Mokambo Project Sulphide Drill Program has Commenced

Abbotsford, Canada (ots/PRNewswire) - Sulphide Drill
Program

----------------------

The company is pleased to announce that the first hole testing
sulphide mineralization at Mokambo Copper Property in Zambia's Copper
Belt has been completed in the area of the sulphide historic
estimate. A NI 43- 101 Technical Report on the Mokambo Property,
prepared in part by David Makepeace, M.Eng., P.Eng., a director of
the Company and its acting Chief Operating Officer, who is a
qualified person as defined by NI 43-101, states that the work by
prior operators had generated a Sulphide Historical Indicated
Estimate of 12 million tonnes grading 1.72 % total copper and a
Sulphide Historical Inferred Estimate of 12 millions tonnes grading
1.47 % total copper (Geomin, 1976). No cobalt assaying was recorded
in the historical drill logs the Company has acquired and hence were
not part of the generated historic estimate. The Company advises
that a qualified person has not done sufficient work to classify the
historical estimates as current mineral resources and ICS is not
treating the historical estimates as current mineral resources, and
that the historical estimates should not be relied upon (NI 43-101,
Sec 1, 4.2 (2b)).

Oxide Drill Program

-------------------

The Company's shallow (120 meter) drill program, testing the
near surface, oxidized portion of the Mokambo mineralization is
nearing completion. The Company plans to compile all the drill and
geological data in order to produce a NI 43-101 Technical Report on
this portion of the program.

This news release includes a map identifying the shallow holes
that have been drilled over the property which is overlaid by
contours illustrating total copper mineralization identified by
assays to-date. While it is not yet possible to determine the total
potential of the shallow mineralization, it can be noted however
that a thicker than expected "transition zone" has been located
below the oxide zone. To view map please access following link:

The transition zone is composed of chalcocite and bornite with
malachite on fractures and a minor amount of chalcopyrite. ICS plans
to determine if a continuous vat leach process can be used to
process the oxide mineralization. The Company will also run a series
of preliminary metallurgical tests on the transition zone material
that has been intersected by the drilling to determine its leach
characteristics. If the results indicate good recovery of the
chalcocite and bornite, the transition zone might be added to the
evaluation of the oxide material.

Graham Chisholm, President and CEO comments "We hope to be able
to move the historic sulphide inferred "estimate" on the Mokambo
Property into a NI 43-101 compliant resource category as well as
report further on the oxide cap within the near future."

David Makepeace, P.Eng. M.Eng, a director of the Company and its
acting Chief Operating Officer, a qualified person as defined by
National Instrument 43-101, supervised the preparation of the
technical information in this news release.
