IMC International Mining Corp. Completes Acquisition of Thane Minerals Inc.
Purchase Consideration
As consideration for the Acquisition, IMC has issued to the former shareholders of Thane (the "Vendors") an aggregate of $2-million CAD worth of common shares in the capital of IMC, at a deemed price of $0.38 per common share, for a total of 5,263,158 IMC shares (the "IMC Shares"). The IMC Shares will be escrowed and released over a 36-month period.
In addition to the foregoing, if, through additional exploration programs, a resource calculation of at least 800,000,000lbs of copper-equivalent, as determined based on a National Instrument 43-101 (Standards of Disclosure for Mineral Projects) ("NI 43-101") compliant resource estimate, is determined to be indicated within the Cathedral prospect area, then IMC will issue an additional aggregate of $2-million CAD worth of common shares (or cash in lieu, at IMC's option) to the Vendors.

(NUAG) and was the Founding Project Consultant and/or Founding Director of seven public and private Exploration/Development ventures (Brohm Mining, Dayton Mining, Nevsun Resources, Banro Resource Corp., Tagish Lake Gold Corp., African Gold Group, Yellowhead Mining Inc.) and has participated in or been responsible for the definition of at least one resource/reserve in every case, with six of those cases resulting in production in the USA, Chile, Ghana, Mali and DRC. These ventures collectively have accounted for over $2.1 billion in market cap at the companies' respective peaks.
In 1990 Mr. Hawkins co-founded CME Consulting Ltd., an international full service consultancy and contracting firm that has served over 100 clients in 25 countries and has employed over 3000 people.
