ICS nears production of third party ore Mon Nov 24, 6:00 PM ca.news.finance.yahoo.com ABBOTSFORD, BC, Nov. 24 /CNW/ - ICS Copper Systems Ltd. (ICX: TSX-V) is continuing to advance the Mokambo project EMEW plant toward production of third party ore. To this end the Company is negotiating with ZESCO, Zambia's largest power utility to install a 4.2 kilometre 11 kV three phase powerline to ICS's EMEW plant and compound. This will provide the necessary and cost effective power to operate its EMEW plant using third party ore. If ZESCO can install the powerline in a timely manner and the EMEW plant is completed at the same time, copper production could start in early 2009. The Company remains confident that it will be able to produce copper profitably and lessen the effects of the current world financial crisis. ICS feels that by cost effectively advancing the EMEW plant and addressing its power requirements, it will be well positioned to take advantage of future increases in copper prices. The Company also wishes to announce that the 2008 annual financial statements and the MD & A documents are available on SEDAR. Additionally, the Company also wishes to announce that the NI 43-101 mineral resource technical report for the sulphide mineralization on the Mokambo property will be available on SEDAR shortly. Furthermore, Coffey Mining will release a separate report on the oxide zone mineral resource shortly.
