Installation of EMEW Plant in Zambia by Q4 of 2008 - On Schedule

Abbotsford, Canada (ots/PRNewswire) - ICS Copper Systems Ltd.
(ICX:TSX.V) is pleased to announce that the company is on track to
complete the installation of its EMEW plant by Q4 of 2008 at the
Mokambo site in Mufulira, Zambia. The plant is designed to produce
approximately 600 tonnes of finished copper and approximately 100
tonnes of cobalt carbonate annually. The Company will initially be
processing third party ore, purchased from small local mining
companies.

The purpose of the EMEW plant operation at this stage of the
Company's history is to provide the Company with quick access to
cash flow to reduce dependency on the markets and the subsequent
dilution in share capital. The company's issued share capital
remains at 26,963,869 shares.

The 270 cell EMEW plant that was acquired before the IPO is on
site and the shipment containing the EMEW rectifiers is presently in
Zambia en route to site. The plant will be assembled on the concrete
structure that has already been built for it. An acid-proof membrane
is being laid down under the EMEW plant as well as under the heap
leach area, pregnant leach solution pond, and the raffinate pond. A
crusher, stainless steel belt filter (for cobalt carbonate
recovery), and an appropriately sized diesel generator have been
sourced and acquired. This operation is scheduled to start in Q4 of
2008.

Graham Chisholm, President and CEO of ICS comments "One of the
Company's key objectives is to bring this project to production as
soon as possible with minimal capital by using the modular EMEW
plant. The cash flow will assist the company to progress its larger
projects to achieve the Company's vision of becoming a major mining
company centred on the Central African Copper Belt".
