INTERNATIONAL MILLENNIUM
ENCOURAGED BY FAVOURABLE GOLD & COPPER MMI RESULTS AT HOPE LAKE,
ONTARIO
North Vancouver, B.C. - International Millennium Mining
Corp's ("IMMC" or the "Company") (TSX-V: IMI) announces
that results of its 2008 mobile metal ion (MMI) soil geochemistry survey,
as reported by David G. Mark P.Geo, of Geotronics Consulting Inc. the
Company's NI 43-101 qualified person in charge of the project, reveal a
strong gold anomaly together with a significant copper anomaly on the
Company's Hope Lake gold property located southeast of Kenora, Ontario.
The survey, carried out between May and August 2008, was undertaken to
determine the response of MMI to known gold mineralization at the Porphyry
Lake Showing, which is one of three gold showings on the 109 claim unit
property. The strongest and widest (100 meters) part of the anomaly occurs
to the east of the Porphyry Lake Showing and reaches a high value of 57 ppb
Au, which Mr. Mark describes as very high for an MMI gold value. This 100
meter wide zone may be reflecting one wide zone or up to three parallel
zones of gold mineralization.
Other interesting features of the gold anomaly are that an additional
parallel zone occurs immediately to the south and secondly, an arm of the
anomaly strikes a minimum 1,000 meters to the west toward the Mushkasu Lake
Showing. This may be the eastern extension of the Mushkasu Lake Showing.
The copper anomaly occurs to the north of the main part of the principal
anomaly and a nickel anomaly occurs to the south. Both, anomalies may be
related to the gold mineralization.
The three gold showings on the Hope Lake property are the Grand
Chibougamu, the Mushkasu Lake and the Porphyry Lake. All three are thought
to occur within structurally controlled shear zones with intense carbonate
alteration and silica flooding, as well as associated sulphide
mineralization. The Hope Lake claims themselves lie within a wedge of
Archean metavolcanic rocks that is located between the Atikwa and Dryberry
granitic batholiths.
Further work is recommended, including a continuation of the MMI survey
to the west to cover the Mushkasu Lake Showing and infill 50 meter MMI
survey lines in the area of the main part of the principal anomaly. Induced
polarization (IP) and resistivity surveys are recommended across the MMI
anomalies in order to help determine depths and drill targets, to be followed
by diamond drilling on the northern part of the principal anomaly with
drill collars to be determined by the follow-up MMI and IP surveys. A
complete copy of the report is available on IMMC's web site (www.immc.ca).
