Increase of Tancoal Working Capital Facility
Intra Energy Corporation Limited (ASX: IEC) is pleased to announce that KCB Bank Tanzania Limited (“KCB Bank”) has agreed to increase the current working capital facility to Tancoal Energy Limited (“Tancoal”) by USD 800,000.
The Government of Tanzania’s ban on the import of coal (refer ASX Announcement on 12 August 2016), has resulted in increased sales orders and the indications are that orders will increase steadily over the next few months. KCB has supported Tancoal by providing the working capital to increase production to enable the Company to supply the orders.
KCB Bank is Eastern African’s largest banking institution with an asset base of USD 5.045 Billion, a market capitalization USD 704.5 Billion and broad regional distribution in six Eastern Africa countries. IEC has a joint venture with National Development Corporation of Tanzania. Tancoal is the leading supplier of coal to the industrial markets in the Eastern African region.
