ASX ANNOUNCEMENT AND MEDIA RELEASE (ASX:TGM)

TGME Plant Build Progress - Ball Mills Secured, Construction Accelerates

Key Highlights

  • Major Equipment Secured : Order placed with MechProTech for two (2) x Titan GDM3065 Ball Mills, marking a critical milestone in the TGME gold plant build (Design Specs – See Appendix A)

    • Dual Mill Configuration : Increases operational flexibility in terms of maintenance and redundancy. Under Theta’s plug-and-play model, the mills and all supporting infrastructure will be built in the factory, then trucked to the site to fast-track construction and reduce capital expenditure.

    • Locally Engineered : Manufacturer is located in South Africa within 4 hours of the mine site to ensure support and maintenance.

  • Momentum Building : On-site team now 137 strong with civils underway — rapid progress continues

Comments by the Executive Chairman, Bill Guy:

“TGM has taken a decisive step toward delivering the TGME gold plant by placing an order with MechProTech for a state-of-the-art 900kW Ball Mill Circuit. This procurement is not just a major equipment milestone—it’s a clear signal of TGM’s commitment to commissioning the plant by the end of 2026.

“The comprehensive circuit package, including two high-performance ball mills, integrated feed systems, and containerised (Motor Control Centre) MCC panels, will be manufactured and delivered within 25 weeks. This timeline aligns with Theta’s plug-and-play construction model, designed to accelerate build speed and reduce capital expenditure.

“Importantly, the mill comes with a performance guarantee and includes full commissioning support, onsite training, and a robust service level agreement—ensuring operational readiness and reliability from day one. This partnership with MechProTech strengthens Theta’s execution capability and reinforces its strategic pathway to first gold production.”
