COVID-19
During the quarter, the Company continued to review on a monthly basis the revised working and salary/fee arrangements of its senior project management team and Board of Directors. The health and safety of the Company’s staff remains a priority.
With the progressive easing of Government-imposed restrictions within Western Australia, the Company is now returning towards normalised working hours and arrangements for its project management team and other staff.
All necessary health and safety precautions are being taken as part of this process of returning to the office.
The previously disclosed 20% fee reduction for the Board of Directors has been capped at a duration of three months from commencement. The Board has also revised the structure of this arrangement and determined that, rather than take shares in lieu of payment of these fees (subject to shareholder approval), the Directors will now instead be paid the net amount of the three-month 20% fee reduction (after tax), and buy an equivalent value of the after-tax amount in TNG shares on-market subject to the Trading in Company Securities Policy.
The Board believes that this revised arrangement is a better and less complex outcome for the Company than the previously proposed shares-for-fees arrangement, and importantly does not dilute holdings of existing TNG shareholders.
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 gas and transport infrastructure corridors including the Alice Springs-Darwin Railway and the Stuart Highway. Mount Peake is one of the largest undeveloped vanadiumtitanium-iron projects in the world and one of the most advanced in pre-development activities. (Refer to Appendix A of this report for a full statement of the Mineral Resource).
Mount Peake Project Progress, Planning and Development
Front-End Engineering and Design (“FEED”) Study
During the quarter, TNG and its strategic engineering and development partner, the German-based metallurgical engineering firm SMS group (“SMS”), have continued to advance the key work streams within the comprehensive FEED study for the Mount Peake processing plants related to design and engineering.
Works during the quarter were focused on completion of front-end loading (“FEL”) phases 2 and 3 with the majority of FEL-2 works completed. The balance of work required completion of FEL 2 and FEL-3 were restructured in late March 2020 to address the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic, with the aim of optimising the progression and completion of critical deliverables. Areas of work were:
-
Development of infrastructure;
-
Development of specification for the process flow sheet & balance of plant;
-
Updated and refined Process flow diagrams, heat & mass balance;
-
Process & instrumentation diagrams;
-
Increasing level of detail of plant & 3D design; and
-
Validating test works.
Supporting FEED work streams that have been deferred due to the COVID-19 crisis have now recommenced as restrictions have been eased in heavily affected locations, mainly in Europe. SMS advised that their laboratories are now open and the Company is not aware of any further delays in this area.
Non-Process Infrastructure (“NPI”)
In parallel with the FEED study, the Company continued to progress the major NPI components required at both the Darwin Processing Facility (“DPF”) and the mine site with several work streams now at an advanced stage. In addition tender processes have been progressed and evaluated to a point where successful tenders have been selected for short-listing and/or contract negotiation as shown in the table below:

Mining
The Company has also progressed the tender process for the provision of mining services, with the receipt and evaluation of proposals from mining contractors during the quarter.
The TNG project management team is also working on an owner-operator scenario for mine, load and haul of ore and waste.
Northern Territory Government
The Company executed a new Project Facilitation Agreement (“PFA”) with the Northern Territory Government for the Mount Peake Project during the quarter.
The PFA was executed by the Chief Minister of the Northern Territory, The Honourable Michael Gunner MLA, and TNG’s Managing Director & CEO, Mr Paul Burton. The execution of the new PFA was to demonstrate the whole-ofgovernment planning and development approach from the NT Government for the Mount Peake project.
Land Site – Darwin TIVAN® Processing Facility
The Company is still awaiting a formal response to its proposal for acquisition from the Northern Territory Government and has written to the Chief Minister of the Northern Territory, The Honourable Michael Gunner MLA in this regard.
The land offered to TNG for the DPF is currently Crown Land and is a large disturbed site of approximately 150 acres in Darwin. The land, which is located just 10km from the Darwin Port, had previously been used for building material extraction, is zoned for heavy industry, and is ideally located next to the railway line, the Amadeus Gas pipeline hub and the Darwin power plants.
Project Permitting
During the quarter, the Company held meetings with the Northern Territory Project Control Group and various government departments. The Company has also commenced engagement with several Federal government facilitation agencies to assist in the development of the Mount Peake Project.
Darwin Process Facility Environmental Impact Statement
During the quarter, the Company received a “Direction to Prepare a Supplement to the Company’s Draft EIS” from the Northern Territory Environment Protection Authority (“NT EPA”).
With assistance from its environmental advisors, Animal Plant Mineral (“APM”), the Company has commenced a number of work streams to address all the additional matters raised in the direction including regular liaisons with NTEPA and other stakeholders.
Additional ground-based surveys required to address matters related to marine flora and fauna, noise and inland water quality are now expected to start at the DPF site in early August, in light of the reopening of the Northern Territory border.
TNG is also working on an alternative wastewater management process and is confident of achieving a positive outcome.

Mining Management Plan (“MMP”)
Following the submission of the MMP for the Mount Peake Mine Site to the Department of Primary Industry and Resources (“DPIR”) of the Northern Territory Government in October 2019, the Company recently received responses on the document from the DPIR.
TNG and APM are reviewing these and will address matters raised in detail and in accordance with the highest standards as per its MMP.
Off-Take Agreements
Vanadium Pentoxide
GUNVOR (Singapore) in response to the COVID-19 pandemic requested an extension for completion of the previously signed Binding Term Sheet for a Life-of-Mine Principal Marketing Agreement, and the parties have mutually agreed to extend the completion date for the Agreement by an additional three months.
The Binding Term Sheet with GUNVOR is for the off-take of 40% of the forecast 6,000 tonnes per annum of highpurity vanadium pentoxide intended to be produced by the Mount Peake Project
The Company already has a binding life-of-mine off-take agreement in place with Woojin (Korea) for 60% of TNG’s forecast vanadium pentoxide production.
Iron Ore
Due to the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic on the progression of the agreement, TNG and the Vimson Group have mutually resolved to extend the completion date for the agreement by an additional 45 days. The Binding Terms are for 100% of the Company’s iron production.
Titanium Dioxide Pigment
The Company has a binding life-of-mine off-take and marketing agreement in place with market expansion provider DKSH (Switzerland) for a minimum of 75,000 tonnes and up to 100% of TNG’s titanium dioxide production on an FOB basis.
Project Finance
Bank Finance
During the quarter, the Company continued to liaise with its exclusive senior debt advisor and arranger, KfW IPEXBank GmbH. Due to the impact of COVID-19 in Germany, the Company expects a delay in the completion of the due diligence process for the debt structure.
Following the prior submission of a detailed proposal to the Northern Australia Infrastructure Facility (“NAIF”), the Company has continued discussions with NAIF regarding their funding process.
Equity
The Company has virtually met with major international and domestic financial institutions and equity funds and continued evaluating different options for equity financing. However, the final equity requirement will only be determined following completion of the FEED study and confirmation of the level of debt funding available.
In light of the COVID-19 impact in Europe, the completion of any due diligence activities will be delayed.

OTHER PROJECTS
Kulgera Project
(ELA - 100% TNG)
Subsequent to the end of the June quarter, TNG announced that it has applied for Exploration Licences (“ELA”) for the Kulgera Project, a 1,231km[2] vanadium and titanium exploration project located along the South Australian border in the Northern Territory. The project tenure was applied for and has subsequently been advertised by the NT Government and is now progressing through the normal grant process.
The Kulgera Project tenure was recently dropped by private group Globe Exploration and TNG moved swiftly to take up this ground. The tenure includes a maiden Mineral Resource, independently estimated by consultants CSA Global, for the Arrakis Deposit, which contains a combined JORC 2012 compliant Indicated and Inferred Resource of 346 million tonnes of dune sand with a heavy mineral fraction of 6.3% Heavy Mineral that is dominated by ilmenite (an iron titanium oxide mineral) (see ASX announcement dated 8 July 2020), and could add substantially to the overall Mount Peake resource base.
TNG intends to focus any planned work programs at Kulgera on defining concentrate that could be treated using the Company’s proprietary 100%-owned TIVAN® process and conducting concentrate flowsheet refinement and TIVAN® testwork to determine the economics of extraction which could add to the Mount Peake project.
Moonlight Project
(ELA - 100% TNG)
During the quarter, the Company also submitted Exploration Licence Applications for a vanadium exploration project at Moonlight, located 80km west of Daly Waters in the central Northern Territory. The tenement applications cover a 1,594km[2] area, comprising predominantly the targeted stratigraphy and abundant outcrops of the targeted unit. Tenements are on Pastoral Leases, the western half of the Hidden Valley and eastern Birrimba cattle stations. The Adelaide to Darwin railway line runs through the eastern tenement.
The Company expects to receive the grant of the Moonlight tenements around the end of 2020, allowing for field work to commence following the wet season in early 2021. Further details will be provided subject to grant.
Cawse Extended Mine Project: Nickel-Cobalt
(80%: Mesmeric/20%: TNG)
The Company has a 20% free-carried interest in the Cawse Extended Mining Lease. No information was supplied by Mesmeric Enterprises during the reporting period. The Company continues to request an update and has sought legal opinion.
CORPORATE
Proposed Grant of Performance Rights and Non-Executive Rights
During the quarter, the Company advised that it is proposing to make offers of up to 36.5 million Rights to Directors and eligible executives, employees and consultants under the TNG Limited Performance Rights Plan and the recently established TNG Limited Non-Executive Director (“NED”) Rights Plan (together, the “Rights Plans”).
The proposed Performance Rights and NEDs Rights (together, the “Rights”) are structured in six different classes with each class of Rights subject to different vesting conditions. The Rights classes will be the same for Performance Rights and NED Rights, with the same vesting conditions to apply (see ASX Announcement dated 25 June 2020).
TNG established the Rights Plans to attract and retain talented key personnel required for the successful delivery of the Mount Peake Project and to appropriately incentivise its senior leadership team to drive company performance for the benefit of TNG and all shareholders.
The proposed grant of Rights to Directors is subject to shareholder approval, which is intended to be sought at the Company’s 2020 Annual General Meeting later this year.
