IMP MINE PLAN
IMP has created a mine plan for Site B, which is a 1 km long vein zone featuring two veins with a projected 1.9 million metric tons of ore. Current assays from a 2,500 metric ton sample shipment acquired from the mine (see Operations Activities video), indicate metal content is likely in the range of 25% of combined Lead and Zinc. This single pit will thus be sufficient Ore to meet the 1.7 million metric ton requirement for the first three years of Concentrate sales operations plus the first year of Smelter operations. See Drilling for information about the three other identified vein zones and the surface potential of the Anomaly, which combined resource estimate is around 12 million metric tons of Ore.
PLANNING FOCUS
IMP has developed comprehensive planning for three key areas of activity:
I. Exploring (borehole drilling and analysis) the IMP concession resource with JORC compliant methodology
II. Developing the infrastructure for mining and concentrate production at the mine
III. Building a co-located Lead Smelting & Purification Plant and Zinc Smelting & Purification Plant
