Imperial's Underground Drilling at Mount Polley Boundary Zone Intersects 4.73% Cu and 2.61 g/t Gold Over 12.8 Metres

Imperial Metals Corporation (TSX:III) reports results from 2012 Mount Polley mine site exploration at the Boundary zone which continues to demonstrate the discovery potential at this established mining property.
