PROPOSED ACQUISITION OF TENURE WITH HIGH GRADE HEAVY MINERAL SANDS

  • Titanium Sands Ltd (’The Company’) has entered into a conditional sale agreement to acquire tenure adjacent to its Mannar Island Project.

  • Under the acquisition, the area tenure at the Mannar Island Project will expand to 204km[2] .

  • The tenure to be acquired has drill intercepts from 362 holes defining high grade heavy mineral sands in a continuous zone 7km long and 1 to 1.5km wide.

  • This zone of mineralisation is along trend and adjoins a highgrade resource domain in the Company’s existing tenure.

  • The acquisition is subject to the Company completing its due diligence and approval by Titanium Sands Ltd shareholders and various other conditions.

  • The acquisition is part of the Company’s strategy to increase its landholding in this highly prospective area and continue with its coordinated regional exploration approach.

OVERVIEW

Titanium Sands Ltd (‘’The Company’’) is pleased to announce that it has entered into a conditional sale agreement to acquire a group of companies that hold a substantive 38km[2] tenure package (“Acquisition Tenure”) that complements the Company’s existing extensive tenure at Mannar Island in north west Sri Lanka.

Titanium Sands has been progressing the Mannar Island Heavy Mineral Sand Project in northwest Sri Lanka since recommencing trading on the ASX in December 2018. In February 2019 (ASX announcement 11 February 2019) the company announced a major increase in its resources to 53.08Mt at 6.67% heavy minerals, including a new high-grade zone of 9.85Mt at 9.06% heavy minerals. Further resource extension and in filling drilling is ongoing. This will be further enhanced with the mobilisation of the Company’s RCaircore drilling rig shortly.

The Acquisition Tenure adjoins the Company’s existing tenure (Figure 1). A total of 692 holes have been drilled on the Acquisition Tenure of which 362 (listed in Appendix 1) have intercepts of between 2% and 27% total heavy mineral (“THM”) (Figures 2 and 3). The mineralised intercepts are from surface to the maximum depth of drilling down to the water table at 1m to 3m below surface. No drilling has been undertaken below the water table. JORC compliance tables 1 and 2 are included in Appendix 2. The high-grade drilling intercepts in the Acquisition Tenure adjoin and follow the trend of a high-grade resource zone in the existing Company’s tenure (Figure 3).

TERMS OF THE PROPOSED ACQUISITION

The Acquisition Tenure consists of four exploration licenses (Figure 1 and Table 1). The Acquisition Tenure is held and controlled by a group of Sri Lankan companies which are wholly owned by a Mauritian company Bright Angel Ltd. Under the conditional sale agreement, Titanium Sands Ltd will acquire 100% of the share capital of Bright Angel Ltd. The consideration to the Bright Angel shareholder ( Vendor ) for this acquisition consists of:

  • Issue of 417,500,000 fully paid Titanium Sands Ltd ordinary shares to the Vendor or nominee (“Consideration Shares”).

  • Issue of 208,750,000 Titanium Sands Ltd unlisted options exercisable by payment of $0.05 within three years of issue to the Vendor or nominee (“Consideration Options”).

In addition, in acquiring Bright Angel Ltd, the Company will assume a 5% net proceeds royalty payable to the Vendor on minerals sold from the Acquisition Tenure.

The Vendor is a company controlled by Robert Nelson, who through his other holdings currently controls 15.75% of the issued capital in TSL (31.5% on a fully diluted basis). On a post-acquisition basis Robert Nelson will control 49.2% of the issued capital in TSL (60.6% on a fully diluted basis). The Consideration Shares and Options to be issued to the Vendor will be subject to a 12-month escrow restriction.

The proposed acquisition is subject to satisfaction or waiver of the following conditions precedent:

  • Within 30 days, Titanium Sands Ltd notifying the Vendor that it has completed to its satisfaction its due diligence investigations in respect of the Acquisition Tenure (“Due Diligence Condition”).

  • Within 60 days of satisfaction or waiver of the Due Diligence Condition, Titanium Sands Ltd shareholders approving the proposed acquisition (including the issue of the Consideration Shares and Options to the Vendor) for the purposes of ASX Listing Rules 7.1, 10.1 and 10.11.2 and section 611 item 7 of the Corporations Act (due to the Vendor increasing its relevant interest in the Company above 20%).

  • Within 60 days of satisfaction or waiver of the Due Diligence Condition, an independent expert provides a report to the Company that the proposed acquisition is at least fair and reasonable to the Company’s shareholders (other than the Vendor and its associates).

  • Within 60 days of satisfaction or waiver of the Due Diligence Condition, the Vendor and the Company obtaining all other approvals necessary from Government Agencies or third parties to complete the proposed acquisition.

Under the conditional sale agreement, the Vendor has provided warranties that the Company considers standard for an acquisition such as the proposed acquisition.

NEXT STEPS

The Company’s due diligence investigations to satisfy the Due Diligence Condition are continuing. Subject to the satisfaction or waiver by the Company of the Due Diligence Condition, a notice of meeting seeking shareholder approval of the proposed acquisition (which will include an independent expert’s report on the fairness and reasonableness of the proposed acquisition) will be dispatched to shareholders.

whether
acceptable levels
of accuracy (i.e.
lack of bias) and
precision have
been established.
Analytical work on thetetra bromoethane (TBE) based THM
determination and subsequent magnetic separation work was done by
Scientific Services C.C., Cape Town. XRF work was done on the fractions
of the magnetic separation samples

The determination of THM % sample concentrate using TBE at a
specific gravity (SG) of 2.95, are as follows:

TBE is placed into the glass flask up to the indicated mark.

Place approximate 1 scoop of sample into the flask.

Wash down the sides of the flask and impeller with TBE to ensure
all material is in the TBE.

Run the mixer for about 10 seconds.

Wash down again to ensure no material is ‘hung’.

Run the impeller mixer repeatable in 10 second bursts until sure
that all heavies have been liberated.

Allow to stand for 5-10 minutes or until no more material cascades
to bottom.

Once the discharge pipe is clear of suspended material release
the tube to allow the concentrate to be captured in the filter paper.
Store this labeled filter paper.

Process any remaining sample as above ensuring no concentrate
is lost.

Finally flush out the floats by opening the tube and allowing the
floats to fall into filter paper – allow this to stand capturing all the
TBE which will be reused at a later stage.

Wash all concentrates and floats thoroughly with acetone to
reclaim as much TBE as possible.

After the concentrate filter is acetone rinsed and dried, transfer
the concentrate very carefully into a bag by opening the filter
paper ensuring nothing is lost.

Place the floats into the waste drums unless specified by the client
to do otherwise.

Check the SG of the TBE with the density tracers provided and re-use
as appropriate.
Verification

assaying
• The verification of
significant

hole separations.
Orientation
of data in
relation to
geological
structure
• Whether the
orientation of
sampling achieves
unbiased
sampling of
possible
structures and the
extent to which
this is known,
considering the
deposit type.
• If the relationship
between the
drilling orientation
and the orientation
of key mineralised
structures is
considered to
have introduced a
sampling bias, this
should be
assessed and

Shoreline concentrated heavy minerals when preserved
by net coastal progradation seaward form strands of
mineralisation that can vary from 10s to hundreds of
metres wide but many hundreds or metres and kilometres
long. Drill lines are therefore optimally oriented across the
trend direction of the paleo shoreline positions. Drill hole
spacing along the lines were designed to find HM strands
as narrow as 25 to 50m wide. Separation of the drill lines
along the paleo shoreline orientations reflects the much
greater along shore dimensions of any potentially
economic strands.

Section 2 Reporting of Exploration Results (Criteria listed in the preceding section also apply to this section.)

Criteria **Explanation **
Mineral
tenement and
land tenure
status
• Type, reference name/number, location
and ownership including agreements or
material issues with third parties such
as joint ventures, partnerships,
overriding royalties, native title
interests, historical sites, wilderness or
national park and environmental
settings.
• The security of the tenure held at the
time of reporting along with any known
impediments to obtaining a licence to
_operate inthe area. _

Granted exploration licenses.

No known overriding interests at
this stage.

Normal state royalty regime.
Exploration
done by other
parties
• Acknowledgment and appraisal of
exploration by other parties.

None known.
Geology • Deposit type, geological setting and
style of mineralisation.

Holocene to Modern coastal
sand deposit hosted heavy
mineral sands
Drill hole
Information
• A summary of all information material
to the understanding of the exploration
results including a tabulation of the
following information for all Material
drill holes:

easting and northing of the drill hole
collar

elevation or RL (Reduced Level –
elevation above sea level in metres)
of the drill hole collar

dip and azimuth of the hole

down hole length and interception
depth

hole length.
• If the exclusion of this information is
justified on the basis that the
information is not Material and this
exclusion does not detract from the
understanding of the report, the
Competent Person should clearly
_explain why this is the case. _

Tabulation of all drill hole
information contained within
Appendix 1 of the
announcement above, with the
exception of RL which will be
provided later when a DTM is
available. At this time collar
elevation is considered not
material due to the lack of
significant elevation changes
over the area.
Data
aggregation
methods
• In reporting Exploration Results,
weighting averaging techniques,
maximum and/or minimum grade
truncations (e.g. cutting of high grades)
and cut-off grades are usually Material
and should be stated.

Intercepts calculated on the
basis of total heavy mineral
grades greater than or equal to
2% total heavy mineral.

No aggregation of sub grade
results into reported intercepts.
Criteria **Explanation **
• Where aggregate intercepts
incorporate short lengths of high-grade
results and longer lengths of low-grade
results, the procedure used for such
aggregation should be stated and
some typical examples of such
aggregations should be shown in
detail.
• The assumptions used for any
reporting of metal equivalent values
_should be clearly stated. _
Relationship
between
mineralisation
widths and
intercept
lengths
• These relationships are particularly
important in the reporting of
Exploration Results.
• If the geometry of the mineralisation
with respect to the drill hole angle is
known, its nature should be reported.
• If it is not known and only the down
hole lengths are reported, there should
be a clear statement to this effect (e.g.
‘down hole length, true width not
_known’). _

Heavy mineral zones in beach
sediments are flat or only very
shallowly dipping. All drill holes
were vertical.
Diagrams • Appropriate maps and sections (with
scales) and tabulations of intercepts
should be included for any significant
discovery being reported These should
include, but not be limited to a plan
view of drill hole collar locations and
appropriate sectional views.

Plans of drill hole locations
historical and subject of this
announcement are provided.

Sectional representations not
considered relevant as the drill
depths were rarely more than
3m.
Balanced
reporting
• Where comprehensive reporting of all
Exploration Results is not practicable,
representative reporting of both low
and high grades and/or widths should
be practiced avoiding misleading
reporting of Exploration Results.

All holes being reported on
drilled on the controlled tenure
with locations shown in Figures
1 to 4.in the main text of the
announcement. Collar positions
listed in Appendix 1
Other
substantive
exploration data
• Other exploration data, if meaningful
and material, should be reported
including (but not limited to): geological
observations; geophysical survey
results; geochemical survey results;
bulk samples – size and method of
treatment; metallurgical test results;
bulk density, groundwater,
geotechnical and rock characteristics;
potential deleterious or contaminating
_substances. _

Not applicable.
Further work • The nature and scale of planned
further work (e.g. tests for lateral
extensions or depth extensions or
large-scale step-out drilling).
• Diagrams clearly highlighting the areas
of possible extensions, including the
main geological interpretations and
future drilling areas, provided this
information is not commercially
_sensitive. _

Further drilling will test lateral
and depth extensions of the
areas of mineralisation defined
to date.
