Item 2.05                     Costs Associated with Exit or Disposal Activities

 

On July 6, 2010, the Eureka County Commission signed documents to relinquish a land lease held by Eureka Moly LLC (the “LLC”), an 80% owned subsidiary of General Moly, Inc. (the “Company”) in Eureka County, Nevada (the “County”).  The LLC had planned to develop housing on the lease after receipt of a Record of Decision for its Mt. Hope molybdenum mining project in the County.  The relinquishment will make the land available for more rapid housing development by the Nevada Rural Housing Authority and the County.

 

The LLC had invested approximately $5 million in preliminary development costs for the property covered by the relinquished lease.  As a result of the relinquishment, the Company expects to incur a charge of $4 million in the third quarter of 2010, reflecting its 80% portion of the relinquished lease.

 

Item 7.01                     Regulation FD Disclosure

 

On July 7, 2010, the Company issued a press release announcing the relinquishment of the lease.  A copy of the press release is attached hereto as Exhibit 99.1.

 

The information contained in this Item 7.01 and in Exhibit 99.1 shall not be deemed to be “filed” for purposes of Section 18 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, or otherwise subject to the liabilities of that Section.
