EXPLANATORY MEMORANDUM

1. Introduction

This Explanatory Memorandum has been prepared for the information of Shareholders in connection with the business to be conducted at the Meeting to be held at The Subiaco Arts Centre, 180 Hamersley Road, Subiaco, Western Australia on Monday, 28 November 2011 at 10.00am (WST).

2. Financial, Directors’ and Auditors Report

There is no requirement for Shareholders to approve the Annual Report (which includes the Financial, Directors' and Auditors Report).

Shareholders will be offered the following opportunities:

  • (a) discuss the Annual Report for the financial year ended 30 June 2011 which is online at www.tngltd.com and click on the direct link;

  • (b) ask questions or make comment on the management of the Company;

  • (c) ask the auditor questions about the conduct of the audit and the preparation and content of the Auditor's Report.

In addition to taking questions at the Meeting, written questions to the Chairman about the management of the Company, or to the Company's auditor about:

  • (a) the preparation and the content of the auditor's report;

  • (b) the conduct of the audit;

  • (c) accounting policies by the Company in relation to the preparation of the financial statements; and

  • (d) the independence of the auditor in relation to the conduct of the audit,

may be submitted no later than 5 business days before the Meeting to the Company Secretary at the Company's registered office.

3. Resolution 1 – Remuneration Report

Section 250R(2) of the Corporations Act provides that the Company is required to put the Remuneration Report to the vote of Shareholders. The Directors' Report contains the Remuneration Report which sets out the remuneration policy for the Company and reports the remuneration arrangements in place for the executive Directors, specified executives and non-executive Directors.

The Board believes the Company’s remuneration policies and structures as outlined in the Remuneration Report are appropriate relative to the size of the Company, its business and strategic investment objectives and current and emerging market practices.

3

Section 250R(3) of the Corporations Act provides that Resolution 1 is advisory only and does not bind the Directors of itself, a failure of Shareholders to pass Resolution 1 will not require the Directors to alter any of the arrangements in the Remuneration Report.

However, the Corporations Act has been amended by the Corporations Amendment (Improving Accountability on Director and Executive Remuneration) Act ( Director and Executive Remuneration Act ) which received the Royal Assent on 27 June 2011 and came into effect on 1 July 2011.

The Director and Executive Remuneration Act introduced new sections 250U and 250Y, among others, into the Corporations Act, giving Shareholders the opportunity to remove the Board if the Remuneration Report receives a 'no' vote of 25% or more at two consecutive annual general meetings ( Two Strikes Rule ).

Under the Two Strikes Rule, where a resolution on the Remuneration Report receives a 'no' vote of 25% or more at two consecutive annual general meetings, the Company will be required to put to Shareholders at the second annual general meeting a resolution on whether another meeting should be held (within 90 days) at which all Directors (other than the managing director) who were in office at the date of approval of the applicable Directors' Report must stand for re-election.

In summary, if the Remuneration Report receives a 'no' vote of 25% or more at this Meeting, Shareholders should be aware that if there is a 'no' vote of 25% or more at the next annual general meeting the consequences are that it may result in the re-election of the Board.

The Chairman will allow a reasonable opportunity for Shareholders as a whole to ask about, or make comments on the Remuneration Report.

The Chairman will not cast undirected votes on Resolution 1.

4. Resolution 2 – Re-election of Mr Neil Biddle

Article 6.3(b)(ii) of the Constitution requires that a Director must retire from office no later than 3 years following that Director's last election. Furthermore, Article 6.3(c) provides that one third of the Directors must retire at each annual general meeting (rounded down to the nearest whole number)

Article 6.3(f) provides that a Director who retires under Article 6.3(b)(ii) and 6.3(c) is eligible for re-election.

Pursuant to these Articles, Mr Neil Biddle will retire and seek re-election.

The Board believes that Mr Biddle has performed his duties and responsibilities as a director diligently and professionally, in the best interests of all Shareholders.

The Board unanimously supports the re-election of Mr Biddle

5. Resolution 3 – Approve Placement Facility

5.1 General

Resolution 3 seeks Shareholders' approval pursuant to Listing Rule 7.1 for the Directors to allot and issue the Shares under the Placement Facility.

4

The effect of passing Resolution 3 will be to allow the Directors to issue the Shares during the three month period after the Meeting (or a longer period, if allowed by ASX), without using up the Company's 15% placement capacity under Listing Rule 7.1.

The Company has not yet made any agreement or arrangement to issue the Shares or the number of Shares to be issued under the Placement Facility (other than the limit of 40,000,000 Shares) and there is no certainty that it will proceed with the issue.

5.2 Specific Information Required by ASX Listing Rule 7.3

For the purposes of Listing Rule 7.3 information regarding the Placement Facility is provided as follows:

  • (a) The maximum number of securities the Company may issue under the Placement Facility is 40,000,000 Shares.

  • (b) The Shares under the Placement Facility will be issued no later than three months after the date of the Meeting (or such longer period of time as ASX may, in its discretion, allow pursuant to a waiver of Listing Rule 7.3.2).

  • (c) The Shares to be issued under the Placement Facility will be issued by the Company at an issue price of not less than 80% of the average market price for Shares on the last five days on which sales in the Shares were recorded before the day on which the issue is made or, if there is a prospectus, over the last 5 days on which sales in the Shares were recorded before the date the prospectus is signed.

  • (d) As subscriptions to the Placement Facility have not yet been arranged, the allottees will be determined at the Directors' discretion but will be professional and sophisticated investors under the Corporations Act and will not be related parties or associates of related parties of the Company.

  • (e) The Shares to be issued will be fully paid ordinary shares in the capital of the Company. The Shares will rank equally with other ordinary Shares on issue.

  • (f) The funds raised will be used for working capital purposes including expenditure in respect to the Company's Mount Peake and other projects.

  • (g) Allotment of the Shares to be issued under the Placement Facility will occur progressively.

  • (h) A voting exclusion statement is included in the Notice.
