Infrastructure Materials Corp. - Acquisition of Arizona Limestone Properties
RENO, NV, May 10 /PRNewswire-FirstCall/ - Infrastructure Materials Corp. (NASDAQOTC-BB: Symbol IFAM) (the "Company") is pleased to announce the acquisition of mineral exploration rights for two projects in the state of Arizona, the Blye Canyon Project and the Tres Alamos Project. These projects offer a promising foothold into the Arizona and Nevada cement markets. The Blye Canyon Project includes mineral exploration permits on 3.5 sections of land totalling 2227 acres located 23 miles west of Seligman in northwest Arizona. The Tres Alamos Project includes mineral exploration permits on 14 sections of land totalling approximately 7,900 acres located 65 miles east of Tucson and 18 miles northeast of Benson, Arizona.
Assay results across 200+ surface samples collected for the Company from the Blye Canyon Project area are promising, with results in the range of cement grade limestone. The average value for calcium oxide (CaO) was 51.10% with a median of 51.47%. The average value for magnesium oxide (MgO) was 4.06% with a median of 0.11%. The average value of silica (SiO2) was 1.74% with a median of 0.16%. Mapping suggests that the limestone bed may be between 100-150 feet thick. With a rail line 4 miles north of the project area, management believes the property is well situated to reach markets in both Nevada and Arizona.
Mapping of the Tres Alamos Project area suggests the possibility of limestone deposits large enough to warrant exploration for the purpose of production. Assay results are within the range of cement grade limestone. Values obtained across the surface samples collected for the Company from the Escabrosa limestone are as follows: Calcium oxide values averaged 49.9 % with a median of 55.1 %. Silica averaged 8% with a median of 2.9%. Magnesium oxide averaged 3% with a median of 0.31%. Values across the surface samples collected for the Company from the Horquilla limestone are as follows: Calcium oxide values averaged 46.6 % with a median of 50.9 %. Silica averaged 13.9 % with a median of 8.3 %. Magnesium oxide averaged 1.5 % with a median of 0.56 %. With a railroad line approximately 12 miles to the southeast of the Tres Alamos Project, management believes it is well situated to furnish cement to Tucson and Phoenix.
Infrastructure Materials Corp. is an exploration stage mining company that is directing its efforts to the exploration and development, if warranted, of cement grade limestone deposits in strategic locations in the United States and Canada.
