Item 1.01

Entry into a Material Definitive Agreement


The information in Item 3.02 below is hereby incorporated in this Item 1.01 by reference.


Item 3.02

Unregistered Sales of Equity Securities


On February 15, 2006, Idaho General Mines, Inc. (the “Company”) completed a private placement of units (the “Units”) for an aggregate purchase price of $30 million.  In the aggregate, the company issued 15 million shares of common stock and warrants to purchase an additional 8.3 million shares, including warrants issued as compensation to the placement agent.


The Units were sold at a price of $2.00 per Unit.  Each Unit consisted of one share of the Company’s common stock and a warrant to purchase one-half of a share of the Company’s common stock at an exercise price of $3.75 per whole share, exercisable for a five-year period.   The Units were offered and sold pursuant to exemptions from registration under Rule 506 of Regulation D and Section 4(2) of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Securities Act”), as a transaction not involving any public offering.


The Company has agreed to file a registration statement under the Securities Act with the Securities and Exchange Commission no later than March 31, 2006 to register the resale of the shares of common stock comprising the Units and the shares of common stock underlying the warrants comprising the Units, and to use commercially reasonable efforts to have the registration statement declared effective on or before July 31, 2006.  


In addition, on February 14, 2006, in connection with the private placement, the Company and Columbia Stock Transfer Company, the Company’s transfer agent, entered into a First Amendment to Shareholders Rights Agreement.  The amendment provides that the purchasers in the private placement will not be deemed to be acquiring persons (as defined in the agreement) solely by virtue of their purchase of Units in the private placement or by virtue of the exercise or conversion of the warrants received in the private placement into shares of the Company’s common stock.  


Item 8.01

Other Events


On February 17, 2006, the Company announced that it has applied to list its common stock on the American Stock Exchange (“AMEX”). The listing is subject to review by AMEX for compliance with its listing requirements. During the review, shares of the company’s common stock will continue to be quoted on the OTC Bulletin Board under the symbol “IGMI”.


The Company also announced that it has withdrawn its preliminary prospectus filed on December 29, 2005 with the securities regulatory authorities in the Canadian Provinces of British Colombia, Alberta, Manitoba and Ontario. Independent of any financing transaction, the Company intends to continue to seek a listing of its common stock on the Toronto Stock Exchange.
