IBC Advanced Alloys Receives Drilling Permit Approvals for 2011 Utah Drill Program

VANCOUVER, BC – September 8, 2011 – IBC Advanced Alloys Corp. (TSX-V: IB; OTCQX: IAALF) (“IBC” or the “Company”)announces that it has received permits and approvals from the Utah State Office of the U.S. Bureau of Land Management and the Utah Division of Oil, Gas and Mining to commence its planned drill program in Juab County, Utah. IBC’s properties incorporate 371 claims, totaling approximately 7,630 acres and are located immediately adjacent to the large Spor Mountain beryllium mine.

The proposed drill program is anticipated to commence in mid-September, subject to assigning a contractor to complete the work and complete rig mobilization. The complete drilling activities are expected to be completed within 90 days with final laboratory results and petrographic work completed approximately 60 to 90 days thereafter.

IBC previously completed an airborne geophysical survey of these properties in 2010 flown by Fugro Airborne Surveys Corporation (“Fugro”), based in Ontario, Canada. Fugro flew a detailed 7,495-line kilometre low altitude airborne radiometric and magnetic survey and IBC has now concluded subsequent analysis which identified several high interest target zones that are the subject of this exploration program to quantify the Company’s upstream resource base. The results of the airborne survey were announced in IBC’s news release dated May 3, 2011.

The drilling program will consist of up to 35 holes in the Topaz Mountain West and Sand Pass NE quadrangles totalling as much as 5,250 metres of reverse circulation drilling to test target zones in the volcanic tuff and in the underlying Bell Hill Dolomite unit along and on either side of a N 30° E-trending fracture zones in the claim area immediately south of the Starvation Canyon Wash. These holes will test the presence and concentration of fluorite-bertrandite replacement of dolomite fragments as in Materion’s (formerly Brush Wellman) nearby Spor Mountain mine pits and will penetrate the volcanic tuff layer to test the underlying Bell Hill Dolomite for hydrothermal alteration and the presence of fluorite and bertrandite mineralization.

IBC’s Vice President of Exploration, Lee Rice, states, “The 2010 Utah airborne survey identified a number of high interest target zones that are worthy of further investigation with a comprehensive drilling program. The Company’s focus is to quantify the potential beryllium mineralization,” continued Mr. Rice, “which we hope will underpin continued downstream manufacturing growth, as well as provide a strategic upstream resource to support our R&D efforts, such as our nuclear fuels initiative, which has the potential to drive future consumption.”
