Chairman’s Address, 2019 Annual General Meeting
The last 12 months has been another significant period of work and development for TNG and advancement of the Mount Peake Project.
I would like to take this opportunity to thank Paul Burton, the management team, staff and my fellow directors for their hard work and commitment during an extremely busy and successful year for TNG.
TNG has achieved a number of significant highlights over the past 12 months since the last AGM which have furthered the Mount Peake Project including:
-
The SMS group making great inroads into the Front End Engineering and Design study; this study covers both the mine site Beneficiation Plant and the Darwin Processing Facility plants;
-
The completion of an optimised delivery strategy more suitable to project financing being considered by KfW IPEX;
-
The submission of the Environmental Impact Statement for the Darwin Processing plant site;
-
Completion of all permitting for the Mount Peake mine and concentrator site;
-
Submission of the Mining Management Plan for the Mount Peake mine site;
-
Successfully addressing the issues raised by shareholders at the 2018 AGM in relation to the appointment of an independent Chair and the first strike on the remuneration report;
-
The completion of a highly successful capital raising and rights issue which has resulted in the introduction of new global institutional investors to the Company’s register;
-
The Company is in a strong financial position following successful capital raisings with cash of over $20 million that was recently supplemented with $2.18 million as a refunded tax offset for research and development;
-
The recruitment of a number of highly experienced industry professionals as we build up a solid, experienced team for delivery of the project and prepare operational readiness;
-
Submission to NAIF for consideration of funding; and
-
Land acquisition proposal submitted to the NT Government.
We remain fully focused on advancing our world class Mount Peake Project to reward your support in 2020.

Notes:
The TNG numbers are based on the most recently information provided by SMS. The pyrometallurgy number relies on the feed concentrate having the same composition as the TNG concentrate. This is required for this kind of comparison.
