North Americaʼs Fastest Growing Diversified Mineral Royalty Company Forward-Looking Statements Some of the statements contained in this presentation are forward-looking statements, such as statements that describe IRC's goals and expectations and IRCʼs estimated revenues from its royalties, production levels and mine life. Since forward-looking statements are not statements of historical fact and address future events, conditions and expectations, they inherently involve unknown risks, uncertainties, assumptions and other factors well beyond IRCʼs ability to control or predict. Actual results and developments may differ materially from those contemplated by such forward-looking statements. Material factors that could cause actual revenues to differ materially from any such forward looking statements include metal price fluctuations; interpretation of royalty contract terms; operatorsʼ production changes; mine developers abilities to develop, build and operate the mines; the effects of weather, operating hazards, adverse geological conditions, global warming, work slowdowns or stoppages, availability of labour, materials and equipment, changes in governmental laws, regulations, economic conditions or political instability; currency exchange rates; uncertainties involved in interpreting drilling results and other tests; possible variations in ore grade and recovery rates; risks of delays, accidents, equipment breakdowns; the possibility of unanticipated costs or expenses related to mining, processing, mine closures; and IRC's ability to acquire additional royalty interests. Forward-looking statements are based on the beliefs, estimates and opinions of management at the date the statements are made. IRC does not undertake to update forward-looking statements if managementʼs beliefs, estimates or opinions or other circumstances should change. 2 Important Notices Resource Estimates - All “reserve” and “resource” estimates included in this presentation were prepared in accordance with the Canadian Institute of Mining and Metallurgy classification system or the Joint Ore Reserve Committee as outlined in National Instrument (NI) 43-101 of the Canadian Securities Administrators and the Canadian Institute of Mining and Metallurgy Classification System. These standards differ significantly from the requirements of the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC). In particular, “resources” are not the equivalent of “reserves” and the SEC does not normally permit the use of the term “resources” or of resource estimates in documents filed with the SEC. Accordingly, information included in the presentation may not be comparable to information disclosed by United States mining companies. IRC does not operate or explore but relies on others. Because it is not the operator, it must rely on decisions made by others, decisions on which it has little or no influence. It must also assume that public disclosure by its operators is accurate and true. Information contained herein is based on information made available by these operators. This presentation has been reviewed by a qualified person employed by SRK Consulting (U.S.) Inc, for the purposes of NI 43-101. See Company disclosure documents filed on SEDAR (www.SEDAR.com), including the Annual Information Form dated March 28, 2008, and the Companyʼs Annual Report on Form 40-F filed with the SEC (available at www.sec.gov <http://www.sec.gov> ). Trailing 12 monthsʼ (TTM) EBITDA, TTM adjusted EBITDA, TTM free cash flow per share, TTM EBITDA per share, EBITDA margins and EBITDA are non-GAAP financial measures. Such non-GAAP financial measures do not have any standardized meaning prescribed by Canadian GAAP and therefore may not be comparable to similar measures presented by other issuers. Management uses these measures internally. 3 Passive Foreign Investment Company PFIC NOTICE OF U. S. TAX INFORMATION FOR U. S.
