NEWS RELEASE - APRIL 13, 2004
IMA NEGOTIATES SUBSTANTIAL EXPLORATION COMMITMENT
FROM AMERA ON MOGOTE COPPER-GOLD PROJECT
IMA EXPLORATION INC. (IMR-TSX.V, IMXPF-OTC.BB) is please to announce the Company
has concluded a further agreement with Amera Resource Corporation (AMS-TSX.V) to
accelerate exploration on the Mogote copper-gold porphyry project, located in
San Juan, Argentina. Amera can increase its interest in Mogote from 51% to 75%
by completing work expenditures totaling US$3,000,000 over a three year period
and issuing 300,000 shares. Amera must spend US$1,000,000 by May 30, 2005.
To fully earn its 75% interest, Amera will have to spend a total of US$4,250,000
on mineral exploration and issue 1,950,000 shares to IMA (in addition to 500,000
shares of Amera already held by IMA). Amera currently has 13,547,382 shares
outstanding.
The Mogote Property lies 350 kilometers northwest of the city of San Juan, in
the northwest of San Juan province, Argentina. The property lies immediately to
the east of, and is partly contiguous with the Chile/Argentine border on the
upper eastern slopes of the Andean Cordillera, with elevations ranging from
4,300 to 5,100 metres above sea level. The exploration season on Mogote is from
late October to early May.
The Company's primary focus will be to continue to develop reserves on its 100%
owned Navidad claims and to continue with quality exploration work designed to
define economic gold and silver deposits in Argentina and Peru. IMA has put
together an enviable property portfolio including over 37 well-located,
high-potential projects and is continuing to add its property holdings through
grass-roots exploration and staking.
