    Notice of Extraordinary General Meeting 2014 Page3

    Letter from the Chairman

    6 March 2014

    Dear Fellow Shareholder

    It is with mixed feelings that your board has convened this general meeting to approve the settlement of the

    various disputes in which Intrepid has been involved in relation to the Tujuh Bukit Project.

    On the one hand, it is disappointing that our efforts to deal with the critical challenges we faced in Indonesia

    were not as successful as we had hoped they would be. Our sole objective over the last two years has been to

    restore our rights and enable the Company to continue its participation in the development of the Tujuh Bukit

    Project. Unfortunately, a range of issues conspired to make that a very difficult objective to achieve.

    On the other hand, we have been able to negotiate a settlement which, if approved by our shareholders, will

    see the Company recover a substantial portion of the money we have invested in Indonesia and allow us to

    make a clean exit from all of the disputes in which we have been involved. For some time now, the Company

    has been evaluating investment opportunities in the gold and base metals sector, and this settlement will allow

    management to focus its time and attention exclusively on determining the best use for our significantly

    increased cash reserves.

    For the reasons outlined in this Notice of Meeting and Explanatory Statement, your Directors have unanimously

    concluded that the proposed settlement is in your best interests. The reasons for our decision are set out on

    the following pages of this Notice of Meeting and I urge you to consider them carefully.

    I am pleased to be able to report to you that since the announcement of the proposed settlement on

    19 February, your Directors have received positive feedback from a number of our major shareholders alongwith indications that they intend to vote in favour of the settlement.

    I urge you to read this document in full and to exercise your vote in FAVOUR of the

    resolution to be put to the general meeting on 9 April 2014.

    In particular, I draw your attention to the voting instructions on the following page.

    Should you be in any doubt about how to cast your vote or if you have any questions about any of the matters

    raised in this Notice of Meeting, please call the Intrepid Shareholder Information Line on 1300 481 262 or

    +61 3 9415 4256 for shareholders outside of Australia.

    We look forward to your continued support as we move to finally settle our Indonesian issues and position theCompany to consider a range of other options for creating value for our shareholders.

    Yours sincerely

    Ian McMaster AM

    EXPLANATORY STATEMENT

    OVERVIEW

    The Company is involved in a range of disputes in relation to

    its rights to the Tujuh Bukit project (section i) below

    provides shareholders with an overview of the disputes

    and the actions taken by or against the Company).

    On 19 February 2014, the Company announced that binding

    agreements had been signed to settle all disputes and sell all

    of the Companys rights in relation to Tujuh Bukit in return for

    receiving US$80 million (~A$90 million) in cash (sections ii)

    and iii) below summarise the key documents that have

    been entered into by the Company).

    Two key agreements have been signed:

    The first is a master settlement agreement which effects

    the settlement of all disputes relating to ownership of the

    project, in exchange for the issue of a convertible bond

    and an option to Intrepid (these securities are described

    in sections ii) and iii) below).

    passed, the Resolution needs the approval of a simple majority of

    votes cast by Shareholders entitled to vote on the Resolution.

    As required by the ASX Listing Rules, these agreements will

    only become finally binding if the Resolution the subject of

    this Notice of Meeting is passed by Intrepid shareholders

    (section v) explains why Shareholder approval is

    required).

    Your Directors unanimously believe that

    it is in the best interests of all shareholders

    for the disputes to be settled on the

    terms outlined in this Notice of Meeting.

    In forming their view, your Directors compared the benefit of

    receiving a cash payment of US$80 million with a range of

    highly subjective factors, including the following:

    the prospects of future success in some or all of the

    disputes relating to the Project, given the difficulties that

    the Company has encountered to date;

    the potentially lengthy time it would take to resolve all

    disputes and the substantial cost (in dollar terms and in

    terms of management time) of continuing to pursue legal

    remedies; and

    the impact on the Company of regulatory changes in

    Indonesia which have made the prospect of Intrepid (as a

    foreign company) undertaking the development of Tujuh

    Bukit more difficult, including:

    restrictions imposed on the export of raw and partially

    processed minerals; and

    regulations enacted by the Indonesian government

    in September 2013, which have the effect that the

    Company would be unable, even if it successfully

    recovers its rights to the Tujuh Bukit Project, to exercise

    a right to take more than a 49% interest in the company

    holding the Project licences.

    Your Directors unanimously concluded that the benefits of

    settling all disputes outweighed the potential benefits of

    continuing to pursue legal remedies (full details of the

    reasons why your Directors are recommending you votein favour of the Resolution are set out below in sections

    vi) to xi) below).

    The balance of this explanatory memorandum

    provides answers to the key questions that

    Shareholders need answered when considering

    how to vote on the Resolution.

    i) WHAT ARE THE DISPUTES?

    Prior to the introduction of the new Indonesian Mining Law of2009 (the Mining Law) and its subsequent implementing

    regulations, foreign ownership was not permitted in entities

    holding Indonesian mining tenements (kuasa pertambangan,

    or KPs). Consequently, the Company was not originally able

    to own any direct rights to the Tujuh Bukit Project tenements.

    The Tujuh Bukit IUPs (the form of mining licence which

    replaced the KPs under the new Mining Law of 2009) were

    held by PT Indo Multi Niaga (PT IMN), the Companys

    Indonesian joint venture partner.

    The Company and its wholly-owned subsidiary, Emperor

    Mines Pty Limited (Emperor), through a number of

    contractual arrangements with PT IMN, acquired an 80%economic interest in the Tujuh Bukit Project. Since the

    Company had no direct rights in the IUPs, it was reliant on

    the observance by PT IMN and its shareholders, Maya

    Miranda Ambarsari (Maya) and Andreas Reza Nazaruddin

    (Reza) of the contractual arrangements in place and of

    legislation and permitting requirements related to the

    tenements.

    Pursuant to the new Mining Law and prior to July 2012, the

    Company had been in the process of restructuring its joint

    venture arrangements with PT IMN such that PT IMN would

    be converted into a foreign capital investment company in

    which the Company, through a subsidiary, would ultimately

    have held a direct 80% interest and therefore a direct interest

    in the IUPs comprising the Tujuh Bukit Project.

    This restructuring process would have required certain

    governmental approvals, including recommendations or

    authorisations from the Bupati of Banyuwangi, BKPM

    (Indonesian Investment Co-ordinating Board) and ESDM

    (Ministry of Energy and Mineral Resources). While the

    commercial terms upon which the conversion to a direct

    equity interest were agreed to between the parties in June

    2011, negotiations to document those commercial terms were

    protracted and halted entirely in June 2012.

    The Company took the position that PT IMN was in breach of

    the agreements in place with the Company. PT IMN ceased

    communication with the Companys management in July

    2012 when the Company was evicted from the Tujuh Bukit

    site. In June 2012, the Company had become aware that new

    shareholders had been added to the register of PT IMN and

    that these new shareholders collectively held 80% of the

    expanded issued capital in PT IMN. In December 2012, the

    Company further became aware that the Tujuh Bukit IUPs

    had been transferred to another company, PT Bumi

    SuksesIndo (BSI), which was initially a subsidiary of PT

    IMN. According to public records, since the date of transfer

    of the IUPs, the shareholding in BSI has changed such that

    PT IMN is no longer a shareholder in that company.

    Notice of Extraordinary General Meeting 2014 Page7

    Furthermore, the Exploration IUP has been further transferred

    to PT Damai SuksesIndo (DSI).

    Given these developments, the Company pursued a range of

    legal and commercial avenues in an attempt to protect its

    rights in and entitlement to the Tujuh Bukit Project. These are

    summarised below:

    Criminal Complaints

    Initially, in October 2012, the Company made two

    complaints to the Indonesian Police. The first complaint

    related to an allegation of fraud and embezzlement of funds

    from Emperor by PT IMN and its associates. The second

    complaint related to an allegation of unlawful denial of

    access to the project site and unlawful retention ofintellectual property owned by Emperor.

    The investigation of the first complaint is ongoing, while the

    second complaint has been quashed by the Indonesian

    police.

    Singapore Arbitration Proceedings

    Emperor adopted the position that PT IMN and its

    shareholders were in material breach of the joint venture

    agreements in place with Emperor and the Company.

    Accordingly, Emperor commenced arbitration proceedings

    against PT IMN, Maya and Reza under the rules of the

    Singapore International Arbitration Centre in Singapore, topursue its entitlements to the Tujuh Bukit Project.

    Whilst proceedings have commenced, it would likely take

    up to two years for the arbitration to be concluded. In the

    event of Emperor being successful in obtaining an

    arbitration award, it would then be required to seek to

    enforce any award through the mechanisms of the

    Indonesian court system.

    Administrative Proceedings

    In December 2012, the Company became aware that the

    Tujuh Bukit IUPs had been transferred by PT IMN, to BSI

    (Transfer). BSI was a subsidiary of PT IMN at the time of

    the Transfer.

    The Company also became aware that PT IMN

    subsequently transferred all of its shares in BSI to other

    parties.

    Under Indonesian law, IUPs are not transferrable except for

    transfers to majority-held subsidiaries. Emperor therefore

    commenced proceedings against the Bupati of

    Banyuwangi, (the regional head of government) who

    effected the Transfer and approved the changes in

    shareholding, seeking to set aside the Transfer, in the State

    Administrative Court in Surabaya (Tribunal).

    The Tribunal of three judges was split in its decision, but a

    majority of two judges ruled against Emperor on procedural

    grounds of lack of standing. The dissenting judge accepted

    the Companys standing to institute proceedings and went

    on to examine the merits of the matter, concluding that the

    Bupati of Banyuwangi had acted contrary to Indonesian

    law in approving the transfer of the IUPs and subsequent

    corporate reorganisation of BSI.

    In the course of the Tribunal proceedings, it emerged that

    the Exploration IUP has been further transferred to DSI.

    The Company therefore instituted a separate action in the

    Tribunal in respect of that further transfer. The Tribunal in a

    unanimous decision, dismissed the second action on

    procedural grounds relating to lack of standing.

    The decisions of the Tribunal are not final and binding until

    all appeal rights have been exhausted. Emperor has lodged

    appeals against the judgments, to the State Administrative

    Appeals Tribunal.

    In addition to the above, the following is a summary of the

    proceedings that have been instituted against the Company

    by third parties in respect of the Tujuh Bukit Project:

    South Jakarta Proceedings

    In April 2008, IndoAust Mining Limited (IABVI) and Paul

    Michael Willis (Willis) entered into a Termination andSettlement Agreement with Reza and Maya, and a Deed of

    Termination and Release with Emperor, under which Willis

    and IABVI ceased to hold any direct or indirect interest in

    the Tujuh Bukit Project (IMN/Willis Termination and

    Settlement Agreements).

    In November 2012, proceedings were instituted by IABVI,

    IndoAust Mining Pty Limited (IAAUS) and Willis

    (Plaintiffs) in connection with the execution of the IMN/

    Willis Termination and Settlement Agreements, against the

    Company, Emperor, two Company executives (Intrepid

    Parties) and the Companys Indonesian joint venture

    partners, PT IMN, Reza and Maya (Defendants).

    On 11 November 2013, the South Jakarta District court

    (District Court) made an award in favour of the Plaintiffs

    in relation to the South Jakarta Proceedings, as follows:

    the Plaintiffs 70% economic interest in the Tujuh Bukit

    project was recognised, with the result that subsequent

    agreements entered into between PT IMN and Emperor,

    including the agreements establishing the Tujuh Bukit

    compensation for immaterial damages, in the amount of

    $A10 million, for intangible harm (the Plaintiffs had made

    a claim for $250 million); and

    the dismissal of the Defendants counterclaims.

    The Intrepid Parties appealed the decision to the Jakarta

    High Court, as important elements of the case for the

    Defendants appeared to have received limited

    consideration by the District Court in forming its

    conclusions about the matter. The decision of the District

    Court is not final and binding until the appeals process has

    been exhausted.

    ii) WHAT IS THE PROPOSAL TO SETTLETHE DISPUTES?

    Without an admission of liability and subject to approval by

    the Companys shareholders, the Plaintiffs, Defendants and

    other parties to the Tujuh Bukit ownership dispute, have

    entered into a series of documents which will settle all

    disputes relating to the Tujuh Bukit Project, including the

    disputes outlined in i) above.

    Two binding agreements and a range of ancillary documents

    which take effect on settlement have been signed.

    Master Settlement Deed

    The first document is the deed of settlement which has been

    signed by all of the parties involved in the ownership dispute,

    including Intrepids former Indonesian partners, PT IMN,

    Maya, Reza, IABVI, IAAUS and Willis, and the shareholders of

    the holding company of BSI and DSI (Master Settlement

    Deed). Under this deed, all parties have agreed to settle the

    disputes between them, including the Singapore Arbitration

    Proceedings and the South Jakarta Proceedings described

    above.

    Under the Master Settlement Deed, Emperor will exchange a

    US$70 million promissory note issued by IMN under the PT

    IMN Settlement and Termination Deed and its remaining

    rights in the Project for a bond which is mandatorily

    convertible into a 15% pre-IPO shareholding in PT Merdeka

    Serasi Jaya (MSJ), which is the current holding company

    for the companies holding the Tujuh Bukit mining tenements

    (Convertible Bond) on an IPO of that company. The

    controlling shareholders of MSJ have advised Intrepid that

    they intend to list MSJ, although the timing and jurisdiction of

    that listing have not been finalised. Under the Master

    Settlement Deed, Emperor would also be granted an option

    to subscribe for a further 7.5% of the expanded share capital

    of MSJ for US$37.5m at the time of the proposed IPO(Option).

    Settlement under the Master Settlement Agreement will

    occur within 24 hours of the passing by Intrepid shareholders

    of the Resolution. To ensure that settlement will occur, a

    number of other agreements and related documentation

    associated with the Master Settlement Deed have been

    signed and will take effect as and from the date of settlement

    (i.e. within 24 hours of the Resolution being passed). These

    other agreements and documents are being held by the

    Ashurst ( the Companys legal adviser) in escrow pending the

    passing of the Resolution and comprise:

    PT IMN Settlement and Termination Deed under

    this deed, all of the disputes between Emperor and the

    Company involving PT IMN, Maya, Reza and Tujuh Bukit

    Pte Ltd are settled and those parties release each otherfrom all claims. IMN will issue Emperor with a US$70

    million promissory note to settle Emperors claims,

    including its claims on account of monies expended by

    Emperor on the Project. Once settlement occurs under

    the Master Settlement Deed, the Singapore Arbitration

    Proceedings will be withdrawn.

    Willis Settlement and Termination Deed under

    this deed all of the disputes between Emperor and IABVI,

    IAAUS, Willis, PT IMN, Maya and Reza are settled and

    those parties release each other from all claims. Once

    settlement occurs under the Master Settlement Deed,

    the South Jakarta Proceedings referred to above will bediscontinued with no residual liability remaining for any of

    the parties to that litigation. Once settlement occurs the

    provision of $A13.7 million taken against the claim in the

    accounts of the Company will be reversed.

    Letters of discontinuation of the South Jakarta

    Proceedings, the Singapore Arbitration Proceedings and

    the Administrative Proceedings referred to above.

    Tujuh Bukit Pte. Transfer documents to allow for

    the transfer of shares of Maya and Reza in the Singapore

    company which was to be the Tujuh Bukit joint venture

    vehicle, to Emperor.

    An Escrow Agreement, pursuant to which Ashurst holds the

    documents referred to above, with instructions to release

    those documents to the relevant parties at settlement, has

    been entered into.

    The Master Settlement Deed and the other ancillary

    documentation described above comprise the Settlement

    Documents as that term is used in the Resolution.

    MSJ Securities Assignment Agreement

    An assignment agreement has also been signed, under whichIntrepid and Emperor have sold and assigned all of their

    rights under the Master Settlement Deed, including the right

    to receive the Convertible Bond and the Option, to Kendall

    Court Resource Investments Ltd (KCR) a company

    associated with the Singapore-based funds manager Kendall

    Court (Sale Agreement).

    The purchase price payable by KCR is US$80 million (~A$90

    million).

    KCRs obligation to pay Intrepid US$80 million under the Sale

    Agreement has been secured by:

    payment of a US$40 million cash deposit into an escrow

    account controlled by Intrepids lawyers (the Deposit);

    and

    the provision by DBS Bank in Singapore of a Standby

    Letter of Credit in favour of Emperor, for US$40 million

    (Standby Letter of Credit).

    These funding arrangements provided the Directors with the

    comfort they required regarding KCRs ability to complete the

    sale transaction.

    Settlement under the MSJ Securities Assignment Agreement

    will occur concurrently with settlement taking place under theMaster Settlement Deed. To ensure that settlement occurs

    concurrently, a number of other documents have been signed

    and will take effect as and from the date of settlement. These

    other agreements and documents are being held by Ashurst

    (the Companys legal adviser) in escrow, pending the passing

    of the Resolution and comprise:

    a transfer of the Convertible Bond and the Option from

    Emperor to KCR; and

    a Notice of Assignment from Emperor to KCR.

    An Escrow Agreement, pursuant to which Ashurst holds the

    Deposit, the Standby Letter of Credit and the documentsreferred to above, with instructions to release those

    documents to the relevant parties at settlement, has been

    entered into.

    The MSJ Securities Assignment Agreement and the other

    ancillary documentation described above comprise the

    Assignment Documents as that term is used in the

    Resolution.

    iii) WHAT ARE THE MATERIAL TERMS OF

    THE SETTLEMENT DOCUMENTS AND THEASSIGNMENT DOCUMENTS?

    Master Settlement Deed Key Terms

    parties involved in the ownership dispute, including Intrepid,

    Emperor and Tujuh Bukit Pte Ltd (together the Intrepid

    Parties) and Intrepids former Indonesian partners, PT IMN,

    Maya, Reza and Willis.

    Effect of Settlement occurring under the Master

    the discontinuance of proceedings, releases of further claims

    between the parties, confidentiality and non-disparagement

    Condition Precedent to Settlement

    The Master Settlement Deed is conditional upon approval ofthe shareholders of Intrepid being obtained at a general

    meeting (Condition Precedent).

    Intrepid is required to use its reasonable endeavours to

    ensure that the Condition Precedent is satisfied prior to the

    date which is 12 weeks after the signing of the Master

    Settlement Deed.

    Escrow

    The parties to the Master Settlement Deed have also entered

    into escrow arrangements, under which all of the documents

    required for Settlement to occur are held in escrow by

    Ashurst Australia as the Escrow Agent.

    Under the terms of the escrow arrangements, once the

    Chairman of the Intrepid EGM and another director provide a

    certificate to the Escrow Agent confirming that the Intrepid

    shareholders have approved the entry into the Master

    Settlement Deed, Settlement will occur and the Escrow

    Agent will be required to release all of the documents to the

    relevant parties.

    This will also be the trigger for the release of documents

    under a separate escrow arrangement entered into in relation

    to the MSJ Securities Assignment Agreement.

    MSJ Securities Assignment Agreement Key Terms

    Effect of Completion occurring under the

    Assignment Agreement

    Completion of the transactions contemplated under the

    Assignment Agreement will result in :

    assignment of Emperors rights (other than certain

    excluded rights) under the Master Settlement Deed,

    including its rights to the MSJ Securities (being the

    Convertible Note and the Option); and

    Emperor receiving the purchase price of US$80 million.

    Conditions Precedent

    The Assignment Agreement is also conditional upon Intrepid

    shareholder approval being obtained.

    Escrow

    The parties to the Assignment Agreement have entered into

    escrow arrangements, under which the parties have placed

    all of the documents required for completion under the MSJ

    Securities Assignment Agreement in escrow with Ashurst

    Australia as the Escrow Agent.

    Under the terms of the escrow arrangements, completion will

    be effected concurrently with completion under the Master

    Settlement Deed, at which time the Escrow Agent will be

    required to release all of the documents to the relevant

    parties. This will include releasing the purchase price to

    Emperor, which is required under the escrow arrangements

    to be held as follows:

    a cash deposit of US$40 million; and

    a Letter of Credit in the amount of $40 million which

    Intrepid will be able to draw down on once it is released

    from escrow.

    iv) WHY IS THE RESOLUTION APPROVING

    ENTRY INTO BOTH THE SETTLEMENTDOCUMENTS AND THE ASSIGNMENTDOCUMENTS?

    Negotiations in relation to a possible settlement have been

    ongoing for several months. In the final phase of negotiations

    regarding the Master Settlement Deed, a commercial

    impasse arose and Intrepid concluded that it was not

    prepared to proceed on the terms proposed unless Intrepid

    was able to concurrently sell its rights under the Master

    Settlement Deed for an acceptable cash sum.

    The Companys decision not to sign the Master Settlement

    Agreement without an ability to immediately sell its rights forcash was based on a range of factors including:

    a belief that the right to 15% of the pre-IPO shares in MSJ

    granted under the Convertible Bond was not sufficient,

    given the difficulty of assessing the likely value of that

    interest (see further comments on valuation in (iv) below);

    a belief that the face value of the bond should have been

    higher;

    the lack of certainty about the timing and place of listing

    for MSJ and the dilution that Intrepid would be exposed to

    as a consequence of any capital raising associated with

    the IPO;

    a concern about holding a minority contingent right in an

    unlisted Indonesian company controlled by parties with

    whom the Company has been in dispute; and

    concerns about various legal risks for Intrepid (particularly

    as a foreign company) identified by the Companys

    Indonesian counsel arising out of the Master Settlement

    Deed.

    Intrepids refusal to sign the Master Settlement Deed without

    a cash on-sale led to an effort to sell the rights Intrepid would

    obtain under the settlement. Kendall Court was introduced to

    Intrepid as a potential buyer and agreement for the on-sale

    was subsequently reached. Kendall Court is a well known

    investor in South East Asia.

    Notice of Extraordinary General Meeting 2014 Page11

    Given that the Company would not support entry into the

    Master Settlement Deed alone, one resolution is being put to

    Shareholders seeking approval to enter into BOTHthe

    Settlement Documents and the Assignment Documents.

    v) WHY IS THE PROPOSED SETTLEMENTSUBJECT TO SHAREHOLDER APPROVAL?

    Rule 11.2 of the ASX Listing Rules requires a company to

    seek the approval of its shareholders to any disposal of its

    main undertaking.

    For the purposes of the ASX Listing Rules, the main

    undertaking of the Company comprises its rights and

    entitlement to an interest in the Tujuh Bukit Project.

    As a result, Shareholder approval is required for the Company

    to enter into and complete the Settlement Documents and

    the Assignment Documents.

    vi) WHY DO YOUR DIRECTORS RECOMMENDTHAT YOU VOTE IN FAVOUR OF THESETTLEMENT AND ASSIGNMENT?

    Your Directors took account of a range of factors when

    considering whether the best interests of all shareholders

    would be served by settling the disputes on the terms

    proposed.

    In essence, your Directors compared the benefit of receiving

    a cash payment of US$80 million with the following:

    the prospects of future success in some or all of the

    disputes given the significant challenges which the

    Company has faced in trying to pursue its rights through

    the Indonesian legal system;

    the potentially lengthy time it would take to resolve all

    disputes and the substantial cost (in dollar terms and in

    terms of management time) of continuing to pursue legal

    remedies; and

    the impact on the Company of regulatory changes inIndonesia which have made the prospect of Intrepid (as a

    foreign company) undertaking the development of Tujuh

    Bukit more difficult, including:

    restrictions imposed on the export of raw and partially

    processed minerals; and

    regulations enacted by the Indonesian government

    in September 2013, the effect of which is that the

    Company would be unable, even if it successfully

    recovers its rights to the Tujuh Bukit Project, to exercise

    a right to take more than a 49% interest in the company

    holding the Project licences.

    Your Directors concluded that the benefits of settling all disputes

    outweighed the potential benefits of continuing pursue legal

    remedies.

    vii) HOW DID THE DIRECTORS DETERMINE

    THAT THE CASH PRICE OF US$80 MILLIONWAS FAIR?

    In considering whether it was in the best interests of Intrepid

    shareholders to settle all disputes on the terms finally

    negotiated, your Directors gave careful consideration to value

    issues associated with the rights conferred by the Convertible

    Bond and the Option, as one of the factors to consider when

    deciding whether the cash price of US$80 million was

    reasonable.

    Assessing the potential value of MSJ immediately prior to a

    future IPO is a difficult task given that the future value of MSJ

    is subject to a number of highly subjective and variable

    factors that makes a valuation at this time inherently difficult.

    Those factors include:

    the early stage of development of the Tujuh Bukit Project:

    the fact that only a preliminary economic assessment

    and initial engineering study of the stage one gold oxide

    project has been completed;

    the fact that no detailed valuation work is possible on the

    porphyry copper/gold project given that no economic

    assessments or engineering studies have yet been

    undertaken;

    the fact that the project is situated within a protected

    forest area, which gives rise to uncertainties regarding

    permitting;

    the fact that no detailed analysis has been undertaken

    of the effect of the recently-imposed restrictions on the

    export of raw and semi-processed minerals;

    the uncertainty around financing the development of both

    stages of the project;

    the fact that the timing for the listing remains uncertain

    and is not guaranteed;

    the fact that a decision has not yet been taken as to the

    exchange on which MSJ is to be listed;

    the fact that a range of issues which will drive investor

    interest have yet to be resolved (e.g. composition of the

    board of directors, senior management team, corporate

    governance arrangements, share capital structure,

    liquidity and free float etc); and

    the view of investors of Indonesian sovereign risk and

    regulatory framework at the time of listing.opso

    13/19

    www.intrepidmines.com

    Intrepid Mines LimitedABN 11 060 156 452Page12

    Despite these variables, the Directors considered a range of

    possible valuation metrics for MSJ, including:

    Trading and transaction comparables in the gold

    and copper sectors, noting that it is risky to rely on

    comparable companies within a peer group of mining

    exploration and development companies, given:

    differing stages and time to production of each

    companys projects;

    differing depths of ore bodies;

    varying ore quality and metallurgical factors;

    differing cash cost positions;

    widely varying project economics; and

    varying degrees of country risk.

    Enterprise value (EV) per Resource (ounce/tonne) and EV/

    Reserve comparisons, recognising that these are also

    potentially an unreliable value measure given the variety

    of factors that influence the economics of a particular

    deposit and, therefore, the value attributed to undeveloped

    copper and gold resources by the market.

    Price to net asset value comparisons,which are similarly

    an unreliable measure of value,given the net asset values

    for Tujuh Bukit are based on early stage studies, project

    assumptions (capex and opex) that have yet to be

    confirmed and a lack of reliable assumptions to assessdevelopment and financing risks.

    The Directors also considered whether it would be

    appropriate to seek an independent experts opinion on the

    merits of the proposed settlement. The Directors

    unanimously concluded that there was no reasonable basis

    to conclude that an independent expert could form a better

    view on the merits of the settlement than the Directors. This

    conclusion reflects the fact that the Directors and senior

    management of the Company:

    have an intimate knowledge of the long and complex

    history of the various disputes and are in the best positionto assess the merits of each element of each dispute; and

    are in the best position to assess the circumstances

    surrounding the negotiation of the proposed settlement

    and the prospects of future success in the disputes or a

    future settlement on better terms as compared to settling

    on the proposed terms.

    In addition, when considering the potential role of an

    independent expert, the Directors took into account:

    the inability of an expert to prepare a definitive valuation of

    the Tujuh Bukit project with a meaningful value range given

    the uncertainties and risks outlined above; and

    the fact that the Company no longer has access to the

    Tujuh Bukit site, key personnel or records which makes

    the preparation of a meaningful valuation even more

    challenging.

    After due consideration of all of these factors and after

    comparing the risks of continuing the disputes rather than

    accepting the finally negotiated settlement terms, the

    Directors unanimously concluded that the finally negotiated

    terms supported the unanimous view of the Directors that it

    was in the best interests of Intrepid shareholders to enter into

    the Settlement Documents and the Assignment Documents.

    viii) WHAT ARE THE IMPLICATIONS FOR THECOMPANY IF SHAREHOLDERS APPROVETHE SETTLEMENT AND ASSIGNMENT?

    The settlement as recommended, when combined with the

    existing cash reserves held by the Company, will result in a

    total cash holding in excess of A$160 million.

    The Company would have no debt or other liabilities and will

    have made a clean and complete exit from Indonesia and all

    of the disputes in which the Company was involved.

    The Company will then be in a position to consider a range of

    potential options for deploying its substantial cash reserves,ranging from investing those funds into a new mining project

    through to winding up the Company and distributing cash to

    Shareholders.

    The Company has commenced business development

    activities to seek new investment opportunities and this

    process will continue. In this regard, the Company is aware

    that ASX Guidance Notes state that the ASX will, in the

    absence of any other reason to suspend quotation, generally

    continue the quotation of the Companys securities for up to

    six months to allow the Company time to identify and make

    an announcement of its intention to acquire a suitable new

    investment or to allow it time to complete the formalitiesneeded to commence its winding up. Further, the ASX may

    exercise its discretion such that any potential new investment

    may require the approval of Shareholders, or may require the

    Company to re-comply with the conditions of admission to

    the official list of the ASX.

    These options will be considered by the Directors after

    settlement has occurred and after taking into account the

    views expressed between now and then by Intrepid

    shareholders.

    ix) WHAT ARE YOUR DIRECTORS

    RECOMMENDING?Taking into account the advantages and disadvantages set

    out above, the Directors unanimously recommend that

    Shareholders vote in favour of the Resolution, for the

    following reasons:

    the advantages of settling the disputes and entering

    into the Settlement Documents and the Assignment

    Documents outweigh the disadvantages; and

    the settlement of the disputes and the sale of the

    Companys interests in the Tujuh Bukit Project pursuant

    to the Settlement Documents and the Assignment

    Documents for US$80 million is in the best interests of the

    Company and its Shareholders.

    In considering the Directors recommendation, Shareholders

    should note that the Directors have a potential interest in the

    Settlement Deed by virtue of the releases being granted.

    x) WHAT ARE THE CHAIRMANSVOTING INTENTIONS?

    The Chairman of the Meeting intends to vote all undirected

    Proxies for the Resolution.

    xi) WHAT ARE THE IMPLICATIONS FOR THECOMPANY IF SHAREHOLDERS DO NOTAPPROVE THE SETTLEMENT ANDASSIGNMENT?

    The Company will pursue the various legal actions, but there

    is no guarantee of success and, in the opinion of the

    Directors, limited prospect of a future negotiated settlement

    on better terms.

    If the Resolution is not approved by Shareholders, among

    other things, this means the disputes will not be settled and

    the Company will continue to expend funds and management

    time in dealing with the litigation and associated issues.

    If the Settlement and Assignment is not approved, the ability

    for the Company to make a clean exit from the Tujuh Bukit

    Project and associated disputes, will be lost.

    and submit it to the Intermediary (or its service company)

    in accordance with the instructions of the Intermediary (or

    its service company).

    In either case, the purpose of this procedure is to permit

    Beneficial Shareholders to direct the voting of the ordinary

    shares they beneficially own.

    Beneficial Shareholders should carefully follow

    the instructions of their Intermediary including

    those regarding when and where the Proxy Form

    is to be submitted.

    EXERCISE OF DISCRETION BY PROXIES

    The persons appointed as Proxy may attend the Meeting andwill vote the shares or voting rights in respect of which they

    are appointed in accordance with the directions of the

    persons appointing them.

    The enclosed Proxy Form confers discretionary authority

    upon the persons named therein with respect to any

    amendment, variation or other matter to come before the

    Meeting other than the matters referred to in the Notice of

    Meeting.

    However, if any such amendments, variations, or other

    matters which are not now known to management, should

    properly come before the meeting, the ordinary shares andvoting rights represented by the Proxies hereby solicited will

    be voted in accordance with the best judgment of the person

    or persons voting such Proxies.

    Where the Chairman has been appointed as Proxy and there

    is no direction from Shareholders, all available Proxies

    shares will be voted for the Resolution.

    Please note that Shareholders who receive their Meeting

    materials from Broadridge Investor Communications

    Solutions (Broadridge) must return the proxy forms, once

    voted, to Broadridge for the proxy to be dealt with.

    ADVICE TO BENEFICIAL

    SHAREHOLDERS ON THE CANADIAN

    REGISTRY

    Only Shareholders with registered ordinary shares or the

    persons they appoint as their Proxies are permitted to vote at

    the Meeting.

    In many cases, ordinary shares that are beneficially owned by

    a person (Beneficial Shareholder) are registered either: in the name of an Intermediary that the Beneficial

    Shareholder deals with in respect of the ordinary shares;

    or

    in the name of a clearing agency (such as the Canadian

    Depository for Securities Limited (CDS) of which the

    Intermediary is a participant (Intermediary).

    The Company has distributed the Meeting Materials to

    Intermediaries for onward distribution to Beneficial

    Shareholders in accordance with the requirements of

    National Instrument 54-101. Intermediaries are required to

    forward the Meeting Materials to Beneficial Shareholders(unless a Beneficial Shareholder has waived the right to

    receive them). Very often, Intermediaries will use service

    companies to forward the Meeting Materials to Beneficial

    Shareholders. Generally Beneficial Shareholders, who have

    not waived the right to receive Meeting Materials, will either

    be given a form that:

    has already been signed by the Intermediary (typically by

    a facsimile stamped signature), and indicates the number

    and class of securities beneficially owned by the Beneficial

    Shareholder but the voting direction and other information

    has not been completed. This form does not need to

    be signed by the Beneficial Shareholder however, if theBeneficial Shareholder wishes to direct their vote, they

    should fill in the voting direction and submit it as specified;

    or
