NEWS RELEASE                                                   FEBRUARY 14, 2005

            FRIVOLOUS LAWSUIT SLOWS CANADIAN COMPANY'S DEVELOPMENT OF
                          WORLD CLASS SILVER DISCOVERY

IMA EXPLORATION INC. announces that the Company has offered $100,000 - "nuisance
value" - to Aquiline  Resources Inc. to settle their ongoing  lawsuit.  "We have
offered Aquiline a nuisance value sum to put this nonsense behind us," explained
Mr.  Grosso.  "We have to get back to running our company and focus our energies
on the development of Navidad, our extraordinary silver discovery in Argentina".

IMA  announced  the  discovery  of its 100%  owned  Navidad  silver  project  in
Patagonia,  Argentina,  in March 2003.  To date,  IMA has  defined an  Indicated
Resource of 268 million  ounces of silver and 1.1 million tonnes of lead (50 g/t
cut off, 80.8 M tonnes at 103 g/t silver and 1.45% lead),  quickly making it one
of the world's  largest and purest silver  deposits.  In a suit filed in British
Columbia in March 2004,  Aquiline alleged IMA used  confidential  information to
acquire Navidad.

"There is absolutely  nothing to the claim," Mr. Grosso said. "If this ever gets
to court,  we are confident it will be thrown out. But we have a  responsibility
to our  shareholders  and we must  focus on making  the  potential  of Navidad a
reality, not on legal fees to fight opportunistic lawsuits."

IMA is well  financed to continue to test the  numerous  exploration  targets at
Navidad  with  significant  drill  programs.  The  Company  has  over  10  years
experience in Argentina and is dedicated to the  exploration  and development of
socially, economically and environmentally responsible mining opportunities.
