Item 1.01                     Entry into a Material Definitive Agreement

 

On March 4, 2010, General Moly, Inc. (the “Company”) and Hanlong (USA) Mining Investment, Inc. (“Hanlong”), an affiliate of Sichuan Hanlong Group, a large privately held Chinese company, signed a Securities Purchase Agreement (the “Purchase Agreement”), a Bridge Loan Agreement (the “Loan Agreement”), and certain other agreements as previously disclosed in the Company’s filings with the Securities and Exchange Commission.  Under the terms of the Purchase Agreement, Hanlong is required to obtain government approvals for its purchase of the Company’s common stock within three months of stockholder approval, or by August 13, 2010.  Based on discussions with Hanlong, it was determined that it is highly unlikely that all of the Chinese Government approvals will be fully obtained by this deadline.

 

Therefore, on July 30, 2010, the Company and Hanlong executed an amendment to the Purchase Agreement extending the deadline for obtaining government approvals by two months to October 13, 2010.  In consideration for the extension, the amendment also extends the Company’s deadlines for publishing its Draft Environmental Impact Statement (“DEIS”) and receiving its Record of Decision (“ROD”) by two months, to February 28, 2011, and November 30, 2011, respectively, although the Company currently does not anticipate utilizing the additional time permitted for the publication of the DEIS or receipt of the ROD.  Conforming changes were made to other dates in the agreement.

 

In connection with the amendment to the Purchase Agreement, the Company and Hanlong also executed an amendment to the Loan Agreement extending the maturity date to March 31, 2012.

 

Item 2.02                     Results of Operations and Financial Condition

The information contained in this Item 2.02 and in Exhibit 99.1 shall not be deemed to be “filed” for purposes of Section 18 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, or otherwise subject to the liabilities of that Section.
