ICS Copper Systems Ltd Commences Drilling of the Mokambo Mine, Copperbelt District, Republic of Zambia

Abbotsford, Canada (ots/PRNewswire)

ICS COPPER SYSTEMS LTD.
(ICX:TSX.V) is pleased to announce that the 2007 Oxide copper
drilling program is underway at the Mokambo Mine, 15 kilometers
northeast of Mufulira in the famous Copperbelt District of the
Republic of Zambia.
The Mokambo Mine is under a joint venture agreement between ICS
Copper Systems Ltd. (the operator) and North Western Plant Hire Ltd
(a private Zambian company). The 2007 drill program, expected to
extend over 6 months, will delineate the oxide copper mineralized cap
that is prevalent in all the Copperbelt mines. The oxide cap at the
Mokambo Mine has not been defined by drilling. The main lithologic
sequence to be explored under the current drill program will be the
Lower Roan Series rocks. These rocks historically have hosted the
majority of the copper in the mines throughout the Copperbelt. The
secondary focus will be the Upper Roan Series rocks. It is known that
this stratigraphic unit, in the Mufulira Syncline, contains cobalt
mineralization.
An estimated 10,300 meters of NWT and BWT sizes of core will be
drilled in approximately 115 shallow (100 meters) holes over the
entire length of the concession. The flooded 1975 exploration shaft
will supply water for the drill and for domestic use. The shaft will
eventually be pumped out and utilized as an escapeway and ventilation
shaft when the sulphide copper mineralization is mined using
underground mining methods.
After the near surface mineralization is defined, and tonnages and
grades are confirmed, it will be extracted by the open pit method and
metallurgically treated using EMEW electrowinning technology which
has been successfully demonstrated by ICS in the Democratic Republic
of Congo over the last two years.
