Update on Green Resources Liuzhou Project (with Appendix 3B)

Intec Ltd (ASX code: INL) advises that on 5 January 2010 it received notice from Green Resources (Asia Pacific) Holding Limited (“Green Resources”) of completion of Chinese and Hong Kong financing for Stage 1 of the Subscription Agreement with INL announced on 5 November 2009.

As part of Stage 1 of the Subscription Agreement, INL is investing RMB2 million (A$324,891.54) in Green Resources, which funds are satisfied by the issue of 21,659,436 Intec ordinary shares at a price of A$0.015 each to investors nominated by Green Resources as set out in the attached Appendix 3B. These and other funds will be applied by Green Resources to complete the feasibility study for the previously announced 50,000 tpa metalliferous furnace dust project in Liuzhou City (“Liuzhou Project”).

As noted by Joe Lam, Intec’s Chinese Representative and a Director of Green Resources: “Green Resources has finalised the agreements with the Hong Kong and China based investors, such that its required funding for the implementation of the first phase of the Liuzhou Project is now secured in principle, subject to the expected favourable outcomes of the feasibility study.

In addition, Green Resources technical and management team have been working at the Liuzhou Project plant site (approximately 13,000m[2] ) since early December 2009. It is expected that the feasibility study will be completed during the second quarter of 2010.”

The Liuzhou Project will initially treat 50,000 tonnes per annum of furnace dusts from Liugang. The dust contains iron (25%), carbon (30%), zinc (7%), lead (1.5%), and indium (250 ppm). The treatment plant will produce high purity zinc oxide, lead sulphide and indium metal for sale to external parties, along with high purity hematite and carbon for sale to Liugang for re-use in the blast furnaces.

To commence production within two years, this will be the largest commercial-scale application of the Intec Process to date and economic modelling is strongly positive. The plant will thus also act as a clear demonstration of the economic and environmental advantages of the Intec Process for both the processing of industrial wastes and mineral concentrates and ores.

About Intec Ltd

Intec Ltd is an Australian company which owns the Intec Process for superior and sustainable metals production. The Intec Process comprises a set of patented chloride-based hydrometallurgical processes that have been demonstrated to produce high purity base and precious metals from concentrates of sulphide and oxide ores, tailings and industrial wastes. The Intec Process has substantial environmental and cost advantages over both the widely used conventional smelting and refining processes and other known hydrometallurgical processes.

Intec’s proposed Chinese and Australian projects follow Intec’s very successful demonstration of the use of its specialised reagents and technology for the environmentally and economically superior recovery of heavy metals from liquid and sludge industrial waste feedstocks.

It is expected that Intec’s intellectual property derived from its waste metals recovery technology will have broad application for industrial waste water, mine tailings water and waste sludge treatment, both nationally and internationally.
