Registration Statement on Form 10-SB (File No.&nbsp;000-25727), as amended (declared
effective on June&nbsp;4, 1999), filed under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 and all
amendments and reports filed for the purpose of updating this description.

Statement and prior to the filing of a post-effective amendment that indicates that all of the
shares of Common Stock offered have been sold or that deregisters all shares of the Common Stock
then remaining unsold shall be deemed to be incorporated by reference in and a part of this
Registration Statement from the date of filing of these documents.

herein shall be deemed to be modified or superseded for purposes of this Registration Statement to
the extent that a statement contained herein or incorporated herein by reference or in any other

modifies or supersedes the statement. Any statement so modified or superseded shall not be deemed,
except as so modified or superseded, to constitute a part of this Registration Statement.

<DIV align="left" style="font-size: 10pt; margin-top: 6pt">&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Insofar as indemnification for liabilities arising under the Securities Act of 1933 may be
permitted to directors, officers or persons controlling the Registrant pursuant to the foregoing
provisions, the Registrant has been informed that in the opinion of the Commission, this
indemnification is against public policy as expressed in the Securities Act of 1933, and is
therefore unenforceable.
</DIV>

<DIV align="left" style="font-size: 10pt; margin-top: 6pt">&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;The Registrant also maintains a director and officer insurance policy to cover the Registrant,
its directors and its officers against certain liabilities.

<DIV align="left" style="font-size: 10pt; margin-top: 6pt">&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Under Article&nbsp;V, Sections&nbsp;1 and 2 of the Registrant&#146;s By-Laws, as amended, and Article&nbsp;8,
Section&nbsp;8.5 of the Registrant&#146;s Restated Articles of Incorporation, as amended, the Registrant
indemnifies its directors and officers and advances litigation expenses to the fullest extent
required or permitted by Minnesota Statutes Section&nbsp;302A.521. This indemnification is subject to
the requirement in the case of legal judgments, that the individual seeking indemnification is not
finally adjudged to have been guilty of willful misconduct detrimental to the best interests of the
Registrant. Section&nbsp;302A.521 requires the Registrant to indemnify a person made or threatened to
be made a party to a proceeding, by reason of the former or present official capacity of the person
with respect to the Registrant, against judgments, penalties, fines, including without limitation,
excise taxes assessed against the person with respect to an employee benefit plan, settlements, and
reasonable expenses, including attorneys&#146; fees and disbursements, if, with respect to the acts or
omissions of the person complained of in the proceeding, such person (1)&nbsp;has not been indemnified
by another organization or employee benefit plan for the same judgments, penalties, fines,
including without limitation, excise taxes assessed against the person with respect to an employee
benefit plan, settlements, and reasonable expenses, including attorneys&#146; fees and disbursements,
incurred by the person in connection with the proceeding with respect to the same acts or
omissions; (2)&nbsp;acted in good faith; (3)&nbsp;received no improper personal benefit, and statutory
procedure has been followed in the case of any conflict of interest by a director; (4)&nbsp;in the case
of a criminal proceeding, had no reasonable cause to believe the conduct was unlawful; and (5)&nbsp;in
the case of acts or omissions occurring in the person&#146;s performance in the official capacity of
director or, for a person not a director, in the official capacity of officer, committee member,
employee or agent, reasonably believed that the conduct was in the best interests of the
Registrant, or in the case of performance by a director, officer, employee or agent of the
Registrant as a director, officer, partner, trustee, employee or agent of another organization or
employee benefit plan, reasonably believed that the conduct was not opposed to the best interests
of the Registrant. In addition, Section&nbsp;302A.521, subd. 3, requires payment by the Registrant upon
written request, of reasonable expenses in advance of final disposition in certain instances.
</DIV>

<DIV align="left" style="font-size: 10pt; margin-top: 6pt">&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;The Restated Articles of Incorporation of the Registrant, as amended, eliminate the personal
liability of a director to the Registrant or its shareholders for monetary damages for breach of
fiduciary duty as a director, except under certain circumstances involving any breach of the
director&#146;s duty of loyalty to the Registrant or its shareholders, acts or omissions not in good
faith or that involve intentional misconduct or a knowing violation of law, or for any unlawful
acts under Sections&nbsp;302A.559 or 80A.23 of Minnesota Statutes.

post-effective amendment to this Registration Statement:
</DIV>


<DIV align="left" style="font-size: 10pt; margin-top: 6pt; margin-left: 4%">&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(i) To include any prospectus required by Section&nbsp;10(a)(3) of the Securities

<DIV align="left" style="font-size: 10pt; margin-top: 6pt; margin-left: 4%">&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(ii) To reflect in the prospectus any facts or events arising after the
effective date of the Registration Statement (or the most recent post-effective
amendment thereof) which, individually or in the aggregate, represent a fundamental
change in the information set forth in the Registration Statement. Notwithstanding
the foregoing, any increase or decrease in volume of securities offered (if the
total dollar value of securities offered would not exceed that which was registered)
and any deviation from the low or high end of the estimated maximum offering range
may be reflected in the form of prospectus filed with the Securities and Exchange
Commission pursuant to Rule 424(b) if, in the aggregate, the changes in volume and
price represent no more than a 20&nbsp;percent change in the maximum aggregate offering
price set forth in the &#147;Calculation of Registration Fee&#148; table in the effective
Registration Statement; and
</DIV>


<DIV align="left" style="font-size: 10pt; margin-top: 6pt; margin-left: 4%">&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(iii) To include any material information with respect to the plan of
distribution not previously disclosed in the Registration Statement or any material
change to such information in the Registration Statement;
</DIV>


<DIV align="left" style="font-size: 10pt; margin-top: 6pt; margin-left: 2%"><I>provided</I>, <I>however</I>, that paragraphs (A)(1)(i) and (A)(1)(ii) do not apply if the Registration
Statement is on Form S-8 and the information required to be included in a post-effective
amendment by those paragraphs is contained in reports filed with or furnished to the
Securities and Exchange Commission by the Registrant pursuant to Section&nbsp;13 or Section 15(d)
of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 that are incorporated by reference in the
Registration Statement.
</DIV>


<DIV align="left" style="font-size: 10pt; margin-top: 6pt; margin-left: 2%">&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(2) That, for the purpose of determining any liability under the Securities Act of
1933, each post-effective amendment shall be deemed to be a new registration statement
relating to the securities offered therein, and the offering of such securities at that time
shall be deemed to be the initial <I>bona fide </I>offering thereof.
</DIV>


<DIV align="left" style="font-size: 10pt; margin-top: 6pt; margin-left: 2%">&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(3) To remove from registration by means of a post-effective amendment any of the
securities being registered which remain unsold at the termination of the offering.
</DIV>
<DIV align="left" style="font-size: 10pt; margin-top: 6pt">B. The Registrant hereby undertakes that, for purposes of determining any liability under the
Securities Act of 1933, each filing of the Registrant&#146;s annual report pursuant to Section 13(a) or
Section 15(d) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 (and, where applicable, each filing of an
employee benefit plan&#146;s annual report pursuant to Section 15(d) of the Securities Exchange Act of
1934) that is incorporated by reference in the Registration Statement shall be deemed to be a new
registration statement relating to the securities offered herein, and the offering of such
securities at that time shall be deemed to be the initial <I>bona fide </I>offering thereof.
</DIV>

<DIV align="left" style="font-size: 10pt; margin-top: 6pt">C. Insofar as indemnification for liabilities arising under the Securities Act of 1933 may be
permitted to directors, officers and controlling persons of the Registrant pursuant to the
foregoing provisions, or otherwise, the Registrant has been advised that in the opinion of the
Securities and Exchange Commission such indemnification is against public policy as expressed in
the Act and is, therefore, unenforceable. In the event that a claim for indemnification against
such liabilities (other than the payment by the Registrant of expenses incurred or paid by a
director, officer or controlling person of the Registrant in the successful defense of any action,
suit or proceeding) is asserted by such director, officer or controlling person in connection with
the securities being registered, the Registrant will, unless in the opinion of its counsel the
matter has been settled by controlling precedent, submit to a court of appropriate jurisdiction the
question whether such indemnification by it is against public policy as expressed in the Act and
will be governed by the final adjudication of such issue.

EXPLANATORY NOTE
This Registration Statement on Form S-8 is being filed for the purpose of registering 100,000
shares of the Registrant's Common Stock to be issued pursuant to the IKONICS Corporation 1995 Stock
Incentive Plan (the "Plan"). In accordance with Section E of the General Instructions to Form S-8,
the Registration Statement previously filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the
"Commission") relating to the Plan (File No. 333-92893) is incorporated by reference herein.
PART II
INFORMATION REQUIRED IN THE REGISTRATION STATEMENT
Item 3.
Incorporation of Documents by Reference.
The following documents of the Registrant filed with the Commission pursuant to the Securities
Exchange Act of 1934 are, as of their respective dates, incorporated herein by reference and made a
part hereof:
(1) The Annual Report on Form 10-K of the Registrant for the fiscal year ended
December 31, 2008 (which incorporates by reference certain portions of the
Registrant's definitive proxy statement for its 2009 annual meeting of shareholders)
filed pursuant to Section 15(d) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934;
(2) All other reports filed pursuant to Section 13(a) or 15(d) of the
Securities Exchange Act of 1934 since the filing of the annual report referred to in
(1) above; and
(3) The description of the Registrant's Common Stock that is contained in the
Registration Statement on Form 10-SB (File No. 000-25727), as amended (declared
effective on June 4, 1999), filed under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 and all
amendments and reports filed for the purpose of updating this description.
All reports and other documents filed by the Registrant pursuant to Sections 13(a), 13(c), 14
or 15(d) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 subsequent to the date of this Registration
Statement and prior to the filing of a post-effective amendment that indicates that all of the
shares of Common Stock offered have been sold or that deregisters all shares of the Common Stock
then remaining unsold shall be deemed to be incorporated by reference in and a part of this
Registration Statement from the date of filing of these documents.
Any statement contained in a document incorporated, or deemed to be incorporated, by reference
herein shall be deemed to be modified or superseded for purposes of this Registration Statement to
the extent that a statement contained herein or incorporated herein by reference or in any other
subsequently filed document that also is or is deemed to be incorporated by reference herein
modifies or supersedes the statement. Any statement so modified or superseded shall not be deemed,
except as so modified or superseded, to constitute a part of this Registration Statement.
Insofar as indemnification for liabilities arising under the Securities Act of 1933 may be
permitted to directors, officers or persons controlling the Registrant pursuant to the foregoing
provisions, the Registrant has been informed that in the opinion of the Commission, this
indemnification is against public policy as expressed in the Securities Act of 1933, and is
therefore unenforceable.
The Registrant also maintains a director and officer insurance policy to cover the Registrant,
its directors and its officers against certain liabilities.

Item 6.
Indemnification of Directors and Officers.
Under Article V, Sections 1 and 2 of the Registrant's By-Laws, as amended, and Article 8,
Section 8.5 of the Registrant's Restated Articles of Incorporation, as amended, the Registrant
indemnifies its directors and officers and advances litigation expenses to the fullest extent
required or permitted by Minnesota Statutes Section 302A.521. This indemnification is subject to
the requirement in the case of legal judgments, that the individual seeking indemnification is not
finally adjudged to have been guilty of willful misconduct detrimental to the best interests of the
Registrant. Section 302A.521 requires the Registrant to indemnify a person made or threatened to
be made a party to a proceeding, by reason of the former or present official capacity of the person
with respect to the Registrant, against judgments, penalties, fines, including without limitation,
excise taxes assessed against the person with respect to an employee benefit plan, settlements, and
reasonable expenses, including attorneys' fees and disbursements, if, with respect to the acts or
omissions of the person complained of in the proceeding, such person (1) has not been indemnified
by another organization or employee benefit plan for the same judgments, penalties, fines,
including without limitation, excise taxes assessed against the person with respect to an employee
benefit plan, settlements, and reasonable expenses, including attorneys' fees and disbursements,
incurred by the person in connection with the proceeding with respect to the same acts or
omissions; (2) acted in good faith; (3) received no improper personal benefit, and statutory
procedure has been followed in the case of any conflict of interest by a director; (4) in the case
of a criminal proceeding, had no reasonable cause to believe the conduct was unlawful; and (5) in
the case of acts or omissions occurring in the person's performance in the official capacity of
director or, for a person not a director, in the official capacity of officer, committee member,
employee or agent, reasonably believed that the conduct was in the best interests of the
Registrant, or in the case of performance by a director, officer, employee or agent of the
Registrant as a director, officer, partner, trustee, employee or agent of another organization or
employee benefit plan, reasonably believed that the conduct was not opposed to the best interests
of the Registrant. In addition, Section 302A.521, subd. 3, requires payment by the Registrant upon
written request, of reasonable expenses in advance of final disposition in certain instances.
The Restated Articles of Incorporation of the Registrant, as amended, eliminate the personal
liability of a director to the Registrant or its shareholders for monetary damages for breach of
fiduciary duty as a director, except under certain circumstances involving any breach of the
director's duty of loyalty to the Registrant or its shareholders, acts or omissions not in good
faith or that involve intentional misconduct or a knowing violation of law, or for any unlawful
acts under Sections 302A.559 or 80A.23 of Minnesota Statutes.

Item 9.
Undertakings.
A. The Registrant hereby undertakes:
(1) To file, during any period in which offers or sales are being made, a
post-effective amendment to this Registration Statement:
(i) To include any prospectus required by Section 10(a)(3) of the Securities
Act of 1933;
(ii) To reflect in the prospectus any facts or events arising after the
effective date of the Registration Statement (or the most recent post-effective
amendment thereof) which, individually or in the aggregate, represent a fundamental
change in the information set forth in the Registration Statement. Notwithstanding
the foregoing, any increase or decrease in volume of securities offered (if the
total dollar value of securities offered would not exceed that which was registered)
and any deviation from the low or high end of the estimated maximum offering range
may be reflected in the form of prospectus filed with the Securities and Exchange
Commission pursuant to Rule 424(b) if, in the aggregate, the changes in volume and
price represent no more than a 20 percent change in the maximum aggregate offering
price set forth in the "Calculation of Registration Fee" table in the effective
Registration Statement; and
(iii) To include any material information with respect to the plan of
distribution not previously disclosed in the Registration Statement or any material
change to such information in the Registration Statement;
provided
,
however
, that paragraphs (A)(1)(i) and (A)(1)(ii) do not apply if the Registration
Statement is on Form S-8 and the information required to be included in a post-effective
amendment by those paragraphs is contained in reports filed with or furnished to the
Securities and Exchange Commission by the Registrant pursuant to Section 13 or Section 15(d)
of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 that are incorporated by reference in the
Registration Statement.
(2) That, for the purpose of determining any liability under the Securities Act of
1933, each post-effective amendment shall be deemed to be a new registration statement
relating to the securities offered therein, and the offering of such securities at that time
shall be deemed to be the initial
bona fide
offering thereof.
(3) To remove from registration by means of a post-effective amendment any of the
securities being registered which remain unsold at the termination of the offering.
B. The Registrant hereby undertakes that, for purposes of determining any liability under the
Securities Act of 1933, each filing of the Registrant's annual report pursuant to Section 13(a) or
Section 15(d) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 (and, where applicable, each filing of an
employee benefit plan's annual report pursuant to Section 15(d) of the Securities Exchange Act of
1934) that is incorporated by reference in the Registration Statement shall be deemed to be a new
registration statement relating to the securities offered herein, and the offering of such
securities at that time shall be deemed to be the initial
bona fide
offering thereof.
C. Insofar as indemnification for liabilities arising under the Securities Act of 1933 may be
permitted to directors, officers and controlling persons of the Registrant pursuant to the
foregoing provisions, or otherwise, the Registrant has been advised that in the opinion of the
Securities and Exchange Commission such indemnification is against public policy as expressed in
the Act and is, therefore, unenforceable. In the event that a claim for indemnification against
such liabilities (other than the payment by the Registrant of expenses incurred or paid by a
director, officer or controlling person of the Registrant in the successful defense of any action,
suit or proceeding) is asserted by such director, officer or controlling person in connection with
the securities being registered, the Registrant will, unless in the opinion of its counsel the
matter has been settled by controlling precedent, submit to a court of appropriate jurisdiction the
question whether such indemnification by it is against public policy as expressed in the Act and
will be governed by the final adjudication of such issue.
