Official opening of the Intec Hellver Metals Demonstration Plant

The Intec Hellyer Metals polymetallic demonstration plant at Burnie was officially opened on Thursday 15 September 2005 by the Hon. Bryan Green MHA, Tasmanian Minister for Infrastructure, Energy and Resources. The opening was well attended by over 100 international, mainland and Tasmanian guests, including governmental representatives, financial supporters, equipment suppliers, service providers and the electronic and print media. Following a comprehensive presentation by Intec, proceedings culminated with the Minister addressing the audience prior to unveiling the plaque shown below.

The official opening was followed by conducted tours of the demonstration plant (currently well advanced in its commissioning phase) and then a trip 80km south to the Hellyer Metals Project site. Here, both Intec Hellyer Metals Pty Ltd and Resource Finance and Investments Limited (RFI, of which Intec owns 45.4%) gave presentations. RFI is currently raising up to A\$3,500,000 in its Initial Public Offering, with the intention of then being admitted for quotation on ASX.

All of the day's presentations are set out below and may also be found at http://www.intec.com.au/html/news.shtm.
