VANCOUVER, BC / ACCESSWIRE / May 3, 2021 / IMC International Mining Corp. (CSE:IMCX)(OTCQB:IMIMF)(FRA:3MX) (the "Company" or "IMC") is pleased to update the investing public regarding the Company's planned 2021 exploration program on the Thane property, the closing of the last tranche of the Company's financing, a proposed name change to Interra Copper Corp. and a new marketing effort including a new website, rebranding and an advanced online footprint.

The Company is continuing to advance the diamond drilling, induced polarization surveys (IP), geological mapping and sampling program on its 100% owned, 206.58 square kilometer Thane property in north-central British Columbia. The 2,400 metre drill program in 8 drill holes has been designed to test high priority targets at the Cathedral Area, which were defined during last years' surface sampling and IP program. In addition to drilling, the company will also be undertaking geological mapping, sampling and IP surveying in other areas of the property, to advance known areas of copper-gold mineralization. The Company is on target to commence drilling in early July.

The Company has also applied for a permit to build a haul road from the staging area, located at the edge of the Cathedral Area, to the drill sites. The completion of a haul road will expand the available months for drilling. The property has good access to water and power.

The Company has registered and has applied to change its name to Interra Copper Corp to better reflect the dominate commodity identified on our property. All trading symbols on the CSE, Frankfurt and OTCQB exchanges will remain the same. In addition, the company has engaged a marketing company who is in the process of rebranding the company, including a new website, to better reflect the role copper is and will play in the new energy revolution to electric vehicles and energy storage.

The change of name and new website is expected to be finalized shortly after the Company closes the final tranche of its financing on or about the second week of May 2021.

Dave McMillan, Interim CEO stated: "We have identified high priority zones defined by IP chargeability highs with supporting copper and gold mineralization from both soil and rock samples, and we are excited to be able to test the depth potential of these targets by diamond drilling this summer. Our team has developed a work flow that will utilize a portable XRF with the goal of increasing the turnaround time for obtaining reliable geochemical results. Although all samples will be submitted to ALS laboratories for multi-element and gold analysis, the infield analysis will allow the company to prioritize additional drilling past the planned 8 drill holes."
