Indicator Minerals Inc. (TSX VENTURE: IME) today announced assay
results for holes five through eight of its eleven hole core
drilling program on the 100% owned Mohave Copper-Moly-Silver
Porphyry Project located in north-western Arizona.
"The results from these four holes further demonstrate that
there is a large mineralized system present at Mohave and
reinforces our belief that the property may host an economic
deposit," said Bruce Counts, President and CEO of Indicator
Minerals Inc. "Our strategy of initially drilling widely spaced
holes on the property within the 1800 acre chargeability anomaly
has been successful and identified an exciting new molybdenum area
with the first hole drilled in the Cupola Zone, north of the
Central Monzonite Complex."
Drill Highlights:
Holes MV11005 through MV11008 were located on drill centers
varying between 450-950 meters from the first hole drilled this
season (MV11001) and all holes intersected mineralization from
surface.
Significantly, hole MV11008 was the first hole to test a 2.5 km
west-northwest trending molybdenum soil anomaly located along the
northern contact of the Central Monzonite Complex. Highly anomalous
molybdenum mineralization was intersected from surface to a depth
of 189m.
Assay highlights are as follows:
-- Hole MV11005 is located in the eastern extremity of the Rio Verde Zone
and is 950m southeast of hole MV11001. The hole was drilled to the
southwest to a depth of 362m and included an intercept of 27.50 g/t Ag
over 1.2m from 107.3m to 108.5m and 0.010% Mo and 0.51g/t Ag over 24.1m
from 177.1m to 201.2m.
-- Holes MV11006/MV11007 were drilled in opposite directions from the same
set up and were located approximately 850m north of MV11005.
-- Hole MV1106 was drilled south to a depth of 167.34m included an
intercept of 0.50 g/t Ag and 0.032% Mo over 2.1m from 135.9m to
138m.
-- Hole MV11007 was drilled north to a depth of 176.78m included an
intercept of 15.3 g/t Ag over 0.15m from 9.14m to 9.29m.
-- Hole MV11008 was located approximately 930m north-northeast of MV11001
and was the first hole collared in the Cupola Zone. MV11008 was drilled
to the south to a depth of 324.92 m and included an intercept of 0.45
g/t Ag and 0.011% Mo over 189.8m from 8.5m to 198.3m.

Drill Hole Geology:
The mineralization at Mohave is characterized as complex with
multiple overprints and is dominated by potassic alteration with
Cu-Mo-Ag stockwork and related breccias as well as several younger
Mo-Ag and Pb-Zn-Ag events.
Hole MV11005 was collared in a strong chargeability in
Precambrian granite and intersected several monzonite porphyry
dykes. Alteration includes strong potassic/sodic alteration with
multiple vein types including: AM veins (anhydrite-molybdenite), QM
veins (quartz-molybdenite-pyrite), AC veins
(anhydrite-Kspar-pyrite-magnetite-chalcopyrite) and QP veins
(quartz-pyrite-chalcopyrite-epidote-chlorite). This vein
classification scheme is modified after a scheme developed at the
Mineral Park Mine.
Holes MV11006 and MV11007 tested the Leach Cap Zone in an area
surrounded by a weak chargeability. Alteration includes potassic
and sodic alteration overprinted by a quartz-muscovite and green
sericite-quartz-molybdenite-pyrite veins as well as numerous
argillic altered high angle faults.
Hole MV11008 was collared in a moderate chargeability in
mineralized Precambrian granite, granite-pegmatite dykes and sills.
Alteration includes strong potassic with argillic and silicic
overprints with chalcopyrite and molybdenite mineralization in AM,
QM, AC, QP veins defined above as well as and PMQ veins comprised
of quartz-sericite with base and precious metals.
A significant WNW-ESE trending molybdenum soil anomaly occurs
along the northern and southern contacts of the Central Monzonite
Complex and extends west from MV11008 for a distance of 1.2km and
to the east-southeast from MV11008 for a distance of 1.3km to the
Scott Fault trace.
Drill Program:
Indicator's 2011 drill program is being conducted in two phases.
The recently completed first phase a was intended to test a number
of compelling targets over a wide area identified through Induced
Polarization (IP) and ground magnetic surveys, extensive rock and
soil sampling as well as structural, geological and alteration
mapping. The second phase of drilling will build on the results
from the first phase and is planned for Q4 of 2011.
The first phase of drilling completed eleven inclined core holes
to depths up to 390m (1280ft) for a total of 3500 meters (11,500
feet) with all eleven holes intersecting anomalous mineralization
over significant intervals. Additional assay results for the last
three holes, MV11009 through MV11011 are pending.
Mohave Copper Project:
The Mohave Project is located in north-western Arizona and is
interpreted as a large-scale copper porphyry with significant
amounts of silver and molybdenum and a late stage overprint of
molybdenum and lead-zinc-silver mineralization. Exploration work
has identified extensive copper, molybdenum and silver
mineralization over a large area of the project coincident with a
large Induced Polarization (IP) anomaly and complimentary intrusive
dyke swarms and structural features. The geology of the Mohave
Project is believed to be analogous in many ways to the Bagdad and
the Mineral Park Copper Porphyry Mines where large volumes of low
grades including 0.10-0.20% Cu, 0.01%-0.03% Mo and 1.5-2.0 gpt Ag
are presently being mined.

total copper and total molybdenum assays are acquired by three acid
digestion with an Atomic Absorption Spectroscopy (AAS) finish on
over-limits of Cu greater than 1000ppm and Mo greater than 500ppm
as well as on Pb and Zn greater than 10,000ppm. Gold is determined

duplicates in addition to the laboratory's internal quality control
work. A comprehensive standard and duplicate sample program
including reject analyses by ALS Chemex Analytical Laboratories of
