REVIEW OF OPERATIONS

Overview

The half year ended 31 December 2019 marked another period of significant achievement for the Company as it continues to progress towards the financing and development of the world class Mount Peake Vanadium-TitaniumIron Project (“Project”) in the Northern Territory, Australia.

Mount Peake is a world-scale strategic metals project located 235km northwest of Alice Springs, discovered and 100% owned by TNG. The project is well positioned close to existing power and transport infrastructure, including the Alice Springs-Darwin Railway and the Stuart Highway. Close to surface and flat lying, the Mount Peake ore body has a JORC Measured, Indicated and Inferred Resource Resource of 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, making it one of the largest undeveloped vanadium-titanium-iron projects globally.

______________

Mount Peake Development Strategy

The Company’s strategy is to produce three high-value, high-purity products from the Mount Peake mine utilising a world first processing technology, the TIVAN® process, developed and 100% owned by TNG. The Project is proposed to be developed across two sites in the Northern Territory:

  • a mine site located on granted mining tenure 235km northwest of Alice Springs in the Northern Territory, including an open pit mining operation and a proposed Beneficiation Plant; and

  • an upstream TIVAN® Processing Facility, including a Titanium Pigment Plant, proposed to be located at a site in the Middle Arm Industrial Precinct on the Darwin Harbour.

The Beneficiation Plant will produce a magnetite concentrate using conventional technology to be transported by rail to the Darwin based TIVAN® Processing Facility for further processing and production of the three high value commercial products - vanadium pentoxide (V2O5), titanium dioxide pigment (TiO2) and iron oxide (Fe2O3).

The TIVAN® process underpins the Mount Peake Project, and is a high value asset for the Company protected by a series of patents registered globally. TNG and its technical advisers developed the process over many years to overcome the limitations of conventional processing.

Milestones Achieved in the Reporting Period

The key milestones achieved during the year relating included:

  • Significant advancement of the Front-End Engineering and Design (“FEED”) Study being undertaken by Germanbased SMS group (“SMS”) for the Darwin TIVAN® Processing Facility and the Beneficiation Plant.

  • Development of an optimised delivery strategy for Mount Peake as part of the ongoing FEED Study based on an initial production rate of 2 million tonnes per annum ore throughput at the Beneficiation Plant, which is likely more amenable to the project finance structure currently under consideration.

  • Submission of the Mining Management Plan (“MMP”) for the Mount Peake Mine Site to the Northern Territory Department of Primary Industry and Resources.

  • Submission of the draft Environment Impact Statement (“EIS”) for the Darwin TIVAN® Processing Facility to the Northern Territory Environmental Protection Authority (“NT EPA”).

  • Execution of a Binding Term Sheet with the global commodity trader GUNVOR (Singapore) for potential life-ofmine off-take of 40% of the high-purity vanadium pentoxide forecast to be produced by Mount Peake.

  • Execution of a Binding Term Sheet with leading Indian mining conglomerate the Vimson Group for potential life-of-mine off-take of 100% of the high-grade iron oxide products forecast to be produced by Mount Peake.

  • Submission of an application to the Northern Territory Department of Infrastructure, Planning and Logistics for the direct sale of Crown Land for the proposed land site for the TIVAN® Processing Facility in Darwin.

  • Extension of the mandate letter executed in December 2018 between TNG and the Company’s exclusive senior debt advisor and arranger, Germany’s KfW IPEX-Bank GmbH, to 11 December 2020.

  • Receipt of $2.18 million as a refundable tax offset under the Federal Government’s Research and Development (“R&D”) tax incentive scheme for eligible R&D activities during FY19 related to the TIVAN® Process.

  • Completion of a fully underwritten pro rata non-renounceable rights issue raising approximately $5 million.

Mount Peake Status

During the period, the Company continued to progress planning, design and engineering for the Mount Peake Project, including the FEED Study for the Darwin TIVAN® Processing Facility and the Mine Site Beneficiation Plant, and the Project’s non-process infrastructure (“NPI”) requirements including roads, camp facilities, borefield, logistics and mining. The FEED Study and NPI work will provide confirmation of the final expenditure required in support of the project financing structure and development.

Upon conclusion of the FEED study, SMS will provide to TNG a fixed-price engineering, procurement and construction proposal to deliver the TIVAN® Processing Facility and Beneficiation Plant. The proposal will include production quantity, production rate and product quality guarantees.

The Company also materially advanced permitting for the Project during the reporting period. The MMP for the Mount Peak Mine Site was submitted, which details how the Company will operate the mine under the Northern Territory Environmental Protection Authority environmental guidelines and its plans for rehabilitation on completion of the mining. The Company also submitted the draft EIS for the Darwin TIVAN® Processing Facility, which was developed to address the requirements of the Terms of Reference received from the NT EPA.

Mount Peake Financing

TNG announced in December 2018 that it had engaged Germany’s State-owned KfW IPEX-Bank GmbH (“KfW”) as its exclusive senior debt advisor and arranger to lead a debt raise for the development and construction of the Mount Peake Project (“KfW Mandate”). KfW is a specialised solution provider in export and project financing with a proven track record for complex project financings worldwide.

Under the KfW Mandate, KfW will structure, coordinate, lead, arrange and manage a syndicate to raise a targeted amount of up to US$600 million (A$850 million) to underpin the project financing package. KfW will advise TNG on how to maximise, to the greatest extent possible, cover instruments available from export credit agencies.

In December 2019, the Company announced an extension of the KfW Mandate to 11 December 2020, unless extended by both parties.

During the period, the Company continued to progress its project financing strategy for Mount Peake. An application was submitted to the Northern Australia Infrastructure Facility (“NAIF”) regarding potential Project financing. The Company also commenced the planning process to seek a potential dual listing in London on the Main Market of the London Stock Exchange.

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 further information was supplied by Mesmeric Enterprises during the reporting period.

Working Capital

TNG had total cash reserves of $16.4 million and working capital of $14.8 million at the end of the reporting period. The Company continues to closely monitor its funding requirements.

TNG Limited and Controlled Entities Notes to the consolidated financial statements

_________________

1 Basis of preparation

TNG Limited (the “Company”) is a for-profit company domiciled in Australia. The condensed consolidated interim financial report as at and for the six months ended 31 December 2019 comprises the Company and its subsidiaries (together referred to as the “Group”). The Group is a for profit entity and is primarily involved in the exploration, evaluation and development of mineral assets within Australia.

The consolidated annual financial report of the Group as at and for the year ended 30 June 2019 is available upon request from the Company’s registered office at Suite 20, 22 Railway Rd Subiaco 6008 or at www.tngltd.com.au

2 Statement of compliance

The condensed consolidated half-year financial statements have been prepared in accordance with AASB 134 Interim Financial Reporting , and the Corporation Act 2001.

The Half-Year Financial Report does not include all of the information required for a full annual financial report, and should be read in conjunction with the consolidated financial report of the Group as at and for the year ended 30 June 2019.

The Half-Year Financial Report was approved by the Board of Directors on 10 March 2020.

3 Significant accounting policies

The accounting policies applied in these financial statements are consistent with those applied by the Group in the 30 June 2019 consolidated financial statements except as disclosed below.

Changes in accounting policies

AASB 16 Leases

This note explains the impact of the adoption of AASB 16 Leases on the Group’s financial statements and discloses the new accounting policy that have been applied from 1 July 2019.

The Group has adopted AASB 16 Leases from 1 July 2019, but has not restated comparatives for the 2018 reporting period, as permitted under the specific transitional provisions in the standard using the modified retrospective method of transition. On transition to AASB 16, the group elected to apply the practical expedient to grandfather the assessment of which transactions are leases. The reclassifications and the adjustments arising from the new leasing rules are therefore recognised in the opening balance on 1 July 2019.

Accounting policy

Until the 2019 financial year, leases of property, plant and equipment were classified as operating leases. Payments made under operating leases were charged to profit or loss on a straight line basis over the period of the lease.


Page 12

TNG Limited and Controlled Entities Notes to the consolidated financial statements

_________________

3 Significant accounting policies (continued)

From 1 July 2019, leases are recognised as a right-of-use asset and a corresponding liability at the date at which the leased asset is available for use by the Group. Each lease payment is allocated between the liability and finance cost. The finance cost is charged to profit or loss over the lease period to produce a constant periodic rate of interest on the remaining balance of the liability for each period. The rightof-use asset is depreciated over the shorter of the asset’s useful life and the lease term on a straight line basis.

Assets and liabilities arising from the lease are initially measured on a present value basis. Lease liabilities include the net present value of the following lease payments:

  • fixed payments

  • variable lease payment that are based on an index or a rate

  • the option to renew the lease

The lease payments are discounted using the interest rate implicit in the lease. If that rate cannot be determined, the lessee’s incremental borrowing rate is used, being the rate that the lessee would have to pay to borrow the fund necessary to obtain an asset of similar value in a similar economic environment with similar terms and conditions.

Right-of-use assets are measured at cost comprising the following:

  • the amount of the initial measurement of lease liability

  • any lease payments made at or before the commencement date

Payments associated with short-term leases and leases of low-value assets are recognised on a straightline basis as an expense in profit or loss. Short-term leases are leases with a lease term of 12 months or less. Low-value assets are assets with a replacement value of less than US$5,000.

Adjustments recognised on adoption of AASB 16

On adoption of AASB 16, The Group recognised lease liabilities in relation to leases which had previously been classified as ‘operating leases’ under the principles of AASB 117 Leases. These liabilities were measured at the present value of the remaining lease payments, discounted using the lessee’s incremental borrowing rate as at 1 July 2019. The weighted average lessee’s incremental borrowing rate applied to the lease liabilities on 1 July 2019 was 4.25%.

Practical expedients applied:

In applying AASB 16 for the first time, the Group has used the following practical expedients permitted by the standard:

  • Grandfathering at the date of initial application.

  • Using a single discount rate to a portfolio of leases with reasonably similar characteristics.

  • Using hindsight in determining the lease term if the contract contains options to extend the lease.

4. Estimates

The preparation of the interim financial report requires management to make judgements, estimates and assumptions that affect the application of accounting policies and the reported amounts of assets and liabilities, income and expense. Actual results may differ from these estimates.

In preparing this Half-Year Financial Report, the significant judgements made by management in applying the Group’s accounting policies and the key sources of estimation uncertainty were the same as those that applied to the consolidated financial report as at and for the year ended 30 June 2019.

5.

Going concern

The financial report has been prepared on a going concern basis, which contemplates the continuity of normal business activity and the realisation of assets and settlement of liabilities in the normal course of business.

Whilst not immediately required, the Group may need to raise additional funds to meet its ongoing obligations and subject to the results of its ongoing exploration and engineering activities, expand or accelerate its work programs. Additional sources of funding available to the Group include capital raising from new or existing shareholders, or through farm-in or similar arrangements. If necessary, Directors can curtail discretionary expenditure to preserve cash reserves.

The Directors have reviewed the Group’s overall financial position and are of the opinion that the use of the going concern basis of accounting is appropriate as they believe the Group has sufficient funds available for at least 12 months and when required will be able to raise further funding. If necessary, the Group can curtail spending should it be required and institute a cost saving measures to further reduce corporate and administrative costs.

6. Segment information

The Board has determined that the Group has one reportable segment, being mineral exploration and evaluation in Australia, consequently the Group does not report segmented operations.

The group’s investments in equity securities are classified as Investment in equity securities (FVOCI). Subsequent to initial recognition, they are measured at fair value. Gains and losses on revaluation of asset are recognised in other comprehensive income (FVOCI). During the reporting period, TNG recognised a fair value adjustment of negative $138,672 through other comprehensive income. The reduction in fair value is mainly due to a significant decline in the share price of Todd River Resources (ASX:TRT).

Auditor’s responsibility for the review of the Half-Year Financial Report

Our responsibility is to express a conclusion on the Half-Year Financial Report based on our review. We conducted our review in accordance with Auditing Standard on Review Engagements ASRE 2410 Review of a Financial Report Performed by the Independent Auditor of the Entity , in order to state whether, on the basis of the procedures described, we have become aware of any matter that makes us believe that the Half-Year Financial Report is not in accordance with the Corporations Act 2001 including: giving a true and fair view of the Group’s financial position as at 31 December 2019 and its performance for the half-year ended on that date; and complying with Australian Accounting Standard AASB 134 Interim Financial Reporting and the Corporations Regulations 2001 . As auditor of Southern Cross Electrical Engineering Limited, ASRE 2410 requires that we comply with the ethical requirements relevant to the audit of the annual financial report.

A review of a Half-Year Financial Report consists of making enquiries, primarily of persons responsible for financial and accounting matters, and applying analytical and other review procedures. A review is substantially less in scope than an audit conducted in accordance with Australian Auditing Standards and consequently does not enable us to obtain assurance that we would become aware of all significant matters that might be identified in an audit. Accordingly, we do not express an audit opinion.

In conducting our review, we have complied with the independence requirements of the Corporations Act 2001 .
