Exploration focus on southern Gawler Craton by expert team with track record

Success of the greenfields Paris silver discovery

• Potential to be a shallow, high-grade and large silver deposit

• Ongoing drilling Paris with the aim of initial resource by end of

2012

Well positioned to make more precious & base metal discoveries

• New ideas and exploration tactics proven by Paris discovery

• Dominant ground position

• Pipeline of similarly developed targets for silver, gold, copper

• Well funded

Leading an exploration resurgence on Eyre Peninsula

Exploration update – aggressive program continues

Paris silver prospect • Drilling during June Quarter: 7 diamond holes & 17 RCP holes

completed for 4,810m; First of 3,100 assays awaited expected soon

• Drilling continues with 2 rigs for another 49 diamond holes (8,000m) in best mineralised areas through to September

• Aiming for resource estimation late in December Quarter

Peterlumbo satellite targets - to be progressed in Sept Quarter

• RCP drilling of southern extensions to Paris trend

• Heritage surveys to access other targets for drilling in December quarter (Helen North, Trojan Horse, Alexander North)

• Completion of first pass soil sampling for balance of tenement

Other new soil target areas on Eyre Peninsula • First pass aircore drilling of Botenella Gate underway (1,400m)

• Progressing Native Title negotiations to access Hopcrafts Dam for first-pass drilling in Dec Quarter

Bute IOCG target, Yorke Peninsula First pass scout drilling undertaken late June Quarter; 44 shallow aircore holes on 6 scout traverses; samples despatched to lab.

Gawler Craton as a resurging exploration frontier

South Australia’s ’s early promise as a mining state and its prospective geology was beaten by cover.

After Olympic Dam discovery (ahead of its time), discoveries stagnated until new technologies like calcrete geochemistry & gravity restarted discoveries through 1990’s & 2000’s.

Opportunity is available to take exploration to next level of difficulty.

Strong competition for tenure means advantages are needed to decide where and how to look for the next generation of new mineral deposits.

IVR is grasping that opportunity as shown by the Paris silver discovery.

IVR’s Advantages

• Focussing expertise on southern Gawler Craton where thin cover provides opportunities for new breakthrough discoveries

• Leading industry with new targeting model (Moonta Corridor)

• Dominant ground position

• Proprietary dataset of innovative

regional soil geochemistry enabled new targets to be defined on Eyre Peninsula
