TNG RECEIVES $2.18M RESEARCH & DEVELOPMENT REBATE
Rebate adds to TNG’s strong cash position
Australian strategic metals company TNG Limited (ASX: TNG) (“TNG” or the “Company”) is pleased to advise that it has received an amount of $2.18 million as a refundable tax offset under the Federal Government’s Research and Development (“R&D”) tax incentive scheme for eligible R&D activities undertaken during the 2018/19 financial year.
TNG’s R&D activities relate to its flagship Mount Peake Vanadium-Titanium-Iron Project in the Northern Territory, and the Company’s world-first, 100%-owned TIVAN® Process, which has been developed to commercially extract high-purity vanadium, titanium and iron from vanadiferous-titanomagnetite ore bodies.
The TIVAN® Process is an innovative technology with great application for the Mining Industry and forms a key part of the Company’s development plans for Mount Peake, and its strategy to become a significant global supplier of strategic metals.
Under the R&D tax incentive scheme, companies with a turnover of less than $20 million which undertake R&D activities are entitled to a cash refund of 43.5 cents per eligible dollar spent. The scheme provides direct assistance for companies like TNG to continue their R&D initiatives and drive technological innovation in Australia.
Commenting on the rebate, TNG’s Managing Director & CEO, Mr Paul Burton, said:
“TNG welcomes the government approach to innovation in the Mining Industry. The receipt of the R&D rebate adds to our existing cash balance, which stood at $20.8 million at the end of the September quarter, providing the Company with a solid financial foundation as the various work streams being progressed continue to advance the Mount Peake Project towards development.”
