COVID-19
During the quarter, the Company acted quickly to ensure the safety of its staff as the COVID-19 crisis developed into the pandemic.
As a result of these swift measures, all of the Company’s personnel in Australia and overseas were able to return to home bases safely and all remain in good health.
In Australia, the Company has adhered to all of the Federal and State recommendations for the health and safety of its staff and has adopted work-from-home protocols in order to comply with social distancing guidelines, with the exception of payroll – where the software concerned cannot be operated remotely.
In addition, the Company has reduced its senior management hours and, consequently, salaries by 40% and the Board of Directors’ fees by 20% – to be reviewed monthly during the crisis period. The Board of Directors have agreed to take TNG shares in lieu of payment subject to shareholder approval at the Company’s next General Meeting. This will help to preserve the Company’s strong cash position while still allowing the business to continue operating as efficiently as possible to keep all important Project workstreams in place.
The Company has also secured rate reductions from a number of its key suppliers and contractors.
As announced on 31 March 2020, a number of contractors linked to development planning for the Mount Peake Project have been impacted by the COVID-19 situation, which may affect their ability to deliver agreed scopes of work within planned timeframes.
The key FEED work streams related to design and engineering have experienced relatively limited disruption to date, and will continue to be progressed. However, a range of other supporting FEED work streams have been impacted by temporary shutdowns of business units in heavily affected locations and travel restrictions, and will therefore be deferred for the time being.
As a result, the timing of the FEED study completion is likely to be impacted. While the Company is not at this stage expecting any major delays, this is subject to further developments with the rapidly changing COVID-19 global situation.
The Company is continuing to monitor the situation closely to assess if any further impacts to project delivery will occur.
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 and one of the most advanced in pre-development activities.
Mount Peake Project Progress, Planning and Development
Front-End Engineering and Design (“FEED”) Study
During the quarter, TNG’s strategic engineering and development partner, the German-based metallurgical engineering firm SMS group (“SMS”), continued to advance the comprehensive FEED study for the Project.
The areas covered include all the process plant equipment required for the mine site Beneficiation Plant and all processing equipment for the DPF, including all associated plant and equipment.
On 28 January 2020, SMS’s FEED team provided a detailed briefing to TNG’s Management and FEED team at TNG’s office in Perth.
The team also visited the DPF site and had meetings with the NT Government.
Representatives of SMS conducted further meetings with reagent suppliers and construction companies during their visit to Australia.

Non-Process Infrastructure (“NPI”)
In parallel with the FEED study, the Company continued to advance the planning and design for the NPI required at both the DPF and mine site. This included tendering for:
-
Mining and tailings operations; and
-
Haul roads, bore field, accommodation camp, logistics infrastructure and power supply.
The tender packages were submitted to selected companies and the results are being reviewed by the senior management team ahead of selecting successful tenders for contract negotiations.
Land Site – Darwin TIVAN® Processing Facility
The Company continued to advance discussions with the NT Government while awaiting a formal response to its proposal for acquisition.
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 Project Control Group and various government departments.
Darwin Process Facility Environmental Impact Statement
During the quarter, the Draft EIS for the Company’s proposed TIVAN® Processing Facility in Darwin (“DPF”) was available for a period of public comment, which ended on 21 February 2020.
Subsequent to the end of the public comment period, the NT EPA advised the Company that a Supplement to the EIS will be required as part of the next stage of the Environmental Impact Assessment (“EIA”) process. This a normal and expected process.
The NT EPA has advised that comments about the information required in the Supplement, from the Northern Territory Government, will be provided to the Company following review and consolidation of all agency comments.
The Company has followed this up with the relevant agencies but at the date of this report no formal comments or requirements from the NTEPA had been received.
The specific additional requirements and approval timelines for the completion of any supplement are therefore unknown, and may be further impacted by the COVID-19 situation.
Off-Take Agreements
Vanadium Pentoxide
TNG and GUNVOR have continued negotiations and discussions for the completion of a formal agreement for potential off-take of 40% of the forecast 6,000 tonnes per annum of high-purity vanadium pentoxide intended to be produced by the Mount Peake Project, following the execution of the Binding Term Sheet in December 2019.
A draft agreement has been prepared and is currently under review by both parties.
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
The Company has progressed negotiations with V.M. Salgaocar & Bro. (Singapore) Pte. Ltd. in order to finalise a binding life-of-mine off-take of the high-purity iron ore products intended to be produced by the Mount Peake Project based on the Binding Term Sheet signed in December 2019.
A draft agreement has been prepared and is currently under review by both parties.

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
Debt
During the quarter, the Company continued to progress work and assist with due diligence with its exclusive senior debt advisor and arranger, KfW IPEX-Bank GmbH (“KfW IPEX-Bank”). Due to the COVID-19 impact in Germany, it is likely that the completion of any required due diligence will be delayed.
The Company has submitted a detailed proposal to NAIF and continued discussions regarding potential funding for the Project. The Company awaits a formal response from NAIF.
Equity
The Company continued to progress and evaluate a number of different options for equity financing. The final equity requirement will be determined following completion of the FEED study and confirmation of the level of debt funding available.
During the quarter, senior representatives of TNG met with major financial institutions and equity funds both in Australia and overseas, principally in Cape Town and Singapore.
In light of the COVID-19 impact in Europe, it is likely that the completion of any due diligence activities will be delayed.
OTHER PROJECTS
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.
CORPORATE
Deferral of Dual Listing on the Main Market of the London Stock Exchange
During the quarter, the TNG Board of Directors resolved to postpone the proposed dual listing on the Main Market of the London Stock Exchange (“LSE”) (the “LSE Listing”) announced in October 2019.
The proposed dual listing was deferred until the FEED study for the Mount Peake Project is finalised by SMS.
The decision was made following careful assessment of the timing of the LSE Listing and the expected timing of the delivery of the FEED study results, as well as extensive engagement by TNG’s directors with corporate advisers, brokers and investors in the London and European markets.
Board of Directors Update
On 7 February 2020, John Davidson resigned as a non-executive Director. Mr Davidson agreed to step down to focus on spearheading the development of TNG’s growth plans in the emerging Vanadium Redox Battery (“VRB”) industry, subject to agreement between both parties, together with his own business enterprise in alternative energy solutions. The development of this has subsequently been deferred until the COVID-19 crisis is over.
On 17 February 2020, the Company announced that highly experienced former Cristal senior executive Mr Simon Morten was going to transition to the Company’s Board as a Non-Executive Director. Mr Morten previously served as General Manager – Titanium Production and will continue to advise in a consulting capacity.
Mr Morten’s appointment brings 30 years of experience in the titanium pigment industry to the TNG Board, including extensive expertise in pigment manufacture and processing. Mr Morten has spent most of his career with Cristal, which was recently acquired by Tronox, one of the world’s leading vertically integrated producers of highquality titanium products and zircon, with a diverse global footprint.

Investor and Market Engagement
During the quarter, TNG representatives continued to engage with several investors focused in both debt and equity in Australia, Europe, South Africa and Asia in order to expand the Company’s profile in domestic and international markets.
Mr Paul Burton, TNG’s Managing Director & CEO, presented at the 121 Mining Investment Conference in Cape Town in early February 2020.
Mr Philippe Guillemaille, GM Sales and Marketing, attended conferences and presented in Singapore, Shanghai and Berlin.
All international meetings occurred prior to the Company cancelling travel for all employees and contractors due to the onset and rapid escalation of the COVID-19 pandemic.
Financial Position
TNG had total cash reserves of $12.3 million as at 31 March 2020.
During the quarter, payments for engineering, exploration and evaluation activities for the Company’s flagship Mount Peake Project totalled $3.27m as detailed in the enclosed Quarterly Cash Flow Report.
