IEMR Resources Inc. (TSX VENTURE: IRI) is pleased to report that the 2011 drilling program has been completed on the Pine Tree Project near Mina, Nevada.

Nine diamond drill holes totaling 5652.7 meters (18,545.5 feet) have been completed as part of the program. The table below lists the completed holes and their locations can be seen in figure 1 (http://media3.marketwire.com/docs/IRI0812.pdf). This brings to total drilling on the property since 2005 to 14,069.7 meters (43,797.5 feet) in 30 holes for the property. Previous drilling was conducted by Mosquito Consolidated Gold Mines Ltd. ("Mosquito"), who currently manages exploration on the Pine Tree project on behalf of IEMR.

The drill holes encountered three different types of mineralization, corresponding to the three distinct mineralizing events previously identified on the property. These are the older copper bearing calc-silicate skarn replacement, the molybdenum bearing stockwork and the younger arsenopyrite-precious-base metal bearing systems. Assay results will be released once all analytical, check and precious metal analytical work is completed.

Almost the entire core was sampled and cut in half using a diamond saw. Half the core is sent for analysis with the other half being kept and stored at the core facility located on site. Following cutting the samples are picked up directly by ALS Chemex and taken to their fully accredited analytical laboratory in Reno. They are first analyzed for 47 elements using a four (4) acid digestion with analysis by Inductively Coupled Argon Plasma Optical Mass Spectrometer (ICP-MS) and for gold using a 50 gram fire assay with an Atomic Absorption (AA) finish. Copper and Molybdenum bearing samples are then checked by using a larger 5 gram sample and analyzed using a pressed power pellet X-Ray Fluorescence Spectroscopy (XRF). In addition duplicates, blanks, and standards are analyzed to ensure analytical accuracy and reproducibility. All rejects are being kept for further analysis and for use in metallurgical testing.

Geologically the intersection lengths and type of mineralization encountered in the drilling are listed in Table below. These are mineralized zones identified by the geology personnel, that are used to produce the geologic block model that IEMR expects will be used in a resource calculation. Assays will determine the grade of these zones.

Information in this news release may contain forward-looking information under applicable securities laws. Forward-looking information are statements or information that relate to future events. In this context, forward-looking information often address expected future business and financial performance, and often contain words such as "anticipate" or "expect", statements that an action or event "will" be taken or occur, or other similar expressions. Forward-looking information relates to, among other things, the calculation of an initial National Instrument 43-101 compliant resource for the Pine Tree Project and the timing of the preparation of such resource. By their nature, forward-looking information involves known and unknown risks, uncertainties and other factors which may cause its actual results, performance or achievements, actions or other future events, to be materially different from any future results, performance, actions or achievements expressed or implied by such forward-looking statements. Such factors include, among others, the following risks: risks associated with project development; the need for additional financing; operational risks associated with mineral exploration; fluctuations in commodity prices; title matters; environmental liability claims and insurance; reliance on key personnel; the absence of dividends; competition; dilution; and the volatility of IEMR's common share price and volume, as well as those described in the risk factors section in IEMR's most recently filed Management's Discussion and Analysis for the financial year ended October 31, 2010 available at www.sedar.com. Forward-looking information is made based on management's beliefs, estimates and opinions on the date that such statements are made and IEMR undertakes no obligation to update forward-looking information if these beliefs, estimates and opinions or other circumstances should change, except as required by law.
