I-Minerals Announces Closing of Disposition of I-Minerals USA

Vancouver, British Columbia--(Newsfile Corp. - March 6, 2023) - I-Minerals Inc. (TSXV: IMA) (OTC Pink: IMAHF) ("the Company") is pleased to announce that it closed the previously announced disposition (the "Disposition") of all issued and outstanding shares of i-minerals USA, Inc., an Idaho company that owns the leases that comprise the Helmer-Bovill Property, to BV Lending, LLC an Idaho limited liability company, pursuant to the terms of a Stock Purchase Agreement dated September 14, 2022, as amended, among the Company, BV Lending, LLC and i-minerals USA, Inc.

As a result of the Disposition, the Company has no mineral properties and will need to identify and, if successful, acquire a new business, which it will be positioned to do with a balance sheet free of existing indebtedness. As such, subsequent to closing, the Company will be transferred to the NEX as the Company will no longer meet the TSXV continued listing standards until the Company acquires a new business.
