource for the project, the results
of which will be used to control additional drilling and
development of the project.
