PART I

ITEM 1.—BUSINESS

Overview

Independence Resources PLC, together with its subsidiaries (the “Company”), is a public limited company organized under the laws of England in 1983. The Company was originally incorporated under the name of Senetek PLC and changed its name to Independence Resources PLC on November 8, 2011. The Company’s registered office is located in the United Kingdom. All of its employees are based in the United States from where it liaises with the U.S. investing public. The Company has three wholly-owned subsidiaries, Senetek Drug Delivery Technologies Inc. (“SSDT”) and Carmé Cosmeceutical Sciences Inc. (“CCSI”), both Delaware corporations, Iron Eagle Acquisitions, Inc. (“Iron Eagle”), a Nevada corporation. On April 18, 2012, Independence acquired 70% of Coeur d’ Alene Mine Contracting LLC.

Historically, the Company had been focused on the skincare and pharmaceutical businesses. In March 2010, after an extensive review by our Board of Directors and our outside advisors, our Board elected to change our overall direction from these sectors to the natural resources sector. Our Board realized that the business prospects of the existing portfolio of assets were not capable of generating sufficient revenue, and we had insufficient cash on hand to reach significant revenue generation from any of the product lines in our portfolio. We elected to pursue additional opportunities in the resources sector because this sector has experienced significant growth and investor interest in the past few years and our Board believes the resources sector has continued growth prospects and significant opportunities. During 2011 we continued the transition from a biomedical company to one focused on natural resources. In 2011, the Company terminated its participation in the secured notes related to the Relief Canyon Mine and in the process it eliminated the convertible debt associated with that acquisition leaving the Company debt free. With the exception of the Reliaject product, the Company has sold or otherwise disposed of the remainder of its biomedical assets which has continued to reduce expenses associated with the biomedical lines of business. We made significant progress during the 2011 work season at our Iron Creek Project by conducting a number of geophysical surveys which have identified the existing known zones of mineralization. As a result, we believe we have discovered additional extensions to the known zones as well as possibly identified several new zones of mineralization. We had planned on undertaking a drilling program to verify these results for the 2012 work season, but could not do so due to lack of funding. Similarly, we were unable to execute our planned work program at our Gray Eagle property in California due to lack of funding.

Mineral Property Operations

In March 2011, we acquired 100% ownership of Iron Eagle Acquisitions, Inc (“Iron Eagle”) by issuing 8,150,000 ordinary shares valued at $0.78 or a total value of $6,357,000. As a result of the acquisition, Iron Eagle became our wholly-owned subsidiary.

Iron Eagle owns three mineral projects, one in Idaho known as the Iron Creek project and one in California known as the Gray Eagle Copper Mine.

Iron Creek Project, Salmon, Idaho

The Iron Creek Project consists of seven patented mining claims of approximately 118 acres in Lemhi County, and 187 unpatented mining claims located about 26 miles southwest of the town of Salmon, Idaho. The unpatented mining claims were dropped in September 2012 due to lack of funding.

Past work by previous operators has identified several mineralized zones of copper and cobalt, and numerous other exploration targets on the property that have not yet been evaluated. However, extensive drilling, sampling, and geologic work have been done on two of the most advanced areas. In these areas, previous operators calculated tonnages and grades (which are non-43-101 compliant) contained in an area called the “No Name Zone.”

The first mineral resource of interest referenced in the literature is an underground target described by Noranda Exploration in a 1980 report as “two distinct lenses of cobalt mineralization.” The first lens was called a “reserve” and was estimated to contain 1,050,000 tons grading 0.61% cobalt and 0.3% copper and having a strike length of about 750 feet. A second lens of high-grade cobalt mineralization occurs to the northwest, and again is described as a “reserve.” This lens extends for 600 feet of strike length, is deeper than the first lens, and averages about 0.48% cobalt and 0.24% copper. The authors estimated this resource to be around 229,000 tons.

The second area of major interest, also in the "No Name Zone" is described by Centurion Minerals in a 1988 report as containing at least 10,000,000 tons of open pit resources grading 2% copper equivalent grade (accounting for the cobalt as a by-product). This number was based on over 20 diamond drill holes along approximately 5,000 feet of strike length and over 200 feet of width, at an average spacing of around 200 feet. The author of the report concluded that these resources could be classified as “possible” reserves (under an S.E.C. classification) and recommended an additional 30 holes be drilled to reduce the drill spacing to something less than 200 feet. Significantly more infill drilling will be required to upgrade and verify this mineral resource.

Additionally, we obtained permits from the Forest Service to undertake sampling, induced polarization, magnetic surveys, and geologic mapping on the ground. These activities were undertaken during the field season of 2011. These activities confirmed the mineral zones as outlined in historic reports and identified several potential new zones of mineralization that were previously not recognized.

No additional work was done during the summer of 2012 due to lack of funding and no additional work is planned for 2013 unless funding is obtained.

Gray Eagle Copper Mine, Happy Camp, California

The Gray Eagle Copper Mine (“Gray Eagle”) is a past producer of significant amounts of both copper and gold. The property consists of approximately 294 acres of patented mining claims and 42 unpatented mining claims in Siskiyou County, the northernmost county of the State of California. Major production of valuable metals occurred during two different periods at Gray Eagle. Newmont Mining produced significant copper at the property in the 1940’s and Noranda Mining produced significant gold at the property in the 1980’s.

In the early 1990’s, a feasibility study was completed by Siskon Corporation which was reviewed by a major U.S.-based mineral consulting firm which concluded that a mineral resource of just over 1.1 million tons of ore grading 2.59% copper and .027 ounces per ton gold using a 3.3 to 1 strip ratio, a copper cutoff grade of 1%, and recovery factors of 90% on copper and 30% on gold. We intend to confirm this resource and undertake additional drilling to further refine the mineral resources which have been identified by past work at this project, and to explore for undiscovered possible deposits in the area.

The Gray Eagle Mine has been subject to an Environmental Protection Agency (“EPA”) clean up action in the past. According to publicly available EPA documents, the EPA has expended about $3 million in response costs cleaning up old mining tailings. We understand that several companies have been identified as potential responsible parties for this clean up. We have not, to date, received any communication from the EPA with respect to recovery of these costs or any environmental issues that may be present at the Gray Eagle property.

East Mullan Claims

The East Mullan Claims consist of fifteen unpatented mining claims, three of which are proximate to the east of the Lucky Friday/Gold Hunter Mine complex in Shoshone County, Idaho. The remainder of the claims are located on a down dip possible extension of the historic Snowstorm Mine. These claims were purchased during the first quarter of 2012 from Consolidated Goldfields for $60,000 in cash. This transaction is considered a related party transaction as the Company and Consolidated Goldfields had directors in common at the time of the transaction.

Relief Canyon Mine, Lovelock Nevada

In August 2008, Firstgold Corp. (“Firstgold”), Platinum Partners Value Arbitrage Fund L.P. (“Platinum”) and Lakewood Group, LLC (“Lakewood”) entered into a purchase agreement (the “Firstgold Agreement”) pursuant to which, among other things, Firstgold issued and sold to Platinum (i) senior secured promissory notes in the aggregate principal amount of $9,607,200 (the “Platinum Notes”), and (ii) a warrant to purchase up to 12 million shares of Firstgold’s common stock (the “Platinum Warrant”). In December 2009, Platinum exercised its rights to cause Firstgold to purchase the Platinum Warrant (the “Platinum Put Right”). Firstgold failed to pay amounts outstanding under the Platinum Notes, including accrued and unpaid interest in respect of the Platinum Notes and amounts in respect of the Platinum Put Right, as and when due. The Platinum Notes were secured by all of the assets of Firstgold and the primary asset of Firstgold is the Relief Canyon Mine.

In April 2010, we entered into a Participation Agreement (the “Participation Agreement”) with Platinum, pursuant to which we purchased a participation in Platinum’s claims relating to (i) the aggregate principal amount outstanding under the Platinum Notes and related advances of $9.6 million, (ii) the accrued and unpaid interest in respect of the Platinum Notes and such related advances of $2.3 million and (iii) the amount owed by Firstgold to Platinum in respect of the exercise of the Platinum Put Right with respect to the Platinum Warrant of $3.6 million (collectively, the “Platinum Claims”), equal to an undivided percentage interest of 45% in all of such Platinum Claims (representing $7 million of the Platinum Claims), and a corresponding 45% pro rata interest in all collateral and guarantees, if any, Platinum has or from time to time may receive securing or supporting any of the Platinum Claims or any obligations of Firstgold arising under or in connection with any documents relating to any Platinum Claims, for the aggregate purchase price of $5 million. As a result of (1) the issuance by Firstgold of senior secured promissory notes to Platinum and Lakewood pursuant to the Firstgold Agreement, and (2) our purchase of 45% of the Platinum Claims, we held a resulting 35% interest in the Relief Canyon Mine assets.

On August 22, 2011, pursuant to the Participation Agreement, we requested that Platinum acquire our participation interest at the price of $5,034,281 (the “Put Price”). We and Platinum have agreed that the Put Price shall be deemed paid, in part, by application (by way of set-off) of amounts outstanding under the a secured promissory note (the “Company Note”) issued by us to DMRJ Group LLC (“DMRJ”), an affiliated entity of Platinum, on or about March 2010. The amounts owed to DMRJ pursuant to the Company Note totaled $2,876,790 (the “Company Note Amount”). Additionally we and Platinum agreed to settle the balance of amounts that had been advanced by each party to the operations of the Relief Canyon Mine project (the “Net Project Advances”). A loss of $412,367 was recognized on the transaction.

On September 2, 2011, we received from Platinum an amount equal to $2,535,689 (which amount represents the Put Price less the Company Note Amount plus the Net Project Advances). As a result, as of September 1, 2011, (i) the Participation Agreement is deemed terminated and of no further force and effect, (ii) the liens and security interests of DMRJ in our property are released and terminated, and (iii) all our liabilities with respect to the Company Note are discharged.

Oil and Gas Operations

Working Interest, Dawson County, Texas

In May 2010, we entered into a participation agreement with SDX Resources, Inc (“SDX”) pursuant to which we purchased a 15% working interest in certain oil and gas leases located in Dawson County, Texas of which SDX was the lessee of record, for $108,397.

On October 4, 2012, we sold our oil and gas properties and related assets located in Dawson County, Texas for cash in the amount of $260,000. A loss was recognized on the transaction in the amount of $429,519 in the third quarter of 2012.

South Fork II Prospect, Clinton County Kentucky

On January 6, 2011, we entered into a Joint Venture with Ameratex Securities, in which we purchased a 4.5% working interest and 3% net revenue interest in three oil wells located in Clinton County, Kentucky for $41,250. We are receiving a small royalty from this project and plan no further investment in these wells. Management has determined that this oil and gas project is not material to the current business of the Company.

Mine Contracting Operations

Discontinued Operations

Our legacy skincare and pharmaceutical activities are reported as discontinued operations on the Consolidated Statement of Operations for all periods presented (see Note 16 of Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements for more information). As a result, we have determined that it is no longer appropriate to present a separate segment representing our operations in our skincare and pharmaceutical segment.

Recent Developments

In April 2012, we acquired a 70% interest in Coeur d’Alene Mine Contracting LLC (“CDA Mine Contracting”). CDA Mine Contracting is a specialized underground mine contractor which contracts with junior and potentially senior level mining companies and provides general underground mine labor on a contract basis as well as supervisory and consulting services. We began realizing revenue in August 2012 from this acquisition. We believe that over time CDA Mine Contracting can significantly grow the size of its labor pool and, as a result, provide substantial revenues to the Company. The market for underground mine labor is a very tight market and many mining companies have difficulty finding high quality, trained, competent mine laborers to build out their projects. We believe this tight labor market will continue for the foreseeable future. We paid $200,000 in cash and issued 3,000,000 options to purchase an equal number of our ordinary shares for our 70% interest in CDA Mine Contracting.

For detailed financial information, please consult our financial statements included in this Report.

The Annual General Meeting of Shareholders (the “Annual Meeting”) of the Company was held on November 3, 2012. At the Annual Meeting, the following proposals were approved by the Company’s shareholders:

To receive and adopt the Company’s annual accounts for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2011 together with the last director report and auditors’ report on those accounts;

To re-elect John P. Ryan and Howard Crosby as directors of the Company;

To reappoint DeCoria Maichel & Teague P.S. as the Company’s registered public accounting firm in the United States for the fiscal year ending December 31, 2012 at a remuneration to be determined by the Audit Committee of the board of directors of the Company (the “Board”).

To sub-divide each of the Ordinary Shares of 40 pence each in the capital of the Company in issue immediately prior to the commencement of the Annual Meeting or such other time and date as the Directors may determine into four ordinary shares of 1 pence each in the capital of the Company, having the same rights, being subject to the same restrictions and ranking on the same basis as the existing ordinary shares of 40 pence each in the capital of the Company (save as to nominal value), and thirty six deferred shares of 1 pence each, having the rights and being subject to the restrictions set out in the proposal below

To amend the Articles of Association of the Company by:

7.1 Inserting the following definition into Article 2: "Deferred Share means the deferred shares of £0.01 nominal value each in the capital of the Company with the rights as per Article 67.4" to be inserted after the definition of "Company"; and

7.2 Inserting a new Article 67.4 as follows:

67.4 Each Deferred Share in issue shall confer upon the holder such rights, and be subject to the restrictions, as follows:

67.4.1 Notwithstanding any other provision of these articles, a Deferred Share:

(a) does not entitle its holder to receive any dividend or distribution declared, made or paid or any return of capital and does not entitle its holder to any further or other right of participation in the assets of the Company; and

(b) entitles its holder to participate on a return of assets on a winding up of the Company, such entitlement to be limited to the repayment of the amount paid up or credited as paid up on such Deferred Share but only if the holders of each Ordinary Share then in issue shall have received a distribution of at least £1,000,000 per Ordinary Share held; and

(c) does not entitle its holder to receive a share certificate in respect of his or her shareholding, save as required by law; and

(d) does not entitle its holder to receive notice of, nor attend, speak or vote at, any general meeting of the Company; and

(e) shall not be transferable at any time other than with the prior written consent of the Directors,

We negotiated an agreement to acquire a sand and gravel lease covering prospective properties located on the Chippewa Indian Reservation (Turtle Mountain Band) in North Dakota. We believed that certain of the sands may have applications as fracturing proppant sands (“frac sands”). We believed there were ready markets for such frac sands, as well as conventional sand and gravel markets in Western North Dakota and Eastern Montana in the rapidly developing Bakken oil fields. The terms of the deal required us to pay a $200,000 initial, non-refundable payment while we undertook due diligence on the frac sand potential, as well as on the overall sand and gravel potential of the property. This payment was made in April 2012. We took approximately 2,000 pounds of sand samples from approximately 50 separate locations and shipped such samples to a specialty testing lab in Minnesota. The results did not indicate that the sands had significant potential as fracing sands. Further, we hired a specialized consultant familiar with sand and gravel operations to review the potential of the properties for conventional sand and gravel operations. The consultant determined that there was no commercial potential for sand and gravel sales within an economic radius of the potential quarries at that time.

Competition

We face significant competition in our mining business. Competition is particularly intense to acquire mineral prospects and deposits suitable for exploration and development, to acquire reserves, and to hire qualified and experienced human resources. Our competitors in mineral property exploration, acquisition, development, and production include the major mining companies in addition to numerous intermediate and junior mining companies, mineral property investors and individual proprietors. There is a limited supply of desirable mineral lands available for claim-staking, lease, or acquisition in the United States and other areas where we may conduct exploration activities.

Competition in the industry is not limited to the acquisition of mineral properties, but also extends to the technical expertise to find, advance, and operate such properties; the labor to operate the properties; and the capital for the purpose of funding such exploration and development. Many competitors not only explore for and mine, but conduct refining and marketing operations on a world-wide basis. Such competition may result in our company being unable not only to acquire desired properties, but to recruit or retain qualified employees or to acquire the capital necessary to fund our operation and advance our properties. Our inability to compete with other companies for these resources would have a material adverse effect on our results of operation, financial condition and cash flows.

Government Regulation

We are required to obtain licenses and permits from various governmental authorities. Given adequate funds, we anticipate that we will be able to obtain all necessary licenses and permits to carry on the activities which we intend to conduct, and that we intend to comply in all material respects with the terms of such licenses and permits.

If we proceed with the development of our current and future properties, we anticipate that we will be subject to increased governmental regulation. Matters subject to regulation include discharge permits for drilling operations, drilling and abandonment bonds, reports concerning operations, and pooling of properties and taxation. As we have not proceeded to the development of our properties, we have not incurred any expenditures related to complying with such laws, or for remediation of existing environmental contamination. The requirements imposed by such laws and regulations are frequently changed and subject to interpretation, and we are unable to predict the ultimate cost of compliance with these requirements or their effect on our operations.

Employees

As of December 31, 2012, we had five full-time employees, comprised of one employee at our corporate office in Coeur d’ Alene, ID, one employee at our accounting office in Spokane, Washington, one employee in Walla Walla, Washington, and two employees located in Pinehurst, ID.

Status as a Passive Foreign Investment Company

For U.S. Federal income tax purposes, an entity will be a “passive foreign investment company”, or a “PFIC”, for any taxable year if either (1) 75% or more of its gross income is “passive” income or (2) 50% or more of the value of its assets, determined on the basis of a quarterly average, is attributable to assets that produce or are held for the production of passive income. Passive income generally includes dividends, interest, royalties and rents not arising from the active conduct of a trade or business, and gains from the sale of assets that produce such income.

U.S. shareholders in an entity that is a PFIC in any taxable year are generally subject to tax at the highest ordinary income rates applicable to that U.S. holder and are required to pay interest on such tax based on the U.S. holder’s holding period in the shares, on (1) a portion of any gain recognized on the sale of such shares and (2) any “excess distribution” paid on such holders shares (generally, a distribution in excess of 125% of the average annual distributions paid by the entity in the three preceding taxable years).

Based upon advice from its outside professional tax advisors, we have determined that we were a PFIC during 2012 and 2011.

Mineral Properties

Iron Creek Project, Salmon, Idaho

In March 2011, we acquired 100% ownership of Iron Eagle Acquisitions, Inc (“Iron Eagle”) by issuing 8,150,000 ordinary shares valued at $0.78 or a total value of $6,357,000, of which $2,067,000 was allocated to the Iron Creek Project and $4,290,000 to Gray Eagle Copper Mine. As a result of the acquisition, Iron Eagle became our wholly-owned subsidiary.

Iron Eagle owns a mineral property called the “Iron Creek Project” consisting of seven patented mining claims of approximately 118 acres in Lemhi County, and 187 unpatented mining claims located 26 miles southwest of the town of Salmon, Idaho. Past work by previous operators has identified several mineralized zones of copper and cobalt, and numerous other exploration targets on the property that have not as yet been evaluated. Once funds are available, we plan to conduct drilling and sampling work on this property to further refine the mineral resources which have been identified by past exploration at this project.

Past work by previous operators has identified several mineralized zones of copper and cobalt, and numerous other exploration targets on the property that have not as yet been evaluated. However, extensive drilling, sampling, and geologic work have been done on two of the most advanced areas. In these areas, previous operators calculated tonnages and grades (which are non-43-101 compliant) contained in an area called the “No Name Zone.”

The first mineral resource of interest referenced in the literature is an underground target described by Noranda Exploration in a 1980 report as “two distinct lenses of cobalt mineralization”. The first lens was called a “reserve” and was estimated to contain 1,050,000 tons grading 0.61% cobalt and 0.3% copper and having a strike length of about 750 feet. A second lens of high-grade cobalt mineralization occurs to the northwest, and again is described as a “reserve”. This lens extends for 600 feet of strike length, is deeper than the first lens, and averages about 0.48% Co and 0.24% Cu. The authors estimated this resource to be around 229,000 tons.

The second area of major interest, also in the "No Name Zone" is described by Centurion Minerals in a 1988 report as containing at least 10,000,000 tons of open pit resources grading 2% Cu equivalent grade (accounting for the cobalt as a by-product). This number was based on over 20 diamond drill holes along approximately 5,000 feet of strike length and over 200 feet of width, at an average spacing of around 200 feet. The author of the report concluded that these resources could be classified as “possible” reserves (under an S.E.C. classification) and recommended an additional 30 holes be drilled to reduce the drill spacing to something less than 200 feet. Significantly more infill drilling will be required to upgrade and verify this mineral resource.

In order to expand the land package and cover more of the potential targets on the property, we staked an additional 187 unpatented mining claims in and around the seven patented claims; however, the unpatented claims were subsequently dropped due to lack of funding.

Additionally, we obtained permits during the summer of 2011 from the Forest Service to undertake sampling, induced polarization, magnetic surveys, and geologic mapping on the ground. These activities were undertaken during the field season of 2011. These activities confirmed the mineral zones as outlined in historic reports and identified several potential new zones of mineralization that were previously not recognized.

No additional work was done during the summer of 2012 due to lack of funding and no additional work is planned for 2013 unless funding is obtained.

Gray Eagle Copper Mine, Happy Camp, California

Iron Eagle also owns a mineral property called the Gray Eagle Copper Mine (“Gray Eagle”) which is a past producer of significant amounts of both copper and gold, consisting of approximately 294 acres of patented mining claims in Siskiyou County, the northernmost county of the State of California. Major production of valuable metals occurred during two different periods at Gray Eagle. Newmont Mining produced significant copper at the property in the 1940’s and Noranda Mining produced significant gold at the property in the 1980’s.

In the early 1990’s, a feasibility study was completed by Siskon Corporation which was reviewed by a major U.S. based mineral consulting firm which concluded that a mineral resource of just over 1.1 million tons of ore grading 2.59% copper and .027 ounces per ton gold using a 3.3 to 1 strip ratio, a copper cutoff grade of 1%, and recovery factors of 90% on copper and 30% on gold. If funding is obtained, we intend to confirm this resource and undertake additional drilling to further refine the mineral resources which have been identified by past work at this project, and to explore for undiscovered possible deposits in the area.

East Mullan Claims

ITEM 3.—LEGAL PROCEEDINGS

In the fall of 2010 Miller Tabak & Company, a New York based investment banking firm, filed a breach of contract action against the Company in New York Supreme Court seeking an amount of approximately $360,000 for alleged non-payment of a commission. On September 19, 2012, the Court granted Miller Tabak & Company’s summary judgment and ordered us to pay $250,000 plus statutory interest in the amount $56,219 and 133,333 ordinary shares. A loss of $350,219 has been recognized as an expense for the quarter ended September 30, 2012 for this judgment. As of December 31, 2012, the amount has not been paid; the ordinary shares valued at $42,297 were issued in November 2012. We have filed a Notice of Appeal with the Court.

Besides the legal proceedings mentioned above, we are not a party to any material pending legal proceedings.

ITEM 5.—MARKET FOR REGISTRANT’S COMMON EQUITY, RELATED STOCKHOLDER MATTERS AND ISSUER PURCHASES OF EQUITY SECURITIES

There is currently no established public trading market for our ordinary shares. Our American Depositary Shares (“ADS”), each representing one ordinary share and evidenced by one ADS, are quoted on the OTCQB under the symbol “SNKTY.” Trading of the ADSs in the over-the-counter market has been limited and sporadic and the quotations set forth below are not necessarily indicative of actual market conditions. These prices reflect inter-dealer prices without retail mark-up, mark-down, or commission, and may not necessarily reflect actual transactions. The depositary for these ADSs is The Bank of New York. The high and low bid prices for the ADSs for the periods listed below are as follows:

Fiscal Year Ended December 31, 2012


Fiscal Period	High		Low

First Quarter	$	0.68	$	0.51
Second Quarter		0.58		0.44
Third Quarter		0.48		0.21
Fourth Quarter		0.32		0.15

Fiscal Year Ended December 31, 2011


Fiscal Period	High		Low

First Quarter	$	0.98	$	0.63
Second Quarter		1.00		0.75
Third Quarter		0.93		0.64
Fourth Quarter		0.82		0.57

Holders

As of April 10, 2013 there were 69,956,372 ordinary shares outstanding and 209 holders of record of ordinary shares, one of which is The Bank of New York which holds ADSs representing 31,180,754 ordinary shares. The closing bid prices of our ADSs on April 1, 2013, were a high of $0.1999 and a low of $0.1999.

Dividends

Under the English Companies Act of 1985, a limited company may not declare or pay cash dividends while it has an accumulated deficit. On March 30, 2011, shareholders approved a reclassification of share premium to accumulated deficit for the UK Company. This reclassification, which has no net effect on the equity or financial position of the Company, was undertaken to create distributable reserves. On May 25, 2012, the reclassification was confirmed by the English High Court. Effective with this confirmation, we may now pay dividends or repurchase shares up to the level of the positive balance in accumulated profit and loss in the UK Company.

We have not paid, nor do we currently anticipate the payment of, any cash dividends on the ordinary shares. Any future determinations to pay cash dividends will be at the discretion of our Board of Directors and will be dependent upon our financial condition, operating results, capital requirements and other factors that our Board of Directors deems relevant.

Recent Sales of Unregistered Securities

We paid $200,000 in cash and issued 3,000,000 options to purchase an equal number of our ordinary shares for our 70% interest in CDA Mine Contracting. In addition, we also issued 200,000 options to a consultant in connection with the transaction. These securities were sold without registration under the Securities Act by reason of the exemption from registration afforded by the provisions of Section 4(a)(5) and/or Section 4(a)(2) thereof, and Rule 506 promulgated thereunder, as a transaction by an issuer not involving any public offering. Each of the two investors in this offering was an accredited investor as defined in Regulation D. Each investor delivered appropriate investment representations with respect to these sales and consented to the imposition of restrictive legends upon the stock certificates representing the shares and warrants. Each investor was afforded the opportunity to ask questions of our management and to receive answers concerning the terms and conditions of the transaction.

The securities sold in this offering were not and will not be registered under the Securities Act and may not be offered or sold in the United States absent registration or an applicable exemption from registration requirements.

ITEM 6—SELECTED FINANCIAL DATA

As a smaller reporting company we have elected not to provide the information required by this item.

ITEM 7—MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

Results of Operations

Overview of Operating Results

	2012			2011

Oil and gas revenue	$	64,447		$	110,279
Contracting revenue		280,219			-
Total revenue		344,666			110,279

Operating expenses		(2,472,691	)		(5,051,531	)
Operating loss	$	(2,128,025	)	$	(4,941,252	)

Net loss from continuing operations		(2,368,577	)		(5,468,149	)

Net income from discontinued operations		220,396			582,644

Net loss	$	(2,148,181	)	$	(4,885,505	)

During 2011 we focused our resources on changing our overall direction to the natural resources sector.

During 2012, revenue from oil and gas decreased as compared to 2011. Oil and gas revenue for 2012 was $64,447 down 42% from 2011. This decrease was attributable to the sale of our oil and gas working interest in October 2012. Additionally during 2012 we began receiving revenue from contracting.

The Company records compensation expense for stock awards granted. We incurred approximately $0 and $243,000 in stock based compensation operating expense for 2012 and 2011, respectively. In 2012 and 2011, 3,200,000 and 0 options for shares were issued, respectively.

Operating expenses in 2012 decreased by 51% from 2011. This is primarily due to a decrease in administration, sales and marketing expense and exploration expense. Additionally a write down of the long term receivable related to the March 2010 transaction in the amount of $1,455,584, a loss on settlement of notes and contractual rights receivable in the amount of $412,367 occurred in 2011.

	Summary of Exploration Costs

	2012		2011		% change in 2012 versus 2011
Oil & gas	$	32,731	$	140,729		(77	)%
Mining	$	328,340		327,749		-	%
Total	$	361,161		468,478		(23)	%

Exploration costs increased due to our acquisition of Iron Eagle Acquisitions, Inc, partially offset by a decreae in exploration costs attributable to oil and gas..

Administration, Sales and Marketing	Summary of Administration, Sales and Marketing

	2012		2011		% change in 2011 versus 2010
Administration, sales and marketing	$	1,474,818	$	2,713,263		(46	)%

For the years ended December 31, 2012 and 2011, the following administration, sales and marketing expenses were incurred:

Expense Category	2012		2011

Payroll, benefits and consulting	$	963,932	$	868,100
Stock-based compensation expense		-		243,406
Advertising and marketing		-		20,083
Legal and accounting		335,024		1,122,076
Travel and related		68,609		167,941
Rent and office expenses		66,900		128,782
Depreciation and other non-cash expenses		11,670		2,293
Other		28,683		160,582
Total	$	1,474,818	$	2,713,263

Administration, sales and marketing expenses decreased in 2012 as compared to 2011 primarily due to decreases in stock based compensation, professional fees, travel, and rent and office expenses and other expenses, partially offset by the increase in payroll, benefits and consulting and depreciation.

Other Income and Expense

Other income and expense in 2012 was a net expense of $240,552 compared to net expense of $526,897 in 2011. Interest income decreased in 2012, as compared to 2011, due to decreased cash and investment balances. Interest expense decreased in 2012, as compared to 2011. Also included in other income and expense in 2012 is a loss on judgment of $350,219 partially offset by other income of $100,079 and gain on forgiveness of debt of $39,780. Also included in other income and expense in 2011 is an impairment of an investment of $337,663.

Critical Accounting Policies

A “critical accounting policy” is one which is both important to the portrayal of our financial condition and results of operations and requires management’s most difficult, subjective or complex judgments, often as a result of the need to make estimates about the effect of matters that are inherently uncertain. Our significant accounting policies are described in the Notes to the consolidated financial statements included in this Form 10-K. Management believes that the following accounting policies fit the definition of critical accounting policies. The critical accounting policies were discussed with the entire board of directors of the Company.

Impairment of Long-Lived Assets and Goodwill

We review the carrying value of our long lived assets for impairment in value whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amounts may not be recoverable. Assessing impairment involves significant assumptions and estimates. These assumptions and estimates are based on our best judgments.

At least annually, goodwill is tested for impairment by applying a fair value based test. In assessing the value of goodwill, assets and liabilities are assigned to the reporting units and a discounted expected cash flow analysis is used to determine fair value.

Income Taxes

We have significant U.S. deferred tax assets, primarily due to net operating loss carryforwards. Pursuant to the “change in ownership” provisions of the Tax Reform Act of 1986, utilization of its net operating loss that carries over may be limited if a cumulative change of ownership of more than 50% occurs within any three-year period. We have determined that such a change in ownership has not occurred through December 31, 2010. As a result of the Iron Eagle acquisition that occurred in March 2011, we believe the Company may have undergone a change in ownership, but it has yet to perform an analysis of the transaction and the potential effect on its net operating losses (“NOLs”).

Management believes that due to lack of operating history and general uncertainty, it provided for a 100% valuation allowance against its entire deferred tax asset. Should our operating results indicate that its profitability is more likely than not to lead to the utilization of all or a portion of the deferred tax asset, it will reverse all or a portion of our valuation allowance. Subsequent changes to the estimated net realizable value of the deferred tax asset could cause its provision for income taxes to vary significantly from period to period, although its cash tax payments would remain unaffected until the benefit of the NOL is utilized, assuming that a “change in ownership” does not limit those losses.

Stock-Based Compensation

We record compensation expense for all awards granted. After assessing alternative valuation models and amortization assumptions, we have selected the Black-Scholes-option-pricing formula and amortization of compensation expense over the requisite service period of the grant. We will reconsider use of this model if additional information becomes available in the future that indicates another model would be more appropriate, or if grants issued in future periods have characteristics that cannot be reasonably estimated using this model.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

	2012			2011

Cash and cash equivalents	$	196,300		$	1,520,320
Current ratio		0.59			2.07
Decrease in cash and cash equivalents	$	(1,324,021	)	$	(194,376	)

During 2012, our principal sources of liquidity included cash and cash equivalents resulting from proceeds from the contracting services, sale of our oil and gas working interest, oil and gas royalties and license fees from discontinued operations. Management believes its cash, cash equivalents, short-term investments, sale or license fees from our legacy pharmaceutical products, distributions from our oil and gas projects, and timber sales from Iron Creek and Gray Eagle properties will be sufficient to meet our working capital needs for at least the next twelve months. We intend to raise new capital in the form of new equity or debt to further advance our mining projects. If we are not successful at raising new capital we intend to do no work on our mining projects, and invest no further capital in our oil and gas projects.

Net cash used by continuing operating activities totaled $1,749,938 and $1,854,893 for 2012 and 2011, respectively. The change is primarily attributed to the decrease in non-cash related loss in 2012 as compared to 2011.

Cash and cash equivalents decreased to $196,300 at December 31, 2012 from $1,520,320 at December 31, 2011, principally reflecting the net cash used by operations of $1,749,938 in 2012, partially offset by proceeds from the sale of equipment and oil and gas working interest.

The financial statements set forth in Part IV of this Report have been prepared in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles (“U.S. GAAP”) and are presented in U.S. dollars.

Off Balance-Sheet Arrangements

There are no off-balance sheet arrangements that have or are reasonably likely to have a current of future effect on our financial condition, changes in financial condition, revenues or expenses, results of operations, liquidity, capital expenditures or capital resources.

ITEM 9A—CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES

Evaluation of disclosure controls and procedures

The Company, under the supervision and with the participation of its management, including the Chief Executive Officer and the Chief Financial Officer, evaluated the effectiveness of the design and operation of the Company’s “disclosure controls and procedures” (as defined in Rule 13a-15(e) under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the "Exchange Act")) as of the end of the period covered by this report. Based on that evaluation, the Chief Executive Officer and the Chief Financial Officer concluded that the Company's disclosure controls and procedures were effective as of December 31, 2012.

Changes in internal control over financial reporting

There were no changes to the Company’s internal control over financial reporting identified in connection with the foregoing evaluation that occurred during the quarter ended December 31, 2012 that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.

Management’s annual report on internal control over financial reporting

Management is responsible for establishing and maintaining adequate internal control over financial reporting as defined in Exchange Act Rule 13a-15(f). The Company’s internal control over financial reporting is a process designed to provide reasonable assurance to its management and its Board of Directors regarding the reliability of our financial reporting and the preparation of financial statements for external purposes in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles that:

pertain to the maintenance of records that in reasonable detail accurately and fairly reflect the transactions 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 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. Therefore, internal control over financial reporting determined to be effective provides only reasonable assurance regarding the reliability of financial reporting and the preparation of financial statements for external purposes in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles.

Management assessed our internal control over financial reporting as at December 31, 2012 based on the criteria set forth by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission (COSO) in the report entitled “Internal Control--Integrated Framework.” Based on this assessment, management concluded that the Company’s internal control over financial reporting was effective as at December 31, 2012.

Code of Ethics

We have adopted a code of ethics that applies to our chief executive officer, chief operating officer and senior financial officer, in addition to our Code of Business Conduct, which applies to all employees, directors and consultants. Our website is currently under construction and our Code of Ethics and Code of Business Conduct will be available on our website at http://www.senetekplc.com. as soon as possible. In the event of any amendment to, or waiver from, the Code of Ethics, we will publicly disclose the amendment or waiver by posting the information on our website.

Our policies do not permit any of our employees, including our executive officers, to “hedge” ownership by engaging in short sales or trading in any derivatives involving our securities.

Change in Procedures for Recommending Directors

There were no material changes to the procedures by which our security holders may recommend nominees to our Board of Directors from those procedures set forth in our Proxy Statement for our 2012 Annual General Meeting of Shareholders.

Audit Committee

The Audit Committee is comprised of Kerry Dukes, Chairman and Anthony Williams. The Board of Directors has determined that all of the members of the Audit Committee are “independent” within the meaning of the listing standards of the NASDAQ Stock Market and applicable Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) rules and that Mr. Dukes is an “audit committee financial expert” by reason, among other things, of his experience as chief executive officer of a registered securities investment banking and broker-dealer firm and as an investment banker involved in over 20 registered public offerings of securities.

Shareholder Communications

The Company encourages stockholder communications to our board of directors and/or individual directors. Stockholders who wish to communicate with our board of directors or an individual director should send their communications to the care of Anthony Williams, Secretary, Independence Resources, PLC, 254 Hanley Ave, Suite A, Coeur d’ Alene, ID 83815.

Board Leadership Structure

In accordance with our Articles of Association, the Board elects our officers, including our Chief Executive Officer, Chief Financial Officer, and such other officers as the Board may appoint from time to time. The Board has not currently separated the positions of Chairman of the Board and Chief Executive Officer, and John P. Ryan currently serves as our Chairman and Chief Executive Officer. The Board does not believe that separating these positions is necessary at this time in light of the composition of the Board, the management team and our overall leadership structure, the experience of Mr. Ryan in overseeing our day-to-day business while overseeing the Board, and our current business strategy. Mr. Ryan has managed the competing demands for his time to effectively lead the Board and the management team. Combining the Chairman and Chief Executive Officer roles fosters clear accountability, effective decision-making, and alignment of corporate strategy. Our Articles of Association and corporate governance guidelines do not require that our Chairman and Chief Executive Officer positions be separate. The Board periodically considers whether changes to our overall leadership structure are appropriate.

Our Chairman is responsible for chairing meetings of the Board. In his absence, the Board may choose one of the Directors to chair the relevant meeting of the Board, and this tends to be our Vice-Chairman or the independent director present who has the most seniority. Our Chairman is also responsible for chairing meetings of shareholders. In his absence, the Board may appoint one of the Directors to chair the relevant meeting. That failing, the holders of Ordinary shares present and entitled to vote may choose one of their number to chair the relevant meeting.

Board’s Role in Risk Oversight

Risk is inherent with every business, and how well a business manages risk can ultimately determine its success. We face a number of risks, including strategic risks, enterprise risks, financial risks, regulatory risks, and others. Management is responsible for the day-to-day management of risks the company faces, while our board of directors, as a whole and through its committees, has responsibility for the oversight of risk management. In its risk oversight role, our board of directors has the responsibility to satisfy itself that the risk management processes designed and implemented by management are adequate and functioning as designed.

The Board believes that full and open communication between management and the Board is essential for effective risk management and oversight. Our Chairman meets regularly with our Chief Financial Officer, and other senior officers to discuss strategy and risks facing our business. Senior management attends board meetings and is available to address any questions or concerns raised by our board of directors on risk management-related and any other matters. The Board receives presentations from senior management on strategic matters involving our operations and holds strategic planning sessions with senior management to discuss strategies, key challenges, and risks and opportunities for our business.

While the Board is ultimately responsible for risk oversight at our company, our board committees assist our Board of Directors in fulfilling its oversight responsibilities in certain areas of risk.

Compensation Committee

Compensation Committee Practices and Procedures

The Compensation Committee of the Board of Directors, comprised solely of independent Directors, has the responsibility and authority to establish the compensation program for our Executive Officers. The Compensation Committee is comprised of Mr. Kerry Dukes (Chairman), and Mr. Anthony Williams.

In addition, the committee may also request independent compensation survey data and proxy information from companies similar in nature and size for comparative purposes. Our executives may advise the committee but play no role in compensation decisions. The committee reserves the right to also consider other unique factors in setting compensation levels and to adjust or recover for awards of payments if we adjust or restate performance measures in a manner that would reduce the size of an award or payment.

ITEM 13—CERTAIN RELATIONSHIPS AND RELATED TRANSACTIONS, AND DIRECTOR INDEPENDENCE

Mr. Anthony Williams, a Director of the Company, was a partner of the law firm DLA Piper US, LLP from November 2009 to March 2013. DLA Piper has rendered legal services to the Company. Legal fees paid to DLA Piper US, LLP in 2011 were $111,664. No amounts were paid to or accrued by DLA Piper US, LLP during 2012.

Wesley Holland, a former director, provided certain consulting services to us in connection with developing and marketing our life science technologies and products. Payments to Dr. Holland in 2012 and 2011 were $9,000 and $108,000, respectively.

On April 18, 2012, we entered into a Membership Purchase Agreement dated April 18, 2012, by which we purchased 70% of the ownership interest of Coeur d’Alene Mine Contracting LLC, a Delaware limited liability company (the “LLC”). These ownership interests in the LLC were acquired in equal proportions from Jeff Lambert and Steve Ivie, the sole members of the LLC. The purchase price for the 70% interest in the LLC was $200,000 and fully vested options to purchase 3,000,000 ordinary shares at $0.18 divided equally between Messrs. Lambert and Ivie. As a result of this transaction, the LLC is a majority owned subsidiary of our company.

Also in connection with the transaction, we entered into three-year full-time employment agreements with Messrs. Lambert and Ivie and appointed each as a Vice-President of Investor Relations for our company. As such they will also manage the business operations of the LLC. Unless otherwise terminated by one of the parties, each employment agreement will automatically extend for an unlimited number of one-year terms. The base salary for each of the employment agreements is $120,000. The employment agreements may be terminated at any time for cause and we may terminate either agreement without cause upon 90 days’ notice, in which event we are obligated to pay a severance benefit in an amount equal to two times the largest annual base salary received by the employee under the employment agreement if such termination occurs on or before one year from the agreement’s effective date, and one times the largest annual base salary if such termination occurs thereafter. Either employee may terminate his agreement at any time upon 15 days’ notice.

On April 23, 2012, we acquired 42 unpatented mining claims from Coeur d’Alene Contract Mining LLC, an Idaho limited liability company owned by Messrs. Lambert and Ivie. The purchase price was $100. The claims are located in Lemhi County, Idaho, and are currently in exploratory stage.

On April 23, 2012, Donna Miller accepted appointment as Chief Financial Officer (“CFO”) of the Company. Ms. Miller will receive a salary of $120,000 per year for her services as CFO plus health insurance benefits. Ms. Miller became an employee of the Company in June 2010 and has acted as controller for the Company until her acceptance of appointment as CFO. For 2011 the Company paid Ms. Street $90,000 in employment salary.

The audit committee of the Board is specifically authorized and directed in its written charter to review and approve all related party transactions that are required to be disclosed to shareholders pursuant to item 404(a) of Regulation S-K.

We generally do not engage in transactions in which our executive officers or directors or any of their immediate family members or any of our 5% stockholders have a material interest. Our Code of Business Conduct, which sets forth standards applicable to all employees, officers and directors, generally prohibits transactions that could result in a conflict of interest. Any change or waiver of our Code of Business Conduct for any executive officer or director will be disclosed, if and to the extent required by applicable law, rule or regulation as from time to time in effect, pursuant to a filing on Form 8-K or posted on our website (www.senetekplc.com) or any other means as may be required or allowed by applicable law, rule or regulation.

REPORT OF INDEPENDENT REGISTERED PUBLIC ACCOUNTING FIRM

To the Board of Directors and

Stockholders of Independence Resources PLC

We have audited the accompanying consolidated balance sheets of Independence Resources PLC (“the Company”) as of December 31, 2012 and 2011, and the related consolidated statements of operations and comprehensive income (loss), stockholders’ equity and cash flows for the years then ended. 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 audits in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States). Those standards require that we plan and perform the audits to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material misstatement. An audit includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements. An audit also includes assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall financial statement presentation. We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.

In our opinion, the financial statements referred to above present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of Independence Resources PLC as of December 31, 2012 and 2011, and the results of its operations and its cash flows for the years then ended in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.

The accompanying consolidated financial statements have been prepared assuming that the Company will continue as a going concern. As discussed in Note 2 to the consolidated financial statements, the Company has an accumulated deficit through December 31, 2012 and has limited cash at December 31, 2012. These factors raise substantial doubt about its ability to continue as a going concern. Management's plans in regard to these matters are also described in Note 2. The consolidated financial statements do not include any adjustments that might result from the outcome of this uncertainty.

NOTES TO THE CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

December 31, 2012

NOTE 1 – DESCRIPTION OF BUSINESS

Historically, Independence Resources PLC was a life sciences company engaged in the research, development and commercialization of technologies that targeted the science of healthy aging. In early 2010, after an extensive review by the Board of Directors of the Company and outside advisors, the Board elected to change the overall direction of the Company from these sectors to the natural resources sector.

During the second quarter ended June 30, 2012 the Company dissolved its 100% owned subsidiary in Denmark, Senetek Denmark ApS and recognized a loss of $30,245, which included $54,385 in cumulative translation adjustment that was reclassified from accumulated other comprehensive income (loss) to net loss.

NOTE 2 - SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING PRINCIPLES

Basis of Presentation

The consolidated financial statements incorporate the accounts of Independence Resources PLC and its wholly owned subsidiaries and all entities in which Independence has a controlling voting interest. All significant inter-company balances and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation. The accounts have been prepared in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles (“U.S. GAAP”).

Use of Estimates

The preparation of financial statements in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles requires management to make complex and subjective estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts in the Company’s financial statements and notes thereto. On a regular basis, management evaluates these estimates and assumptions. Actual results may differ materially from these estimates.

Examples of significant estimates and assumptions made by management involve revenue recognition, collectability of notes and accounts receivable; fair value of investments and stock compensation awards, realizability of deferred tax assets; and the impairment of long lived assets and goodwill.

The Company believes the estimates used are reasonable and appropriate based on current facts and circumstances. It is possible, however, that other parties applying reasonable judgment to the same facts and circumstances could develop different estimates. Additionally, changes in actual experience or changes in other qualitative factors could cause our estimates to fluctuate.

Cash and Cash Equivalents

For the purposes of the statements of cash flows and balance sheets, the Company considers any highly liquid investments purchased with a maturity of three months or less to be cash equivalents.

At times, cash balances may be in excess of FDIC insurance limits. The Company has not experienced any losses with respect to bank balances in excess of government provided insurance.

Going Concern

As shown in the accompanying financial statements, the Company had an accumulated deficit incurred through December 31, 2012. These factors raise substantial doubt the Company may be able to continue in existence in the absence of receiving additional funding. The financial statements do not include any adjustments related to the recoverability and classification of recorded assets, or the amounts and classification of liabilities that might be necessary in the event the Company cannot continue in existence.

NOTES TO THE CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

December 31, 2012

Investments in securities

The Company accounts for marketable securities as required by ASC 320 Investments – Debt & Equity Topic of the FASB Accounting Standards Codification. At acquisition, the Company classifies debt securities and equity securities into one of the following three categories

Held to Maturity – the positive intent and ability to hold to maturity. Amounts are reported at amortized cost, adjusted for amortization of premiums and accretion of discounts. Interest earned on these securities is included in interest income.

Trading Securities – bought principally for purpose of selling them in the near term. Amounts are reported at fair value, with unrealized gains and losses included in earnings.

Available for Sale – not classified in one of the above categories. Amounts are reported at fair value, with unrealized gains and losses excluded from earnings and reported separately as a component of stockholders’ equity. Realized gains and losses on the sale of securities are recognized on a specific identification basis. Unrealized gains and losses originally included in accumulated other comprehensive income are reclassified to current period net income (loss) when the sale or determination of an other than temporary impairment of securities occurs.

Management periodically review our investments for indications of other than temporary impairment considering many factors, including the extent and duration to which a security's fair value has been less than its cost, overall economic and market conditions, and the financial condition and specific prospects for the issuer. Impairment of investment securities results in a charge to income when a market decline below cost is determined to be other than temporary.

Revenue, Deferred Revenue and Accounts Receivable

Oil and gas revenues are recorded using the sales method. Under this method, the Company recognizes revenues based on actual volumes of oil and gas sold to purchasers.

The Company recognizes revenue from its mine contracting services, which are generally performed on an hourly basis, when services are performed and the customer accepts the work.

Property and Equipment

Property and equipment are stated at cost less accumulated depreciation. Depreciation is calculated on a straight line basis using the following estimated useful lives:

•

Office furniture fixtures and equipment: 3 to 15 years

•

Plant and laboratory equipment: 5 years

When assets are retired or sold, the costs and related accumulated depreciation is eliminated from the accounts and any resulting gain or loss is reflected in current period net income (loss).

Impairment of Long-Lived Assets

The Company reviews the carrying value of its long-lived assets for impairment in value whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of assets may not be recoverable.

Oil and Gas Properties

The Company uses the successful efforts method of accounting for oil and gas producing activities. Costs to acquire mineral interests in oil and gas properties, to drill and equip exploratory wells that find proved reserves, and to drill and equip development wells are capitalized. Costs to drill exploratory wells that do not find proved reserves, geological and geophysical costs, and costs of carrying and retaining unproved properties are expensed.

F-6

INDEPENDENCE RESOURCES PLC

NOTES TO THE CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

December 31, 2012

Unproved oil and gas properties that are individually significant are periodically assessed for impairment of value, and a loss is recognized at the time of impairment by providing an impairment allowance. Other unproved properties will be amortized based on management’s estimates of successful drilling and average holding period. Capitalized costs of producing oil and gas properties, after considering estimated dismantlement and abandonment costs and estimated salvage values, are depreciated and depleted by the unit-of-production method. Support equipment and other property and equipment are depreciated over their estimated useful lives.

On the sale or retirement of a complete unit of a proven property, the cost and related accumulated depreciation, depletion, and amortization are eliminated from the property accounts, and the resultant gain or loss is recognized. On the retirement or sale of a partial unit of proven property, the cost is charged to accumulated depreciation, depletion, and amortization with a resulting gain or loss recognized in income.

On the sale of an entire interest in an unproved property for cash or cash equivalent, gain or loss on the sale is recognized, taking into consideration the amount of any unrecorded impairment if the property had been assessed individually. If a partial interest in an unproved property is sold, the amount received is treated as a reduction of the cost of the interest retained.

Mineral exploration and development costs

All exploration expenditures are expensed as incurred. Significant property acquisition payments for active exploration properties are capitalized. If no minable ore body is discovered, previously capitalized costs are expensed in the period the property is abandoned. Expenditures to develop new mines, to define further mineralization in existing ore bodies, and to expand the capacity of operating mines, are capitalized and amortized on a unit of production basis over proven and probable reserves.

Should a property be abandoned, its capitalized costs are charged to operations. The Company charges to operations the allocable portion of capitalized costs attributable to properties sold. Capitalized costs are allocated to properties sold based on the proportion of claims sold to the claims remaining within the project area.

Mineral properties and interests

Costs of acquiring mineral properties are capitalized by project area upon purchase of the associated claims. Costs to acquire mineral interests are capitalized when paid. Costs to maintain the mineral rights and leases are expensed as incurred. When a property reaches the production stage, the related capitalized costs will be amortized, using the units of production method on the basis of periodic estimates of ore reserves.

Mineral properties are periodically assessed for impairment of value and any diminution in value.

Foreign exchange

All assets and liabilities in the balance sheets of foreign branches and subsidiaries whose functional currency is other than U.S. dollars are translated at period-end exchange rates. All income and expenditure items in the profit and loss account of foreign branches and subsidiaries whose functional currency is other than U.S. dollars are translated at average annual exchange rates. Translation gains and losses arising from the translation of the financial statements of foreign branches and subsidiaries whose functional currency is other than the U.S. dollar are not included in determining net income but are accumulated in a separate component of stockholders’ equity as a component of comprehensive income. Foreign currency transaction gains and losses are included in the determination of net income in the period in which they occur. The functional currency of the Company’s United Kingdom and Denmark operations is the Pound Sterling and Danish Kroner, respectively.

Earnings per share

Basic earnings (loss) per share are computed using the weighted average number of ordinary shares outstanding during the period. Diluted earnings per share incorporate the incremental shares issuable upon the assumed exercise of dilutive stock options and warrants using the treasury stock method.

F-7

INDEPENDENCE RESOURCES PLC

NOTES TO THE CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

December 31, 2012

Options and warrants totaling 23,761,676 and 20,592,932 shares were outstanding at December 31, 2012 and 2011, respectively, but were excluded from the calculation of diluted earnings per share as their effect would have been antidilutive. The prior year earnings per share changed due to the subdivision of shares in November 2012.(see Note 12)

Financial Instruments

The carrying values of cash and investments available for sale approximate their fair values at December 31, 2012. Fair value is the price that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date.

Fair Value Measurements

The Company discloses the following information for each class of assets and liabilities that are measured at fair value:

the fair value measurement;

the level within the fair value hierarchy in which the fair value measurements in their entirety fall, segregating fair value measurements using quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities (Level 1), significant other observable inputs (Level 2), and significant unobservable inputs (Level 3);

for fair value measurements using significant unobservable inputs (Level 3), a reconciliation of the beginning and ending balances, separately presenting changes during the period attributable to the following:

total gains or losses for the period (realized and unrealized), segregating those gains or losses included in earnings, and a description of where those gains or losses included in earnings are reported in the statement of operations;

the amount of these gains or losses attributable to the change in unrealized gains or losses relating to those assets or liabilities still held at the reporting period date and a description of where those unrealized gains or losses are reported;

purchases, sales, issuances, and settlements (net); and

transfers into and/or out of Level 3.

The amount of the total gains or losses for the period in (c)(1) included in earnings that are attributable to the change in unrealized gains or losses relating to those assets and liabilities still held at the reporting date and a description of where those unrealized gains or losses are reported in the statement of operations; and

In annual periods only, the valuation technique(s) used to measure fair value and a discussion of changes in valuation techniques, if any, during the period.

Income Taxes

The Company recognizes deferred tax liabilities and assets for the expected future tax consequences of events that have been included in the financial statements or tax returns. Accordingly, deferred tax liabilities and assets are determined based on the difference between the financial statement and tax bases of assets and liabilities using enacted rules in effect for the year in which differences are expected to reverse. The effect on deferred tax assets and liabilities of a change in tax rates is recognized in income in the period that includes the enactment date.

A valuation allowance is established to reduce the deferred tax assets when the Company determines it is more likely than not that the related tax benefits will not be realized. The Company periodically reviews the valuation of deferred tax assets in light of expected future operating results.

December 31, 2012

Stock Compensation Expense

The Company measures the stock-based compensation costs of share-based compensation arrangements based on the grant date fair value and generally recognizes the costs in the financial statements over the employee’s requisite service period. Stock-based compensation expense for all stock-based compensation awards granted was based on the grant date fair value.

Goodwill

Goodwill relates to the acquisition of CDA Mine Contracting (see Note 6). At least annually, goodwill is tested for impairment by applying a fair value based test. In assessing the value of goodwill, assets and liabilities are assigned to the reporting units and a discounted expected cash flow analysis is used to determine fair value. There was no impairment loss revealed by this test as of December 31, 2012.

Noncontrolling Interest

Non-controlling interest represents the portion of equity that is not attributable to the Company. The net income (loss) attributable to noncontrolling interests is separately presented in the accompanying statements of operations and other comprehensive income (loss). Losses attributable to noncontrolling interests in a subsidiary may exceed the interest in the subsidiary’s equity.

Reclassifications

Certain amounts from prior periods have been reclassified to conform with the current period presentation. These reclassifications have resulted in no changes to the Company’s accumulated deficit and net losses presented in prior periods.

The gross unrealized gain on securities was $19,765 and the gross unrealized loss was $111,130 at December 31, 2012. The Company assessed the unrealized loss at December 31, 2012 and determined it to not be other than temporary based on a review of the potential of the investment security. The Company is under no pressure to sell these remaining securities and intends to hold them at least until it recovers its cost basis.

The fair value of securities is determined by quoted market prices (Level 1 input).

NOTE 6 – ACQUISITION OF COEUR D’ALENE MINE CONTRACTING LLC

On April 18, 2012, the Company entered into a Membership Purchase Agreement dated April 18, 2012, by which the Company purchased 70% of the ownership interest of Coeur d’Alene Mine Contracting LLC (CDA Contracting). This ownership interest in CDA Contracting was acquired in equal proportions from Jeff Lambert and Steve Ivie, the owners of CDA Contracting. The purchase price for the 70% interest was $200,000 and options to purchase 3,000,000 ordinary shares divided equally between Messrs. Lambert and Ivie. The value of the options to be issued was determined to be $1,017,000 based upon a Black Scholes value of $0.339 on the date of acquisition. The assumptions used in the Black-Scholes option pricing model at April 18, 2012 using Level 2 inputs were as follows: (1) market price of $0.46; (2) strike price of $0.18; (3) dividend yield of 0%; (4) expected volatility of 64.2%, (5) risk-free interest rate of 0.86%, and (6) expected life of 5 years. As a result of this transaction, CDA Contracting is a majority owned subsidiary of the Company.

In connection with this transaction, the Company acquired 42 unpatented mining claims with a fair value of $41,000. The claims are located in Lemhi County, Idaho, and are currently in exploratory stage.

CDA Contracting was a newly formed entity which had not commenced principal operations or produced any revenues and had no material assets. It has engaged in contract mining activities for third parties since acquisition.

A summary of the acquisition is as follows:

NOTE 8 – NOTE AND CONTRACTUAL RIGHTS RECEIVABLE

On April 1, 2010, the Company consummated the purchase of $7.0 million of amounts owed to a partnership that was majority owned by Platinum Partners Value Arbitrage Fund L.P (“Platinum”), pursuant to outstanding notes (the “Notes) and contractual rights (the “Rights”, together with the Notes the “Platinum Claims”) for $5.0 million and an additional $360,000 in acquisition costs. The amount purchased represented 45.144% of Platinum’s holdings on the date of the transaction. The amounts were owed to Seller from a company called Firstgold Corporation and the main asset of Firstgold is the Relief Canyon Mine located near Lovelock, Nevada.

On August 22, 2011, Platinum purchased back the Company’s participation interest in the Platinum Claims at the price of $5,034,281 (the “Put Price”). The Company and Platinum agreed that the Put Price will be paid, in part, by application (by way of set-off) of amounts outstanding under the a secured promissory note (the “Convertible Note”) issued by the Company to DMRJ Group LLC (“DMRJ”), an affiliated entity of Platinum, on or about March 2010. The amounts owed to DMRJ pursuant to the Convertible Note totaled $2,876,790 (the “Convertible Note Amount”)(See Note 9). Additionally the Company and Platinum agreed to settle the balance of amounts that had been advanced by each party to the operations of the Relief Canyon Mine project (the “Net Project Advances”).

On September 1, 2011, the Company received from Platinum an amount equal to $2,535,689. As a result, as of September 1, 2011, (i) the Participation Agreement was deemed terminated and of no further force and effect, (ii) the liens and security interests of DMRJ in the property of the Company are released and terminated, (iii) all liabilities of the Company with respect to the Convertible Note were discharged, and (iv) the strike price of the warrants issued with the Convertible Note were repriced to $1.00. A loss of $412,367 was recognized on the transaction.

NOTE 9 – CONVERTIBLE DEBT

In March, 2010 the Company issued to DMRJ a secured, convertible promissory note in the amount of $3,000,000, bearing no interest and initially convertible into shares of the Company’s common stock at a rate of one share for each $1.25 of principal outstanding, with a maturity of 7 years. Additionally the Company issued 1,800,000 warrants with the note at an exercise price of $1.75 per share and a term of five years.

On November 9, 2010, the Company and DMRJ agreed to amend the terms of the currently outstanding $3.0 million convertible note issued pursuant to the Securities Purchase Agreement to (i) reduce the conversion price set forth in the Note to $0.70 (subject to further adjustment as currently set forth in the Note) and (ii) so long as the Note is unpaid and outstanding, if the Company enters into any subsequent financings on terms more favorable to an investor than the terms governing the Note, as determined by DMRJ, then DMRJ may exchange the Note for the securities issued or to be issued in connection with such subsequent financing. Other terms of the original convertible note remained the same.

The Company complied with the provisions of ASC 815 “Derivatives and Hedging”, and recorded the fair value of $2,141,818 for the embedded conversion option liability associated with the amended convertible note in 2010 with an offset to the carrying value of the debt.

In connection with the transaction described in Note 8, the convertible note was deemed paid in full in 2011. As a result, the fair value of the conversion option was written off and included in the loss recognized on the transaction. The fair value of the conversion option on the date of the transaction was $1,441,875, representing a decrease in the fair value of the liability of $36,795 during the period from January 1, 2011 to the transaction date. The assumptions used in the Black-Scholes option pricing model at September 1, 2011 using Level 2 inputs were as follows: (1) dividend yield of 0%; (2) expected volatility of 67.6%, (3) risk-free interest rate of 1.76%, and (4) expected life of 3.70 years.

NOTE 13 – INCOME TAXES

Independence Resources is incorporated in England with branch operations in the U.S. along with four U.S. subsidiaries. The Company is subject to United Kingdom corporation tax on a worldwide basis with relief for foreign taxes in cases where double taxation relief agreements have been established. The U.S. branch and U.S. subsidiaries are subject to United States tax only. U.K. tax law presently allows excess current year trading losses to be offset against trading profits of the prior year, without limit; and £50,000 of trading losses against trading profits in the two years preceding that. Since there are no taxable profits to offset in the preceding three years, for which relief is available, it will not be possible to carry-back U.K. tax losses arising in the 2012 period. The full amount will therefore be carried forward.

Domestic and foreign components of loss from operations before income taxes for the years ended December 31, 2012 and 2011 are as follows:

	Year ended December 31
	2012			2011

Loss from operations before income taxes included the following:
U.S. loss	$	(2,060,496	)	$	(4,245,552	)
Foreign income		(87,685	)		(639,953	)

Total loss	$	(2,148,181	)	$	(4,885,505	)

Our income tax provision (benefit) for the years ended December 31, 2012 and 2011 was zero due to the availability of net operating loss carryforwards.

Income tax provision or benefit differed from the amounts computed by applying the U.S. federal income tax rate of 34% to pretax loss from continuing operations as a result of the following:

	2012			2011
Computed expected tax benefit		34	%		34	%

NOTES TO THE CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

December 31, 2012

Included in Independence Resource’s net operating loss carryforwards are provisional tax losses available to the Company in the U.K., estimated to be approximately $51,895,000 as of December 31, 2012. The U.K. tax loss carryforwards are available indefinitely against profits from the same trade carried on in the U.K. The U.K. tax loss carryforwards could be limited if there was a greater than 50% change in ownership in any three year period.

At December 31, 2012, the Company has federal net operating loss carryforwards of approximately $26,114,000. Federal net operating losses expire at varying dates from 2013 through 2032. At December 31, 2012, state net operating losses are estimated to be $9,474,000. State net operating losses expire at varying dates from 2013 through 2022. Research and development tax credits of approximately $176,000 expire at varying dates from 2012 to 2029.

The Company is considered a loss corporation per Internal Revenue Code Section 382. In 2011, the Company experienced an ownership change as defined in Section 382 and therefore is limited in its utilization of U.S. NOL carryovers and other tax attributes at December 31, 2012.

During 2012 and 2011, the Company had no uncertain tax positions. The Company recognizes interest and penalties related to uncertain tax positions in the income tax provision. Interest and penalties are computed based upon the difference between its uncertain tax positions and the amount deducted or expected to be deducted in its tax returns. During 2012 and 2011, the Company did not accrue or pay for any interest and penalties.

The Company is subject to routine corporate income tax audits in the U.S. and the U.K. The statute of limitations for the Company’s 2010 through 2012 tax years remain open for U.S. purposes. The statute of limitations for the Company’s 2011 tax year remains open for U.K. purposes. NOL carryforwards generated in 1997 through 2011 remain open to examination by the major domestic taxing jurisdictions.

At December 31, 2012 and 2011, management did not consider it more likely than not that its net deferred tax assets would be realizable and, as a result, the Company has established a 100% valuation allowance against such assets. The net change in the total valuation allowance for the years ended December 31, 2012 and 2011 was increases of approximately $8,600 and $1,148,000, respectively. The change in the valuation allowance is primarily related to changes in the Company’s NOLs.
