TNG SIGNS BINDING LIFE-OF-MINE OFFTAKE AGREEMENT WITH GUNVOR (SINGAPORE) FOR REMAINING VANADIUM PRODUCTION
The execution of the fourth and final life-of-mine offtake agreement provides a solid foundation for the financing and development of the Mount Peake Vanadium-Titanium-Iron Project
Key Points
-
Life-of-mine Offtake and Marketing Agreement (“Agreement”) signed with major global commodity trader Gunvor (Singapore) (“Gunvor”) for 40% of the proposed vanadium pentoxide production from TNG’s 100%owned Mount Peake Project (“Project”) in the Northern Territory.
-
The Agreement with Gunvor complements the existing offtake agreement in place with Korea’s WOOJIN for 60% of the proposed vanadium pentoxide production from Mount Peake.
-
Under the Agreement, Gunvor will purchase vanadium pentoxide FOB for marketing and distribution on a global basis.
-
TNG now has completed binding life-of-mine offtake agreements for all three of its high-value, high-purity products proposed to be produced at Mount Peake - vanadium pentoxide, titanium pigment and iron oxide.
Australian resource and mineral processing technology company TNG Limited (ASX: TNG ) (“TNG” or the “Company”) is pleased to announce that it has executed a binding life-of-mine Offtake and Marketing Agreement with global commodity trader, Gunvor (Singapore) , for 40% of the high-purity vanadium pentoxide that is intended to be produced from the Company’s flagship 100%-owned Mount Peake Vanadium-Titanium-Iron Project in the Northern Territory, Australia.
TNG intends to produce approximately 6,000 tonnes per annum of high-purity vanadium pentoxide from its TIVAN® Processing Facility proposed to be located in Darwin (NT) – one of three high-value products to be produced from the fully integrated Mount Peake Project for export to a global customer base.
Under the Agreement, Gunvor will purchase vanadium pentoxide FOB, for global marketing and distribution for a fixed discount.
With the execution of this Agreement, TNG has now executed offtake agreements for all three proposed product streams for the Mount Peake Project:
-
100% of vanadium pentoxide production between Gunvor (40%) and WOOJIN (60%; see ASX announcement dated 7 September 2015);
-
75% and up to 100% of titanium pigment production (see ASX announcement dated 13 May 2019); and
-
100% of iron oxide production (see ASX announcement dated 27 July 2020).
The execution of this Agreement with Gunvor completes the Company’s offtake arrangements, and is a major milestone underpinning the Company’s commercial strategy for Mount Peake.
