                AND UPON the Applicant representing to the Commission as follows:

1.             The Applicant was incorporated under the former Company Act (British Columbia) under the name Daer Gold Mines Ltd. on December 21, 1987 and transitioned under the British Columbia Business Corporations Act on April 26, 2004.

4.             The Applicant is a reporting issuer under the Securities Act (British Columbia) (the BC Act) and the Securities Act (Alberta) (the Alberta Act).

5.             The British Columbia Securities Commission is the principal regulator for the Applicant and will continue to be the principal regulator for the Applicant once it has obtained reporting issuer status in Ontario.

6.             As of the date hereof, the Applicant is not on the list of defaulting reporting issuers maintained pursuant to the BC Act or the Alberta Act, and is not in default of any of its obligations under the BC Act or the Alberta Act or the rules and regulations made thereunder.

7.             The Applicant is not currently a reporting issuer or the equivalent in any jurisdiction in Canada other than British Columbia and Alberta.

10.          The Applicant’s Common Shares are listed and posted for trading on the TSX Venture Exchange (TSX-V) under the symbol “IPT” and on the Frankfurt Stock Exchange under the symbol “IKL”. The Applicant’s securities are not traded on any other stock exchange or trading or quotation system.

11.          The Applicant is not in default of any of the rules, regulations or policies of the TSX-V or the Frankfurt Stock Exchange.

(a)           any known ongoing or concluded inves-tigation by a Canadian securities regulatory authority, or a court or regulatory body, other than a Canadian securities regulatory authority, that would be likely to be considered important to a reasonable investor making an investment decision; or

(b)           any bankruptcy or insolvency proceed-ings, or other proceedings, arrangement or compromises with creditors, or the appointment of a receiver, receiver manager or trustee, within the preceding 10 years.

(b)           any bankruptcy or insolvency proceed-ings, or other proceedings, arrangements or compromises with creditors, or the appointment of a receiver, receiver manager or trustee, within the preceding 10 years.

                AND UPON the Commission being satisfied that to do so is in the public interest;

                IT IS HEREBY ORDERED pursuant to clause 1(11)(b) of the Act that the Applicant is a reporting issuer for the purposes of Ontario securities law.

                DATED this 6th day of October, 2017.
