TROPICANA JV - PROJECT UPDATE

Independence Group NL is pleased to announce significant new drilling results at the Tropicana Project as follows:-

Tropicana Zone (Table 1)

Hole TPRC106 was drilled on the southern end of the Tropicana Zone (Figure 2) and intersected 10m @ 2.0g/t Au from 77 metres.

Havana Zone (Table 2)

Hole TPRC140 intercepts are the most northerly data returned from the Havana Zone to date, up-dip from significant gold intercepts in holes TPRC141 and 142 (Figures 1 & 2).

Hole TPRC140 returned 7m @ 3.9g/t Au from 38 metres and 16m @ 2.1g/t Au from 48 metres.

Independence Group NL previously released significant new drilling results on 4th July 2006. The company advises that the joint venture partners (Independence Group NL and AngloGold Ashanti Limited) are targeting a multi-million ounce gold deposit and that extensive drilling is required to bring the target to a JORC-Compliant resource level.

It is anticipated that a JORC-Compliant resource will be available for announcement by the partners in mid to late 2007.
