September 2019 Quarterly Activities Report
Mount Peake FEED process advanced | Optimised delivery strategy and revised financial model completed Premium iron ore strategy confirmed | Project development team expanded MMP submitted | EIS nearing completion
HIGHLIGHTS
MOUNT PEAKE VANADIUM-TITANIUM-IRON PROJECT (NT) (TNG: 100%)
Project Progress, Planning and Development
-
The Company optimised its planned execution and delivery strategy for Mount Peake as part of the ongoing Front-End Engineering and Design (“FEED”) study being undertaken by SMS group (“SMS”). The optimised delivery strategy is now based on an initial production rate of 2 million tonnes per annum (“Mtpa”) ore throughput at the Beneficiation Plant.
-
FEED work has also confirmed TNG’s premium iron ore strategy for the Project, with the Company targeting production of a high-grade iron oxide product grading over 64% Fe with low impurities, which is expected to command a premium to the 62% Fe benchmark price.
-
The Beneficiation Plant flowsheet was finalised by Como Engineers during the quarter, with the design being overseen by SMS. The Beneficiation Plant has been designed with a focus on sustainability and automation, using proven technologies to ensure magnetite concentrate production and quality targets are achieved to deliver a consistent feedstock to the TIVAN® Processing Plant in Darwin within accepted tolerances.
-
A short diamond drilling program was completed at Mount Peake to deliver samples for pre-development engineering and optimisation work as part of the ongoing FEED study.
-
A consignment of magnetite concentrate, produced from ore composite samples generated from the Reverse Circulation drilling program completed in April, was delivered to SMS in Germany in July for equipment selection testwork, which is progressing.
-
Three highly qualified resource industry professionals, Dan Foo, Terry Stark and Graeme Stephen, were appointed to oversee project delivery, mining activities and the titanium dioxide pigment business respectively for the Mount Peake Project.
Project Permitting
-
The Mining Management Plan (“MMP”) for the Mount Peake Mine Site was submitted to the Department of Primary Industry and Resources of the Northern Territory Government just after the end of the quarter.
-
The Environmental Impact Statement (“EIS”) for the Darwin TIVAN® Processing Plant continued to progress with final reports being compiled by TNG’s principal environmental consultant, Animal Plant Mineral Pty Ltd (“APM”).
Project Financing
-
Germany’s KfW IPEX-Bank (“KfW”), the Company’s exclusive senior debt advisor and arranger for project debt financing, continued to work closely with TNG and SMS to refine and optimise the Project financial model, with the aim of achieving an improved debt/equity structure that is tailored to match the robust economics of the Mount Peake Project.

MOUNT PEAKE VANADIUM-TITANIUM-IRON PROJECT (TNG: 100%)
PROJECT SUMMARY AND DETAILS
The Mount Peake Project is a potential world-scale strategic metals project located 235km north-west of Alice Springs in the Northern Territory, close to existing key power and transport infrastructure corridors including the Alice Springs-Darwin Railway and the Stuart Highway. With a JORC Measured, Indicated and Inferred Resource totalling 160 million tonnes (118 million tonnes Measured, 20 million tonnes Indicated, 22 million tonnes Inferred) grading 0.28% V2O5, 5.3% TiO2 and 23% Fe (refer to Appendix A of this report for a full statement of the Mineral Resource), Mount Peake is one of the largest undeveloped vanadium-titanium-iron projects in the world.

Mount Peake Project Progress, Planning and Development
Optimised Delivery Strategy
As part of the Company’s continued focus on reducing pre-production capital expenditure (“CAPEX”) for the Project, and after considering and benchmarking various alternative scenarios, a development strategy based on an initial production rate of 2Mtpa ore throughput at the Beneficiation Plant – corresponding to 100,000tpa of TiO2 pigment – has been selected by TNG and its advisors.
This follows a detailed financial analysis of the revised mining schedule completed by Snowden Mining Industry Consultants (“Snowden”) (see ASX Announcement dated 11 September 2019).
The revised mining strategy established that a focus on two higher-grade vanadium pits within the Mount Peake Resource could result in a reduced ore mining and processing rate while delivering an equally well suited magnetite concentrate stream to the planned Darwin-based TIVAN® Processing Facility (see Figure 2).

Figure 2: Proposed Mount Peake Project mine site layout including two higher-grade vanadium pits
Previous feasibility studies were based on a 3Mtpa run-of-mine (“ROM”) production capacity during an initial production stage with capacity increasing to 6Mtpa ROM by expanding the plant after four years of operations.
Discussions with TNG’s delivery team, SMS and the Company’s mandated debt financier, KfW IPEX-Bank (“KfW”), have confirmed that simplifying the Project towards a one-stage build, while minimising capacity and CAPEX, is most amenable to the targeted debt/equity structure for the Project.
At a reduced mining rate, the Project’s expected initial CAPEX and operating expenditure (“OPEX”) will also be reduced, while the mine life of the operation will be extended to 37 years. At a later date, after financial completion of construction and operation of the 2Mtpa plant, TNG may consider the option to make a commercial decision to commence an expansion of production capacity.
The Feasibility Study financial model (see ASX announcement dated 20 November 2017) has also been reviewed based on this new information and the results have confirmed that, with the reduced ore mining and processing rates achieved under the optimised delivery strategy, there is potential to deliver savings and reduce the initial overall development CAPEX.

==> picture [461 x 20] intentionally omitted <==
==> picture [83 x 20] intentionally omitted <==
Based on the Company’s updated assumptions, the Project’s net cash flow is expected to increase by A$0.5 billion over the life of the mine with the potential for a reduction in pre-production CAPEX of approximately 15%.
However, given the scale and complexity of the Project, the Company considers it prudent to absorb these reductions into additional CAPEX contingency allocations. The resulting updated CAPEX estimate is now A$824 million, which corresponds to a reduction of A$29 million from the previous indicative CAPEX of A$853 million.
A summary of the revised financial outcomes under the single-stage optimised 2Mtpa strategy is provided in Table 1 below:
Table 1: Interim financial analysis of the Mount Peake Project as at August 2019*
| Interim Financial Model August 20191 |
|
|---|---|
| Pre-production CAPEX (Stage 1 infrastructure,mine site,Beneficiation Plant,ProcessingPlant) |
A$824 million |
| Pre-tax IRR | 33% |
| Pre-tax NPV8% | A$2.8 billion |
| Processing life | 37years |
| Pre-tax net annual average cash-flow | A$359 million |
| Life-of-mine net cash-flow | A$12.2 billion |
| Total Operating costs2 | A$210/tonne of oreprocessed |
| Payback | 2.8years |
1Updated assumptions include long-term A$; US$ exchange rate of 0.70; updated long-term price assumptions of US$25,400/tonne for V2O5 (US$11.50/lb), US$3,600.00/t TiO2 pigment and US$102.00/tonne for high grade Fe2O3.
2Includes lease repayments
*Note: All prices and outcomes are indicative only while the FEED process is progressing and the update is an interim financial study, not final.
While the figures in the table above are lower than the previously calculated scenarios with higher production capacity or a two-stage development strategy, the Company expects the reduction in CAPEX to significantly increase the probability of being able to close out project finance on terms that will minimise dilution and maximise value capture for existing shareholders.
Premium Iron Ore Strategy
Technical due diligence undertaken during the FEED process – including evaluation of a number of processing variables and market conditions – has confirmed TNG’s iron oxide product strategy and the technical and commercial merit of targeting of a high-grade Fe content product grading over 64% Fe with low impurities, which is expected to command a premium to the 62% Fe benchmark price.
The final product route, including a decision on the production of fines or pellets, will be confirmed during the FEED study.
Mount Peake Beneficiation Plant
During the quarter, the mine site Beneficiation Plant flowsheet (see Figure 3) was finalised by Como Engineers with the design being overseen by SMS group. The Beneficiation Plant will produce a consistent high-quality magnetite concentrate using conventional technology based on extensive metallurgical testing. The current design involves:
-
Crushing;
-
Grinding and classification;
-
Magnetic separation;
-
Dewatering of magnetite concentrate; and
-
Dewatering of tailings.
The magnetite concentrate proposed to be produced by the Beneficiation Plant will be treated through the planned TIVAN® Processing Facility in Darwin (see Figure 1). The first stage of the process requires pre-treatment of the magnetite concentrate in preparation for the phase in which iron slurry is then processed to produce high-quality haematite powder.
The specific location of the Beneficiation Plant at the Mount Peake mine site has been selected by TNG in consultation with Como Engineers, Snowden and other key consultants, to ensure that its placement took into consideration all aspects of mining and processing operations in order to optimise project outcomes over the life of mine (see Figure 4). The location decision was supported by the previous sterilisation drilling program conducted in April 2019 (see ASX Announcement dated 4 April 2019).
In addition, tailings dry stacking testwork has been completed and final designs on the IWL are nearing completion, which will ensure that water usage for the production of magnetite concentrate is optimised.

TIVAN® Processing Facility
During the quarter, SMS group continued to progress the design of the TIVAN® Processing Facility. As part of the FEED study, testwork programs are being undertaken to support the provision of production and product quality guarantees for the Processing Facility by SMS.
Industry-leading German technology provider, Ti-Cons, continued to progress work on the Pigment Plant design for the TIVAN® feedstock and the process to produce a high-quality pigment. The Pigment Plant will be located adjacent to the TIVAN® Processing Facility in Darwin.
Drilling Program
During the quarter, the Company undertook a short diamond drilling program at Mount Peake as part of ongoing predevelopment engineering and optimisation work (see ASX Announcement dated 19 August 2019).
The program was designed to deliver samples for analysis to assist with the completion of FEED programs currently in progress, providing information for blastability, material handling testing, variability testwork, acid mine drainage studies and groundwater monitoring.
In total, approximately 900 metres of PQ-sized diamond core were drilled, generating over 500 metres of mineralised core and approximately eight tonnes of ore material.
Product Pricing Development
The vanadium pentoxide (98%) price was flat during the September 2019 quarter with an average price of US$8.45/lb. The price of vanadium pentoxide is now at its current historical average level.
The titanium dioxide pigment price has been flat at US$3,000/t since the end of June 2019. Supply and demand seem to be well balanced, with a slight increase in prices only in the US market (+ 0.7%).
The price for iron ore (62%) blend fines averaged US$100/tonne in the September 2019 quarter. The price fell to US$85/tonne at the end of August, increasing since September.
Project Permitting
Environmental Impact Study (“EIS”)
The EIS for the TIVAN® Processing Facility in Darwin is being undertaken by TNG’s principal environmental consultant, APM, under the terms of reference received from the Northern Territory Government Environment Protection Authority. Further works have progressed well during the quarter and the final report is being prepared by APM for submission as soon as possible.
Mine Management Plan (“MMP”)
The Company submitted the MMP for the Mount Peake mine site to the Department of Primary Industry and Resources of the Northern Territory Government subsequent to the end of the quarter. The MMP is a requirement following the environmental approvals for the Mount Peake mine site and its primary purpose is to formalise the actions to be taken and strategies to be implemented which, in combination, will manage impacts to the environment to acceptable and sustainable limits over both the short and long-term.
Project Execution and Development Team
During the quarter, the Company continued to expand and strengthen its Execution and Development team with the appointment of three highly experienced resource industry professionals, Dan Foo, Terry Stark and Graeme Stephen.
Engineering and project development executive Dan Foo has been appointed as Project Director to oversee the project delivery schedule, FEED study and overall implementation of the Mount Peake Project. Mr Foo is a qualified mechanical engineer with over 40 years’ experience as a hands-on executive with front-line exposure to major projects in the mining and mineral industry.
Terry Stark has been appointed to the newly-created role of General Manager Mining Operations. Mr Stark brings more than 40 years of broad experience in the mining and civil industries, including both underground and surface mining expertise across multiple operations in Australia.

==> picture [83 x 20] intentionally omitted <==
Highly-regarded titanium dioxide industry specialist Graeme Stephen has joined TNG in the newly-created role of Titanium Process Manager, initially on a consulting basis. Mr Stephen has a very strong background both in Research & Development (especially product and process development) and manufacturing in the titanium dioxide industry, including as site director of three large manufacturing sites.
In addition, during the quarter Paul Kreppold moved to a full-time project role responsible for the delivery of the non-process infrastructure and other associated packages for the Project, integrating with the Project Director’s responsibilities.
At the end of September, Tony Arena resigned from his full-time position as General Manager Processing. Mr Arena’s expertise was focused on the development and the design of the Beneficiation Plant for the Mount Peak Mine Site and mine plan. This work was completed satisfactorily.
All other process related work is being managed by TNG’s in-house process engineers, supported by external consultants METS and SMS Process Technologies.
Project Finance
During the quarter, the Company’s exclusive senior debt advisor and arranger, KfW, was involved in discussions with TNG and SMS regarding the Company’s revised delivery strategy. KfW confirmed that simplifying the Project towards a one-stage build, while minimising capacity and CAPEX, is most amenable to the targeted debt/equity structure tailored to match the robust economics of the Mount Peake Project.
The Company continues to progress and evaluate a number of different options for equity financing. The final equity requirement will be determined upon completion of the FEED study and confirmation of the level of debt funding available.
During the period, TNG senior representatives met with major financial institutions and equity funds both in Australia and overseas, principally in London, Frankfurt and Singapore.
