ITEM 8.01 OTHER EVENTS


On February 14, 2005, Idaho General Mines, Inc. entered into an Option Agreement with High Desert Winds LLC for properties in Nye County, Nevada.  Pursuant to the terms of the Agreement, Idaho General Mines has been granted a nine months option to purchase the ten square mile property including the buildings, remaining equipment, mineral and surface rights, wind generation potential and water rights.  These properties would transfer to IGMI upon payment of $5 million to High Desert Winds LLC.


The property includes the former Hall molybdenum and copper mine which was mined by open pit methods between 1982 and 1985 by the Anaconda Company for molybdenum and by Equatorial Tonopah, Inc. for copper in 1999 to 2000.  Much of the deposit was drilled but not developed or mined.  These previous operations are under reclamation by Equatorial Tonopah.


Idaho General Mine’s Option Agreement calls for completing an asset purchase agreement.  Idaho General Mines intends to use the option period to determine whether the property is suitable for the use for exploration for base, specialty, or precious metals and potentially producing alternative energy on the property as a second alternative property use.
