TNG Share Purchase Plan
Not for release or distribution in the United States
30 November 2016
Dear Shareholder
Offer to participate in the TNG Share Purchase Plan
The Directors of TNG Limited (ASX: TNG) ( TNG ) are pleased to offer you the opportunity to participate in the TNG Share Purchase Plan ( SPP ).
The SPP offers eligible shareholders an opportunity to purchase further shares in TNG ( New Shares ) to a value of approximately A$1,000, A$2,000, A$5,000, A$10,000 or A$15,000 at a discount and free from brokerage and transaction costs.
The offer price for the New Shares will be A$0.135 per New Share. This represents a 14.73% discount to the volume weighted average price of TNG shares for the five trading day period up to and including 30 November 2016 (the trading day prior to the announcement of the SPP) of A$0.158.
Any New Shares not subscribed for by eligible shareholders under the SPP will comprise the shortfall ( SPP Shortfall ) and may be offered to institutional or sophisticated investors as a separate placement at the discretion of the Directors, up to the limit available to TNG under its placement capacity in accordance with Listing Rule 7.1 ( SPP Shortfall Offer ).
Eligible shareholders who subscribe for New Shares under the SPP, and investors who subscribe for New Shares under the SPP Shortfall Offer, will be allocated one (1) free attaching option ( Option ) for every two (2) New Shares subscribed for. It is proposed that TNG will apply to have the Options quoted on ASX. Each Option will have an exercise price of A$0.20 and an expiry date of 15 June 2018.
The SPP is not underwritten and will be capped at a total amount of A$4 million (before costs). A scale-back policy will be applied if valid applications exceed A$4 million. TNG reserves absolute discretion regarding the amount raised under the SPP and the exercise of its right to accept additional funds or to scale-back applications. Should a scale-back happen, you may be allocated New Shares to a value which is less than the parcel of New Shares you applied for and the difference will be refunded to you.
Funds raised under the SPP will be used for the ongoing development activities at TNG’s Mount Peake Project and to provide general working capital.
Participation in the SPP is entirely optional and open to shareholders who were holders of fully paid ordinary shares in TNG as at 4.00pm Australian Western Standard Time ( AWST ) on Wednesday, 30 November 2016 and whose registered address is in Australia or New Zealand.
The SPP will open on (and the SPP offer documents will be despatched to eligible shareholders by) 5 December 2016 and will remain open until 5.00pm AWST on 19 December 2016. As soon as practicable after the close of the SPP, TNG will make an ASX announcement as to the outcome of the SPP and the number of New Shares to be issued.

1. Details of the SPP and the SPP Option Offer
1.1 Background
TNG is offering Eligible Shareholders the opportunity to subscribe, under a share purchase plan ( SPP ), for up to A$15,000 worth of Shares at an issue price of A$0.135 to raise a maximum of A$4,000,000 (before costs).
The SPP is not underwritten. Any Shares not subscribed for by Eligible Shareholders under the SPP will comprise the shortfall ( SPP Shortfall ) and may be offered to institutional or sophisticated investors as a separate placement at the discretion of the Directors, up to the limit available to the Company under its placement capacity in accordance with Listing Rule 7.1 ( SPP Shortfall Offer ).
Eligible Shareholders who subscribe for Shares under the SPP, and investors who subscribe for Shares under the SPP Shortfall Offer (together SPP Subscribers ), are also being offered one (1) free attaching Option for every two (2) Shares subscribed for. The offer of these Options ( SPP Option Offer ) is being made under this Prospectus.
It is proposed that the Options will be listed on the ASX. Each Option will have an exercise price of A$0.20 per Option and will expire on 15 June 2018 and will otherwise be issued on the terms set out in Section .
All of the Shares issued upon the future exercise of the Options offered under this Prospectus will rank equally with the Shares on issue at the date of this Prospectus. Please refer to Section for further information regarding the rights and liabilities attaching to the Shares.
The Company has applied to ASX for a waiver of Listing Rule 10.11 to allow Directors who are Eligible Shareholders (and entities controlled by them) to participate in the SPP and in the SPP Option Offer without the approval of Shareholders. The Directors will not be able to participate in the SPP or the SPP Option Offer unless the waiver is granted by ASX or Shareholder approval is obtained.
1.2
The SPP Option Offer
By this Prospectus, the Company makes an offer of up to 14,814,814 Options to SPP Subscribers (or their nominees) on the basis of one (1) free attaching Option for every two (2) Shares subscribed for under the SPP or the SPP Shortfall Offer, as applicable. Where the determination of the entitlement of any SPP Subscriber results in a fraction of an Option, such fraction will be rounded down to the nearest whole Option.
The Company has as at the date of this Prospectus 751,772,713 Shares and 7,000,000 unlisted options on issue.
1.3
Opening and Closing Dates
As set out in the indicative timetable, the SPP Option Offer will open on 5 December 2016 ( Opening Date ) and is anticipated to close on 19 December 2016 ( Closing Date ). The Opening Date and Closing Date for the SPP Option Offer are indicative only and subject to change without notice. The Company may vary these dates, including to close the SPP Option Offer early, extend the Closing Date or to withdraw the SPP Option Offer at any time prior to issue of the Options. If any of the dates are changed, subsequent dates may also change. You are encouraged to lodge your Application Form as soon as possible after the Opening Date.
The Company will accept Application Forms for the SPP Option Offer from the Opening Date until 5.00pm AWST on the Closing Date or such other date as the Directors in their absolute discretion shall determine, subject to the requirements of the Listing Rules.
1
1.4 Minimum and Maximum Subscription
There is no minimum subscription under the SPP Option Offer.
The amount to be raised under the SPP is capped at A$4,000,000 (before costs). This means that the SPP Option Offer is capped at a total of 14,814,814 Options. If acceptances are received in respect of more than 14,814,814 Options, acceptances will be scaled back in accordance with the mechanisms described in the SPP Offer Documents accompanying this Prospectus.
1.5
Applying for Options
If you would like to apply for Options, please complete the enclosed combined Application Form which accompanies this Prospectus and return it to the Registry at:
Computershare Investor Services Pty Limited GPO BOX 505 Melbourne, Victoria 3001, Australia
An Applicant may only accept the SPP Option Offer on the basis of one (1) Option for every two (2) Shares subscribed for pursuant to the SPP or the SPP Shortfall Offer.
The SPP Option Offer is non-renounceable. Accordingly, an SPP Subscriber may not sell or transfer all or part of their entitlement under the SPP Option Offer.
If the number of Options subscribed for is more than the number of Options to which the Applicant is entitled under the SPP Option Offer (including because of a scale back of Shares to be issued under the SPP – see section entitled "Applications may be scaled back" in the SPP offer booklet), the Company reserves the right to return the Application Form and not issue any Options to the Applicant or to accept it in respect of a lesser number of Options.
The return of a completed Application Form will constitute the Eligible Shareholder’s offer to subscribe for Options on the terms and conditions of the SPP Option Offer. Once an Application has been made, it cannot be revoked. No notice of acceptance of the Application will be provided to the Applicant by the Company or the Registry.
If the Application Form is not completed correctly it may still be treated as valid. The Directors’ decision as to whether to treat the acceptance as valid and how to construe, amend or complete the Application Form is final.
1.6 No underwriting
The SPP Option Offer will not be underwritten.
1.7
Issue of Options and sending of security holder statements
The Company will not be obliged to issue any Options and the Applicant will not be entitled to receive or be issued any Options until the Board resolves to issue the Options.
The Directors expect that Options under the SPP Option Offer will be issued on or about 22 December 2016. Holding statements in relation to those Options are expected to be dispatched by 22 December 2016.
Applicants who sell Options before they receive their holding statements will do so at their own risk. The Company and the Registry disclaim all liability, whether in negligence or otherwise, to any person who trades in Options before receiving their holding statement, whether on the basis of a confirmation of allocation provided by the Company, the Registry, a broker or otherwise.
2
1.8 ASX quotation
An application will be made to ASX for the Official Quotation of the Options offered by this Prospectus within seven days of the date of this Prospectus. Subject to approval being granted by ASX, it is expected that the quotation and trading of Options issued under the SPP Option Offer will commence within five Business Days after the date of issue provided the requirements for quotation in the Listing Rules (including for example that there are at least 50 holders with a marketable parcel) have been met. If permission is not granted by ASX for the Official Quotation of the Options offered by this Prospectus within 3 months after the date of this Prospectus, the Company will repay, as soon as practicable, without interest, all application monies received pursuant to this Prospectus, or take such other action as allowed under the Corporations Act.
1.9 SPP Shortfall
Any Shares not subscribed for by Eligible Shareholders under the SPP will comprise the SPP Shortfall and may be offered to institutional or sophisticated investors as a separate placement at the discretion of the Directors pursuant to the SPP Shortfall Offer.
The offer of Options under the SPP Shortfall Offer is a separate offer made pursuant to this Prospectus and will remain open after the Closing Date. Subscribers under the SPP Shortfall Offer will be offered Shares at the same issue price at which the Eligible Shareholders were offered Shares under the SPP, together with 1 free attaching Option for every 2 Shares subscribed for, pursuant to this Prospectus.
Unless Shareholder approval is sought and obtained, the total number of Shares and Options issued under the SPP Shortfall Offer will be limited to the number which may be issued by the Company under its placement capacity in accordance with Listing Rule 7.1. As at the date of this Prospectus TNG’s placement capacity is 110,690,907 equity securities. However, this figure will decrease by the number of Options issued under the SPP Option Offer. Shares issued under the SPP will fall within an exception to Listing Rule 7.1 and will not count towards TNG’s placement capacity.
The Directors do not represent that any application to participate in the SPP Shortfall Offer will be successful. The Company reserves the right to issue to an applicant for Shares under the SPP Shortfall Offer a lesser number of Shares than the number applied for or reject an application or not proceed with the issuing of the Shares pursuant to the SPP Shortfall Offer or part thereof. If the number of Shares issued to an applicant is less than the number applied for by the applicant, surplus application monies will be refunded to the applicant in full. Interest will not be paid on any application monies refunded.
If you are invited to subscribe for Shares pursuant to the SPP Shortfall Offer, and you wish to subscribe, please complete an SPP Shortfall Application Form. The SPP Shortfall Application Form allows you to apply for both Shares offered under the SPP Shortfall Offer and Options offered under this Prospectus.
1.10
Taxation implications
The Directors do not consider it appropriate to give Shareholders or potential investors advice regarding the taxation consequences of subscribing for Options under this Prospectus.
The Company, its advisers and its officers do not accept any responsibility or liability for any such taxation consequences to Shareholders or potential investors. As a result, Shareholders and potential investors should consult their professional tax adviser in connection with subscribing for Options under this Prospectus.
1.11 Major activities and financial information
A summary of the major activities and financial information relating to the Company for the financial year ended 30 June 2016 is in the Annual Report which was announced on the ASX on 27 October 2016.
3
A summary of activities relating to the Company is also set out in the quarterly activities reports lodged with ASX on 13 April 2016, 14 July 2016 and 21 October 2016. The Company's continuous disclosure notices (i.e. ASX announcements) since the date of lodgement of the Annual Report on 27 October 2016 are listed in Section .
Copies of these documents are available free of charge from the Company. Directors strongly recommend that Shareholders and potential investors review these and all other ASX announcements prior to deciding whether or not to subscribe for Options under this Prospectus.
1.12 CHESS and issuer sponsorship
The Company participates in the Clearing House Electronic Subregister System, known as CHESS. All trading on ASX in Shares and in Options will be settled through CHESS. ASX Settlement, a wholly owned subsidiary of ASX, operates CHESS in accordance with the Listing Rules and ASX Settlement Operating Rules.
The Company's Registry operates an electronic issuer-sponsored sub-register and an electronic CHESS sub-register. Both these sub-registers constitute the Company's principal register of shareholders.
Holders of Options will not receive a certificate but will receive a statement of their holding of Options.
If you are broker sponsored or a participant in CHESS, ASX Settlement will send you a CHESS statement.

2. Risk factors
This Section discusses some of the key risks associated with an investment in TNG Securities. A number of risks and uncertainties, which are both specific to TNG and of a more general nature, may adversely affect the operating and financial performance or position of TNG, which in turn may affect the value of TNG Securities and the value of an investment in TNG.
The risks and uncertainties described below are not an exhaustive list of the risks facing TNG or associated with an investment in TNG. Additional risks and uncertainties may also become important factors that adversely affect TNG’s operating and financial performance or position.
This document is not financial product advice and has been prepared without taking into account your investment objectives or personal circumstances. Before investing in TNG Securities, you should consider whether an investment in TNG Securities is suitable for you. Potential investors should consider publicly available information on TNG (such as that available on the websites of TNG and ASX), carefully consider their personal circumstances and consult their stockbroker, solicitor, accountant or other professional adviser before making an investment decision.
2.1 TNG specific risks
(a) Capital requirements and impact on operations
TNG’s operations including the development of the Mount Peake Project and continued exploration of its other projects will require substantial expenditures. The funds raised through the SPP, even if fully subscribed, together with cash reserves will not be sufficient to successfully achieve all the objectives of TNG's business strategy. Successful development of TNG’s projects will require significant additional amounts of capital in due course. In particular, the capital expenditure estimate for development of the Mount Peake Project is A$970 million, which will need to be raised through a mixture of debt and equity financing if the Mount Peake Project is to be developed.
There is no assurance that TNG will be successful in raising additional capital under the SPP or the SPP Shortfall Offer or in the future as and when it is required in order to fully finance and develop TNG’s projects. Failure to obtain additional funding may cause TNG to postpone any development plans, forfeit rights to some or all of its projects or reduce its operating structures, including staff and overhead levels, which may delay or suspend TNG’s business strategy and could have a material adverse effect on TNG’s activities.
Any additional equity financing may be dilutive to TNG’s existing Shareholders and any debt financing, if available, may involve restrictive covenants which limit TNG’s operations and business strategy.
(b) Mount Peake Project
The Company’s Mount Peake Project is a Vanadium – Titanium – Iron deposit located on pastoral lease land, 300km north-northwest of Alice Springs in the Northern Territory, close to existing road, rail and gas infrastructure.
In July 2015, the Company completed a Definitive Feasibility Study which found that the Mount Peake Project could generate a pre-tax internal rate of return of 41% based on a pre-production capital cost of A$970 million, a total estimated life of mine net cash flow of A$11.6 billion and operating cash flows of A$13.6 billion over an initial 17 year project life.
On 20 September 2016 the Company announced that it had appointed Gresham Advisory Partners Limited as a corporate advisor to assist with the development of a funding strategy in respect of the Mount Peake Project, evaluation of debt and equity funding options and introductions to potential funders and investors.
5
On 9 November 2016, the Company announced that it had received further approvals with respect to the construction of creek-crossing causeways from the Traditional Owner Group for the Mount Peake Project area.
The Company is continuing to evaluate the project financing for, and the development of, the Mount Peake Project, and to obtain the necessary regulatory approvals and permits. There is no guarantee that the Company will secure project financing or receive all regulatory approvals required for the development of the Mount Peake Project.
(c)
Agreements
The Company has entered into several non-binding memoranda of understanding, heads of agreement and letters of intent with various parties in respect of off-take, development, operations and marketing commitments and strategic supply agreements. Many of these agreements are non-binding and preliminary in nature. There is no guarantee that legally binding contractual arrangements will eventuate. There is also a risk that these arrangements may result in binding agreements on terms that are less favourable to the Company than anticipated.
The Company is also currently in discussions with various parties regarding proposed new memoranda of understanding in relation to potential applications for the Company's products, including in vanadium redox batteries. There is no guarantee that such discussions will result in the entry into non-binding memoranda of understanding or legally binding agreements.
(d)
TIVAN[®] Metallurgical Process
The Company has developed a metallurgical process for the recovery of high purity vanadium from the Mount Peake Project. The process is subject to an international patent application (patent pending) and the process is registered with the trademark name of TIVAN.
The Company has completed the pilot metallurgical test work for the TIVAN® refinery. While all test work to date and the pilot plant test work has indicated the technical and commercial viability of the TIVAN® process, there is no guarantee that the TIVAN[®] process will up-scale to an industrial–sized plant for use on the Mount Peake Project.
The Company entered a memorandum of understanding with SMS Group GmbH ( SMS ) for the joint commercial exploitation of the TIVAN® technology and to investigate opportunities to grant each other access to their respective intellectual property and in June 2016 a subsidiary of SMS made an equity investment in the Company, subscribing for 14 million Shares. TNG and SMS have worked on a redesign of the vanadium extraction circuit for the TIVAN® refinery which has yielded improvements in processing plant operating costs and opens up the potential for further refinements and improvements in the overall process economics for capital and operating expenditure. However, there is no guarantee that the estimated cost savings, or any further improvements, will be realised.
(e)
Davis Samuel Claim
As announced to ASX on 1 July 2016, the Australian Capital Territory Court of Appeal dismissed an appeal by several parties in relation to judgements handed down against them in 2013 and 2014 in favour of the Commonwealth of Australia ( Commonwealth ) in the legal proceedings known as The Commonwealth v TNG Limited ( Davis Samuel Claim ).
This means that, with TNG having settled the claim against the Commonwealth some time ago (see ASX announcement dated 23 November 2015), TNG's involvement in these long-running proceedings is now over, subject to any further appeals by those parties. TNG holds unsatisfied judgement for considerable sums against those parties, but their ability to satisfy those debts is very doubtful.
6
There is still a risk that further appeals may be made by those parties in relation to the Davis Samuel Claim.
On 7 November 2011, TNG signed a subscription agreement with Ao-Zhong International Mineral Resources Pty Ltd (a subsidiary of the East China Mineral Exploration & Development Bureau ( ECE )) and Aosu Investment and Development Co. Pty. Ltd. (together the Subscribers ), formalising the previously announced strategic partnership with ECE ( Subscription Agreement ).
Under the Subscription Agreement, TNG represented and warranted to the Subscribers that any liability which any court may order TNG to pay in respect of the Davis Samuel Claim will not exceed a value of A$500,000. If this representation and warranty is found to be incorrect (following the final determination of the Davis Samuel Claim after any avenues of appeal which any party to the Davis Samuel Claim elects to pursue have been exhausted), TNG will be liable to pay as liquidated damages to the Subscribers an amount that is the lesser of:
(i) A$1,500,000; or
(ii) court ordered liability (including for damages and costs other than TNG’s own legal costs incurred before the date of the Subscription Agreement) x 29.999%.
The Subscribers were unwilling to enter into the Subscription Agreement unless TNG included this clause to compensate the Subscribers (up to a cap of A$1,500,000) in respect of any liability incurred as a result of the Davis Samuel Claim if TNG’s liability exceeds A$500,000. Any amount payable by TNG under the Subscription Agreement will not crystallize until such time as all avenues of appeal have been exhausted.
Based on the position as at the date of this Prospectus, the maximum exposure of TNG in relation to the liquidated damages potentially payable under the Subscription Agreement has been fully provisioned in TNG's accounts as at 30 June 2016. However, if further appeals on the Davis Samuel Claim eventuate, there is a risk that TNG's exposure for liquidated damages could increase.
(f)
Intellectual property
TNG regards its patents, copyrights, trademarks, trade secrets and similar intellectual property (including that relating to the TIVAN[®] process) as important. TNG relies on patent, trademark and copyright law, trade secret protection and duties of confidence with third parties to protect its intellectual property rights. While TNG will use all reasonable endeavours to protect these rights, the steps that TNG takes to protect its intellectual property rights may be inadequate. The unauthorised use or disclosure of its proprietary technology and systems may have adverse effects on the future operation and financial performance of TNG.
(g)
Environmental and Cultural
The locations of some of TNG's projects are considered by TNG to be culturally and environmentally sensitive.
There is a substantial level of regulation and restriction on the ability of mining companies to have access to land in Australia. The Native Title Act 1993 (Cwth) gives statutory recognition of claims of native title. See further details in paragraph below.
The Company's operations will also be subject to environmental regulation. See paragraph below.
(h) Reliance on key personnel
TNG is reliant on its management. The loss of one or more of these individuals could adversely affect TNG.
In addition, TNG’s ability to achieve its business goals effectively will require it to continue to implement and improve its management systems and to recruit and train
7
new employees and consultants. Although TNG expects to be able to do so in the future, there can be no assurance that TNG will be able to attract and retain skilled and experienced personnel and consultants.
(i)
Joint venture parties, contractors and agents
The Directors are unable to predict the risk of financial failure or default by a participant in any joint venture to which TNG may be or become a party; or insolvency or other managerial failure by any of the contractors used by TNG in any of its activities; or insolvency or other managerial failure by any of the other service providers used by TNG for any activity.
(j)
Exploration, development, mining and processing risks
Mineral exploration, project development and mining by their nature contain elements of significant risk. Ultimate and continuous success of these activities is dependent on many factors such as:
-
(i) the discovery and/or acquisition of economically recoverable ore resources; (ii) successful conclusions to bankable feasibility studies;
-
(iii) access to adequate capital for project development;
-
(iv) design and construction of efficient mining and processing facilities within capital expenditure budgets;
-
(v) securing and maintaining title to tenements;
-
(vi) obtaining consents and approvals necessary for the conduct of exploration and mining;
-
(vii) access to competent operational management and prudent financial administration, including the availability and reliability of appropriately skilled and experienced employees, contractors and consultants;
-
(viii) native title risks (see also below); and
-
(ix) adverse weather conditions which, over a prolonged period can adversely affect exploration and mining operations and the timing of revenues; and
-
(x) operational and technical risks arising once production commences.
Whether or not income will result from development of tenements depends on the successful establishment of mining operations. Factors including costs, actual mineralisation, consistency and reliability of ore grades and commodity prices affect successful project development and mining operations.
- (k)
Metallurgy
Metal and/or mineral recoveries are dependent upon the metallurgical process, and by its nature contain elements of significant risk such as:
-
(i) identifying a metallurgical process through testwork to produce a saleable metal and/or concentrate;
-
(ii) developing an economic process route to produce a metal and/or concentrate; and
-
(iii) changes in mineralogy in the ore deposit can result in inconsistent metal recovery, affecting the economic viability of the project.
-
(l)
Native title
TNG may from time to time, need to negotiate with any native title claimant for access rights to its tenements. In addition, agreement will need to be reached with native title claimants and/or holders in the event of mining. There may be significant delays and costs associated with these negotiations and to reach agreement acceptable to all relevant parties.
(m)
Environmental management
TNG’s operations are and will be subject to environmental regulation. Environmental regulations are likely to evolve in a manner that will require stricter standards and enforcement, increased fines and penalties for non-compliance and assessments of proposed projects. Environmental regulations could impact on the viability of TNG’s
8
projects. TNG may become subject to liability for pollution or other hazards against which it has not insured or cannot insure, including those in respect of past mining or other activities for which it was not responsible.
(n)
Title
All mining tenements which TNG may acquire either by application, sale and purchase or farm-in are regulated by the applicable state mining legislation.
There is no guarantee that applications will be granted as applied for (although TNG has no reason to believe that tenements will not be granted in due course). Various conditions may also be imposed as a condition of grant. In addition the relevant minister may need to consent to any transfer of tenement to TNG.
Renewal of titles is made by way of application to the relevant department. There is no guarantee that a renewal will be automatically granted other than in accordance with the applicable state mining legislation. In addition, the relevant department may impose conditions on any renewal, including relinquishment of ground.
(o)
Resource estimates
Resource estimates are expressions of judgment based on knowledge, experience and industry practice. Estimates which were valid when made may change significantly when new information becomes available. In addition, resource estimates are imprecise and depend to some extent on interpretations, which may prove to be inaccurate. Should TNG encounter mineralisation or formations different from those predicted by past sampling and drilling, resource estimates may have to be adjusted and this may affect the viability of future operations.
(p)
Option and dilution risk
Options are, by their nature, only of value at times when the exercise price is lower than the price of the underlying Shares. There is no guarantee that the Options will, at any particular time, have an exercise price which is lower than the price of Shares. The Options may be “out of the money” and may therefore have little or no value, and may expire at a time when they have no value.
On completion of the SPP Option Offer, there will be a further 14,814,814 Options (subject to rounding) on issue (assuming the SPP under this Prospectus is fully subscribed and no other options are issued or exercised).
If exercised, these Options will be converted into Shares, thereby causing the shareholdings of Shareholders to be diluted by up to 1.9% (on the basis that the SPP is fully subscribed, all of the Options offered under this Prospectus are issued, no other Shares are issued and no options on issue at the date of this Prospectus are exercised). However, each Option has an exercise price of A$0.20 which means that the Company will receive additional funds of up to approximately A$2,962,962 upon exercise of the Options, if all Options the subject of the SPP Option Offer are exercised.
(q) Proposed de-merger of base metal assets
The Company has announced a proposal to de-merge its non-core portfolio of zinc, copper and base metal assets in the Northern Territory into a new company, Todd River Resources Limited. This is intended to enable the Company to focus on its Mount Peake Project, while retaining a significant shareholding in Todd River Resources, which is intended to become one of the largest base metal companies operating in the Northern Territory.
The Company originally received approval for the proposed de-merger at a general meeting of Shareholders in May 2015, however the process was deferred due to prevailing market conditions. On 25 July 2016 the Company announced its intention to convene a general meeting of Shareholders to seek re-approval of the de-merger. The Company has sought a Class Ruling from the Australian Taxation Office in respect of the de-merger proposal, and in particular to rule that there will be no unexpected adverse tax outcomes for Shareholders from the proposed in-specie distribution.
9
The proposed-demerger was re-approved by Shareholders at the extraordinary general meeting held on 29 November 2016. The proposed de-merger will involve Todd River Resources Limited acquiring the assets from TNG and existing eligible TNG Shareholders receiving shares in Todd River Resources Limited via an in-specie distribution. It is intended that Todd River Resources Limited will undertake a capital raising by way of an initial public offering as part of its ASX listing process.
The Company has advised that, subject to market conditions and the conditions set out in the notice for the extraordinary general meeting being satisfied (including receipt of the Class Ruling from the Australian Taxation Office), it intends to proceed with the in-specie distribution in the first quarter of 2017 in conjunction with the proposed initial public offer of Todd River Resources Limited. It is expected that an updated timetable for the in-specie distribution will be announced by the Company in the first quarter of 2017.
There is no guarantee that the proposed de-merger will take place on terms acceptable to the Company, or at all. As set out in the notice of extraordinary general meeting, the proposed de-merger remains subject to a number of conditions.
If the de-merger does take place, the Company will reduce its exposure to certain of its assets, but there is no guarantee that the value obtained by the Company will reflect the underlying value of the assets being de-merged. The Company has incurred fees in progressing the de-merger, which fees may not be recovered if the de-merger does not ultimately proceed.
2.2 General risks
(a) Share market
Share market conditions may affect the price at which TNG’s Securities trade regardless of operating performance. Share market conditions are affected by many factors, such as:
(i) general economic outlook;
-
(ii) movements in, or outlook in, interest rates and inflation rates;
-
(iii) currency fluctuations;
-
(iv) commodity prices;
(v) changes in investor sentiment towards particular market sectors; and (vi) the demand for, and supply of, capital.
Security holders should recognise that the price of TNG Securities may fall as well as rise. Many factors will affect the price of TNG Securities including local and international stock markets, movements in interest rates, economic conditions and investor sentiment generally. In addition, the commencement of, or escalation in, any war, armed conflict, hostilities between nations, civil unrest or terrorist activities may affect the price of TNG Securities.
(b) Commodity prices
Commodity prices are influenced by physical and investment demand for those commodities. Fluctuations in commodity prices may influence and have an effect on the economic viability of individual projects in which TNG has an interest.
(c) Economic factors
Factors such as inflation, currency fluctuation, interest rates, supply and demand and industrial disruption have an impact on operating costs, commodity prices and stock market processes. TNG’s future possible revenues and Securities prices can be affected by these factors, which are beyond the control of TNG and its Directors.
(d) Government policy
Industry profitability can be affected by changes in government, both within Australia and externally, which are not within the control of TNG. TNG’s activities are subject to extensive laws and regulations controlling not only the mining of and exploration for
10
mineral properties, but also the possible effects of such activities upon the environment and upon interests of native and/or indigenous peoples. Permits from a variety of regulatory authorities are required for many aspects of mine operation and reclamation. There is no assurance that permits will be obtained when sought or that unfavourable conditions will not be imposed. Future legislation and regulations could cause additional expense, capital expenditures, restrictions and delays in the development of TNG’s tenements, the extent of which cannot be predicted.
2.3
Speculative investment
The above list of risk factors ought not to be taken as an exhaustive list of the risks faced by the Company or by investors in the Company. The above factors, and others not specifically referred to above, may in the future materially affect the financial performance of the Company and the value of the Options offered under this Prospectus. Potential investors should consider that an investment in the Company is speculative and should consult their professional adviser before deciding whether to apply for Options pursuant to this Prospectus.
11
3. Purpose and effect of the SPP Option Offer
This Section is prepared on the basis that the SPP is fully subscribed (in which case all Options will be issued under the SPP Option Offer and none will be issued pursuant to the SPP Shortfall Offer). The position will not be materially different from that set out below if some Options are issued under the SPP Option Offer and some under the SPP Shortfall Offer.
3.1 Purpose of the SPP Option Offer
The SPP Option Offer is being made in accordance with the Company’s announced intention to offer one (1) free attaching Option for every two (2) Shares subscribed for under the SPP and SPP Shortfall Offer.
No funds will be raised from the SPP Option Offer. Funds raised under the SPP will be used to progress the development of the Company’s flagship Mount Peake Iron-Vanadium-Titanium Project in the Northern Territory and to provide general working capital.
3.2
Effect of the SPP Option Offer
The principal effect of the SPP Option Offer, assuming all Options offered under the Prospectus are issued, will be to increase the number of Options currently on issue by a maximum of 14,814,814 (assuming that the SPP Option Offer is fully subscribed for).
If all of these 14,814,814 Options are exercised, the Company will be paid exercise proceeds of A$2,962,962 (before costs) and an additional 14,814,814 Shares will be issued to Optionholders. The exercise proceeds will be applied towards the Company’s general operational and working capital expenditure.
3.3
Effect on capital structure
The effect of the SPP Option Offer on the capital structure of the Company, assuming the SPP is fully subscribed for, and all of the Options offered under this Prospectus are issued (but no other Shares are issued or options exercised), is set out below:
| Balance at the date of this Prospectus(2) Maximum to be issued under the SPP Maximum to be issued under the SPP Option Offer(3) Total Securities on issue after the SPP Option Offer Shares to be issued if conversion of Options occurs Diluted capital position |

Assuming no options are exercised prior to the Record Date.
(2) Assuming no options are exercised prior to the Record Date. (3) The Company will apply for Official Quotation of the Options issued under the SPP Option Issue.
3.4 Pro-forma balance sheet
The pro-forma balance sheet is based on the statement of financial position as at 31 October 2016 that has then been adjusted (assuming the SPP is fully subscribed for) to reflect the issue of 29,629,629 Shares pursuant to the SPP, at an issue price of A$0.135 and 14,814,814 free attaching Options pursuant to the SPP Option Offer to raise a maximum amount of A$4,000,000 before the costs of the SPP and SPP Option Offer. The pro-forma balance sheet is prepared on the basis that the SPP and SPP Option Offer raise A$3,913,206 after costs. This has been reflected as an increase in cash reserves with a corresponding increase in issued capital.
The pro-forma, unaudited balance sheet excludes movements from carrying out general business operations. The pro-forma, unaudited balance sheet is illustrative only and may not represent the financial position of the Company following the close of the SPP Option Offer. The pro-forma, unaudited balance sheet does not take into account the effect of any future exercises of options.

3.5 Market price of Shares
The highest and lowest market sale prices of the Company’s Shares on ASX during the 3 months immediately preceding the date of lodgement of this Prospectus with ASIC and the respective dates of those sales were:
Highest: A$0.185 per Share on 17 October 2016 Lowest: A$0.110 per Share on 7 September 2016
The latest available closing sale price of the Company’s Shares on ASX prior to the date of lodgement of this Prospectus with ASIC was A$0.155 per Share on 29 November 2016.
3.6
Dividend policy
The Company does not currently pay dividends. The Directors are not able to say when or if dividends will be paid in the future, as the payment of any dividends will depend on the future profitability, financial position and cash requirements of the Company.
14
4. Additional information
4.1 Nature of this Prospectus
This Prospectus is issued under the special prospectus content rules for continuously quoted securities in section 713 of the Corporations Act. This enables listed disclosing entities to issue a prospectus with less rigorous disclosure requirements if:
-
(a) the securities offered by the prospectus were enhanced disclosure securities at all times in the 3 months before the date of the prospectus; and
-
(b) during the shorter of the period during which the securities were quoted and the period of 12 months before the date of the prospectus, the company was not subject to certain exemptions or declarations prescribed by the Corporations Act.
Securities are enhanced disclosure securities if:
-
(a) the company is included in the official list of ASX; and
-
(b) the ASX Listing Rules apply to those securities.
The information in this Prospectus principally concerns the terms and conditions of the SPP Option Offer and the information necessary to make an informed assessment of:
-
(a) the effect of the SPP Option Offer on the Company;
-
(b) the rights and liabilities attaching to the Options offered by this Prospectus; and
-
(c) the rights and liabilities attaching to the underlying Shares.
As the Company has been listed on ASX since 18 February 1971, a substantial amount of information concerning the Company has previously been notified to ASX and is therefore publicly available.
The Prospectus is intended to be read in conjunction with the publicly available information in relation to the Company which has been notified to ASX and does not include all of the information that would be included in a prospectus for an initial public offering of securities in an entity that is not already listed on a stock exchange. Shareholders should therefore also have regard to the other publicly available information in relation to the Company before making a decision whether or not to invest in the Options.
4.2 Regular reporting and disclosure obligations
The Company is a disclosing entity under the Corporations Act. It is subject to regular reporting and disclosure obligations under the Corporations Act and the Listing Rules.
These obligations require the Company to notify ASX of information about specified events and matters as they arise for the purposes of ASX making that information available to the securities market conducted by ASX. In particular, the Company has an obligation under the Listing Rules (subject to certain limited exceptions) to notify ASX immediately of any information of which it becomes aware concerning the Company which a reasonable person would expect to have a material effect on the price or value of securities in the Company.
The Company is also required to prepare and lodge with ASIC both yearly and half yearly financial statements accompanied by a Directors' statement and report and an auditor's report.
All announcements made by the Company are available from ASX.
15
4.3 Copies of documents
Copies of documents lodged by the Company in connection with its reporting and disclosure obligations may be obtained from, or inspected at, an office of ASIC.
During the period that the SPP Option Offer remains open, the Company will provide free of charge to any person who requests it, a copy of:
-
(a) the Company’s Annual Report for the year ended 30 June 2016, being the last financial year for which an annual financial report has been lodged with the ASIC in relation to the Company before the issue of this Prospectus; and
-
(b) the following continuous disclosure notices given by the Company to notify ASX of information relating to the Company after 27 October 2016 (being the date of lodgement of the most recent Annual Report referred to in paragraph (a)) and the date of issue of this Prospectus.

- (b) Exercise Price
The exercise price of each Option is A$0.20 ( Exercise Price ).
- (c) Expiry Date
An Option is exercisable at any time after the date of issue and on or before 5.00pm AWST on 15 June 2018 ( Expiry Date ). Options that are not exercised by the Expiry Date shall lapse.
- (d) Notice of Exercise
The Options may be exercised by notice in writing to the Company and payment of the Exercise Price for each Option being exercised. Any notice of exercise of an Option received by the Company will be deemed to be a notice of the exercise of that Option as at the date of receipt.
- (e) Minimum number of Options exercised
The Optionholder may not exercise less than 1,000 Options at any one time, unless the Optionholder has less than 1,000 Options in which case the Optionholder must exercise all their Options together.
- (f) Shares issued on exercise
Shares issued on exercise of the Options rank equally with the Shares of the Company on issue at the date of this Prospectus.
- (g) Quotation of Shares on exercise
Application will be made by the Company to ASX for official quotation of Shares issued upon the exercise of the Options.
- (h) No certificate
No certificate will be issued if the Options are granted quotation on ASX.
- (i) Timing of issue of Shares
After an Option is validly exercised, the Company must as soon as possible:
-
(i) issue the Share; and
-
(ii) do all such acts matters and things to obtain the grant of quotation for the Share on ASX no later than 10 Business Days from the date of exercise of the Option.
-
(j)
Participation in new issues
An Optionholder may participate in new issues of equity securities to holders of Shares only if and to the extent that:
-
(i) an Option has been exercised; and
-
(ii) a Share has been issued in respect of the exercise before the record date for determining entitlements to the new issue.
17
The Company must give notice to the Optionholder of any new issue not less than 6 Business Days before the record date for determining entitlements to the issue.
- (k) Adjustment for bonus issues of Shares
If the Company makes a bonus issue of Shares or other equity securities to existing Shareholders (other than an issue in lieu or in satisfaction, of dividends or by way of dividend reinvestment):

-
(ii) no change will be made to the Exercise Price.
-
(l) Adjustment for rights issue
If the Company makes a pro-rata issue of Shares to existing Shareholders (other than a bonus issue) the Exercise Price of an Option will be reduced according to the following formula:
– New exercise price = O – E [P (S+D)] N+1
-
O = the old Exercise Price of the Option.
-
E = the number of underlying Shares into which one (1) Option is exercisable.
-
P = average market price per Share weighted by reference to volume of the underlying Shares during the 5 trading days ending on the day before the ex rights date or ex entitlements date.
-
S = the subscription price of a Share under the pro-rata issue.

- (n) Quotation of Options
An application for quotation of the Options will be made by the Company to ASX.
- (o) Options transferable
The Options are transferable. Options may be transferred in the same manner as Shares unless classified as restricted securities under the Listing Rules and may be exercised by any other person or body corporate.
18
(p) Exercise instructions
Cheques shall be in Australian currency made payable to the Company and crossed "Not Negotiable". The application for Shares on exercise of the Options with the appropriate remittance should be lodged at the Company's share registry.
(q) Voting and dividend rights
The Options carry no rights to vote at a meeting of Shareholders, and no rights to dividends.
4.6 Rights attaching to Shares
A summary of the rights attaching to Shares in the Company is set out below. This summary is qualified by the full terms of the Constitution (a full copy of the Constitution is available from the Company on request free of charge) and does not purport to be exhaustive or to constitute a definitive statement of the rights and liabilities of Shareholders. These rights and liabilities can involve complex questions of law arising from an interaction of the Constitution with statutory and common law requirements. For a Shareholder to obtain a definitive assessment of the rights and liabilities which attach to Shares in any specific circumstances, the Shareholder should seek independent legal advice.
(a) Voting
At a general meeting of the Company, on a show of hands every Shareholder present in person has one vote. At the taking of a poll, every Shareholder present in person or by proxy and whose Shares are fully paid has one vote for each of his or her Shares. On a poll, the holder of a partly paid Share has a fraction of a vote with respect to the Share. The fraction is equivalent to the proportion which the amount paid (not credited) bears to the total amount paid and payable (excluding amounts credited).
(b) General meetings
Each Shareholder is entitled to receive notice of, attend and vote at general meetings of the Company and to receive all notices, financial statements and other documents required to be sent to Shareholders under the Constitution, the Corporations Act and the Listing Rules.
(c) Dividends
The Directors may from time to time declare or determine that an interim or final dividend is payable to Shareholders, or fix the amount, the time for payment and the method of payment of any interim or final dividend. All dividends must be paid to the Shareholders in proportion to the number of Shares held and the amount paid on the Shares.
(d) Transfer of Shares
Generally, all Shares in the Company are freely transferable, subject to the procedural requirements of the Constitution, and to the provisions of the Corporations Act, the Listing Rules and the ASX Settlement Operating Rules. The Directors may decline to register an instrument of transfer received where the transfer is not in registrable form or where refusal is permitted under the Listing Rules or the ASX Settlement Operating Rules. If the Directors decline to register a transfer the Company must give reasons for the refusal. The Directors must decline to register a transfer when required by the Corporations Act, the Listing Rules or the ASX Settlement Operating Rules.
(e) Variation of rights
The Company may only modify or vary the rights attaching to any Shares with the prior approval by a special resolution of the Shareholders, or with the written consent of the holders of at least three-fourths of the issued Shares.
19
(f) Directors
The minimum number of Directors is three and the maximum is ten. Currently, there are three Directors. Directors must retire on a rotational basis so that one-third of Directors must retire at each annual general meeting. Any other Director who has been in office for three or more years must also retire. A retiring Director is eligible for re-election. The Directors may appoint a director either in addition to existing Directors or to fill a casual vacancy, who then holds office until the next annual general meeting.
(g) Decisions of Directors
Questions arising at a meeting of Directors are decided by a majority of votes. The Chairman has a casting vote.
(h) Issue of further shares
Subject to the Constitution, the Corporations Act and the Listing Rules, the Directors may issue, or grant options in respect of, Shares to such persons on such terms as they think fit. In particular, the Directors may issue preference shares, including redeemable preference shares, and may issue shares with preferred, deferred or special rights or restrictions in relation to dividends, voting, and return of capital and participation in surplus on winding up.
- (i) Officers' indemnity
To the full extent permitted by the law and to the extent not covered by insurance, the Company must indemnify each officer of the Company against all losses and liabilities incurred by the person as an officer of the Company, including costs and expenses incurred in defending proceedings in which judgement is given in favour of the person or in which the person is acquitted or in connection with relief granted to the person in an application under the Corporations Act in respect to such proceedings.
(j) Alteration to the Constitution
The Corporations Act provides that the Constitution can only be amended by a special resolution passed by at least 75% of Shareholders present and voting at a general meeting. At least 28 days' notice of the intention to propose the special resolution must be given.
- (k) Listing Rules prevail
To the extent that there are any inconsistencies between the Constitution and the Listing Rules, the Listing Rules prevail.
4.7 Directors' interests
-
(a) Except as disclosed in this Prospectus, no Director or proposed director, and no firm in which a Director or proposed director has an interest:
-
(i) has any interest nor has had any interest in the last two years prior to the date of this Prospectus in the formation or promotion of the Company, the SPP Option Offer or property acquired or proposed to be acquired by the Company in connection with its formation or promotion or the SPP Option Offer; or
-
(ii) has been paid or given or will be paid or given any amount or benefit to induce him or her to become, or to qualify as, a Director, or otherwise for services rendered by him or her in connection with the formation or promotion of the Company or the SPP Option Offer.
20
(b) The table below shows the interest of each Director (whether held directly or indirectly) in Securities as at the date of this Prospectus:
| Shares | Unlisted options | |
|---|---|---|
| Rex Turkington | 7,887,999 | - |
| Paul Burton | 13,249,999 | - |
| Geoffrey (Stuart) Crow | 7,037,204 | - |
Directors may hold the relevant interests in Shares shown above directly, or through holdings by companies, trusts or other persons with whom they are associated.
At the 2016 annual general meeting, Shareholder approval was obtained for the Company to issue 4,000,000 million options to Paul Burton and 1,000,000 options to each of Rex Turkington and Geoffrey (Stuart) Crow. As at the date of this Prospectus, these options have not yet been issued to the relevant Directors, however the Company intends to issue the options shortly after the date of this Prospectus.
The Company has applied to ASX for a waiver of Listing Rule 10.11 to allow Directors who are Eligible Shareholders (or entities controlled by them) to participate in the SPP and the SPP Option Offer without the approval of Shareholders. This waiver is required because the offer of Options as part of the SPP means that the exception in the Listing Rules for offers to directors under a security purchase plan does not apply to the SPP.
4.8 Directors remuneration
The Constitution specifies that the aggregate remuneration of non-executive directors shall be determined from time to time by a general meeting. Each director receives a fee for being a director of the Company.
The Directors and former directors received the following remuneration for the previous two
financial years:
