ICS Announces NI-43-101 Report on Excelsior Springs Gold Property

Abbotsford, British Columbia (ots/PRNewswire)

ICS
Copper Systems Ltd.  is pleased to announce the completion  of a NI
43-101 Technical Report on its recently acquired Excelsior Springs
gold property in Esmeralda County, Nevada.
The report concludes that based on the results of previous
drilling  programs, the Excelsior Springs property should be
considered an  advanced-stage exploration project having significant
potential to host one  or more open-pittable gold deposits.
In the past, a number of exploration companies have conducted
drilling  programs on the property, and the results have begun to
define an extensive  zone of gold mineralization. Drilling around the
Buster and Upper shafts has  outlined the Buster mineralized zone
approximately 1,000 feet-long and 200  feet-wide.
The report also advises: "There is an Historic, non 43-101
compliant,  resource estimate in the Buster zone of 2 million tons at
a grade of 0.05 to 0.09 oz Au/ton (100,000 ounces to 180,000 ounces).
Drill holes several  thousand feet away from the Buster zone have
intersected zones of anomalous  gold along the east-west extensions
of the alteration zone. This mineral  inventory for the property was
calculated prior to NI 43-101 reporting  standards and does not meet
the criteria for NI 43-101 categories. It is  presented here as an
item of historical interest and should not be construed  as being
representative of an actual Mineral Resource existing on the
property." A qualified person has not done sufficient work to
classify the  historical estimate as current mineral resources; the
issuer is not treating  the historical estimate as current mineral
resources as defined in  sections 1.2 and 1.3 of NI-43-101; and the
historical estimate should not  be relied upon.
Some of the drill hole data in appendix C of the report is as
follows:
    DH No.      From/ft    To/ft       Thick      gm Au/t
    TA-11       0'         50          50'        1.52
    88-06       0'         90          90'        2.49
    EX-2        230'       340         110'       2.74
    EX-30       235'       395         160'       1.24
    Appendix E of the report provides details of surface samples from the
    past and from Sept 2010 with some higher grades as follows:
    Sample     UTME        UTMN        ppbAu      g/tAu
    1          446409      4147183     13750      13.7
    2          446430      4147163     17650      17.7
    5          446248      4147171     18700      18.7
    6          446276      4147187     20200      20.2
    115        445816      4147151     14300      14.3
    91508      446673      4147068     20664      20.7
The property lies within the Walker Lane, a zone of
regional-scale,  northwest-trending, strike-slip faulting. The Walker
Lane hosts a significant  number of precious metal deposits including
the Comstock Lode at Virginia  City, Borealis, Aurora, Mineral Ridge,
Paradise Peak, Rawhide, Tonopah,  Goldfield and the Bullfrog
District.
The Borealis mine is located ten miles west of Hawthorne, Nevada,
and  during production from 1981 until 1990 produced over 600,000
ounces of gold  and has a current resource of 1.3 million ounces of
gold. The structural  trends and structural control of the
mineralization of the Borealis deposit make it a suitable model for
the Excelsior Springs property, and successfu l exploration
techniques utilized at Borealis can be applied at Excelsior  Springs.
Recommendations: The report recommends a two-phased exploration
program  for the property. Phase One will comprise mapping, sampling,
a CSMT and  IP geophysical survey and a 15-hole drilling program to
better define the  Buster zone and to test for extensions of the
zone. If Phase One is  successful in confirming the continuity of the
Buster zone mineralization  or discovering mineralization in the
extensions of the zone, a Phase Two  program will be initiated. Phase
Two will comprise additional CSMT and IP  surveys and a 30-hole
drilling program. If Phase Two is successful, a new  43-101 report
will be prepared with a mineral resource for the property  and a
recommendation for a multi-rig drilling program to expand the
mineralized zones into a measured and indicated resource. The goal
will be  to define a deposit amenable to open-pit mining methods and
a heap-leach  recovery system.
The Phase One drilling budget is estimated to be USD 353,460
while Phase  Two is estimated to be USD 643,714.
President and CEO Graham Chisholm comments: "We intend to
complete a  geologic map of the property and do extensive sampling of
the altered zones  and old workings this year. Compilation and
evaluation of the surface and  assay data will allow us to select
fifteen drill sites to test the Buster  zone and its extensions."
