MANNAR PROJECT

RC aircore drilling is continuing at the Company’s existing Mannar Island licenses as previously announced (ASX:TSL 27/9/19). The resource infill and extension drilling is targeting beneath the water table under parts of the shallow resource drilling. The Company also expects to announce a resource update for the shallow surface exposed high-grade resource situated above the water table in about 4 to 6 weeks.

As outlined in the TSL prospectus (ASX:TSL 29/3/18), the Company is pleased to announce that 133,333,333 Class C Performance Shares (“Class C Performance Shares”) issued to the vendor of the Mannar Island licences will convert to 133,333,333 fully paid ordinary shares in TSL (“Shares”) on or about the time of the AGM. The Milestone for the Class C Performance Shares to convert into Shares is the Company achieving a Mineral Resource of 70 million tonnes of heavy mineral content of not less than 5% discovered (or equivalent tonnage to heavy mineral content discovered ratio. For example, 35 million tonnes of heavy mineral content of not less than 10% discovered). The Milestone was formally achieved on the announcement of the resource upgrade confirming an inferred mineral resource of 53.08Mt @ 6.7%[1] (ASX:TSL 11/2/19), however, it had been agreed between the vendor and the Company at the time to wait for the next resource upgrade before converting the Class C

Performance Shares into Shares and to convert the Class C Performance Shares into Shares at that time. The Company anticipates the next resource upgrade before or around the time of the AGM and will convert the Performance Shares into Shares at that time.

CORPORATE

The Company is also pleased to announce the appointment of CPS Capital Group (“CPS”) as the Company’s Corporate Advisor. CPS were appointed the managing lead broker (ASX:TSL 19/9/18) to the Company’s successful prospectus raise in 2018 and have been a constant supporter of TSL since reinstatement to trading in December 2018. Under the terms of the mandate CPS will be engaged for a minimum term of 12 months on standard commercial terms including the issue of 10,000,000 fully paid ordinary shares in the Company to CPS (or their nominee). The Company has sought shareholder approval for the share issue to CPS pursuant to ASX Listing Rule 7.1 at the upcoming AGM. The Notice of Meeting for the AGM has been sent to shareholders today, to be held on Tuesday 26 November 2019.

TSL Managing Director Dr James Searle said “ It is a great step forward for the company to complete the Due Diligence for the proposed acquisition of the further Mannar tenure and to appoint CPS Capital as TSLs corporate advisor. Assuming the Company obtains the various approvals of the Company’s shareholders necessary to complete the proposed acquisition of the further Mannar tenure, and completion of that acquisition occurs, the growth of the Company over the last 12 months in terms of mineral resource increase from 10.3Mt to 85Mt[1] , is outstanding and indicative of what the company aimed to achieve from day one. Now with the additional formal support and direction of CPS, TSL hopes to continue to deliver continuing good news by way of both further resource upgrades and Company growth in the coming 12 months ”.
