NEWS RELEASE - OCTOBER 10, 2008
IMA CONSERVES LARGE TREASURY FOR ACQUISITION OF FLAGSHIP ASSET
IMA EXPLORATION INC. (IMR-AMEX, IMR-TSX.V) ("IMA" or the "Company") has received
its drill permit for the Island Copper project and has already mobilized the
exploration team to the project. Two drill rigs are expected to be on site by
the end of the week. IMA is currently fulfilling its minimum required first year
exploration expense of $1.9 million CDN already committed for the Island Copper
Project. The Company would also like to assure shareholders that it is
conserving its significant treasury of over $23 million CDN in short term
cashable GIC's (average interest rate of 3%) in these difficult market
conditions, but has not lost sight of its purpose: to find economic deposits and
bring them to feasibility. IMA is carefully reviewing a number of very exciting,
advanced flagship projects that meet our criteria of proven resources, near-term
cash flow and significant exploration potential. The current market conditions
are resulting in unique opportunities to acquire high-quality assets at
historically low costs. IMA is well positioned with its significant treasury to
capitalize on the current economic situation.
On the Island Copper Project both drill rigs will initially be deployed at the
NW Expo Zone where previous drilling completed by Lumina Copper in 2005 and
Western Copper in 2007 encountered significant intersections of gold and
molybdenum mineralization (204m averaging 0.74 g/t gold, 120m of 1.25 g/t gold
and 180m of 0.03% Mo*). IMA's drilling will step out to the north and west of
these drill intercepts to test the open extensions to the mineralization with
the aim of delineating mineralized zones that will add to the already
substantial copper-gold resource at Hushamu. The drill rigs will then be moved
to the Hushamu resource area where previous work has delineated a 43-101
compliant estimated Measured and Indicated Resource containing 2.3M ounces gold
and 1.4B pounds copper (230.9M tonnes grading 0.31 g/t Au and 0.28% Cu at a 0.2%
Cu cut-off). Drilling on the Hushamu resource area will be focused on increasing
the copper equivalent grade of the resource, by quantifying molybdenum
mineralization not previously included in the estimate, as well as, increasing
tonnage.

The phase I drill program is part of the first-year, stage-1, commitment to
Western Copper (WRN-TSX) and is part of IMA's 3-stage, 4-year option to earn up
to a 70% interest in the Island Copper project and bring it to a production
decision.
IMA is a Vancouver based exploration company with over $23M in its treasury. The
acquisition of the Island Copper Project is Phase I of IMA's business strategy
and aligns with the Company's objective to acquire projects that contain
established resources, near-term cash flow and offer significant opportunities
for expansion through continued exploration. A PowerPoint presentation on the
project is available on the Company's web site (www.imaexploration.com).
