Competent Person Statements

Notes:

The information in this summary presentation that relates to Exploration Results is based on information compiled by Mr Christopher M Bonwick who is a full‐time employee of the Company and is a member of the Australasian Institute of Mining and Metallurgy. Mr Bonwick has sufficient experience which is relevant to the style of mineralisation and type of deposit under consideration and to the activity which he is undertaking to qualify as a Competent Person as defined in the 2004 Edition of the ‘Australasian Code for Reporting of Exploration Results, Mineral Resources and Ore Reserves’. Mr Bonwick consents to the inclusion in the report of the matters based on his information in the form and context in which it appears.

The information in this summary presentation that relates to Mineral Resources or Ore Reserves is a compilation of previously published data for which Competent Persons consents were obtained. Their consents remain in place for subsequent releases by Independence Group NL of the same information in the same context, until the consent is withdrawn or replaced by a subsequent report and accompanying consent. The initial public releases to the ASX of Mineral Resources or Ore Reserves have been referenced on each slide in this summary presentation, in accordance with clause 5 of the 2004 edition of the ‘Australasian Code for Reporting of Exploration Results, Mineral Resources and Ore Reserves’. These references include the Competent Persons consent for each Mineral Resource or Ore Reserve.
