- The Company recorded a gain on foreign exchange of $127,078 during the third quarter on the translation of our international subsidiaries;
- Salaries and benefits increased during the third quarter of fiscal 2011 due to additional administration required for its property record keeping, its regulatory filings and other legal document filings;

During the first nine months of fiscal 2011 a total of 11,360,389 warrants and broker warrants and 850,000 stock options were exercised for proceeds of $1,176,313. These proceeds were used to fund the drill program on the Nivloc property and provide working capital.
The Company's working capital has increased to a deficit of $11,211 at September 30, 2011. During the quarter:
- the Company closed a private placement totaling $900,000 including: $850,000 of non-flow-through units at $0.20 per unit and $50,000 of flow-through units at $0.25 per unit. Each unit is comprised of one (1) non flow-through or flow-through common share and one (1) non flow-through or one (1) flow-through, non-transferable share purchase warrant, respectively. Each full warrant entitles the holder to purchase an additional share in the capital stock of the Company for a period of two (2) years from the date of issuance, at $0.30 per share in the first year and $0.40 per share in the second year for non-flow through warrants, and at $0.35 per share in the first year and $0.45 per share in the second year for flow through warrants;

The Company is obligated to pay an annual payment for the Nivloc property, which payment has been paid for fiscal 2011. During fiscal 2009, the Company transferred or eliminated all significant required expenditures and property payments with the Canadian Star acquisition of the High Lake and Electrum Lake, Ontario properties; the continuing Mexico joint venture; the termination of the Harrison Lake Property joint venture; and, the termination of the Jason Property Agreement.
General and Administration
Comparison of the Quarterly Results
Overall, there was a 56% increase in general and administration expenses to $110,923 in the quarter ended September 30, 2011 from $70,894 in the third quarter of fiscal 2010 and a 33% increase from $83,816 in the second quarter of fiscal 2011. There are three reasons for the increase, 1) salaries increased due to the hiring of an additional person to complete the companies property and regulatory filings; 2) promotional materials and trade shows expenses increased due to attendance at an additional trade show in the quarter; 3) the Company's filing fees increased dramatically because of increased private placements and other filings in the third quarter fiscal 2011.
The Company recorded a net income of $12,597 during the quarter ended September 30, 2011, as compared to a net loss of $(426,158) during the comparable period in fiscal 2010. The primary difference is related to the $355,624 write down of mineral properties in fiscal 2010 and a foreign exchange is fiscal 2011.

During the first nine months of fiscal 2011 accounting and legal fees decreased by $35,627 to $29,996 as compared to $65,623 during the comparable period in fiscal 2010 as a result of the legal fees incurred on the litigation on the Simon Property and legal fees incurred on investigation on new properties during fiscal 2010. Insurance costs increased in the nine month period ending September 30, 2011 to $14,322 compared to $8,215 in the comparable period in fiscal 2010 because of a new general liability policy acquired to insure the Company's work on the Nivloc, Nevada property. There was an increase in promotion and marketing costs during the first nine months of fiscal 2011 to $84,155 as compared to $52,845 during the first nine months of fiscal 2010. The increase was a result of increased trade show costs and a marketing video prepared during 2011.

Exploration Programs

Drill hole results from #1 through hole #28 have been announced by the Company and these results have been filed on SEDAR and can be reviewed on the Company's web site at www.immc.ca.
Simon Mine, Nevada Property
The Simon Mine is a former producing polymetallic mine, located in the Walker-Lane Trend south of Reno, Nevada.

Historical records of ore shipped from the 905 drift (89 rail cars) indicate average grades 12 oz Ag, 0.04 oz Au, 9% Pb, 5.7% Zn and 3% Cu. (These historic figures are considered relevant and demonstrate the potential of the property, but need to be verified by the Company). A drilling program began in February, 2010 and was completed in August, 2010. Results were reported for seven drill holes. The Company plans to carry out a phase II drill program sometime in 2012.
Management is focused on precious metal polymetallic projects in the Americas and is working towards building a strong, stable and well financed mineral exploration and small mines mining company.
