Quarterly Activities Report: Appendix 4C September 2013

Attached is the September 2013 Quarterly Report for Entities Admitted on the Basis of Commitments (Appendix 4C) for Intec Ltd (ASX Code: INL, Intec or the Company).

Operations Update

Tasmanian Operations

The remediation work at the former EAF Dust storage site at Hellyer was approved by the Tasmanian EPA and consequently the Company was returned its $40,000 security bond. The Company's remaining interests in the Hellyer area are its 2.5% Net Smelter Royalty in relation to base metals on certain mining and exploration tenements covering the Hellyer-Que River area and its 5.65% shareholding in Bass Metals Limited.

During the quarter the Company determined that the Burnie Research Facility (BRF) would be reconfigured in order to solely treat Tasmanian sourced industrial waste such as that from the ACL Group as occurred during the June Quarter. The Company expects that the treatment of similar material will take place on a campaign basis several times a year resulting in a profitable BRF operation.

The reconfigured focus of the BRF aligns this facility with the Company's continued investigation of corporate and asset acquisition opportunities that would involve either an Intec Process application and/or the treatment of industrial waste in its various forms.

However, those parts of the BRF not required for industrial waste treatment are in the process of being decommissioned and various items of surplus plant equipment are in the process of being sold. The decommissioning process will be self funding from the sale of the surplus plant and equipment and is expected to be completed during the current quarter.

The Company also maintains its mining lease and associated operating licence over the zinc-bearing Zeehan slag dump on the West Coast of Tasmania. Material from this location was previously blended with EAF Dust and exported by the Company. Given the material percentage of world zinc mine production that will be removed from the market over the next several years it is possible that the Zeehan slag dump could produce a standalone export product in the future.

IRC Project

The status of the IRC Project remains unchanged. The completed engineering design package will be delivered to the client upon receipt of an overdue payment due to Intec International Projects Pty Ltd (IIP), an incorporated 50:50 joint venture between the Company and Mr Reza Maghzian.

Other

The Company maintains an Intec Process patent portfolio and a significant body of technical literature related to the development and application of the Intec Process. The Company is in discussions with a third party to issue a licence to utilise the patent portfolio and technical library for the purposes of that party undertaking laboratory testwork as Intec no longer maintains its own laboratory. If this arrangement were to proceed, the Company would receive a percentage of the revenue derived from testwork. The discussions only relate to laboratory testwork and not commercial applications, which would be subject to future standalone negotiations.

Corporate

The Company continued to review corporate and asset acquisition opportunities during the quarter. The Company's total cash available at the end of the quarter was $3.414 million.
