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.
