TNG’s Managing Director, Mr Paul Burton, said he was pleased to report that the transaction with ECE announced on 3 August was progressing well and on schedule.

“We are looking forward to concluding this transaction, which will lay the foundations for further growth of the company and the development of the Mount Peake Project as the cornerstone of a substantial ferrous metals business,” he added.
