Cup Lake
Montoro entered into a Property Acquisition Agreement that facilitates
IMT's acquisition of a 100% interest in the Cup Lake/Donen Uranium
deposit located in the Greenwood Mining Division in south-central
British Columbia.
Previous exploration programs outlined two mineralized areas at
Cup Lake/Donen.
As reported in B.C. Government—Minfiles work prior to 1980
consisted of a total of 5,486 metres of diamond drilling, geological
mapping and testing. The deposit has been described as miocene fluvial
sediments underlying the basalts, unconsolidated, interbedded arkosic
sandstones, siltstones, carbonaceous mudstones, and basal conglomerates.
These sediments occur as structurally controlled ‘paleochannels’,
which are host to Uranium deposits. This work was carried out for
the Power Reactor and Nuclear Fuel Development Corporation of Japan.
The northern mineralized zone reportedly measures about 1500 by
500 metres with an average reported grade of 0.042 per cent Uranium
over an average thickness of 1.8 metres; the southern zone measures
about 1500 by 150 metres with an average reported grade of 0.024
percent Uranium over a 0.7 metre thickness. B.C. Government Assessment
Report #8105, reports total drill indicated reserves estimated to
be 2.25 million tonnes grading 0.0373 per cent Uranium to yield
840,000 kilograms or 1,851,000 pounds of Uranium (2,178,000 pounds
of U308).
The resource estimates cited above predates and therefore
does not conform to the more stringent reporting requirements of
National Instrument 43-101 and should not be relied upon according
to those standards. IMT has not yet done exploration work to verify
or classify the historical estimates as a current mineral resource
and the Company is not treating the historical estimates as a current
mineral reserve or resource.
The Cup Lake/Donen Uranium deposit occurs within a northwest trending
paleochannel. The claims hosting the Cup Lake/Donen Uranium deposit
adjoin to the northwest the claims hosting the Blizzard uranium
deposit. Boss Gold International Corp. (“BOG.H”) recently
announced a $105 million acquisition of the Blizzard Uranium deposit
from Santoy Resources Ltd. (“SAN”) and various private
individuals. The Blizzard Uranium deposit 1979 feasibility was the
result of 21,184 metres of drilling in 478 reverse circulation and
diamond drill holes completed on the deposit. Kilborn Engineering
issued an engineering feasibility study in August 1979, based on
the extensive drilling and engineering studies on behalf of a joint
venture comprising Norcen Energy Resources, Lacana Mining Corporation,
Campbell Chibougamau Mines, E& B Explorations and Ontario Hydro.
The Cup Lake Property Acquisition Agreement provides for the acquisition
of nine (9) additional mineral claims and settles any rights to
the Ballistic claims previously acquired, with the total claim area
now comprising eleven (11) contiguous claim blocks totalling 1026
hectares.
The terms of the Agreement provide that IMT will issue a total
of 6.0 million common shares in stages annually up to December 1,
2008, with the first 2.0 million shares within ten days of TSX acceptance
for filing of this Agreement; a total of $1.0 million in cash payments
staged annually up to December 1, 2009, with the first $250,000
upon TSX acceptance for filing of the Agreement with a further $250,000
on the earlier of the closing of IMT’s first major financing
in excess of $1 million following acceptance for filing of this
Agreement, or December 1, 2010.
IMT has agreed to expend up to $800,000 in exploration and development
expenditures in stages over four years to December 1, 2010. IMT
earns an interest in the Cup Lake/Donen uranium deposit in stages
upon the completion of share issuances, cash payments and exploration
expenditures with its first 25% interest to be earned by December
1, 2007. Upon a positive feasibility study being issued on a Uranium
deposit within an area described in the Agreement, IMT will pay
a further $1,000,000 in cash or shares at the option of IMT, at
a price based on the 30 trading day closing price average preceding
the day of the feasibility study completion. A royalty has been
reserved in favour of the vendors, Anthony Beruschi and three private
B.C. companies, and Mr. Beruschi has retained the marketing rights
to Uranium produced from the Cup Lake/Donen Uranium deposits.
IMT believes that the historical estimates provide a favourable
indication of the potential of the Cup Lake/Donen Uranium deposit,
and intends to embark on an extensive due diligence exploration
program, and will be commissioning a NI 43-101 Report immediately.
IMT is excited about the potential of the area in light of the
successful, extensive prior amount of exploration and looks forward
to further developing its properties along with others in the area.
