Company Vision

Build Ireland (IRLD) into a significant mid-tier mining company • IRLD has two precious metal projects with significant potential • Columbus Project - Acquired 100% Gold / Silver mining rights Option to Expand • Red Mountain Project – Option to buy 100% Gold / Tungsten / Silver mining rights

Columbus Project- Opportunity

With permits already granted, the Columbus Project is
expect to be in production in 2010.

Prefeasibility work and drilling programs for the Columbus Project have been ongoing for the past several years and have:

• Identified an area containing approx. 200 million tons of mineable material with an average sample head grade of 0.041 oz/per ton Au Equivalent

• Conducted pilot scale tests indicating extraction rates of precious metals of 70% to 83%

• Identified a simple low-cost direct leach extraction process

Ireland is an unrecognized investment opportunity and could achieve
substantially higher valuations based on the progress of its technical
program and the value of its resources/reserves.

Overview

Columbus Project Mill-Site Facility

Columbus Project • Gold and Silver Project • A “dry salt marsh” with drill indicated zones of surface mineable material • Mine site production permit has been granted • Short production horizon

5

Location

The Project is located between Las Vegas & Reno in the Columbus Basin, in Esmeralda County, Nevada – a region with a proven history of major discoveries of gold and silver.

6

Rich Regional History

	Columbus Project is in a mineralized area:
	• Round Mountain (Gold)*
	• Owned by Barrick and Kinross
	• 20 M oz gold deposit
	• 16 M oz mined (12M oz extracted to 2008)
	• 97% “invisible” gold
	• Head Grade 0.018 opt Au
	• 2008 Production: +/-600k oz Au
	@125K tpd ore (cyanide)
	• ~ 60 miles from Columbus Project
	• Candelaria (Silver)*
	• Original claims in 1860’s
	• 151 M oz of silver identified
	• 68 M oz of silver mined
	• ~ 5 miles from Columbus Project
	* - data from published reports

Project Assets

The Columbus Project consists of : • 19,680 acres of mineral claims on federal land administered by the BLM (Bureau of Land Management), with an option for an additional ~22,640 acres. • 380 acres permitted to 40 feet for extraction of gold, silver and production of Calcium Carbonate (Zone A - Permitted Mine Area) - 320 acre mine site, 60 acre mill site - 15,000 sq ft mill building • Water usage rights of aquifers in basin • 80 acres of private land - Future development flexibility

Project Prefeasibility

Extraction Leach Test Results

• Bench Scale Tests (5.5 pounds) are not large enough to recover on resins or activated carbon, instead, precious metals were extracted by precipitation from leach solution

• Zone B is located 3 miles south of the Zone A – Permitted Mine Area

11

Independent Confirmation

All reported work to date has been completed and performed by third party engineers/geologists under Chain of Custody (COC)

Technical Team – Independent firms:

Permitting

• Lumos & Associates – based in Reno, NV

Project Resources

• McEwen Geological – Drill program management / Modeling
• Arrakis Inc. – Mining and production process design/ Metallurgy
• AuRIC Metallurgical Labs – Drill sample analysis / Metallurgy

Project Feasibility

• Arrakis – Pilot Plant Operations/Project Construction
• AuRIC – Leach Testing / Extraction Process Development

Project Pre-Feasibility

Process Flow Diagram

Estimated Operating Costs (similar to typical Tank Leach Operations) ~ $10/ton

Current Production Permits: mine up to 792,000tpy in Zone A – Permitted Mine Area, a 320-acre area, to a depth of 40 ft. (estimated mine life 17+ years)
