Re:   American Depositary Receipts for ordinary shares of Ironbark Gold Limited
      -------------------------------------------------------------------------

Ladies and Gentlemen:

      We refer to the registration statement to be filed on Form F-6 under the
Securities Act of 1933 (the "Registration Statement") by the legal entity
created by the agreement (the "Deposit Agreement") for issuance of American
Depositary Shares ("ADSs") which may be evidenced by American Depositary
Receipts ("ADRs") for ordinary shares of Ironbark Gold Limited for which you
propose to act as Depositary.

      We are of the opinion that the ADSs covered by the Registration Statement,
when issued in accordance with the terms of the Deposit Agreement, will, when
sold, be legally issued and will entitle the holders thereof to the rights
specified in the Deposit Agreement and the ADRs.

      This opinion may be used by you as an exhibit to the Registration
Statement.

                                                 Very truly yours,

                                                 /s/ Emmet, Marvin & Martin LLP
                                                 ------------------------------
