VANCOUVER, British Columbia, May 23, 2018 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Imperial Metals Corporation (the “Company”) (TSX:III) reports that unionized employees at the Mount Polley Mine have gone on strike following a three hour lock out by the Company earlier today. The lock out was intended to overcome an impasse on renewal of the collective agreement which terminated on December 31, 2017.
