TORONTO, March 30 /PRNewswire-FirstCall/ - Infrastructure Materials Corp.
(NASDAQ OTC-BB: Symbol IFAM) is pleased to announce a drill program commenced
on March 24, 2009 on the Company's Blue Nose Limestone Project, located in
Lincoln County, Nevada, approximately 70 miles north east of Las Vegas. The
drill program will consist of 5,000 vertical feet of drilling in a target area
previously identified as cement grade limestone during a geological mapping
and sampling program conducted by the Company in November, 2008.
The Company is encouraged by the initial surface results on the property and a
decision was to proceed with drill testing. As a first phase of this project,
the western portion of the property has been targeted to determine continuity
of grade and depth of the limestone body. The first drill hole (Hole BN 1) has
been completed and encountered unaltered limestone from 0-300 feet. Assay
results of surface rock samples taken from this area of the property indicate
cement grade limestone with suitable preliminary tonnage. The Project is
within eight miles of railhead in southern Nevada. In addition to encouraging
preliminary grades and tonnages, management believes the Blue Nose Project is
favourably located because of its close proximity to the Las Vegas and
California markets. Further surface definition and sampling of another large
zone located on the eastern half of this property is currently being
completed. At present, there are no producing cement properties closer to Las
Vegas than the Blue Nose limestone Project.
Work continues on the Company's other limestone projects. A drill program of
thirty-one drill holes totalling 10,000 vertical feet has been approved by the
Nevada State Office of the Bureau of Land Management for the Company's Morgan
Hill Project. Drilling is expected to commence following completion of the
Blue Nose program, which is expected in the second half of April, 2009.
The Company's recent efforts towards the development of cement grade limestone
resources are appropriately timed to meet the U.S. Federal Government's
efforts to stimulate the economy. The Obama Administration has focused on
infrastructure spending as part of its stimulus program to create new jobs and
offer much needed repair to aging U.S. infrastructure. Recently, California's
Governor Arnold Schwarzenegger, who co-founded Building America's Future, a
coalition that is pursuing a plan to spend $1.6 trillion on Federal projects
ranging from dams to high-speed rail, met with President Obama to discuss
infrastructure. Following their meeting Governor Schwarzenegger was quoted as
saying:
"Not only would greater, sustained investment in our nation's ailing
infrastructure create jobs immediately, it would also establish long-term
economic competitiveness, address our environmental needs, and enhance
the quality of life across our nation. California knows first-hand from
our Strategic Growth Plan that there are vast benefits to focusing on
infrastructure, which is why we are aggressively pushing for long-term
federal investment in our nation's infrastructure needs." (Building
America's Future Press Release March 20, 2009)
