RESOURCE DRILLING COMPLETED AND POTENTIAL NEW VANADIUM – BEARING MAGNETITE ZONES IDENTIFIED MOUNT PEAKE IRON-VANADIUM PROJECT

Highlights

  • Program of 23 RC drill holes completed for 2,748m.

  • Continuous homogeneous magnetite mineralisation intersected.

  • Samples shipped to laboratory for assay.

  • Potential new vanadium-bearing magnetite zone identified 3km east of Mount Peake deposit.

Australian resources company TNG Limited (ASX: TNG) is pleased to advise that reverse circulation (RC) drilling has now been completed at its flagship Mount Peake Iron-Vanadium-Titanium Project in the Northern Territory ( see Figure 1 ).

A total of 23 RC drill holes were completed for a total of 2,748m of drilling, which was designed to provide further information for a revised resource estimate ( see Figure 2 ).

A total of 2,243 samples have been shipped to the laboratory for assay. Results are expected to be available in 3-4 weeks.

As previously reported to the ASX, logging of drill material in both the recent diamond drilling and this phase of RC drilling has indicated the presence of continuous magnetite mineralisation over significant widths. The intersections are representative of true width and reflect homogeneous magnetite mineralisation ( see Appendix 1 ).

The drilling has also demonstrated the shallow nature of the overburden, which has positive implications for the future mine plan at Mount Peake.

The grade and widths reported from the drilling to date are expected to provide support for an increase in both tonnes and grade in the next JORC resource update for the Mount Peake Project, which will be undertaken by Snowden Mining Industry Consultants once all the information is available.

- Potential New Regional Titanium Vanadium Discovery

TNG is also pleased to report that it has identified two potential new vanadiumbearing magnetite zones within TNG’s 100% owned licenses at the Mount Peake Project ( See Figure 3 ).

During regional sampling a surface grab sample of magnetic material from a large magnetic anomaly located 3km east of the Mount Peake deposit and extending over an area of 5km x 1km, was collected and assayed using the Company's portable NITON XRF[1] analyzer.

Results from the NITON recorded anomalously high readings of 22% for titanium , 0.4% for vanadium and 56% for iron . Samples have been collected for confirmation by laboratory XRF analysis.

1 Niton is a field portable hand held Xray Fluorescence Analytical instrument. Values recorded may not be equivalent to laboratory generated assays, may be subject to external factors but are a qualitative guide.

The Company has also identified a second large magnetic body from re-assessment of available geophysics located 10km to the south-east of the Mount Peake deposit ( see Figure 3 ). This has a similar geophysical response and signature to both the Mount Peake deposit and the newly identified magnetite anomaly to the east.

Both new targets provide further support for the Company’s Exploration Target[2] for the area of between 500 – 700Mt (at average grades of 0.2-0.4% V205, 5-9% TiO2, 25-35% Fe).

These targets will be explored during the next field programme

2 The potential quantity and grade is conceptual in nature, that there has been insufficient exploration to define a Mineral Resource and that it is uncertain if further exploration will result in the determination of a Mineral Resources.
