International Minerals Corp. / Key word(s): Forecast 20.09.2013 00:03 Release of an ad hoc announcement pursuant to Art. 53 KR --------------------------------------------------------------------------- NEWS RELEASE International Minerals Provides Gemfield Permitting Update and Earnings Guidance for the Fiscal Year Ended June 30, 2013 Scottsdale, Arizona, September 19, 2013 - International Minerals Corporation (Toronto and Swiss stock exchanges 'IMZ': the 'Company' or 'IMZ') provides an update with respect to the status of permitting progress at the Gemfield project in Nevada and, in addition, the Company provides guidance on its financial results for the fiscal year ended June 30, 2013 ('FY 2013'). The Company expects to release its financial results for FY 2013 after the close of markets on Monday, September 30, 2013. At the 100%-owned Gemfield project, which is part of the Goldfield property in southern Nevada, the Company has received written confirmation from the US Bureau of Land Management (the 'BLM'), that the Company's Mine Plan of Operations ('MPO') is accepted as administratively complete. Acceptance of the MPO is an important milestone in initiating the Environmental Impact Statement ('EIS') process, as well as state and federal permitting. The expected time frame for this process, based on guidance from the BLM, is approximately 18 months. For FY 2013, the Company expects to report a net and comprehensive loss, after tax, of approximately $11.0 million compared to net and comprehensive income, after tax, of $4.8 million for the prior fiscal year ended June 30, 2012. The $11.0 million loss for FY 2013 was primarily a result of a combination of $23.8 million in write-downs and exit costs related to the Ecuadorian discontinued operations and total expenses of $8.4 million (including $1.9 million of exploration property write-downs), offset by income from the Pallancata Mine of $20.5 million and other miscellaneous income of $0.5 million. All dollar amounts in this news release are reported in US Dollars, unless otherwise noted.
