RENO, NV, April 20 /PRNewswire-FirstCall/ - Infrastructure Materials Corp.
(NASDAQ OTC-BB: Symbol IFAM) (the "Company") is pleased to announce the
completion of the first phase of the Company's Blue Nose Limestone Project
Drill Program. The property is located in Lincoln County, Nevada,
approximately 70 miles north east of Las Vegas. Phase 1 of the drill program
consisted of 3,500 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 was encouraged by the initial surface results on the property and
a decision was made to proceed with drill testing. The western portion of the
property was targeted to determine continuity of grade and depth of the cement
grade limestone body. All ten drill holes ranged between 300 - 500 feet in
depth and encountered unaltered limestone from surface to maximum drill depth.
Assay results of surface samples taken from this area of the property indicate
cement grade limestone with suitable potential tonnage estimates. The Project
is within eight miles of railhead in southern Nevada. Assay results from the
drill program are expected within the next 30 days. At present, there are no
producing cement grade limestone properties closer to Las Vegas than the Blue
Nose limestone Project.
Work will continue on the Company's other limestone projects. A drill program
of 23 drill holes totalling 7000 vertical feet will commence April 20, 2009 on
the Morgan Hill Project.
Infrastructure Materials Corp.'s efforts toward the development of cement
grade limestone resources are appropriately timed with the United States'
infrastructure stimulus plans. A 2009 report by the American Society of Civil
Engineers ("ASCE") indicates that it will take $2.2 trillion over 5 years to
repair existing U.S. infrastructure. Looking to California and Nevada, two
states that represent one of the largest cement markets in the U.S., and the
largest potential market for the Company's developing resources, the ASCE
cited several deficiencies including:

    -   California drinking water infrastructure needs an investment of
        $27.87 billion over the next 20 years.
    -   66% of California's major roads are in poor or mediocre condition.
    -   68% of California's urban interstates are considered congested.
    -   A $13 billion dollar fast rail line project is planned between
        Los Angeles and Las Vegas.
    -   59% of Nevada's major urban highways are congested.
    -   16% of Nevada's bridges are structurally deficient or functionally
        obsolete.
    -   Nevada's transportation department has identified 10 mega projects
        costing an estimated $4.8 billion that should be completed by 2015 to
        avoid gridlock in urban areas.


The urgency toward repair of the U.S. Infrastructure has recently been
addressed by the U.S. 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.

Infrastructure Materials Corp. is an exploration stage mining company that is
directing its efforts to the development of cement grade limestone deposits in
strategic locations in the United States.
