ICS Announces NI-43-101 Report on Excelsior Springs Gold Property

ABBOTSFORD, British Columbia, October 6, 2010 - ICS Copper Systems Ltd. (ICX:TSX.V) is pleased to announce the completion
of a NI 43-101 Technical Report on its recently acquired Excelsior Springs
gold property in Esmeralda County, Nevada.

The report concludes that based on the results of previous drilling
programs, the Excelsior Springs property should be considered an
advanced-stage exploration project having significant potential to host one
or more open-pittable gold deposits.

In the past, a number of exploration companies have conducted drilling
programs on the property, and the results have begun to define an extensive
zone of gold mineralization. Drilling around the Buster and Upper shafts has
outlined the Buster mineralized zone approximately 1,000 feet-long and 200
feet-wide.

The report also advises: "There is an Historic, non 43-101 compliant,
resource estimate in the Buster zone of 2 million tons at a grade of 0.05 to
0.09 oz Au/ton (100,000 ounces to 180,000 ounces). Drill holes several
thousand feet away from the Buster zone have intersected zones of anomalous
gold along the east-west extensions of the alteration zone. This mineral
inventory for the property was calculated prior to NI 43-101 reporting
standards and does not meet the criteria for NI 43-101 categories. It is
presented here as an item of historical interest and should not be construed
as being representative of an actual Mineral Resource existing on the
property." A qualified person has not done sufficient work to classify the
historical estimate as current mineral resources; the issuer is not treating
the historical estimate as current mineral resources as defined in
sections 1.2 and 1.3 of NI-43-101; and the historical estimate should not
be relied upon.

Some of the drill hole data in appendix C of the report is as follows:

The property lies within the Walker Lane, a zone of regional-scale,
northwest-trending, strike-slip faulting. The Walker Lane hosts a significant
number of precious metal deposits including the Comstock Lode at Virginia
City, Borealis, Aurora, Mineral Ridge, Paradise Peak, Rawhide, Tonopah,
Goldfield and the Bullfrog District.

The Borealis mine is located ten miles west of Hawthorne, Nevada, and
during production from 1981 until 1990 produced over 600,000 ounces of gold
and has a current resource of 1.3 million ounces of gold. The structural
trends and structural control of the mineralization of the Borealis deposit
make it a suitable model for the Excelsior Springs property, and successfu
l exploration techniques utilized at Borealis can be applied at Excelsior
Springs.

Recommendations: The report recommends a two-phased exploration program
for the property. Phase One will comprise mapping, sampling, a CSMT and
IP geophysical survey and a 15-hole drilling program to better define the
Buster zone and to test for extensions of the zone. If Phase One is
successful in confirming the continuity of the Buster zone mineralization
or discovering mineralization in the extensions of the zone, a Phase Two
program will be initiated. Phase Two will comprise additional CSMT and IP
surveys and a 30-hole drilling program. If Phase Two is successful, a new
43-101 report will be prepared with a mineral resource for the property
and a recommendation for a multi-rig drilling program to expand the
mineralized zones into a measured and indicated resource. The goal will be
to define a deposit amenable to open-pit mining methods and a heap-leach
recovery system.

The Phase One drilling budget is estimated to be USD 353,460 while Phase
Two is estimated to be USD 643,714.

President and CEO Graham Chisholm comments: "We intend to complete a
geologic map of the property and do extensive sampling of the altered zones
and old workings this year. Compilation and evaluation of the surface and
assay data will allow us to select fifteen drill sites to test the Buster
zone and its extensions."
