Mokambo NI 43-101 Mineral Resource Technical Report Received

Abbortsford, Canada (ots/PRNewswire)

ICS Copper
Systems Ltd. (ICX:TSX.V) is pleased to announce that the Company has
obtained a NI 43-101 compliant independent Mineral Resource Technical
Report on the sulphide mineralization at the Mokambo property,
Zambia. This resource estimate provides a useful baseline for further
exploration and development of the Mokambo property.
The following tabulation is at the "Inferred" level of
confidence, based on CIMM guidelines.
         Zone        Cut-off     Approx. Dimensions     Tonnage      Grade
         ----        -------     ------------------     -------      -----
                     (% TCu)           (m)                (MT)      (% TCu)
         Sulphide      0.75        1000 x 600 x 20        14.9        1.22
The resource estimate was completed by Ms. Kathleen Body of
Coffey Mining Limited, who is an independent qualified person under
NI 43-101 regulations. The mineral resource estimate utilized a 3D
block modelling program (Datamine V3) based on drill data consisting
of the historic sulphide holes (1929 to 1970) and the twinned
sulphide holes drilled by ICS in 2008. The modelling focused on
defining a contiguous block of mineralization, at a high grade, to
warrant additional exploration.
The specific gravity used was the historic value of 2.8.
Composite samples averaging two meters in length were calculated with
a cut-off grade of 0.75 % total copper. Although three mineralized
zones were identified, only the middle zone was used in the estimate
due to its continuous nature with respect to the wide spaced drill
holes. The mineral resource envelope was based on contiguous blocks
with greater than 0.5 % total copper, with a drill hole spacing of
less than 200 meters.
The sulphide mineral resource defines a 20 meter wide zone of
moderate to high grade material that extends to at least 600 meters
and is at the "Inferred" level of confidence, due to the wide spacing
of the drill holes. This estimate is less than the historic estimates
due to this hole-spacing, the estimation methodology and the
selection criteria used.
The Company is confident that with an in-fill and perimeter
drilling program based on a spacing grid of 50 x 50 meters, down to
350 meters, the tonnage in this area will increase. Having received
confirmation of a significant "Inferred" mineral resource, ICS Copper
now has the confidence to plan an expanded exploration programme at
the Mokambo property.
Coffey Mining will release a separate report on the oxide zone
mineral resource shortly. It is currently completing an additional
verification analysis of some of the oxide samples by a third party
laboratory. When the Company receives this resource, it will send it
to GRD Minproc for analysis as to whether the oxide mineralization
can be economically mined by open pit method.
The full NI 43-101 Technical Report will shortly be available for
viewing online at SEDAR using the following link http://www.sedar.com
Kathleen Body, Pr.Sci.Nat., of Coffey Mining and an independent
qualified person under NI 43-101, has approved the information in
this news release.
David Makepeace, P.Eng. M.Eng, a director of the Company and its
acting Chief Operating Officer, a qualified person as defined by
National Instrument 43-101, supervised the preparation of the
technical information in this news release.
President and CEO of ICS, Graham Chisholm comments; "This is
definitive confirmation of our sulphide deposit which we have
confidence will increase in tonnage with further drilling. The
separate oxide report from Coffey mining will be out shortly and will
be forwarded to GRD Minproc for their assessment as to the viability
of a small open pit mine."
