William W. Wells
President & CEO

To the Shareholders:

     I am pleased to invite you to attend the annual meeting of  shareholders on
April 12, 2002 at the West  Coast/Westbank  Convention Center, 475 River Parkway
in  Idaho  Falls,  Idaho,  from  10:00  -12:00  A.M.  Attached  is the  relevant
information  that should be evaluated in considering  the business to be brought
to the shareholders at the meeting.

     On behalf of the Board of  Directors,  I am pleased to announce  that March
21, 2002 has been  scheduled as the closing date for merger with two other Idaho
firms where Iron Mask Mining  Company (IMMC) will purchase these firms using its
common stock through merger  agreements.  These two firms are Western Technology
and Management,  Inc. and Intrepid Engineering  Services,  Inc., both located in
Idaho Falls, Idaho.  Western Technology and Management is a technology firm that
is managed by executives with several years of experience with  construction and
energy  development  activities.  Intrepid  Engineering  Services  is a  general
engineering  firm  that  employs  professional  engineers  licensed  in  several
engineering disciplines conducting work mostly for the federal government.

     The Board of  Directors  believes  this merger is a positive  event for the
Company.  It will allow the company to exploit the  engineering,  technology and
management  capabilities of these two companies to more effectively  develop the
many  mining  properties  existent  within  the  company  while at the same time
expanding  into  other  resource  areas  such as  renewable  energy  and  timber
products.

     In response to this merger, the Board of Directors is recommending that the
Company's  name be  changed  and that the  authorized  shares of the  Company be
increased  from its  present  level of  100,000,00  shares  of  common  stock to
135,000,00.  We have selected the name Intrepid Technology and Resources,  Inc.,
which we feel more  accurately  reflects  the true nature of the business of the
combined  companies,  i.e., a high technology natural resource company including
not only mining but also renewable energy resources and agriculture  processing.
The recapitalization  will better enable us to acquire additional equity through
private or public placements to fund the development of the Company's projects.

     Dr.  Dennis D. Keiser has been selected by the Board of Directors to be the
new  President  and  CEO of the  combined  companies.  He  brings  a  wealth  of
management experience,  especially in the renewable energy development area. His
many years as an  executive  with a Fortune  300 firm will also  provide the new
company with business leadership.

     On my behalf, I would like to express my sincere thanks for the opportunity
to have served as your  President and CEO. I take pride in the fact that I, with
the rest of the Board of Directors,  have been  successful in moving the company
in a positive  direction  in  bringing  added value to the  shareholders  of the
company.

Sincerely yours,

/s/ William W. Wells

          December 31, 2001.

     All reports and documents  filed by the Company  pursuant to Section 13, 14
or 15(d) of the Exchange Act, after the date of this Proxy  Statement,  shall be
deemed to be incorporated  by reference  herein and to be a part hereof from the
respective  date  of  filing  such  documents.  Any  statement  incorporated  by

modified or superseded shall not be deemed, except as so modified or superseded,
to constitute part of this Proxy Statement.

delivered,  on the written  request of any such person,  a copy of any or all of

5.   Director Compensation

     Compensation  awarded  to  Directors  of the  Company  is  listed  below in
response to question 7, "Remuneration and Executive Compensation."


6.   Compliance with Section 16(a)

     Section  16(a)  of the  Securities  Exchange  Act of 1934 as  amended  (the
"Exchange Act") requires the Company's  directors,  officers and persons who own
more than 10 percent of a registered class of the Company's  equity  securities,
to file reports of ownership and changes in ownership  with the  Securities  and
Exchange Commission ("the Commission").  Directors, officers and greater than 10
percent beneficial owners are required by applicable  regulations to furnish the
Company  with  copies of all forms  they file with the  Commission  pursuant  to
Section 16(a).  The Company has one shareholder  whose  beneficial  ownership is
greater than 10 percent of its  registered  Common Stock for purposes of Section
16(a).

     Based  solely  upon a review of the  copies of the forms  furnished  to the
Company,  the Company  believes that during fiscal 2001 all filing  requirements
applicable to its directors and executive  officers were satisfied but that said
directors and  executive  officers are not  currently  fully in compliance  with
regard to the current fiscal year..


7.   Remuneration and Executive Compensation

     During  fiscal  2001  no  compensation  was  awarded  or paid to any of the
directors or officers of the Company.  ("named Executive Officers").  Other than
as indicated in the table below,  no executive  officer of the Company  received
any annual compensation in the year ended June 30, 2001.

NOT APPLICABLE.



     All of the  foregoing  amounts  are  estimates  based  upon  the  Company's
internal  forecast  and budget.  There can be no  assurance  that the amounts of
compensation  actually paid, or the persons to whom it is paid,  will not differ
materially from the above estimates.

                                 PROPOSAL NO. 2:
       CHANGE OF CORPORATE NAME TO INTREPID TECHNOLOGY AND RESOURCES, INC.

     The Board of Directors  recommends  that change of the corporate  name from
Iron Mask Mining Company to Intrepid Technology And Resources, Inc. The proposed
change  of name  will more  accurately  reflect  the  changing  dynamics  of the
Company's  business  and  business  opportunities.  The  change of name will not
engender a change of the trading symbol,  which will remain "IMKG". The proposed
resolution reads:

     RESOLVED,  that  the  name  of  this  company  be  amended  to be  INTREPID
TECHNOLOGY AND RESOURCES, INC.



THE  BOARD  OF  DIRECTORS  RECOMMENDS  A  VOTE  FOR  CHANGING  THE  NAME  OF THE
CORPORATION TO INTREPID TECHNOLOGY AND RESOURCES, INC.





                                 PROPOSAL NO. 3:
               INCREASE OF AUTHORIZED SHARES TO 135,000,000 SHARES

     The Board of Directors  recommends the increase in the authorized shares of
the Company from 100,000,000  shares to 135,000,000.  The proposed increase will
provide  added  flexibility  for the  financing  that Company will be seeking to
pursue its various projects, post-merger. The proposed resolution reads:

     RESOLVED,  that the  authorized  shares of common  stock of this company be
135,000,000 shares.



THE BOARD OF DIRECTORS RECOMMENDS A VOTE FOR INCREASING THE AUTHORIZED SHARES OF
THE COMPANY TO 135,000,000.




                                 PROPOSAL NO. 4
RATIFICATION OF MERGER AGREEMENTS WITH INTREPID ENGINEERING SERVICES, INC. AND
                     WESTERN MANAGEMENT AND TECHNOLOGY, INC.


     The Board of Directors  has approved and executed  merger  agreements  with
Intrepid Engineering Services, Inc. and Western Technology And Management, Inc.,
copies of which are  attached  hereto.  The mergers are expected to be completed
prior to the annual meeting of shareholders.  Although shareholders' approval of
the  mergers  is not  required  by law,  the Board of  Directors  are giving the
shareholders  an  opportunity  to ratify  the  mergers  pursuant  to the  merger
agreements by this vote. The proposed resolution reads:

     RESOLVED,  that  the  mergers  of the  Company  with  Intrepid  Engineering
Services, Inc. and Western Technology And Management,  Inc. made pursuant to the
terms of the respective  Merger  Agreements  executed by the Company on or about
March 1, 2002, be, and the same are, ratified.

                                 PROPOSAL NO. 5
                 ABROGATION OF PREEMPTIVE RIGHTS OF SHAREHOLDERS


     The Board of Directors  recommends the amendment of the company's  Articles
Of Incorporation  to specifically  abrogate any and all preemptive  rights.  The
Board Of Directors believes that such action was taken on or about May 24, 1980,
but the language of the  Articles Of  Amendment  are less than perfect to dispel
all doubts. Accordingly,  the Directors believe new Articles Of Amendment should
be enacted with language crafted by legal counsel to assure that no argument can
be made that any preemptive rights still obtain. The proposed resolution reads:

     WHEREAS,  Articles Of  Amendment  were filed on or about May 24, 1980 which
appear to have abrogated any previous preemptive rights in shareholders; and

     WHEREAS,  said Articles Of Amendment were couched in language that could be
improved to fully convey the intentions of the shareholders both then and now;

     NOW,  THEREFORE,  BE IT  RESOLVED,  that the Articles Of  Incorporation  be
amended specifically to abrogate all preemptive rights.



THE  BOARD  OF  DIRECTORS  RECOMMENDS  A  VOTE  FOR  AMENDING  THE  ARTICLES  OF
INCORPORATION TO ABROGATE ANY PREEMPTIVE RIGHTS OF SHAREHOLDERS.





                                 PROPOSAL NO. 6

Ruland  Williams,  CPA, whose business  address is 261 A St. Idaho Falls,  Idaho
83401,  to act as the principal  accountant  for 2002.  The proposed  resolution
reads:

     RESOLVED,  that Mr.  Ruland  Williams,  CPA, be  ratified as the  principal
accountant of the Company for 2002.



THE  BOARD  OF  DIRECTORS  RECOMMENDS  A VOTE  FOR  RATIFICATION  OF MR.  RULAND
WILLIAMS, CPA, AS PRINCIPAL ACCOUNTANT FOR THE COMPANY DURING 2002.
