7. Offer not made to Excluded Shareholders
IRG has decided that it is unreasonable to make the Offer to Shareholders who have a registered address in a country outside of Australia and New Zealand having regard to the number of Shareholders in such places, the number and value of the New Shares they would be offered and the substantial costs of complying with the legal and regulatory requirements in those jurisdictions.
This Offer Memorandum is, therefore, not being sent to those Shareholders ( Excluded Shareholders ). New Shares to which Excluded Shareholders would otherwise be entitled will form part of the Shortfall.
This Offer Memorandum and accompanying Entitlement and Acceptance Form do not constitute an offer for securities in any place in which, or to any person to whom, it would not be lawful to make such an offer.
Shareholders holding Shares on behalf of persons who are resident outside of Australia and New Zealand are responsible for ensuring that subscribing for the New Shares under the Offer does not breach regulations in the relevant overseas jurisdiction. Return of a duly completed Entitlement and Acceptance Form will constitute a representation that there has been no breach of such regulations.
Where the Offer Memorandum has been dispatched to Shareholders domiciled in a country outside Australia or New Zealand and where that country’s securities code or legislation prohibits or restricts in any way the making of the offer contemplated in this Offer Memorandum, the Offer Memorandum and accompanying Entitlement and Acceptance Form are provided for information purposes only.
8. Effect on share capital
The effect of the Offer on the capital structure of IRG will be as follows:
| Ordinary Shares | Number |
|---|---|
| Number on issue at 18 July 2012 | 504,249,664 |
| Maximum number to be issued under the Offer | 504,249,664 |
| Maximum number on issue following the Offer | 1,008,499,328 |
7
The figures in the table above are based on the undiluted share capital of IRG. At the date of this Offer Memorandum, there are 59,176,924 unlisted options, each exercisable at $0.02 per option, to subscribe for Shares on issue, all of which are currently exercisable. If any of these 59,176,924 options are exercised prior to the Record Date this will also impact the maximum number of New Shares to be issued under the Offer.
At the date of this Offer Memorandum, there are also 7,000,000 unlisted Equity Performance Rights on issue. They are held by John Richards (one of the Directors).
Subject to satisfaction of the vesting conditions attached to the Equity Performance Rights, the Company must issue one Share for no consideration following the exercise of them. The vesting conditions have not yet been satisfied and are not capable of being satisfied to prior to the Closing Date.
9. No rights trading
The Offer is non-renounceable. This means that your right to subscribe for New Shares under the Offer is not transferable. Any New Shares not taken up by Shareholders will be dealt with in accordance with Section 4 of this Offer Memorandum.
10. Taxation Implications
The Directors do not consider that it is appropriate to give Shareholders advice regarding the taxation consequences of applying for New Shares under this Offer Memorandum or the subsequent disposal of any New Shares. The Company, its advisers and officers, do not accept any responsibility or liability for any taxation consequences to Shareholders. Shareholders should, therefore, consult their own professional tax adviser in connection with the taxation implications of the New Shares offered under this Offer Memorandum.

-
(a) seek bids from institutions and other prospective investors for Shortfall Shares; and
-
(b) determine the issue price and allot the New Shares on the basis of those bids.
SECTION 5: RISK FACTORS
There are numerous risk factors involved with the Company's business. Some of the risks can be mitigated by the use of safeguards and appropriate systems and controls, but some are outside the control of the Company and cannot be mitigated. Accordingly, an investment in the Company carries no guarantee with respect to the payment of dividends, return of capital or price at which securities will trade.
Shareholders should consider the risk factors described below, together with information contained elsewhere in this Offer Memorandum, before deciding whether to apply for New Shares. Shareholders should consider that the investment in the Company is speculative and should consult their professional advisers before deciding whether to apply for New Shares.
The following is not intended to be an exhaustive list of the risk factors to which the Company is exposed.
12
1. Law, regulatory and policy risk
Changes in government legislation, regulation and policy in jurisdictions in which the Company operates may adversely affect the operations of the Company, future earnings of the Company, asset values held by the Company, the timing of revenues and the market value of Shares quoted on the ASX.
2. Economic Conditions
Economic conditions in Australia and globally, may affect the performance of the Company. Factors such as currency fluctuations, inflation, interest rates, supply and demand and industrial disruption may have an impact on operating costs and share market prices. The Company’s future possible revenue and the Share price can be affected by these factors all of which are beyond the control of the Company or its Directors. Neither the Company nor the Directors warrant the future performance of the Company or any return on an investment in the Company. In addition, the Company’s ability to raise additional capital, may be affected.
3. Drilling and Operating Risks
Drilling activities are subject to numerous risks, many of which are beyond the Company’s control. The Company’s operations may be curtailed, delayed or cancelled as a result of such risks. Hazard incident to the exploration and development of oil and gas properties such as unusual or unexpected formations, pressures, or other factors are inherent in drilling and operating wells and may be encountered by the Company.
Industry operating risks include the risk of fire, explosions, blow-outs, pipe failure, abnormally pressured formations and environmental hazards, the occurrence of any of which could result in substantial losses to the Company. Although the Company believes that it or the operator will carry adequate insurance with respect to its operations in accordance with industry practice, in certain circumstances the Company’s or the operator’s insurance may not cover or be adequate to cover the consequences of such events. In addition, the Company may be subject to liability for pollution, blow-outs or other hazards against which the Company or the operator does not insure or against which it may elect not to insure because of high premium costs or other reasons.
4. Exploration Risks
The Company’s exploration and evaluation of its exploration tenure, and such additional tenure as it may acquire, is subject to the usual risks associated with such exploration and may not result in the discovery of economically recoverable ore deposits. The Company’s existing exploration tenure is at an early stage of evaluation.
5. Ability to Exploit Successful Discoveries
It may not always be possible for the Company to participate in the exploitation of successful discoveries made in any areas in which the Company has an interest. Such exploitation will involve the need to obtain the necessary licences or clearances from the relevant authorities, which may require conditions to be satisfied and/or the exercise of discretions by such authorities. It may or may not be possible for such conditions to be satisfied. The infrastructure requirements around a successful discovery may also impact on the exploitation of a discovery. Further the decision to proceed to further exploitation may require the participation of other companies whose interests and objectives may not be the same as the Company. As described above, such further work may require the Company to meet or commit to financing obligations for which it may not have planned.
13
6. Market conditions
The market price of securities can fall as well as rise and may be subject to varied and unpredictable influences on the market for equities and in particular, resources stocks. Neither the Company nor the Directors warrant the future performance of the Company or any return on an investment in the Company.
7. Security Investments
Shareholders should be aware that there are risks associated with any securities investment. Securities listed on the stock market, and in particular securities of mining and exploration companies have experienced extreme price and volume fluctuations that have often been unrelated to the operating performances of such companies. These factors may materially affect the market price of the securities regardless of the Company’s performance.
Exploration in itself is a speculative endeavour, while mining operations can be hampered by force majeure circumstances and cost overruns for unforeseen events.
8. Reliance on Key Personnel and Employees
The Company’s prospects depend in part on the ability of its executive officers, senior management and key consultants to operate effectively, both independently and as a group.
9. Future Capital Requirements
The future capital requirements of the Company will depend on many factors, including the exploration for, and production of gold, silver and copper prospects. The Company believes that its available cash, cash flow from production, and the net proceeds of this Offer will be adequate to satisfy its anticipated current working capital and other requirements. Should the Company require additional funding, there can be no assurance that additional funding will be available on acceptable terms or at all.
Any additional equity financing may be dilutive to the Company’s existing Shareholders and any debt financing, if available, may involve restrictive covenants, which limit the Company’s operations and business strategy. The Company’s failure to raise capital if and when needed could delay or suspend the Company’s business strategy and could have a material adverse effect on the Company’s activities.
10. Title risk
Gold, copper and silver interests in Australia are governed by both Commonwealth and State legislation and are evidenced by the granting of permits. Each permit is for a specific term and carries with it annual expenditure and reporting commitments, as well as other conditions requiring compliance. Consequently, IRG could lose title to a permit if licence conditions are not met.
Permits have specific conditions to be met within a specified timeframe, if the permit conditions are not met within the specified timeframe, or an extension not given, then the permit might be revoked by the relevant Department.

SECTION 6: ADDITIONAL INFORMATION
