TNG Limited ( ASX : TNG – “TNG”) today announced plans to fast-track a resource update for its Sandy Creek deposit and target a maiden resource estimate by year end for the Djibitgun deposit at its Manbarrum Zinc-Lead-Silver Project in the Northern Territory as its landmark 2007 exploration program nears its conclusion.

The Perth-based Company said today ( Wednesday ) that the results received to date from its successful 2007 exploration field season had confirmed that Manbarrum was emerging as a significant base metal district in global terms, with its geological model for the project as a Mississippi Valley Type (MVT) complex comprising multiple pods of mineralization also now confirmed.

“Despite the delays we have experienced in obtaining assay results due to processing delays in the laboratories, our 2007 field season is now moving rapidly to conclusion with the massive backlog in results expected to be cleared within the next few days,” said TNG’s Managing Director, Mr Neil Biddle.

“We have already received a significant number of results, following the completion of over 23,000 metres of RC and diamond drilling at Sandy Creek alone. “This work has validated and extended the Sandy Creek deposit, both to the south and potentially to the north. Once we receive the outstanding samples in the next few days, we will begin work immediately on an updated resource estimate.”

Some of the recently received diamond drilling results included outstanding high-grade intersections, such as 13m @ 13.3% Zn+Pb (including 9m @ 17.3% Zn+Pb and 2.5m @ 35.7% Zn+Pb ), 12m @ 5.1% Zn+Pb , 13m @ 4.5% Zn+Pb , 20m @ 5.7% Zn+Pb , 20m @ 8.5% Zn+Pb and 43m @ 4.1% Zn+Pb .

“Much of the drilling has focused on confirming and extending the existing resource at Sandy Creek of 10.5 million tonnes at 3.74% Zn+Pb,” Mr Biddle commented. “We are

==> picture [262 x 42] intentionally omitted <==

aiming to finalise an updated resource in the near-term, which will provide a strong foundation to our broader exploration and development strategy.”

“Of even greater importance to the continued project evolution has been our initial testing of other key regional MVT exploration targets at the NEIP prospect, immediately north-east of Sandy Creek, and Djibitgun, which lies 17km to the north-east,” he added.

The Company is fast-tracking its drilling campaign at Djibitgun with a total of 31RC and 4 diamond holes already completed out of a proposed 45-hole drilling program. The drilling program has been expanded to provide sufficient hole drill hole density to support an initial JORC compliant resource estimate to be completed.

Initial results from portable NITON XRF analysis of the drill chips and diamond drill core have provided confirmation of historic zinc intersections at Djibitgun by Aquitaine of up to 8.5% Zn, with geological logging of drilling core indicating the presence of continuous mineralization over a significant strike length.

“We are confident that this drilling program will deliver a significant addition to our overall resource inventory at Manbarrum and, importantly, confirm the nature of the project as an emerging MVT district comprising multiple pods of base metal mineralization,” Mr Biddle said.

TNG has also completed an extensive 84km regional IP survey, with the results refining and extending the existing targets at Djibitgun, Browns and Landandi and identifying several new targets.

“The Manbarrum Project has now entered a pivotal phase as we complete the 2007 drilling program, receive and collate the remaining outstanding results and begin work on the updated resource for Sandy Creek and a maiden resource estimate for Djibitgun,” Mr Biddle said. “We are confident that this will deliver a substantial upgrade to our resource inventory, while at the same time laying the foundations for a much expanded 2008 exploration campaign with the potential to establish Manbarrum as a base metal project of global significance.”

Yours faithfully TNG Limited

Quarterly Report September 2007 2

SUMMARY

During the September 2007 Quarter, TNG (“TNG”) made substantial progress with the 2007 exploration program at its 100%-owned Manbarrum Zinc-Lead-Silver Project , located in the Northern Territory.

With drilling now completed at the flagship Sandy Creek deposit and initial drilling indicating a significant deposit at Djibitgun , 17km north-east of Sandy Creek, the Company has confirmed the potential of the Manbarrum Project to continue to develop a substantial MVT (Mississippi Valley Type) base metal district.

The Company’s primary objective is to delineate a significant inventory of zinc-leadsilver resources in the project area spanning multiple deposits.

An initial resource estimate for the Sandy Creek deposit was announced in February 2007 of 10.5Mt at 3% Zn, 0.74% Pb and 5.5g/t Ag (3.74% Zn+Pb). Work during the Quarter has focused on in-fill and extension drilling to refine and upgrade this initial resource. Once all final results have been received, an updated resource estimate will be prepared for Sandy Creek.

The results received to date have validated the existing Sandy Creek resource zone and confirmed potentially significant extensions to the resource zone, both to the south and, from recent diamond drilling results, to the north. The results received have included some outstanding high-grade intersections, including some of the highest lead grades seen to date at Manbarrum in recently received diamond drilling results.

Drilling also commenced during the Quarter to test other priority MVT base metal targets in the area, including the NEIP prospect and at the Djibitgun prospect, where drilling is still in progress.

A detailed high resolution IP survey was completed over these and other prospective areas to define additional targets, and a detailed gravity survey has also now commenced.

Baseline environmental surveying of the Sandy Creek area has been completed by GHD and monitoring is in progress.

The Company has a significant amount of samples awaiting analysis due a high volume backlog at the analytical laboratory. TNG is working closely with the laboratory to resolve this and anticipates receiving all results and producing a revised resource estimate in the December quarter.

Metallurgical test work has now commenced on selected drill core from the Sandy Creek deposit, and the results of this test work will be reported in the December quarter.

EXPLORATION

Manbarrum Project: Zinc-Lead-Silver, TNG 100%.

==> picture [352 x 240] intentionally omitted <==

Figure 2: Location of Manbarrum Project

The Manbarrum Project is located in the Northern Territory, 70 kilometres north east of the regional centre of Kununurra.

The granted Manbarrum tenements comprise three Exploration Licences and an Authority to Prospect (under Section 178) covering a combined area of over 600 square kilometres. This gives TNG access to most of the prospective eastern margin formations of the Bonaparte Shelf Margin, where widespread Mississippi Valley Type (MVT) zinclead-silver mineralisation has been identified at several locations over a 50 kilometre strike length.

TNG’s 2007 exploration program has been focused on the Sandy Creek deposit, located in the south west corner of the Manbarrum Project, and other key targets including NEIP, Djibitgun and Browns.

2007 Exploration Programme

TNG’s exploration team has identified the potential for the Manbarrum Project to host multiple pods of Mississippi Valley Type (MVT) Zinc (Zn) / Lead (Pb) mineralisation of similar scale or larger than the Sandy Creek deposit along the Bonaparte basin margin. The broader objective of the 2007 drilling program is to confirm this potential and establish a strategically significant inventory of zinc-lead-silver resources.

The 2007 exploration program that commenced in late May continued to make significant progress during the Quarter, with the focus on confirming extensions to the current mineralisation at the Sandy Creek deposit, establishing the extent and grade of the expanded resource zone to underpin a revised JORC resource estimate, and undertaking exploration of other key targets.

Quarterly Report September 2007 5

==> picture [297 x 89] intentionally omitted <==

Two drilling rigs were operational at Manbarrum during the Quarter – a diamond drill rig and a high-powered Reverse Circulation (RC) rig. A total of 58 RC holes for a total of 10,957 metres and 52 diamond drill holes for a total of 11,853.9 metres have been completed to in-fill and extend the current resource at Sandy Creek. 26 RC holes and 2 diamond holes have been completed at NEIP, and 31 RC holes and 4 diamond holes at Djibitgun. (See Table 1)

Sandy Creek Deposit

The Sandy Creek deposit is interpreted to be a strata-bound carbonate matrix replacement-type zinc-lead deposit, with similarities to several global MVT deposits (eg, SE Missouri MVT district, USA; Tri State district, USA)

In February 2007, TNG released a preliminary resource estimate for the Sandy Creek deposit with an initial JORC resource of 10.5 million tonnes at 3% Zn, 0.74% Pb and

Quarterly Report September 2007 6

==> picture [297 x 89] intentionally omitted <==

5.5g/t Ag (3.74% Zn+Pb). Infill and extension drilling completed during the quarter was aimed at producing a revised resource upgrade.

During the Quarter, the Company completed the RC and diamond in-fill drilling programme at the Sandy Creek deposit ahead of schedule. The aim of this programme was to define the extent of the resource and provide additional mineralogical and metallurgical information to increase the level of confidence in the resource.

This process is nearly completed and all samples and core have been forwarded to the laboratory for analysis. Results are awaited to complete the updated resource estimate; this is expected to be released early next quarter.

Mineralisation Style

The Sandy Creek deposit comprises sphalerite, silver-bearing galena and pyrite type mineralisation. It is almost exclusively a primary sulphide deposit, although some secondary zinc mineralisation is present in the supergene zone. No lead sulphates (anglesite) or carbonates (cerrusite) have been observed.

The mineralisation is predominantly hosted by a quartz-sandy carbonate unit, 100-120m thick. In places, the mineralisation extends into the underlying silty carbonate unit. High-grade galena mineralisation has been intersected in the saprolitic clays as well as in a sedimentary breccia immediately underlying the Milligans Shale in the hanging wall of the quartz sandy dolomite.

Mississippi Valley-type deposits are known to have a complex internal geometry and contain a variable mix of high grade and low grade mineralisation. The company has gathered valuable information confirming the MVT nature of the deposit and controls on the mineralisation.

Reverse Circulation (RC) Drilling

Sandy Creek Deposit

A total of 58 RC holes (10,957m) have been completed to date at the Sandy Creek deposit.

The company is pleased to report that nearly all holes have intersected significant sphalerite (zinc sulphide) and galena (lead) from visual estimates and this has now been confirmed in recent results.

Drill chip observations indicate the continuation of a west-dipping strata-bound sphalerite (zinc sulphide) and galena (lead) mineralisation, with an average width of 250 metres and an average thickness of 20 metres. The central main high grade zone has proved to be more complex than expected from previous modeling, but this is not uncommon in this style of mineralisation and significant intersections of mineralisation continue to be recovered.

Quarterly Report September 2007 7

==> picture [297 x 89] intentionally omitted <==

Results:

TNG has received significant assay results for 28 RC drill holes at Sandy Creek. (See Appendix A).

Diamond Drilling

Diamond drilling has been completed in the main higher grade zone and to test for extensions of the mineralization to the north and west. Five metallurgical test holes have also been completed and sent for assessment.

Diamond hole MDD049, located within the main higher grade zone has recorded over 50m of continuous zinc mineralisation in visual logging, and is considered to be one of the most significant holes to date.

A total of 58 diamond drill holes (12,919.7m), have been completed to date.

Results:

A number of significant new high-grade intercepts have been received recently, including:

  • 13m @ 13.3 % Zn+Pb, 14.3ppm Ag from 102m , including 9m @ 17.3 % Zn+Pb, 16.2ppm Ag from 106m, including

  • 2.5m @ 35.7 % Zn+Pb, (MDD018)

  • 12m @ 5.10 % Zn+Pb, 3.0ppm Ag from 68m (MDD017)

  • 9m @ 3.33 % Zn+Pb, 10.0ppm Ag from 87m (MDD019)

  • 11m @ 3.70 % Zn+Pb, 6.0ppm Ag from 95m (MDD020)

  • 13m @ 4.50 % Zn+Pb, 7.0ppm Ag from 124m (MDD021)

  • 8m @ 3.20 % Zn+Pb, 10.0ppm Ag from 83m (MDD023)

The intersection in MDD0018 features the highest lead grades recovered from the project area to date with an outstanding combined intersection of 2m @ 35.7% Zn+Pb MDD0018, which was drilled in the high-grade ‘pipe’ zone in the central resource zone of the Sandy Creek deposit. The hole was located 25 metres to the north of the previous RC drill hole MRC012, which returned an excellent intersection of 115m @ 5.4% Zn+Pb last year.

The results add further weight to an interpreted north-west trending, fault-controlled high-grade of zone of mineralisation within the Sandy Creek resource zone. Other highgrade intercepts within this NW trending zone include MDD007 (20m @ 8.5% Zn+Pb) and MDD014 (43m @ 4.1% Zn+Pb).

Other significant results from diamond drilling reported during the Quarter included:

  • 18m @ 5.85 % Zn+Pb, 27ppm Ag, from 75m (MDD006)

  • 20m @ 8.50 % Zn+Pb, 20ppm Ag, from 69m (MDD007)

  • 10m @ 4.90 % Zn+Pb, 10.8ppm Ag, from 72m (MDD012)

  • 20m @ 5.70 % Zn+Pb, 8.6ppm Ag, from 90m (MDD012)

  • 7m @ 5.10 % Zn+Pb, 5.3ppm Ag, from 39m (MDD013)

  • 10m @ 3.30 % Zn+Pb, 10.9ppm Ag, from 30m (MDD014)

  • 43m @ 4.10 % Zn+Pb, 7.1ppm Ag, from 52m (MDD014)

  • 10m @ 3.40 % Zn+Pb, 7.3ppm Ag, from 25m (MDD015)

  • 20m @ 3.40 % Zn+Pb, 12.8ppm Ag, from 52m (MDD015)

Quarterly Report September 2007 8

==> picture [297 x 89] intentionally omitted <==

  • 22m @ 3.2 % Zn+Pb, 3.7ppm Ag, from 72m (MDD015)

  • 9m @ 3.6 % Zn+Pb, 4.0ppm Ag, from 78m (MDD018)

Significant widths and intersections of zinc mineralisation continue to be received with all assay results received to date shown in Appendix B.

QA – QC Audit

As reported last quarter following receipt of intitial analytical results, the company had commenced detailed quality assurance (QA) and quality control (QC) procedures.

This has included:

  • Re-assaying of selected RC chips from both 2006 and 2007 drill samples.

  • Twinning of selected 2006 holes with both diamond and RC drilling

  • Audit of sample procedures

TNG is pleased to confirm the following results:

  • Re-assaying has confirmed the reliability and robustness of the analytical methods used. No variability was noted and the results for the 2006 RC drilling have been confirmed.

  • Geological observations on selected twinned holes has confirmed local and visual corellation of mineralisation as expected and, in particular, has confirmed the presence of significant high grade zones within the lower grade zones, indicating the variability common to these types of deposits.

  • The Company is confident that this explains the variability noted in diamond drill holes MDD001 and MDD002, where significant widths of continuous mineralisation was recorded, including intervals of higher grade zinc that did not correspond to those noted in adjacent holes,

As part of the ongoing QA-QC audit, TNG has discovered geological/mineralogical settings within the deposit that have the potential for a loss of Zn sulphide during the drilling procedures. A white powder residue has been recovered from both Diamond and RC sumps and assayed. Results record highly significant values of 15-35% Zn, within a dolomite / dolomite-quartz-gypsum matrix. Inspection of drill core has shown that this Zn sulphide mineral is pervasive along fractures and cavity fillings.

Semi-quantitative XRD analysis has confirmed that this zinc occurs as sphalerite in a low-iron, dolomite groundmass.

The Company is assessing whether the presence of this in the drill sumps has resulted in significant under reporting of results.

NEIP Anomaly

26 RC holes (3,758m) and 2 DD holes (356.4m) have been completed at the NEIP Anomaly, located approximately 400m north east of the Sandy Creek Main Zone.

Zinc mineralisation was intersected on the margins of the IP anomaly in a number of drill holes. Results are still pending for most holes.

Quarterly Report September 2007 9

==> picture [297 x 89] intentionally omitted <==

The IP anomaly has been attributed to the high Pyrite content contained in the faulted contact between Lower Carboniferous Dolomite and Upper Devonian Sandstones.

The NEIP Dolomite is dipping steeply west and is overlain to the west by the Milligans Shale, an impermeable unit which appears to mask IP readings. A close spaced Gravity Survey has recently been completed over the area west of NEIP and north of Sandy Creek, an area which corresponds with a gravity high interpreted from broader spaced data. Results from the recent survey are expected to assist in planning drilling for 2008 to further test the Sandy Creek North/NEIP West zone.

Djibitgun Prospect

The Djibitgun prospect is a key target for the company. A reassessment of historic IP (Induced Polarisation) geophysical, gravity and drill data highlighted this zone as having similar geophysical responses to the Sandy Creek deposit. The Djibitgun prospect also features historic RC drill values of up to 8.5% Zn , making this a key exploration target for TNG.

The detailed IP survey has located additional targets at this prospect and these are currently being drill tested with a planned 45-hole RC programme. A total of 31 RC and 4 Diamond holes have been completed to date. A detailed gravity survey is also in progress.

Browns Prospect

The Browns Prospect is characterized by very large IP and gravity generated anomalies supported by highly anomalous zinc rich gossans at Browns Hill. Browns is also located in a favorable structural setting along strike from Sandy Creek and remains a key target for the Company. However, due to the decision to ramp up drilling at Djibitgun and the imminent onset of the wet season, Browns will not be drill tested this year.

Browns and other regional targets, including Landandi, will be targeted in the 2008 exploration season.

Results Pending:

TNG has approximately 5,000 RC samples from 46 holes and 1,300 DD samples from 16 holes awaiting analysis. These are caught in a backlog at the laboratory. The Company has been working closely with the laboratory to resolve the issue and is confident all remaining results will be received early in the December quarter.

Gravity Survey

A detailed gravity survey is underway over the licence area. This will assist in geological and structural interpretations, target selection and delineation. It will also assist in the assessment of the resources at Sandy Creek and Djibitgun, when all results are available.

Environmental Survey

GHD (Darwin) was contracted last quarter to commence a baseline environmental survey for the sandy Creek area. This has now been completed and monitoring of groundwater, flora and fauna studies undertaken.

TNG has been proactive in establishing this groundwork which will be invaluable as the company progresses the project through to feasibility.

Tanami East (Goddards Prospect): Copper / Gold, TNG 100%

Tanami East, also known as Goddard’s Prospect, hosts significant malachite mineralisation outcropping over a strike length of 1,200 metres. Numerous values over 1% Cu and 100 ppb Au were obtained from rock chip samples carried out during the 1970s and the area is considered to have exploration potential for copper-gold deposits.

Due to the Company’s focus on the Manbarrum Project, no exploration has been conducted during the Quarter.

The Cawse Project is located in the Eastern Goldfields region of Western Australia, approximately 60 kilometres north-west of Kalgoorlie.

Four main types of mineralisation have been identified at Cawse. These are the oxide ores of limonite, talc, and siliceous cobalt and the smectite-saprolite ore (locally termed nontronite).

The commercial success of the Cawse nickel operation is dependent in part upon the ability of the principal ore type to be beneficiated. A simple process of rejecting lower grade material on the basis of particle size achieves this. The process is called upgrading and allows sub grade material to become commercial ore grade and also allows higher ore grades to be processed in the early parts of the operation. The success of the upgrade process is dependent upon the physical and chemical properties of the ore being processed and the nickel grade of the ore.

The upgrade ore type represents >80% of the Cawse nickel resource and is hosted mostly within a limonite unit, represented by goethitic clays in the upper saprolite zone.

Mine Scheduling

At this stage the long term mining plan has not seen any significant changes. It is expected that mining will commence at the Satyr prospect in 2008. In-fill drilling is continuing and a mining proposal is being formulated for submission to the DoIR.

Mining at the Dragon prospect is scheduled to start in December 2008. At this point in time Satyr and Dragon are the only Cawse Extended prospects in the long term mining schedule. Further drilling at Cetus is underway in an attempt to prove up a mineable resource and optimisation work continues on a northern extension to Unicorn pit.

The company has held meetings with Norilsk on the future project plans.

Other Western Australian Tenements

TNG holds an interest in other tenement groups, however, in each case, the Company does not contribute towards exploration expenditure as the projects are subject to joint venture or options for sale. These projects include Kintore East and McTavish, both based in WA.

TNG currently has other applications over prospective interests for a range of commodities.

CORPORATE

Distributions of shares in Investments

The shareholders approved the distribution of shares held in Western Desert Resources Ltd (WDR) received in return for the sale to WDR of some non-core tenements in the Northern Territory, at a general meeting of shareholders held on 4 September 2007. The 10 million WDR shares were distributed in the ratio of 1 WDR share for every 18.22 TNG shares held on the Record date being 13 September 2007.

At the beginning of the September quarter TNG completed the distribution of securities held in Batavia Mining Ltd and Thor Mining PLC. This was approved by shareholders in the June 2007 quarter.

Demerger of Enigma Mining

On 25 September 2007 TNG announced its intention to demerge Enigma Mining Ltd (Enigma), a wholly owned subsidiary of TNG Ltd. It is currently the intention that this will take the form of a capital distribution to TNG shareholders and a possible ASX listing in the first quarter of 2008.

Enigma holds a 20% interest in Cawse Extended located in WA and a 100% interest in the Mt Peake Prospect in the Northern Territory, also prospective for Nickel.

TNG is of the view that this demerger will take place early in 2008 subject to legal and taxation investigations currently underway.

AGM

The Annual General Meeting is to be held on Thursday 8 November 2007 at the Celtic Club, 48 Ord Street, West Perth at 10.00am. The Company encourages your attendance and use of your vote on the resolutions to be placed before shareholders at this meeting.
