SUMMARY

During the December Quarter, TNG (“TNG”) completed the major exploration program at its 100%-owned Manbarrum Zinc-Lead-Silver Project , located in the Northern Territory. A total of 149 RC and 64 Diamond Drill holes were completed, for a total of 37,417m, with over 20,000 samples collected and submitted for analysis. In addition, regional and detailed geophysical surveys were completed.

Exploration and resource drilling was completed at the Sandy Creek deposit and additional reconnaissance drilling was completed at the Djibitgun Prospect, 17km northeast of Sandy Creek.

Work during the Quarter focused on completion of in-fill and extension drilling at Sandy Creek to enable an updated JORC resource estimate, and completion of reconnaissance drilling at the Djibitgun Prospect.

Results received to date have validated the existing Sandy Creek resource and confirmed extensions to the resource zone, both to the south and to the north.

The new JORC resource estimate is currently in progress, managed by CSA (Australia) Ltd and will be announced in the March Quarter 2008.

At the Djibitgun Prospect early results indicate a potentially significant new deposit with mineralisation intersected over a strike extent of 800m. This is the second deposit located by TNG in the Manbarrum Project area.

During the Quarter a detailed high resolution IP survey and a detailed gravity survey were also completed over a 32km area along strike from the Sandy Creek deposit, and baseline environmental surveying and monitoring of the Sandy Creek area by GHD consultants was completed.

Metallurgical test work also commenced during the Quarter on selected drill core from the Sandy Creek deposit. Results are expected in the March Quarter 2008.

The Company’s primary objective in 2007 was to delineate a significant inventory of zinc-lead-silver resources in the Manbarrum project area spanning multiple deposits. This objective has been achieved with the Company’s exploration approach.

With a second potentially large mineralised system being located at Djibitgun and numerous prospects remaining to be tested the Company has confirmed the potential of the Manbarrum Project area to continue to develop into a substantial MVT (Mississippi Valley Type) base metal district.

==> picture [373 x 254] 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 project is situated along the eastern margin of the Late Devonian to Early Carboniferous Bonaparte Basin , where a succession of clastic and carbonate rocks were deposited.

The Bonaparte Basin has been strategically targeted and assessed by TNG to have the potential to host multiple Mississippi Valley Type (MVT) zinc-lead-silver deposits and exploration programmes have been aimed at proving up a resource inventory in the area.

The granted Manbarrum tenements comprise three Exploration Licences and an Authority to Prospect (under Section 178), covering a combined area of over 538 square kilometres. In addition to these, licence areas in Western Australia covering the western margin of the Bonaparte Basin gives TNG access to most of the prospective areas of the Bonaparte Shelf Margin, where widespread Mississippi Valley Type (MVT) zinc-lead-silver mineralisation has been identified.

TNG’s 2007 exploration program has been focused on the eastern shelf margin where the Sandy Creek deposit is located in the south west corner of the project area, and on other key prospects including NEIP, Djibitgun and Browns (Figure 3).

The focus of exploration on the eastern basin margin in 2007 was also aimed at refining known targets, unraveling the geological structure and locating new targets using multiple techniques. TNG has established that the basin margin is faulted and offset in

Figure 3: Manbarrum Project: Exploration Prospects

The exploration programme that commenced in late May was completed during the December Quarter. This was a major exploration programme and achievements include confirmation of extensions to the current mineralisation at the Sandy Creek deposit and the location of continuous zinc and silver mineralisation at the Djibitgun Prospect.

Two drilling rigs were operational at Manbarrum during the season – a Diamond Drill (DD) rig and a high-powered Reverse Circulation (RC) rig. A total of 149 RC holes for a total of 23,293 metres and 64 diamond drill holes for a total of 14,124 metres have been completed (See Table 1).

In addition, 84 line kilometers of high resolution IP survey and a detailed 3,000 station gravity survey were completed. Results are being assessed.

• The 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 Mississipi Valley Type (MVT) deposits (eg. SE Missouri MVT district, USA; Tri State district, USA).

Mineralisation Style

The Sandy Creek deposit is a typical MVT style comprising sphalerite, silver-bearing galena and pyrite 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 within the faulted basin margin. 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.

Reverse Circulation (RC) Drilling

A total of 72 RC holes (12,173m) have been completed at the Sandy Creek deposit (Figure 4).

The company is pleased to report that nearly all holes intersected significant sphalerite (zinc sulphide) and galena (lead) mineralisation.

Results confirm the continuation of west-dipping strata-bound sphalerite and galena mineralisation, with an average width of 250 metres and an average thickness of 20-40 metres, with high grade zones extending to 100m.

Results:

Significant assay results continued to be received during the Quarter, further confirming and establishing the full extent of mineralisation. Significant assay results received during the Quarter are shown below. A full set of results are in Appendix A.

  • MDD054 7m @ 4.47% Zn+Pb, 7.3 ppm Ag from 57m

JORC Resource

Following completion of the 2007 drilling programme and receipt of analytical results, an updated resource estimate to the previous JORC resource of 10.5 million tones, 3.74% Zn+Pb, (released in February 2007) was commenced, managed by CSA (Australia) Ltd. This will be released in the March Quarter 2008.

• NEIP Prospect

The NEIP anomaly is located 2km to the NE of Sandy Creek (Figure 3) and is defined by a large IP anomaly of similar amplitude to Sandy Creek.

Analytical and geophysical results are being assessed along with the completed Sandy Creek results and new geophysical data.

• Djibitgun Prospect

The Djibitgun Prospect is located 12 km to the NE of Sandy Creek (Figure 3), and is situated in an area where historical drilling recorded Zinc values of up to 8%, making it a priority target for the company in 2007.

Drilling

A total of 52 RC holes (7,142m) and 5 Diamond holes (962m) were drilled (Figure 6). All samples are at the laboratory for analysis.

Initial assay results from reconnaissance drilling at Djibitgun have been encouraging, confirming the presence of an extensive zone of zinc and silver dominant mineralisation occurring within the Sandy Dolomite (Burt Range Formation) in both weathered and fresh profiles. The zinc mineralisation occurs in the weathered zone as secondary minerals zinc-carbonates and zinc-hydroxides, and reflects primary sulphide mineralisation at depth. The silver mineralisation is of significantly higher grade and more continuous than at Sandy Creek.

Significant intercepts are summarised in Table 2.

(Note: 1% cut-off Zn+Pb, minimum interval length 2m, 1m internal waste; not applicable to the mineralised envelope)

This has confirmed the Djibitgun prospect as the second deposit of MVT style to be located within the Manbarrum Project area.

On receipt of all results a JORC inferred resource is anticipated to be calculated.

In addition, geological mapping by TNG has located other significant areas of nearsurface oxide mineralisation at Djibitgun which will be evaluated in 2008.

• Browns Prospect

The Browns Prospect is located 5km to the NNE of Sandy Creek (Figure 3), and is characterised by large IP and gravity anomalies extending over 2km in strike length, supported by zinc rich (up to 2% Zn) gossans at the nearby Browns Hill.

Significantly, Browns is also located in a favorable structural setting along strike from Sandy Creek, and remains a key exploration target for the Company, particularly in light of results from Djibitgun.

No further ground work was carried out on this prospect during this Quarter due to the intensity of work on other prospects.

Quarterly Report December 2007 11

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

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

• Environmental Survey

TNG has been proactive in establishing baseline Environmental groundwork in the Manbarrum Project Area which will be invaluable as the company progresses the project through to feasibility

GHD (Darwin) completed and reported on the baseline environmental survey during the Quarter for the Sandy Creek area, including monitoring of groundwater, flora and fauna.

TNG is pleased to report that no environmental issues were raised.

• Manbarrum Project Tenement Status

No changes during the Quarter to its exploration title holding (Table 3).

OTHER PROJECTS

Explorer, Rover and McClaren Creek Gold-Copper-Bismuth Prospects, TNG 100%

TNG has four exploration licences located 50km south of Tennant Creek in Central Australia (Figure 1). The exploration licences cover an area in excess of 2,500 square kilometres and contain numerous first order Tennant Creek-style magnetic ironstone targets with the potential to host gold, and gold-copper-bismuth deposits.

These prospects are hosted within the prospective Warrimunga Formation and have the same magnetic trend and magnitude as some of the world-class gold and gold-copperbismuth deposits in the Tennant Creek Inlier.

Quarterly Report December 2007 12

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

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

Mount Peake: Nickel, TNG 100%

Mount Peake is located in the Arunta Province 80 kilometres north east of Alice Springs. Airborne magnetic surveys have indicated possible ultramafic intrusion hosted nickel targets.

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

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.

Other Tenements and Opportunities

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, and continues to review JV opportunities.
