I consider this stock to be worth more than its
present price due to the speed of their IRGP in comparison with standard mining
processes, i.e.;
no mining/digging is required as Intec's patented
Refractory Gold Process (IRGP) is able to process the refractory gold already
above ground within the Hellyer tailings dam.
INL retraced
following the announcement of the Hellyer acquisition and the rally that
followed in January (17.5c down to 12c).
The majority of holders under
12c would be the long-termers so this should mean the gap has already been
filled.
I recommend anyone interested in Intec (INL) visit their website
to gain a better understanding of their patented processes which apply to gold,
copper, etc.
It would be wise to understand why Intec will be able to
gear up and produce gold much faster than can be achieved using standard mining
processes.

Update: Intec (INL)
I anticipate Intec will be following up soon
with an announcement
regarding progress on the Hellyer Project (approx
A$1.6b in contained
metals). Intec and Ivanhoe Mines acquired 50%
each.
Hopefully that will occur within the next few
weeks.

Hi Baa,
Here's a really brief overview:
- Intec initially developed a patented
hydrometallurgical process for copper and has since been adapting and
patenting this process to suit other minerals. All processes
developed are offered under license.
- a copper processing pilot plant
(employing Intec's process) has been in operation for some time now in
Hitachi, Japan - was constructed by Nippon Mining & Metals Co Ltd
(NMM), an Intec sub-licensee (the Japanese govt agency, New Energy and
Industrial Technology Development Organisation, and Mitsui Mining &
Smelting Co Ltd co-funded with NMM on the Intec Copper Pilot Plant
Programme.)
- Rautomead in Scotland (world leader in its
field) used the A grade purity molten copper processed by this
technology to create upwardly cast oxygen-free copper wire rod.
- Intec's process results in cheaper production
costs (shorter production path) and is environmentally superior - no
cyanide is employed in the process - reduces environmental clean-up
costs
- Intec Refractory Gold Process (IRGP) is suited
to approx 30% of the world's gold (from memory)
- Ivanhoe doesn't own Intec. Ivanhoe Mines is a
major shareholder of Intec (INL) - 23.2%.
- Ivanhoe and Intec set up IVNL Gold
Pty Ltd as a jointly owned (50/50) separate company that could
bid for the Hellyer project - IVNL Gold Pty Ltd was
successful in acquiring Hellyer.
- Hellyer tailings dam (above
ground) - gold, zinc, lead, silver, copper (in descending order of
value) - as at 31 December - value approx A$1.6 billion - (NB
lower cost to produce - no need to dig it out from
underground)
- Intec has recently completed a pilot
de,onstration plant for the IRGP process and is able to process gold
now and prove the benefits of its patented technology. First gold
processed will be Ivanhoe's. Second will be Intec's/Ivanhoe's,
i.e.; Hellyer.
- Intec is not an explorer, but the fact they
don't blow big holes in the ground shouldn't preclude them from
being classified as a producer as they still produce gold (even if
from tailings). However; am prepared to be corrected if majority feel
they don't fall into a broader definition of
'producer'.
- Intec perform paid consulting work for mining
industry - they will be one of many related businesses
that will benefit from upward metal prices and cashed up mining companies
seeking to upgrade or implement new processing technologies or
implementing environmentally-friendlier processes
- Intec in a position to create earlier
cash flow than would have been expected prior to Hellyer
acquisition
Hope this is sufficient for now.
Regards,
Cris

Still keen to hear your views on why this is a decent stock
play. We got to
the point of noting it was a gold refiner as a
byproduct of refining other
metals, mainly zinc and copper. It partly
owns a stake in Hellyer. Heres the
chart ...

C'mon
