Item 2.01. Completion of Acquisition or Disposition of Assets.

As previously announced, Royal Gold, Inc. ( “Royal Gold”) is party to that Amended and Restated Arrangement Agreement (the “Arrangement Agreement”), effective as of December 17, 2009, by and among Royal Gold, RG Exchangeco Inc. (formerly known as 7296355 Canada Ltd.), a wholly-owned Canadian subsidiary of Royal Gold (“Canco”), and International Royalty Corporation (“IRC”). On or about February 22, 2010 and pursuant to the Arrangement Agreement, Royal Gold expects to consummate a Plan of Arrangement (the “Plan of Arrangement”) whereby Royal Gold, through Canco, expects to acquire all of the issued and outstanding common shares of IRC (“IRC Common Shares”). On February 16, 2010, Royal Gold announced that IRC received shareholder and option holders’ approval of the Plan of Arrangement.

Under the Plan of Arrangement, each holder of IRC Common Shares (an “IRC Shareholder”) could elect to receive up to either C$7.45 in cash or 0.1385 common shares of Royal Gold (“Royal Gold Shares”) or shares of Canco that are exchangeable for Royal Gold Shares (“Exchangeable Shares”), or a combination thereof, subject to a maximum of US$350 million in cash and a maximum of 7.75 million Royal Gold Shares and Exchangeable Shares. An IRC Shareholder’s consideration election is subject to pro-ration if the aggregate number of Royal Gold Shares and Exchangeable Shares, or the aggregate amount of cash, as the case may be, elected by all IRC Shareholders exceeds either such maximum. As previously announced, if IRC Shareholders elected to receive more than approximately US$314 million in cash, the number of Royal Gold Shares and Exchangeable Shares issued pursuant to the Plan of Arrangement would be adjusted downward on a pro-rated basis until such cash election reaches a maximum of US$350 million. All of the foregoing would be subject to a further adjustment in the event that both the maximum cash consideration and the maximum share consideration would be exceeded as a result of elections by IRC Shareholders.

IRC has received aggregate shareholder elections that exceed the maximum cash consideration of US$350 million. As a result, shareholders who have elected some or all of their consideration in cash will be subject to the pro-ration provisions of the Plan of Arrangement, as described above. The precise amount of pro-rated cash and share consideration will be determined based on the noon spot exchange rate for U.S dollars expressed in Canadian dollars as reported by the Bank of Canada on the business day before the transaction is completed.

Royal Gold intends to finance the cash consideration payable under the Plan of Arrangement from its and IRC’s cash on hand, and a $100 million term loan and a $125 million revolving credit facility, each with HSBC Bank USA, National Association.

The purpose of this Current Report on Form 8-K is to provide the historical financial statements of IRC and pro forma financial information giving effect to the Plan of Arrangement consistent with IRC’s shareholders having elected cash consideration in excess of the maximum cash consideration of US$350 million, as described above.

If the Plan of Arrangement is consummated, Royal Gold expects to file an amendment to this Current Report on Form 8-K to provide additional information required to be disclosed on Form 8-K in respect of the Plan of Arrangement and the transactions contemplated by the Arrangement Agreement.

Cautionary “Safe Harbor” Statement Under the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995: With the exception of historical matters, the matters discussed in this Current Report on Form 8-K are forward-looking statements that involve risks and uncertainties that could cause actual results to differ materially from such statements. Such forward-looking statements include: statements regarding Royal Gold’s expectations that it will consummate the Plan of Arrangement and the anticipated timing thereof. Factors that could cause actual results to differ materially from these those implied or expressed by these statements include, among others, a failure to receive a Final Order approving the Plan of Arrangement from the Ontario Superior Court of Justice, failure of any party to the Arrangement Agreement to satisfy the conditions precedent to the closing of the Plan of Arrangement, Royal Gold’s or IRC’s exercise of rights to terminate the Arrangement Agreement, the amount of cash on hand available to Royal Gold and IRC, as well as other factors described in IRC’s Management Proxy Circular, dated January 15, 2010 that is filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission. Many of these factors are beyond Royal Gold’s ability to predict or control. Royal Gold disclaims any obligation to update any forward-looking statement made herein. Readers are cautioned not to put undue reliance on these forward-looking statements.

MANAGEMENT’S RESPONSIBILITY FOR FINANCIAL REPORTING — CANADA

Management is responsible for the preparation and fair presentation of the consolidated financial statements and other financial information relating to International Royalty Corporation (the “Company” or “IRC”) included in this annual report. The consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles in Canada and necessarily include amounts based on estimates and judgments of management. In this regard, management has developed and maintains a system of accounting and reporting which provides for the necessary internal controls to ensure that transactions are authorized, assets are safeguarded and proper records are maintained.

PricewaterhouseCoopers LLP, our independent auditors, are engaged to express a professional opinion on the consolidated financial statements. Their examination is conducted in accordance with generally accepted Canadian auditing standards and includes tests and other procedures which allow the auditors to report whether the consolidated financial statements prepared by management are presented fairly, in all material respects, in accordance with generally accepted Canadian accounting principles.

The Board of Directors is responsible for ensuring that management fulfils its responsibilities for financial reporting and for reviewing and approving the consolidated financial statements. In furtherance of the foregoing, the Board has appointed an Audit Committee composed of three directors not involved in the daily operations of the Company.

The Audit Committee meets with the independent auditors to discuss the results of their audit and their audit report prior to submitting the consolidated financial statements and annual report to the Board of Directors for its consideration and approval for issuance to shareholders. On the recommendation of the Audit Committee, the Board of Directors has approved the Company’s consolidated financial statements.

MANAGEMENT’S REPORT ON INTERNAL CONTROL OVER FINANCIAL REPORTING

The management of International Royalty Corporation is responsible for establishing and maintaining adequate internal control over financial reporting. The Securities and Exchange Act of 1934 in Rule 13a-15(f ) and 15d-15(f ) defines this as a process designed by, or under the supervision of, the Company’s principal executive and principal financial officers and effected by the Company’s Board of Directors, management and other personnel, to provide reasonable assurance regarding the reliability of financial reporting and the preparation of financial statements for external purposes in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles, and includes those policies and procedures that:

•		Pertain to the maintenance of records that, in reasonable detail, accurately and fairly reflect the transaction and dispositions of the assets of the Company;

•		Provide reasonable assurance that transactions are recorded as necessary to permit preparation of financial statements in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles, and that receipts and expenditures of the Company are being made only in accordance with authorizations of management and directors of the Company; and

•		Provide reasonable assurance regarding prevention or timely detection of unauthorized acquisitions, use or disposition of the Company’s assets that may have a material effect on the consolidated financial statements.

Because of its inherent limitations, internal control over financial reporting may not prevent or detect misstatements. Projections of any evaluation of effectiveness to future periods are subject to risk that controls may become inadequate because of changes in conditions, or that the degree of compliance with the policies or procedures may deteriorate.

Management assessed the effectiveness of the Company’s internal control over financial reporting as of December 31, 2008. In making this assessment, the Company’s management used the criteria set forth by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission (COSO) in Internal Control-Integrated Framework.

Based upon our assessment and those criteria, management concluded that the Company’s internal control over financial reporting was effective as of December 31, 2008.

The effectiveness of the Company’s internal control over financial reporting as of December 31, 2008 has been audited by PricewaterhouseCoopers LLP, our independent auditors, as stated in their report which appears herein.

Independent Auditors’ Report

To the Shareholders of International Royalty Corporation

We have completed integrated audits of International Royalty Corporation’s 2008 and 2007 consolidated financial statements and of its internal control over financial reporting as at December 31, 2008 and an audit of its 2006 consolidated financial statements. Our opinions, based on our audits, are presented below.

Consolidated Financial statements

We have audited the accompanying consolidated balance sheets of International Royalty Corporation as at December 31, 2008 and December 31, 2007, and the related consolidated statements of operations and comprehensive income, shareholder’s equity and cash flows for each of the years in the three year period ended December 31, 2008. These financial statements are the responsibility of the Company’s management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial statements based on our audits.

We conducted our 2008 and 2007 audits of the Company’s financial statements in accordance with Canadian generally accepted auditing standards and the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States). We conducted our 2006 audit in accordance with Canadian generally accepted auditing standards. Those standards require that we plan and perform an audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material misstatement. An audit of financial statements includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements. A financial statement audit also includes assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, and evaluating the overall financial statement presentation. We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.

In our opinion, the consolidated financial statements referred to above present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of the Company as at December 31, 2008 and December 31, 2007 and the results of its operations and its cash flows for each of the years in the three year period ended December 31, 2008 in accordance with Canadian generally accepted accounting principles.

Internal control over financial reporting

We have also audited International Royalty Corporation’s internal control over financial reporting as at December 31, 2008, based on criteria established in Internal Control — Integrated Framework issued by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission (COSO). The Company’s management is responsible for maintaining effective internal control over financial reporting and for its assessment of the effectiveness of internal control over financial reporting, included in the accompanying Management’s Report on Internal Control Over Financial Reporting. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on the Company’s internal control over financial reporting based on our audit.

We conducted our audit of internal control over financial reporting in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States). Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether effective internal control over financial reporting was maintained in all material respects. An audit of internal control over financial reporting includes obtaining an understanding of internal control over financial reporting, assessing the risk that a material weakness exists, testing and evaluating the design and operating effectiveness of internal control based on the assessed risk, and performing such other procedures as we consider necessary in the circumstances. We believe that our audit provides a reasonable basis for our opinion.

A company’s internal control over financial reporting is a process designed to provide reasonable assurance regarding the reliability of financial reporting and the preparation of financial statements for external purposes in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles. A company’s internal control over financial reporting includes those policies and procedures that (i) pertain to the maintenance of records that, in reasonable detail, accurately and fairly reflect the transactions and dispositions of the assets of the company; (ii) provide reasonable assurance that transactions are recorded as necessary to permit preparation of financial statements in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles, and that receipts and expenditures of the company are being made only in accordance with authorizations of management and directors of the company; and (iii) provide reasonable assurance regarding prevention or timely detection of unauthorized acquisition, use, or disposition of the company’s assets that could have a material effect on the financial statements.

Because of its inherent limitations, internal control over financial reporting may not prevent or detect misstatements. Also, projections of any evaluation of effectiveness to future periods are subject to the risk that controls may become inadequate because of changes in conditions, or that the degree of compliance with the policies or procedures may deteriorate.

In our opinion, the Company maintained, in all material respects, effective internal control over financial reporting as at December 31, 2008 based on criteria established in Internal Control — Integrated Framework issued by the COSO.

International Royalty Corporation
Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements
December 31, 2008 and 2007

(expressed in U.S. dollars)
(figures in tables in thousands of dollars)

1		Nature of operations

		International Royalty Corporation (“IRC” or the “Company”) was incorporated under the laws of Yukon, Canada on May 7, 2003 and was continued under the Canada Business Corporations Act on November 12, 2004. It was formed for the purpose of acquiring and creating natural resource royalties with a specific emphasis on mineral royalties.

		During 2008 and 2007, approximately 91 and 95 percent, respectively, of the Company’s revenues were generated from the Voisey’s Bay Royalty (note 3). The Company is economically dependent upon the operator of the Voisey’s Bay property and the expected revenues therefrom.

2		Summary of significant accounting policies

		Basis of consolidation and presentation

		The consolidated financial statements include the accounts of IRC and all of its wholly-owned subsidiaries. The material subsidiaries include IRC (U.S.) Management Inc., Archean Resources Ltd. (“Archean”) and IRC Nevada Inc. All intercompany balances and transactions have been eliminated upon consolidation. The consolidated financial statements and notes thereto are prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in Canada and are expressed in United States dollars, unless otherwise noted. As described in note 12, accounting principles generally accepted in Canada differ in certain respects from accounting principles in the United States.

		Use of estimates

		The preparation of financial statements in conformity with Canadian generally accepted accounting principles requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities, and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements, and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. The Company’s most significant estimates include assessing the recoverability of the carrying value of royalty interests in mineral properties and investments, the calculation of the fair value of stock-based compensation and warrants and the calculation of future income taxes. Actual results could differ from those estimates by a material amount.

		Management’s estimate of mineral prices, operators’ estimates of proven and probable reserves related to royalty properties and operators’ estimates of operating, capital and reclamation costs, upon which the Company relies, are subject to significant risks and uncertainties. These estimates affect amortization of royalty interests in mineral properties and the assessment of the recoverability of the royalty interest in mineral properties. Although management has made its best assessment of these factors based upon current conditions, it is possible that changes could occur, which could materially affect the amounts contained in these consolidated financial statements.

(expressed in U.S. dollars)
(figures in tables in thousands of dollars)

		Cash and cash equivalents

		Cash and cash equivalents consist of cash on deposit and highly liquid money market securities and investment deposits, with maturity dates of less than three months at the time of acquisition and which are readily convertible into cash.

		Cash and cash equivalents are designated as “held for trading” and are measured at carrying value which approximates fair value due to the short-term nature of these instruments.

		Royalty interests

		Royalty interests include acquired royalty interests in production stage, development stage, feasibility stage, and exploration stage properties. The royalty interests are recorded at cost and capitalized as tangible assets, unless such interests are considered to be a financial asset or a derivative instrument.

		Acquisition costs of production stage royalty interests are amortized using the units of production method over the life of the mineral property, which is determined using available estimates of proven and probable reserves. Acquisition costs of royalty interests on development, feasibility and exploration stage mineral properties are not amortized. At such time as the associated mineral interests are placed into production, the cost basis is amortized using the units of production method over available estimates of proven and probable reserves. Amortization rates are adjusted on a prospective basis for all changes to estimates of proven and probably reserves.

		Furniture and equipment

		The Company initially records furniture and equipment at cost and provides for depreciation over their estimated useful lives ranging from three to seven years, using the straight-line method. Upon retirement or disposition of furniture and equipment, related gains or losses are recorded in operations.

		Investments

		Investments classified as available-for-sale are reported at fair market value (or marked to market) based on quoted market prices with unrealized gains or losses excluded from earnings and reported as other comprehensive income or loss. Investments in equities classified as available-for-sale that do not have a quoted market price in an active market are measured at cost. Investments classified as held-to-maturity are measured at amortized cost using the effective interest method. If a decline in fair value is determined to be other than temporary, an impairment is recognized and the related loss is charged to operations.

		Impairment of long-lived assets

		The Company evaluates long-lived assets for impairment when events or circumstances indicate that the related carrying amounts may not be recoverable. The recoverability of the carrying value of royalty interests in production and development stage mineral properties is evaluated based upon estimated future undiscounted net cash flows from each royalty interest property using available estimates of proven and probable reserves.

		The Company evaluates the recoverability of the carrying value of royalty interests in feasibility and exploration stage mineral properties in the event of significant decreases in the price of the underlying mineral, and whenever new information regarding the mineral property is obtained from the operator that could affect the future recoverability of the royalty interest, such as updated drilling results, operator decisions to cease further expenditures or the expiration of claims, licenses or permits. The recoverability is evaluated based upon estimated future undiscounted net cash flows from each royalty interest property using available public information on estimates of proven and probable reserves or other available information.

		Impairments in the carrying value of each royalty interest are measured and recorded to the extent that the carrying value in each royalty interest exceeds its estimated fair value, which is calculated using future discounted cash flows.

		Financial Instruments

		Effective January 1, 2008, the Company adopted CICA Section 3862, Financial Instruments — Disclosures and Section 3863 Financial Instruments — Presentation. Section 3862 requires an increased emphasis on disclosing the nature and the extent of risk arising from financial instruments and how the Company manages those risks (Note 16). Section 3863 established standards for presentation of financial instruments and non-financial derivatives. The adoption of these new standards has been incorporated into the Company’s financial presentation.

		Effective January 1, 2007, the Company adopted CICA Section 3855 — Financial Instruments - Recognition and Measurement. Section 3855 requires that all financial assets, except those classified as held to maturity, and derivative financial instruments, must be measured at fair value. All financial liabilities must be measured at fair value when they are classified as held for trading; otherwise, they are measured at amortized cost. Investments classified as available for sale are reported at fair market value (or marked to market) based on quoted market prices with unrealized gains or losses excluded from earnings and reported as other comprehensive income or loss.

		The adoption of Section 3855 had an impact on the January 1, 2007 balance sheet of the Company. Financing charges related to the Senior Secured Debentures (the “Debentures”) of $1,257,000 (net of amortization) at December 31, 2006 previously were reported as other assets on the balance sheet and were being amortized to interest expense using the effective interest rate method. Upon adoption of Section 3855, the Company’s new policy regarding these finance charges is to record these charges as a reduction of the carrying value of the Debentures, which are being accreted to their maturity value through charges to interest expense over the term of the Debentures based on the effective yield method. The adjustment was reported as a reduction of the opening balances in other assets and Senior Secured Debentures as of January 1, 2007.

		Financing charges

		Financing charges related to the issuance of the Senior Secured Debentures have been recorded as a reduction of the carrying value of the Senior Secured Debentures, which are being accreted to their maturity value through charges to interest expense over the term of the Debentures using the effective yield method (see below).

		Senior Secured Debentures

		Proceeds from the Unit Offering were allocated into debt and equity components based upon their respective fair market values. The carrying value of the Senior Secured Debentures is being accreted to their maturity value through charges to interest expense over the expected life of the Debentures based on the effective yield method.

		Derivative financial instruments

		Derivative instruments are utilized by the Company to manage market risk against the volatility in foreign exchange rates. The Company’s policy is not to utilize derivative instruments for speculative purposes. The Company may choose to designate derivative instruments as hedges. No hedge accounting has been applied by the Company to date.

		All derivative instruments are recorded on the balance sheet at fair value. Freestanding derivative instruments are classified as held-for-trading financial instruments. Gains and losses on these instruments are recorded in other expenses in the consolidated statements of earnings in the period they occur.

		Fair value of the derivatives is based on quoted market prices where available. The fair values of forward contracts are based on forward market prices. If a forward price is not available for a forward contract, a forward price is estimated using an existing forward price adjusted for quality or location.

		Stock options

		The Company determines the fair value of awards to employees using the Black-Scholes valuation model. The fair value of the stock options is recognized as compensation expense over the vesting period of the related option.

		Revenue

		Royalty revenue is recognized when management can estimate the payable production from mine operations, when the underlying price is determinable and when collection is reasonably assured pursuant to the terms of the royalty agreements.

		Royalty taxes

		Voisey’s Bay royalty revenues are subject to the Mining and Mineral Rights Tax Act of Newfoundland and Labrador of 20%, which is recognized at the time of revenue recognition. Since the Company is ultimately obligated to pay this tax, the revenues received are reported gross, before the Mineral Rights Tax.

		Translation of foreign currencies

		The United States dollar is the functional currency of IRC and its subsidiaries.

		Monetary assets and liabilities are translated at the exchange rate in effect at the balance sheet date and non-monetary assets and liabilities at the exchange rates in effect at the time of acquisition or issue. Revenues and expenses are translated at rates approximating exchange rates in effect at the time of the transactions. Exchange gains or losses arising on translation are included in income or loss for the year.

		Income taxes

		Income taxes are accounted for using the liability method. Temporary differences arising from the difference between the tax basis of an asset or liability and its carrying amount on the balance sheet are used to calculate future income tax liabilities or assets. Future income tax liabilities or assets are calculated using the tax rates anticipated to apply in the periods that the temporary differences are expected to reverse. Future income tax assets are evaluated and, if realization is not considered more likely than not, a valuation allowance is provided.

		Comprehensive Income

		The Company has adopted CICA Section 1530 — Comprehensive Income. Comprehensive income is the change in the Company’s net assets that results from transactions, events and circumstances from sources other than the Company’s shareholders and includes items that would not normally be included in net earnings such as unrealized gains or losses on available-for-sale investments, which are not included in net earnings until realized. If an unrealized loss has been determined to be other than temporary, the amount is reversed out of other comprehensive income and is included in earnings.

		Earnings per share

		Basic earnings per share is computed by dividing the net income or loss by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding during each period. Diluted earnings per share reflects the effect of all potentially dilutive common stock equivalents.

		Changes in accounting pronouncements

		Effective January 1, 2008, the Company adopted CICA Section 3862, Financial Instruments — Disclosures, Section 3863, Financial Instruments — Presentation, and Section 1535, Capital Disclosures. Section 3862 requires an increased emphasis on disclosing the nature and the extent of risk arising from financial instruments and how the Company manages those risks (Note 16). Section 3863 established standards for presentation of financial instruments and non-financial derivatives. Sections 3862 and 3863 replace Section 3861, Financial Instruments — Disclosures and Presentation. Section 1535 requires the Company to disclose information to enable users of its financial statements to evaluate the Company’s objectives, policies and processes for managing capital. The adoption of these new standards has been incorporated into the Company’s financial presentation.

		Effective January 1, 2008, the Company adopted CICA Section 1400 — General Standards of Financial Statement Presentation — The revision to this section provides additional guidance related to management’s assessment of the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern. This revision is effective as of January 1, 2008. The Company has completed an assessment and as a result has prepared its consolidated financial statements under the assumption that it will continue as a going concern.

		Future changes in accounting pronouncements

		The following new standards may affect the financial disclosures and results of operations of the Company for interim and annual periods beginning January 1, 2009, unless otherwise noted. The Company will adopt the requirements commencing in the interim period ended March 31, 2009:

		Section 3064 — Goodwill and Intangible Assets — This section was issued in February 2008 and replaced CICA 3062, “Goodwill and Intangible Assets,” and Section 3450, “Research and Development”. This new standard provides guidance on the recognition, measurement, presentation and disclosure of goodwill and intangible assets. This section is effective as of January 1, 2009. The Company does not expect that the adoption of this standard will have any impact on its financial statements.

		Section 1582 — Business Combinations, Section 1601 — Consolidations and Section 1602 — Non-controlling Interests — These sections were issued in January 2009 and are harmonized with International Financial Reporting Standards. Section 1582 specifies a number of changes, including: an expanded definition of a business combination, a requirement to measure all business acquisition at fair value, a requirement to measure non-controlling interests at fair value, and a requirement to recognize acquisition-related costs as expenses. Section 1601 establishes the standards for preparing consolidated financial statements. Section 1602 specifies that non-controlling interests be treated as a separate component of equity, not as a liability or other item outside of equity. These new standards are effective for 2011. Early adoption is permitted. The Company does not expect that the adoption of this standard will have any impact on its financial statements.

		International Financial Reporting Standards (“IFRS”) — On February 13, 2008, the Canadian Accounting Standards Board confirmed that publicly accountable entities will be required to prepare financial statements in accordance with IFRS for interim and annual financial statements for fiscal years beginning on or after January 1, 2011 with appropriate comparative data from the prior year. Under IFRS, there is significantly more disclosure required, specifically for quarterly reporting. Further, while IFRS uses a conceptual framework similar to Canadian GAAP, there are significant differences in accounting policies that will need to be address by management. The Company is currently in the process of developing a conversion implementation plan and is assessing the impacts of the conversion on its consolidated financial statements.

Royalty Acquisitions

Pinson Royalty Interests

On October 9, 2008, the Company acquired three additional royalties on the Pinson gold project in Nevada, United States. The Company paid $2.8 million in cash for a 16.842% share of the variable (0.5% to 5.0%) net smelter returns (“NSR”) Rayrock royalty and a 40% share of the Cordilleran 3.0% and 5.0% NSR royalties (“Cordex”). With this purchase, the Company owns 97.9% of the Rayrock royalty and 100% of the Cordex royalties.

Skyline Coal Royalty Interest

On September 11, 2008, the Company acquired an overriding royalty interest on the Skyline Coal Mine located in Utah, United States. The acquisition cost as of the June 1, 2008 effective date of the transaction was $2.6 million; royalty revenues received and receivable totaling $341,192 from June 1, 2008 through September 11, 2008 were treated as a reduction to the purchase price. The royalty acquired represents a 77.424% interest in the underlying 1.825% overriding royalty, providing an effective 1.413% royalty to the Company.

Atna Resources Royalty Interests

On September 4, 2008, the Company entered into a definitive purchase and sale agreement to acquire four mineral royalties from Atna Resources Ltd. (“Atna”) for $20.0 million in cash. The portfolio includes a NSR interest in all precious metals produced from the development-stage Wolverine massive sulphide project in the Yukon. The Wolverine royalty is a sliding-scale, NSR on all silver and gold production. The royalty rate is a step function based on the price of silver. At silver prices below $5.00 per ounce, there is no royalty payment; at silver prices between $5.00 and $7.50 per ounce, the rate is 3.778%; and at prices above $7.50 per ounce, the rate is 9.445%.

The portfolio also included 1) a 3.0% NSR royalty on the feasibility-stage McDonald-Keep Cool epithermal gold deposit in Montana, United States (the royalty applies to the exploration lands surrounding the current McDonald deposit as well as approximately two-thirds of the entire Keep Cool deposit); 2) a 0.4% NSR royalty on the exploration-stage Minera Hispaniola copper and gold project in the Dominican Republic; and 3) a 2.5% NSR royalty on the exploration-stage Mina Cancha precious metals project in Argentina.

This transaction closed in two parts. The acquisition of the Wolverine, McDonald and Minera Hispaniola royalties closed on September 4, 2008 and $19.9 million in cash was paid to Atna. The acquisition of the Mina Cancha royalty closed on October 9, 2008, upon resolution of an outstanding right of first refusal, and $100,000 in cash was paid to Atna.

Horizon and Belcourt Coal Royalty Interests

In April 2007, the Company agreed to acquire from private parties royalties on the Belcourt and Horizon metallurgical coal projects located in northeastern British Columbia. The Horizon interest was closed in April for cash of $1.5 million and represents a 0.5% gross royalty on coal sales revenue from the future Horizon Mine. The Belcourt piece of the acquisition closed in January 2008 for cash of $500,000. The Belcourt royalty

International Royalty Corporation
Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements

(expressed in U.S. dollars)
(figures in tables in thousands of dollars)

is a 0.103% interest in the revenues from the Belcourt property, which is a pre-feasibility stage metallurgical coal project. In addition, the Company has agreed to make an additional $0.8 million payment within 10 days of the announcement of a construction decision on the Belcourt property.

Rio Tinto Australian Royalty Interests

On December 21, 2007, the Company entered into a definitive purchase and sale agreement to acquire 16 mineral royalties from Rio Tinto PLC (“Rio Tinto”), including interests on the Las Cruces copper mine and the Avebury nickel mines, for $61.5 million in cash, plus a potential contingency payment. In addition to the royalties on the Las Cruces and Avebury projects, the acquisition included three feasibility-stage and 11 exploration-stage royalties.

This transaction closed in two parts. The acquisition of the eleven non-Australian royalties of the agreement closed on December 21, 2007. The acquisition of the five Australian royalties (Avebury, Bell Creek, Melba Flats, Merlin and Westmoreland) (the “Australian Royalties”) closed on June 16, 2008, upon receiving approval from the Australian Foreign Investment Review Board and upon resolution of outstanding rights of first refusal.

The Company paid the full acquisition cost of $61.5 million to Rio Tinto on December 21, 2007. The total cost allocated to the Australian Royalties of $17.1 million (including acquisition costs) was included in other assets as of December 31, 2007 and was transferred to royalty interests in mineral properties on June 16, 2008.

Additionally, if the Las Cruces deposit is shown to contain a suspected deep primary sulphide resource, the Company will make a contingency payment to Rio Tinto of $0.005 for each pound of identified recoverable copper in the sulphide reserve at the commencement of production.

Goldcorp Royalties

On December 13, 2007, the Company purchased four royalties from Goldcorp Inc. (“Goldcorp”) for US$4.0 million in cash. These four royalties include:

	•		An effective 0.28% to 2.79% NSR royalty on the Pinson gold project (“Pinson”) located in Nevada.

	•		A 0.63% NSR royalty that covers a portion of the Gold Hill Deposit located in Nevada.

	•		A 0.526% working interest in one well and a 2.612% working interest in two oil wells, located in Sheridan County, Montana.

	•		A 4.00% NSR royalty on Radius Gold’s Tambor gold property in Guatemala.

Pascua Royalty Interests

Over a series of transactions during 2007, IRC acquired a 32.1% interest in the Pascua royalty from a Chilean family. The Pascua royalty is a sliding-scale royalty on the Pascua-Lama gold project operated by Barrick Gold Corporation on the border of Chile and Argentina. The total cost of the acquisitions was $56.5 million in cash and transaction costs. In addition, IRC will make a one time payment of $4.0 million if gold prices exceed $550 per ounce for any six-month period within the first 36 months after commercial production and additional payments totalling $6.4 million if gold prices exceed $600 per ounce for any six-month period within the first 36 months after commercial production. The royalties are limited to the first 14 million ounces of gold produced from the Pascua project after which the royalties will revert to the sellers (except with respect to the royalty interest obtained in the first closing (a 7.65% interest, or 23.8% of the total royalty acquired) IRC will retain 50% of the royalty after the first 14 million ounces of gold are produced). IRC has an option, within 36 months of the commencement of commercial production, to acquire up to 50% of the interest obtained in the remaining closings that would otherwise revert to the original royalty sellers, for up to $6.4 million. IRC also retains a right of first refusal to acquire additional royalty interests in the event the owners decide to further reduce their ownership.

The Pascua royalties acquired apply to the gold and copper produced from the Pascua, the Chilean side of the Pascua-Lama project. IRC’s share of the royalty is a linear sliding-scale NSR royalty ranging from 0.4725% at a gold price of $300 per ounce or below to 3.15% at a gold price of $800 per ounce. The royalty remains at 3.15% at gold prices above $800 per ounce.

Pending Royalty Acquisitions

Fawcett

On December 7, 2004, the Company signed a letter agreement with David Fawcett (superseded by a royalty purchase agreement dated February 22, 2005) to acquire 20.3% of a 1.0% royalty interest on four coal licenses in British Columbia for total consideration of CA$312,500 in cash and CA$937,500 in Common Shares valued at the offering price of the IPO of CA$4.30. Pursuant to an agreement dated February 22, 2005, the cash and 218,023 Common Shares were placed in escrow pending receipt of executed royalty assignment agreements from the property owner, Western Canadian Coal Corp. (“Western”). The cash has been recorded as restricted cash as of December 31, 2008 and 2007, and will be transferred to royalty interests in mineral properties upon closing of the transaction. The value of the Common Shares has been included in other long-term assets at

International Royalty Corporation
Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements

(expressed in U.S. dollars)
(figures in tables in thousands of dollars)

December 31, 2008 and 2007, and will be transferred to royalty interests in mineral properties upon closing of the transaction. Should the transaction not close, the cash will revert back to the Company and the shares will be retired.

On March 21, 2005, Western filed a petition with the Supreme Court of British Columbia to have the underlying royalty sharing agreement set aside. On February 24, 2006, the Supreme Court of British Columbia upheld the underlying royalty sharing agreement between David Fawcett and Western. On March 24, 2006, Western filed a notice to appeal the decision. On October 23, 2006, Western announced that it was unilaterally discontinuing the appeal but would be taking the position that based on the circumstances in which the 1.0% royalty was entered into, that any payment on the 1.0% royalty over the sum of $500,000 would constitute the payment of interest in excess of 60% and would be illegal under Section 347 of the Criminal Code of Canada. Accordingly, Western indicated that it would make no payments on the 1.0% royalty over and above $500,000. If correct, this would restrict the payments on that portion of the royalty to be assigned by Fawcett to the Company to $101,500. Fawcett has commenced proceedings challenging this position and seeking a declaration that the 1.0% royalty is not subject to Section 347 of the Criminal Code. After several procedural efforts by Western to dismiss the action, an administrative hearing before the Supreme Court of British Columbia was conducted during September 2008. The parties are awaiting a decision by the Supreme Court Justice conducting the hearing.

Impairments and Measurement Uncertainty

During the year ended December 31, 2008, as a result of management’s assessment, the Company impaired royalties on five diamond exploration properties in Canada (Aviat Pipe Two, Dirty Shovel, Melville Regional, Quilliq and Fury Scarpa and Gem) totaling $813,000 due to the expiration of exploration permits at the end of statutory time limits.

The Company recorded a partial impairment of the Avebury nickel project in Western Australia of $6.1 million after evaluating a new reserve report provided by the operator indicating lower reserves and resources, the operator’s decision to suspend operations and put the mine on care and maintenance due to declining nickel prices and certain other financial indicators regarding the operator’s financial condition. The Company updated its calculation of the net present value of future cash flows based upon the new reserve report using a range of nickel prices from $3.50 per pound ($1.00 below the current nickel price at December 31, 2008) to $7.15 per pound (our assessment of analysts median long-term estimate for nickel prices). Considering a range of discounts rate from 6.0% to 10.0%, it was determined that the value of the investment in Avebury was $6.0 million. Significant changes in the underlying assumptions in management’s cash flow analysis could have a material impact on the Company.

During the year ended December 31, 2008, the Company recorded impairments of royalty interests in mineral properties totaling $6.9 million.

During the year ended December 31, 2007, the Company impaired royalties on five diamond exploration properties (Jubilee, Bear, Peregrine, Jewel and Repulse Bay) totaling $1,418,000 due to the operators’ actual or stated intent to drop these properties. The Company also recorded a partial impairment of the Yaloginda property in Western Australia of $724,000 after concluding that the payable ounces on the project were less than originally estimated.

As of December 31, 2008, the market price for nickel and copper in concentrates, the primary commodities generated from the Voisey’s Bay mine, the Company’s largest royalty interest, had decreased significantly from 2007. This decrease in realized nickel and copper prices prompted the Company to evaluate its investment in Voisey’s Bay. The Company updated its calculation of the future cash flows using a variety of nickel prices ranging from $3.50 per pound ($1.00 below the current nickel price at December 31, 2008) to $7.15 per pound (our assessment of analysts median long-term estimate for nickel prices). The Company’s cash flow analysis considered public information on proven and probable reserves as well as resources relating to the Voisey’s Bay property. In all scenarios, the net present value of the future cash flows was greater than the net book value of the Company’s investment in Voisey’s Bay as of December 31, 2008.

As of December 31, 2008, the Company evaluated its investment in Meekatharra — Yaloginda due to the operator of the mine, Mercator Gold Plc (“Mercator”), being placed in voluntary administration during the fourth quarter of 2008. Mercator is currently operating under a Deed of Arrangement. The Company considered all public information available and has determined no impairment is necessary as of December 31, 2008.

Preferred Rocks of Genoa Holding Company, LLC (“Genoa”)

On February 22, 2007, the Company announced that it had entered into an agreement to acquire a royalty on the Legacy Sand Project (“Legacy”) in Nance County, Nebraska for $12.0 million in cash. The Royalty was styled as a production payment in its primary term, changing to a percentage of sales basis after 12 years. Legacy is a new operation which intends to produce a range of high-quality industrial sand products.

During 2007, the Company restructured its interest in Legacy, originally a fixed royalty of $4.75 per ton on the first 500,000 tons produced annually for a period of 12 years and a 2% gross royalty thereafter, as well as a security interest in the sand lease. On December 24, 2007, the Company and the Buyer completed the following restructuring of its interest in Legacy:

(expressed in U.S. dollars)
(figures in tables in thousands of dollars)

•

The Company received the following:

	•		$6.0 million in cash,

	•		a membership interest in Genoa paying a 10% preferred return on a deemed $8.0 million investment, including return of all capital before distribution of any cash to the Manager, and

	•		a residual net profits interest of 5.25% in the restructured Legacy project.

•

Any cash received on the deemed investment will be paid only to the extent of excess available funds.

•

The Company will not be required to contribute any additional capital to Genoa, such as for construction cost overruns, and will experience no dilution of its net profits interest.

The Company’s investment in Genoa has been classified as available-for-sale, and accordingly was initially recorded at its fair market value, which approximated cost. There is no quoted market price in an active market for the investment in Genoa, and accordingly, this investment was measured at cost.

As of December 31, 2008, the market price and demand for frac sand and other products had decreased significantly during 2008. This decrease prompted the Company to assess an impairment analysis on its investment in Legacy. Due to the lack of a quoted market price, the Company updated its calculation of the net present value of the future cash flows based on discussions with management of Genoa and using a variety of commodity prices (from $60.00 per tonne to $90.00 per tonne), production rates and discount rates (from 6.0% to 12.0%). In its cash flow model, the Company assumed that the projected production rates would allow Genoa to refinance its current debt to a lower interest rate upon maturity in 2012. In all scenarios, the net present value of the future cash flows was greater than the net book value of the Company’s investment in Genoa as of December 31, 2008. Changes in the underlying assumptions could be material to the Company.

New Horizon Uranium Corporation

In October 2005, the Company agreed to loan $200,000 to New Horizon Uranium Corporation (“NHU”), and since that time has provided financial and management services to NHU to assist NHU in the financing of its operations. In consideration for these services, NHU agreed to give the Company 2,150,000 shares of NHU in the event of a successful public listing of its shares, and to pay the Company a royalty of $0.75/lb on all future production of Uranium by NHU. On April 12, 2007, NHU completed a reverse take-over of Crossroads Exploration Inc., which is traded on the TSX Venture Exchange (now New Horizon Uranium Corporation). Upon completion of the reverse take-over, NHU issued the 2,150,000 shares and re-paid the loan to the Company. This transaction was recorded as a gain on the Company’s books in the second quarter of 2007 in the amount of the initial value of the shares of $849,000 as of April 12, 2007 and is included in other revenue in the consolidated statements of operations.

In November 2008, the Company elected to return 215,000 shares of NHU in exchange for no consideration. The fair market value of the shares were approximately $4,000 and has been included in as an impairment of investments in the consolidated statement of operations.

The investment in NHU has been classified as available-for-sale and accordingly was initially recorded at fair market value. From April 12, 2008 through December 31, 2008, the Company recorded the unrealized gain (loss) on the investment as other comprehensive income (loss), net of income taxes. On December 31, 2008,

(figures in tables in thousands of dollars)

the Company determined that the decline in fair market value of the investment in NHU was other than temporary and the accumulated other comprehensive loss of $833,000 was recognized as an impairment of investments in the consolidated statement of operations. Future changes to the fair market value of the Company’s investment in NHU will be recorded as other comprehensive income, net of taxes, unless the decline is determined to be other than temporary.

Advances to CFT Capital Limited (“CFT”) represent gross amounts of $2.1 million loaned to CFT, an unrelated third party, for a potential acquisition of McWatters Mining, Inc. (“McWatters”). Upon closing of the transaction, these advances are repayable over five years with interest at 1.0%. The Company has determined costs relating the McWatters transaction are direct and incremental in nature. The Company has established the fair value of the advances and determined the difference between the net present value of advances and the gross amount as a deferred cost relating to McWatters.

During the year ended December 31, 2008, the Company determined collection of the note receivable from South American Metals was uncertain and elected to provide for impairment of its investment of $839,000.

Revolving Credit Facility

The Company entered into a credit agreement dated January 8, 2007 with The Bank of Nova Scotia establishing a revolving credit facility (the “Revolving Facility”) in favour of the Company in the amount of up to $20 million. This amount was increased to $40 million on May 17, 2007. The Revolving Facility is used to provide funds for general corporate purposes, including acquisitions of royalties on mining properties.

International Royalty Corporation
Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements

(expressed in U.S. dollars)
(figures in tables in thousands of dollars)

The Revolving Facility is a two-year revolving loan which is available in multiple currencies through prime rate, base rate and LIBOR advances and through bankers’ acceptances, priced at the applicable rate plus an applicable margin that ranges from 1% to 2%. The rate on the outstanding borrowings as of December 31, 2008 was 2.33%. The Company pays a standby fee of 1% per annum on the undrawn amount of the Revolving Facility.

During 2008, the Revolving Facility was extended for an additional year and matures January 8, 2010.

The Revolving Facility is subject to customary terms and conditions for borrowers of this nature, including limits on incurring additional indebtedness, granting liens or selling assets without the consent of the lenders. The Company is also required to maintain certain financial ratios as well as a minimum tangible net worth. Pursuant to the Revolving Facility, the Company granted a second charge over substantially all of its current and future assets. Archean and IRC Nevada Inc. guaranteed the indebtedness of the Company under the Revolving Facility. IRC Nevada Inc. provided a first charge over all of its assets pursuant to a general security agreement and Archean provided a second charge over all of its assets (except for its equity interest in Voisey’s Bay Holding Corporation which was not pledged) pursuant to a general security agreement.

Senior Secured Debentures

On February 22, 2005, the Company completed a Unit Offering for gross proceeds of CA$30 million. The Unit Offering consisted of CA$30 million of 5.5% Senior Secured Debentures (the “Debentures”) due February 22, 2011 and 1,395,360 Common Shares. The obligations of the Company under the Debentures are collateralized by a general security agreement over all of the assets of the Company relating to the Voisey’s Bay Royalty.

Interest on the Debentures is payable semi-annually, on February 28 and August 31. Interest paid by the Company for the years ended December 31, 2008, 2007 and 2006 was approximately $1,616,000, $1,479,000 and $1,455,000, respectively.

The proceeds received from the Debentures were reduced by the fair value of the Common Shares issued of $4.9 million. Details of the balance are as follows:


	December 31, 2008						December 31, 2007
	CA$			US$			CA$			US$

The Company’s contractual obligation for future principal payments is one lump sum payment of $24,549,000 to be made on February 22, 2011. The obligation is denominated in CA$. The Debentures as of December 31, 2008 were converted to US$ equivalents using an exchange rate of CA$1.00 to US$0.8183, the exchange rate as of December 31, 2008. The Debentures as of December 31, 2007 were converted to US$ equivalents using an exchange rate of CA$1.00 to US$1.0194, the exchange rate as of December 31, 2007.

Foreign Currency Contract

On November 25, 2008, the Company entered into an agreement with a bank to fix the exchange rate to repay the principal balance of the Senior Secured Debentures at CA$1.00 to US$0.834725, based on the settlement of February 22, 2011. The fair value of the derivative as of December 31, 2008 is $493,000.

The foreign currency contract liability is a derivative and thus, has been classified as “held-for-trading” and was recorded at fair value on the date of acquisition and then marked-to-market at the balance sheet date. The change in fair value of the foreign currency contract liability has been recognized as an unrealized loss on fair market value of foreign currency contract on the consolidated statements of operations.

Income taxes

During 2007, the Canadian Federal government enacted legislation that lowers the Federal income tax rate from 19.0% (rate effective as of January 1, 2010) to 18.5% effective on January 1, 2011. On December 14, 2007, the Canadian Federal government enacted additional legislation that incrementally lowers the Federal income tax rate from the current rate of 21% to 15% on January 1, 2012. As a result of these changes, the Company has reflected its future tax liabilities at the new enacted rates, resulting in the realization of a future income tax recovery of $7,042,000 during the year ended December 31, 2007.

Effective April 1, 2006 the Province of Alberta lowered its provincial income tax rate from 11.5% to 10.0%. In addition, the Canadian Federal government also enacted legislation in June 2006 that eliminates the Federal surtax of 1.12% on January 1, 2008 and also incrementally lowers the Federal income tax rate from the current rate of 21% to 19% on January 1, 2010. As a result of these changes, and the Company’s permanent establishment in Alberta, the Company has reflected its future tax liabilities at the new enacted rates, resulting in the realization of a future income tax recovery of $9,707,000 during the year ended December 31, 2006.

On November 10, 2008, the Canadian Department of Finance released draft legislation amending section 261 of the Income Tax Act, which provides new tax calculating currency rules that taxpayers must use when determining their Canadian tax results. These new currency rules allow the Company to prepare its corporate tax return using US dollars instead of translating the annual activity into Canadian dollars. As of December 31, 2008, the draft legislation has not been finalized; however, the Company expects this legislation to be effective for its 2008 tax returns. Management is currently assessing the impact of this legislation on the Company.

The Canadian Department of Finance allows a tax loss to be carried forward for a period of seven years if it arose in a tax year ending before March 23, 2004; ten years if it arose in a tax year ending after March 22, 2004 and before 2006; and twenty years if it arose in a tax year ending after 2005.

The Company has recorded a future income tax liability as a component of the cost of the Archean acquisition (Voisey’s Bay Royalty) and the Hunter Portfolio to reflect the fact that the Company has no amortizable basis in these assets for Canadian income tax purposes. Recording of the future income tax liability has been offset by a corresponding recognition of tax benefits related to the Company’s tax net operating losses, and certain expenses of the IPO and the Unit Offering. Future tax (assets) liabilities include the following components:

Offerings

On February 12, 2007 (the “Closing Date”), the Company completed a unit offering of 8,334,000 units (“Units”) of the Company at a price of CA$5.40 per Unit. Each Unit was comprised of one Common Share and one-half of one common share purchase warrant of the Company (each whole warrant, a “Warrant”), with each Warrant entitling the holder thereof to acquire a further Common Share (each, a “Warrant Share”) at a price of CA$6.50 per Warrant Share for a period of nine months after the Closing Date and at CA$7.00 per Warrant Share from the date that is nine months after the Closing Date until the date that is 18 months after the Closing Date. The expiry date of the Warrants was subject to acceleration if the Common Shares have a closing price at or above CA$8.00 or CA$8.50 during the first or second nine-month period, respectively, for 20 consecutive trading days. Net proceeds to the Company, after agents’ commission and expenses of the offering was CA$42,118,000, or $35,659,000. The Company has allocated the net proceeds of the offering between the Common Shares and the Warrants based upon their relative fair values on the Closing Date. The fair value of the warrants were determined using the Black-Scholes Option Pricing Model, with an assumed risk free interest rate of 4.0% and expected price volatility of the Company’s Common Shares of 38%.

On November 5, 2007, the Company completed an offering of 10,400,000 common shares of the Company (including an underwriter over-allotment of 400,000 Common Shares) at a price of CA$6.30 per share. Net proceeds to the Company, after agent’s commissions and estimated expenses of the offering were CA$61,664,000, or $66,017,000.

Stock options

On June 8, 2004, the Board of Directors of the Company adopted a stock option plan (the “Plan”) pursuant to which the Company may grant incentive stock options to directors, officers, employees of and consultants to the Company and any affiliate of the Company, at the Board of Director’s discretion. The exercise price and vesting period of any option granted is fixed by the Board of Directors of the Company when such option is granted. The plan was updated and approved by the shareholders in May 2008.

All options are non-transferable. The term of the options is at the discretion of the Board of Directors, but may not exceed 10 years from the grant date. The options expire on the earlier of the expiry date or the date which is 90 days following the day on which the option holder ceases to be a director, officer, employee of or consultant to the Company and any affiliate of the Company. The options will be adjusted in the event of a share consolidation or subdivision or other similar change to the Company’s share capital. The aggregate number of Common Shares in respect of which options have been granted and remain outstanding under the Plan shall not at any time exceed 10% of the then issued and outstanding Common Shares, or exceed 5% of such amount to any one optionee.

During 2008, the Company received proceeds from the exercise of 3,500 stock options totalling $14,000. During 2007, the Company received proceeds from the exercise of 40,000 stock options totalling $162,000.

Option pricing models require the input of highly subjective assumptions including the expected price volatility. Changes in the subjective input assumptions can materially affect the fair value estimate, and therefore, the existing models do not necessarily provide a reliable measure of the fair value of the Company’s stock options.

Effective January 1, 2007, all financial instruments have been classified into one of five categories: held-for-trading assets or liabilities, held-to-maturity investments, loans and receivables, available-for-sale financial assets or other financial liabilities. Held-for-trading financial instruments are measured at fair value and all gains and losses are included in net income in the period in which they arise. Available-for-sale financial instruments are measured at fair value with revaluation gains and losses included in accumulated other comprehensive income until the instruments are derecognized or impaired. Loans and receivable, investments held-to-maturity and other financial liabilities are measured at amortized cost using the effective interest method.

The Company’s cash and cash equivalents and restricted cash are classified as held-for-trading, royalties receivable have been classified as loans and receivables and accounts payable and accrued liabilities have been classified as other financial liabilities.

The Company’s investment in Genoa has been classified as available-for-sale, and accordingly was initially recorded at its fair market value. There is no quoted market price in an active market for the investment in Genoa, and accordingly, this investment is measured at cost. The investment in New Horizon Uranium Corporation has been classified as available-for-sale and has been recorded at fair market value.

The Senior Secured Debentures and the Revolving Credit Facility have been classified as loans and receivables and have been recorded at amortized cost. The fair value of the Senior Secured Debentures as of December 31, 2008 and 2007 was approximately $22,400,000 and $28,400,000, respectively.

The foreign currency contract has been classified as held-for-trading and has been recorded at its fair value.

12 Reconciliation of Canadian and United States Generally Accepted Accounting Principles

Canadian generally accepted accounting principles (Canadian GAAP) varies in certain significant respects from the principles and practices generally accepted in the United States (US GAAP). As required by the United States Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”), the effect of these principal differences on the Company’s consolidated financial statements is quantified below and described in the accompanying notes.

Share purchase warrants

As disclosed under recent accounting pronouncements below, EITF 07-5 provides guidance of the U.S. GAAP accounting for the Company’s warrants. The Company had recorded a liability of $400,000 in 2007 relating to outstanding warrants, which reversed in the current year as the warrants expired unexercised.

(expressed in U.S. dollars)
(figures in tables in thousands of dollars)

The Company used the Black-Scholes Option Pricing Model to determine the fair value of the warrants with the following assumptions:


	December 31,
	2008		2007

Risk free interest rate		n/a		3.8	%
Expected dividend yield		n/a		.5	%
Expected price volatility of the Company’s Common Shares		n/a		44	%
Expected remaining life of the warrants		n/a	0.6 years

During 2008, all outstanding warrants expired unexercised.

The Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) has initiated a project to determine the accounting treatment for convertible debt with elements of foreign currency risk. This project is expected to provide further US GAAP guidance in respect of accounting for share purchase warrants.

b)		Recent accounting pronouncements

		U.S. GAAP Standards

		In June 2008, the FASB ratified EITF Issue No. 07-5, “Determining Whether an Instrument (or an Embedded Feature) Is Indexed to an Entity’s Own Stock” (EITF 07-5). EITF 07-5 provides that an entity should use a two step approach to evaluate whether an equity-linked financial instrument (or embedded feature) is indexed to its own stock, including evaluating the instrument’s contingent exercise and settlement provisions. It also clarifies on the impact of foreign currency denominated strike prices and market-based employee stock option valuation instruments on the evaluation. EITF 07-5 is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2008. The Company does expect the implementation of this standard to have a material impact on its consolidated financial position and results of operations.

		In May 2008, the FASB issued SFAS No. 162, “The Hierarchy of Generally Accepted Accounting Principles” (SFAS No. 162). SFAS No. 162 identifies the sources of accounting principles and the framework for selecting the principles used in the preparation of financial statements. SFAS No. 162 is effective 60 days following the SEC’s approval of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board amendments to AU Section 411, “The Meaning of Present Fairly in Conformity with Generally Accepted Accounting Principles”. The implementation of this statement did not have a material impact on our consolidated financial position and results of operations.

		In March 2008, the FASB issued Statement No. 161, “Disclosures about Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities — an amendment of FASB Statement No. 133” (“SFAS 161”). SFAS 161 intends to improve financial reporting about derivative instruments and hedging activities by requiring enhanced disclosures to enable investors to better understand their effects on an entity’s financial position, financial performance and cash flows. SFAS 161 also requires disclosure about an entity’s strategy and objectives for using derivatives, the fair values of derivative instruments and their related gains and losses. SFAS 161 is effective for fiscal years and interim periods beginning after November 15, 2008, and will be

(expressed in U.S. dollars)
(figures in tables in thousands of dollars)

applicable to the Company beginning on January 1, 2009. The Company does expect the adoption of this statement to have a material impact on its consolidated financial statements.

In December 2007, the FASB issued Statement No. 141 (revised 2007), “Business Combinations,” (“SFAS 141R”), which significantly changes the ways companies account for business combinations and will generally require more assets acquired and liabilities assumed to be measured at their acquisition date fair value. Under SFAS 141R, legal fees and other transaction-related costs are expensed as incurred and are no longer included in goodwill as a cost of acquiring the business. SFAS 141R also requires, among other things, acquirers to estimate the acquisition date fair value of any contingent consideration and to recognize any subsequent changes in the fair value of contingent consideration in earnings. In addition, restructuring costs the acquirer expected, but was not obligated to incur, will be recognized separately from the business acquisition. SFAS No. 141R is effective, on a prospective basis, for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2008. The Company does expect the adoption of this statement to have a material impact on its consolidated financial position and results of operations.

In December 2007, the FASB issued Statement No. 160, “Non-controlling Interests in Consolidated Financial Statements, an amendment of ARB No. 51” (“SFAS 160”). SFAS 160 requires all entities to report non-controlling interests in subsidiaries as a separate component of equity in the consolidated financial statements. SFAS 160 establishes a single method of accounting for changes in a parent’s ownership interest in a subsidiary that do not result in deconsolidation. Companies will no longer recognize a gain or loss on partial disposals of a subsidiary where control is retained. In addition, in partial acquisitions, where control is obtained, the acquiring company will recognize and measure at fair value 100 percent of the assets and liabilities, including goodwill, as if the entire target company had been acquired. SFAS No. 160 is effective, on a prospective basis, for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2008. However, presentation and disclosure requirements must be retrospectively applied to comparative financial statements. The Company does expect the adoption of this statement to have a material impact on its consolidated financial position and results of operations.

In September 2006, the FASB issued Statement No. 157, Fair Value Measurements (“FAS 157”). FAS 157 defines fair value, establishes a framework for measuring fair value and expands disclosures regarding fair value measurements. It is applicable whenever another standard requires or permits assets or liabilities to be measured at fair value, but it does not expand the use of fair value to any new circumstances. FAS 157 is effective for financial statements issued for fiscal years beginning after November 15, 2007. On February 12, 2008, the FASB Staff issued FASB Staff Position FAS 157-2 (“FAS 157-2”) which defers the effective date of FAS 157 for all nonfinancial assets and liabilities, except those that are recognized or disclosed at fair value in the financial statements on a recurring basis. FSP 157-2 defers the effective date of FAS 157 to fiscal years beginning after November 15, 2008, for items within the scope of FSP 157-2. The Company does expect the adoption of this statement to have a material impact on its consolidated financial position and results of operations.

15 Management of capital

The Company’s objectives when managing capital are to safeguard the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern in order to pursue the development of its royalty interests in mineral properties portfolio, and to maintain a flexible capital structure which optimizes the costs of capital at an acceptable risk.

In the management of capital, the Company includes the components of shareholders’ equity, Senior Secured Debentures, revolving credit facility and investments.

International Royalty Corporation
Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements
December 31, 2008 and 2007

(expressed in U.S. dollars)
(figures in tables in thousands of dollars)

Total capital as of December 31, 2008 is as follows:


Stockholders’ equity	$	297,280
Senior Secured Debentures		21,662
Revolving credit facility		3,000
Cash and cash equivalents		(3,444	)


		318,498

The Company manages the capital structure and makes adjustments to it in light of changes in economic conditions and the risk characteristics of the underlying assets. To maintain or adjust the capital structure, the Company may attempt to issue new shares, issue new debt, acquire or dispose of assets or adjust the amount of cash and cash equivalents.

In order to facilitate the management of its capital requirements, the Company prepares annual expenditure budgets that are updated as necessary depending on various factors, including successful capital deployment and general industry conditions. The annual budget is approved by the Board of Directors.

The Company’s investment policy is to invest its cash in highly liquid short-term interest-bearing investments with maturities 90 days or less from the original date of acquisition, selected with regards to the expected timing of expenditures from continuing operations.

The Company expects its current capital resources will be sufficient to carry its business development plans and operations through its current operating period.

The Company maintains a Revolving Credit Facility in order to provide additional liquidity. The Revolving Credit Facility is subject to customary terms and conditions for borrowers of this nature, including limits on incurring additional indebtedness, granting liens or selling assets without the consent of the lenders. Pursuant to the Revolving Credit Facility, the Company granted a second charge over substantially all of its current and future assets. Archean and IRC Nevada Inc. guaranteed the indebtedness of the Company under the Revolving Facility. IRC Nevada Inc. provided a first charge over all of its assets pursuant to a general security agreement and Archean provided a second charge over all of its assets (except for its equity interest in Voisey’s Bay Holding Corporation which was not pledged) pursuant to a general security agreement. The Company is also required to maintain certain financial ratios (such as gross debt ratio, interest coverage ratio, Debt to Voisey’s Bay revenue ratio and a Adjusted Indebtedness to Paid-Up Capital ratio) as well as a minimum tangible net worth. The Company was in compliance with all required financial ratios as of December 31, 2008 and 2007.

16 Management of financial risk

The Company is exposed to certain financial risks, including currency risk, credit risk, liquidity risk, interest risk and commodity price risk.

International Royalty Corporation
Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements
December 31, 2008 and 2007

(expressed in U.S. dollars)
(figures in tables in thousands of dollars)

Currency risk

The Company is exposed to the financial risk related to the fluctuation of foreign exchange rates. The Company owns royalty interests on mineral properties in various countries throughout the world and revenues and expenses are incurred in foreign currencies such as Canadian dollars, Australian dollars and Euros. A significant change in currency exchange rates could have a significant impact on the Company’s results of operations, financial position or cash flows. Bank accounts are maintained in the local currency of several countries in order to minimize the impact of exchange rate fluctuations. As of December 31, 2008, the Company has U.S dollar cash and cash equivalents in the United States, Canada and Australia of $2,887,000, $35,000 and $521,000, respectively.

The Company’s Senior Secured Debentures are denominated in Canadian dollars which exposes the Company to fluctuations in foreign currency rates. On November 25, 2008, the Company entered into an agreement with a bank to fix the exchange rate to repay the principal balance of the Senior Secured Debentures at CA$1.00 to US$0.834725. The Company has recorded the difference in the value of the Debentures at December 31, 2008 using the contract exchange rate at February 22, 2011 (the date of settlement) and the value of the Debentures at the December 31, 2008 forward rate totalling $493,000 as a derivative loss. The foreign currency contract liability is a derivative and thus, has been classified as “held-for-trading” and was recorded at fair value on the date of acquisition and then marked-to-market at the balance sheet date. The change in fair value of the foreign currency contract liability has been recognized as an unrealized loss on fair market value of foreign currency contract on the consolidated statements of operations.

On November 10, 2008, the Canadian Department of Finance released draft legislation amending section 261 of the Income Tax Act, which provides new tax calculating currency rules that taxpayers must use when determining their Canadian tax results. These new currency rules allow the Company to prepare its corporate tax return using US dollars instead of translating the annual activity into Canadian dollars. As of December 31, 2008, the draft legislation has not been finalized; however, the Company expects this legislation to be effective for its 2008 tax returns. If finalized, the Company will no longer need to complete the translation of its activity from US dollars to Canadian dollars.

Credit risk

Credit risk is the risk that a contracting party will not complete its obligations under a financial instrument and cause the Company to incur a financial loss.

The Company’s cash and cash equivalents are held through large financial institutions with no known liquidity problems.

The Company’s royalties receivable consist primarily of royalty payments due in accordance with contract agreements with large international mining companies. The Company continually monitors the public filings and websites in order to assess the financial position of the mining companies. In the current market and credit environment, management believes that all of its royalty payments are collectible.

Advances to CFT consist of amounts advanced to an unrelated third party in connection with the potential acquisition of all of a company. These advances will be repaid in five annual instalments with interest at 1.0% upon the closing of the transaction. If the transaction is not completed, the Company expects to receive

International Royalty Corporation
Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements
December 31, 2008 and 2007

(expressed in U.S. dollars)
(figures in tables in thousands of dollars)

repayment of the advances upon the sale of CFT for which offers have already been made. The Company believes the credit risk associated with the advances to CFT is low as these amounts will be realized upon completion of the McWatters acquisition.

Liquidity risk

Liquidity risk is the risk that the Company will not be able to meet its financial obligations as they become due. The Company manages liquidity risk through the management of its capital structure and financial leverage as outlined in Note 15 to the consolidated financial statements.

Accounts payable and accrued liabilities are due within the current operating period.

The Company’s Senior Secured Debentures are due in one lump sum payment on February 22, 2011.

The Company’s Revolving Credit Facility is due in monthly instalments of interest only with the principal balance due on January 8, 2010. The Company periodically borrows funds to take advantage of acquisition opportunities or to meet its operating cash flow needs. The Company intends to repay the principal balance as soon as the royalty receivables are collected.

The Company’s foreign currency contract is with a large financial institution with no known liquidity problems.

Interest rate risk

Interest rate risk is the risk that the fair value or future cash flows of a financial instrument will fluctuate because of changes in market interest rates.

The risk that the Company will realize a loss as a result of a decline in the fair value of the investments included in cash and cash equivalents is limited because these investments, although available for sale, are generally held to maturity.

Commodity price risk

The Company is exposed to price risk with respect to commodity prices. The Company closely monitors commodity prices to determine the appropriate course of action, if any, to be taken by the Company.

In the United States, reporting standards for auditors require the addition of an explanatory paragraph (following the opinion paragraph) when there is a change in accounting principles that has a material effect on the comparability of the Company’s financial statements, such as the change in accounting policy for financial instruments as described in note 2 to the consolidated financial statements. Our report to the shareholders dated March 10, 2008, is expressed in accordance with Canadian reporting standards which do not require a reference to such a change in accounting policy in the auditors’ report when its properly accounted for and adequately disclosed in the financial statements.

(figures in tables in thousands of dollars)

1		Nature of operations

		International Royalty Corporation (“IRC” or the “Company”) was incorporated under the laws of Yukon, Canada on May 7, 2003 and was continued under the Canada Business Corporations Act on November 12, 2004. It was formed for the purpose of acquiring and creating natural resource royalties with a specific emphasis on mineral royalties. Operating activities commenced on July 1, 2003.

		During 2007 and 2006, approximately 95 and 94 percent, respectively, of the Company’s revenues were generated from the Voisey’s Bay Royalty (note 3). The Company is economically dependent upon the operator of the Voisey’s Bay property and the expected revenues there from.

2		Summary of significant accounting policies

		Basis of consolidation and presentation

		The consolidated financial statements include the accounts of IRC and all of its wholly-owned subsidiaries. The material subsidiaries include IRC (U.S.) Management Inc., Archean Resources Ltd. (“Archean”) and IRC Nevada Inc. All intercompany balances and transactions have been eliminated upon consolidation. The consolidated financial statements and notes thereto are prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in Canada and are expressed in United States dollars, unless otherwise noted. As described in note 12, accounting principles generally accepted in Canada differ in certain respects from accounting principles in the United States.

		Use of estimates

		The preparation of financial statements in conformity with Canadian generally accepted accounting principles requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities, and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements, and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. The Company’s most significant estimates include the carrying value of royalty interests in mineral properties and the calculation of the fair value of stock-based compensation and warrants. Actual results could differ from those estimates by a material amount.

		Management’s estimate of mineral prices, operators’ estimates of proven and probable reserves related to royalty properties and operators’ estimates of operating, capital and reclamation costs upon which the Company relies, are subject to significant risks and uncertainties. These estimates affect amortization of royalty interests in mineral properties and the assessment of the recoverability of the royalty interest in mineral properties. Although management has made its best assessment of these factors based upon current conditions, it is possible that changes could occur, which could materially affect the amounts contained in these consolidated financial statements.

(figures in tables in thousands of dollars)

		Revenue

		Royalty revenue is recognized when management can estimate the payable production from mine operations, when the underlying price is determinable, when collection is reasonably assured and pursuant to the terms of the royalty agreements.

		Royalty taxes

		Voisey’s Bay royalty revenues are subject to the Mining and Mineral Rights Tax Act of Newfoundland and Labrador of 20%, which is recognized at the time of revenue recognition. Since the Company is ultimately obligated to pay this tax, the revenues received are reported gross, before the Mineral Rights Tax.

		Translation of foreign currencies

		The United States dollar is the functional currency of IRC and its subsidiaries.

		Monetary assets and liabilities are translated at the exchange rate in effect at the balance sheet date and non-monetary assets and liabilities at the exchange rates in effect at the time of acquisition or issue. Revenues and expenses are translated at rates approximating exchange rates in effect at the time of the transactions. Exchange gains or losses arising on translation are included in income or loss for the year.

		Income taxes

		Income taxes are accounted for using the liability method. Temporary differences arising from the difference between the tax basis of an asset or liability and its carrying amount on the balance sheet are used to calculate future income tax liabilities or assets. Future income tax liabilities or assets are calculated using the tax rates anticipated to apply in the periods that the temporary differences are expected to reverse. Future income tax assets are evaluated and, if realization is not considered more likely than not, a valuation allowance is provided.

		Earnings (loss) per share

		Basic earnings (loss) per share is computed by dividing the net income or loss by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding during each period. Diluted earnings (loss) per share reflects the effect of all potentially dilutive common stock equivalents.

		The effect of the outstanding warrants and stock options (note 9) are not included in the computation of diluted loss per share during 2005 as their inclusion would be anti-dilutive.

		Cash and cash equivalents

		Cash and cash equivalents consist of cash on deposit and highly liquid money market securities and investment deposits, with maturity dates of less than three months at the time of acquisition and which are readily convertible into cash.

		Cash and cash equivalents are designated as “held for trading” and are measured at carrying value which approximates fair value due to the short-term nature of these instruments.

(figures in tables in thousands of dollars)

		Royalty interests

		Royalty interests include acquired royalty interests in production stage, development stage, feasibility stage, and exploration stage properties. The royalty interests are recorded at cost and capitalized as tangible assets, unless such interests are considered to be a financial asset or a derivative instrument.

		Acquisition costs of production stage royalty interests are amortized using the units of production method over the life of the mineral property, which is determined using available estimates of proven and probable reserves. Acquisition costs of royalty interests on development, feasibility and exploration stage mineral properties are not amortized. At such time as the associated mineral interests are placed into production, the cost basis is amortized using the units of production method over available estimates of proven and probable reserves.

		Investments

		Investments classified as available-for-sale are reported at fair market value (or marked to market) based on quoted market prices with unrealized gains or losses excluded from earnings and reported as other comprehensive income or loss. Equity investments classified as available-for-sale that do not have a quoted market price in an active market are measured at cost. Investments classified as held-to-maturity are measured at amortized cost using the effective interest method.

		Furniture and equipment

		The Company initially records furniture and equipment at cost and provides for depreciation over their estimated useful lives ranging from three to seven years, using the straight-line method. Upon retirement or disposition of furniture and equipment, related gains or losses are recorded in operations.

		Impairment of long-lived assets

		The Company evaluates long-lived assets for impairment when events or circumstances indicate that the related carrying amounts may not be recoverable. The recoverability of the carrying value of royalty interests in production and development stage mineral properties is evaluated based upon estimated future undiscounted net cash flows from each royalty interest property using available estimates of proven and probable reserves.

		The Company evaluates the recoverability of the carrying value of royalty interests in feasibility and exploration stage mineral properties in the event of significant decreases in the price of the underlying mineral, and whenever new information regarding the mineral property is obtained from the operator that could affect the future recoverability of the royalty interest.

		Impairments in the carrying value of each royalty interest are measured and recorded to the extent that the carrying value in each royalty interest exceeds its estimated fair value, which is calculated using future discounted cash flows.

(figures in tables in thousands of dollars)

		Financing charges

		Financing charges related to the issuance of the Senior Secured Debentures have been recorded as a reduction of the carrying value of the Debentures, which are being accreted to their maturity value through charges to interest expense over the term of the Debentures using the effective yield method (see below).

		Senior Secured Debentures

		Proceeds from the Unit Offering (note 7) were allocated into debt and equity components based upon their respective fair market values. The carrying value of the Senior Secured Debentures is being accreted to their maturity value through charges to interest expense over the expected life of the Debentures based on the effective yield method.

		Stock options

		The Company determines the fair value of awards to employees using the Black-Scholes valuation model. The fair value of the stock options is recognized as compensation expense over the vesting period of the related option.

		Financial Instruments

		Effective January 1, 2007, the Company adopted CICA Section 3855 — Financial Instruments - Recognition and Measurement. Section 3855 requires that all financial assets, except those classified as held to maturity, and derivative financial instruments, must be measured at fair value. All financial liabilities must be measured at fair value when they are classified as held for trading; otherwise, they are measured at amortized cost. Investments classified as available for sale are reported at fair market value (or marked to market) based on quoted market prices with unrealized gains or losses excluded from earnings and reported as other comprehensive income or loss.

		The adoption of Section 3855 had an impact on the January 1, 2007 balance sheet of the Company. Financing charges related to the senior secured debentures (the “Debentures”) of $1,257,000 (net of amortization) at December 31, 2006 previously were reported as other assets on the balance sheet and were being amortized to interest expense using the effective interest rate method. Upon adoption of Section 3855, the Company’s new policy regarding these finance charges is to record these charges as a reduction of the carrying value of the Debentures, which are being accreted to their maturity value through charges to interest expense over the term of the Debentures based on the effective yield method. The adjustment was reported as a reduction of the opening balances in other assets and senior secured debentures as of January 1, 2007.

		Comprehensive Income

		The Company has adopted CICA Section 1530 — Comprehensive Income. Comprehensive income is the change in the Company’s net assets that results from transactions, events and circumstances from sources other than the Company’s shareholders and includes items that would not normally be included in net earnings such as unrealized gains or losses on available-for-sale investments, which are not included in net earnings (loss) until realized.

		Recent accounting pronouncements

		The following new standards may affect the financial disclosures and results of operations of the Company for interim and annual periods beginning January 1, 2008, unless otherwise noted. The Company will adopt the requirements commencing in the interim period ended March 31, 2008 and is considering the impact this will have on the Company’s financial statements.

		Section 1535 — Capital Disclosures — This Section establishes standards for disclosing information about an entity’s capital and how it is managed. Under this standard the Company will be required to disclose the following, based on the information provided internally to the entity’s key management personnel:

	(i)		qualitative information about its objectives, policies and processes for managing capital;

	(ii)		summary quantitative data about what it manages as capital;

	(iii)		whether during the period it complied with any externally imposed capital requirements to which it is subject; and

	(iv)		when the Company has not complied with such externally imposed capital requirements, the consequences of such non-compliance.

		Section 3064 — Goodwill and Intangible Assets — This section replaces CICA 3062 “Goodwill and Intangible Assets” and establishes revised standards for the recognition, measurement, presentation and disclosure of goodwill and intangible assets. The new standard also provides guidance for the treatment of preproduction and start-up costs and requires that these costs be expenses as incurred. This section is effective as of January 1, 2009.

		Section 3862 — Financial Instruments — Disclosures — This Section requires entities to provide disclosure of quantitative and qualitative information in their financial statements that enable users to evaluate (a) the significance of financial instruments for the entity’s financial position and performance; and (b) the nature and extent of risks arising from financial instruments to which the entity is exposed during the period and at the balance sheet date, and management’s objectives, policies and procedures for managing such risks. Entities will be required to disclose the measurement basis or bases used, and the criteria used to determine classification for different types of instruments.

		The Section requires specific disclosures to be made, including the criteria for:

	(i)		designating financial assets and liabilities as held for trading;

	(ii)		designating financial assets as available-for-sale; and

	(iii)		determining when impairment is recorded against the related financial asset or when an allowance account is used.

		Royalty Acquisitions

		Rio Tinto Royalty Interests

		On December 21, 2007, the Company entered into a definitive purchase and sale agreement to acquire 16 mineral royalties from Rio Tinto PLC (“Rio Tinto”), including interests on the near-producing Las Cruces copper and Avebury nickel mines, for $61.5 million in cash, plus a potential contingency payment. In addition to the royalties on the Las Cruces and Avebury projects, the acquisition includes three feasibility-stage and 11 exploration-stage royalties.

		This transaction is scheduled to close in two parts. The acquisition of the eleven non-Australian royalties of the agreement closed on December 21, 2007. The acquisition of the five Australian royalties (Avebury, Bell Creek, Melba Flats, Merlin and Westmoreland) (the “Australian Royalties”) will close upon receiving approval

		from the Australian Foreign Investment Review Board (see note 15) and upon resolution of outstanding rights of first refusal (see below). The Company paid the full acquisition cost of $61.5 million to Rio Tinto on December 21, 2007. The total cost allocated to the Australian Royalties of $17.1 million (including acquisition costs) are included in other assets as of December 31, 2007 and will be transferred to royalty interests in mineral properties upon closing. If for any reason the Australian Royalties do not close, Rio Tinto will return $16.5 million to IRC.

		Operators on two of the royalties (Bell Creek and Merlin) have first rights of refusal which are currently under consideration. The operator of Avebury and Melba Flats asserts that it is entitled to a right of first refusal on the royalties. The Company believes that this is not the case. Additionally, if the Las Cruces deposit is shown to contain a suspected deep primary sulphide resource, the Company will make a contingency payment to Rio Tinto of $0.005 for each pound of identified recoverable copper in the sulphide reserve at the commencement of production.

		A summary of all of the royalties (to be) acquired and the allocated acquisition costs of $61.710 million, including acquisition costs of $210,000, are listed in the table below:

		Pascua Royalty Interests

		Over a series of transactions during 2007, IRC acquired a 32.1% interest in the Pascua Royalty from a Chilean family. The Pascua Royalty is a sliding-scale royalty on the Pascua gold project in Chile operated by Barrick Gold Corporation. The total cost of the acquisitions was $56.5 million in cash and transaction costs. In addition, IRC will make a one time payment of $4.0 million if gold prices exceed $550 per ounce for any six-month period within the first 36 months after commercial production and additional payments totalling $6.4 million if gold prices exceed $600 per ounce for any six-month period within the first 36 months after commercial production. The royalties are limited to the first 14 million ounces of gold produced from the Pascua after which the royalties will revert to the sellers (except with respect to the royalty interest obtained in the first closing (a 7.65% interest, or 23.8% of the total royalty acquired) IRC will retain 50% of the royalty after the first 14 million ounces of gold are produced). IRC has an option, within 36 months of the commencement of commercial production, to acquire up to 50% of the interest obtained in the remaining closings that would otherwise revert to the original royalty sellers, for up to $6.4 million. The Company also retains a right of first refusal to acquire additional royalty interests in the event the owners decide to further reduce their ownership.

		The Pascua royalties acquired apply to the gold and copper produced from the Pascua, the Chilean side of the Pascua-Lama project. IRC’s share of the royalty is a linear sliding-scale NSR royalty ranging from 0.4725% at a gold price of $300 per ounce or below to 3.15% at a gold price of $800 per ounce. The royalty remains at 3.15% at gold prices above $800 per ounce.

		Horizon and Belcourt Coal Royalty Interests

		In April 2007, the Company agreed to acquire from private parties royalties on the Belcourt and Horizon metallurgical coal projects located in north eastern British Columbia. The Horizon interest was closed in April for $1.5 million and represents a 0.5% gross royalty on coal sales revenue from the future Horizon Mine. The Belcourt piece of the acquisition closed in January 2008 for $500,000. The Belcourt royalty is a .103% interest in the Belcourt property, which is a pre-feasibility stage metallurgical coal project. In addition, the Company has agreed to make an additional $.8 million payment within 10 days of the announcement of a construction decision on the Belcourt property.

		Western Australian Royalties

		On June 12, 2006 the Company acquired a Western Australian gold (“WAu”) royalty for $10.0 million in cash from Resource Capital Fund III L.P. (“RCF”), a mining focused private equity fund. The WAu royalty is a 1.5% net smelter return (“NSR”) and applies to more than 3.1 million acres (approximately 1,600 mining tenements) located in the Laverton, Leonora, Meekatharra, Murchison and Southern Cross-Marvel Loch districts of Western Australia. The acquisition was effective as of January 1, 2006. Royalties earned to June 12, 2006 of $622,000, were credited against the cost of the royalty. The transaction cost, including acquisition costs of $853,000 and less the royalty payments noted above, was allocated to the projects as follows:

		On December 7, 2004, the Company signed a letter agreement with David Fawcett (superseded by a royalty purchase agreement dated February 22, 2005) to acquire 20.3% of a 1.0% royalty interest on four coal licenses in British Columbia for total consideration of CA$312,500 in cash and CA$937,500 in Common Shares valued at the offering price of the IPO of CA$4.30. Pursuant to an agreement dated February 22, 2005, the cash and 218,023 Common Shares were placed in escrow pending receipt of executed royalty assignment agreements from the property owner, Western Canadian Coal Corp. (“Western”). The value of the Common Shares has been included in other long-term assets at December 31, 2007 and 2006 and will be transferred to royalty interests in mineral properties upon closing of the transaction. Should the transaction not close, the cash will revert back to the Company and the shares will be retired.

		On March 21, 2005, Western filed a petition with the Supreme Court of British Columbia to have the underlying royalty sharing agreement set aside. On February 24, 2006, the Supreme Court of British Columbia upheld the underlying royalty sharing agreement between David Fawcett and Western. On March 24, 2006, Western filed a notice to appeal the decision. On October 23, 2006, Western announced that it was unilaterally discontinuing the appeal but would be taking the position that based on the circumstances in which the 1.0% royalty was entered into, that any payment on the 1.0% royalty over the sum of $500,000 would constitute the payment of interest in excess of 60% and would be illegal under Section 347 of the Criminal Code of Canada. Accordingly, Western indicated that it would make no payments on the 1.0% royalty over and above $500,000. If correct, this would restrict the payments on that portion of the royalty to be assigned by Fawcett to the Company to $101,500. Fawcett has commenced proceedings challenging this position and seeking a declaration that the 1.0% royalty is not subject to Section 347 of the Criminal Code.

		Limpopo

		On May 15, 2007, the Company announced an agreement to acquire two platinum-palladium royalties in South Africa, subject to satisfactory due diligence and regulatory approvals. The agreement calls for consideration of $13.0 million in cash, and applies to two royalties on Lonmin Plc’s (“Lonmin”) Limpopo PGM project, located on the east limb of the Bushveld layered mafic intrusion complex, and comprising ores found in the Merensky and UG2 reefs.

		Closing on this acquisition has been delayed pending clarification of certain title and contract issues with respect to the underlying royalty agreements (see note 15).

		Impairments

		During the year ended December 31, 2007, the Company impaired royalties on five diamond exploration properties, Jubilee, Bear, Peregrine, Jewel and Repulse Bay totaling $1,418,000 due to the operators’ actual, or stated intent to drop these properties. The Company also recorded a partial impairment of the Yaloginda property in Western Australia of $724,000 after concluding that the payable ounces on the project were less than originally estimated.

		Preferred Rocks of Genoa Holding Company, LLC

		On February 22, 2007, the Company announced that it had entered into an agreement to acquire a royalty on the Legacy Sand Project (“Legacy”) in Nance County, Nebraska for $12.0 million in cash. The Royalty was styled as a production payment in its primary term, changing to a percentage of sales basis after 12 years. Legacy is a new operation which intends to produce a range of high-quality industrial sand products.

		The project began production in the second quarter of 2007, but has experienced problems in reaching targeted output levels. Reasons for the delays center on unforeseen technical issues related to the plant design and equipment. Resolution of these technical issues was stalled by on-going disputes between the former owners of Legacy. To resolve the dispute, the partners have sold all of their interests in Legacy to a privately-held purchaser (the “Buyer”). Under the terms of the sale, the Buyer will become the Manager of a new limited liability company, Preferred Rocks of Genoa Holding Company, LLC (“Genoa”), formed to finance, own and operate the Legacy project. A detailed plan has been formed to address existing technical issues and at the same time double the Legacy plant production capacity to 1,000,000 short tons per year of frac and other products.

		To enable the sale and new investment, the Company has restructured its interest in Legacy, originally a fixed royalty of $4.75 per ton on the first 500,000 tons produced annually for a period of 12 years and a 2% gross

(figures in tables in thousands of dollars)

royalty thereafter, as well as a security interest in the sand lease. Accordingly, on December 24, 2007, the Company and the Buyer completed the following restructuring of its interest in Legacy:

•

The Company received the following:

	•		$6.0 million in cash,

	•		a membership interest in Genoa paying a 10% preferred return on a deemed $8.0 million investment, including return of all capital before distribution of any cash to the Manager, and

	•		a residual net profits interest of 5.25% in the restructured Legacy project.

	•		Any cash received on the deemed investment will be paid only to the extent of excess available funds.

	•		The Company will not be required to contribute any additional capital to Genoa, such as for construction cost overruns, and will experience no dilution of its net profits interest.

		The Company’s investment in Genoa has been classified as available-for-sale, and accordingly was initially recorded at its fair market value, which approximated cost. There is no quoted market price in an active market for the investment in Genoa, and accordingly, this investment will be measured at cost.

		New Horizon Uranium Corporation

		In October 2005, the Company agreed to loan $200,000 to New Horizon Uranium Corporation (“NHU”), and since that time has provided financial and management services to NHU to assist NHU in the financing of its operations. In consideration for these services, NHU agreed to give the Company 2,150,000 shares of NHU in the event of a successful public listing of its shares, and to pay the Company a royalty of $0.75/lb on all future production of Uranium by NHU. On April 12, 2007, NHU completed a reverse take-over of Crossroads Exploration Inc., which is traded on the TSX Venture Exchange (now New Horizon Uranium Corporation). Upon completion of the reverse take-over, NHU issued the 2,150,000 shares and re-paid the loan to the Company. This transaction was recorded as a gain on the Company’s books in the second quarter of 2007 in the amount of the initial value of the shares of $849,000 as of April 12, 2007 and is included in other revenue in the consolidated statements of operations.

		The investment in NHU has been classified as available-for-sale and accordingly was initially recorded at fair market value. The unrealized gain on the investment of $173,000 (net of taxes of $30,000) has been recorded as comprehensive income during the year ended December 31, 2007. Future changes to the fair market value of the Company’s investment in NHU will be recorded as other comprehensive income, net of taxes.

6		Revolving Credit Facility

		The Company entered into a credit agreement dated January 8, 2007 with The Bank of Nova Scotia establishing a revolving credit facility (the “Revolving Facility”) in favour of the Company in the amount of up to $20 million. This amount was increased to $40 million on May 17, 2007. The Revolving Facility shall be used to provide funds for general corporate purposes, including acquisitions of royalties on mining properties.

		The Revolving Facility is a two-year revolving loan which is available in multiple currencies through prime rate, base rate and LIBOR advances and through bankers’ acceptance, priced at the applicable rate plus an applicable margin that ranges from 1% to 2%. The Company will pay a standby fee of 1% per annum on the undrawn amount of the Revolving Facility. The Revolving Facility is repayable in full on January 8, 2009.

		The Revolving Facility is subject to customary terms and conditions for borrowers of this nature, including limits on incurring additional indebtedness, granting liens or selling assets without the consent of the lenders.

		The Company is also required to maintain certain financial ratios as well as a minimum tangible net worth. Pursuant to the Revolving Facility, the Company granted a second charge over substantially all of its current and future assets. Archean and IRC Nevada Inc. guaranteed the indebtedness of the Company under the Revolving Facility. IRC Nevada Inc. provided a first charge over all of its assets pursuant to a general security agreement and Archean provided a second charge over all of its assets (except for its equity interest in Voisey’s Bay Holding Corporation which was not pledged) pursuant to a general security agreement.

7		Senior secured debentures

		On February 22, 2005, the Company completed a Unit Offering for gross proceeds of CA$30 million. The Unit Offering consisted of CA$30 million of 5.5% Senior Secured Debentures (the “Debentures”) due February 22, 2011 and 1,395,360 Common Shares. The obligations of the Company under the Debentures are collateralized by a general security agreement over all of the assets of the Company relating to the Voisey’s Bay Royalty.

		Interest on the Debentures is payable semi-annually, on February 28 and August 31, with the principal of CA$30 million due at maturity in 2011. Under the terms of the Debentures, the first three semi-annual interest payments were withheld and placed into an escrow account. These payments were made from this account on August 31, 2005, February 28, 2006 and August 31, 2006. Interest paid by the Company for the years ended December 31, 2007, 2006 and 2005 was approximately $1,459,000, $1,455,000 and $721,000, respectively.

		The proceeds received from the Debentures were reduced by the fair value of the Common Shares issued of $4.9 million. Details of the balance are as follows:


	December 31, 2007						December 31, 2006
	CA$			US$			CA$			US$

The Company’s contractual obligation for future principal payments is one lump sum payment of $30,582,000 to be made on February 22, 2011. The obligation is denominated in CA$. The Debentures as of December 31, 2007 were converted to US$ equivalents using an exchange rate of CA$1.00 to US$1.0194, the exchange rate as of December 31, 2007. The Debentures as of December 31, 2006 were converted to US$ equivalents using an exchange rate of CA$1.00 to US$.8581, the exchange rate as of December 31, 2006.

8		Income taxes

		During 2007, the Canadian Federal government enacted legislation that lowers the Federal income tax rate from 19.0% (rate effective as of January 1, 2010) to 18.5% effective on January 1, 2011. On December 14, 2007, the Canadian Federal government enacted additional legislation that incrementally lowers the Federal income tax rate from the current rate of 21% to 15% on January 1, 2012. As a result of these changes, the Company has reflected its future tax liabilities at the new enacted rates, resulting in the realization of a future income tax recovery of $7,042,000 during the year ended December 31, 2007.

		Effective April 1, 2006 the Province of Alberta lowered its provincial income tax rate from 11.5% to 10.0%. In addition, the Canadian Federal government also enacted legislation in June 2006 that eliminates the Federal surtax of 1.12% on January 1, 2008 and also incrementally lowers the Federal income tax rate from the current rate of 21% to 19% on January 1, 2010. As a result of these changes, and the Company’s permanent

establishment in Alberta, the Company has reflected its future tax liabilities at the new enacted rates, resulting in the realization of a future income tax recovery of $9,707,000 during the year ended December 31, 2006.

Income tax expense varies from the amount that would be computed by applying the combined federal and provincial income tax rate of 32.12% (32.12% in 2006 and 33.62% in 2005) to earnings (loss) before income taxes as follows:

		Offerings

		On February 12, 2007 (the “Closing Date”), the Company completed a unit offering of 8,334,000 units (“Units”) of the Company at a price of CA$5.40 per Unit. Each Unit is comprised of one Common Share and one-half of one common share purchase warrant of the Company (each whole warrant, a “Warrant”), with each Warrant entitling the holder thereof to acquire a further Common Share (each, a “Warrant Share”) at a price of CA$6.50 per Warrant Share for a period of nine months after the Closing Date and at CA$7.00 per Warrant Share from the date that is nine months after the Closing Date until the date that is 18 months after the Closing Date. The expiry date of the Warrants is subject to acceleration if the Common Shares have a closing price at or above CA$8.00 or CA$8.50 during the first or second nine-month period, respectively, for 20 consecutive trading days. Net proceeds to the Company, after agents’ commission and expenses of the offering was CA$42,118,000, or $35,659,000. The Company has allocated the net proceeds of the offering between the Common Shares and the Warrants based upon their relative fair values on the Closing Date. The fair value of the warrants were determined using the Black-Scholes Option Pricing Model, with an assumed risk free interest rate of 4.0% and expected price volatility of the Company’s Common Shares of 38%.

		On November 5, 2007, the Company completed an offering of 10,400,000 common shares of the Company (including an underwriter over-allotment of 400,000 Common Shares) at a price of CA$6.30 per share.

The Compensation Special Warrants were automatically exercised five business days after completion of the Company’s IPO in February 2005 for 308,000 Common Shares. Each Compensation Warrant allows the

		Stock options

		On June 8, 2004, the Board of Directors of the Company adopted a stock option plan (the “Plan”) pursuant to which the Company may grant incentive stock options to directors, officers, employees of and consultants to the Company and any affiliate of the Company, at the Board of Director’s discretion. The exercise price and vesting period of any option granted is fixed by the Board of Directors of the Company when such option is granted.

		All options are non-transferable. The term of the options is at the discretion of the Board of Directors, but may not exceed 10 years from the grant date. The options expire on the earlier of the expiry date or the date which is 90 days following the day on which the option holder ceases to be a director, officer, employee of or consultant to the Company and any affiliate of the Company. The options will be adjusted in the event of a share consolidation or subdivision or other similar change to the Company’s share capital. The aggregate number of Common Shares in respect of which options have been granted and remain outstanding under the Plan shall not at any time exceed 10% of the then issued and outstanding Common Shares, or exceed 5% of such amount to any one optionee.

		During 2007, the Company received proceeds from the exercise of 40,000 stock options totalling $162,000.

	a)		Share purchase warrants

			The SEC has recently provided guidance to their interpretation of the US accounting rules contained in the Statement of Financial Accounting Standards 133 (“SFAS 133”), Accounting for Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities as it relates to the accounting treatment for the Company’s share purchase warrants under US GAAP.

			Under Canadian GAAP, share purchase warrants are accounted for as equity. Recent examples of the SEC’s interpretation of SFAS 133 requires that when a Company’s share purchase warrants have an exercise price denominated in a currency other than a company’s functional currency, those share purchase warrants must be marked to fair value with any resulting gains or losses being included in the calculation of US GAAP earnings. In these circumstances a loss (gain) would be recorded by the Company when the value of the share purchase warrants increases (decreases). Upon exercise, the relevant liability is transferred to common shares.

			The Company used the Black-Scholes Option Pricing Model to determine the fair value of the warrants with the following assumptions:


	December 31,
	2007			2006

Risk free interest rate		3.8	%		4.1	%
Expected dividend yield		.5	%	Nil
Expected price volatility of the Company’s Common Shares		44	%		38	%
Expected remaining life of the warrants	0.6 years			0.1 years

			The Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) has initiated a project to determine the accounting treatment for convertible debt with elements of foreign currency risk. This project is expected to provide further US GAAP guidance in respect of accounting for share purchase warrants.

	b)		Recent accounting pronouncements

			U.S. GAAP Standards

			In September, 2006, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 157 “Fair Value Measurements” (“FAS 157”). FAS 157 defines fair value, establishes a framework for measuring fair value in generally accepted accounting principles (GAAP) and expands disclosures regarding fair value measurements. This Statement is applicable whenever another standard requires or permits assets or liabilities to be measured at fair value, but it does not expand the use of fair value to any new circumstances. FAS 157 is effective for financial statements issued for fiscal years beginning after November 15, 2007. On February 12, 2008, the FASB staff issued FASB Staff Position FAS 157-2 (“FAS 157-2”) which defers the effective date of FAS 157 for all nonfinancial assets and liabilities, except those that are recognized or disclosed at fair value in the financial statements on a recurring basis. FSP 157-2 defers the effective date of FAS 157 to fiscal years beginning after November

		15, 2008, for items within the scope of FSP 157-2. The Company is in the process of determining the impact, if any, the adoption of FAS 157 will have on its consolidated financial position or results of operations, but does not believe the impact will be material.

		In September, 2006, the FASB issued Statement 159 “Fair Value Option for Financial Assets and Financial Liabilities — Including an amendment of FASB Statement 115”. This Statement permits entities to choose to measure many financial instruments and certain other items at fair value. The objective is to improve financial reporting by providing entities with the opportunity to mitigate volatility in reported earnings caused by measuring related assets and liabilities differently without having to apply complex hedge accounting provisions. This Statement is expected to expand the use of fair value measurement, which is consistent with the Board’s long-term measurement objectives for accounting for financial instruments.

		The Company does not expect the adoption of SFAS 159 to have a material impact on the Company’s consolidated results of operations or financial position.

International Royalty Corporation
Notes to Interim Consolidated Financial Statements (unaudited)
September 30, 2009

1		Nature of business and basis of presentation

		International Royalty Corporation (“IRC” or the “Company”) was incorporated under the laws of Yukon, Canada on May 7, 2003 and was continued under the Canada Business Corporations Act on November 12, 2004. It was formed for the purpose of acquiring and creating natural resource royalties with a specific emphasis on mineral royalties.

		These unaudited interim consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with Canadian generally accepted accounting principles for interim financial information. Accordingly, they do not include all of the information and notes to the consolidated financial statements required by generally accepted accounting principles for complete financial statements and should be read in conjunction with the Company’s consolidated financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2008. In the opinion of management, all adjustments considered necessary for fair presentation have been included.

2		Significant accounting policies

		The consolidated financial statements have been prepared using accounting policies generally accepted in Canada (“Canadian GAAP”) for interim reporting and include the accounts of its wholly-owned subsidiaries. The material subsidiaries include IRC (U.S.) Management Inc., Archean Resources Ltd. (“Archean”) and IRC Nevada Inc. In addition, the Company consolidates variable interest entities for which it is determined to be the primary beneficiary. All significant inter-company transactions are eliminated on consolidation.

		The accounting policies followed by the Company are set out in note 2 to the audited consolidated financial statements for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2008 and have been consistently followed in the preparation of these consolidated financial statements except that the Company has adopted the following CICA standards effective for the Company’s first quarter commencing January 1, 2009, with the exception of the variable interest entities policy which became a significant policy during the quarter ended June 30, 2009:

		Section 3064 — Goodwill and Intangible Assets — This section was issued in February 2008 and replaced CICA 3062, “Goodwill and Intangible Assets,” and Section 3450, “Research and Development”. This new standard provides guidance on the recognition, measurement, presentation and disclosure of goodwill and intangible assets. The adoption of this standard had no effect on the consolidated financial statements.

		Section 1582 — Business Combinations, Section 1601 — Consolidations and Section 1602 — Non-controlling Interests — These sections were issued in January 2009 and are harmonized with International Financial Reporting Standards. Section 1582 specifies a number of changes, including: an expanded definition of a business combination, a requirement to measure all business acquisitions at fair value, a requirement to measure non-controlling interests at fair value, and a requirement to recognize acquisition-related costs as expenses. Section 1601 establishes the standards for preparing consolidated financial statements. Section 1602 specifies that non-controlling interests be treated as a separate component of equity, not as a liability or other item outside of equity. These new standards are effective for 2011. Early adoption is permitted.

International Royalty Corporation
Notes to Interim Consolidated Financial Statements (unaudited)
September 30, 2009

		Variable interest entities

		The Company accounts for variable interest entities (“VIE”) in accordance with CICA Accounting Guide 15, “Consolidation of Variable Interest Entities” (“AcG 15”). AcG 15 prescribes the application of consolidation principles for entities that meet the definition of a VIE. An enterprise holding other than a voting interest in a VIE, could, subject to certain conditions, be required to consolidate the VIE, if it is considered its primary beneficiary whereby it would absorb the majority of the VIE’s expected losses, receive the majority of its expected residual returns, or both.

		Reclassifications

		Certain prior period amounts have been reclassified to conform with the current year financial statement presentation.

		2009 Royalty Acquisitions

		Johnson Camp Royalty Interests

		On March 31, 2009, the Company acquired from Nord Resources Corporation a royalty on the producing Johnson Camp copper mine located in Cochise County, Arizona for cash consideration of $4.95 million, plus acquisition costs of $72,000. The Johnson Camp royalty is a 2.50% NSR on the project. Beginning after January 1, 2010, the royalty rate for any given year can be adjusted slightly upward if certain annual production targets are not met, and downward if excess production allows previous short-falls to be recovered. However, the cumulative rate on copper production can never fall below the original 2.50% NSR on the project. The royalty rate on any metals other than copper can be reduced to 1.25%, if cumulative copper production from the mine exceeds 250 million pounds within twelve years.

		Refund of Stamp Duty

		During 2006, the Company paid stamp duty to the government of Western Australia as part of the acquisition of its Western Australia royalty interests. The original cost of the stamp duty was capitalized as part of the costs of the royalties. The Company appealed the costs and in January 2009, received a refund of $413,000. The refund was recorded as a reduction of the original cost and was allocated among the royalty interests acquired.

		Pending royalty acquisitions

		Fawcett

		On December 7, 2004, the Company signed a letter agreement with David Fawcett (superseded by a royalty purchase agreement dated February 22, 2005) to acquire 20.3% of a 1.0% royalty interest on four coal licenses in British Columbia for total consideration of CA$312,500 in cash and CA$937,500 in Common Shares valued at the offering price of the IPO of CA$4.30. Pursuant to an agreement dated February 22, 2005, the cash and 218,023 Common Shares were placed in escrow pending receipt of executed royalty assignment agreements from the property owner, Western Canadian Coal Corp. (“Western”). The value of the Common Shares has been included in other long-term assets as of September 30, 2009 and December 31, 2008 and will be transferred to royalty interests in mineral properties upon closing of the transaction. Should the transaction not close, the cash will revert back to the Company and the shares will be cancelled.

		On March 21, 2005, Western filed a petition with the Supreme Court of British Columbia to have the underlying royalty sharing agreement set aside. On February 24, 2006, the Supreme Court of British Columbia upheld the underlying royalty sharing agreement between David Fawcett and Western. On March 24, 2006, Western filed a notice to appeal the decision. On October 23, 2006, Western announced that it was unilaterally discontinuing the appeal but would be taking the position that based on the circumstances in which the 1.0% royalty was entered into, that any payment on the 1.0% royalty over the sum of $500,000 would constitute the payment of interest in excess of 60% and would be illegal under Section 347 of the Criminal Code of Canada. Accordingly, Western indicated that it would make no payments on the 1.0% royalty over and above $500,000. If correct, this would restrict the payments on that portion of the royalty to be assigned by Fawcett to the Company to $101,500. Fawcett has commenced proceedings challenging this position and is seeking a declaration that the 1.0% royalty is not subject to Section 347 of the Criminal Code.

September 30, 2009

		On April 1, 2009, the Supreme Court of British Columbia announced its judgment in favour of David Fawcett, declaring that the 1.0% royalty is not subject to Section 347 of the Criminal Code. On April 30, 2009, Western filed a Notice of Appeal with the British Columbia Court of Appeals regarding the Supreme Court’s decision. On July 31, 2009, Western submitted its formal factum and David Fawcett submitted his factum in reply in September 2009. The Court of Appeals has scheduled the appeal hearing for December 16, 2009.

		Impairments

		During the three and nine months ended September 30, 2009, as a result of management’s assessment, the Company determined that there were no impairments of royalty interests in mineral properties. During the three months ended September 30, 2008, it was determined that the Company’s royalty interests on five diamond properties in Canada were impaired due to the expiration of exploration permits at the end of statutory time limits. During the three and nine months ended September 30, 2008, the Company recorded $813,000 of impairments of royalty interests in mineral properties.

		Preferred Rocks of Genoa Holding Company, LLC (“Genoa”)

		The Company’s investment in Genoa has been classified as available-for-sale, and accordingly was initially recorded at its fair market value, which approximated cost. There is no quoted market price in an active market for the investment in Genoa, and accordingly, this investment is measured at cost.

		New Horizon Uranium Corporation

		The investment in NHU has been classified as available-for-sale and accordingly was initially recorded at fair market value. The Company recorded an unrealized gain on the investment of $17,000 (net of a future tax expense of $3,000) to comprehensive income during the nine months ended September 30, 2009. Future changes to the fair market value of the Company’s investment in NHU will be recorded as other comprehensive income, net of taxes, until the Company disposes of any of its investment, unless a decline is determined to be other than temporary.

Other		262		9


	$	2,278	$	3,639

		Advances to CFT Capital Limited (“CFT”) represent gross amounts of $2.0 million loaned to CFT, an unrelated third party, for the acquisition of McWatters Mining, Inc. (“McWatters”) (Note 10). As of April 9, 2009 (date of closing), these advances are repayable over five years with interest at 1.0%. During the three months ended September 30, 2009, the Company received $456,000 in repayments of the advances from CFT. The Company has established the fair value of the remaining outstanding advances to be $1.1 million using the present value of the expected future cash flows with a discount rate of 12%.

		The Company determined that deferred costs relating the McWatters transaction (Note 10) were direct and incremental in nature. These costs were capitalized as part of the acquisition and written off as part of the purchase price allocation. These costs are included as costs related to the acquisition of McWatters (note 10).

6		Revolving Credit Facility

		The Company entered into a credit agreement with The Bank of Nova Scotia establishing a revolving credit facility (the “Revolving Facility”) in favour of the Company in the amount of up to $40 million. The Revolving Facility is used to provide funds for general corporate purposes, including acquisitions of royalties on mining properties. The Revolving Facility matures January 8, 2010.

		The Revolving Facility is a two-year revolving loan which is available in multiple currencies through prime rate, base rate and LIBOR advances and through bankers’ acceptances, priced at the applicable rate plus an applicable margin that ranges from 1% to 2%. The Company pays a standby fee of 1% per annum on the undrawn amount of the Revolving Facility.

		The Revolving Facility is subject to customary terms and conditions for borrowers of this nature, including limits on incurring additional indebtedness, granting liens or selling assets without the consent of the lenders. The Company is also required to maintain certain financial ratios as well as a minimum tangible net worth. Pursuant to the Revolving Facility, the Company granted a second charge over substantially all of its current and future assets. Archean and IRC Nevada Inc. guaranteed the indebtedness of the Company under the Revolving Facility. IRC Nevada Inc. provided a first charge over all of its assets pursuant to a general security agreement and Archean provided a second charge over all of

its assets (except for its equity interest in Voisey’s Bay Holding Corporation which was not pledged) pursuant to a general security agreement.

7		Senior secured debentures

		On February 22, 2005, the Company completed a Unit Offering for gross proceeds of CA$30 million. The Unit Offering consisted of CA$30 million of 5.5% Senior Secured Debentures (the “Debentures”) due February 22, 2011 and 1,395,360 Common Shares. The obligations of the Company under the Debentures are collateralized by a general security agreement over all of the assets of the Company relating to the Voisey’s Bay Royalty.

		Interest on the Debentures is payable semi-annually, on February 28 and August 31, with the principal of CA$30 million due at maturity in 2011. Interest on the Debentures paid by the Company during the nine months ended September 30, 2009 and 2008 was $1.4 million and $1.7 million, respectively.

		The proceeds received from the Debentures were reduced by the fair value of the Common Shares issued of $4.9 million. Details of the balance are as follows:


	September 30, 2009						December 31, 2008
*(in thousands of US$)*	CA			US			CA			US

Senior Secured Debentures payable	$	30,000		$	27,633		$	30,000		$	24,549

	$	27,579		$	25,666		$	26,447		$	21,662

		The Company’s contractual obligation for future principal payments is one lump sum payment of CA$30,000,000 to be made on February 22, 2011. The obligation is denominated in CA$. The Debentures as of September 30, 2009 were converted to US$ equivalents using an exchange rate of CA$1.00 to US$0.9211, the exchange rate as of September 30, 2009. The Debentures as of December 31, 2008 were converted to US$ equivalents using an exchange rate of CA$1.00 to US$0.8183, the exchange rate as of December 31, 2008.

		Foreign Currency Contract

		On November 25, 2008, the Company entered into an agreement with a bank to fix the exchange rate to repay the principal balance of the Senior Secured Debentures at CA$1.00 to US$0.834725, based on the settlement date of February 22, 2011. The fair value of the liability (asset) as of September 30, 2009 and December 31, 2008 was $(2,948,000) and $493,000, respectively.

		The foreign currency contract liability is a derivative and thus, has been classified as “held-for-trading” and was recorded at fair value on the date of acquisition and then marked-to-market at the balance sheet date. The change in fair value of the foreign currency contract liability has been recognized as an unrealized gain on fair market value of foreign currency contract on the consolidated statements of operations.

		Functional Currency Election

		In March 2009, the Canadian government enacted new legislation which will allow qualifying taxpayers the ability to file their 2008 and subsequent Canadian tax returns using a functional currency which is other than the Canadian dollar. As a result of the legislation becoming substantively enacted for financial reporting purposes in the nine months ended September 30, 2009, foreign currency losses of approximately $1.8 million previously recognized in 2008 were reversed in March 2009 and have been recorded as a foreign currency gain on the consolidated statement of operations for the nine months ended September 30, 2009.

		Also, as a result of this new legislation, the Company translated its non-monetary assets to a U.S. value using the foreign currency exchange rate of CA$1.00 to US$1.012, the rate provided for by the new legislation. The use of this rate to lock in the U.S. dollar value of the assets created a permanent benefit in the tax basis of certain of the company’s assets. This change in tax basis created a future tax benefit of $2.0 million, which has been reflected in the consolidated statement of operations for the nine months ended September 30, 2009.

		McWatters Acquisition of Tax Attributes

		On April 9, 2009, the Company completed its acquisition of McWatters Mining, Inc. (“McWatters”) (Note 10). McWatters has estimated accumulated non-capital losses carried forward for federal purposes totalling CA$92.9 million which are available to reduce future taxable income.

The non-capital losses expire as follows:

2014		9,827,056

2026		1,307,707
2027		1,118,019
2028		432,255

Balance at September 30, 2009	$	92,864,343

		McWatters has accumulated research and development expenses of CA$1.3 million and research and development federal tax credits to be carried forward of CA$490,000. These tax credits will expire between 2019 and 2022.

		McWatters has also accumulated capital losses of CA$455,000, Canadian exploration expenses of CA$5.0 million, Canadian development expenses of CA$18.0 million and limited partnership losses from its subsidiary of CA$24.5 million. The limited partnership losses are available to reduce future taxable income within the parameters of the Federal and Quebec tax legislation, without limit of time. In order to use the limited partnership losses, the partnership will have to generate taxable income.

		Due to the complexity inherent in the interpretation of the Income Tax Act (Canada), it is possible that some or all of the McWatters non-capital losses may not be deductible for tax purposes and accordingly, the potential tax benefits of these elements have not been recognized in these consolidated financial statements.

9		Shareholders’ equity

		Bought Deal Financing

		On July 15, 2009, the Company completed an offering of 14,100,000 common shares at a price of CA$3.55 per common share for total gross proceeds of $44,728,000 (CA$50,055,000). The Company also granted to the underwriters an over-allotment option of up to 2,115,000 common shares which were fully subscribed on July 24, 2009 at a price of CA$3.55 per share for gross proceeds of $6,926,000 (CA$7,508,000). Closing of the over-allotment option brought total gross proceeds from the offering to $51,654,000 (CA$57,563,000), and net proceeds to approximately $49,461,000 (CA$55,118,000). IRC paid share issuance costs of $2,193,000 (CA$2,445,000) related to the offering. The total number of common shares outstanding after the offering was 94,695,356 shares.

10		Acquisition of McWatters Mining, Inc.

		On April 9, 2009, the Company acquired all of the outstanding common shares of McWatters Mining, Inc. (“McWatters”) representing a 45% voting interest. A class of voting preferred shares created under a Plan of Arrangement and issued to all former common shareholders of McWatters is entitled to 55% of the votes and an amount not exceeding CA$1.0 million of cumulative dividends and redemption amounts. All income in excess of CA$1.0 million will accrue to the common shares, all of which are owned by IRC. The value of the future cash payments of $753,000 has been recorded in other liabilities in the consolidated balance sheet using a discount rate of 12%. The Company has accounted for this transaction as a purchase of assets.

		McWatters was reorganized effective on June 2, 2008, and pursuant to a proposal with its creditors, substantially all of its unsecured creditor claims were acquired by CFT Capital, Inc. (“CFT”), and the balance of such claims have been settled. At the date of acquisition, McWatters had remaining liabilities of CA$7.3 million which will be payable out of 6.0% of available taxable income of McWatters. During the three months ended September 30, 2009, McWatters made a payment of $331,000 to CFT. The Company has estimated the fair value of the remaining future cash payments to be $3.1 million using a discount of 12% and has been recorded in other liabilities in the consolidated balance sheet

UNAUDITED PRO FORMA, COMBINED, CONDENSED
FINANCIAL INFORMATION OF ROYAL GOLD

The following unaudited pro forma combined condensed financial information as of December 31, 2009, for the six-month period then ended and for the fiscal year ended June 30, 2009 is presented to show the results of operations and financial position of Royal Gold as if the Arrangement with IRC had occurred as of July 1, 2008, and with respect to the balance sheet as if the Arrangement had occurred as of December 31, 2009. The unaudited pro forma condensed financial information includes results of operations and financial position of IRC for the six-month period ended September 30, 2009.

This unaudited pro forma combined condensed financial information should be read in conjunction with the selected historical financial information included in this Circular and the financial statements and accompanying notes of Royal Gold that are incorporated by reference into this Circular. You should not rely on the unaudited pro forma combined condensed financial information as an indication of the results of operations or financial position that would have been achieved if the Arrangement with IRC had taken place on the dates indicated or an indication of the results of operations in the future.

The following Unaudited Pro Forma Combined Condensed Financial Data of Royal Gold consists of an Unaudited Pro Forma Condensed Balance Sheet as of December 31, 2009 for Royal Gold and as of September 30, 2009 for IRC and Unaudited Pro Forma Condensed Statements of Operations and Comprehensive Income for the six-months then ended, respectively, and for the year ended June 30, 2009 (collectively, the “Pro Forma Statements”). IRC’s historical financial statements were prepared on a calendar year basis and in accordance with Canadian GAAP, which differs in certain respects from U.S. GAAP. IRC’s historical results of operations used in the Pro Forma Statements have been prepared on a June 30 year end basis to conform to Royal Gold’s year end and are adjusted to and presented in accordance with U.S. GAAP. The change to U.S. GAAP resulted in a de minimus increase in IRC’s reported net income during the fiscal year ended June 30, 2009 (there were no differences for the six month period ended September 30, 2009). Royal Gold’s historical financial statements are prepared in accordance with U.S. GAAP. Effective July 1, 2009, Royal Gold changed its presentation of non-controlling interest amounts in accordance with the FASB ASC 810. Except for presentation changes, the adoption of the new accounting standard had no impact on Royal Gold’s consolidated financial position, results of operations or cash flows. The adoption of the new accounting standard has been reflected in all periods in the accompanying Pro Forma Statements.

The Pro Forma Statements reflect the Arrangement described herein under which shareholders of IRC will receive, at their election, C$7.45 in cash or 0.1385 shares of Royal Gold common stock or a combination thereof, subject to a maximum of $350 million in cash and a maximum of 7.75 million shares of Royal Gold common stock. The Pro Forma Statements have been prepared under the following purchase consideration scenario: cash consideration up to the maximum aggregate of $350 million which is equal to approximately 0.0700 shares of Royal Gold common stock plus $3.48 in cash for each fully diluted share of IRC, assuming 100,565,856 fully diluted shares of IRC common stock outstanding at the time of the closing. The actual purchase price may differ based on fluctuations in the price of Royal Gold common stock. See Note (1) in the unaudited pro forma financial statements for sensitivity analysis on the impact of fluctuations in the price of Royal Gold common stock and the purchase price.

Royal Gold’s management believes that, on the basis set forth herein, the Pro Forma Statements reflect a reasonable estimate of the IRC Arrangement based on currently available information. Royal Gold expects the Arrangement to qualify as a business combination which requires the allocation of the purchase price to be based upon the estimated fair value of assets acquired and liabilities assumed. Certain of the purchase price allocations reflected in the Pro Forma Statements are preliminary and may be different from the final allocation of the purchase price and such differences may be material.

The Pro Forma Statements also reflect a definitive agreement that Royal Gold entered into with a Chilean subsidiary of Teck Resources Limited, Compañía Minera Teck Carmen de Andacollo (“CDA”), to acquire an interest in the gold produced from the sulfide portion of the Andacollo project in Chile (the “Andacollo Royalty”). We refer to this transaction as the “Teck Transaction.” The purchase price for the Andacollo Royalty consisted of $217.9 million in cash and 1,204,136 of Royal Gold’s common shares. The Teck Transaction was completed on January 25, 2010 and has been included in the Pro Forma Statements due to its significance and impact to Royal Gold. There is no impact to the Pro Forma Statement of Operations and Comprehensive Income as

the transaction is an asset purchase, the underlying assets are not yet producing and all related transaction costs have been capitalized.

See accompanying notes to unaudited pro forma combined condensed financial statements.

The following adjustments have been reflected in the Pro Forma Statements:

(1)

To record the issuance of 7,039,610 shares of Royal Gold common stock and $350 million of cash as purchase consideration for the arrangement based on assumed September 30, 2009 closing. The preliminary allocation of the purchase price based on the estimated fair value of assets acquired and liabilities assumed as follows:

Calculation of purchase price ($000’s):


Cash consideration	$	350,000
Stock consideration (a)		312,418

Total purchase price	$	662,418


(a)		The value of Royal Gold common stock used ($44.38) is the closing price of Royal Gold common stock on February 16, 2010. The value of Royal Gold common stock will not be known until the Effective Date and may differ materially based on changes in share price through the Effective Date.

Preliminary allocation of purchase price ($000’s):


Current assets	$	81,353
Royalty interests in mineral properties		878,417
Long-term assets		11,571
Liabilities assumed (b)		(50,451	)
Deferred and other tax liabilities		(263,180	)
Goodwill and other intangible assets (c) & (d)		4,708

Total purchase price	$	662,418


(b)		Liabilities assumed have been recorded at their carrying values, which approximate fair value.

(c)		Certain intangibles may be acquired in the final Arrangement but they have not been valued yet for the preliminary allocation of the purchase price. If intangibles are acquired, they will be valued and identified upon the final allocation of the purchase price. No amortization of other intangible assets has been recorded in the Pro Forma Statements.

(d)		Goodwill represents the premium paid for the assets acquired and represents the scarcity value of the royalties acquired and possible optionality related to the royalty contracts acquired. The allocation of the purchase price is preliminary and subject to change based upon full valuation of the acquired assets and liabilities.

	(2)		To record expected proceeds from the exercise of outstanding IRC stock options prior to closing of the Arrangement as the holders of these instruments are economically compelled to exercise prior to the closing due to the in-the-money nature of the options. Each outstanding IRC stock option shall be cancelled and the holder thereof shall have no further rights or benefits in respect of such option upon closing of the Arrangement. As this is expected to occur prior to closing, the proceeds from the exercise of $23.7 million have been included in current assets of $81.4 million in Note (1).

	(3)		To record $125 million of floating-rate borrowings under Royal Gold’s current credit facility and $100 million of floating-rate borrowings to be made available under a new term loan ($40 million in current liabilities) which was entered into with HSBC Bank USA, National Association (“HSBC Bank”), on January 21, 2010, including the related interest expense at LIBOR (0.25% as of February 16, 2010) plus 2.25%. The interest expense includes the amortization of the estimated related debt issuance costs. If the floating-rates on this debt changed by 1/8%, the annual effect to interest expense would be approximately $0.3 million.

100

	(4)		To record a payable to the existing officers and certain employees of IRC as a result of the Arrangement under change of control provisions of existing employment contracts.

	(5)		To eliminate IRC historical equity balances, including eliminating the stockholders’ equity effects of the Arrangement discussed in Note 2 and one-time transaction costs discussed in Note 6.

	(6)		The Pro Forma Statement of Operations and Comprehensive Income does not include the estimated one-time transaction costs totaling $11.3 million. Total transaction costs are estimated to be $13.5 million, of which $2.2 million has been expensed in the Royal Gold Statement of Operations for the six months ended December 31, 2009. The remaining $11.3 million is comprised of Royal Gold estimated remaining one-time transaction costs of $6.3 million and IRC estimated one-time transaction costs of $5 million. The transaction costs will be recorded once the expenses have been incurred.

	(7)		To record additional depreciation, depletion and amortization on acquired royalty interests, resulting from the step-up of carrying value of the royalty interests to fair value in purchase accounting times the production during the respective periods. The additional depreciation, depletion and amortization was calculated by comparing depreciation, depletion and amortization using rates based on the stepped-up carrying values under the units-of-production method to actual depreciation, depletion and amortization for the same periods using historical rates. The impact to depreciation, depletion and amortization expense for a $10 million change in the carrying values of the acquired royalty interests would be approximately $0.8 million and $0.2 million for the year ended June 30, 2009 and the six months ended December 31, 2009, respectively.

	(8)		To give effect to the issuance of 1,204,136 shares of Royal Gold common stock to acquire the Andacollo Royalty on January 25, 2010, as well $217.9 million in cash. The value of Royal Gold common stock was $44.37 on January 25, 2010.

	(9)		To record the tax benefits for the increased expenses discussed in Notes 3, 6 and 7 using the statutory tax rate of 35%.

	(10)		To reclassify certain historical amounts to conform to the Royal Gold presentation.

The preliminary allocation of the purchase price to the acquired identifiable tangible and intangible assets and assumed liabilities of IRC was based on the September 30, 2009 IRC balance sheet and other currently available information. The actual purchase price and the number of Royal Gold shares to be issued at the closing of the Arrangement may differ based on fluctuations in Royal Gold common stock price. For purposes of the preliminary purchase price allocation, the acquired Royalty Interests in Mineral Properties have been recorded at their estimated fair values based upon Royal Gold’s estimate of the expected future discounted cash flows associated with those assets. The final allocation may change upon actual closing and completion of a full valuation.
