b. Payment from the Ball Entities to IIM – Stock Option Agreement.

Stock Option Grant. On the Effective Date, BVNR will grant to IIM five (5) yearly options (each a “Yearly Option” and collectively, the “Yearly Options”), with each Yearly Option entitling IIM to purchase up to THREE HUNDRED SIXTY THOUSAND (360,000) I-Minerals common shares (the “Option Shares”) at an exercise price of ZERO AND 23.5/100 DOLLARS ($0.235) per share in United States currency (the “Option Price”). Each Yearly Option will vest and become exercisable, and will terminate and cease to be exercisable, according to the schedule set forth in this Section 2.b.i.

	1,800,000	Total Number of Option Shares

ii.

Feasibility Study Filing Date. The “Feasibility Study Filing Date” shall mean the date that I-Minerals files a technical report in accordance with the requirements of Canadian National Instrument 43-101 Standards of Disclosure for Mineral Projects (“NI 43-101”) disclosing the results of that feasibility study that is currently being undertaken by GBM Minerals Engineering Consultants Limited for I-Minerals, which technical report shall be approved by I-Minerals in its sole discretion and shall be filed by I-Minerals on SEDAR in accordance with the Applicable Canadian Securities Laws (as that term is defined in Section 3.a.ii.)

iii.

Cashless Exercise Right. In lieu of exercising a Yearly Option for cash, IIM may elect to exercise all or any portion of a Yearly Option by means of a cashless exercise (the “Cashless Exercise Right”). Upon exercise of the Cashless Exercise Right, IIM shall (1) surrender its right to that portion of the Yearly Option so exercised by means of the Cashless Exercise Right; and (2) be entitled to receive from BVNR that number of Option Shares that is equal to the number obtained by the following formula:

( X - Y )Z
X

Where:

X = the market price, on a per share basis, of I-Minerals’ common shares (the “Market Price”), calculated based on (a) if the common shares are then traded on the TSX Venture Exchange or the Toronto Stock Exchange, the average closing price of I-Minerals’ common shares as quoted by the TSX Venture Exchange or the Toronto Stock Exchange for the 5 trading days immediately preceding the date the Notice of Exercise is delivered to BVNR indicating IIM’s election to exercise the BVNR Options by means of the Cashless Exercise

GLOBAL SETTLEMENT AND ABSOLUTE RELEASE AGREEMENT – PAGE 6

Right (the “Exercise Date”), converted into USD based on the Bank of Canada noon rate for the trading day immediately preceding the Exercise Date, (b) if the common shares are not traded on the TSX Venture Exchange or the Toronto Stock Exchange but are traded on another securities exchange or active public market, the average closing price of I-Minerals’ common shares as quoted by that other securities exchange or active public market for the 5 trading days immediately preceding the Exercise Date,or (c) if there is no active public market for I-Minerals’ common shares, the value thereof as of the Exercise Date, as determined in good faith by the Board of Directors of the Company, taking into account any illiquidity and lack of marketability of the common shares.

Y = the Option Price.

Z = the number of Option Shares that IIM would otherwise have been entitled to receive upon exercise of the Yearly Option had IIM elected to pay the Option Price in cash.

iv.

Cash Settlement of Options in Certain Circumstances. If, upon an Exercise Date, (a) there is not an effective Registration Statement with respect to the Yearly Options, Option Shares and Bonus Shares as contemplated in Section 3.c and (b) BVNR is unable or elects not to provide a legal opinion as set forth in Section 3.a.i(B)(1) or 3.a.i(B)(2), BVNR shall pay a cash settlement to IIM in lieu of the transfer of the applicable Option Shares subject to the Yearly Options exercised by IIM (a “Cash Settlement”). BVNR shall exercise the Cash Settlement by providing written notice to IIM within 10 calendar days after receipt of IIM’s notice of exercise of the applicable Yearly Option. Upon exercise of the Cash Settlement, BVNR shall pay to IIM, within 20 days of BVNR’s receipt of IIM’s notice of exercise, an amount equal to the number obtained by the following formula:

( X - Y )Z

Where:

X = the Market Price

Y = the Option Price

Z = the number of Option Shares that IIM would otherwise have been entitled to receive upon exercise of the Yearly Option had IIM paid the Option Price in cash.

GLOBAL SETTLEMENT AND ABSOLUTE RELEASE AGREEMENT – PAGE 7

Upon such payment, BVNR shall have no further obligation to IIM or the other Plaintiffs with respect to the Option Shares otherwise transferrable upon exercise of the applicable Yearly Option.

Yearly Options Non-Transferrable. Except as expressly set forth in this Section 2.b.v., the Yearly Options shall not be divisible, transferrable or assignable to any other person. Notwithstanding the forgoing, IIM may transfer, divide and assign each Yearly Option to the members or shareholders of IIM in proportion to their respective ownership interests in IIM, subject to the following:

(A)

No portion of a Yearly Option shall be transferred or assigned to any of the Ball Entities in their capacity as a member or shareholder of IIM, and the proportionate ownership interest of the remaining members or shareholders of IIM shall be calculated without reference to any member interests or shares of IIM held by any of the Ball Entities.

(B)

No transfer, assignment or division of a Yearly Option may result in an option to purchase a fractional Option Share.

(C)

Any proposed transfer, assignment or division of a Yearly Option is subject to the availability of an applicable exemption from the registration and prospectus requirements of the Applicable Securities Laws (as that term is defined in Section 3.a.i).

(D)

The rights of any transferee or assignee to exercise all or any portion of a Yearly Option shall be subject to the same terms and conditions as if IIM continued to be the optionee.

vi.

Change of Control. Immediately prior to any Change in Control Transaction, and subject to closing of such Change in Control Transaction, any Yearly Options that have not yet vested shall vest and become exercisable. Any Yearly Options that are not exercised immediately prior to a Change in Control Transaction shall terminate immediately upon the closing of such Change in Control Transaction. For purposes of this Section 0.x.xx, “Change in Control Transaction” shall mean:

(A)

Any sale of all or substantially all of the assets of I-Minerals or any liquidation or dissolution of I-Minerals; or

(B)

Any transaction in which, immediately after the completion of such transaction, the shareholders of I-Minerals immediately

GLOBAL SETTLEMENT AND ABSOLUTE RELEASE AGREEMENT – PAGE 8

prior to completion of the transaction will beneficially own (within the meaning of Rule 13d-3 of the United States Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, and the rules and regulation promulgated thereunder (the “1934 Act”) less than 50% of the outstanding voting securities of I-Minerals or any surviving entity resulting from such transaction.

vii.

Bonus Shares. Upon the full exercise of each Yearly Option, whether for cash, by Cashless Exercise Right or by Cash Settlement, BVNR shall, subject to the other terms of this Section 2.b.vii, transfer to IIM an additional ONE HUNDRED THOUSAND (100,000) I-Minerals common shares (the “Bonus Shares”) for no additional consideration. If the Yearly Option to which the Bonus Shares relates was transferred or assigned to the members or shareholders of IIM pursuant to Section 2.b.iv, BVNR shall, subject to compliance with Applicable Securities Laws, transfer the Bonus Shares to the members or shareholders of IIM to whom such Yearly Option was transferred in proportion to that portion of the Yearly Option transferred to each member or shareholder of IIM, provided that any fractional shares that would otherwise be required to be transferred pursuant to this Section 2.b.vii. shall be rounded to the nearest whole share. If, at the time IIM becomes entitled to the Bonus Shares, (a) there is not an effective Registration Statement with respect to the Yearly Options, Option Shares and Bonus Shares as contemplated in Section 3.c, and (b) BVNR is unable or elects not to provide a legal opinion as set forth in Section 3.a.i(B)(1) or 3.a.i(B)(2), BVNR shall pay a cash settlement to IIM or the members of IIM, as applicable, in lieu of the transfer of the applicable Bonus Shares (a “Cash Bonus Share Settlement”). BVNR shall exercise the Cash Bonus Share Settlement by providing written notice to IIM, on behalf of itself and its members, within 10 calendar days after receipt of IIM’s notice of exercise of the applicable Yearly Option triggering payment of the Bonus Shares. Upon exercise of the Cash Bonus Share Settlement, BVNR shall pay to IIM, on behalf of itself and its members (as applicable) and within 20 days of BVNR’s receipt of IIM’s notice of exercise of the applicable Yearly Option, an amount equal to (a) the product of (i) the Market Price multiplied by (ii) the number of Bonus Shares that IIM would otherwise have been entitled to had BVNR not paid the Cash Bonus Share Settlement in lieu of the transfer to IIM and its members, as applicable, of the Bonus Shares. Upon such payment, BVNR shall have no further obligation to IIM or the other Plaintiffs with respect to the Bonus Shares otherwise transferrable upon exercise of the applicable Yearly Option

viii.

Mechanics of Exercise. The Yearly Options shall be exercisable by delivery to BVNR, with a copy to I-Minerals, of a duly completed and duly executed notice of exercise in the form attached as Schedule A to

GLOBAL SETTLEMENT AND ABSOLUTE RELEASE AGREEMENT – PAGE 9

this Agreement (the “Notice of Exercise”) together with payment in full of the Option Price payable therefor by certified check, bank draft or wire transfer to the accounts indicated by BVNR in writing (if payment is to be made other than by means of the Cashless Exercise Right). Subject to exercise by BVNR of the applicable Cash Settlement and/or Cash Bonus Share Settlement, BVNR shall have 10 calendar days after receipt of both the Notice of Exercise and payment in full of the Option Price (if the Yearly Option is exercised on a cash basis) to deliver, by physical delivery to the address specified in the Notice of Exercise, a certificate, registered in the name of IIM (or the particular member or shareholder of IIM in the case of a Yearly Option transferred or assigned pursuant to Section 2.b.v) representing the Option Shares transferrable upon such exercise.

ix.

Adjustments for Recapitalizations. If at any time prior to the applicable expiration date of a Yearly Option, (a) I-Minerals: (i) pays a stock dividend or otherwise makes a distribution or distributions on its common shares, (ii) subdivides its outstanding common shares into a larger number of shares, or (iii) combines (including by way of reverse stock split) outstanding common shares into a smaller number of shares or (b) the IIM common shares shall be changed into the same or a different number of shares of any class or classes of stock of I-Minerals, whether by capital reorganization, reclassification or otherwise,, then in each case the Option Price and the number and class of Option Shares shall be proportionately and appropriately adjusted (provided that the aggregate Option Price, as so adjusted, of the Yearly Options shall remain unchanged) and the number of Bonus Shares to be transferred upon the full exercise of each Yearly Option shall likewise be proportionately and appropriately adjusted.

Option Shares and Bonus Shares to be Fully Paid. Upon exercise of the Yearly Options for cash or by Cashless Exercise Right, and subject to Section 3, the Option Shares and the Bonus Shares to be transferred by BVNR to IIM, or the members or shareholders of IIM as the case may be, shall be, when transferred, validly issued, unrestricted, marketable, fully paid and non-assessable common shares of I- Minerals free and clear of any and all mortgages, liens, pledges, charges, security interests. Nothing in this Section 2.b.x shall modify BVNR’s right to pay the Cash Settlement or the Cash Bonus Share Settlement in lieu of transferring the Options Shares or the Bonus Shares to IIM as set forth in Sections 2.b.iv and 2.b.vii.

xi.

Waiver by Ball Entities of Rights to Option Shares or Bonus Shares. Upon the exercise of any of the Yearly Options, the Ball Entities, solely in their capacity as members or shareholders of IIM, agree to waive (A) any rights they may have to the Option Shares or the Bonus

GLOBAL SETTLEMENT AND ABSOLUTE RELEASE AGREEMENT – PAGE 10

Shares transferred to IIM upon such exercise (or cash in lieu thereof pursuant to exercise of the Cash Settlement or Cash Bonus Share Settlement), and (B) any rights they may have to any proceeds or distributions from or on the Option Shares or the Bonus Shares or the Cash Settlement or the Cash Bonus Share Settlement.

xii.

Ball Entities Payment. The Yearly Options and the Bonus Share rights granted pursuant to this Section 2.b. are hereinafter collectively referred to as the “Ball Entities Payment”.

c. I-Minerals Payment and Ball Entities Payment Separate. It is recognized and agreed that the I-Minerals Payment and the Ball Entities Payment are separate and apart from one another. In the event either I-Minerals or the Ball Entities fails to make their respective payments to IIM, then IIM’s and/or Plaintiffs’ sole recourse for recovery of such failed payment shall be against the Party that failed to make its respective payment. For example, if I-Minerals makes the I-Minerals Payment, but the Ball Entities fail to comply with the terms of the Ball Entities Payment, IIM and/or Plaintiffs may not seek to recover the Ball Entities Payment (or any damages related thereto) from I-Minerals and vice versa. Additionally, once I-Minerals or the Ball Entities make their respective payments, the Party making such payment shall be deemed to have fully complied with that Party’s monetary obligations due under this Agreement.

d. Acknowledgement that Registration Rights Agreement Does Not Affect Release of Defendants. In a good faith effort to facilitate the transfer of Option Shares and Bonus Shares from BVNR to IIM without restrictions pursuant to Section 2(b)(x) of this Agreement, I-Minerals has agreed to enter into a Registration Rights Agreement as set forth in Section 3.d of this Agreement, pursuant to which, and subject to the terms and conditions thereof, I-Minerals will agree to file a Registration Statement with respect to the resale of the Option Shares and the Bonus Shares subject to the Yearly Options. The Parties hereby expressly acknowledge and agree that the execution and performance by I-Minerals of its obligations as set forth in the Registration Rights Agreement and Section 3.d of this Agreement do not constitute any part of the I-Minerals Payment and that the performance by I-Minerals of its obligations, or any failure by I-Minerals to perform its obligations, under the Registration Rights Agreement or Section 3.d of this Agreement shall have no bearing or effect on the obligations of the Plaintiffs (including the Xxxxxx Estate) or the Ball Entities under this Agreement, including, but not limited to, their respective obligations under Sections 1, 7, 8, 9, 10 or 11 of this Agreement. Any obligations of I- Minerals under the terms of the Registration Rights Agreement shall be determined solely under the provisions thereof and under no circumstances shall any breach or alleged breach by I-Minerals of the Registration Rights Agreement be considered to be a breach of this Agreement. For greater clarity, once the I-Minerals Payment has been made, the Defendants obligations under this Agreement shall be deemed to have been fulfilled with the exception of any ongoing obligations the Defendants may have pursuant to Sections 1,7, 8, 9, 10 or 11 of this Agreement.

GLOBAL SETTLEMENT AND ABSOLUTE RELEASE AGREEMENT – PAGE 11

3. Securities Matters.

a. Limitations on Transfer of I-Minerals Securities. Notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement, the Plaintiffs and the Ball Entities acknowledge and agree that no offer, sale, trade, transfer or assignment of any securities of I-Minerals may be made by the Ball Entities to the Plaintiffs as set forth in this Agreement, including, without limitation, upon the exercise of any of the Yearly Options and the transfer of any of the Option Shares or Bonus Shares, unless:

Either:

(A)

there is an effective registration statement with respect to such offer, sale, trade, transfer or assignment under the United States Securities Act of 1933, as amended, and the rules and regulation promulgated thereunder (the “1933 Act”), or

(B)

prior to such sale, trade, transfer or assignment I-Minerals is provided with an opinion of legal counsel (which opinion and legal counsel shall be reasonably satisfactory to I-Minerals) to the effect that such offer, sale, trade, transfer or assignment:

(1)

is made in compliance with the exemption from the registration requirements of the 1933 Act provided by Rule 144 promulgated thereunder, or

(2)

is otherwise made in compliance with an applicable exemption from the registration requirements of the 1933 Act and the securities laws of any applicable state within the United States of America (collectively, together with the 1934 Act, the “Applicable United States Securities Laws”) and that after such sale, trade, transfer or assignment such securities of I-Minerals will not be “restricted securities” (as defined in Rule 144) and that such Plaintiff transferees may reoffer, resell or retransfer such securities of I-Minerals without transfer restrictions under the Applicable United States Securities Laws; and

ii.

There is an available exemption from the prospectus requirements of the securities laws of any applicable Province of Canada (the “Applicable Canadian Securities Laws” and, together with the Applicable United States Securities Laws, collectively the “Applicable Securities Laws”).

b. Transfers Not Made In Accordance with Forgoing. The Plaintiffs and the Ball Entities acknowledge and agree that I-Minerals may refuse to register any transfer or sale of any securities of I-Minerals by the Ball Entities to the Plaintiffs made pursuant to

GLOBAL SETTLEMENT AND ABSOLUTE RELEASE AGREEMENT – PAGE 12

the Yearly Options or otherwise pursuant to this Agreement unless such transfer or sale is made in accordance with Section 3.a.

c. Registration Statement. Upon the execution of this Agreement, the Ball Entities and I-Minerals agree to enter into a registration rights agreement (the “Registration Rights Agreement”) setting forth the terms and conditions under which I-Minerals will agree to prepare and file a registration statement with the United States Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”) relating to the resale of the Option Shares and the Bonus Shares by BVNR upon exercise of the Yearly Options (the “Registration Statement”). The Plaintiffs and the Ball Entities agree that any obligations of I-Minerals under the terms of the Registration Rights Agreement shall be determined solely under the provisions of the Registration Rights Agreement and not this Agreement, and shall not constitute any part of the I-Minerals Payment.

d. Amendments to Yearly Options after Filing of Registration Statement. The Plaintiffs and the Ball Entities agree that, during the period beginning on the filing of the Registration Statement by I-Minerals with the SEC and (without limiting any of I- Minerals’ obligations to maintain the effectiveness of a registration statement under the Registration Rights Agreement) ending on the earlier of the date the registration statement is withdrawn by I-Minerals and the filing by I-Minerals of a post-effective amendment to de-register the resale of any unsold securities under the registration statement (in each case, in accordance with the terms of the Registration Rights Agreement), except with the prior written consent of I-Minerals:

No amendments will be made to the terms and conditions of the Yearly Options; and

ii.

No changes will be made to the optionees or the optionors of the Yearly Options other than as permitted pursuant to the terms of this Agreement.

e. Furnishing of Information about Plaintiffs and Joinder to Registration Rights Agreement in Certain Circumstances. If, after the filing of a Registration Statement by I-Minerals pursuant to the Registration Rights Agreement, the SEC requests or orders that either (or both) (i) the Registration Statement be amended or re-filed to cover the resale by any of the Plaintiffs of Option Shares or Bonus Shares received or to be received upon the exercise of a Yearly Option, or (ii) I-Minerals otherwise provide or disclose information regarding any of the Plaintiffs (whether in the Registration Statement or otherwise), the Plaintiffs shall, acting reasonably and in good faith:

Furnish to I-Minerals such information regarding themselves, the Option Shares and Bonus Shares held by them or acquirable by them upon exercise of the Yearly Options, and the intended method of disposition of such securities as shall be required to effect the registration of those securities or otherwise to provide or disclose such information as may be requested or ordered by the SEC; and

GLOBAL SETTLEMENT AND ABSOLUTE RELEASE AGREEMENT – PAGE 13

ii.

If the SEC requests additional information than that requested in Section 3(e)(i), Plaintiffs will reasonably and in good faith cooperate with I- Minerals in making available such information to effectuate the SEC’s acceptance of registration.

f. Compliance with NI 45-102. The Ball Entities agree to use commercially reasonable efforts to comply with the provisions of Section 2.8 of Canadian National Instrument 45-102 Resale of Securities (“NI 45-102”) with respect to the transfer or sale of the Option Shares and the Bonus Shares pursuant to the Yearly Options.

4. Dismissal. Within five (5) days of the Parties executing this Agreement, the Parties authorize and instruct their respective attorneys to file a Stipulation of Dismissal with Prejudice in the Ada Lawsuit, the Nez Perce Lawsuit, and the Latah Lawsuit, with each Party to bear its own costs and attorneys’ fees in each such lawsuit, except as provided in paragraph 5 below. The Parties acknowledge and agree that due to the derivative nature of some of the claims, the Parties may be required to obtain Court approval to dismiss the Lawsuits. The Parties agree in good faith to cooperate with one another in the submission of necessary documentation to support the dismissal of the various Lawsuits. The “Effective Date” of this Agreement shall be the date that the final Lawsuit is dismissed with prejudice. In the event all applicable Courts do not approve the settlement of all claims set forth in the Lawsuits, then this Agreement shall be null and void.

5. Attorneys’ Fees Incurred by the Parties. In prosecuting and defending the Lawsuits, the Parties have incurred attorneys’ fees and costs. The Parties agree that in no event shall any of the Parties be required to pay any of the attorneys’ fees or costs due to or incurred by any other Party related to the Lawsuits. Notwithstanding the forgoing, pursuant to I.C. §30-6-906, IIM Members may be responsible for attorney fees owed to Xxxxxxx Law Offices for prosecuting a derivative lawsuit on behalf of IIM. It is understood and agreed by the Plaintiffs and the Ball Entities that, while BVNR is a member of IIM, it has been an adverse party throughout this litigation and is therefore exempt from any responsibility for paying fees due or owing to Xxxxxxx Law Offices by IIM.

6. No Admission. The Parties expressly recognize that any payments or agreements made herein shall not be considered admission of any liability or responsibility for, or of the correctness of, any of the claims that were or may have been asserted by the Parties, but are made solely for purposes of avoiding the costs and/or risks of further litigation.

7. No Further Actions.

a. Against Defendants. Except as compelled by legal process, after receipt of the I-Minerals Payment, Plaintiffs, including the Xxxxxx Estate, for themselves and on behalf of their past, present and future companies, subsidiaries, parent companies, divisions, affiliates (including NWK), members (including the interest of IIM owned by the Xxxxxx Estate), partners, beneficiaries, employees, officers, directors, attorneys, agents, trustees and co-trustees, heirs, executors, administrators, successors, and assigns, and any of their legal representatives, agree never to commence, join, encourage, aid, assert,

DEFINITIONS

Definitions. For the purposes of this Agreement, the following items shall have the meanings set forth below:

“Agreement” means this “Assignment Agreement with Contingent Right of Reverter,” including all exhibits and schedules, all of which are incorporated by this reference.

“ALY” shall have the meaning set forth in the introduction to this Agreement and includes its U.S. subsidiary, AlchemyKaolin Inc.

“Effective Date” shall have the meaning set forth in the introduction to this Agreement.

“Feasibility Study” means a comprehensive description of the construction, development, mining, processing, and marketing plan for the commercial products produced from the Mineral(s) extracted from the Properties.

The Feasibility Study shall contain estimates of both capital and operating costs and shall analyze how to proceed with mining operations to economically and commercially extract the target Mineral(s), identify the optimum structure for the mining venture, and include reference to relevant marketing and financial aspects.

“IIM” shall have the meaning set forth in the introduction to this Agreement and includes, as appropriate for context, its wholly owned subsidiary, Northwest Kaolin Inc., an Idaho corporation. (For purposes of improving the clarity of the granting language, the first reference to IIM and Northwest kaolin Inc. specifically identifies both companies, instead just using the collective term “IIM” to describe both entities.)

“Lease Applications” shall mean the sixteen (16) mineral lease applications in the Xxxxxx-Xxxxxx region of Latah County, Idaho on file with the IDL in the names of Xxxxxxx X. Xxxxxx and Northwest Kaolin Inc as more fully described in Exhibits A, parts 1 and 2.

“Lease” and “Leases” shall mean the form of instrument issued by the IDL pursuant to a Lease Application that provides for a vested right to mine the Minerals applied for in the Lease Application and any intervening grant of right by the IDL that may be less than a vested right to mine whether for all or part of the Properties.

“Mineral” means kaolinite, clays of any type and all other minerals, including, without limitation, feldspar, quartz, and micas, subject only to the limitations that may be imposed by the State.

“Permitting Process” shall have the meaning ascribed in subsection 2.1.3 herein.

“Person” means any legal person, including, without limitation, an individual, a partnership, a joint venture, a corporation, a trust, limited liability company, other business entity, an unincorporated organization or a government or any department or agency thereof.

1.1.1 the exclusive right to enter, take possession and use the Properties covered by the Lease Applications;

1.1.2 the exclusive right to convert the Lease Applications to a Lease(s); however, ALY shall notify IIM promptly of any action by the State to issue a Lease.

1.3 Execution of Instruments. The Parties shall execute such instruments and provide such correspondence as is reasonably necessary to effect the assignment of the Lease Applications described in the Paragraph 1.1; however, it is anticipated by the Parties that:

(1) the assignment of the Fourteen Lease Applications will be effected in the IDL records by resubmitted the State “Assignment of Mineral, Oil and Gas, And/Or Geothermal Resources Lease(s),” executed by Xxxxxxx X. and Xxxxxx Xxxxxx, dated July 9, 2001 (Exhibit B); and

(2) the assignment of the Two Lease Applications will be effected in the IDL records by NWK’s execution, simultaneously with this Agreement, of the attached State “Assignment of Mineral, Oil and Gas, And/Or Geothermal Resources lease(s)” (Exhibit C) form for delivery by ALY to the IDL.

1.4 Term. The Term of this Agreement shall commence on the Effective Date and shall continue for a period of three (3) years (the “Term”), unless sooner terminated as provided in this Agreement.

1.5 Supercedes and Replaces. This Agreement is the “Agreement in Full” contemplated by Agreement 4; however, this Agreement supercedes and replaces all prior agreements between the Parties and their predecessors in interest relating to the Lease Applications and Properties including, but not limited to, the agreements in principle and Agreements #1, 2, 3 and 4, described in the Recitals.

1.6 IIM’s Representations Regarding the Lease Applications.

SECTION 2

2.1 Consideration. The purchase price (the “Purchase Price”) for the assignment of Lease Applications shall be One Million Seven Hundred Fifty Thousand (1,750,000) common shares of ALY, subject to such timing, terms, conditions, and restrictions as may be imposed by the Canadian Venture Exchange (“CDNX”), to be delivered by ALY to IIM on the following schedule. Not later than thirty (30) calendar days after the occurrence of each of the following described events, ALY shall deliver to IIM common shares of ALY in the amounts specified below:

2.1.3 Upon Lease Issuance. Upon the State of Idaho issuing Leases to ALY for all acreage subject to the Lease Application, ALY shall deliver to IIM, Three Hundred Fifty Thousand (350,000) common shares of ALY. In the event that the State issues Leases on less than all of the Lease Applications, then the number of shares issued shall be proportionate to the percent of the acreage converted to Lease relative to the amount of acres covered by the Lease Applications; the remaining shares of this 350,000 shall be paid upon the occurrence of Paragraph 2.1.5 below, as additional shares to the 400,000 shares already provided for in Paragraph 2.1.5. In the event that ALY, in its sole discretion, voluntarily agrees to accept Leases from the State for less than all of the acreage subject to the Lease Applications, then ALY shall either pay the additional shares to IIM pursuant to this Paragraph 2.1.3 or ALY shall reassign such Lease Applications per Paragraph 3.4 below.

2.1.4 Upon Completion of a Permitting Process. Upon completion of the Permitting Process, ALY shall deliver to IIM, Five Hundred Thousand (500,000) common shares of ALY. The “Permitting Process” means the activities and time period required to obtain all federal, state or local government permits, licenses or other approvals (including water rights) necessary for ALY (or its subsidiaries or affiliates), to construct and operate commercial mining and beneficiation facilities on the Properties, including, if required, through the development of a Production Plant.

2.1.5 Upon Completion of a Production Plant and First Delivery of Commercial Product. Upon completion of the first delivery of a Commercial Product from a Production Plant, ALY shall deliver to IIM, Four Hundred Thousand (400,000) common shares of ALY. The “first delivery of Commercial Product” shall be when ALY sells the product from beneficiating Mineral(s) in its Production Plant to a third-party end user or agent or broker for end users in commercially reasonable quantities at a cash amount representing the fair market value for the product so delivered.

2.2 Acceptance and Performance. By accepting the shares when tendered by ALY, IIM unconditionally accepts that ALY has completed the performance requirement associated with each block of shares being delivered as provided in Section 2.1 above. IIM shall have fourteen (14) calendar days from the delivery of the shares to provide Notice objecting to the completion ALY’s deliverable and returning the tendered shares. If IIM has not tendered a return of the shares within said fourteen (14) calendar days, then the associated deliverable for ALY will be deemed accepted. In the event of an alleged default by ALY, IIM shall describe with reasonable specificity the alleged default in ALY’s performance that gives rise to any declaration of nonperfomance, and the procedures described in Section 10 hereof shall be applicable. Failure to declare a default at such time shall be deemed a waiver of IIM’s rights to declare a default at a later date.

2.3 Verification of Authorization. With each tendered delivery of shares as provided in Subsections 2.1.1 through 2.1.4, ALY shall provide IIM with certified copies of the resolutions of ALY’s board of directors and its shareholders, if applicable, authorizing the issuance of common shares, subject to the parameters imposed by the CDNX. Similarly, with each tendered delivery of shares as provided in Subsections 2.1.1 through 2.1.4, IIM shall provide ALY with certified copies of the resolutions of IIM’s board of directors and IIM’s shareholders, if applicable, authorizing the acceptance of common shares of ALY.

2.4 Other Items. ALY shall also deliver such other documents as IIM may reasonable request in connection with the transaction contemplated by this Agreement. IIM shall also deliver such other documents as ALY shall reasonably request in connection with the transactions contemplated by this Agreement.

2.5 Adjustments. The Purchase Price is for an undivided One Hundred Percent (100%) interest in the Lease Applications, subject to paramount title held by the State. In the event that there is an outstanding right, title or interest including, without limitation, an outstanding lien or encumbrance on the title, or if the IIM holds less than an undivided One Hundred Percent (100%) interest in the Lease Applications, subject to the paramount interest held by the State, then the purchase price shall be adjusted in accordance with the provisions of Section 7.4 (Lesser Interest). Such adjustment may be made by offset from future issues of ALY common, if ALY so chooses.

SECTION 3
CONTINGENT RIGHT OF REVERTER

3.1 Retention of Revisionary Interest. By the assignment and grant provided for in Paragraph 1.1, IIM reserves a right of reverter of the Lease Applications (or leases acquired thereby), upon failure of ALY to complete all of its deliverables described in Section 2 by the end of the Term or upon ALY terminating work on development of the Properties. This Contingent Right of Reverter may be enforced in equity; the Parties recognize that an adequate remedy at law might not exist. The governing jurisdiction for equitable and legal remedies shall be as provided in Paragraph 14.1.

3.2 Allegation of Failure to Complete Deliverables. ALY shall have the entire Term to complete the deliverables provided for in Paragraph 2.1, which may be extended by Force Majeure. If ALY has tendered all of the common shares in association with the performance deliverables described in Subparagraphs 2.1.1 through 2.1.4, then IIM must have rejected or re-tendered, as provided for in Paragraph 2.2, at least one block of shares in order to preserve a claim of default and its Contingent Right of Reverter.

3.3 Resolution of Contingent Right of Reverter. The procedure for claiming a default, as provided in Section 10, shall govern the initiation and enforcement of the Contingent Right of Reverter by IIM. If ALY does not dispute the claim that it has failed to complete the deliverables described in Paragraph 2.1 within the Term, or that it cannot so complete such deliverables within the time period allowed under Subparagraph 10.1.2, then ALY shall promptly reconvey to NWK or to IIM, as designated by IIM, the Lease Applications covered thereby in a format recognizable and acceptable to the IDL office. IF IIM has accepted all of the shares as provided for in Paragraph 2.2, then the Contingent Right of Reverter shall automatically expire upon the expiration of the Term of this Agreement and shall not survive the expiration of this Agreement.

3.4 Reassignment. It is agreed that if ALY should choose to abandon any of the Lease Applications (or Leases derived from such Lease Applications) listed on Exhibit A, then ALY shall provide IIM with Notice of such intent, and IIM shall have the option for fourteen (14) days from receipt of such Notice to cause ALY to execute a reassignment instrument. In addition, ALY will execute an appropriate State assignment form, and shall generally cooperate with IIM and the State to implement the intent of such reassignment; however, ALY does not represent or warrant that the State will accept such reassignment, nor shall ALY bear any of the costs associated with reassignment.

3.5 Notice. In the event that the State of Idaho provides notice to ALY that any Lease Application or Lease is deemed invalid, out of compliance or otherwise subject to termination of rights, ALY shall provide IIM with this is same information within 48 hours of ALY receiving actual notice.

SECTION 4
RELEASE

4.1 Release of Claims. As of the Effective Date, each party to this Agreement releases and discharges the other as well as any of its officers, directors, shareholders, agents, employees, attorneys, successors, heirs, devisees, assigns, affiliates, related organizations, if any, and any other persons, firms or corporations in interest with them, or any of them, of and from all contracts, agreements, understandings, claims, liabilities, demands, liens, debts, loans, obligations, accounts, causes of action and/or suit of any and every nature, known or unknown, for damages or otherwise, at law or in equity (“Claims”), which each party may have or claim to have had against the other including without limitation: Claims related to ownership of the Lease Applications; Claims related to any previous agreements or alleged agreements between or among any of the Parties hereto; Claims of breach of any understanding or agreement related to the Lease Applications and the proposed mining of Mineral(s) by predecessors in interest of the Parties, and Claims of compensation owing or due in the form of fees, wages, royalties or and any other obligation for sums due and owing from any of the Parties that arose from or may arise from actions or omissions of the Parties or their predecessors in interest prior to the Effective Date.

SECTION 5
Performance Obligations

5.1 Operational Performance of ALY. ALY shall conduct all activities on the Properties in a good and workmanlike manner and in compliance with all applicable laws and regulations and permits, including those related to environment and reclamation. ALY shall promptly pay all outstanding debts. ALY shall use its good faith effort to obtain all governmental approvals required to exercise its rights granted hereunder; however, and IIM agrees to cooperate with ALY in the Permitting Process, including granting and documenting any required consent. ALY shall owe no duties to IIM except as provided in this Agreement.

5.2. Obligation to Maintain the Lease Applications (or Leases acquired thereby). ALY shall use its good faith efforts to cause the Lease Applications to be converted to Leases and ALY shall seek to do so as promptly as reasonably possible under the entirety of circumstances, and to keep any Leases acquired in good standing under the laws of the State while this Agreement is in effect, including the payment of fees and the filing of necessary reports. The Parties recognize that converting the Lease Applications to Leases potentially involves a discretionary decision by the State; the Parties shall use their good faith efforts to obtain Leases for all of the Lease Applications. It is understood by the Parties that if the State fails to issue Leases covering sufficient lands to support ALY’s anticipated production operations, this may be deemed Force Majeure pursuant to Section 6 hereunder, so long as the terms and conditions in Section 6 are satisfied.

5.3 Claims and Liens. ALY shall pay and satisfy all claims and liens for materials, supplies and labor used in connection with ALY’s operations on the Properties, and shall keep the Lease Application (or Lease acquired thereby) free and clear from any and all liens and encumbrances, except any such lien or encumbrance that may result from the actions of parties other than ALY, its agents, employees, and contractors, and excepting any such lien or encumbrance that is in good faith being subject to active challenge or appeal during the pendency of such challenge or appeal.

5.4 Coordinating with the State. ALY shall maintain close contact with the State at all reasonable times to keep the relevant agencies informed of current and planned activities relating to the Properties regardless of whether or not such communication may be required by law. ALY shall provide IIM with copies of any correspondence sent to, or received from, the State of Idaho and its various agencies.

5.5 Inspection. IIM, or IIM’s authorized representative may at any reasonable time, inspect ALY’s activities, but such representative shall do so at his or her own risk, and shall conduct such inspections so as not to hinder unreasonably the activities of ALY. IIM and its representatives, shall indemnify and hold ALY harmless from any costs, loss, or damage by reason of injury to IIM, or its representative in making such an inspection. ALY may refuse access to the Properties for all representatives of IIM that refuse to execute a waiver of liability in the favor of ALY before entering the Properties. IIM and/or IIM’s representative shall not disclose any of the information collected under this Agreement, except to ALY, nor shall IIM use such information to identify and/or capture corporate opportunities of ALY, or in any way compete with ALY, unless and until IIM and ALY enter into a commercially reasonable confidentiality/nondisclosure agreement, which shall include an “area of interest” clause that precludes IIM or owners of IIM from acquiring an interest in mineral property within 25 miles of the Properties without promptly offering any such interest to ALY at IIM’s cost.

SECTION 6
FORCE MAJEURE

6.1 Force Majeure.

6.1.1      Force Majeure means any cause or condition beyond the reasonable control of, and without the fault or negligence of, the party claiming Force Majeure which causes the party to be unable to perform its obligations, which by exercise of due foresight such party could not reasonably have been expected to avoid and which the party is unable to overcome by the exercise of due diligence.

6.1.2      The obligations of ALY under this Agreement shall be suspended if ALY is delayed or interrupted in or prevented from conducting any operations on the Properties, or significant portion thereof, as the result of an Act of God, fire, earthquake, hurricane, unreasonably heavy precipitation or floods, shortage of fuel supply, raw materials, or other supplies or equipment, changes in governmental laws, rules, regulations or orders adversely affecting any operations on part or all of the Properties; inability to obtain on reasonably acceptable terms any public or private license, permit or other authorization that may be required to conduct operations; any extraordinary restrictions upon, unusual delays in receiving, or failures to receive any permits, licenses, or approvals from any governmental agency; or any other cause beyond ALY’s reasonable control.

6.1.3      In such event ALY shall notify IIM in writing of the particulars of the delays or interruptions and the term of this Agreement shall be extended for a period of time equal to the period during which ALY operations are so delayed, interrupted, or prevented

6.2 Adverse Claims. If at any time during the Term of this Agreement it appears that one or more private third parties may have a claim of economic interest or ownership in the Properties or the Lease Applications (or Leases acquired thereby), ALY may claim Force Majeure for a period of time equal to the time necessary to resolve such claim(s) of economic interest or ownership in the Properties or the Lease Applications (or Leases acquired thereby).

SECTION 7
IIM’S WARRANTIES, REPRESENTATIONS & COVENANTS

7.1 IIM’s Warranties, Representations, and Covenants. Excepting only the paramount title of the State, its participating interest and production royalties, if any, IIM represents and warrants to ALY that:

7.1.1 IIM and Xxxxxx own or control the Lease Applications.

7.1.2      IIM knows of no other person claiming any interest in the Lease Applications; and the Lease Applications are free from all liens and encumbrances, except liens for property taxes not yet due and payable.

7.1.3      No royalties, fees or monies (or claims therefore) are payable or required to be paid to any person having or claiming an interest in the Lease Applications other than the State.

7.1.4      IIM has full power and authority to execute this Agreement and this Agreement is valid and binding upon it in accordance with its terms.

7.1.5      IIM knows of no violation of any applicable law or regulation relating to land use, environmental protection or otherwise with respect to the Lease Applications or activities relating thereto; and IIM represents that there is no judgment outstanding and no litigation, proceeding or governmental investigation pending or threatened against the Lease Applications or IIM in connection with the Lease Applications except as described below:

NONE

7.2 Defects In Title. In the event that any cloud or defect may arise in IIM’s title to the Lease Applications (or Leases granted thereby), except matters involving the title and rights of the State (including, without limitation, discretionary lease issuance), then at ALY’s request pursuant to Notice, IIM will take all action necessary, including judicial proceedings, to remove any cloud from and cure any defect in ALY’s title to the Lease Applications (or Lease granted thereby). If IIM fails or refuses to take such action, ALY may take such action in IIM’s name. IIM shall cooperate with ALY in any such action taken. ALY may recover from IIM, or from any payments in stock thereafter to become due to IIM under this Agreement, all costs and expenses, including reasonable attorney’s fees, incurred by ALY in such action.

7.3 Challenge to Title by State If the State attacks the validity of the Lease Applications for any reason, except ALY’s failure to comply with its obligation to maintain the Lease Applications (or Leases granted thereby) in good standing, ALY, in its sole discretion, may prosecute/defend an action in mandamus to issue lease, damages, or such other action as it may choose. However, in the event that ALY does not choose to defend/prosecute such claim, then ALY, in its sole discretion, shall provide Notice to IIM, who then may take such action in ALY’s name.

7.4 Lesser Interest. The total number of common shares deliverable to IIM pursuant to the terms of this Agreement are premised on the fact that ALY is acquiring an undivided One Hundred Percent (100%) interest in the Lease Applications subject to the paramount interest held by the State, and that ALY’s rights in the Properties are as herein set forth and are subject to no covenants, conditions, restrictions, or encumbrances other than those created by this Agreement. In the event that at any time during the term of this Agreement there is any outstanding right, title or interest in the Properties not created or caused by ALY such that for any reason ALY is not possessed of the entire interest which this Agreement purports to grant, then the number of shares deliverable to IIM under this Agreement shall be reduced by the proportion which any outstanding interest or encumbrance bears to the full unencumbered interest contracted for by ALY hereunder.

SECTION 8
DAMAGES, INSURANCE & GAURANTEE

8.1 Damages. In no event shall any Party be liable to the other Party for any consequential, special or incidental loss or damage.

8.2 Insurance. Within Ninety (90) days of the Effective Date, ALY shall obtain and maintain such insurance coverage as required by law, and such other insurance coverage as might be deemed reasonable and prudent, including, but not limited to the following types of insurance: (1) worker compensation; (2) general liability; (3) automobile; (4) fire; and (5) directors and officers (however, if directors and officers coverage cannot be obtained on commercially reasonable terms, as determined by the Alchemy Board of Directors, then no such insurance will be required.

SECTION 9
TAXES

9.1 Payment Obligation. Except as hereinafter set forth, ALY shall pay all taxes levied during the Term of this Agreement against all improvements, structures, equipment, personal property, and fixtures placed upon the Properties by ALY and all taxes levied against ALY as an employer of labor. All taxes shall be paid before delinquent, but ALY shall be under no obligation to pay any tax, so long as the tax is being contested in good faith and by appropriate legal proceedings and the nonpayment thereof does not adversely affect ALY’s right, title, or interest in or to the Premises.

SECTION 10
DEFAULT, TERMINATION & SURRENDER

10.1 Default.

10.1.1    ALY shall not be deemed to be in default hereunder until IIM shall first have given to ALY written notice of the alleged default, specifying with particularity the circumstances of the default and, if applicable, the amount of shares, which IIM claims is due and payable by ALY.

10.1.2    Such notice shall be given in accordance with Section 12 (NOTICES). ALY shall have a period of sixty (60) days from and after receipt of such notice in which to cure the default, or in the event that such default cannot be cured within sixty (60) days to initiate and diligently pursue steps to correct the default, failing which this Agreement shall terminate and all liabilities and obligations of ALY, except those liabilities existing on the date of termination, shall terminate. Any default claimed with respect to the issuance of shares may be cured by the deposit in escrow of the number and class of shares in controversy and the giving of notice of the deposit to IIM. The amount to remain in escrow until the controversy is resolved or until there has been a final disposition of the controversy by a court of competent jurisdiction.

10.1.3    Should ALY dispute the existence of the default, then this AGREEMENT shall not terminate unless ALY does not initiate and diligently pursue steps to cure the default within sixty (60) days after the default has been determined by a final decision of a court of competent jurisdiction.

10.2 Early Termination.

10.2.1    ALY may, at any time and from time to time, terminate this Agreement, as to all or any portion of the Lease Applications (or Leases granted thereby) and Properties, by notifying IIM of its intent to file for record in the IDL office (with a copy to IIM) a good and sufficient surrender or notice of termination of all or a portion of the Lease Applications (or Leases granted thereby). Upon receipt of such notification of intent to surrender or terminate, IIM, or its designated subsidiary, will have fourteen (14) calendar days to elect to receive a reassignment of such Lease Applications (or Leases granted thereby) from ALY free and clear of all liens and encumbrances or instruct ALY to proceed with filing such notice of surrender with the IDL office. In the event IIM elects to receive reassignment, ALY will execute an appropriate State assignment form, and generally shall cooperate with IIM and the State to implement the intent of such reassignment; however, ALY does not represent or warrant that the State will accept such reassignment, nor shall ALY bear any of the costs associated with reassignment. This Agreement shall terminate with respect to that portion of the Properties described in the surrender or termination notice to the IDL office, and all rights, liabilities and obligations of ALY under this Agreement with respect to that portion of the Properties described in such notice shall terminate on the date specified in the notice, except those rights which survive termination and those liabilities and obligations existing on the date of termination. If IIM elects not to re-acquire the surrendered Lease Applications (or Leases granted thereby) and Properties, then either IIM or ALY, or their subsidiaries, may apply to the IDL office for the lease to such surrendered Properties at any time thereafter, and such after-acquired Properties shall not be subject to the terms of this Agreement.

10.2.2    In the event of such termination, all equipment, machinery and supplies that have been brought upon such portion of the Properties by ALY shall be removed by ALY from the portion of the Properties so surrendered within twelve months of providing such notice except such facilities on the Properties that IIM elects to retain.

10.2.3    In the event IIM does not make an election within said fourteen (14) days or elects that ALY should surrender its interest, then ALY shall promptly file a notice of termination of interest with the IDL for the portion of the Properties so surrendered.

10.3        Continued Access. Subject to the paramount title and authorities of the State, for as long as ALY requires after termination of the Agreement, ALY shall have the right of continued access to the Properties and across the Properties for purposes of reclamation and remediation, if applicable. This grant of rights shall survive termination of this Agreement.

SECTION 11

11.1 ALY’s Data. ALY shall upon termination of this Agreement provide to IIM, upon IIM’s request, copies of all available non-interpretative information relating to ALY’s activities on the Properties.

Assignment Agreement

AMENDMENT AND RATIFICATION OF ASSIGNMENT AGREEMENT WITH CONTINGENT RIGHT OF REVERTER

KNOW ALL MEN BY THESE PRESENTS THAT:

WHEREAS, by that certain Assignment Agreement with Contingent Right of Reverter (hereafter the “Agreement”) made effective as of August 10, 2002 (the “Effective Date”), i-minerals inc. (formerly Alchemy Ventures, Ltd. “ALY”) a company incorporated pursuant to the Canada Business Corporations Act (“IMA”), received certain state mineral lease applications from Idaho Industrial Minerals, LLC., an Idaho limited liability company (“IIM”) and Northwest Kaolin, Inc., an Idaho corporation (“NWK”), collectively, referred to hereinafter as the “Parties”.

WHEREAS, a Memorandum of Assignment Agreement with Contingent Right of Reverter was recorded for notice purposes in the Latah County Recorder’s office at Moscow, ID covering the lease applications as more completely described on Exhibit A, attached hereto and incorporated herein.

WHEREAS, ALY changed its name to i-minerals inc. and was continued from the jurisdiction of the Company Act (British Columbia) to the jurisdiction of the Canada Business Corporation Act on January 22, 2004 and its wholly owned subsidiary, AlchemyKaolin, Inc., an Idaho incorporated company, changed its name to i-minerals, USA inc. in February 2005. (“IMI”); and

WHEREAS, the undersigned desire to ratify the Agreement in all its terms except as modified, amended and changed to the extent and in the manner hereinafter provided.

NOW THEREFORE, in consideration of the premises and the sum of Ten dollars ($10.00) and other valuable consideration, the receipt and sufficiency of which are hereby acknowledged, we, the undersigned, and each for itself, himself and herself, as the case may be, do hereby:

1. Replace all references to Alchemy Ventures, Ltd. (“ALY”) with i-minerals inc. (“IMA”), respectively, throughout the Agreement, except as herein amended.

2. Replace in their entirety the sections of the Agreement corresponding to the subsequent numbered sections such that the wording at each such replaced section of the Agreement will read:

1.2 Accord and Satisfaction. The Parties agree that with the issuance of a total of 1,750,000 common shares, plus such additional shares as represented by the interest accumulation calculated pursuant to Section 2.6 (Additional Consideration), of IMA to IIM, IIM releases any and all interest in the Lease Applications, Leases and Properties, as those capitalized terms are defined in the Agreement, and that IIM acknowledges that it has received full and final consideration of the transfer of the rights to the Lease Applications to IMI.

1.4 Term. The Term of this Agreement shall commence on the Effective Date and shall continue for a period of six (6) years (the “Term”), unless sooner terminated as provided in this Agreement.

2.1.2 Upon Completion of a Feasibility Study. Not later than thirty (30) days after completion of a Feasibility Study, IMA shall deliver to IIM, Four Hundred Thousand (400,000) common shares of IMA and such additional shares as calculated according to Section 2.6 (Additional Consideration), subject to any hold periods and all other restrictions as may be imposed by the TSX Venture Exchange (the “TSX.V”).

2.1.4 Upon Completion of a Permitting Process. Not later than thirty (30) days after completion of the Permitting Process, IMA shall deliver to IIM, Five Hundred Thousand (500,000) common shares of IMA such additional shares as calculated according to Section 2.6 (Additional Consideration) subject to any hold periods and all other restrictions as may be imposed by the TSX.V. The “Permitting Process” means the activities and time period required to obtain all federal, state or local government permits, licenses or other approvals (including water rights) necessary for IMI (or its successors, subsidiaries or affiliates), to construct and operate commercial mining and beneficiation facilities on the Properties, including, if required, through the development of a Production Plant.

2.1.5 On Completion of a Production Plant and First Delivery of Commercial Product. Not later than thirty (30) days after completion of the first delivery of a Commercial Product from a Production Plant, IMA shall deliver to IIM, Four Hundred Thousand (400,000) common shares of IMA such additional shares as calculated according to Section 2.6 (Additional Consideration) subject to any hold periods and all other restrictions as may be imposed by the TSX.V. The “first delivery of Commercial Product” shall be when IMI (or its successors, subsidiaries or affiliates),sells the product from beneficiating Mineral(s) in its Production Plant to a third-party end user or agent or broker for end users in commercially reasonable quantities at a cash amount representing the fair market value for the product so delivered.

3. Add to the Agreement Section 2.6 Additional Consideration to read as follows:

2.6 Additional Consideration. IIM shall receive compensation for time delays in IMI (or its successors, subsidiaries or affiliates) meeting the performance objectives as described in the Agreement, independent of whether such delays are within or outside of IMI’s control. Such compensation shall be calculated by attributing interest to such delays based on an interest rate calculated by equal weightings of the Prime Bank Lending Rate and the 10 year United States Treasury Xxxx as quoted daily in The Wall Street Journal as of the third anniversary date of this Agreement (the “Interest Rate”). The Interest Rate shall be applied against the value of the 1,300,000 un-issued shares (the “Un-issued Shares”) as of the third anniversary date of this Agreement. The Un-issued Shares shall each have a deemed value equal to the closing price of IMA’s shares on the TSX Venture Exchange as of the third anniversary date of this Agreement (the “Deemed Share Value”). The value of such interest accumulation shall be calculated by multiplying the portion of the Un-issued shares due on achievement of the milestone by the Deemed Share Value by the Interest Rate by the period of time from the third anniversary of this Agreement to the achievement of the milestone (the “Interest Accumulation”). For purposes on an example only, if the Interest Rate is 6%, the Deemed Share Value $0.25 and the 400,000 shares due on completion of a feasibility study were delivered 15 months after the third anniversary of the agreement, the related Interest Accumulation would be 400,000 * 0.25 *0.06 * 15/12 = $7,500. The interest accumulation shall be paid to IIM in additional common shares of IMA. The number of shares to be issued shall be determined by dividing the Interest Accumulation by the market price of IMA shares as of the date IMA declares the performance benchmark achieved where the market price is defined by the policies of the TSX.V Upon each performance achievement date thereafter the value of Interest Accumulation related to all remaining Un-issed Shares shall be calculated and paid to IIM in the same manner; provided, the “Un-issued Shares” and “Deemed Share Value” shall be recalculated and reset, respectively, in similar manner at each subsequently achieved milestone.

4. Ratify, adopt and confirm the Agreement in all its terms and provisions as modified, amended and changed herein, and do hereby grant, convey and assign said Lease Applications, Leases and Properties, as more fully described in Exhibit A attached hereto and incorporated by this reference, which description supercedes and replaces all previous descriptions of the Lease Applications, Leases and Properties, unto i-minerals, Inc., its successors, subsidiaries, affiliates and assigns in interest, as fully and completely as if it had originally been named as assignee in said Agreement.

5. This Amendment and Ratification and all share issuances contemplated herein are subject to the approval of the TSX Venture Exchange.

We, the undersigned, hereby declare that said Assignment Agreement with Contingent Right of Reverter in all its terms and provisions, as herein amended, is binding on us and each of us and is a valid and subsisting Assignment Agreement with Contingent Right of Reverter, which is binding, as amended, on the respective heirs, executors, administrators, successors or assigns of the undersigned.

IN WITNESS WHEREOF, this Amendment and Ratification has been executed as of the day and year first above written.

FOURTH AMENDMENT AND RATIFICATION OF THE ASSIGNEMENT AGREEMENT
WITH A CONTINGENT RIGHT OF REVERTER
Effective January 21, 2010

KNOW ALL MEN BY THESE PRESENTS THAT:

WHERESAS, by that certain Assignment Agreement with Contingent Right of Reverter (hereafter the “Agreement”) made effective as of August 10, 2002 (the “Effective Date”), i-minerals inc. (formerly Alchemy Ventures Ltd. “ALY”) a company continued to the Canada Business Corporations Act (“IMA”), received certain state mineral lease applications from Idaho Industrial Minerals LLC an Idaho limited liability company (“IIM”) and Northwest Kaolin, a Idaho corporation (“NWK”), collectively, referred to herein after as the “Parties”; and

WHEREAS, the sixteen lease applications were modified and consolidated, which became ten Mineral Leases as more completely described on Exhibit A, attached hereto and incorporated herein (the “Leases”), and the Idaho Department of Lands issued the Leases to AlchemyKaolin, inc., which later assigned the Leases to a partnership, i-minerals Xxxxxx-Xxxxxx, L.L.P.; and

WHEREAS, ALY changed its name to i-minerals inc and was continued from the jurisdiction of the Company Act (British Columbia) to the jurisdiction of the Canada Business Corporation Act on January 24, 2004 and its wholly owned subsidiary AlchemyKaolin Inc., an Idaho incorporated company, changed its name to i-minerals USA inc. in February 2005 (“IMI”); and

WHEREAS, IMA, IMI, IIM and NWK amended the Agreement effective August 10, 2005 (the “First Amendment”) to extend the term of the Agreement to six years from the Effective Date of the Agreement and arrange for additional consideration to IIM and NWK; and

WHEREAS, the First Amendment proved difficult for the TSX Venture Exchange (the “TSX.V”) to quickly approve due to the complexity of evaluating the future share consideration, and the parties rescinded the First Amendment and ratified the Agreement in all of its terms, except as modified, amended and changed by the Second Amendment And Ratification of Assignment Agreement With Contingent Right of Reverter effective as of August 10, 2005 (the “Second Amendment”), which included the same extension of the term of the Agreement to six years from its Effective Date; and

WHEREAS, the term of the Agreement as agreed to and extended by the Parties in the Second Amendment was of insufficient length for IMA to meet the share issuance milestones as set forth in the Agreement; therefore, IMA, IMI, IIM and NWK amended the Agreement effective August 10, 2008 (the “Third Amendment”) to extend the term of the Agreement to nine years from the Effective Date of the Agreement and arrange for additional consideration to IIM and NWK; and

WHEREAS, by that certain Plan of Merger filed with the Idaho Secretary of State’s Office on January 20, 2010 and made effective on the date of filing, i-minerals Xxxxxx-Xxxxxx, L.L.P. merged with i-minerals USA, inc., and the sole surviving entity is was i-minerals USA, inc., which automatically transferred the Leases to i-minerals USA, inc. by State law I.C. 00-00-000 (the Idaho Entities Transaction Act).
