______________

COVID-19

In July 2020, the Company returned to normalised working hours and arrangements for its project management team and other staff with the provision of flexible working arrangements when required. All necessary health and safety precautions continue to be adhered to.

The Company is closely monitoring the COVID-19 situation in Australia and internationally, including new measures implemented by governments around the world, mainly in Europe, and for any potential impacts on the Project.

MOUNT PEAKE VANADIUM-TITANIUM-IRON PROJECT

Project Summary

The Mount Peake Project is a world-scale strategic metals project located in the Northern Territory, 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 Resource of 160 million tonnes grading 0.28% V2O5, 5.3% TiO2 and 23% Fe, making it one of the largest undeveloped vanadium-titanium-iron projects globally.

The Company’s strategy is to produce three high-value, high-purity products – vanadium pentoxide (V2O5), titanium dioxide pigment (TiO2) and iron oxide (Fe2O3) – utilising an innovative 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 (“DPF”), including a Titanium Pigment Plant, proposed to be located at a site in the Middle Arm Industrial Precinct on the Darwin Harbour.

______________

Project Status

During the period, the Company continued to progress planning, design and engineering for the development of the Mount Peake Project, including the comprehensive FEED Study for the Darwin TIVAN® Processing Facility and the Mine Site Beneficiation Plant, which is being undertaken by the leading German-based engineering firm SMS.

In parallel with the FEED study, the Company has completed the tender process and short-listed service providers for the NPI works required at both the DPF and the mine site Beneficiation Plant, which includes haul roads, bore fields, accommodation camp, logistics infrastructure and power supply.

Following completion 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 with the submission of a Revised MMP for the Mount Peak Mine Site to the Department of Industry, Tourism and Trade of the Northern Territory Government (“NTG”). The Revised MMP follows the response to all key matters raised by the NTG on the Initial MMP submitted in late 2019.

During the period, the Company was granted an Authority Certificate (“Certificate”) for the mine site area by the AAPA. The issue of the AAPA Certificate is a key permit the Company required before any on ground commencement of mining operations for the Mount Peake Project.

Mount Peake Products - Off-Take Agreements

Vanadium Pentoxide

During the period, the Company executed a binding life-of-mine off-take and marketing agreement with global commodity trader Gunvor (Singapore) for 40% of the planned production of 6,000 tonnes per annum of high-purity vanadium pentoxide for the Mount Peake Project. The agreement with Gunvor complements the existing life-ofmine agreement with Woojin (Korea) for 60% of TNG’s planned vanadium pentoxide production.

Titanium Dioxide Pigment

The Company has a binding life-of-mine off-take and marketing agreement with market expansion provider DKSH (Switzerland) for a minimum of 75,000 tonnes and up to 100% of TNG’s planned titanium dioxide production for the Mount Peake Project.

Iron Ore

During the period, the Company executed a binding life-of-mine off-take agreement with the Vimson Group for 100% of the planned production of 500,000 tonnes per annum of high-grade iron ore fines (+64% Fe) for the Mount Peake Project.

Mount Peake Financing

In September 2020, TNG appointed KPMG Corporate Finance as its global financial advisor for the Mount Peake Project to assist the Company to optimise and execute the debt and equity components for the total project financing requirements for Project development and operations. KPMG Corporate Finance’s scope of work will be limited to the provision of advice, whilst the responsibility for management decisions rests with the management of TNG.

KPMG Corporate Finance has a dedicated mining corporate finance team that assists with global-scale projects like Mount Peake and has recent experience working on other large project financing deals with KfW, the Northern Australia Infrastructure Facility (“NAIF”) and export credit agencies.

______________

Debt Finance

During the period, TNG extended its mandate with Germany’s State-owned KfW, the Company’s exclusive senior debt advisor and arranger to lead a debt raise of up to US$600 million for the development and construction of the Mount Peake Project, to December 2021.

The Company also continued to advance discussions with KfW regarding project financing and structuring. TNG also furthered discussions with NAIF regarding their funding process, following the prior submission of a detailed proposal to NAIF.

Equity

The Company continued evaluating different options for equity financing during the period. However, the final equity requirement will only be determined following completion of the FEED study and confirmation of the level of debt funding available.

Hydrogen Production Technology

In September 2020, the Company entered into a strategic partner agreement with SMS group to develop a CO2neutral technology for the production of green hydrogen from various renewable, secondary or fossil hydrocarbon sources by means of plasma pyrolysis, utilising green electrical energy.

This technology, which consumes roughly one-third of the electricity required to produce the same amount of hydrogen by electrolysis of water, could be the preferred reduction agent for TNG’s TIVAN® Process, marking an important step in the Company’s roadmap towards achieving a net zero carbon footprint for TIVAN®.

Vanadium Redox Flow Battery (“VRFB”) Business Unit

In November 2020, the Company established a VRFB business unit via its green energy focused 100%-owned subsidiary, TNG Energy Pty Ltd, as part of its vertical integration strategy for the Mount Peake Project.

TNG’s aim is to produce its own vanadium electrolyte and become a commercial supplier of VRFB’s targeting greenhouse emission reductions, providing an economic alternative to conventional power generation for standalone off-grid power systems.

The Company subsequently appointed Australian renewable energy companies Generators and Off-Grid Energy to provide business development advice and juwi Renewable Energy to provide specialist technical advice.

OTHER PROJECTS

Kulgera Project (EL – 100% TNG)

During the reporting period, the Company was granted Exploration Licences for the Kulgera Project, a 1,231km[2] vanadium and titanium exploration project located along the South Australian border in the Northern Territory.

Future planned work programs at Kulgera will be focused on defining sources of concentrate that could be treated using TNG’s TIVAN® Process and conducting concentrate flowsheet refinement and TIVAN® testwork to determine the economics of extraction which could enhance the Mount Peake Project.

Moonlight Project (ELA – 100% TNG)

The Company has submitted Exploration Licence Applications for a vanadium exploration project at Moonlight, located 80km west of Daly Waters in the central Northern Territory. The project tenure has already been advertised by the Northern Territory Government and is now progressing through the normal grant process.

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.

_________________

1. Corporate Information

TNG Limited (the “Company”) is a for-profit company limited by shares, incorporated and domiciled in Australia, and whose shares are publicly traded.

The condensed consolidated interim financial report as at and for the half year ended 31 December 2020 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.

2. Basis of Preparation and Accounting Policies

Basis of preparation

The condensed consolidated interim financial statements for the half -year ended 31 December 2020 has been prepared in accordance with AASB134 Interim Financial Reporting and the Corporations Act 2001.

The condensed consolidated interim financial statements do not include all the information and disclosures required in the annual financial statements, and should be read in conjunction with the Group’s annual financial statements for the year ended 30 June 2020 which are available upon request from the Company’s Registered Office or at www.tngltd.com.au.

The Half-Year Financial Report was approved by the Board of Directors on 9 March 2021.

Significant accounting policies

The accounting policies adopted in the preparation of the condensed consolidated interim financial statements are consistent with those followed in the preparation of the Group’s annual financial statements for the year ended 30 June 2020.

3. Estimates

The preparation of the Half Year 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 2020.

Page 13

TNG Limited and Controlled Entities Notes to the consolidated financial statements

_________________

4. 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 cost saving measures to further reduce corporate and administrative costs.

5. 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.

6. Financial Assets and Financial Liabilities

Set out below is an overview of financial assets (other than cash and short-term deposits) and financial liabilities, held by the Group at 31 December 2020.

9. Leases

Lease liability is measured at amortised cost using the effective interest method. It is remeasured when there is a change in future lease payments arising from a change in an index or rate, if there is a change in the Group’s estimate and assessment of whether it will exercise a purchase, extension or termination option or there is a revised-in substance fixed lease payment.
