These must be submitted by no later than 2pm (AWST) on Sunday 20 February 2022 to be valid. Even if you plan to attend the virtual Meeting, you are still encouraged to submit a directed proxy in advance of the Meeting so that your votes can still be counted if for any reason you cannot attend (for example, if there is an issue with your internet connection on the day of the Meeting).

2.5 Voting by proxy
You can appoint a proxy to attend and vote on your behalf as an alternative to attending the Meeting. You can appoint a proxy online at www.linkmarketservices.com.au. To log in, you will need your Shareholder number and the postcode for your shareholding.
To appoint your proxy via this website you will need to follow the instructions on the website and submit the appointment by 2pm (AWST) on Sunday 20 February 2022. A proxy need not be a Shareholder of the Company and may be an individual or a body corporate.
If you are entitled to cast two or more votes, you may appoint two proxies and may specify the proportion or number of votes each proxy is appointed to exercise. If you appoint two proxies and do not specify the proportion or number of votes each proxy may exercise, each of the proxies may exercise half of the votes.
Your proxy may only exercise your vote in the manner you have directed. If no direction is given, the proxy may vote as it sees fit, subject to any voting restrictions applicable to the proxy.
The Corporations Act places certain restrictions on the ability of Key Management Personnel ( KMP ) and their Closely Related Parties to vote on resolutions connected directly or indirectly with the remuneration of the Company’s KMP. For those reasons, Shareholders who intend to vote by proxy should carefully consider the identity of their proxy and consider appointing someone other than one of the KMP as those proxies may not be able to vote undirected proxies.
If you appoint the Chair as your proxy and do not direct him how to vote, you are providing authorisation for the Chair to cast your undirected proxy on all proposed Resolutions. This express authorisation acknowledges that the Chair may exercise your proxy in relation to Resolution 6 even though the Chair may have an interest in the outcome of this Resolution, since it relates to the remuneration of a member of the KMP. Votes cast by the Chair on Resolution 6 (other than as an authorised proxy holder) will be disregarded because of his interest (or potential interest) in the outcome of the Resolution.
2.6
Chair's voting intentions
Subject to Section2.5, the Chair intends to exercise all available proxies in favour of all Resolutions, unless the Shareholder has expressly indicated a different voting intention.
2.7
Submitting questions

Shareholders will also have the opportunity to submit questions during the Meeting in respect to the formal items of business. In order to ask a question during the Meeting, please follow the instructions from the Chair.
The Chair will attempt to respond to the questions during the Meeting. The Chair will request prior to a Shareholder asking a question that they identify themselves (including the entity name of their shareholding and the number of Shares they hold).

3. Resolution 1 – Approval of disposal of Tanzanian Coal Assets
3.1
General
On 25 November 2021, the Company announced that it had reached an agreement to transfer ownership of its 70% interest in Tancoal Energy Limited ( Tancoal ), which operates the Ngaka coal mine in south west Tanzania ( Tanzanian Coal Assets ), to Mirambo Mining Limited ( MML ) ( Proposed Transaction ). The Tanzanian Coal Assets are currently held via the Company's wholly owned subsidiary Intra Energy Tanzania Limited ( IETL ).
ASX confirmed that the Proposed Transaction involved a disposal of the Company's main undertaking and that in order for the Company to undertake the disposal it would first need to obtain Shareholder approval pursuant to Listing Rule 11.2. Further details regarding Listing Rule 11.2 is set out in Section 3.2.
The Company and Graeme Robertson (being the only shareholders of IETL) ( Sellers ), have entered into a share purchase agreement with MML, to record the terms and conditions upon which the Sellers have agreed to sell, and MML has agreed to acquire, title and interest in the Tanzanian Coal Assets ( SPA ). It is a condition precedent to the completion of the SPA that the Company obtain Shareholder approval for the disposal. A summary of the material terms of the SPA is in Section 3.3.
Resolution 1 seeks Shareholder approval pursuant to Listing Rule 11.2 for the Company to dispose of the Tanzanian Coal Assets.
3.2
Listing Rule 11.2
Listing Rule 11.2 requires a company to obtain shareholder approval in relation to a proposed transaction that involves a disposal of its main undertaking. The principle underlying Listing Rule 11.2 is that a disposal by a listed entity of its main undertaking is such a transformative transaction, and results in such a major change to the nature of the security holders' investment in the entity that, in all cases it is appropriate for security holders to have to approve it.
ASX generally applies a 50% "rule of thumb" in assessing whether a business constitutes the main undertaking of a listed entity. The Tanzanian Coal Assets comprise more than 50% of the Company's:
-
(a) consolidated total assets;
-
(b) consolidated annual expenditure;
-
(c) consolidated EBITDA; and
-
(d) consolidated annual loss before tax.
Page 9
The Company estimates the Proposed Transaction, in connection with the Placement at payment of associated costs) will have the following effect on the following metrics (with reference to the Company's audited accounts as at 30 June 2021:
| Metric | As at 30 June 2021 | Pro-forma amount | % Change |
|---|---|---|---|
| Consolidated total assets |
$9,871,000 | -$5,281,000 | -54% |
| Consolidated annual expenditure |
($21,691,000) | $20,403,000 | -94% |
| Consolidated EBITDA |
($6,485,000) | $5,318,000 | -82% |
| Consolidated annual loss before tax |
($8,210,000) | $7,036,000 | -86% |
Accordingly, the Proposed Transaction constitutes a disposal of the Company's main undertaking.
If Resolution 1 is passed, the Company will be able to proceed with the Proposed Transaction.
If Resolution 1 is not passed, the Company will not be able to proceed with the Proposed Transaction.
3.3 Summary of material terms of SPA
Pursuant to the SPA, the Sellers will sell 100% of the issued share capital in IETL to MML ( Sale Shares ), on the following material terms and conditions:
-
(a) Transfer Price : the amount payable by MML for the transfer of the Sale Shares is US$2,000,000, which includes settlement of loans from IEC to IETL. The Transfer Price is payable in two-equal tranches as follows:

4. Resolution 2 – Ratification of issue of Tranche 1 Placement Shares
4.1
General
On 25 November 2021, the Company announced a capital raising of $1,500,000 (before costs), for the issue of up to 187,500,000 Shares at an issue price of $0.008 each ( Placement ). The Placement is comprised of the following three tranches:
-
(a) 57,602,050 Shares issued on 3 December 2021, without disclosure to investors under Chapter 6D.2 of the Corporations Act ( Tranche 1 Placement Shares ) and a further 1,000 Shares issued under the Cleansing Prospectus in order to cleanse the Tranche 1 Placement Shares ( Cleansing Shares );
-
(b) the issue of up to 98,646,950 Shares, subject to the prior receipt of Shareholder approval ( Tranche 2 Placement Shares ); and
-
(c) the issue of up to 31,250,000 Shares to certain Directors of the Company, as follows:
-
(i) 15,625,000 Shares to Graeme Robertson (or his nominees); and
-
(ii) 15,625,000 Shares to Benjamin Dunn (or his nominees),
(together, the Director Placement Shares ).
On 3 December 2021, the Company issued the Tranche 1 Placement Shares using the Company's placement capacity under Listing Rule 7.1.
Resolution 2 seeks the approval of Shareholders pursuant to Listing Rule 7.4 to ratify the issue of the Tranche 1 Placement Shares.
4.2
Listing Rules 7.1 and 7.4
Broadly speaking, Listing Rule 7.1 limits the ability of a listed entity from issuing or agreeing to issue Equity Securities over a 12 month period which exceeds 15% of the number of fully paid ordinary Shares it had on issue at the start of the 12 month period.
The issue of the Tranche 1 Placement Shares does not fit within any of the exceptions to Listing Rule 7.1 and, as it has not yet been approved by Shareholders, effectively uses up part of the Company's placement capacity under Listing Rule 7.1. This reduces the Company's capacity to issue further Equity Securities without Shareholder approval under Listing Rule 7.1 for the 12 month period following the issue of the Tranche 1 Placement Shares.
Listing Rule 7.4 provides an exception to Listing Rule 7.1. It provides that where a company in a general meeting ratifies the previous issue of securities made pursuant to Listing Rule 7.1 (and provided that the previous issue did not breach Listing Rule 7.1), those securities will be deemed to have been made with shareholder approval for the purpose of Listing Rule 7.1.
The effect of Shareholders passing Resolution 2(a) and (b) will be to allow the Company to retain the flexibility to issue Equity Securities in the future up to the 15% additional placement capacity set out in Listing Rule 7.1 without the requirement to obtain prior Shareholder approval.
If Resolution 2(a) is passed, 57,602,050 Tranche 1 Placement Shares will be excluded in calculating the Company's 15% limit in Listing Rule 7.1, effectively increasing the number of
Page 13
Equity Securities it can issue without Shareholder approval over the 12 month period following the issue date.
If Resolution 2(b) is passed, 1,000 Cleansing Shares will be excluded in calculating the Company's 15% limit in Listing Rule 7.1, effectively increasing the number of Equity Securities it can issue without Shareholder approval over the 12 month period following the issue date.
If Resolution 2(a) is not passed, 57,602,050 Tranche 1 Placement Shares will continue to be included in the Company's 15% limit under Listing Rule 7.1, effectively decreasing the number of Equity Securities the Company can issue or agree to issue without obtaining prior Shareholder approval, to the extent of 57,602,050 Equity Securities for the 12 month period following the issue of the Tranche 1 Placement Shares.
If Resolution 2(b) is not passed, 1,000 Cleansing Shares will continue to be included in the Company's 15% limit under Listing Rule 7.1, effectively decreasing the number of Equity Securities the Company can issue or agree to issue without obtaining prior Shareholder approval, to the extent of 1,000 Equity Securities for the 12 month period following the issue of the Tranche 1 Placement Shares.
4.3

| Director | Amount committed to the Placement ($) |
Number of Director Placement Shares |
|---|---|---|
| Graeme Robertson | $125,000 | 15,625,000 |

6.2
Listing Rule 10.11
Listing Rule 10.11 provides that unless one of the exceptions in Listing Rule 10.12 applies, a listed company must not issue or agree to issue Equity Securities to any of the following persons without the approval of its Shareholders:
-
(a) a related party (Listing Rule 10.11.1);
-
(b) a person who is, or was at any time in the 6 months before the issue or agreement, a substantial holder (30%+) in the company (Listing Rule 10.11.2);
-
(c) a person who is, or was at any time in the 6 months before the issue or agreement, a substantial holder (10%+) in the company and who has nominated a director to the
Page 16
board of the company pursuant to a relevant agreement which gives them a right or expectation to do so (Listing Rule 10.11.3);
-
(d) an associate of a person referred to in Listing Rules 10.11.1 to 10.11.3 (Listing Rule 10.11.4); or
-
(e) a person whose relation with the company or a person referred to in Listing Rule 10.11.1 or 10.11.4 is such that, in ASX's opinion, the issue or agreement should be approved by its shareholders (Listing Rule 10.11.5).
Graeme Robertson and Benjamin Dunn are related parties of the Company by virtue of being Directors. Shareholder approval pursuant to Listing Rule 10.11 is therefore required unless an exception applies. It is the view of the Board (with Graeme Robertson and Benjamin Dunn abstaining) that the exceptions set out in Listing Rule 10.12 do not apply in the current circumstances.
Approval pursuant to Listing Rule 7.1 is not required for the issue of the Director Placement Shares as approval is being obtained under Listing Rule 10.11. Accordingly, the issue of the Director Placement Shares to Graeme Robertson and Benjamin Dunn (or their respective nominees) will not be included in the Company's 15% annual placement capacity pursuant to Listing Rule 7.1.
The effect of Shareholders passing Resolution 4(a) and (b) will be to allow the Company to issue the Director Placement Shares, raising $250,000 (before costs).
If Resolution 4(a) and (b) are not passed, the Company will not be able to proceed with the issue of the Director Placement Shares, and will not receive the additional $250,000 committed by the Directors.

-

-
(h) There are no other material terms to the proposed issue of the Director Placement Shares.
-
(i) A voting exclusion statement is included in the Notice.
6.4
Chapter 2E of the Corporations Act
In accordance with Chapter 2E of the Corporations Act, in order to give a financial benefit to a related party, the Company must:
-
(a) obtain Shareholder approval in the manner set out in section 217 to 227 of the Corporations Act; and
-
(b) give the benefit within 15 months following such approval,
unless the giving of the financial benefit falls within an exception set out in sections 210 to 216 of the Corporations Act.
The proposed issue of the Director Placement Shares constitutes giving a financial benefit to related parties of the Company.
The Board (with Graeme Robertson and Benjamin Dunn abstaining) considers that Shareholder approval pursuant to Chapter 2E of the Corporations Act is not required in respect of the issue of the Director Placement Shares because the Shares will be issued on the same terms as those Shares issued to non-related party participants in the Placement and as such the giving of the financial benefit is on arm's length terms.

The Board (with Graeme Robertson and Benjamin Dunn abstaining) recommends that Shareholders vote in favour of Resolution 4(a) and (b).

7.5 Additional information
Resolution 5 is an ordinary resolution.

8. Resolution 6 – Approval to issue Performance Rights to Benjamin Dunn
8.1
General
The Company is proposing, subject to obtaining Shareholder approval, to issue up to a total of 30,000,000 Performance Rights to Managing Director, Benjamin Dunn (or his nominee/s), on the terms and conditions set out in Schedule 4.
The Performance Rights provide an incentive component to Benjamin Dunn's remuneration package, and align his interests with those of Shareholders and the Company. The Board considers that the number of Performance Rights to be granted to Mr Dunn is commensurate with his value to the Company and is an appropriate method to provide cost effective remuneration. The Board believes it is important to offer these Performance Rights to continue to attract and maintain highly experienced and qualified Board members in a competitive market.
In line with the above, and subject to Shareholder approval, the Company will issue the Performance Rights to Mr Dunn in tranches on the occurrence of certain performance indicative circumstances on the basis of the following table.
| Circumstance | Number of Performance Rights issued |
|---|---|
| (a) Upon completing a successful acquisition of a new mineral tenement/asset/licence (b) Mineral exploration successfully triggering the payment of performance shares to the vendor |
(a) 2,000,000 (b) 4,000,000 |
Page 20
| Upon successful completion of a capital raising greater than $3,000,000 |
5,000,000 |
|---|---|
| The three (3) month volume-weighted average price (VWAP) share price of the Company remaining above $0.05 (market cap approximately $28,000,000) |
10,000,000 |
| The three (3) month VWAP share price of the Company remaining above $0.10 (market cap approximately $56,500,000) |
5,000,000 |
| The three (3) month VWAP share price of the Company remaining above $0.15 (market cap approximately $85,000,000) |
4,000,000 |
8.2
Listing Rule 10.11
A summary of Listing Rule 10.11 is contained in Section 6.2 above.
Benjamin Dunn is a related party of the Company by virtue of being Managing Director. Shareholder approval pursuant to Listing Rule 10.11 is therefore required unless an exception applies. It is the view of the Board (with Benjamin Dunn abstaining) that the exceptions set out in Listing Rule 10.12 do not apply in the current circumstances.
Approval pursuant to Listing Rule 7.1 is not required for the issue of the Performance Rights as approval is being obtained under Listing Rule 10.11. Accordingly, the issue of the Performance Rights to Benjamin Dunn (or his respective nominee/s) will not be included in the Company's 15% annual placement capacity pursuant to Listing Rule 7.1.
The effect of Shareholders passing Resolution 6 will be to allow the Company to issue the Performance Rights to Benjamin Dunn as set out in Section 8.1.
If Resolution 6 is not passed, the Company will not be able to proceed with the issue of the Performance Rights, and may need to arrange alternative remuneration for Benjamin Dunn to ensure that the Company can continue to attract and maintain highly experienced and qualified Board members in a competitive market.
8.3
Specific information required by Listing Rule 10.13
Pursuant to and in accordance with Listing Rule 10.13, the following information is provided in relation to the proposed issue of the Performance Rights:
-
(a) The Performance Rights will be issued to Benjamin Dunn (or his respective nominee/s).
-
(b) Benjamin Dunn falls into the category stipulated by Listing Rule 10.11.1 by virtue of being Managing Director of the Company.
Page 21
-
(c) A maximum of 30,000,000 Performance Rights will be issued to Benjamin Dunn (or his respective nominee/s) in the manner and form set out in Section 8.1 above.
-
(d) The Performance Rights are to be issued on the terms and conditions set out in Schedule 4.
-
(e) The Performance Rights will be issued no later than one month after the date of the Meeting.
-
(f) The Performance Rights will be issued for nil consideration.

-
(ii) a Director fee of $4,000 per month.
The Performance Rights, salary and Director Fee comprises the total remuneration package for Benjamin Dunn.
-
(h) Other than those stated, there are no other material terms to the proposed issue of the Performance Rights.
-
(i) A voting exclusion statement is included in the Notice.
-
8.4
Chapter 2E of the Corporations Act
In accordance with Chapter 2E of the Corporations Act, in order to give a financial benefit to a related party, the Company must:
-
(a) obtain Shareholder approval in the manner set out in section 217 to 227 of the Corporations Act; and
-
(b) give the benefit within 15 months following such approval,
unless the giving of the financial benefit falls within an exception set out in sections 210 to 216 of the Corporations Act.
The proposed issue of the Performance Rights constitutes giving a financial benefit to related parties of the Company.
The Board (with Benjamin Dunn abstaining) considers that Shareholder approval pursuant to Chapter 2E of the Corporations Act is not required in respect of the issue of the performance Rights because the Board (other than Benjamin Dunn) considers that the Performance Rights constitute 'reasonable remuneration' in the circumstances and therefore falls within the scope of the exception in section 211 of the Corporations Act.
