    IMA Exploration Inc.: Drilling Expands Size and Silver
    Grade of Navidad Mineralized System


    VANCOUVER, BRITISH COLUMBIA--IMA Exploration Inc. (IMR-TSX.V) is
    pleased to announce additional results from drill holes 4 & 5
    drilled on Galena Hill at the Company`s 100% owned Navidad
    Project. Highlights include 137 metres (m) grading 117 grams per
    tonne (g/t) silver from drill hole 4, 83m grading 229 g/t silver
    from hole 5.


    Results from the completed drill holes 6 to 11 will be released
    as available and the drill crew is now on route to complete the
    remaining 1,700 m in the Phase 1 program. IMA`s Geologists are
    very excited by the size potential indicated by the results to
    date. Upon completion of the Phase 1 program results will be
    analyzed to prioritize drill targets and to delineate the scope
    of the Phase 2 drill program.


    Technical Summary


    Drill hole NV03-04 was drilled to a depth of 287.9m at an angle
    of -45 degrees and intersected brecciated volcanic rocks
    containing significant sulphides (principally galena +/- pyrite)
    from surface to 266.7m. The upper 200.2m of this hole returned an
    average grade of 92.3 g/t silver and 2.49% lead including 55.1m
    of 164.3 g/t silver and 2.97% lead from 39.6 to 94.7m (see table
    below and attached section for complete results:
    http://www2.cdn-news.com/database/fax/2000/0106imr.pdf). This
    very long intersection of strongly mineralized rock correlates
    extremely well with anomalous chargeability values as measured by
    pole-dipole IP on section 51200E and suggests that much of the
    remaining 1.3 x 1.6 km chargeability anomaly may be mineralized
    with galena and associated silver. Partial results from hole
    NV03-04 were previously reported (see Dec 17, 2003 release).


    NV03-05 was drilled to a depth of 217.7m at an angle of -60
    degrees and intersected 27.5m of pyritic mudstone before
    penetrating 125.1m of the same mineralized volcanic breccia cored
    by hole NV03-04. Length weighted average grades include 229.2 g/t
    silver and 4.24% lead over 83.0m including 18.3m of 503.0 g/t
    silver and 11.19% lead. The layered pyritic mudstone is important
    in that it demonstrates the existence of a restricted basin into
    which sulphides accumulated (principally pyrite in hole NV03-05)
    indicating that the Navidad system vented hydrothermal fluids to
    the paleosurface in a subaqueous environment. This mudstone
    contains elevated zinc values (0.81% over the entire 27.5m
    intersection) and strong silver and lead values near its bottom
    contact where it contains crosscutting stringer veinlets of
    galena.


    Drill holes NV03-04 and NV03-05 were drilled on section 51,160E
    and were collared 133m apart. Previously announced hole NV03-03
    was drilled on the same section and intersected 175.5m of 26.0
    g/t silver and 1.35% lead over its entire length. It now appears
    that NV03-03 was drilled at a shallow angle to the dip of the
    strata and never crossed the core of the target. Holes NV03-04
    and 05 appear to cross the geological units closer to
    perpendicular and indicate true thicknesses of mineralization of
    70 to 140m. Together these three holes indicate a mineralized
    horizontal width of at least 340m on section 51160E.


    IMA Exploration Inc. focuses on 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 to this package through grass-roots exploration
    and staking.
