Chairman’s Address, 2020 Annual General Meeting
Good Morning Ladies and Gentlemen,
Before beginning the formal part of the meeting, I would like to reflect on the year’s achievements and what has been an extremely challenging year.
I will leave for our Managing Director, Paul Burton, to explain in detail the year’s activities, but I am very pleased to recap the substantial progress that has been achieved at TNG’s Mount Peake Project since the Company’s last AGM, despite the impacts of the global novel coronavirus pandemic.
The key milestones that I would like to highlight include:
-
significant progress with the Front-End Engineering and Design study for by SMS group, which is now in its final stages;
-
the execution of binding life-of-mine off-take agreements with Vimson Group for 100% of high-purity iron ore and with GUNVOR for the remaining 40% of vanadium pentoxide production – completing all of our off-take agreements;
-
significant progress with permitting with the submission of the Revised Mining Management Plan for the Mount Peake mine site, the submission of the Draft Environmental Impact Statement for the Darwin TIVAN[®] Processing Facility and the issue of an Authority Certificate for the mine site of the Mount Peake Project by the Aboriginal Areas Protection Authority;
-
improved coverage of the Company’s key Intellectual Property with the successful expansion of TIVAN[®] patent and TNG360 trademark;
-
an extension of the financing mandate with our key financier, KfW IPEX-Bank mandate and the appointment of KPMG Corporate Finance as our global financial advisor;
-
positive engagement with Northern Australia Infrastructure Facility or NAIF regarding infrastructure funding for the Project;
-
the execution of a new Project Facilitation Agreement with the Northern Territory Government;
-
the completion of pre-qualification tenders of the majority of the Non-Process Infrastructure work streams, with contractors short-listed;
-
the execution of a strategic partner development agreement with SMS group for development of carbonneutral hydrogen technology to be applied to the TIVAN[®] Process; and
-
the recent successful establishment of a Vanadium Redox Flow Battery or VRFB business unit as part of our vertical integration strategy for Mount Peake.
More recently, TNG undertook an Entitlement Issue to raise up to $12.5 million which closed with strong take-up of 70%, raising $8.8 million.
This is a significant list of achievements which stands out even more considering the challenges and restrictions that have been imposed as a result of the COVID-19 global pandemic – which impacted virtually all work streams across the Project at one time or another.
With this in mind, I would like to take this opportunity to thank Paul Burton and his team and my fellow Directors for their hard work and commitment during what has been in many respects an unprecedented year for the Company.
Most importantly, I would like to sincerely thank our loyal shareholders for their continued support and for their patience as the Company strives to develop the world-class strategic project at Mount Peake.
The TNG Board is focused and committed to developing the Mount Peake Project and bringing the Company’s vision to fruition. Mount Peake is a world-scale project and, as such, is not without its challenges, but I firmly believe we have the right people in place to tackle and solve matters as they arise and to achieve our core objectives.
I believe that with the continuity of the existing team and the hard work being done across the business, we will have an exciting year in 2021.
John Elkington Chairman

PROJECT OVERVIEW: High-Purity Products GROWING GLOBAL MARKETS FOR TNG PRODUCTS
==> picture [105 x 62] intentionally omitted <==
TITANIUM DIOXIDE PIGMENT
TiO 2
-
➢ White pigment used globally, non-toxic and environmentally friendly
-
➢ Global demand is estimated at
-
6.5Mtpa, estimated 8.5Mtpa by 2025
-
➢ 60% used in coatings and 25% in plastics

==> picture [331 x 171] intentionally omitted <==
Vanadium Redox Flow Batteries - VRFB
THE FUTURE OF ENERGY STORAGE
-
➢ VRFB is used for energy storage, a process by which energy created at one time (i.e. solar, windmill) is preserved for use at a later stage
-
➢ Vanadium is the only element used in VRFB
-
➢ Better for large scale storage and for long-duration applications (>6 h)
Advantages of VRFB
-
➢ Longe life cycle – 20 yrs vs 5-8 yrs (LIB)
-
➢ Low degradation – ability to charge and discharge over 35,000 times
-
➢ Simple maintenance, safer
-
➢ Recyclable – the electrolyte may be reusable at the end of life cycle. Other battery components may be recycled
-
➢ Sustainable; no emissions and noise pollution from the VRFB and cannot be affected by environmental temperature
