iMetal Resources Inc. acquires the Ghost Mountain Property in Kirkland Lake, Ontario,
on the gold-prolific Destor-Porcupine Fault
iMetal Resources Inc. (IMR – tsxv) (IMR or the company) is pleased to announce it has acquired
the Ghost Mountain property, consisting of seven claim units (eleven square kilometers) of land,
straddling the gold-prolific Destor-Porcupine Structure in Kirkland Lake, Ontario.
The Destor-Porcupine gold camp is one of the most prolific gold mining districts in North America,
with past production exceeding 70 million ounces of gold. Mining and exploration have been going
on in this district since gold was first discovered near Timmins in 1907. The structure and related
gold deposits occur in structurally controlled Archean lode gold deposits. This major
metallogenetic feature is developed within the Archean Abitibi sub -province of the Superior
province, northern Ontario. The Ghost Mountain property in Kirkland Lake is contiguous on three
sides by Kirkland Lake Gold (KL – tsx), only a few hundred meters North from their Lightval target,
and proximal to its multi-million-ounce gold production facilities in the Kirkland Lake area.
An excerpt from the December 12, 2016, Kirkland Lake Gold (KL-tsx) news release stated:
“The Company has also decided to transition the Holloway Mine, part of the Holt Mine
Complex in Northeastern Ontario, Canada , to care and maintenance due to limited
economic viability. The majority of the workforce will be reassigned to the nearby Kirkland
Lake operations, effectively replacing external contractors. The Company will continue to
conduct aggressive surface exploration drill programs in 2017, which will progressively
step further west of the Holloway shaft, an area which has historically remained under
explored. Drilling will focus on testing the mafic volcanic / ultramafic volcanic contact to
the north, and will also target the westerly strike extension of the Lightning a nd Middle
zones (which were previously mined at Holloway). Further west of the Holloway deposit,
drilling is underway at Lightval, and is planned for the Harker West target, as the Company
continues to explore for another Lightning Zone style mineralizatio n in the area. KL Gold
will maintain the site in a production ready state with the intent of restarting the operation
in the future with meaningful and enhanced economics.”
The Ghost Mountain property lies between – and west of the above described KL Go ld targets.
iMetal Resources Inc. is in the planning stage of a comprehensive exploration program to fully
test the potential of the property; details of which will be reported shortly. The Ghost Mountain
property became available for location during the acquisition of St. Andrew Goldfields by Kirkland
Lake Gold in November 2015. These claims were immediately staked by iMetal Resources
Advisory Board Member, Tom O’Connor, and subsequently optioned to the company.
The Option agreement to acquire the Ghost Mountain property from Tom O’Connor (“Vendor”) is
as follows:
1. Vendor will receive $25,000 upon signing of a Definitive Agreement.
2. Vendor will receive a second payment of $25,000 on the one year anniversary of
the signing of a Definitive Agreement.

Agreement and an additional 750,000 shares on the one year anniversary of the
closing of a Definitive Agreement for a total of 1,500,000 shares.
4. A 3% NSR is payable to the Vendor of the transaction, of which IMR can buy back

a Definitive Agreement.
