ICS Copper Drills 40.9 Meters of 1.10% Cu and 16.0 Meters of 1.56% Cu at the Mokambo Property

Abbotsford, British Columbia (ots/PRNewswire) - ICS Copper
Systems Ltd. (ICX:TSX.V) is pleased to announce that the Company has
obtained important assays and widths from the sulphide twinning
confirmation diamond drill program which is now completed. The latest
results show that hole m-08-s-04 intersected 40.9 meters true
thickness of 1.10% total copper and hole m-08-s-05 intersected 16.0
meters true thickness of 1.56% total copper.

To confirm that the historic mineral estimate was accurate and to
bring the estimate into a NI 43-101 compliant mineral resource, ICS
re-sampled the same historic sulphide drill holes that were twinned.
The re-sampled new assay results show a very good correlation to the
historic assay results as illustrated below.

The first table illustrates a few selected mineralized zones in
each drill hole, for direct comparison of the historic assays and the
re-sampled assays (A H Knight Labs, Kitwe, Zambia, 2008).

The second table illustrates the statistical analysis, for all
the intersections, for each hole, in the resampling program. The low
variance and a small standard deviation confirm the good correlation
between the current assays and assays that were done over 50 years
ago using the same intersections of core.

Sulphide Twin Drill Program

The twinned hole drill sites were chosen not only to confirm the
largest defined areas of mineralization but to confirm the other
mineralization along strike (+ 3,400 meters) over the property.

The 5 hole sulphide twinning program results are now complete and
again the assay results compare well with the historical drill
results. Direct assay comparison with respect to lithology or depth
within the hole is difficult, due to hole deflections in the historic
and twinned holes that subsequently vary the depth and the lithologie
thicknesses. Indirect comparison shows however, highly anomalous
mineralized zones that are equivalent within those lithologies. In
several holes, the mineralized intersections were thicker than the
historic sulphide holes due to previous operators not sampling all
mineralization in the core.

This hole was abandoned due to extremely high hydraulic pressure
from an intersected aquifer just as the hole was intersecting the
mineralization.

These results are very encouraging as it confirms the historic
sulphide mineralization identified by previous operators not only
exists but that it covers a strike length across the entire
concession. RSG Global, a subsidiary of Coffey Mining is presently
auditing these results as part of their requirements under NI 43-101
as they prepare to undertake a new mineral resource calculation and
subsequent Technical Report.

Oxide Copper Drill Program

ICS is also pleased to announce that the shallow (100 meter) grid
drill program covering the property is now complete. Assay results
are pending but will be fast tracked so that they can be included in
RSG Global's mineral resource estimation and subsequent Technical
Report.

It is anticipated that the report will be finalized by mid to
late August so that GRD Minproc can economically evaluate the Mokambo
Property.

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.

President and CEO of ICS, Graham Chisholm comments: "The sulphide
drill program corroborates the historical assays and the results
above speak for themselves. We are pleased with these drilling
results and we look forward to receiving the NI 43-101 Technical
Report being prepared by Coffey Mining."
