Stillwater aint going to be able to breath soon IDO will have everything outside of state road access and the existing mine claim Idaho Consolidated acquires acreage near Stillwater Idaho Consolidated Metals Corp IDO Shares issued 9,434,650 Jul 13 close $0.30 Thu 15 Jul 99 News Release Mr. Del Steiner reports Idaho Consolidated Metals has acquired approximately 700 acres by staking an additional 35 claims near Stillwater, Mont. The claims are six miles east of the main stem of the Stillwater River in the Stillwater complex in Montana. This block of 35 claims is adjacent to the claims staked earlier by ICMC (NR9911) and is also adjacent to claims patented by Stillwater Mining Company along the JM reef in the area of Black Butte Mountain and Fishtail Creek. The property adjoins Stillwater's patented ground on the east side and crosses Fishtail Creek. The claims cover up to 2.5 miles of the projected extension of the JM reef, predominately under glacial gravels. The projected strike of the JM Reef is bounded on the southeast by a southerly dipping thrust fault and is in contact with a granitic intrusive. The 26-mile-long JM reef is host to the Stillwater mine operated by Stillwater Mining Co., which according to Stillwater's 1998 annual report, produced 450,000 ounces of platinum and palladium in 1998. With the inclusion of this fourth block of claims ICMC increases its exploration potential in the Stillwater complex, which hosts the only primary producer of platinum and palladium in North America. This property will complement ICMC's previously announced three major properties in the Stillwater complex, two of which are approximately 13 miles to the northwest along the strike of the PGE mineralization. The two properties to the west comprise the Chrome Mountain and Picket Pin properties held by ICMC. The Picket Pin is a known platinum and palladium horizon parallel two miles north of the JM reef. ICMC's claims control 12 miles of the Picket Pin strike. Although the three properties are not contiguous, they were carefully selected based on geologic criteria to maximize the potential for PGE mineralization. This staking brings the total number of claims in the Stillwater complex to over 600. An exploration program consisting of mapping and sampling along the favourable horizons has commenced and results will be released as they come available.
