DRILLING EXPANDS STRATEGIC METALS RESOURCE POTENTIAL AT MOUNT PEAKE

NEW DRILLING SUPPORTS EXPLORATION TARGET OF 500-700Mt[1]

Key Points:

  • Wide intersections up to 206m received from RC drilling

  • Consistent assay grades with existing Mount Peake Resource

  • Underlines the potential of Mount Peake Project Area (MPPA) as a world-class iron-vanadium-titanium region

Australian resources company TNG Limited (ASX: TNG) is pleased to advise that a recently completed regional drilling program at its flagship Mount Peake Iron-Vanadium-Titanium Project in the Northern Territory has confirmed the potential to further increase the Company’s resource inventory in the region.

The reverse-circulation (RC) drilling programme was aimed at confirming the presence of additional magnetite-gabbro - the host to the iron-vanadiumtitanium mineralisation at the Mount Peake deposit - within very large magnetic features around the existing Mount Peake deposit. Confirmation of additional magnetite-gabbro could significantly expand the resource potential in the Mount MPPA where TNG holds over 2000km[2] of prospective ground.

Three large magnetic zones and one isolated magnetic anomaly were identified from geophysics and fieldwork to have the potential for new vanadium- and titanium-bearing magnetite zones (see Figure 1 ).

Two of these magnetic zones are now confirmed as large magnetite-rich gabbro bodies while one drill hole intersected a large granitic body in the southern anomaly. The northern anomaly drill holes intersected gneissic bodies ( see Tables 1 and 2 attached ).

Four drill holes intersected significant true widths of magnetite-rich gabbro:

12MPBBERC001 64 180 116 -55° 180°

Table 1:Signifincat Intersections in Magnetite-gabbro.

Drillhole 12MPBBERC001 is of particular interest as this anomaly formed part of a relatively subdued magnetic feature. The presence of magnetite gabbro in this region significantly enhances the Company’s understanding of the geology of the area and the potential for large magnetic gabbro bodies to be present even in relatively low magnetic areas.

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

Assay results from these holes have produced grades consistent with those noted at the Mount Peake deposit (Table 2) and provide further encouragement that higher mineralised grades may exist within the magnetic features. Further drilling will be required to substantiate this but as mineralisation has been identified in this preliminary phase the potential is encouraging. It also provides encouragement to further assess untested magnetic features in the MPPA.

Table 2: Significant analytical results, (XRF).

The company concludes that these results open up the potential in the MMPA for a substantial increase to the current Mount Peake JORC Indicated and Inferred Resource of 160Mt @ 0.3% V2O5, 5% TiO2 and 23% Fe ( Indicated 110Mt @ 0.29% V2O5, 5.3% TiO2 and 23% Fe; Inferred 48Mt @ 0.24% V2O5, 4.5% TiO2 and 21% Fe) .

The updated resource model compiled by Snowden Mining Consultants (published on 12[th] October 2011) revealed that the Mount Peake deposit itself remains open to the east. This together with the latest encouraging drilling results provides further support for the Company’s Exploration Target[1] for the Mount Peake Project Area (MPPA) of 500-700Mt with a grade range of 0.2-0.4% V2O5, 20-40% Fe203, 4-6% Ti02.

Further drilling to substantiate the resource potential in the MPPA leading to additional JORC estimates will be carried out during the next diamond drilling programme, that will be included in forthcoming programmes to test the copper prospects the recently acquired Mount Hardy Copper Field and Walllabana Copper project all of which fall into the broad MPPA.

All further work will be assessed following completion of the current Pre-Feasibility Study.
