MOUNT PEAKE PROJECT - VANADIUM -TITANIUM-IRON (TNG: 100%)
Project Summary and Details
Mount Peake is one of the largest undeveloped vanadium-titanium-iron projects in the world and one of the most advanced currently at the pre-development stage (refer to Appendix A of this report for a full statement of the Mount Peake Mineral Resource).
Mount Peake Project Progress, Planning and Development
Front-End Engineering and Design Study
During the quarter, the majority of the FEED study for both the Beneficiation Plant and the TIVAN® Processing Facility was completed by SMS group and is now under review by TNG’s Project Team.
The Front-End Loading Phase 3 (FEL-3) report for the Beneficiation Plant has been completed and delivered by SMS, and has been technically reviewed by TNG. The Beneficiation Plant was designed by Como Engineers to process up to 2.1Mtpa of titanomagnetite ore, with the aim of producing up to 0.7Mtpa of vanadium- and titanium-bearing magnetite concentrate for further processing at the Darwin Processing Facility (DPF)[1] .
An indicative capital cost estimate has been provided as part of the FEL-3 phase of approximately $146M[2] (+/- 10%), including all direct and indirect costs.
Execution planning for the Beneficiation Plant is now being finalised in support of the commercial tender process ahead of securing contracts for plant delivery.
During the quarter, SMS provided the majority of the FEL-3 deliverables and associated documentation and design for process-related scopes of the DPF to TNG, which is now being reviewed by the Company’s technical team.
SMS has advised that, due to the recent escalation of COVID-19 restrictions in Europe, delay in the finalisation of validation testwork at the SMS laboratories in Austria has impacted some deliverables for the completion of the FEED study by the agreed date. SMS will provide the final FEED study report for TNG’s technical review once validation testwork is completed.
Following receipt and review of the final complete FEL-3 report for the DPF, the full commercial phase will then be executed in support of formal proposals for the delivery of the Beneficiation Plant and the DPF.
In parallel, TNG and SMS will engage in an optimisation of the Project execution model, the Project sourcing strategy and the final delivery scopes among potential contractors, as well as any value engineering works to explore cost saving options identified by TNG during review of the FEL-3 reports.
Non-Process Infrastructure (“NPI”)
In parallel with the FEED study, the Company is now planning execution of the commercial phases for the NPI works, having previously completed pre-qualification tendering and short-listing of proponents for delivery of the NPI required at both the DPF and the Mount Peake mine site. This includes haul roads, bore fields, accommodation camp, logistics infrastructure, communications, mining operations and power supply.
This will be included into the overall Project Execution Plan (“PEP”).
1 Refer to ASX Announcement dated 11 September 2019 called “Optimised Delivery Strategy for Mount Peake”.
2 The FEL-3 capital cost estimate is indicative only and remains subject to completion of a formal tender process for delivery of firm contract pricing. The contingency applied to all capital items varies between 5 and 17%, with an average of 13.6% of final determined costs.

Australian Federal Government
During the quarter, the Minister for Industry, Science and Technology, the Honourable Karen Andrews MP, awarded Federal Major Project Status to the Mount Peake Project.
The grant of Federal Major Project Status by the Australian Government recognises the strategic significance of the Mount Peake Project to Australia, as it is expected to grow and diversify Australia’s critical mineral resources and contribute to the economic development of the Northern Territory.
Northern Territory Government
Land Site – Darwin TIVAN® Processing Facility
During the quarter, TNG advanced discussions and negotiations directly with representatives of the Northern Territory Government (“NTG”) Department of the Chief Minister and Cabinet (“CM&C”) for execution of the Crown Lease terms over the proposed Darwin TIVAN® Processing Facility site, as well as an agreement to set out the objectives and commitments from both the Company and Government to assist with the successful delivery of the Project.
The involvement of the CM&C strengthens the approach being adopted by the NTG in progressing the final approvals and assistance for the Project.
Project Permitting
Darwin TIVAN® Processing Facility Environmental Impact Statement
On 1 February, the Company submitted the Supplement to its Draft EIS for the Darwin TIVAN® Processing Facility to the Northern Territory Environmental Protection Authority (“NT EPA”).
The Company submitted the Draft EIS in late 2019. Following a detailed review by the NT EPA and receipt of public submissions and comments from NTG agencies, the Company subsequently received a “Direction to Prepare a Supplement to the Draft EIS”.
Following the submission, the EIS Supplement was available for public review from 26 March to 19 April 2021.
In accordance with the Environmental Impact Assessment (“EIA”) and Approval Timelines[3] , the NT EPA will now have 45 business days to prepare an assessment report, draft the environmental approval and seek comments from proponent and statutory decision makers. Then, the EIA will be submitted to the Minister’s Decision, which will take up to 30 business days.
Project Finance
Bank Finance
The Company has advanced discussions with its appointed global financial adviser, KPMG Corporate Finance (“KPMG CF”), and its mandated lead debt arranger KfW IPEX-Bank (“KfW”) regarding the proposed financing structure and supporting due diligence requirements as it approaches completion of the FEED Study.
TNG has also progressed discussions with representatives of the Northern Australia Infrastructure Facility (“NAIF”) on its funding assessment process following submission of the Company’s funding application.
The Company’s corporate finance team, with assistance from KPMG CF, continues to evaluate alternatives for equity financing.
Investor and Market Engagement
During the quarter, TNG representatives continued to engage with several investors focused on both debt and equity in Australia, Europe and Asia in order to expand the Company’s profile in domestic and international markets. Due to COVID-19 travel restrictions, all meetings were held virtually.
