Share Purchase Plan

Intec Ltd (ASX code: INL, or the Company) has today launched its Share Purchase Plan (SPP) which provides the opportunity for eligible INL shareholders to purchase up to A$15,000 worth of INL shares (the 'Shares') at a price of 1.5 cents per Share. Details of the SPP are contained in the earlier-announced letters of offer (the 'Offer') dated Friday 8 May 2009 (and related personalised application forms) which are expected to be mailed to eligible INL shareholders early next week (see attachment). The right to participate in the Offer is open to INL shareholders whose registered address is in Australia, New Zealand and in any other jurisdiction in which it is lawful for the Company to offer the Shares under this SPP.

The Offer is available to INL shareholders who were on the Company's share register on the record date of Tuesday 5 May 2009.

Secondary Trading Exemption

The Company hereby notifies ASX under Paragraph 708A(5)(e) of the Act that:

• a) the Company will issue the Shares without disclosure to investors under Part 6D.2 of the Act;
• b) as at the date of the Offer, the Company has complied with the provisions of Chapter 2M of the Act as they apply to the Company, and Section 674 of the Act; and

Share Purchase Plan

Dear Intec Shareholder

Operations Review

Intec has recently announced agreements with three separate companies to progress metalliferous waste treatment opportunities.

In March 2009 we announced a commercial agreement with Automotive Components Limited Group (ACL) to utilise our Burnie Research Facility to treat approximately 100,000 litres of heavy metal-bearing waste sludge from ACL's bearings plant in Launceston, Tasmania (see Figures 1 and 2).

Intec then announced in April 2009 that it had signed a Memorandum of Understanding with Ausmelt Limited to evaluate the potential for using Ausmelt's Whyalla smelter to treat electric arc furnace (EAF) dust and other zinc-bearing feed materials (see Figure 3). Although Intec's 35,000 tonnes stockpile of EAF dust contains an average >27% zinc and therefore substantial contained metal value, it remains a prescribed waste (requiring lodgement of environmental bonds) until successfully treated. It would thus be advantageous for Intec to process the EAF dust at Whyalla into saleable zinc fume product at the earliest available

opportunity, with the resultant recovery of A$4.4 million in associated bonds defraying some of the transportation and treatment costs. Additionally, the Whyalla plant would then be well-placed to treat ongoing EAF dust arisings from the Australasian steel industry together with other identified zinc-bearing oxide feedstocks.

Although commercial terms of a potential Whyalla transaction

Figure 2: Mineral sulphide product from Intec's Burnie recycling operations

Figure 3: Ausmelt Whyalla plant

have not been negotiated, it should be noted that transaction and start-up costs would necessitate raising additional project capital at the appropriate time.

Finally earlier in this month of May 2009, we announced the signing of a Memorandum of Understanding with GB Galvanizing Service Pty. Ltd. (GBG) for a technology optimisation and design programme, followed by the construction of a dedicated facility on-site with GBG in Victoria for the recycling of approximately one million litres per annum of spent zinc-bearing pickle liquor (see Figure 4). The A$2 million programme of works is contingent upon the successful outcome of a pending application for partial funding by the Victorian Government EPA's Hazwaste Fund, but the programme requires no funding from Intec.

These three projects producing metal products from waste treatment, as well as further similar initiatives currently progressing through our project pipeline, may be viewed as lower-hurdle opportunities for Intec, given the adverse global financial conditions currently affecting metallurgical projects in the wider mining, minerals processing and waste management industries.

Last year these adverse conditions directly impacted Intec's zinc/lead operation at Hellyer, which was among numerous Australian zinc operations which ceased or reduced output in response to the then historic lows in the $A zinc price. The difficult decision in September 2008 to put the Hellyer Mill on care and maintenance deprived Intec of its earlier principal source of cash flow, and so over the last six months Intec has had to sell approximately A$13 million of assets (comprising primarily A$10 million for the sale of the Hellyer assets (A$5 million in cash, A$5 million deferred), A$2.25 million for Intec's 23% shareholding in Bass Metals, plus A$0.75 million for reagents and sundry items) just to meet Hellyer closure costs, to maintain reduced operations and to retire Intec's A$5 million working capital facility with Macquarie Bank. At the same time Intec has implemented a series of economy measures including 15% across-the-board salary reductions for all directors and staff and regrettably some lay-offs of our employees. These measures will have reduced Intec's average quarterly rate of expenditure by over 50% since the September 2008 Quarter, while maintaining key corporate, but reduced technical and operational capabilities.

In the light of the wider challenges facing our direct efforts to finance the proposed site acquisition at Newcastle for implementation of the Intec Metals Recycling Project, Intec is instead now supporting other potential project partners who have more readily available funds to purchase the site (at a lower cost) directly from the Vendor, by integrating our business ideas for the site with those of the prospective purchasers.

Following a period of declining testwork activity for third-party clients due to suspension of various projects, Intec is now hopeful of paid testwork and development for certain restarting projects, particularly the Browns Sulphide Project (owned by Compass Resources Ltd and Hunan Nonferrous Metals Corporation) and another base metals project in Iran.

However, it is principally by successful implementation of the first-mentioned commercial agreements in the metalliferous waste treatment sector, that Intec intends to rebuild cash flows during 2009 and 2010, and thereby to support the Company and carry it forward as the minerals sector improves.

John Moyes, Intec's Technical Director at the Burnie Research Facility

Share Purchase Plan (SPP)

As previously announced on 30 April 2009, Intec's Board of Directors has resolved to undertake a SPP for existing INL shareholders at a price of A$0.015 per share. This represents a 32% discount to the A$0.022 INL market price at the time of announcing the SPP and is the lowest share issue

price in the history of Intec (see share price chart in Figures 5 and 6). The SPP issue price thus reflects the recent adverse financial and operational environment for our Company, but is intended to provide a sound basis and level from which the Company will work towards operational and share price recovery.

The SPP allows all of the Company's shareholders (as at the defined record date of Tuesday 5 May 2009) to acquire additional INL shares directly issued

Figure 5: Intec Share Price & Trading Volumes since Listing

by the Company without brokerage or stamp duty costs. The maximum investment per registered shareholder is A$15,000, representing 1,000,000 INL shares. The minimum investment is A$600, representing 40,000 shares. Shareholders may apply for any number of shares between these limits on the enclosed Application Form.

All of the INL Directors will be participating in the SPP. An indicative timetable for completion of the SPP is set out below.

Tuesday 5 May 2009	Record date to participate in the SPP
Friday 8 May 2009	Date of SPP documents to be posted to eligible shareholders
Friday 12 June 2009	SPP Closing Date
Friday 19 June 2009	Issue and allotment of SPP shares, Appendix 3B New Issues
	Announcement and second Section 708A Notice
Monday 22 June 2009	Commencement of trading in SPP shares

Additional Information

If you decide to participate in the SPP, please make payment by BPAY or return your completed Application Form in the enclosed reply-paid envelope, together with your cheque or credit card authorisation representing your nominated investment amount, by the Closing Date of 12 June 2009.

Shares allotted under the SPP are expected to be issued no later than 19 June 2009. The rights attaching to the SPP Shares are identical in all respects to the existing ordinary shares in the capital of the Company and the SPP shares will be listed on the ASX forthwith.

Use of Funds

The funds to be raised, through the SPP and the intended concurrent placement of INL shares to eligible investors, will be used principally to advance the metalliferous waste treatment activities described above.

Whilst the Board has every confidence in the future of the Company, we must point out that owning shares in a company such as Intec is regarded as a speculative form of investment. Shareholders should be aware there is a risk that the market price of the shares may change between the date of this offer and the date when the new shares are issued to you under the SPP. The value of the shares you receive may rise or fall accordingly.

For more information about Intec's strategies and operations, please feel welcome to contact our Corporate Development Manager Dave Sammut, and for procedural issues related to the SPP, please contact our Administration Officer Elizabeth Psarris, both in Intec's North Sydney office.

Placement

In addition to the SPP, Intec's Board recently further approved a placement (at its discretion) of a maximum of an additional 15% of the Company's presently issued shares at 1.5 cents per share to selected and/or selfnominating eligible placees, within the anticipated month-long period during which the SPP remains open. If, in addition to investing in the SPP, you or your associates would like also to participate in the concurrent placement,

Figure 6: Intec Share Price & Trading Volumes over the last 12 months, noting significant announcements

particularly if you are a larger shareholder that wishes to avoid being diluted by the SPP, please advise the Company as soon as possible, because placement applications will generally be dealt with on a 'first-come, first-served' basis.

While preference in the placement will be given where possible to existing Intec shareholders, it is also Intec's intention to introduce new investors into the Company, whose own activities complement those of Intec.
