SUMMARY
During the December 2011 Quarter, TNG continued to make substantial progress towards its objective of building a world-class strategic metals business based on its flagship 100%-owned Mount Peake Iron-Vanadium Project in the Northern Territory and establishing a platform to build a diversified mid-tier Australian resources house.
The key milestone achieved during the Quarter was the signing of a landmark subscription agreement with the East China Mineral Exploration & Development Bureau (“ECE”), formalising the strategic partnership announced last Quarter.
The subscription agreement – between TNG and ECE subsidiaries Ao-Zhong International Mineral Resources Pty Ltd (“Ao-Zhong”) and Aosu Investment and Development Co Pty (“Aosu”) – was signed at a formal signing function in Tianjin, China on 7 November 2011 as part of the 2011 China Mining Conference.
The agreement encompasses a $13.4 million funding injection to underpin the ongoing Pre-Feasibility Study (PFS) and pilot plant metallurgical test work program for the Mount Peake Project, as well as a Strategic Alliance to assess and secure other quality growth opportunities in the Australian mining industry.
The first stage of this investment was completed subsequent to the end of the Quarter, on 19 January 2012, with the finalisation of a $6.6 million investment by Aosu Investment and Development Pty Ltd. Following completion of this investment, the Company announced the appointment of Mr Zhigang Wang as a nonexecutive Director of TNG. Mr Wang is Chairman of Aosu, which is part of the Wanlong Group of companies in China.
During the Quarter, the Company also announced the appointment of experienced corporate adviser and finance industry executive, Mr Rex Turkington, as a non-executive Director. These appointments further strengthen the TNG Board as it moves towards feasibility and development of the Mount Peake Project.
During the Quarter, the Company reported positive interim results from the Pre-Feasibility Study (“PFS”) on the Mount Peake Project, outlining a project capable of generating revenues of $10.4 billion and operating cash flows of $3.2 billion over an initial 17.2-year life.
The Company continued to progress the metallurgical testwork program for the TIVAN™ Hydrometallurgical Process during the Quarter, with finalisation of optimisation testwork on some key phases of the Process. The TIVAN™ process successfully extracts commercial high-grade quantities of vanadium, titanium and iron from the Mount Peake mineralisation.
Assembly of the pilot plant, to be located at the ALS-AMMTEC laboratory in Perth using existing solvent extraction (SX) equipment, will commence at the end of January 2012.
The pilot plant testwork program, will provide a definitive test of the commercial potential of the TIVAN™ Process to produce a vanadium pentoxide product of commercial grade, together with titanium dioxide and iron oxide final products.
Results will underpin a decision to progress to feasibility, providing a platform for TNG to progress the Mount Peake Project rapidly towards the financing and development stage.

PROJECTS
IRON–VANADIUM–TITANIUM
Mount Peake Project: TNG 100%
The Mount Peake project is located in the Northern Territory close to existing key power and transport infrastructure. The area under licence covers a highly prospective, but poorly explored area of the Western Arunta geological province.
Pre-Feasibility Study Interim Results
During the Quarter, TNG reported interim results from the Pre-Feasibility Study (“PFS”) on the Mount Peake Project, outlining a project capable of generating revenues of $10.4 billion and operating cash flows of $3.2 billion over an initial 17.2-year life.
The positive PFS results build on the initial Scoping Study completed at the start of 2011 and, subject to receipt of positive results from the commercialization of the proprietary TIVAN™ hydrometallurgical process, should enable TNG to make a decision on future Feasibility on the Project during 2012.
The PFS is based on the updated JORC Indicated and Inferred Resource for Mount Peake published on 12 October 2011 of 160Mt @ 0.3% V2O5, 5% TiO2 and 23% Fe (Indicated 110Mt @ 0.29% V2O5, 5.3% TiO2 and 23% Fe; Inferred 48Mt @ 0.24% V2O5, 4.5% TiO2 and 21% Fe). In addition to this resource, TNG has published an Exploration Target[1] of 500-700Mt grading 0.2-0.4% V2O5 and 25-35% Fe.
The Interim PFS results have been independently prepared by METS (process and infrastructure design and related capital and operating costs), Snowden (mine design, mining costs and financial analysis) and SKM (transport costs) to an accuracy level of ±25 per cent, which is typical for a PFS and provides a strong platform to progress the project.
1 The potential quantity and grade is conceptual in nature, there has been insufficient exploration to define a Mineral Resource and that it is uncertain if further exploration will result in the determination of a Mineral Resource.

Metallurgical Testwork Update
Metallurgical testwork carried out by TNG and METS has shown that the magnetic concentrate that would be produced from Mount Peake material is amenable to the TIVAN[TM] hydrometallurgical processing, resulting in high recoveries and grades of vanadium pentoxide (96.7% purity), titanium dioxide (55%) and iron oxide (66%) in the acid leaching and recovery process. Recoveries of product grades and the final purity of titanium dioxide is expected to increase as optimization work is completed.
Further optimisation testwork was completed during the Quarter for the High Pressure Grind Rolls (HPGR), providing further encouraging results and indicating lower than expected specific power requirements.
Dry and wet Low Intensity Magnetic Seperation (LIMS) testing on the HPGR fines has also been with higher grades on the preferred wet LIMS magnetic concentrate option.
Leach tests on the magnetic concentrate are on currently track with ore zone, acid concentration and temperature tests completed, confirming expected extractions.
Bulk leach test work on a 90kg magnetic concentrate sample is scheduled for February which will lead to extraction optimisation for the pilot plant test phase.
Pilot Plant assembly commences for TIVAN[TM] Hydrometallurgical Process
Subsequent to the end of the Quarter, assembly work commenced on a modular pilot plant to test the proprietary TIVAN™ solvent extraction (SX) process. The pilot plant will be assembled at the ALS-AMMTEC laboratory in Perth using existing SX equipment.
Testwork is scheduled to commence in March 2012, providing a definitive test of the commercial potential of the TIVAN™ process to produce a vanadium pentoxide product of commercial grade, together with titanium dioxide and iron oxide final products. Results are expected by the end of Q1 of 2012.
Further testwork to confirm the iron and titanium grade products is scheduled for early Q2. The ability of the TIVAN™ process to extract commercial high-grade quantities of vanadium, titanium and iron from the Mount Peake mineralization underpins TNG’s development proposition for this world-scale project.
It also has the potential to be applied to other vanadium deposits globally.
Importantly, the results will also enable the company to fully consider in more detail commercial options for value-add downstream processing to produce a high-value ferro-vanadium product, (which indicated the potential to add a further $80 million to the Nett Annual Cash in the supplementary Scoping Study completed earlier this year), and to produce upgraded higher value Titanium products which could also significantly enhance forecast cash flows.

NICKEL, COPPER, PGM
McArthur River Project: Copper: TNG 100%
During the Quarter, negotiations with Traditional Owners regarding access to McArthur, Yah Yah and Black Springs were progressed and preparations for a detailed exploration programme are in progress.
McArthur – EL 27711
The McArthur River tenement, which is located approximately 50km south of McArthur township along the Tablelands Highway, covers part of the prospective McArthur Basin geology, 65km south-west of the McArthur Zinc mine. The licence has two major copper targets – Kilgour Crossing and Donkey Yard, both of which have been explored intermittently over the past 50 years.
Mineralisation at McArthur River is hosted by the Mallapunyah Formation, in two dolomitic and variably bituminous intervals informally termed the ‘upper’ and ‘lower’ copper beds, which are 1m to 150mm thick, respectively. Chalcocite and chalcopyrite are present in the ‘lower copper bed’ along its strike length of 500m. Copper mineralisation in the lower copper bed 5km north of the Kilgour Crossing prospect comprised approximately equal quantities of chalcocite and bornite.
Previous exploration in the area was conducted by companies including Carpentaria Exploration, Australian Geophysicals, Aberfoyle and Mount Isa Mines.
Yah Yah – EL 28509
The Yah Yah tenement, located approximately 50km south-west of the McArthur township, contains the historical Yah Yah copper mine, which produced some 40 tonnes of hand-picked, high-grade copper (20-30% Cu) ore prior to 1912. A grab sample collected from a Yah Yah waste dump by CRA Exploration assayed 30.4% Cu. In addition, BHP completed a soil survey which returned best results of up to 562ppm Cu from a 300m wide zone over the old structure.
TNG plans to complete a thorough rock chip sampling program over the region in order to confirm the scope and tenor of mineralisation, and will potentially also conduct a VTEM survey to map the host rock.
Black Springs – EL 28503
The Black Springs tenement is located 4km south of McArthur EL 27711 covering southern extensions of the prospective McArthur stratigraphy.

CORPORATE
Strategic alliance with leading Chinese minerals group
On 7 November 2011, TNG signed the subscription agreement with the East China Mineral Exploration & Development Bureau (“ECE”), formalising the previously announced strategic partnership.
ECE is a major Chinese mineral exploration, development and mining group, based in Nanjing, which has been set up since 1955. It has over 5,000 employees and is one of the few organisations authorised by the Chinese Government to carry out geological exploration and scientific research in major State classified projects. ECE has discovered more than 160 ore deposits in China with a potential value of in excess of $10 billion.
The subscription agreement was signed with ECE subsidiary Ao-Zhong International Mineral Resources Pty Ltd (“Ao-Zhong”) and Aosu Investment and Development Co Pty (“Aosu”). Under the terms of the Subscription Agreement:
-
ECE subsidiary Ao-Zhong will subscribe for 62,249,812 TNG shares and ECE subsidiary Aosu will subscribe for 59,808,643 shares, to be issued at a price of 11 cents per share, giving the entities a combined 30 per cent stake in the Company following completion of the transaction and resulting in a $13.4 million cash injection to TNG;
-
ECE will be offered two non-executive board positions, one of which to be Chairperson, on the TNG Board following completion of the transaction;
-
A strategic alliance will be established to target further growth opportunities; and

Completion of first phase of capital raising
TNG signed a Variation Deed on 18[th] January 2012 in relation to the subscription agreement with Ao-Zhong International Mineral Resources Pty Ltd and Aosu Investment and Development Co Pty.
The Variation Deed allows Aosu, which is an Australian subsidiary of a private Chinese investment group introduced by ECE, to complete its part of the transaction immediately ($6,578,950 (before costs)) while Australian foreign investment approval is awaited for Ao-Zhong’s investment.
The $13.4 million transaction with Ao-Zhong and Aosu was approved by shareholders at the EGM on 21[st] December 2011 and all other approvals have been received.
Ao-Zhong submitted its application for foreign investment approval prior to Christmas, with the approval process expected to proceed during the early part of the year.
Aosu has subscribed for and has been issued 59,808,643 shares, issued at a price of 11 cents per share, providing an immediate cash injection to TNG of $6,578,950 (before costs). TNG has used some of these funds to immediately repay the loan of $2 million (plus interest) owing to Aosu. This loan was provided last year to supply interim working capital pending completion of the overall $13.4 million transaction.
Completion of Aosu’s subscription provides significant funding to enable the key metallurgical work program for the Mount Peake Project and TIVAN™ process to continue; the funds will also underpin continued activity at the Company’s other projects.
Once foreign investment approval is received, Ao-Zhong will complete an additional investment of $6,847,479 at 11 cents per share.
Under the Variation Deed, the date for satisfaction of the foreign investment approval condition in the subscription agreement with Ao-Zhong has been extended from 31 December 2011 to 31 March 2012.
When this part of the transaction is completed, Ao-Zhong will have the ability to nominate a further nonexecutive director who will also become Chairperson of TNG. Details of Aosu’s and Ao-Zhong’s nominees to the TNG Board were set out in the Notice of Meeting released to ASX on 21 November 2011.
Appointment of new Directors
During the Quarter, TNG appointed experienced corporate adviser and finance industry executive, Mr Rex Turkington, as a non-executive Director. Mr Turkington is a highly experienced corporate advisor and economist who has worked extensively in the financial services and stockbroking industry in Australia, specializing in the exploration and mining sectors.
Subsequent to the end of the Quarter, the Company appointed Mr Zhigang WANG, as a non-executive Director, effective from completion of the investment by Aosu. Mr. Wang is Chairman of Aosu which is part of the Wanlong Group of companies (Wanlong Group) comprising Suzhou Wanlong Electric Group Co. Ltd (Wanlong) and Suzhou Beijia Investment Co Ltd. (Beijia). Wanlong holds 51% of the issued capital of Aosu and Beijia holds the remaining 49%.
