iMetal Resources Inc. Expands Zone 3 Quartz Stockwork with assays up to 10.71g/mt gold and

0.50% copper and documents 0.68% cobalt from historic trenches at Gowganda West, Ontario.

iMetal Resources Inc. (IMR – tsxv) (“IMR” or the company) is pleased to announce assay results from its

ongoing winter exploration program at Gowganda West in Northern Ontario.

Prospecting in the vicinity of Zone 3A has expanded the high-grade gold-copper quartz vein stockwork for

70 meters towards Zone 3B . The vein system consists of up to 2-meter-wide veins. Additional historic

trenches discovered in the area provide additional evidence for the extension of Zone 3A stockwork

towards Zone 3B for at least 300 meters. Mineralization in the stockwork is consistent and characterized

by disseminated chalcopyrite with malachite stain and pyrite. Gold and copper assays from channel

samples collected from the extension have maximum values of up to 10.71g/Mt gold over 0.5 meters and

0.50% copper over 0.3 -meters from eight samples. Results from this latest round of sampling are

summarized in Table 1 below. The close correspondence between the recommended values for the

standards in Table 1 with those received from the assay laboratory indicate the assays are accurate. The

close correspondence between the recommended values for the standards in Table 1 with those received

from the assay laboratory indicate the assays are accurate.

In the Mosher Lake area IMR is in the process of assessing mineralization exposed in historic trenches in

this area. Limited grab sampling documents up to 0.68% cobalt. Further work is planned to appreciate the

nature of the cobalt mineralization in these trenches and will be reported upon in future news releases.

The winter program at Gowganda is ongoing with prospecting, channel and rock sampling. Geophysics

(induced polarization) and drill permits to assess the Zone 3 mineralization in three dimensions will also

be submitted this week to the MDON. Access to the Zone 3 area has been facilitated by a recently

constructed winter road built to assist timbering. This road also provides access to the Company’s Zone 1

and Zone 4 target area.

Results from the upcoming spring program will be released upon receipt in Company press releases.
