EXPLANATORY STATEMEN T
This Explanatory Statement has been prepared to provide information which the Directors believe to be material to Shareholders in deciding whether or not to pass the Resolutions.
1. FINANCIAL STATEMENTS AND REPORTS
In accordance with the Constitution, the business of the Meeting will include receipt and consideration of the annual financial report of the Company for the financial year ended 30 June 2019 together with the declaration of the directors, the Directors’ Report, the Remuneration Report and the auditor’s report.
The Company will not provide a hard copy of the Company’s annual financial report to Shareholders unless specifically requested to do so. The Company’s annual financial report is available on its website at www.tngltd.com.au.
2. RESOLUTION 1 – ADOPTION OF REMUNERATION REPORT
2.1 General
The Corporations Act requires that at a listed company’s annual general meeting, a resolution that the remuneration report be adopted must be put to the shareholders. However, such a resolution is advisory only and does not bind the company or the directors of the company.
The remuneration report sets out the company’s remuneration arrangements for the directors and senior management of the company. The remuneration report is part of the directors’ report contained in the annual financial report of the company for a financial year.
The chair of the meeting must allow a reasonable opportunity for its shareholders to ask questions about or make comments on the remuneration report at the annual general meeting.
2.2 Voting consequences
A company is required to put to its shareholders a resolution proposing the calling of another meeting of shareholders to consider the appointment of directors of the company ( Spill Resolution ) if, at consecutive annual general meetings, at least 25% of the votes cast on a remuneration report resolution are voted against adoption of the remuneration report and at the first of those annual general meetings a Spill Resolution was not put to vote. If required, the Spill Resolution must be put to vote at the second of those annual general meetings.
If more than 50% of votes cast are in favour of the Spill Resolution, the company must convene a shareholder meeting ( Spill Meeting ) within 90 days of the second annual general meeting.
All of the directors of the company who were in office when the directors' report (as included in the company’s annual financial report for the most recent financial year) was approved, other than the managing director of the company, will cease to hold office immediately before the end of the Spill Meeting but may stand for re-election at the Spill Meeting.
Following the Spill Meeting those persons whose election or re-election as directors of the company is approved will be the directors of the company.

2.3 Previous voting results
At the Company's previous annual general meeting held on 29 November 2018, the votes cast against the remuneration report considered at that annual general meeting were more than 25%. Accordingly, the Spill Resolution will be relevant for this Annual General Meeting if at least 25% of the votes cast on the Remuneration Report resolution are voted against adoption of the Remuneration Report. Refer to Resolution 8 and Section 9 of this Explanatory Statement for further information.
3. RESOLUTION 2 – ELECTION OF DIRECTOR – MR JOHN ELKINGTON

Pursuant to the Constitution and ASX Listing Rule 14.4, any Director so appointed holds office only until the next following annual general meeting and is then eligible for election by Shareholders but shall not be taken into account in determining the Directors who are to retire by rotation (if any) at that meeting.
Mr Elkington, having been appointed by other Directors on 1 February 2019 in accordance with the Constitution, will retire in accordance with the Constitution and ASX Listing Rule 14.4 and being eligible, seeks election from Shareholders.

If elected the Board considers Mr Elkington to be an independent director.
3.4 Board recommendation
The Board supports the election of Mr Elkington and recommends that Shareholders vote in favour of Resolution 2.
6
4. RESOLUTION 3 – RE-ELECTION OF DIRECTOR – MR JOHN DAVIDSON
4.1 General
ASX Listing Rule 14.4 provides that, other than a managing director, a director of an entity must not hold office (without re-election) past the third AGM following the director’s appointment or 3 years, whichever is the longer. However, where there is more than one managing director, only one is entitled not to be subject to re-election.
The Constitution sets out the requirements for determining which Directors are to retire by rotation at an annual general meeting.
Mr Davidson, who has served as a director since 3 February 2017 and was last reelected on 28 November 2017, retires by rotation and seeks re-election.

4.4 Board recommendation
The Board supports the re-election of Mr Davidson and recommends that Shareholders vote in favour of Resolution 3.
5. RESOLUTION 4 – RATIFICATION OF PRIOR ISSUE – PLACEMENT
5.1 General
On 17 June 2019, the Company issued 107,526,882 Shares at an issue price of $0.093 per Share to raise $10,000,000 pursusant to a placement.
Resolution 4 seeks Shareholder ratification pursuant to ASX Listing Rule 7.4 for the issue of those Shares ( Placement Ratification ).
ASX Listing Rule 7.1 provides that a company must not, subject to specified exceptions, issue or agree to issue more equity securities during any 12 month period than that amount which represents 15% of the number of fully paid ordinary securities on issue at the commencement of that 12 month period.
ASX Listing Rule 7.4 sets out an exception to ASX Listing Rule 7.1. It provides that where a company in general meeting ratifies the previous issue of securities made
7
pursuant to ASX Listing Rule 7.1 (and provided that the previous issue did not breach ASX Listing Rule 7.1) those securities will be deemed to have been made with shareholder approval for the purpose of ASX Listing Rule 7.1.
By ratifying this issue, the Company will retain the flexibility to issue equity securities in the future up to the 15% annual placement capacity set out in ASX Listing Rule 7.1 without the requirement to obtain prior Shareholder approval.
5.2 Technical information required by ASX Listing Rule 7.4
Pursuant to and in accordance with ASX Listing Rule 7.5, the following information is provided in relation to the Placement Ratification:
-
(a) 107,526,882 Shares were issued;
-
(b) the issue price was $0.093 per Share;
-
(c) the Shares issued were all fully paid ordinary shares in the capital of the Company issued on the same terms and conditions as the Company’s existing Shares;
-
(d) the Shares were issued to two German-based institutions, DELPHI Unternehmensberatung AG and Sparta AG. None of these subscribers are related parties of the Company; and
-
(e) the funds raised from the issue are being used to further advance predevelopment activities, including design and engineering, and final permitting and planning, for the Company’s flagship 100% owned Mount Peake Vanadium-Titanium-Iron Project in the Northern Territory, and to provide general working capital.
6. RESOLUTION 5 – RATIFICATION OF ISSUE OF SHORTFALL SHARES
6.1 General
In July 2019, the Company conducted a non-renounceable rights issue of Shares on a one for twenty basis at an issue price of $0.093 per Share.
The rights issue was fully underwritten, however 1,896,057 of the shortfall shares were issued to parties other than the underwriter. As none of the exceptions in ASX Listing Rule 7.2 apply to the issue of these 1,896,057 Shares, the Company wishes to seek ratification of the issue of these shortfall shares.
Accordingly, Resolution 5 seeks Shareholder ratification pursuant to ASX Listing Rule 7.4 for the issue of those Shares ( Shortfall Ratification ).
A summary of ASX Listing Rules 7.1 and 7.4 is set out in section 5.1 above.
By ratifying this issue, the Company will retain the flexibility to issue equity securities in the future up to the 15% annual placement capacity set out in ASX Listing Rule 7.1 without the requirement to obtain prior Shareholder approval.
6.2 Technical information required by ASX Listing Rule 7.4
Pursuant to and in accordance with ASX Listing Rule 7.5, the following information is provided in relation to the Shortfall Ratification:
(i) 1,896,057 Shares were issued;
8
-
(ii) the issue price was $0.093 per Share;
-
(iii) the Shares issued were all fully paid ordinary shares in the capital of the Company issued on the same terms and conditions as the Company’s existing Shares;
-
(iv) the Shares were issued to sophisticated investors selected by the Directors, none of whom are related parties of the Company; and
-
(v) the funds raised from the issue are being used to further advance predevelopment activities, including design and engineering, and final permitting and planning, for the Company’s flagship 100% owned Mount Peake Vanadium-Titanium-Iron Project in the Northern Territory, and to provide general working capital.
7. RESOLUTION 6 – APPROVAL OF EXTENSION TO REPAYMENT DATE IN RELATION TO SHARES ISSUED PURSUANT TO THE TNG EMPLOYEE SHARE PLAN – MR PAUL BURTON
7.1 General
The TNG Employee Share Plan ( TNG Employee Share Plan ) was approved by Shareholders on 21 November 2012 and subsequently re-approved by Shareholders on 30 November 2015.
Under the terms of the TNG Employee Share Plan:
-
(a) the Company may, in its absolute discretion, offer to provide an interest free loan of the purchase price of the Plan Shares to an eligible participant; and
-
(b) if the loan offer is accepted, the participant is deemed to direct the Company to immediately apply the entire amount of the loan towards the payment of the purchase price of the Plan Shares to the Company.
The purchase price of the Plan Shares is repayable by the participant to the Company in full on the repayment date specified in the offer letter, being five years from the date of issue of the relevant Plan Shares, unless earlier repayment is otherwise required under the terms of the TNG Employee Share Plan or the repayment date is otherwise extended.
The participant cannot transfer the Plan Shares until the participant repays the purchase price of the Plan Shares in full. If the participant does not repay the purchase price by the repayment date, the Company must sell the Plan Shares and apply the sale proceeds towards the repayment of the purchase price of the Plan Shares to the Company.
In 2014, the Company offered to issue the following Plan Shares to Mr Burton:
| Issue Date | Number of Shares Received |
Price for each Share |
Total purchase price |
Purchase price repayment date |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| 27 November 2014 |
4,000,000 | $0.089 | $356,000 | 27 November 2019 |
9
The Company loaned the purchase price of the above Plan Shares to Mr Burton, which was immediately paid by Mr Burton to the Company as consideration for the issue of the 4,000,000 Plan Shares. The repayment date for the purchase price of these Plan Shares is 27 November 2019, being five years from the date of issue of the Plan Shares ( Repayment Date ), unless earlier repayment is otherwise required under the terms of the TNG Employee Share Plan.
Resolution 7 seeks Shareholder approval under section 208(1) of the Corporations Act to extend the Repayment Date by four years to 27 November 2023.
The Board recognises that if the Repayment Date for Mr Burton’s Plan Shares is not extended, Mr Burton will likely need to dispose of some or all of his Plan Shares in order to repay the purchase price. This may result in a significant number of Shares being sold on market over a short period of time, which could put downward pressure on the Company’s Share price. An extension of the Repayment Date by four years may ultimately mean that fewer Shares have to be sold on market.
The Board recognises that Mr Burton has made a significant contribution to the growth and continued success of the Company. Accordingly, the Board has decided to put Resolution 7 to the Shareholders as a way of recognising these contributions by allowing Mr Burton additional time to repay the purchase price of the Plan Shares.
In 2014, the Company also issued the following Plan Shares to participants in the TNG Non-Executive Director and Consultant Share Plan, none of whom are currently related parties of the Company:
| Issue Date | Number of Shares Received |
Price for each Share |
Total purchase price |
Purchase price repayment date |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| 27 November 2014 |
4,000,000 | $0.089 | $356,000 | 27 November 2019 |
| 20 December 2014 |
500,000 | $0.079 | $39,500 | 20 December 2019 |
The Company loaned the purchase price of the above Plan Shares to the relevant participants, which was immediately paid by the relevant participants to the Company as consideration for the issue of the 4,500,000 Plan Shares, with a repayment date of five years from the date of issue of the Plan Shares.
Subject to Resolution 7 being passed, the Company also proposes to extend the repayment date for the purchase price of the above Plan Shares by four years. Shareholder approval is not being sought for this extension as these participants are not related parties of the Company. The Board recognises that if the repayment date extension for these Plan Shares is not extended, the relevant participants will likely need to dispose of some or all of these Plan Shares in order to repay the purchase price. This may result in a significant number of Shares being sold on market over a short period of time, which could put downward pressure on the Company’s Share price.
No other Plan Shares, other than the 4,000,000 Plan Shares held by Mr Burton, and the 4,500,000 Plan Shares held by the relevant participants as noted above, are on issue at the date of this Notice.

7.2 Chapter 2E of the Corporations Act
Chapter 2E of the Corporations Act requires that, for a public company, or an entity that the public company controls, to give a financial benefit to a related party of the public company, the public company or entity must:
-
(i) obtain the approval of the public company’s members in the manner set out in sections 217 to 227 of the Corporations Act; and
-
(ii) give the benefit within 15 months following such approval,
unless the giving of the financial benefit falls within an exception set out in sections 210 to 216 of the Corporations Act.
The grant of the Repayment Date extension by the Company to Mr Burton will constitute the giving of a financial benefit to a related party for the purpose of Chapter 2E of the Corporations Act.
7.3 Technical information required by Chapter 2E of the Corporations Act
Pursuant to and in accordance with the requirements of section 219 of the Corporations Act, the following information is provided in relation to the proposed extension of the Repayment Date:
-
(a) subject to Resolution 7 being passed, the financial benefit would be given to Mr Burton, who is a related party by virtue of being the Managing Director and CEO of the Company;
-
(b) the nature of the financial benefit to be provided to Mr Burton is a four year extension to the Repayment Date for the interest free loan of $356,000 provided to Mr Burton on 27 November 2014 to fund Mr Burton’s acquisition of 4,000,000 Plan Shares under the TNG Employee Share Plan;
-
(c) the value of the financial benefit being provided is:
-
(i) the value of the extension of the Repayment Date to Mr Burton, which can be estimated by determining the amount of interest that would be paid by Mr Burton on a loan of $356,000 (had it not been interest free) for a four year extension period, at an assumed interest rate of 1.60%, being the term deposit rate for a term deposit of $500,000 for a one year term provided by the Company’s bankers, National Australia Bank on 24 September 2019; and
-
(ii) the lost opportunity cost to the Company of providing the four year extension to the Repayment Date on an interest free basis. The value of the lost opportunity cost to the Company would be the value that the Company would earn from holding $356,000 in a term deposit bank account for the term of the extension. On this basis, the value of the lost opportunity cost has been estimated as $356,000 multiplied by an interest rate of 1.60% (being the term deposit rate for a term deposit of $500,000 for a one year term provided by the Company’s bankers, National Australia Bank on 24 September 2019) multiplied by the four year term of the proposed extension.
This can be summarised as follows:
11
| Value of Repayment Date extension to Mr Burton |
Value of opportunity cost to Company |
|---|---|
| $356,000 x 1.60% x 4 =$22,784 |
$356,000 x 1.60% x 4 =$22,784 |
- (d) the financial benefit will be provided to Mr Burton as soon as practicable after the Meeting, and in any event within 15 months after the date of the Meeting;
(e) the relevant interests of Mr Burton in securities of the Company as at the date of this Notice are set out below:
| Shares1 | Options2 |

(g) the primary purpose of the extension of the Repayment Date is to provide Mr Burton additional time to repay the purchase price of the Plan Shares in recognition of Mr Burton’s contribution to the growth and continued success of the Company, and to reduce the likelihood of a significant number of Shares being sold in a short space of time in order to repay the purchase price;

(i) the financial benefit to be provided to Mr Burton by way of extension of the Repayment Date is reasonable and appropriate in the circumstances; and
-
(ii) it is not considered that there are any significant opportunity costs to the Company or benefits foregone by the Company in granting the extension of the Repayment Date upon the terms proposed;
-
(j) in forming their recommendations, each Director considered the experience, and contribution to the Company, of Mr Burton, the current market price of Shares, and the likelihood of Mr Burton’s Plan Shares being sold to repay the purchase price of the Plan Shares; and
-
(k) the Board is not aware of any other information that would be reasonably required by Shareholders to allow them to make a decision whether it is in the best interests of the Company to pass Resolution 7.
8. RESOLUTION 7 – APPROVAL OF 10% PLACEMENT CAPACITY
8.1 General
ASX Listing Rule 7.1A provides that an Eligible Entity (as defined below) may seek shareholder approval by special resolution passed at an annual general meeting to have the capacity to issue up to that number of Equity Securities (as defined below) equal to 10% of its issued capital ( 10% Placement Capacity ) without using that company’s existing 15% annual placement capacity granted under ASX Listing Rule 7.1.
An Eligible Entity is one that, as at the date of the relevant annual general meeting:
-
(a) is not included in the S&P/ASX 300 Index; and
-
(b) has a maximum market capitalisation (excluding restricted securities and securities quoted on a deferred settlement basis) of $300,000,000.
As at the date of this Notice, the Company is an Eligible Entity as it is not included in the S&P/ASX 300 Index and has a current market capitalisation of $100,084,516 (based on the number of Shares on issue and the closing price of Shares on the ASX on 23 September 2019).
An Equity Security is a share, a unit in a trust, a right to a share or unit in a trust or option, an option over an issued or unissued security, a convertible security, or, any security that ASX decides to classify as an equity security.
Any Equity Securities issued under the 10% Placement Capacity must be in the same class as an existing class of quoted Equity Securities.
As at the date of this Notice, the Company currently has one class of quoted Equity Securities on issue, being the Shares (ASX Code: TNG).
13
If Shareholders approve Resolution 8, the number of Equity Securities the Company may issue under the 10% Placement Capacity will be determined in accordance with the formula prescribed in ASX Listing Rule 7.1A.2.
Resolution 8 is a special resolution. Accordingly, at least 75% of votes cast by Shareholders present and eligible to vote at the Meeting must be in favour of Resolution 8 for it to be passed.
8.2 Technical information required by ASX Listing Rule 7.1A
Pursuant to and in accordance with ASX Listing Rule 7.3A, the information below is provided in relation to this Resolution 8:
(a) Minimum Price
The minimum price at which the Equity Securities may be issued is 75% of the volume weighted average price of Equity Securities in that class, calculated over the 15 ASX trading days on which trades in that class were recorded immediately before:
-
(i) the date on which the price at which the Equity Securities are to be issued is agreed; or
-
(ii) if the Equity Securities are not issued within 5 ASX trading days of the date in paragraph (a), the date on which the Equity Securities are issued.
(b) Date of Issue
The Equity Securities may be issued under the 10% Placement Capacity commencing on the date of the Meeting and expiring on the first to occur of the following:
-
(i) 12 months after the date of this Meeting; and
-
(ii) the date of approval by Shareholders of any transaction under ASX Listing Rules 11.1.2 (a significant change to the nature or scale of the Company’s activities) or 11.2 (disposal of the Company’s main undertaking) (after which date, an approval under Listing Rule 7.1A ceases to be valid),
( 10% Placement Capacity Period ).
(c) Risk of voting dilution
Any issue of Equity Securities under the 10% Placement Capacity will dilute the interests of Shareholders who do not receive any Shares under the issue.
If Resolution 8 is approved by Shareholders and the Company issues the maximum number of Equity Securities available under the 10% Placement Capacity, the economic and voting dilution of existing Shares would be as shown in the table below.
The table below shows the dilution of existing Shareholders calculated in accordance with the formula outlined in ASX Listing Rule 7.1A(2), on the basis of the market price of Shares and the number of Equity Securities on issue as at 23 September 2019.
14
The table also shows the voting dilution impact where the number of Shares on issue (Variable A in the formula) changes and the economic dilution where there are changes in the issue price of Shares issued under the 10% Placement Capacity.
| Number of Shares on Issue (Variable ‘A’ in ASX Listing Rule 7.1A2) |

*The number of Shares on issue (Variable A in the formula) could increase as a result of the issue of Shares that do not require Shareholder approval (such as under a prorata rights issue or scrip issued under a takeover offer) or that are issued with Shareholder approval under Listing Rule 7.1.
The table above uses the following assumptions:
-
There are currently 1,124,545,124 Shares on issue.
-
The issue price set out above is the closing price of the Shares on the ASX on 23 September 2019.
-
The Company issues the maximum possible number of Equity Securities under the 10% Placement Capacity.
-
The Company has not issued any Equity Securities in the 12 months prior to the Meeting that were not issued under an exception in ASX Listing Rule 7.2, with approval under ASX Listing Rule 7.1, or which have been ratified under ASX Listing Rule 7.4.
-
The issue of Equity Securities under the 10% Placement Capacity consists only of Shares. It is assumed that no Options are exercised into Shares before the date of issue of the Equity Securities.
-
The calculations above do not show the dilution that any one particular Shareholder will be subject to. All Shareholders should consider the dilution caused to their own shareholding depending on their specific circumstances.
-
This table does not set out any dilution pursuant to approvals under ASX Listing Rule 7.1.
-
The 10% voting dilution reflects the aggregate percentage dilution against the issued share capital at the time of issue. This is why the voting dilution is shown in each example as 10%.
-
The table does not show an example of dilution that may be caused to a particular Shareholder by reason of placements under the 10% Placement Capacity, based on that Shareholder’s holding at the date of the Meeting.
Shareholders should note that there is a risk that:
15
-
(i) the market price for the Company’s Shares may be significantly lower on the issue date than on the date of the Meeting; and
-
(ii) the Shares may be issued at a price that is at a discount to the market price for those Shares on the date of issue.
(d) Purpose of Issue under 10% Placement Capacity
The Company may issue Equity Securities under the 10% Placement Capacity for the following purposes:
-
(i) as cash consideration in which case the Company intends to use funds raised for the further advancement of evaluation and preplanning activities for development of the Mount Peake Project, financing and development of the Mount Peake Project, acquisition of new resources or assets or investments, exploration expenditure on the Company’s assets and general working capital; or
-
(ii) as non-cash consideration for the acquisition of new resources or assets or investments, in such circumstances the Company will provide a valuation of the non-cash consideration as required by listing Rule 7.1A.3.
The Company will comply with the disclosure obligations under Listing Rules 7.1A(4) and 3.10.5A upon issue of any Equity Securities.
(e) Allocation policy under the 10% Placement Capacity
The recipients of the Equity Securities to be issued under the 10% Placement Capacity have not yet been determined. However, the recipients of Equity Securities could consist of current Shareholders or new investors (or both), none of whom will be related parties of the Company.
The Company will determine the recipients at the time of the issue under the 10% Placement Capacity, having regard to the following factors:
-
(i) the purpose of the issue;
-
(ii) alternative methods for raising funds available to the Company at that time, including, but not limited to, an entitlement issue or other offer where existing Shareholders may participate;
-
(iii) the effect of the issue of the Equity Securities on the control of the Company;
-
(iv) the circumstances of the Company, including, but not limited to, the financial position and solvency of the Company;
-
(v) prevailing market conditions; and
-
(vi) advice from corporate, financial and broking advisers (if applicable).
Further, if the Company is successful in acquiring new resources, assets or investments, it is likely that the recipients under the 10% Placement Capacity will be vendors of the new resources, assets or investments.
16
(f) Previous approval under ASX Listing Rule 7.1A
The Company last obtained approval from its Shareholders pursuant to ASX Listing Rule 7.1A at the annual general meeting held on 30 November 2015.
During the 12 month period preceding the date of the Meeting, being on and from 18 November 2018, the Company issued 163,474,323 Shares which represents approximately 18.09% of the total diluted number of Equity Securities on issue in the Company on 18 November 2018, which was 903,651,025.
Further details of the issues of Equity Securities by the Company during the 12 month period preceding the date of the Meeting are set out in Schedule 1.
(g) Compliance with ASX Listing Rules 7.1A.4 and 3.10.5A
When the Company issues Equity Securities pursuant to the 10% Placement Capacity, it must give to ASX:
- (i) a list of the recipients of the Equity Securities and the number of Equity Securities issued to each (not for release to the market), in accordance with Listing Rule 7.1A.4; and
(ii) the information required by Listing Rule 3.10.5A for release to the market.
8.3 Voting Exclusion
A voting exclusion statement is included in this Notice. As at the date of this Notice, the Company has not invited any existing Shareholder to participate in an issue of Equity Securities under ASX Listing Rule 7.1A. Therefore, no existing Shareholders will be excluded from voting on Resolution 8.
9. RESOLUTION 8 – SPILL RESOLUTION
If less than 25% of the votes cast on Resolution 1 are voted against adoption of the Remuneration Report, the Chair will withdraw Resolution 8.
9.1 General
The Corporations Act requirements for this Resolution to be put to vote are set out in Section 2.2.
The effect of this Resolution being passed is the Company will be required to hold another meeting of Shareholders within 90 days of the date of this Meeting ( Spill Meeting ) and the Vacating Directors will cease to hold office immediately before the end of the Spill Meeting. The business of the Spill Meeting will be to put to vote resolutions to appoint persons to offices vacated by the Vacating Directors.
In the event a Spill Meeting is required a separate notice of meeting will be distributed to Shareholders with details about those persons that will seek election as directors of the Company at the Spill Meeting.
17
