Change in INL shareholding in JRV

As noted in the attached Form 605 (Notice of Ceasing to be a Substantial Holder), Intec Ltd (ASX Code: INL) has sold a portion of its shareholding in Jervois Mining Limited (ASX Code: JRV) subsequent to the announcements by both companies on 22 March 2007 to the effect that the two merger proposals put by INL to the JRV Board had been ended.

As announced on 23 February 2007, INL originally purchased JRV shares on-market and then pursuant to JRV's recent two-for-five rights issue and the ensuing protracted rights issue shortfall placement (each right comprised a 1 cent JRV share together with a free attaching 1 cent JRV option) at an overall average price of 1.16 cents per JRV share (fully diluted and inclusive of the presumed future payment of the 1 cent exercise price for each of INL's JRV options).

INL has since sold on-market at an average price of 2.73 cents per JRV share and INL now retains 8.33% of JRV on a fully diluted basis at an entry cost of less than zero (even after taking into account the cost of the presumed future exercise by INL of 107.2 million 1 cent JRV options).

INL thus remains JRV's largest shareholder (and by far JRV's largest shareholder on a fully diluted basis), at no net cost to INL. Assuming the current JRV share price of 2.7 cents and 1,726,487,114 JRV shares on issue, JRV has a market capitalisation (inclusive of the 1.9 cents calculated weighted average value (using 100% volatility) of each its 365,313,742 unlisted options) of \$53,275,799. INL's 3.89% JRV share interest (67,095,473 JRV shares) and 29.34% JRV options interest (107,200,000 JRV options) are worth \$1,811,578 and \$1,929,600 respectively: in aggregate \$3,741,178.

INL is disappointed that the Board of JRV didn't share INL's vision of co-operation in relation to JRV's nickel laterite assets, which are large and well-situated, but complex and relatively low grade, thus requiring an as-yet-to-be-developed technology to support their commercial exploitation. The proposed technologies under development offer promise, but will require significant expenditure over a lengthy period, as well as skilled personnel and suitable local demonstration plant and testing facilities, to achieve commercial application. Intec's merger proposals offered all of these benefits at an implied projects valuation that recognised the very significant cost, time and technical challenges involved in commercial development of these difficult resources...

As JRV's largest shareholder, INL retains a keen interest in observing how successfully JRV advances its various projects, in the knowledge that Intec's shareholders can at no net cost to themselves share in any success JRV may have and/or in any further upside in the JRV share price.

Yours faithfully, Intec Ltd
