ITEM  5.  OTHER  EVENTS.

On  May  13,  2004,  Intrepid  Technology  and Resources, Inc., ("the Company"),
completed  a  Purchase  Agreement  with  the Magic Valley Energy Coalition ("the
Coalition") to buy out the Coalition's one-third (1/3) share of ownership in the
Magic  Valley  Energy  Company, LLC ("MVEC").  This purchase makes MVEC a wholly
owned  subsidiary  of  the  Company.

The  Coalition was formed in 2001, by a group of Idaho business and agricultural
leaders  who  desired  to  promote  economic  development  via  renewable  and
alternative  energy  projects  in  their  region,  with  particular  emphasis on
development  of  ethanol  and biodiesel production. In 2002, the Company and the
Coalition  teamed  together  forming  MVEC  in  order  to  bring  together  the
engineering,  management and business capabilities to execute alternative energy
projects.

This  wholly  owned  subsidiary  is based in Magic Valley, making it eligible to
secure  federal  grants,  loan  guarantees,  and  other  assistance  aimed  at
stimulating  rural  economies  that  are  available only to rural small business
entities.

The  purchase  price  was  for  $20,000 of the Company's common stock based on a
30-day  average closing price of $.0786 per share. This transaction is less than
the  requirements  for a significant acquisition whereby the total value of this
purchase  is  less  than  10%  of  the  total  assets  of  the  Company.
