ICS Re-assesses Opportunities
Abbotsford, Canada, May 10, 2010 (ots/PRNewswire)
With reference to the company's previous News Release 10-02, ICS is pleased to announce that further to the withdrawal of JVC/Chantete from the JV with ICS, the company has reached a final settlement agreement with JVC/Chantete whereby the encumbered loan granted to ICS by JVC in the sum of USD $125,000, was fully settled by ICS. We are pleased to have reached an agreement and the removal of the encumbrance of ICS assets and a settlement letter has been signed releasing all parties from all obligations and claims against each other.
New Activities
ICS is presently reviewing its existing portfolio of properties in DRC and Zambia, as well as assessing the opportunity of further exploration/production properties in Africa and in North America. Due diligence is being undertaken with the assistance of independent geological consultants which will be reviewed by the Board.
Furthermore, various proposals have been submitted to the company for its EMEW plant that include JV opportunities as well as outright purchase of the equipment valued at approx USD 1.4M.
No agreement has been reached as of today and we will update in due course.
Board Restructuring
We wish to advise the retirement of Chairman of the Board Richard Molyneux who served on the Board as a non executive Director in 2008 and who was subsequently unanimously appointed as Chairman of ICS. Richard has decided to retire from active Board involvement to pursue private interests and we thank him very much for his leadership and chairmanship over the last two and half years. In the interim period Markus Janser has accepted the role as Lead Director. Stephen Gregory also moves on to concentrate on his own company. We thank him for his contribution to the company and we wish him good luck.
