• VISION: To become a leader in the development and operation of coal assets to provide energy, support growth and create wealth for both shareholders and stakeholders
• Intra Energy Corporation Limited (IEC) is a responsible developer and producer of coal in East Africa, listed on the Australian Stock Exchange (ASX: IEC)
• IEC owns 70% of Tancoal Energy Limited (Tancoal), a Public Private Partnership (PPP) with the National Development Corporation (NDC) representing the Government of Tanzania
• IEC owns 70% of Tanzacoal East African Mining Limited (Tanzacoal) in joint venture with Olympic Exploration Limited
• Tancoal commenced trial production of high quality thermal coal in September 2011 with a target production of 3 Million tpy by 2015 in a staged development. Tanzacoal will commence trial mining at end of 2012. By 2018, both mines are expected to reach up to 7 Million tpy capacity mainly for regional supply of power station fuel with limited export capacity
• Current JORC resources are 251 Million Tonnes at Tancoal and 100 Million Tonnes at Tanzacoal, both with very large upside potential
• IEC is self-sufficient, with its geologists exploring throughout the region. Its own AAA Drilling company, mining equipment, operations and planning are all in-house

• Minerally and agriculturally wealthy, Tanzania and neighbouring nations are some of the poorest in the world
• Change is occurring with major gas discoveries offshore and exploration of the great lakes expected to yield oil and gas
• IMF forecasts GDP growth in 2012 at 6.4% noting that growth is restrained by severe electricity shortage
• Industrial production expensive with cement, textiles, cotton, breweries, coffee, tobacco and limestone industries suffering from expensive diesel generation and unreliable supply
• Installed capacity of electricity generation 1,190MW of which currently only 610MW is operational, from hydro, gas and diesel generation
• Rich in unexploited energy – coal, gas and geothermal – TANCOAL is, however, the first operating coal mine in the East African region. There are no base load coal-fired power stations in East Africa
• As Tancoal is a PPP, political risk of resource nationalisation is minimised

African Coal for African Growth Major coal producers in South Africa, Botswana and Mozambique are focused on coal for export to India and China. Most thermal coal outside South Africa is lower quality and requires coal preparation to reduce ash and upgrade heating value. Massive infrastructure costs are in excess of mining costs. Shareholders fund infrastructure rather than mining and compete for market shares with cheaper production from Indonesia. Intra Energy’s focus is on Central East African domestic and regional supply to support industrialisation and electricity generation critical to economic growth in a region which is growing at nearly the same rate as India and China. IEC has limited competition as the only coal producer in the region, is using existing infrastructure and has a high quality coal which in Tancoal does not require coal preparation with its loss in saleable coal.
Rwanda • 2010 GDP growth: 7.5% • 2012 GDP estimated growth: 7.9% • Electricity shortage reaching critical
Mozambique • 2010 GDP growth 7.2% • 2012 GDP estimated growth: 7.5% • FDI for coal mines and infrastructure
Kenya • 2010 GDP growth: 5.6% • 2012 GDP estimated growth 6.1% • Electricity shortage, election 2012
Tanzania • 2010 GDP growth 7.0% • 2012 GDP estimated growth: 6.4% • Electricity crisis
Source of GDP data: International Monetary Fund, World Economic Outlook Database and local sources
Malawi • 2010 GDP growth: 7.2% • 2012 GDP estimated growth 5.1% • Electricity crisis and political change
Zambia • 2010 GDP growth: 7.6% • 2012 GDP estimated growth 6.7% • Power shortage, reduction in copper
output Average GDP estimated for 2012 is 6.4% for East African Nations compared to 6.8% for India and 6.1% for Indonesia with China at 8.2% but declining

Intra Energy Strategic Development
• Domestic supply to Tanzanian industrial market using coal for import substitution (Tanzania imported 230,000 tonnes thermal coal in 2010) and replacement of diesel and wood in industrial processes. Limited export regionally to Malawi by barge and Kenya by road. Depletion of forests for kiln-firing targeted for coal replacement in tune with Tanzanian environmental concerns. Trucking is the highest cost component but competitive with South Africa and Mozambique coal into Mombasa Port, Kenya and throughout Tanzania/Malawi. Potential for 500,000 tonnes by 2015.
• Power generation with first 150MW (120MW nett) power station currently being designed and sited adjacent to Tancoal area for operation in 2015 and with the Power Purchase Agreement (PPA) under negotiation. Transmission expansion will allow additional generation connection at Songea, the main town. Other projects include mine mouth 450MW power generation at Tanzacoal and an integrated stockpile and generation facility near Dar es Salaam as well as industrially-related generation in Tanzania, Malawi and neighbouring countries. All coal-fired generation is base load.
• Export coal utilizing a southern growth corridor to the Port of Mtwara north of the border with Mozambique. Target markets are not India or China but specific Indian Ocean countries, Kenya and potentially Somalia. Supply to be partly tied to power generation where IEC is the fuel supply partner.

Production • Tancoal JORC Resource 251 Million tonnes (Measured: 139mt; Indicated: 66mt; Inferred: 46mt) mainly to measured
status, Tanzacoal JORC resource 100 Million tonnes (Measured: 0mt; Indicated: 75mt; Inferred: 35mt), both open-ended with large upside potential
• Thermal coal is mined, crushed and stockpiled for quality product without expensive preparation/washing – sold on Raw basis
• Tancoal product is hauled to local stockpiles for trucking directly to consumers or barging across Lake Nyasa to Malawi and a northern stockpile area
• Tancoal quality on air-dried basis – CV 6,500Kcal/kg, Ash 18%, Inherent Moisture 3.0%, Volatile Matter 25% and Total Sulphur 0.5%. Tanzacoal is higher Ash and lower CV product
• Total IEC expenditure (including AAA Drilling below) USD 13M on operations for production capacity up to 35,000 tpm, USD 10M for acquisition of Tanzacoal properties and USD 10M in bank.
Sales • Tancoal sold 4,800mt in March 2012 to cement, gypsum and brewery companies • Sales will see gradual increases as the availability of reliable coal supply becomes apparent as this option had never
existed previously • Currently building trucking capacity and assessing infrastructure improvements – there is virtually no public road bulk
haulage in Tanzania (there has not been any coal mining!) • Tancoal is exporting approximately 1,100tpm to Malawi with trial supply by road to Kenya

• Tancoal employs from the local community with training schemes in place to transfer technology and basic skills to support the mining operations
• Schools are being rebuilt and from secondary level the top five local students are selected monthly for special training in environmental, medical and mechanical skills
• “Mbalawala Women’s Group” was established after consultation with local women and in partnership with community leaders. The project aims to establish a number of activities so that the women learn new skills and will have an opportunity to run each activity as a business (for example briquette making). It also enables IEC to work with local women to improve their skills, health, independence and social equality
• Infrastructure is being upgraded with the construction and rebuilding of bridges, roads and port facilities
• Community involvement in vegetable production from pit backfill areas to be used for supply and catering to Tancoal personnel

IEC’s immediate focus for 2012 is to expand coal sales and hence production as well as drilling and geological work to increase JORC qualified resources for Tancoal; explore for new commercial coal deposits in neighbouring nations and pursue a staged power generation development opportunity
• Tanzania lacks base load power and sufficient electricity generating and transmission capacity (1,150MW installed, 600MW operating), restricting industrialisation, development and the basic rights of the people to access electricity. Historically, generation has been sourced from hydro and natural gas with private businesses based on generation from diesel gensets
• There is no coal-fired generation in Tanzania and its neighbouring countries as Tancoal is the first time that coal has been produced reliably in quantity in the region
• Coal can not only generate sufficient base load electricity to meet the industrial growth needs and electrification of Tanzania, utilising Tancoal and Tanzacoal as coal suppliers into mine mouth generation, but also create revenue from the export of electricity to neighbouring countries. Coal provides the cheapest source of power – approximately ¼ of the cost of diesel generation
• IEC has completed a MOU with the Tanzania Electric Supply Company to enter into PPA negotiations for the development of a 150MW (120MW nett) mine mouth power station and is in discussions for the development of 450MW (3 stages, 150MW each) power stations at Tanzacoal and a number of 75MW units in strategic locations. A 150MW (120MW nett) coal-fired power station will consume approximately 400,000mt coal per year
