Dear Sir/Madam
INTRA ENERGY INCREASES DEBT FACILITIES TO FUND MINE EXPANSION
On 23 October 2012, Intra Energy Corporation Limited (ASX:IEC) announced that two of the Group’s subsidiary companies in Tanzania, Tancoal Energy Limited (“Tancoal”) and AAA Drilling Limited (“AAA Drilling”), each entered into a Term Loan Facility (“Loan Facility”), for $2.5m and $1.4m respectively, with the National Bank of Commerce in Tanzania (“NBC”) (ultimately controlled by Barclays Bank Plc).
Each Loan Facility is secured against plant and equipment. As at 30 September 2013 AUD$3,496m has been drawn down on the Tancoal Loan Facility. The Loan Facilities are amortised over a three (3) year term and principal and interest repayments are made monthly.
We are pleased to announce that the NBC has approved an increase in the Tancoal Loan Facility from US$2.5m to US$3.5m (maintaining the interest rate of 8% per annum). In addition, NBC approved a US$500,000 Working Capital Facility and Letter of Credit Facility of US$450,000 at the interest rate of 8% per annum.
The additional funding under the Loan Facility will be allocated to the expansion of the Kitai Stockpile, including the acquisition of a new wheel loader and a dewatering pump.
The Working Capital Facility is available to support the monthly working capital cycle of Tancoal. The Letter of Credit facility allows Tancoal to accept and cash letters of credit from its customers, providing credit security.
