VANCOUVER, BRITISH COLUMBIA--(CCNMatthews - Dec. 5, 2005) - IMA Exploration Inc. (AMEX:IMR) (TSX VENTURE:IMR) (FWB:IMT) (WKN 884971) is pleased to announce that the Company's President & CEO, Mr. Joseph Grosso, has been named as the "Exploration Man of the Year" by the Argentinean mining Association Panorama Minero. This prestigious award was presented at the 29th annual Argentinean Mining Exposition in Buenos Aires, Argentina, in recognition of Mr. Grosso's outstanding achievement in mineral exploration.

In accepting the award Mr. Grosso commented; "It is a great honor to receive this award and I would like to express to you my deepest gratitude. I cannot accept this award alone; it belongs to all the members of my team, and in particular our Argentinean contingent, which I am proud to say is almost 100% Argentine. We have achieved this success only through the combination of our talent, skills and good fortune. I would like to add that all the knowledge I have of mining I learned here in Argentina, and tonight I feel like an adopted son of Argentina. Thank you."

Other award recipients at this gala event included Barrick Gold Corp., which received the award for Mining Company of the year.

Through the month of December 2005 the Biography Channel in Canada will be airing features on IMA Exploration Inc. and other companies managed by The Grosso Group. These features can also be viewed on The Grosso Group web site (www.grossogroup.com).
