IRC retains ownership of metal values in the Julia Creek tenements held by Global Oil Shale plc (see ASXannouncement 29 May 2013);
Metallurgical Testwork on upgrading oil shale in progress.
* Note: All references to Conceptual Targets in this document are in accordance with the guidelines of the JORC Code (2004). As such the potential quality and grade of the ExplorationTargets outlined are conceptual in nature. There has been insufficient exploration to define a Mineral Resource and it is uncertain if further exploration will result in the determination of aMineral Resource. The Information in this document relating to an Exploration Target for the Richmond Oil Shale Project was first disclosed to the ASX on 29 May 2013 under the JORC Code2004. It has not been updated since to comply with the JORC 2012 Code on the basis that the information has not materially changed since last reported.
