PROXY STATEMENT
Relating to
Annual Meeting of Shareholders
To be held on October 4, 2007

INTRODUCTION

This proxy statement is being furnished by the Board of Directors (the “Board of Directors” or the “Board”) of Idaho General Mines, Inc. (the “Company”) to holders of shares of the Company’s $0.001 par value common stock in connection with the solicitation by the Board of Directors of proxies to be voted at the Annual Meeting of Shareholders of the Company to be held on October 4, 2007 at 9:00 am, local Colorado time, at 1726 Cole Blvd, Suite 115, Colorado 80401, and any postponements or adjournments thereof, for purposes set forth in the accompanying Notice of Annual Meeting of Shareholders. This proxy statement and the accompanying proxy card are first being mailed to the shareholders on or about August 31, 2007.

A proxy card is enclosed for your use. You are requested on behalf of the Board of Directors to sign, date, and return the proxy card in the accompanying envelope, which is postage-paid if mailed in the United States. Your execution of the enclosed proxy will not affect your right as a shareholder to attend the Annual Meeting and to vote in person. Any shareholder giving a proxy has the right to revoke it at any time by either (i) providing the Company a later-dated proxy prior to the Annual Meeting or presenting a later-dated proxy at the Annual Meeting, (ii) providing the Secretary of the Company a written revocation prior to the Annual Meeting, or (iii) attending the Annual Meeting and voting in person.

PURPOSE OF THE ANNUAL MEETING

At the Annual Meeting, shareholders entitled to vote will be asked to consider and take action on the following matters:

·
To elect seven members to the Board of Directors to serve until the next annual meeting of shareholders and until their respective successors are elected and qualified;
·
To approve the reincorporation of the Company into the State of Delaware through a merger with a newly formed, wholly-owned Delaware subsidiary;
·

To transact such other business as may properly come before the meeting or any adjournment thereof.

As your vote is important, it is requested that you complete and sign the enclosed proxy card and mail it promptly in the postage paid return envelope provided.  Shares cannot be voted at the meeting unless the owner is present to vote or is represented by proxy.

VOTING AT ANNUAL MEETING

Record Date; Quorum. The Board of Directors of the Company has fixed the close of business on August 20, 2007 as the record date for the purpose of determining shareholders of the Company entitled to notice of and to vote at the Annual Meeting. At the close of business on that date, the Company had [ • ] issued and outstanding shares of common stock. A majority of such shares will constitute a quorum for the transaction of business at the Annual Meeting. Proxies that are submitted but are not voted for or against (whether by abstentions, broker non-votes, or otherwise) will be treated as present for all matters considered at the meeting, and will be counted for purposes of a quorum.

Solicitation of Proxies. The accompanying proxy is solicited on behalf of the Board of Directors of the Company and the entire cost of solicitation will be borne by the Company. Following the original mailing of the proxies and soliciting materials, directors, officers and employees of the Company may, but do not presently intend to, solicit proxies by mail, telephone, telegraph, or personal interviews. The Company may request brokers, custodians, nominees, and other record holders to forward copies of the proxies and soliciting materials to persons for whom they hold shares of the Company and to request authority for the exercise of proxies. In such cases the Company will reimburse such holders for their reasonable expenses. The Company may utilize the services of a proxy solicitation firm.

Revocation of Proxy. Any proxy delivered in the accompanying form may be revoked by the person executing the proxy by:

 
·
providing written notice to that effect to the Secretary of the Company at any time before the authority thereby granted is exercised;
 
·
providing a duly executed proxy bearing a later date at the Annual Meeting or to the Company prior to the Annual Meeting; or
 
·
attending the Annual Meeting and voting in person.

How Proxies will be Voted. Assuming a quorum is present, proxies received by the Board of Directors in the accompanying form will be voted at the Annual Meeting as specified therein by the person giving the proxy. All shares represented by valid proxy will be voted at the discretion of the proxy holders on any other matters that may properly come before the meeting. However, the Board of Directors does not know of any matters to be considered at the meeting other than those specified in the Notice of Annual Meeting.

Required Votes. With respect to the election of directors, the seven candidates receiving the highest number of votes will be elected. However, if any candidate does not receive a favorable vote by a majority of the votes cast in the election, under the Corporate Governance Guidelines adopted by the Board, he or she must submit their resignation from the Board of Directors. See Proposal 1 for further discussion of the majority voting provisions of the Corporate Governance Guidelines. With respect to the approval of the Company’s reincorporation, amendment to the 2006 Equity Incentive Plan, and amendment to the Shareholder Rights Agreement to accelerate the termination date of the Shareholder Rights Agreement, the affirmative vote of a majority of the votes cast is required.

Effect of Abstentions and Broker Non-Votes. Abstentions occur when shareholders abstain from voting for the nominees for director or abstain from voting on other proposals. Brokers and other intermediaries, holding shares in street name for their customers, are generally required to vote the shares in the manner directed by their customers. If their customers do not give any direction, brokers may vote the shares on routine matters, such as the election of directors, but not on non-routine matters. The absence of a vote on a non-routine matter is referred to as a broker non-vote. Any shares represented at the Annual Meeting but not voted (whether by abstention, broker non-vote or otherwise) will have no impact in the election of directors, except to the extent that the failure to vote for an individual results in another individual receiving a larger proportion of votes. Any shares represented at the Annual Meeting but not voted (whether by abstention, broker non-vote or otherwise) with respect to the proposal to approve the Company’s reincorporation, amendment to the 2006 Equity Incentive Plan and approve an amendment to the Shareholder Rights Agreement to accelerate the termination date of the Shareholder Rights Agreement will have the no effect on a vote for such proposal.

Voting Power. Shareholders of the common stock of the Company are entitled to one vote for each share held. There is no cumulative voting for directors.

PROPOSAL 1: ELECTION OF DIRECTORS

The Board of Directors currently consists of nine members but will be reduced to seven following the Annual Meeting. The Company’s directors are to be elected at each annual meeting of shareholders. At this Annual Meeting, seven directors are to be elected to serve until the next annual meeting of shareholders and until their successors are elected and qualified. The nominees for election as directors at this Annual Meeting set forth in the table below are all recommended by the Board of Directors of the Company.

In the event that any of the nominees for director should become unable to serve if elected, it is intended that shares represented by proxies which are executed and returned will be voted for such substitute nominee(s) as may be recommended by the Company’s existing Board of Directors.

The seven nominees receiving the highest number of votes cast at the Annual Meeting will be elected as the Company’s directors to serve until the next annual meeting of shareholders or until their successors are elected and qualified. Pursuant to the Corporate Governance Guidelines adopted by the Board of Directors, if a nominee for director does not receive the vote of at least a majority of the votes cast at any meeting for the election of directors at which a quorum is present and in which the number of nominees does not exceed the number of directors to be elected, no successor has been elected at such meeting and the director is required to promptly tender his or her resignation to the Board of Directors.  For purposes of the policy, a majority of votes cast means that the number of shares voted “for” a director’s election exceeds the number of votes cast “against” that director's election.  The Corporate Governance and Nominating Committee will consider the resignation and make a recommendation to the Board as to whether to accept or reject the tendered resignation, or whether other action should be taken.  The Board will act on the tendered resignation, taking into account the recommendation of the Corporate Governance and Nominating Committee, within 90 days from the date of the certification of the election results, and publicly disclose its decision promptly thereafter.  The Corporate Governance and Nominating Committee, in making its recommendation, and the Board in making its decision, may each consider any factors or other information that it considers appropriate and relevant.  The director who tenders his or her resignation will not participate in the recommendation of the Corporate Governance and Nominating Committee or the decision of the Board with respect to his or her resignation.  If no director receives a majority of shares cast in an uncontested election, then the incumbent directors will nominate a new slate of directors and hold a special meeting for the purpose of electing those nominees within 180 days after certification of the shareholder vote.

THE BOARD RECOMMENDS A VOTE “FOR” THE 7 NOMINEES

Audit and Finance Committee.
 
Our Audit and Finance Committee members are: Mark A. Lettes (Chairman), Norman A. Radford, Ricardo M. Campoy, and John Benjamin, all being independent directors in accordance with the listing standards of the American Stock Exchange (“AMEX”). The Audit and Finance Committee held six meetings in 2006. The Audit and Finance Committee recommends a firm of independent certified public accountants to audit the annual financial statements; discusses and approves in advance the scope of the audit with the auditors; reviews with the independent auditors their independence, the financial statements, and their audit report; reviews management’s administration of the system of internal accounting controls; and reviews our procedures relating to business ethics.  Our Board of Directors has approved a written Audit and Finance Committee charter, a copy of which was filed as an appendix to our Proxy Statement for the 2006 annual meeting of shareholders. Mark A. Lettes is deemed the committee’s financial expert.
 
Compensation Committee.
 
Our Compensation Committee is composed of Ricardo M. Campoy (Chairman), Mark A. Lettes, Norman A. Radford and Richard F. Nanna. The Compensation Committee held two meetings in 2006. The primary purposes of the Compensation Committee are:  (i) to assist the Board of Directors in discharging its responsibilities in respect of compensation of our executive officers, including setting salary and annual bonus levels for our senior executive officers as well as overseeing the senior staff bonus plans, subject to the approval of the Board of Directors; (ii) to review and evaluate compensation information for inclusion in our filings with the Securities and Exchange Commission; (iii) to provide recommendations to the Board of Directors in connection with directors’ compensation; and (iv) to provide recommendations to the Board of Directors in connection with succession planning for our senior management. Our Board of Directors has approved a written Compensation Committee charter.
 
Nominating Committee.
 
Our Nominating Committee members are: Richard Nanna (Chairman), Gene W. Pierson, Mark Lettes, Ricardo Campoy, Norm Radford, and John Benjamin. The Nominating Committee held two meetings in 2006. The responsibilities of the Nominating Committee include (i) developing policies on the size and composition of the Board for election or re-election and reviewing and developing the Board’s criteria for selecting new directors, including standards for director independence and competence; (ii) reviewing possible candidates for Board membership consistent with the Board’s criteria for selecting new directors; (iii) conducting an annual performance evaluation of the individual directors and of the Board as a whole; (iv) annually recommending a slate of nominees to the Board with respect to nominations for the Board at the annual meeting of our shareholders; (v) making recommendations to the Board relating to the composition of Board committees; (vi) advising the Board on committee member qualifications, committee member appointments and removals, committee structure and operations (including authority to delegate to subcommittees), and committee reporting to the Board; and (vii) maintaining an orientation program for new directors and a continuing education program for all directors.
 
Our Board of Directors has approved a written Nominating Committee charter. The functions of the Nominating Committee are described in the Nominating Committee Charter and include, among other things, identifying individuals qualified to become members of the Board and selecting or recommending to the Board the nominees to stand for election as directors.

Our shareholders may recommend director nominees, and the Nominating Committee will consider nominees recommended by shareholders. To date, we have not received any recommendations from our shareholders requesting that the Board or any of its committees consider a nominee for inclusion among the Board’s slate of nominees in this proxy statement. A shareholder wishing to submit a director nominee recommendation should comply with the provisions of our bylaws and the provisions set forth in this proxy statement under the heading “Shareholder Proposals and Recommendations for Director Nominees for the 2008 Annual Meeting.” We anticipate that nominees recommended by shareholders will be evaluated in the same manner as nominees recommended by anyone else, although the Nominating Committee may prefer nominees who are personally known to the existing directors and whose reputations are highly regarded. The Nominating Committee will consider all relevant qualifications as well as the needs of the company in terms of compliance with SEC rules.

While the selection of qualified directors is a complex, subjective process that requires consideration of many intangible factors, the Nominating Committee and the Board takes into account the following criteria, among others, in considering directors and candidates for the Board:

·
judgment, experience, skills and personal character of the candidate; and
·
the needs of the Board.
 
The Nominating Committee conducts a process of making a preliminary assessment of each proposed nominee based upon the resume and biographical information, an indication of the individual’s willingness to serve and other background information. This information is evaluated against the criteria set forth above and our specific needs at that time. Based upon a preliminary assessment of the candidate(s), those who appear best suited to meet our needs may be invited to participate in a series of interviews, which are used as a further means of evaluating potential candidates. On the basis of information learned during this process, the Nominating Committee determines which nominee(s) to recommend to the Board to submit for election at the next annual meeting. The Nominating Committee uses the same process for evaluating all nominees, regardless of the original source of the nomination.
 
Independent Directors
 
Of the nine persons who currently make up our Board of Directors, the Board has determined that Messrs. Benjamin, Pierson, Radford, Nanna, Lettes, and Campoy are independent directors under the listing standards of AMEX.

Section 16(a) Beneficial Ownership Reporting Compliance

Section 16(a) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 requires our officers, directors, and any person who beneficially owns more than 10% of our common stock to file reports of ownership and changes in ownership with the Securities and Exchange Commission. Executive officers, directors, and more than 10% shareholders are required by regulation to furnish us with copies of all Section 16(a) forms which they file. During 2006, certain of our directors and executive officers who own our stock filed Forms 3 or Forms 4 with the Securities and Exchange Commission. The information on these filings reflects the current ownership position of all such individuals. To the best of our knowledge, during 2006 all such filings by our officers and directors were made timely, except that due to an administrative error in each instance, Forms 4 were not filed in a timely manner for the following officers and directors: John B. Benjamin (1); Robert Llee Chapman (2); Richard F. Nanna (1); Gene W. Pierson (2); Norman A. Radford (1); Robert David Russell (1); and Robert L. Russell (1).

We believe our Code of Conduct and Ethics is reasonably designed to deter wrongdoing and promote honest and ethical conduct; provide full, fair, accurate, timely and understandable disclosure in public reports; comply with applicable laws; ensure prompt internal reporting of code violations; and provide accountability for adherence to the code.
 
AUDIT COMMITTEE REPORT

The Board of Directors has appointed the members of the Audit and Finance Committee. The Audit and Finance Committee is governed by a charter that the Board of Directors approved and adopted and which will be reviewed and reassessed annually by the Audit and Finance Committee. The Audit and Finance Committee is comprised of four independent directors.

The Board of Directors has charged the Audit and Finance Committee with a number of responsibilities, including review of the adequacy of the Company’s financial reporting, accounting systems, and internal controls. The Company’s independent auditors report directly and are ultimately accountable to the Audit and Finance Committee.

Management is responsible for the preparation and integrity of the Company’s financial statements. The independent registered public accounting firm is responsible for performing an independent audit of the Company’s consolidated financial statements in accordance with generally accepted auditing standards and for issuing a report thereon. The Audit and Finance Committee has independently met and held discussions with management and the independent registered public accounting firm.

In the discharge of its responsibilities, the Audit and Finance Committee has reviewed and discussed with management and the independent auditors the Company’s audited financial statements for fiscal year 2006. In addition, the Audit and Finance Committee has discussed with the independent auditors matters such as the quality (in addition to acceptability), clarity, consistency, and completeness of the Company’s financial reporting, as required by Statement on Auditing Standards No. 61, Communication with Audit Committees, as amended by Statement on Auditing Standards No. 90, Audit Committee Communications.

The Audit and Finance Committee has received from the independent auditors written disclosures and a letter concerning the independent auditors’ independence from the Company, as required by Independence Standards Board Standard No. 1, Independence Discussions with Audit Committees. The Audit and Finance Committee also received from the independent auditors a letter indicating there were no material issues raised by the independent auditors’ most recent internal quality control review, or by any inquiry or investigation by governmental or professional authorities within the preceding five years. These disclosures have been reviewed by the Committee and discussed with the independent auditors.

Based on these reviews and discussions, the Audit and Finance Committee recommended to the Board that the audited financial statements be included in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-KSB for the year ended December 31, 2006 as filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission.

CERTAIN RELATIONSHIPS AND RELATED TRANSACTIONS

Our Audit and Finance Committee reviews any transaction involving the Company and a related party at least once a year or upon any significant change in the transaction or relationship. For these purposes, a “related party transaction” includes any transaction required to be disclosed pursuant to Item 404 of Regulation S-K.

On August 16, 2006, the Company entered into an employment agreement effective August 14, 2006 with Andrew J.

Russell was paid $150,000 per year and was granted a stock option to purchase 60,000 shares at $2.10 per share, the closing price of the Company’s stock on August 15, 2006. In January 2007, the Company amended and restated its employment agreement with Mr. Andrew Russell. Under the amended and restated employment agreement, the Company paid Mr. Russell $200,000 per year and granted him a stock option to purchase 140,000 shares at $2.78 per share, the closing price of the Company’s stock on January 30, 2007. Further, the Company issued an additional 90,000 shares of nonvested common stock at $2.78 that will vest based on certain performance based milestones.


EXECUTIVE COMPENSATION

Compensation Discussion and Analysis

Introduction

The Compensation Committee (the “Committee”) of our Board of Directors sets total compensation for our executive officers, including the Chief Executive Officer, the Chief Financial Officer and the Executive Vice President of Business Strategies, Development and Investor Relations. These are our “Named Executive Officers” who are identified in the tables below.

We are in the early stages of exploring and developing molybdenum dominant projects, including the Mt. Hope and Hall-Tonopah molybdenum deposits in Nevada. We do not have any operations and have relatively few employees. Because of our size and early stage of development, the Company does not have a broad-based, detailed executive compensation program. Instead, we have a simple executive compensation program that is intended to provide appropriate compensation for our executive officers. The program currently has only three major components: salary, annual bonus and equity-based incentives, such as stock options and restricted stock awards. The program’s overall objective is to enable us to obtain and retain the services of skilled executives. The compensation program seeks to enhance shareholder value by aligning the financial interests of our executive officers with those of our shareholders. For example, our equity-based compensation program is designed to retain the individual executive officer and to align his long-term financial interests with those of our shareholders. We also have designed our compensation program to motivate and reward executives whose knowledge, skills and performance are critical to our success.

The compensation program reflects the fact that we operate with a small team of executives. Our executives are each charged with a variety of responsibilities that encompass both our strategic objectives and our day-to-day activities. Compensation depends to a significant extent on the achievement of annual and long-term performance goals.
 
11

 
The compensation packages for our executive officers are designed to promote teamwork as well as individual initiative and achievement. We have entered into employment agreements with each of our executive officers, which are described below. We believe that these employment agreements are necessary to grow the company and to increase our shareholder value. Each employment agreement sets the compensation for the individual executive officer. In establishing the agreement with each executive officer, the Committee takes into account many factors, including the individual’s prior business experience, historical compensation levels, work performance, and retention considerations and our business need for the executive’s skills. The Committee also considered input from third party compensation consultants, external market data, and the individual experience of the Committee members.

Elements of Compensation

Our compensation program has three principal elements: salary, annual bonus, and equity-based incentives. The remaining compensation, paid through employee benefits, is not significant in amount or as a percentage of any executive’s compensation. Each of these components is discussed further below.

Base Salary. We recognize that paying a reasonable base salary is necessary in order for us to obtain and retain the services of skilled executives. We establish our executives’ salaries on consideration of, among other things, the scope of their responsibilities, taking into account competitive market compensation for similar positions, seniority of the individual, and our ability to replace the individual, as well as the median of the range of salaries for executives in similar positions with similar responsibilities at comparable companies. Base salaries are reviewed annually by the Committee and our Board and may be adjusted pursuant to this annual review. An adjustment to a salary may be made, for example, to align that salary with market levels, taking into account the individual’s responsibilities, performance and experience. The salaries of our executive officers were well below the median through 2006, reflecting the underfunding of a startup company. However, salaries were adjusted in 2007 to reflect salaries paid to individuals in operating companies with similar positions and responsibilities.

Discretionary Performance Bonus. Our Board has the authority to award discretionary bonuses to our executive officers based upon their performance and efforts. We believe it is reasonable and necessary to compensate our executive officers with bonus payments for achieving financial, operational and strategic goals. Bonus amounts are intended to reward both achievement of company goals and individual performance. Annual bonuses have traditionally been paid to executive officers to recognize specific accomplishments and overall performance.

Long-Term Equity Incentive Program. We focus on creating long-term value for our shareholders by aligning the financial interests of our executive officers with those of our shareholders, since the price of our stock is the principal factor in shareholder value over time. We believe that stock-based incentives through stock options and restricted stock awards ensure that our executive officers have a continuing stake in our long-term success. We have issued stock options to our executive officers under our 2003 Stock Option Plan (sometimes hereinafter referred to as the “2003 Plan”) and 2006 Equity Incentive Plan (sometimes hereinafter referred to as the “2006 Plan” and the 2003 Plan and 2006 Plan, together are sometimes hereinafter referred to as the “Plans”) and outside of any formal plan. Stock option awards are principally given at the start of employment with vesting complete by the end of the officer’s second anniversary of employment.

The Board adopted the Plans to give us greater ability to attract, retain, and motivate our officers and key employees and is intended to provide us with the ability to provide incentives that are more directly linked to the success of our business and increases in shareholder value. Our Board determined that options issuable pursuant to the 2003 Plan will be utilized solely for the purpose of granting incentive stock options, or ISOs, for employees. Subject to the terms and conditions of the 2003 Plan, the Committee determines the recipients, grant dates, the numbers and types of stock options to be granted and the terms and conditions of the stock options, including the option term, vesting schedule and exercise price.
 
12

 
Our 2006 Plan provides for the grant of ISOs, nonqualified stock options, restricted stock awards, restricted stock units and stock appreciation rights, which may be granted to our employees (including officers), directors and consultants, to retain the services of participants, to secure and retain the services of new members of this group and to provide incentives for such persons to exert maximum efforts for the success of the company. Each award is subject to an agreement between the company and the recipient of the grant reflecting the terms and conditions of the award. Subject to the terms of the 2006 Plan, the Committee determines recipients, grant dates, the numbers and types of stock awards to be granted and the terms and conditions of the stock awards, including the period of their exercisability and vesting. The Committee also determines the exercise price of options granted, the purchase price for restricted stock and restricted stock units, and, if applicable, the strike price for stock appreciation rights.
 
Employee Benefits. Our executive officers participate in the same employee benefit programs (health and dental insurance) as other employees, and on the same basis with our other employees.

Timing of Compensation Decisions

Salary adjustments and bonus awards have typically been made at the Committee and Board meetings held in January. Adjustments to salary and bonus awards are based on the individual executive officer’s performance in the prior fiscal year and are awarded in January.

Individual Executive Officers

Each executive officer is considered individually in the compensation setting process. In setting cash compensation, the primary factors are the scope of the executive officer’s duties and responsibilities, the executive officer’s performance of those duties and responsibilities, the executive officer’s experience level and tenure with us, and a general evaluation of the competition in the market for skilled executives with the executive officer’s experience. Long-term equity incentives are focused largely on retention of our executive officers and matching the financial interests of our executive officers with those of our shareholders.

Potential Payments Upon Termination or Change-In-Control

Potential payments upon termination or change in control for Mr. Russell and Mr. Hansen are set forth in their respective employment agreements, described below. Mr. Miller’s employment terminated on January 30, 2007. Upon termination, Mr. Miller was paid two times his annual salary plus an amount to cover taxes, totaling $543,275.

In addition, in the event of a change in control as defined in the Plans, all outstanding options and other awards under the Plans may be assumed, continued or substituted for by any surviving or acquiring entity. If the surviving or acquiring entity elects not to assume, continue or substitute for such awards, the vesting of such awards held by award holders whose service with us or any of our affiliates has not terminated will be accelerated and such awards will be fully vested and exercisable immediately prior to the consummation of such transaction, and the stock awards shall automatically terminate upon consummation of such transaction if not exercised prior to such event.

Employment Agreements

The following is a summary of the employment agreements that were in effect between us and each of the Named Executive Officers during the last fiscal year. In January 2007, we entered into amended and restated employment agreements with two of our Named Executive Officers and with Bruce D. Hansen who was elected as our Chief Executive Officer. In June 2007, the Board voided the Amended and Restated Employment Agreement with Robert L. Russell and the terms of the March 2005 Agreement were confirmed. These agreements are also summarized below.

Robert L. Russell

On March 31, 2005, we entered into an employment agreement with Robert L. Russell to serve as our President and Chief Executive Officer for a term of three years. The agreement provides that Mr. Russell will be paid a base salary of $180,000 per year, subject to annual increases at the discretion of the Board. In March 2006, Mr. Russell’s annual base salary was increased to $225,000 as a result of meeting corporate funding goals. In January 2007, Mr. Russell’s annual base salary was increased to $350,000. In addition to base salary, Mr. Russell is eligible to receive a discretionary cash performance bonus in an amount, if any, as determined by the Board in its sole discretion. If a change of control occurs, Mr. Russell is entitled to a bonus of not less than 30% of his base salary and any unvested stock options or restricted stock will vest immediately. In addition, upon a change of control Mr. Russell is entitled to an additional equity award that is equal to the stake that he beneficially owns at the time of the change of control. Upon termination without cause, all unvested stock options vest immediately and Mr. Russell is entitled to thirty-six months’ salary and a bonus that is the greater of 100% of the target bonus for the year or any bonus earned for each year in the prior twenty-four month period.

Bruce D. Hansen

On January 30, 2007, we entered into an employment agreement with Bruce D. Hansen to serve as our Chief Executive Officer for a term of three years. Under this agreement, Mr. Hansen is paid an annual base salary of $350,000, subject to annual review and adjustment by the Board. Mr. Hansen is also eligible to receive a discretionary cash performance bonus in an amount, if any, as determined by the Board from time to time. In addition, Mr. Hansen was granted a stock option to purchase 750,000 shares of stock, of which 500,000 shares vested upon grant and 250,000 shares vest on the first anniversary of the grant. Mr. Hansen was also granted a restricted stock award of 250,000 shares, the vesting of which is tied to the completion of financings by the Company. Upon the completion of an equity or debt financing that raises capital to commence production at the Mt. Hope Mine, Mr. Hansen is entitled to a cash payment of $1,000,000 upon satisfactory completion of the financing. If a change of control occurs, Mr. Hansen will be entitled to three years of annual base salary and all unvested stock options and awards will accelerate as to vesting. If Mr. Hansen terminates his employment for “Good Reason,” which includes substantial diminution of Mr. Hansen’s duties, a direction to Mr. Hansen that would violate local, state or federal law, or a failure by the Company to pay Mr. Hansen’s base salary, Mr. Hansen is entitled to his annual base salary as of the date of termination, together with one year of his base salary.

In July 2007, the Compensation Committee and the Board approved a new director compensation plan under which directors will receive $6,000 per year in cash compensation, plus a cash payment of $1,000 for each Board meeting they attend in person or by telephone. Additionally, the Chairman of the Board receives an additional cash payment of $2,500 per quarter. Each committee member receives a cash payment of $500 per meeting attended in person or by telephone and the chairman of each committee receives an additional cash payment of $1,000 per quarter. Directors also receive a bi-annual grant of 40,000 restricted shares that vest over a two year period. The Chairman of the Board receives an additional bi-annual grant of an additional 10,000 restricted shares that vest over a two year period. The director compensation plan was based on an assumed share price of approximately $8.00 per share and the share compensation will be adjusted upward or downward, in the discretion of the Compensation Committed, if the Company’s share price is materially below or above $8.00 per share at the time of an award.

The aggregate fees billed for professional services rendered by the Company’s principal accountant for the audit of the Company’s annual financial statements for the fiscal years ended December 31, 2006, 2005 and 2004 were $27,500, $21,197 and $19,643, respectively.

Audit-Related Fees

There were no fees billed in the last three fiscal years for assurance and related services by the principal accountant that are reasonably related to the performance of the audit or review of the Company’s financial statements except as set forth in the preceding paragraph.

Tax Fees

There were no fees billed in the last three fiscal years for professional services rendered by the principal accountant for tax compliance, tax advice and tax planning.

All Other Fees

The Company incurred no fees from the principal accountant during the last two fiscal years for products and services other than as set forth above.

Policy on Audit Committee Pre-Approval of Audit and Non-Audit Services of Independent Auditors

The Audit and Finance Committee is responsible for appointing, setting compensation and overseeing the work of the independent auditors. The Audit and Finance Committee has established a policy regarding pre-approval of all audit and non-audit services provided by the independent auditors. On an ongoing basis, management communicates specific projects and categories of services for which advance approval of the Audit and Finance Committee is requested. The Audit and Finance Committee reviews these requests and advises management if the Audit and Finance Committee approves the engagement of the independent auditors for specific projects. On a periodic basis, management reports to the Audit and Finance Committee regarding the actual spending for such projects and services compared to the approved amounts. The Audit and Finance Committee may also delegate the ability to pre-approve audit and permitted non-audit services to a subcommittee consisting of one or more Audit and Finance Committee members, provided that any such pre-approvals are reported on at a subsequent Audit and Finance Committee meeting.

PROPOSAL 2: APPROVAL OF THE REINCORPORATION OF THE COMPANY
INTO THE STATE OF DELAWARE.

Introduction

For the reasons set forth in “Principal Reasons for the Reincorporation Proposal” below, the Board of Directors of the Company believes that it is advisable and in the best interests of the Company and its stockholders to change the state of incorporation of the Company from Idaho to Delaware. The Company proposes to accomplish the reincorporation in Delaware by merging the Company into a newly formed wholly-owned subsidiary of the Company that is incorporated in Delaware (the “reincorporation merger”). The name of the Delaware corporation, which will be the successor to the Company in the reincorporation merger, is General Moly, Inc. This proxy statement refers to Idaho General Mines, Inc., the Idaho corporation, as “Idaho General Mines, Inc.” or the “Company” and to General Moly, Inc., the Delaware corporation, as “General Moly” or the “surviving corporation.”

General Moly was incorporated under Delaware law in August 2007 under the name “General Moly, Inc.” As of the date and time immediately prior to the effective date of the reincorporation merger, if the reincorporation merger is effected, General Moly will not have any material assets or liabilities and will not have carried on any material business.

As discussed in “Principal Reasons for the Reincorporation Proposal,” management believes that reincorporation in Delaware is beneficial to the Company because Delaware corporate law is more comprehensive, widely used and extensively interpreted than other state corporate laws, including Idaho corporate law. Further, management believes that Delaware law is better suited than Idaho law to protect stockholders’ interests in the event of an unsolicited takeover attempt. The Company, however, is not aware that any person is currently attempting to acquire control of the Company, to obtain representation on the Board of Directors of the Company or take any action that would materially affect the governance of the Company.

The Reincorporation Merger

The reincorporation merger would be effected pursuant to the merger agreement in substantially the form attached as Exhibit A. Upon completion of the reincorporation merger, the Company would cease to exist as a corporate entity and General Moly, which would be the surviving corporation, would continue to operate the business of the Company under the name General Moly, Inc. The discussion of the reincorporation merger set forth below is qualified in its entirety by reference to the attached merger agreement.

Pursuant to the merger agreement, each outstanding share of common stock, par value $.001 per share, of Idaho General Mines, Inc. would be converted automatically into one share of common stock, par value $.001 per share, of General Moly upon the effective date of the reincorporation merger. Each stock certificate representing issued and outstanding shares of common stock of Idaho General Mines, Inc. would continue to represent the same number of shares of common stock of General Moly. If Idaho General Mines, Inc. and General Moly effect the reincorporation merger, stockholders of Idaho General Mines, Inc. would not need to exchange their existing stock certificates of Idaho General Mines, Inc. for stock certificates of General Moly. Stockholders may, however, exchange their certificates if they choose to do so. Assuming that Idaho General Mines, Inc. and General Moly effect the reincorporation merger, the surviving corporation may decide to issue substitute stock certificates in the future to replace the current certificates that are outstanding. If the surviving corporation were to decide to issue substitute stock certificates, the surviving corporation would notify its stockholders.
 
21

 
Pursuant to the merger agreement, Idaho General Mines, Inc. and General Moly agree to take all actions that Delaware law and Idaho law require for Idaho General Mines, Inc. and General Moly to effect the reincorporation merger. General Moly also agrees, if required, to qualify to do business as a foreign corporation in the states in which Idaho General Mines, Inc. is qualified to do business before Idaho General Mines, Inc. and General Moly effect the reincorporation merger.

The merger agreement provides that the respective obligations of Idaho General Mines, Inc. and General Moly under the merger agreement are subject to the following conditions:

 
·
The stockholders of Idaho General Mines, Inc. have approved, the merger agreement;

 
·
No court or governmental authority, whether by statute, rule, regulation, executive order, decree, ruling, injunction or other order, has prohibited, restrained, enjoined or restricted the consummation of the reincorporation merger.

As soon as reasonably practicable after the reincorporation merger, General Moly will seek to cause the American Stock Exchange (“AMEX”) to quote the common stock of the surviving corporation under the symbol “GMO”, which is the same symbol as AMEX currently lists Idaho General Mines, Inc.’s common stock.

If Idaho General Mines, Inc. and General Moly effect the reincorporation merger, all employee benefit plans (including stock option and other equity-based plans) of Idaho General Mines, Inc. would be continued by the surviving corporation, and each stock option and other equity-based award issued and outstanding pursuant to such plans would be converted automatically into a stock option or other equity-based award with respect to the same number of shares of common stock of the surviving corporation, upon the same terms and subject to the same conditions as set forth in the applicable plan under which the award was granted and in the agreement reflecting the award.

If the stockholders of Idaho General Mines, Inc. approve the reincorporation merger, the Company and General Moly plan to effect the reincorporation merger as soon as practicable after the 2008 Annual Meeting. The merger agreement provides that the Board of Directors of either Idaho General Mines, Inc. or General Moly may abandon the reincorporation merger for any reason, notwithstanding shareholder approval. If the stockholders do not approve the reincorporation merger, Idaho General Mines, Inc. and General Moly would not consummate the merger and Idaho General Mines, Inc. would continue to operate as an Idaho corporation.

Under Idaho law, stockholders of Idaho General Mines, Inc. have appraisal rights with respect to the reincorporation proposal. See “Dissenters’ or Appraisal Rights” below.

Vote Required for the Reincorporation Proposal

Idaho law requires the affirmative vote of a majority of the votes entitled to be cast by the holders of common stock of Idaho General Mines, Inc. to approve the merger agreement pursuant to which Idaho General Mines, Inc. and General Moly would effect the reincorporation merger. Abstentions and broker non-votes will have the same effect as votes against the reincorporation proposal. A vote in favor of the reincorporation proposal is a vote to approve the merger agreement and therefore the reincorporation merger. A vote in favor of the reincorporation proposal is also effectively a vote in favor of the Certificate of Incorporation of General Moly and the Bylaws of General Moly. If the stockholders approve the merger agreement and the reincorporation merger becomes effective, the Certificate of Incorporation of General Moly (“Delaware Certificate”) and the Bylaws of General Moly (“Delaware Bylaws”) in effect immediately prior to the effective date of the reincorporation merger would respectively become the certificate of incorporation and bylaws of the surviving corporation. The forms of the Delaware Certificate and the Delaware Bylaws are attached as Exhibits B and C, respectively.

Principal Reasons for the Reincorporation Proposal

The Company was originally incorporated in Idaho on January 24, 1925. The incorporators chose to incorporate in the State of Idaho because the laws of Idaho were suitable for the Company’s operations at the time. For many years, Delaware has followed a policy of encouraging incorporation in Delaware and, in furtherance of that policy, has been the leader in adopting, construing and implementing comprehensive, flexible corporate laws that are responsive to the legal and business needs of the corporations organized under Delaware law. Unlike most states, including Idaho, Delaware has established progressive principles of corporate governance that the Company could draw upon when making business and legal decisions. In addition, any direct benefit that Delaware law provides to corporations indirectly benefits the stockholders, who are the owners of the corporations. Because Delaware law is responsive to the needs of stockholders, Delaware law also directly benefits stockholders. For these reasons, the Company has determined that Delaware law would better suit the current needs of the Company and its stockholders than Idaho law does.

To take advantage of Delaware’s flexible and responsive corporate laws, many corporations choose to incorporate initially in Delaware or choose to reincorporate in Delaware as Idaho General Mines, Inc. proposes to do. In general, the Company believes that Delaware provides a more appropriate and flexible corporate and legal environment in which to operate than currently exists in the State of Idaho and that the Company and its stockholders would benefit from such an environment. The Board of Directors of the Company has considered the following benefits available to Delaware corporations in deciding to propose reincorporation in Delaware:

 
·
the General Corporation Law of the State of Delaware, which is generally acknowledged to be the most advanced and flexible corporate statute in the country;

 
·
the responsiveness and efficiency of the Division of Corporations of the Secretary of State of Delaware, which uses modern computer technology;

 
·
the Delaware General Assembly, which each year considers and adopts statutory amendments that the Corporation Law Section of the Delaware State Bar Association proposes in an effort to ensure that the corporate statute continues to be responsive to the changing needs of businesses;

 
·
the Delaware Court of Chancery, which handles complex corporate issues with a level of experience and a degree of sophistication and understanding unmatched by any other court in the country, and the Delaware Supreme Court, which is highly regarded; and

 
·
the well-established body of case law construing Delaware law, which has developed over the last century and which provides businesses with a greater degree of predictability than most, if not all, other jurisdictions provide.

Additionally, management believes that, as a Delaware corporation, the Company would be better able to continue to attract and retain qualified directors and officers than it would be able to as an Idaho corporation, in part, because Delaware law provides more predictability with respect to the issue of liability of directors and officers than Idaho law does. The increasing frequency of claims against directors and officers that are litigated has greatly expanded the risks to directors and officers of exercising their respective duties. The amount of time and money required to respond to and litigate such claims can be substantial. Although Idaho law and Delaware law both permit a corporation to include a provision in the corporation’s articles or certificate, as the case may be, of incorporation that in certain circumstances reduces or limits the monetary liability of directors for breaches of their fiduciary duty of care, Delaware law, as stated above, provides to directors and officers more predictability than Idaho does and, therefore, provides directors and officers of a Delaware corporation a greater degree of comfort as to their risk of liability than that afforded under Idaho law.

Idaho Statutory Provisions
We are subject to the Idaho Control Share Acquisition Law, which is designed to protect minority shareholders in the event that a person acquires or proposes to acquire, directly or indirectly, by tender offer or otherwise, shares giving it at least 20%, at least 33 1/3% or more than 50% of the voting power in the election of directors. This law applies to a publicly held Idaho corporation which has at least 50 shareholders unless a provision in the corporation's bylaws or articles, adopted in accordance with this law, makes an express election not to be subject to this law. We do not have any such provisions in our articles or bylaws.

Under the Idaho Control Share Acquisition Law, an acquiring person is required to deliver to the corporation an information statement disclosing, among other things, the identity of the person, the terms of the acquisition or proposed acquisition, and the financing of this acquisition. An acquiring person cannot vote those shares acquired in a control share acquisition that exceed one of the cited thresholds unless a resolution approved by 66 2/3% of the voting power of all shares entitled to vote thereon, excluding shares held by the acquirer or an officer or director, approves of such voting power. At the request of the acquiring person, such a resolution must be put forth before shareholders at a special meeting held within 55 days after receipt of the information statement, provided that the acquiring person undertakes to pay the costs of the special meeting and delivers to the corporation copies of definitive financing agreements with responsible entities for any required financing of the acquisition. If an information statement has not been delivered to the corporation by the 10th day after the acquirer obtains shares in excess of one of the above thresholds, or the shareholders of the corporation have voted not to accord voting rights to the acquirer's shares, the corporation may redeem all, but not less than all, of the acquirer's shares at fair market value. Shares that are not accorded voting rights pursuant to this law regain their voting rights when acquired by another person in an acquisition that is not subject to this law.
 
We are also subject to the Idaho Business Combination Act, which prohibits a publicly held corporation from engaging in certain business combinations with an "interested shareholder" for a period of three years after the date of the transaction in which the person became an interested shareholder unless, among other things, (i) the corporation's articles of incorporation or bylaws include a provision, adopted in accordance with this law, that expressly provides that the corporation is not subject to the statute (we do not have any such provisions in our articles or bylaws), or (ii) a committee of the corporation's board of directors approves of the business combination or the acquisition of the shares before the date such shares were acquired. After the three year moratorium period, the corporation may not consummate a business combination unless, among other things, it is approved by the affirmative vote of the holders of at least two-thirds of the outstanding shares, other than those beneficially owned by the interested shareholder or an affiliate or associate thereof, entitled to vote or the business combination meets certain minimum price and form of payment requirements. An interested shareholder is defined to include, with certain exceptions, any person who is the beneficial owner of 10% or more of the voting power of the outstanding voting shares of the corporation. Business combinations subject to this law include certain mergers, consolidations, recapitalizations, and reverse share splits.

The application of the Idaho Control Share Acquisition Law and the Idaho Business Combination Law may have the effect of delaying, deferring or preventing a change of control of the Company.
 
24

 
Anti-Takeover Implications

Delaware, like many other states, permits a corporation to include in its certificate of incorporation or bylaws or to otherwise adopt measures designed to reduce a corporation’s vulnerability to unsolicited takeover attempts. The Board of Directors of the Company, however, is not proposing the reincorporation merger to prevent a change in control of the Company and is not aware of any present attempt by any person to acquire control of the Company or to obtain representation on the Company’s Board of Directors.

With respect to implementing defensive strategies, Delaware law is preferable to Idaho law because of the substantial judicial precedent on the legal principles applicable to defensive strategies. As an Idaho corporation or a Delaware corporation, the Company could implement some of the same defensive measures. As a Delaware corporation, however, the Company would benefit from the predictability of Delaware law on such matters.

No Change in the Board Members, Business, Management, or Employee Benefit Plans

The reincorporation proposal would effect only a change in the legal domicile of the Company and certain other changes of a legal nature, the most significant of which are described in this proxy statement. The proposed reincorporation merger would NOT result in any change in the business, management, fiscal year, assets or liabilities, or employee benefit plans. Assuming that Idaho General Mines, Inc. and General Moly effect the reincorporation merger, the directors and officers of Idaho General Mines, Inc. immediately prior to the effective date of the reincorporation merger would become the directors and officers of the surviving corporation. All employee benefit plans (including stock option and other equity-based plans) of Idaho General Mines, Inc. would be continued by the surviving corporation, and each stock option and other equity-based award issued and outstanding pursuant to such plans would automatically be converted into a stock option or other equity-based award with respect to the same number of shares of the surviving corporation, upon the same terms and subject to the same conditions as set forth in the applicable plan under which the award was granted and in the agreement reflecting the award. Approval of the reincorporation proposal would constitute approval of the assumption of these plans by the surviving corporation. Assuming Idaho General Mines, Inc. and General Moly effect the reincorporation merger, the surviving corporation would continue other employee benefit arrangements of Idaho General Mines, Inc. upon the terms and subject to the conditions currently in effect.

Adoption of Staggered Board

The default rule in Delaware is that each director shall hold office until the next annual meeting of stockholders (and until such director’s successor is elected and qualified) or until such director’s earlier resignation or removal. However, Delaware law will allow the Company’s certificate of incorporation or bylaws to provide for staggering the terms of directors by dividing the total number of directors into three groups.

General Moly’s bylaws will divide the Board of Directors of the Company into three classes, Class I, Class II and Class III. The directors in each class will hold office for staggered terms of three years each, after the initial terms of one year, two years and three years, respectively. As such, Board Members in Class I, Class II, and Class III will expire the later of 2008, 2009 and 2010, respectively, or until his or her successor is elected and qualifies or until his or her earlier death, resignation, retirement or removal. The Board of Directors has set the number of the Class I directors at three; Class II at two; and Class III at two. The Board will set the following persons for Class I membership: Gene W. Pierson, Norman A. Radford and Richard Nanna; Class II membership: R. David Russell and Ricardo Campoy; and Class III membership: Mark A. Lettes and Bruce D. Hansen.

Comparison of Shareholder Rights Before and After the Reincorporation Merger

There are significant similarities between the Delaware Certificate and the Company’s Amended and Restated Articles of Incorporation (“Idaho Articles”). For example, both the Delaware Certificate and the Idaho Articles provide for the authorization of 200,000,000 shares of common stock and 10,000,000 shares of preferred stock.

Set forth below is a description that summarizes some significant differences in the rights of the stockholders of the Company before and after the reincorporation merger is effective as a result of the differences between Idaho law, the Idaho Articles and the Idaho Bylaws, on the one hand, and Delaware law, the Delaware Certificate and the Delaware Bylaws, on the other hand. The summary of the differences is significant because if the stockholders of Idaho General Mines, Inc. approve the reincorporation proposal and the reincorporation merger becomes effective, the Delaware Certificate and the Delaware Bylaws in effect immediately prior to the effective date of the reincorporation merger would become the certificate of incorporation and bylaws of the surviving corporation. The Delaware Certificate and the Delaware Bylaws are attached as Exhibits B and C, respectively. All statements in this proxy statement concerning such documents are qualified by reference to the complete provisions of the documents. In addition to the differences described below, the Delaware Certificate and the Delaware Bylaws include certain technical differences from the Idaho Articles and Idaho Bylaws to reflect insignificant differences between Delaware law and Idaho law. The description below is not intended to be relied upon as a complete description of the differences, and is qualified in its entirety by reference to Idaho law, Delaware law, the Idaho Articles and Idaho Bylaws, and the Delaware Certificate and Delaware Bylaws.

Removal of Directors

The Idaho Business Corporation Act (the “IBCA”) provides that the shareholders may remove one or more directors with or without cause (unless the articles of incorporation provide that the directors may be removed only for cause) at a meeting called for the purpose of removing the director where the meeting notice stated such purpose. If a director is elected by a voting group of shareholders, only the shareholders of that voting group may participate in the vote to remove. If cumulative voting is authorized, a director may not be removed if the number of votes sufficient to elect the director under cumulative voting is voted against the director’s removal. If cumulative voting is not authorized, a director may be removed only if the number of votes cast to remove the director exceeds the number of votes cast not to remove. The Idaho Articles prohibit cumulative voting.

Delaware law provides that a director may be removed with or without cause by the holders of a majority in voting power of the issued and outstanding stock entitled to vote, except that (1) members of a classified board of directors may be removed only for cause, unless the certificate of incorporation provides otherwise (which the Delaware Certificate does not so provide), and (2) in the case of a corporation having cumulative voting, directors may not be removed in certain situations without satisfying certain stockholder approval requirements.

Unlike the Idaho Bylaws, the Delaware Bylaws include a provision that allows directors to only be removed for cause and Delaware law does not provide a statutory mechanism for removing directors by judicial proceedings.
 
26

 
Filling Vacancies on the Board of Directors

The IBCA provides that, unless the articles of incorporation provide otherwise, a vacancy on the board of directors may be filled by the shareholders or by the directors remaining in office. If a vacant office was held by a director elected by a voting group of shareholders, only the shareholders of that voting group are entitled to vote to fill the vacancy if it is filled by a vote of the shareholders. The Idaho Bylaws require the board of directors to fill vacancies from among the Company’s shareholders.

The Delaware Certificate provides that the Board of Directors of General Moly may fill vacancies on General Moly’ Board of Directors (including vacancies resulting from an increase in the number of directors). As required by Delaware law, the Delaware Certificate provides that if a director is elected to fill a vacancy, the director would serve a term that expires upon the next election upon the conclusion for the class for which the director is appointed.

Amendments to the Charter and Bylaws

Generally, an amendment to the articles must be adopted by the board of directors and approved by shareholders at a meeting called for the purpose in which a quorum consisting of at least a majority of the votes entitled to be cast on the amendment is present. The articles or the resolution of the board adopting and recommending the amendment may require a higher threshold to pass the amendment.

Further, the IBCA provides that a corporation’s board of directors may amend or repeal the corporation’s bylaws unless: (i) the articles of incorporation reserve this power exclusively to the shareholders in whole or part; or (ii) the shareholders in amending or repealing a particular bylaw provide expressly that the board of directors may not amend or repeal that bylaw. The IBCA also provides that a corporation’s shareholders may amend or repeal the corporation’s bylaws even though the bylaws may also be amended or repealed by its board of directors.

Under Delaware law, unless the certificate of incorporation requires a greater vote, an amendment to the certificate of incorporation requires (1) the approval and recommendation of the board of directors, (2) the affirmative vote of a majority of the outstanding stock entitled to vote on the amendment, and (3) the affirmative vote of a majority of the outstanding stock of each class entitled to vote on the amendment as a class. Further, under Delaware law, stockholders have the power to adopt, amend or repeal bylaws by the affirmative vote of a majority of the outstanding stock entitled to vote at a meeting of stockholders unless the certificate of incorporation or the bylaws specify another percentage.

Limitation or Elimination of Directors’ Personal Liability

The IBCA permits the articles of incorporation to provide that no director shall be personally liable to the corporation or its shareholders for money damages for any action taken, or any failure to take any action, as a director; provided, however, that the liability of a director shall not be eliminated for (i) the amount of a financial benefit received by a director to which he is not entitled, (ii) an intentional infliction of harm on the corporation or the shareholders, (iii) the approval of an unlawful distribution by the corporation under the IBCA, or (iv) an intentional violation of criminal law. A party seeking money damages must also establish that harm suffered by the corporation was proximately caused by the director’s conduct.

The Idaho Article’s provide that a director will not be personally liable to the Company or its shareholders for monetary damages for conduct as a director except: (i) acts or omissions that involve intentional misconduct or a knowing violation of law; (ii) conduct that violates IBCA provisions pertaining to unpermitted distributions to shareholders or loans to directors; or (iii) any transaction from which the director will personally receive a benefit in money, property or services to which the director is not legally entitled.
 
27

 
The Delaware Certificate contains a provision limiting the liability of its directors in accordance with Delaware law. Under Delaware law, if a corporation’s certificate of incorporation so provides, the personal liability of a director for breach of fiduciary duty as a director may be eliminated or limited. A corporation’s certificate of incorporation, however, may not limit or eliminate a director’s personal liability (a) for any breach of the director’s duty of loyalty to the corporation or its stockholders, (b) for acts or omissions not in good faith or involving intentional misconduct or a knowing violation of law, (c) for the payment of unlawful dividends, stock repurchases or redemptions, or (d) for any transaction in which the director received an improper personal benefit.

Shareholder Voting

Under Idaho Law, certain extraordinary corporate actions, such as sales of the corporation’s assets that would leave it without a significant continuing business activity, dissolutions, mergers, and share exchanges require the approval of a majority of shareholders voting at a meeting in which a quorum is present. A majority of shareholders entitled to vote on the matter constitutes a quorum. If any class or series of shares is entitled to vote as a separate group on a plan of merger or share exchange, that voting group’s approval is required at a meeting at which a quorum of that voting group is present. If a corporation retains a business activity that represented at least 25% of its total assets at the end of the most recently completed fiscal year, and 25% of either income from continuing operations before taxes or revenues from continuing operations for that fiscal year the corporation will conclusively be deemed to have retained a significant continuing business activity.

Under Delaware law, in the absence of a specification in the corporation’s certificate of incorporation or bylaws, once a quorum is obtained, the affirmative vote of a majority of shares present in person or represented by proxy and entitled to vote on the subject matter is required for shareholder action; however, under Delaware law directors are elected by a plurality of votes present in person or represented by proxy and entitled to vote on the election of directors. However, under the Corporate Governance Guidelines adopted by the Board, the Company has adopted a majority voting requirement for election of directors. See Proposal 1 above for a description of the majority voting provision.

Delaware law generally requires that a merger or sale of assets be approved by a vote of a majority of the shares outstanding and entitled to vote on the transaction. However, Delaware law does not require a vote of the stockholders of the surviving corporation in a merger (unless the corporation provides otherwise in its certificate of incorporation, which the Delaware Certificate does not) if (a) the merger agreement does not amend the existing certificate of incorporation, (b) each share of the stock of the surviving corporation outstanding immediately before the effective date of the merger is an identical outstanding or treasury share after the merger, and (c) either no shares of common stock of the surviving corporation and no shares, securities or obligations convertible into such stock are to be issued or delivered under the plan of merger, or the authorized and unissued shares or the treasury shares of common stock of the surviving corporation to be issued or delivered under the plan of merger plus those initially issuable upon conversion of any other shares, securities or obligations to be issued or delivered under such plan do not exceed 20% of the shares of common stock of such constituent corporation outstanding immediately prior to the effective date of the merger.

The Idaho Bylaws provide that the affirmative vote of a majority of the voting stock issued and outstanding at any regular or special meeting of the shareholders to amend the Idaho Bylaws. The Delaware Bylaws generally provide that the affirmative vote of a majority of the voting stock issued and outstanding at any regular or special meeting of the shareholders to amend the Delaware Bylaws; however, certain provisions of the Delaware Bylaws may not be altered, amended or repealed in whole or in part, unless authorized by the affirmative vote of the holders of not less than eighty percent (80%) of the outstanding voting power entitled to vote, including the provisions relating to staggered board terms, director removal, indemnification, and shareholder meetings.
 
28

 
Dissenters’ Rights of Appraisal

Under the IBCA, appraisal rights are available in connection with the following actions in which shareholder approval is required: (i) an amendment to the articles that reduces the number of shares of a class owned by the shareholder to a fraction and the corporation has a right or obligation to repurchase the fractional share; (ii) certain plans of merger or exchange; (iii) a disposition of assets that would leave the corporation without a significant continuing business activity; or (iv) any other amendment to the articles of incorporation, merger, share exchange or disposition of assets as provided by the corporation’s articles of incorporation, bylaws or action by the board of directors.
 
Delaware law generally affords dissenters’ rights of appraisal with respect to stock of a corporation in a merger or consolidation. Delaware law, however, does not afford dissenters’ rights of appraisal with respect to (a) a sale of assets, (b) stock of a corporation surviving a merger if no vote of the stockholders is required to approve the merger under the circumstances set forth above in the section of this table entitled “Shareholder Voting” or (c) stock of a corporation in a merger or consolidation if the stock is (i) listed on a national securities exchange or designated as a national market system security or (ii) widely held (by more than 2,000 stockholders); provided, however that the holders of stock described in clauses (c)(i) or (c)(ii) will be entitled to dissenters’ rights if such holders are required to accept for shares anything except stock in the surviving corporation or stock in any other corporation that is listed on a national securities exchange or designated as a national market system security or widely held.
 
Accounting Treatment of the Reincorporation Merger

The reincorporation merger would be accounted for as a reverse merger whereby, for accounting purposes, the Company would be considered the acquiror and the surviving corporation would be treated as the successor to the historical operations of the Company. Accordingly, the historical financial statements of the Company, which the Company previously reported to the Securities and Exchange Commission on Forms 10-K and 10-Q, among other forms, as of and for all period through the date of this proxy statement, would be treated as the financial statements of the surviving corporation.

Regulatory Approval

To the Company’s knowledge, the only required regulatory or governmental approval or filings necessary in connection with the consummation of the reincorporation merger would be the filing of articles of merger with the Secretary of State of Idaho and the filing of a certificate of merger with the Secretary of State of Delaware.

Rights of Dissenting Stockholders

Idaho law provides that a shareholder of the Company may dissent from the reincorporation merger and obtain payment for the fair value of his or her shares of common stock. The following is a summary of Sections 10-2B-13.01 through 10-2B-13.32 of the Idaho Business Corporation Act (the “Idaho Dissent Provisions”), the relevant text of which is set forth as Exhibit D to this proxy statement.
 
29

 
Under the Idaho Dissent Provisions, a shareholder of the Company may dissent from the reincorporation merger by utilizing the following procedures: (i) the dissenting shareholder must deliver to the Company, prior to the vote being taken on the reincorporation merger at the annual meeting, written notice of his or her intent to demand payment for his or her shares of common stock if Idaho General Mines, Inc. and General Moly effect the reincorporation merger (the “notice requirement”); and (ii) the dissenting shareholder must not vote in favor of the reincorporation proposal (or submit a proxy that results in a vote in favor of the reincorporation proposal). As long as a shareholder fulfills the notice requirement described in (i) above, the shareholder’s failure to vote on the reincorporation proposal would not constitute a waiver of his or her right to demand payment. A shareholder who does not satisfy the procedures set forth in (i) and (ii) above waives his or her right to demand payment. A vote against the reincorporation proposal does not satisfy the procedures set forth in (i) and (ii) above.

If the stockholders approve the reincorporation proposal, the Company must deliver written notice of such approval to each dissenting shareholder (the “written dissenters’ notice”), which must be sent not later than 10 days after the date Idaho General Mines, Inc. and General Moly effect the reincorporation merger, assuming Idaho General Mines, Inc. and General Moly do so, and the dissenting shareholder must make a demand for payment of the fair value of his or her shares of common stock in accordance with the terms of the written dissenters’ notice, which demand must be received by the Company by a date to be specified by the Company in the written dissenters’ notice, which date shall be not fewer than 30 nor more than 60 days after the date on which the written dissenters’ notice is delivered.

Within 20 days after a shareholder makes a formal demand for payment, each shareholder demanding payment shall submit the certificate or certificates representing his or her shares of common stock to the Company for notation thereon by the Company that such demand has been made. The failure to submit the shares of common stock for such notation shall, at the option of the Company, terminate the shareholder’s rights under the Idaho Dissent Provisions unless a court of competent jurisdiction, for good and sufficient cause, shall otherwise direct. Once a shareholder makes a formal demand for payment, he or she may not withdraw his or her demand unless the Company consents to such withdrawal.

Under the Idaho Dissent Provisions, a record shareholder may dissent as to fewer than all of the shares of common stock registered in his or her name only if he or she dissents with respect to all shares of common stock beneficially owned by any one person and notifies the Company in writing of the name and address of each person on whose behalf he or she asserts dissenters’ rights. The rights of a partial dissenter are determined as if the shares of common stock to which he or she dissents and his or her other shares of common stock were registered in the names of different stockholders.

Upon the date Idaho General Mines, Inc. and General Moly effect the reincorporation merger, or upon receipt by the Company of a demand for payment, the Company must offer to pay each dissenting shareholder who has properly complied with the Idaho Dissent Provisions the amount estimated by the Company to be the fair value of the shares of common stock held by each such dissenting shareholder, plus accrued interest. Such offer must be accompanied by, among other information, the Company’s balance sheet as of the end of the fiscal year ending not more than 16 months before the date of the offer, an income statement for that year, the latest available interim financial statements, if any, a statement of the Company’s estimate of the fair value of the shares, and an explanation of how the interest was calculated. If any dissenting shareholder accepts such offer of payment, then such dissenting shareholder must surrender to the Company the certificate or certificates representing his or her shares of common stock. Upon receipt by the Company of the certificate or certificates, the Company shall pay such dissenting shareholder the fair value of his or her shares, plus accrued interest, and such dissenting shareholder will cease to have any interest in the shares. If, however, a dissenting shareholder does not accept the Company’s offer of payment, then such dissenting shareholder must, within 30 days after the Company offered payment for his or her shares of common stock, notify the Company in writing of his or her own estimate of the fair value of his or her shares of common stock and amount of interest due, and demand payment of such estimate, or reject the Company’s offer and demand the fair value of his or her shares of common stock and interest due. If this demand by a dissenting shareholder remains unsettled for 60 days, then the Company must commence a proceeding in the circuit court of Mobile County, Idaho to determine the fair value of the shares of common stock and accrued interest. If the Company does not commence this proceeding within the 60-day period, then the Company must pay each dissenting shareholder whose demand remains unsettled the amount demanded. The Company must make all dissenting stockholders whose demands remain unsettled parties to this proceeding. In such proceeding, the court may, if it so elects, appoint one or more persons as appraisers to receive evidence and recommend a decision on the question of fair value. The Company must pay each dissenting shareholder the amount found to be due after final determination of the proceedings. Upon payment of such judgment and surrender to the Company of the certificate or certificates representing the appraised shares, the dissenting shareholder will cease to have any interest in the shares of common stock.
 
30

 
The costs and expenses of any such dissent proceeding will be determined by the court and will be assessed against the Company, but costs and expenses may be assessed against all or some of the dissenting stockholders, in such amounts as the court deems equitable, to the extent the court finds such dissenting stockholders acted arbitrarily, vexatiously or not in good faith in demanding payment after receiving an offer of payment from the Company. The court may also assess the reasonable fees and expenses of counsel and experts for the respective parties, in amounts the court finds equitable (a) against the Company and in favor of any or all dissenting stockholders if the court finds that the Company did not substantially comply with the requirements of the Idaho Dissent Provisions, or (b) against either the Company or a dissenting shareholder, in favor of any other party, if the court finds that the party against whom the fees and expenses are assessed acted arbitrarily, vexatiously or not in good faith with respect to the rights provided by the Idaho Dissent Provisions. If the court finds that the services of counsel for any dissenting shareholder were of substantial benefit to the other dissenting stockholders similarly situated, and that the fees for the services should not be assessed against the Company, the court may award such counsel reasonable fees to be paid out of the amounts awarded to dissenting stockholders who were benefited.

The foregoing is only a summary of the Idaho Dissent Provisions, and is qualified in its entirety by reference to the provisions thereof, the text of which is set forth as Exhibit D to this proxy statement. Each shareholder of the Company is urged to carefully read the full text of the Idaho Dissent Provisions.

Certain Federal Income Tax Consequences

The Company has been advised by its counsel, Kirkpatrick & Lockhart Preston Gates Ellis llp, that, for federal income tax purposes, no gain or loss would be recognized by the holders of the common stock of Idaho General Mines, Inc. as a result of the consummation of the reincorporation merger and no gain or loss would be recognized by Idaho General Mines, Inc. or General Moly. In addition, counsel has advised the Company that each former holder of common stock of Idaho General Mines, Inc. would have the same basis in the common stock of the surviving corporation received by such person pursuant to the reincorporation merger as such holder had in the common stock of Idaho General Mines, Inc. held by such person immediately prior to the consummation of the reincorporation merger, and such person’s holding period with respect to such common stock of the surviving corporation would include the period during which such holder held the corresponding common stock of Idaho General Mines, Inc., provided the latter was held by such person as a capital asset immediately prior to the consummation of the reincorporation merger.

State, local or foreign income tax consequences to stockholders may vary from the federal tax consequences described above. STOCKHOLDERS SHOULD CONSULT THEIR OWN TAX ADVISERS AS TO THE EFFECT OF THE REINCORPORATION MERGER UNDER APPLICABLE FEDERAL, STATE, LOCAL OR FOREIGN INCOME TAX LAWS.

PROPOSAL 3: APPROVAL OF AN AMENDMENT TO THE COMPANY’S
2006 EQUITY INCENTIVE PLAN

At the 2006 Annual Meeting, the stockholders adopted the 2006 Equity Incentive Plan (the “2006 Plan”). Under the 2006 Plan, the maximum aggregate number of shares of common stock that may be issued pursuant to awards granted under the 2006 Plan is 3,500,000, plus any shares remaining available for grant under the Company’s 2003 Stock Option Plan (the “2003 Plan”). As of August 3, 2007, there were 1,260,000 shares of common stock available for issuance under the 2006 Plan. The Board of Directors has determined it is in the best interests of the Company to increase the number of shares available for awards under the 2006 Plan in order to provide a sufficient number of shares to attract and retain qualified employees as the Company transitions from development stage to operations, including mining, technical and other operations personnel, in the context of an extremely competitive market for such personnel. In light of the upcoming hiring needs necessary to commence operations, the Board of Directors has approved an amendment to the 2006 Plan to increase the aggregate number of shares authorized for issuance by 1,600,000, and such amendment is hereby submitted to the shareholders for approval.

As of August 3, 2007, the Company had 56,334,005 shares outstanding (excluding 11,945,265 shares issuable upon exercise of warrants outstanding on such date). As of August 3, 2007, (i) 2,310,000 shares of common stock were subject to outstanding awards under the 2006 Plan and 1,260,000 shares remained available for issuance thereunder (including the shares available under the 2003 Plan), (ii) 290,000 shares of common stock were subject to outstanding awards under the 2003 Plan and 360,000 shares remained available under the 2003 Plan (and are included in the preceding number available for issuance under the 2006 Plan), and (iii) 1,637,500 shares of common stock were subject to outstanding equity compensation awards entered into outside of either the 2003 Plan or 2006 Plan. Based on the foregoing, if Proposal 3 is approved and the 2006 Plan is amended, the total aggregate number of shares issued or issuable under the 2003 Plan and the 2006 Plan and pursuant to outstanding options granted outside of the Company’s equity compensation plans will represent 13.0% of the total outstanding shares (10.7% of outstanding shares assuming exercise of all outstanding warrants).

THE BOARD RECOMMENDS A VOTE “FOR” PROPOSAL 3

PROPOSAL 4: TO APPROVE AN AMENDMENT TO ACCELERATE THE
TERMINATION DATE OF THE SHAREHOLDER RIGHTS PLAN

In connection with the Company’s commitment to improve corporate governance practices, the Board has determined that it is advisable and in the best interests of the Company to amend the Company’s Shareholders Rights Agreement dated as of September 22, 2005, as amended from time to time (the “Rights Plan”), between the Company and Registrar and Transfer Company, to accelerate the termination of the Rights Plan to the close of business on October 4, 2007 or such other date as the 2007 Annual Meeting concludes. Accordingly, the Board of Directors hereby submits such amendment to the Rights Plan to the shareholders for approval.

2. Conversion of Securities on Merger.

2.1  Effect of Merger on Capital Stock. Each share of Merging Corporation’s common stock, $0.001 par value per share (other than shares (“Dissenting Shares”) that are owned by shareholders (“Dissenting Shareholders”) that properly exercise dissenters’ rights pursuant to Sections 10-2B-13.01 through 10-2B-13.32 of the Idaho Business Corporation Act), issued and outstanding immediately before the Effective Date shall, by virtue of the Merger and without any action on the part of the holder thereof, be converted into and become one (1) validly issued, fully paid and nonassessable share of Surviving Corporation’s common stock, $0.001 par value per share (the “Surviving Corporation Stock”). Each share of Surviving Corporation’s common stock issued and outstanding immediately before the Effective Date of the Merger shall be canceled without any consideration being issued or paid therefore, without any further action on the part of the holder thereof.

2.2  Effect of Merger on Options and Warrants. Each option, warrant or other security of the Merging Corporation issued and outstanding immediately prior to the Effective Date shall be (a) converted into and shall be an identical security of the Surviving Corporation subject to the same agreement and terms as then exist with respect thereto, and (b) otherwise in the case of securities to acquire common stock of the Merging Corporation, converted into the identical right to acquire the same number of shares of Surviving Corporation Stock as the number of shares of common stock of the Merging Corporation that were acquirable pursuant to such option, warrant or other security. As of the Effective Date, the number of shares of common stock issuable by the Surviving Corporation upon exercise of any such option, warrant or other security shall be deemed reserved by the Surviving Corporation solely for purposes of the exercise of options, warrants or other securities.

2.3  Certificates. At and after the Effective Date, all of the outstanding certificates which immediately prior thereto represented shares of Merging Corporation stock (other than Dissenting Shares), or options, warrants or other securities of the Merging Corporation, shall be deemed for all purposes to evidence ownership of and to represent the shares of Surviving Corporation Stock, or options, warrants or other securities of Surviving Corporation, as the case may be, into which the shares of Merging Corporation stock, or options, warrants or other securities of the Surviving Corporation, as the case may be, represented by such certificates have been converted as herein provided and shall be so registered on the books and records of the Surviving Corporation or its transfer agent. The registered owner of any such outstanding certificate shall, until such certificate shall have been surrendered for transfer or otherwise accounted for to the Surviving Corporation or its transfer agent, have and be entitled to exercise any voting and other rights with respect to, and to receive any dividends and other distributions upon, the shares of Surviving Corporation Stock, or options, warrants or other securities of Surviving Corporation, as the case may be, evidenced by such outstanding certificate, as above provided.

If any person or entity who otherwise would be deemed a Dissenting Shareholder shall have failed to properly perfect or shall have effectively withdrawn or lost the right to dissent with respect to any shares which would be Dissenting Shares but for that failure to perfect or withdrawal or loss of the right to dissent, such Dissenting Shares shall thereupon be treated as though such Dissenting Shares had been converted into shares of Surviving Corporation Stock.

3. Foreign Qualification. Surviving Corporation covenants and agrees, to the extent required by applicable law, to register or qualify, as applicable, to do business as a foreign corporation in those states in which Merging Corporation is qualified to do business immediately prior to the Effective Date.

5. Amendment. The respective Boards of Directors of the Constituent Corporations may amend this Merger Agreement at any time prior to the Effective Date, provided that an amendment made subsequent to the approval of the Merger by the stockholders of Merging Corporation shall not (a) alter or change the amount or kind of shares, securities, cash, property or rights to be received under this Merger Agreement by the shareholders of Merging Corporation; (b) alter or change any term of the Certificate of Incorporation of Surviving Corporation; or (c) alter or change any of the terms and conditions of this Merger Agreement if such alteration or change would adversely affect the shareholders of Merging Corporation.

All notices of meetings of stockholders shall be sent or otherwise given in accordance with either Section 2.5 or Section 9.1 of these Bylaws not less than 10 or more than 60 days before the date of the meeting to each stockholder entitled to vote at such meeting. The notice shall specify the place, if any, date and hour of the meeting, the means of remote communication, if any, by which stockholders and proxy holders may be deemed to be present in person and vote at such meeting, and, in the case of a special meeting, the purpose or purposes for which the meeting is called.

2.5 Manner of Giving Notice; Affidavit of Notice. Notice of any meeting of stockholders shall be given:

(i) personally;

(ii)  if mailed, when deposited in the United States mail, postage prepaid, directed to the stockholder at his or her address as it appears on the Company’s records; or

An affidavit of the secretary or an assistant secretary of the Company or of the transfer agent or any other agent of the Company that the notice has been given by mail or by a form of electronic transmission, as applicable, shall, in the absence of fraud, be prima facie evidence of the facts stated therein.

2.6 Quorum. Except as otherwise provided by law, the Certificate of Incorporation or these Bylaws, at each meeting of stockholders the presence in person or by proxy of the holders of shares of stock having a majority of the votes which could be cast by the holders of all outstanding shares of stock entitled to vote at the meeting shall be necessary and sufficient to constitute a quorum. If, however, such quorum is not present or represented at any meeting of the stockholders, then either (i) the chair of the meeting, or (ii) the stockholders entitled to vote at the meeting, present in person or represented by proxy, shall have power to adjourn the meeting from time to time, without notice other than announcement at the meeting, until a quorum is present or represented.

2.7 Adjourned Meeting; Notice. Any meeting of stockholders, annual or special, may adjourn from time to time to reconvene at the same or some other place, and notice need not be given of the adjourned meeting if the time, place if any thereof, and the means of remote communications if any by which stockholders and proxy holders may be deemed to be present in person and vote at such adjourned meeting are announced at the meeting at which the adjournment is taken. At the continuation of the adjourned meeting, the Company may transact any business which might have been transacted at the original meeting. If the adjournment is for more than 30 days, or if after the adjournment a new record date is fixed for the adjourned meeting, a notice of the adjourned meeting shall be given to each stockholder of record entitled to vote at the meeting.

2.8 Conduct of Business. Meetings of stockholders shall be presided over by the chair of the Board, if any, or in his or her absence by the vice chair of the Board, if any, or in his or her absence by the president, or in his or her absence by a vice president, or in the absence of the foregoing persons by a chair designated by the Board, or in the absence of such designation by a chair chosen at the meeting. The secretary shall act as secretary of the meeting, but in his or her absence any assistant secretary may act as secretary, and in the absence of the secretary and all assistant secretaries the chair of the meeting may appoint any person to act as secretary of the meeting. The chair of any meeting of stockholders shall determine the order of business and the procedure at the meeting, including such regulation of the manner of voting and the conduct of business.

2.9 Voting.

Except as may be otherwise provided in the Certificate of Incorporation or these Bylaws, each stockholder shall be entitled to one vote for each share of capital stock held by such stockholder. Voting at meetings of stockholders need not be by written ballot and need not be conducted by inspectors of election unless so determined by the holders of shares of stock having a majority of the votes which could be cast by the holders of all outstanding shares of stock entitled to vote thereon which are present in person or by proxy at such meeting. Except as otherwise provided in any corporate governance guidelines or other policies or procedures adopted by the Board, at all meetings of stockholders for the election of directors a plurality of the votes cast shall be sufficient to elect. All other elections and questions shall, unless otherwise provided by law, the Certificate of Incorporation or these Bylaws, be decided by the vote of the holders of shares of stock having a majority of the votes which could be cast by the holders of all shares of stock entitled to vote thereon which are present in person or represented by proxy at the meeting.

2.10 Stockholder Action by Written Consent Without a Meeting. Unless otherwise provided in the Certificate of Incorporation and subject to any stock exchange or electronic trading market rules and regulations applicable to the Company, any action required by the DGCL to be taken at any annual or special meeting of stockholders of a Company, or any action which may be taken at any annual or special meeting of such stockholders, may be taken without a meeting, without prior notice, and without a vote, if a consent or consents in writing, setting forth the action so taken, shall be signed by the holders of outstanding stock having not less than the minimum number of votes that would be necessary to authorize or take such action at a meeting at which all shares entitled to vote thereon were present and voted.
 
C-3

 
Prompt notice of the taking of the corporate action without a meeting by less than unanimous written consent shall be given to those stockholders who have not consented in writing and who, if the action had been taken at a meeting, would have been entitled to notice of the meeting if the record date for such meeting had been the date that written consents signed by a sufficient number of holders to take the action were delivered to the Company as provided in Section 228 of the DGCL. In the event that the action which is consented to is such as would have required the filing of a certificate under any provision of the DGCL, if such action had been voted on by stockholders at a meeting thereof, the certificate filed under such provision shall state, in lieu of any statement required by such provision concerning any vote of stockholders, that written consent has been given in accordance with Section 228 of the DGCL.

2.11 Record Date for Stockholder Notice; Voting; Giving Consents. In order that the Company may determine the stockholders entitled to notice of or to vote at any meeting of stockholders or any adjournment thereof, or entitled to express consent to corporate action in writing without a meeting, or entitled to receive payment of any dividend or other distribution or allotment of any rights, or entitled to exercise any rights in respect of any change, conversion or exchange of stock or for the purpose of any other lawful action, the Board may fix a record date, which record date shall not precede the date upon which the resolution fixing the record date is adopted by the Board and which record date:

(i) in the case of determination of stockholders entitled to notice of or to vote at any meeting of stockholders or adjournment thereof, shall, unless otherwise required by law, not be more than sixty nor less than ten days before the date of such meeting;

(ii) in the case of determination of stockholders entitled to express consent to corporate action in writing without a meeting, shall not be more than ten days after the date upon which the resolution fixing the record date is adopted by the Board; and

(iii) in the case of determination of stockholders for any other action, shall not be more than sixty days prior to such other action.

If no record date is fixed by the Board:

(a) the record date for determining stockholders entitled to notice of or to vote at a meeting of stockholders shall be at the close of business on the day next preceding the day on which notice is given, or, if notice is waived, at the close of business on the day next preceding the day on which the meeting is held;

(b) the record date for determining stockholders entitled to express consent to corporate action in writing without a meeting when no prior action of the Board is required by law, shall be the first date on which a signed written consent setting forth the action taken or proposed to be taken is delivered to the Company in accordance with applicable law, or, if prior action by the Board is required by law, shall be at the close of business on the day on which the Board adopts the resolution taking such prior action; and

(c) the record date for determining stockholders for any other purpose shall be at the close of business on the day on which the Board adopts the resolution relating thereto.

A determination of stockholders of record entitled to notice of or to vote at a meeting of stockholders shall apply to any adjournment of the meeting; provided, however, that the Board may fix a new record date for the adjourned meeting.

2.12 Proxies. Each stockholder entitled to vote at a meeting of stockholders or to express consent or dissent to corporate action in writing without a meeting may authorize another person or persons to act for such stockholder by proxy authorized by an instrument in writing or by a transmission permitted by law filed in accordance with the procedure established for the meeting, but no such proxy shall be voted or acted upon after three years from its date, unless the proxy provides for a longer period. The revocability of a proxy that states on its face that it is irrevocable shall be governed by the provisions of Section 212 of the DGCL.

2.13 List of Stockholders Entitled to Vote. The officer who has charge of the stock ledger of the Company shall prepare and make, at least 10 days before every meeting of stockholders, a complete list of the stockholders entitled to vote at the meeting, arranged in alphabetical order, and showing the address of each stockholder and the number of shares registered in the name of each stockholder. The Company shall not be required to include electronic mail addresses or other electronic contact information on such list. Such list shall be open to the examination of any stockholder, for any purpose germane to the meeting for a period of at least 10 days prior to the meeting: (i) on a reasonably accessible electronic network, provided that the information required to gain access to such list is provided with the notice of the meeting, or (ii) during ordinary business hours, at the Company’s principal executive office. In the event that the Company determines to make the list available on an electronic network, the Company may take reasonable steps to ensure that such information is available only to stockholders of the Company. If the meeting is to be held at a place, then the list shall be produced and kept at the time and place of the meeting during the whole time thereof, and may be inspected by any stockholder who is present. If the meeting is to be held solely by means of remote communication, then the list shall also be open to the examination of any stockholder during the whole time of the meeting on a reasonably accessible electronic network, and the information required to access such list shall be provided with the notice of the meeting. Such list shall presumptively determine the identity of the stockholders entitled to vote at the meeting and the number of shares held by each of them. Failure to comply with the requirements of this Section shall not affect the validity of any action taken at such meeting.

3.3 Election, Qualification and Term of Office of Directors. The Directors shall be divided into three (3) classes, as nearly equal in number as possible. The term of office of the first class shall expire at the 2008 annual meeting of the stockholders of the Corporation; the term of office of the second class shall expire at the 2009 annual meeting of the stockholders of the Corporation; and the term of office of the third class shall expire at the 2010 annual meeting of the stockholders of the Corporation. At each annual meeting of the stockholders after such classification, the number of directors equal to the number of the class whose term expires on the day of such meeting shall be elected for a term of three (3) years. Directors shall hold office until expiration of the terms for which they were elected and qualified; provided, however, that any director may be removed from office as a director at any time by the stockholders, but only for cause, and only by the affirmative vote of a majority of the outstanding voting power entitled to elect such director. If the office of any director becomes vacant by reason of death, resignation, retirement, disqualification, removal from office, increase in the number of directors or otherwise, a majority of the remaining directors, although less than a quorum, at a meeting called for that purpose, or a sole remaining director, may choose a successor, and the director so chosen shall hold office until the expiration of the term of the class for which appointed or until a successor is duly elected and qualified, or until such director’s earlier resignation or removal.

(ii) Whenever the holders of any class or classes of stock or series thereof are entitled to elect one or more directors by the provisions of the Certificate of Incorporation, vacancies and newly created directorships of such class or classes or series may be filled by a majority of the directors elected by such class or classes or series thereof then in office, or by a sole remaining director so elected.
 
C-6

 
If at any time, by reason of death or resignation or other cause, the Company should have no directors in office, then any officer or any stockholder or an executor, administrator, trustee or guardian of a stockholder, or other fiduciary entrusted with like responsibility for the person or estate of a stockholder, may call a special meeting of stockholders in accordance with the provisions of the Certificate of Incorporation or these Bylaws, or may apply to the Court of Chancery for a decree summarily ordering an election as provided in Section 211 of the DGCL.

If, at the time of filling any vacancy or any newly created directorship, the directors then in office constitute less than a majority of the whole Board (as constituted immediately prior to any such increase), then the Court of Chancery may, upon application of any stockholder or stockholders holding at least 10% of the total number of the shares at the time outstanding having the right to vote for such directors, summarily order an election to be held to fill any such vacancies or newly created directorships, or to replace the directors chosen by the directors then in office as aforesaid, which election shall be governed by the provisions of Section 211 of the DGCL as far as applicable.

If the notice is sent by United States mail, it shall be deposited in the United States mail at least four days before the time of the holding of the meeting. Any oral notice may be communicated to the director. The notice need not specify the place of the meeting (if the meeting is to be held at the Company’s principal executive office) nor the purpose of the meeting.

3.8 Quorum. At all meetings of the Board, a majority of the total number of acting directors shall constitute a quorum for the transaction of business. The vote of a majority of the directors present at any meeting at which a quorum is present shall be the act of the Board, except as may be otherwise specifically provided by statute, the Certificate of Incorporation or these Bylaws. If a quorum is not present at any meeting of the Board, then the directors present thereat may adjourn the meeting from time to time, without notice other than announcement at the meeting, until a quorum is present.

A meeting at which a quorum is initially present may continue to transact business notwithstanding the withdrawal of directors, if any action taken is approved by at least a majority of the required quorum for that meeting.

3.9 Board Action by Written Consent Without a Meeting. Unless otherwise restricted by the Certificate of Incorporation or these Bylaws, any action required or permitted to be taken at any meeting of the Board, or of any committee thereof, may be taken without a meeting if all members of the Board or committee, as the case may be, consent thereto in writing or by electronic transmission and the writing or writings or electronic transmission or transmissions are filed with the minutes of proceedings of the Board or committee. Such filing shall be in paper form if the minutes are maintained in paper form and shall be in electronic form if the minutes are maintained in electronic form.

ARTICLE VII.
SHARES

Such authorization shall include the maximum number of shares to be issued and the consideration to be received for each share. No certificate shall be issued for any share until such share is fully paid.

7.2 Certificates for Shares. Certificates representing shares of the Company shall be in such form as shall be determined by the Board. Such certificates shall be signed by two officers of the Company designated by the Board. The signatures of such officers may be facsimiles if the certificate is manually signed on behalf of a transfer agent, or registered by a registrar, other than the Company itself or an employee of the Company. Certificates for shares shall be consecutively numbered or otherwise identified. The name and address of the person to whom the shares represented thereby are issued, with the number of shares or other identification and the date of issue, shall be entered on the share transfer books of the Company. All certificates surrendered to the Company for transfer shall be cancelled and no new certificate shall be issued until the former certificate for a like number of shares shall have been surrendered and cancelled, except that in case of a lost, destroyed or mutilated certificate, a new one may be issued therefor upon such terms and indemnity to the Company as the Board may prescribe. Each certificate representing shares shall state upon the face thereof:

(i) The name of the Company;

(ii) That the Company is organized under the laws of the State of Delaware;

(iii) The name of the person to whom issued;
 
C-11

 
(iv) The number and class of shares; and

If the Company is authorized to issue different classes of shares or different series within a class, the designations, relative rights, preferences and limitations applicable to each class and the variations in rights, preferences and limitations determined for each series and the board’s authority to determine variations for future series must be summarized on the front or back of each certificate. Alternatively, each certificate may state conspicuously on its front or back that the Company will furnish the stockholder this information on request in writing and without charge.

7.3 Transfers. Transfers of stock shall be made only upon the share transfer books of the Company, kept at the registered office of the Company or at its principal place of business, or at the office of its transfer agent or registrar, and before a new certificate is issued the older certificate shall be surrendered for cancellation. The Board may, by resolution, open a share registered in any state of the United States, and may employ an agent or agents to keep such register, and to record transfers of shares therein. Shares shall be transferred by delivery of the certificates therefor, accompanied either by an assignment in writing on the back of the certificate or an assignment separate from certificate, or by a written power of attorney to sell, assign and transfer the same, signed by the holder of said certificate. No shares of stock shall be transferred on the books of the Company until the outstanding certificates therefor have been surrendered to the Company.

7.4 Registered Owner. Registered stockholders shall be treated by the Company as the holders in fact of the stock standing in their respective names and the Company shall not be bound to recognize any equitable or other claim to or interest in any share on the part of any other person, whether or not it shall have express or other notice thereto, except as expressly provided below or by the laws of the State of Delaware. The Board may adopt by resolution a procedure whereby a stockholder of the Company may certify in writing to the Company that all or a portion of the shares registered in the name of such stockholder are held for the account of a specified person or persons. The resolution shall set forth:

(i) The classification of stockholder who may certify;

(ii) The purpose or purposes for which the certification may be made;

(iii) The form of certification and information to be contained therein;

(iv) If the certification is with respect to a record date or closing of the share transfer books, the date within which the certification must be received by the Company; and

(v) Such other provisions with respect to the procedure as are deemed necessary or desirable.
 
C-12

 
Upon receipt by the Company of a certification complying with the procedure, the persons specified in the certification shall be deemed, for the purpose or purposes set forth in the certification, to be the holders of record of the number of shares specified in place of the stockholder making the certification.

7.5 Mutilated, Lost or Destroyed Certificates. In case of any mutilation, loss or destruction of any certificate of stock, another may be issued in its place on proof of such mutilation, loss or destruction. The Board may impose conditions on such issuance and may require the giving of a satisfactory bond or indemnity to the Company in such sum as they might determine or establish such other procedures as they deem necessary.

7.6 Fractional Shares or Scrip. The Company may: (i) issue fractions of a share which shall entitle the holder to exercise voting rights, to receive dividends thereon, and to participate in any of the assets of the Company in the event of liquidation; (ii) arrange for the disposition of the fractional interests by those entitled thereto; (iii) pay in cash the fair value of fractions of a share as of the time when those entitled to receive such shares are determined; or (iv) issue scrip in registered or bearer form which shall entitle the holder to receive a certificate for a full share upon the surrender of such scrip aggregating a full share. The Board may cause such scrip to be issued subject to the condition that it shall become void if not exchanged for certificates representing full shares before a specified date, or subject to the condition that the shares for which such scrip is exchangeable may be sold by the Company and the proceeds thereof distributed to the holders of such scrip, or subject to any other conditions which the Board may deem advisable.

7.7 Share of Another Corporation. Shares owned by the Company in another corporation, domestic or foreign, may be voted by such officer, agent or proxy as the Board may determine.

7.8 Issuance/Consideration. Shares may be issued at a price determined by the Board of Directors, or the Board may set a minimum price or establish a formula or method by which the price may be determined. Consideration for shares may consist of cash, promissory notes, services performed, and any other lawful form of consideration, including tangible or intangible property. If shares are issued for other than cash, the Board of Directors shall determine the value of the consideration. Shares issued when the Company receives the consideration determined by the Board are validly issued, fully paid and nonassesable. A good faith judgment of the Board of Directors as to the value of the consideration received for shares is conclusive.

The Company may place shares issued for a contract for future services or a promissory note in escrow, or make other arrangements to restrict the transfer of the shares, and make credit distributions in respect of the shares against their purchase price, until the services are performed or the note is paid. If the services are not performed or the note is not paid, the shares escrowed or restricted and the distributions credited may be cancelled in whole or in part.

(2) A shareholder who does not satisfy the requirements of subsection (1) of this section is not entitled to payment under this part.

If a shareholder fails to make this certification, the corporation may elect to treat the shareholder's shares as after-acquired shares under section 30-1-1325, Idaho Code. In addition, a shareholder who wishes to exercise appraisal rights must execute and return the form and, in the case of certificated shares, deposit the shareholder's certificates in accordance with the terms of the notice by the date referred to in the notice pursuant to section 30-1-1322(2)(b)(ii), Idaho Code. Once a shareholder deposits that shareholder's certificates or, in the case of uncertificated shares, returns the executed forms, that shareholder loses all rights as a shareholder, unless the shareholder withdraws pursuant to subsection (2) of this section.

(2) A shareholder who has complied with subsection (1) of this section may nevertheless decline to exercise appraisal rights and withdraw from the appraisal process by so notifying the corporation in writing by the date set forth in the appraisal notice pursuant to section 30-1-1322(2)(b)(v), Idaho Code. A shareholder who fails to so withdraw from the appraisal process may not thereafter withdraw without the corporation's written consent.

(3) A shareholder who does not execute and return the form and, in the case of certificated shares, deposit that shareholder's share certificates where required, each by the date set forth in the notice described in section 30- 1-1322(2), Idaho Code, shall not be entitled to payment under this part.
 
§ 30-1-1324. Payment 

(1) Except as provided in section 30-1-1325, Idaho Code, within thirty (30) days after the form required by section 30-1-1322(2)(b)(ii), Idaho Code, is due, the corporation shall pay in cash to those shareholders who complied with section 30-1-1323(1), Idaho Code, the amount the corporation estimates to be the fair value of their shares, plus interest.
 
D-7

 
(2) The payment to each shareholder pursuant to subsection (1) of this section must be accompanied by:

(a) Financial statements of the corporation that issued the shares to be appraised, consisting of a balance sheet as of the end of a fiscal year ending not more than sixteen (16) months before the date of payment, an income statement for that year, a statement of changes in shareholders' equity for that year, and the latest available interim financial statements, if any;

(b) A statement of the corporation's estimate of the fair value of the shares, which estimate must equal or exceed the corporation's estimate given pursuant to section 30-1-1322(2)(b)(iii), Idaho Code; and

(c) A statement that shareholders described in subsection (1) of this section have the right to demand further payment under section 30-1-1326, Idaho Code, and that if any shareholder does not do so within the time period specified therein, such shareholder shall be deemed to have accepted such payment in full satisfaction of the corporation's obligations under this part.

§ 30-1-1325. After-acquired shares 

(1) A corporation may elect to withhold payment required by section 30-1- 1324, Idaho Code, from any shareholder who did not certify that beneficial ownership of all of the shareholder's shares for which appraisal rights are asserted was acquired before the date set forth in the appraisal notice sent pursuant to section 30-1-1322(2)(a), Idaho Code.

(2) If the corporation elected to withhold payment under subsection (1) of this section, it must, within thirty (30) days after the form required by section 30-1-1322(2)(b)(ii), Idaho Code, is due, notify all shareholders who are described in subsection (1) of this section:

(a) Of the information required by section 30-1-1324(2)(a), Idaho Code;

(b) Of the corporation's estimate of fair value pursuant to section 39-1- 1324(2)(b) [30-1-1324(2)(b)], Idaho Code;

(c) That they may accept the corporation's estimate of fair value, plus interest, in full satisfaction of their demands or demand appraisal under section 30-1-1326, Idaho Code;

(d) That those shareholders who wish to accept such offer must so notify the corporation of their acceptance of the corporation's offer within thirty (30) days after receiving the offer; and

(e) That those shareholders who do not satisfy the requirements for demanding appraisal under section 30-1-1326, Idaho Code, shall be deemed to have accepted the corporation's offer.
 
D-8


 
(3) Within ten (10) days after receiving the shareholder's acceptance pursuant to subsection (2) of this section, the corporation must pay in cash the amount it offered under subsection (2)(b) of this section to each shareholder who agreed to accept the corporation's offer in full satisfaction of the shareholder's demand.

(4) Within forty (40) days after sending the notice described in subsection (2) of this section, the corporation must pay in cash the amount it offered to pay under subsection (2)(b) of this section to each shareholder described in subsection (2)(e) of this section.

§ 30-1-1326. Procedure if shareholder dissatisfied with payment or offer&a mp;# 160;

(1) A shareholder paid pursuant to section 30-1-1324, Idaho Code, who is dissatisfied with the amount of the payment must notify the corporation in writing of that shareholder's estimate of the fair value of the shares and demand payment of that estimate plus interest, less any payment under section 30-1-1324, Idaho Code. A shareholder offered payment under section 30-1-1325, Idaho Code, who is dissatisfied with that offer must reject the offer and demand payment of the shareholder's stated estimate of the fair value of the shares plus interest.

(2) A shareholder who fails to notify the corporation in writing of that shareholder's demand to be paid the shareholder's stated estimate of the fair value plus interest under subsection (1) of this section within thirty (30) days after receiving the corporation's payment or offer of payment under section 30-1-1324 or 30-1-1325, Idaho Code, respectively, waives the right to demand payment under this section and shall be entitled only to the payment made or offered pursuant to those respective sections.

§ 30-1-1330. Court action 

(1) If a shareholder makes demand for payment under section 30-1-1326, Idaho Code, which remains unsettled, the corporation shall commence a proceeding within sixty (60) days after receiving the payment demand and petition the court to determine the fair value of the shares and accrued interest. If the corporation does not commence the proceeding within the sixty-day period, it shall pay in cash to each shareholder the amount demanded pursuant to section 30-1-1326, Idaho Code, plus interest.

(2) The corporation shall commence the proceeding in the appropriate court of the county where the corporation's principal office is located, or, if none in this state, Ada county. If the corporation is a foreign corporation, it shall commence the proceeding in the county in this state where the principal office of the domestic corporation merged with the foreign corporation was located or, if the domestic corporation did not have its principal office in this state at the time of the transaction, in Ada county.
 
D-9

 
(3) The corporation shall make all shareholders, whether or not residents of this state, whose demands remain unsettled parties to the proceeding, as in an action against their shares, and all parties must be served with a copy of the petition. Nonresidents may be served by registered or certified mail or by publication as provided by law.

(4) The jurisdiction of the court in which the proceeding is commenced under subsection (2) of this section is plenary and exclusive. The court may appoint one (1) or more persons as appraisers to receive evidence and recommend a decision on the question of fair value. The appraisers shall have the powers described in the order appointing them, or in any amendment to it. The shareholders demanding appraisal rights are entitled to the same discovery rights as parties in other civil proceedings. There shall be no right to a jury trial.

(5) Each shareholder made a party to the proceeding is entitled to judgment:

(a) For the amount, if any, by which the court finds the fair value of the shareholder's shares, plus interest, exceeds the amount paid by the corporation to the shareholder for such shares; or

(b) For the fair value, plus interest, of the shareholder's shares for which the corporation elected to withhold payment under section 30-1-1325, Idaho Code.

§ 30-1-1331. Court costs and counsel fees 

(1) The court in an appraisal proceeding commenced under section 30-1-1330, Idaho Code, shall determine all costs of the proceeding, including the reasonable compensation and expenses of appraisers appointed by the court. The court shall assess the costs against the corporation, except that the court may assess costs against all or some of the shareholders demanding appraisal, in amounts the court finds equitable, to the extent the court finds such shareholders acted arbitrarily, vexatiously, or not in good faith with respect to the rights provided by this part.

(2) The court in an appraisal proceeding may also assess the fees and expenses of counsel and experts for the respective parties, in amounts the court finds equitable:

(a) Against the corporation and in favor of any or all shareholders demanding appraisal if the court finds the corporation did not substantially comply with the requirements of section 30-1-1320, 30-1-1322, 30-1-1324 or 30- 1-1325, Idaho Code; or

(b) Against either the corporation or a shareholder demanding appraisal, in favor of any other party, if the court finds that the party against whom the fees and expenses are assessed acted arbitrarily, vexatiously, or not in good faith with respect to the rights provided by this part.

(3) If the court in an appraisal proceeding finds that the services of counsel for any shareholder were of substantial benefit to other shareholders similarly situated, and that the fees for those services should not be assessed against the corporation, the court may award to such counsel reasonable fees to be paid out of the amounts awarded to shareholders who were benefited.

(4) To the extent the corporation fails to make a required payment pursuant to section 30-1-1324, 30-1-1325 or 30-1-1326, Idaho Code, the shareholder may sue directly for the amount owed and, to the extent successful, shall be entitled to recover from the corporation all costs and expenses of the suit, including counsel fees.
