Supreme Court of Canada Denies IMA Leave to Appeal

 IMA Exploration Inc. (IMR-AMEX, IMR-TSX.V) ("IMA" or the "Company")

The Supreme Court of Canada has denied the Company's application for leave to appeal the judgment of the Supreme Court of British Columbia, as affirmed by the Court of Appeal for British Columbia, in the action commenced by Minera Aquiline Argentina SA ("Aquiline") against the Company over the ownership of the "Navidad project". The terms of the Interim Project Development Agreement entered into between the Company and Aquiline after the decision of the Supreme Court of British Columbia requires Aquiline to pay agreed development costs incurred by the Company after which the Navidad project is transferred to Aquiline. Aquiline and the Company have agreed that the Interim Project Development Agreement fulfils the terms of the judgment of the Supreme Court of British Columbia that ordered the Company and its directors to transfer the "Navidad project" to Aquiline.

The Company has been actively reviewing many projects and opportunities in the past six months. With the funds on hand plus the cash to be received from Aquiline, the Company will have $26 million in the treasury which the Company intends to use for future transactions.
