LONG OPERATION

Record total ore production for the year ended June 2007 of 266,442 tonnes (FY’06: 238,547 tonnes) at an average head grade of 3.69% (FY’06: 3.73%) for 9,825 tonnes of nickel metal delivered (FY’06: 8,897 tonnes). Ore was primarily sourced from Long, Victor South and the newly developed McLeay deposit.

Cash costs for the year per payable pound were A$4.35/lb, representing a 16% increase on the previous financial year (FY’06: A$3.75). Excluding increased royalty costs of A$0.23c/lb, cash costs per payable pound rose only 9.9% amidst escalating operating costs currently affecting the mining industry.

Development of the McLeay deposit continued during the period and is now a significant ore source for the Long operation . Exploration and development at McLeay Shoots 1 and 2 have led to the extension of this deposit 430 metres and 150 metres south of June 2006 ore reserves respectively. Drilling activities at McLeay are focused on the conversion of existing mineral resources to ore reserves.

Change legend in cash cost chart from US$ to AU$.

Recent drilling has also led to the discovery of Shoot 3 with intercepts including 7.3m @ 9.7% Ni over a 250m strike length, open to the north and south. This shoot is positioned 20 metres below Shoot 1. Shoots 1, 2, 3 and 4 all remain open to the south. Infill and step-out drilling is continuing. The reserve conversion program is ongoing with updated reserves/resources to be announced in September/October 2007 .

INCOME STATEMENT

Total revenue for the year increased by 100% to $226.5 million (FY’06: $113.4 million).

The 201% increase in FY’07 net profit to $105.3 million was largely attributed to spot nickel prices being higher than in FY’06, coupled with a greater proportion of nickel sold into spot prices than delivered into lower-priced hedge contracts. The mine also produced more nickel than the previous year which added to revenue. EBITDA increased by 170% to $161.1 million.

The average realised nickel price increased to A$17.32/lb in FY’07 from A$9.61/lb in 2005/06. Royalty expense increased to $9.0 million from $2.9 million in the previous year while capitalised exploration costs written off during the year increased by 64% to $11.4 million.

Fully diluted earnings per share increased by 195% to 90.38 cents from 30.67 cents in 2005/6.

CASH FLOW STATEMENT

Strong gross cash flow generation from operating activities of $186.2 million represented a significant increase over the previous corresponding period (FY’06: $44.3 million).

Independence utilised this cash flow to fund:

• dividend distribution of $14.8 million (FY’06: $7.8 million);

• Long operation and regional exploration of $10.3 million;

• � new mining plant and equipment and mine development expenditure totalling $11 million (FY’06: $5.5 million);

• � income tax of $27.5 million (FY’06: $14.2 million).

BALANCE SHEET

Cash and equivalents totalled $152 million at year end, with an additional $12.5 million in net receivables, while cash and equivalents exceeded interest-bearing debt by $162.5 million (FY’06 $22.9 million). Cash and equivalents excludes investments in listed entities which were valued at $15.1 million at year end.

Total debt at balance date was $1.9 million (FY’06: $3.2 million). Net assets increased by 114.7% to $102.9 million whilst net tangible assets increased to 79.8 cents per share at year-end (FY’06: 25.2 cents per share).

• � one-off special interim dividend of 3 cents per share (paid March 2007).

In addition, Independence announces a final fully franked dividend of 7 cents per share which will be payable on 17 September 2007. Due to high nickel prices received in 2007, a one-off special dividend of 5 cents per share will also be paid, bringing the total final dividend payable to 12 cents per share. The record date for determining dividend entitlements is 3 September 2007.

TROPICANA

A Pre-feasibility Study at the Tropicana joint venture with AngloGold Ashanti Australia Ltd (“AGA”) is underway and is expected to be completed in mid-2008. The Study is focussed on open-cut resources at the Tropicana and Havana Zones only.

An initial JORC-compliant open-cut resource for the Tropicana and Havana Zones is expected to be released by late 2007. Regional exploration is continuing on the Joint Venture’s tenement package.

Exploration and evaluation of the Tropicana JV project area (12,260 square kilometres) continued to generate encouraging results during the year. Recent high-grade drill intersections at Tropicana (46m @ 4.6g/t Au) and Havana (27m @ 8.1g/t Au) are likely to extend the April 2007 conceptual open-cut limits. The Tropicana and Havana Zones still remain open down-plunge and down-dip.

EXPLORATION

Independence incurred $10.3 million on exploration during 2006/07 which included exploration at the Long operation as well as other regional projects.

Ore reserve drilling is continuing at McLeay and Long, with updated mineral resource and ore reserve estimates expected to be released in September/October 2007. Several targets with potential for hosting nickel deposits have been generated at the Long operation including McLeay South, Long South, Long North and Gibb North. Each of these targets will be advanced during 2007/08.

Exploration of the sizable Tropicana JV project area continued to generate favourable results during the period including the discovery of significant bedrock mineralisation at Beachcomber 1, located 220km south west of the Tropicana Prospect. Regional vertical aircore drilling on 1,000m x 200m spacing at Beachcomber 1 returned 3m @ 65.8g/t Au from 25m depth. Auger geochemical sampling and aircore drilling have also defined numerous new gold anomalies north and south of the Tropicana and Havana Zones over a 20km strike length, including 9m @ 2.4g/t Au (4m composites) 4kms north-east of Tropicana (open at depth). Numerous other geochemical targets remain to be tested at the Tropicana project.

A number of other projects also returned encouraging exploration results during the year, including the Dalwallinu and Coomberdale gold projects and the Wiluna and Duketon nickel projects.

OUTLOOK

Independence is focused on continuing to expand the Long nickel mine reserve base and on solid operational performance. Forecast ore production for financial year 2008 is 230,000 to 235,000 tonnes at an average head grade of 3.8% nickel for production of 8,800 to 9,000 tonnes of contained nickel. Cash costs per payable pound of nickel are forecast to be between A$4.50 and A$4.65.

Exploration expenditure is budgeted at S14 million for the 2007/08 year which includes regional exploration as well as exploration at the Long Nickel Mine.

PRELIMINARY FINAL REPORT INFORMATION – 1 JULY 2006 TO 30 JUNE 2007 LODGED WITH THE ASX UNDER LISTING RULE 4.3A

Key Information – Results for Announcement to the Market

	$’000	% Increase/(Decrease) over Previous Corresponding Period
Revenue from ordinary activities	226,542	100%
Profit from ordinary activities after tax attributable to members	105,347	201%
Net profit attributable to members	105,347	201%

The previous corresponding period is the year ended 30 June 2006.

	2007	2006
Basic earnings per share (cents)	92.80	31.86
Diluted earnings per share (cents)	90.38	30.67
Net tangible assets per share (cents)	78.93	25.20

The major factor contributing to the above increases was that spot nickel prices during the 2007 period were significantly higher than in the previous corresponding period and that more nickel was sold into spot as hedging commitments decreased over the period.

The Company paid a fully franked interim dividend of 6 cents per share from 2006/7 profits. The Company has announced a fully franked 2006/7 final dividend of 7 cents per share will be paid on 17 September 2007. Due to high nickel prices received during the year, the Company will also pay a special dividend of 5 cents per share bringing the total final dividend payable to 12 cents per share. The record date for determining dividend entitlements is 3 September 2007.

The Company has a 50% interest in associated company Southstar Diamonds Limited.

The Company did not gain or lose control over any entity during the period.

The accounts are currently being audited by BDO Kendalls who have advised that the accounts are not likely to be subject to dispute or qualification.

		105,347 34,986 - -
		105,347 34,986

Comments on the operations and the results of those operations are set out below:

a) Nickel mining

This division consists of Lightning Nickel Pty Ltd’s Kambalda operation, the Long Nickel Mine.

b) Exploration activities

• Exploration expenditure is incurred throughout Australia. The exploration activities in the above segment relate to that portion of exploration expenditure incurred on projects for which the company believes no future income is likely to be generated. Expenditure on projects still in the assessment and evaluation stage are capitalised and are not included in this segment.

Profit from ordinary activities before related income tax expense increased by $100.7 million (200%) to $151.1 million.

The major factors contributing to the increase in profit were that spot nickel prices during the 2007 period were higher than in 2006, less nickel was delivered into lower-priced hedge contracts which enabled more nickel to be sold at spot prices during 2007, and higher nickel production was achieved during 2007 than in 2006.

Rounding of amounts to nearest thousand dollars

The company is of a kind referred to in Class Order 98/01/00 issued by the Australian Securities & Investments Commission, relating to the “rounding off” of amounts in the directors’ report and financial report. Amounts in the directors’ report and financial report have been rounded off to the nearest thousand dollars in accordance with that Class Order.
