Exploration Programs
Upon finalization of the Nivloc Property Option & Joint Venture Agreement with SRC, the Company initiated a drilling program on the Nivloc Property. Thirty-seven (37) drill holes, totaling approximately 10,500 metres have been completed to April 5, 2012. Subject to securing further financings, the Company will continue its exploration programs on the Nivloc property, as set out in the Company's NI43-101 Technical Report dated July 31, 2012, which can be found on at www.sedar.com or the Company's website www.immc.ca. During the year ended December 31, 2014, the Company wrote off the carrying amount of the exploration and evaluation assets on the Simon Property in Nevada and its Wild Goose Property in British Columbia, due to a lack of formal plans to work on the properties.
Transaction with Elephant Copper Ltd.
Despite the challenging trading conditions, the business combination transaction (the "Transaction") to acquire all of the issued and outstanding ordinary shares of Elephant Copper Ltd., has made a significant amount of progress in recent months. The conditions precedent, as set out in the letter of intent of December 24, 2013, have all been met. As a result, the Share Exchange Agreement (the "SEA") that underpins the Transaction has been finalised and was circulated for signature on May 21, 2015. Management are confident that once due process has been followed by each of the respective parties to the SEA, the SEA will be signed and the Transaction will be concluded. In the meantime, each of IMMC and Elephant's management teams has begun the process of readying the respective companies for a planned listing in the window period between July 15, 2015 and August 31, 2015.
Cease Trade Order
Further to its May 1, 2015, news release, a cease trade order (the "Cease Trade Order") was issued to the Company by the British Columbia Securities Commission on May 11, 2015, due to the Company failing to file its annual audited financial statements, management's discussion and analysis and CEO and CFO certificates for the period ending December 31, 2014 (collectively, the "Audited Financial Statements"), on or before April 30, 2015, as prescribed by National Instrument 51-102 - Continuous Disclosure Obligations ("NI 51-102"). Under the terms of the Cease Trade Order, all trading in the Company's securities has been suspended by the TSX Venture Exchange (the "TSX-V").
Furthermore, the Company announces that the Company was not able to file its interim financial statements, management's discussion and analysis and CEO and CFO certificates (collectively, the "Interim Financial Statements") on April 30, 2015, as prescribed by NI 51-102. The Company anticipates the filing of its Interim Financial Statements on or before June 15, 2015. The Company will file a reinstatement application to the TSX V upon filing its Interim Financial Statements.
The Company confirms that there are no insolvency proceedings against it as at the date of this news release. The Company further confirms that there is no other material information concerning the affairs of the Company that has not been generally disclosed as at the date hereof.
