QUARTERLY ACTIVITIES REPORT December 2021

Tanzanian coal operations sold to local party for US$2m and assumption of debt

IEC granted licence ELA6305 for the Talowla Project at Louth, north of Cobar NSW

IEC continuing assessment of Ni-Cu-PGE exploration opportunity in WA

Negotiations continue to increase IEC stake in Mozambique

Capital raise successfully undertaken

The Board of IEC is pleased to provide Shareholders with the following Quarterly Activities Report for the quarter ending 31 December 2021.

It has been an active quarter for the Company as it works towards the Boards previously stated goal of transitioning the Company away from being an African focused coal producer into an Australian base and precious metals explorer and developer.

Following long and sometimes challenging negotiations, IEC reached an agreement with Mirambo Mining Limited, a Tanzanian company, to sell our interest in Intra Energy Tanzania Limited (IETL) for US$2m and the assumption of all debt. The deal was announced on 5 November 2021 and the first payment of US$1m immediately received. The balance of funds are payable upon the Company receiving both IEC shareholder approval (an EGM will be called early 2022 for shareholders to vote on the sale) and review by the Fair Competition Commission of Tanzania. IEC now has no further interest or activity in Tanzania.

In Australia, the Company has been actively assessing a number of exploration opportunities and in the Quarter was granted its first wholly owned licence: ELA630 at Louth in New South Wales. An initial field reconnaissance was undertaken by our Geologist, Mr Mark Arundell, as the first step toward an exploratory drilling campaign being undertaken in 2022.

The Company assessed other opportunities in the quarter, including a number of licenses in Western Australia, but no further agreements were reached during the quarter.

Negotiations continued with our partners in Mozambique over further investment in the Minas du Lurio gold project. Discussions are continuing and it is hoped that exploration can commence in 2022 after the monsoon season.

It was an active quarter for the company corporately, with the AGM held and the Company embarking on a share placement to raiseA$1.5m (less costs). The AGM was held successfully with all motions overwhelmingly passed and the capital raising oversubscribed.

AUSTRALIAN MINERAL EXPLORATION

The Board of IEC has over the last two years decided to remove itself from fossil fuels and instead focus on gold development in Mozambique and gold, copper and nickel exploration in Australia.

The Application was granted on land at Louth, north of Cobar NSW, with drill ready targets. The Lease will be 100% owned by IEC. The Talowla Project has potential for high-grade copper under shallow cover.

Discussions are underway with a WA exploration company for IEC to acquire a share in the exploration of a very interesting Ni-Cu-PGE project in WA which application is currently pending. Further concessions are being reviewed in Australia.

MOZAMBIQUE GOLD

Intrafrican Resources Limited (“Intrafrican”), a fully owned Mauritian subsidiary of IEC has invested in Intra Minerals Limited (“IML“), a company registered in Mauritius, which is the 95% owner of the Lurio Gold Project in Mozambique. Intrafrican is looking to increase its equity in IML by private placement and to also enable IML to continue the exploration programme in the Minas do Lurio Gold Project in Mozambique with a targeted drilling campaign.

Subject to ground conditions, drilling is anticipated to commence in the second quarter of 2022.

TANCOAL ENERGY

At the beginning of November IEC entered an Agreement to sell its 70% interest in Intra Energy (Tanzania) Limited (IETL), to a Tanzanian private company for US$2m. IEC has now handed control of the mine and operations over to the buyer via its sale of the stake in IETL.

During the month October 2021, Tancoal produce a total surveyed mined coal of 7,557 tonnes and 36,301 BCM of waste. Coal hauled from mine site to stockpile was 5,384 tons and coal sold from stockpile was 5,385 tonnes.

The mining actual against budget of coal mined for the Month October 2021 was below Monthly budget by 75% and actual overburden stripped was below Monthly budget by 70%.
