MOUNT PEAKE PROJECT – VANADIUM-TITANIUM-IRON (TNG: 100%)

PROJECT SUMMARY

The Mount Peake Project is the Company’s flagship project, comprising a world-scale critical and battery minerals deposit located 235km northwest of Alice Springs in the Northern Territory (NT). The Project is well located close to existing key power and transport infrastructure corridors including the Alice Springs-Darwin Railway and the Stuart Highway.

The Company’s strategy for the Mount Peake Project is to develop a fully-integrated single mining and processing operation to produce three highvalue, high-purity products for export – vanadium pentoxide (V2O5), titanium dioxide pigment (TiO2) and iron oxide (Fe2O3) – through the application of a world-first processing technology, known as the TIVAN® Process, which is owned exclusively by TNG.

Mount Peake is a shallow, flat-lying orebody with a JORC Measured, Indicated and Inferred Resource totalling 160 million tonnes grading 0.28% V2O5, 5.3% TiO2 and 23% Fe. The Mount Peake Project is one of the largest undeveloped vanadium-titaniumiron projects in the world.

PROJECT DELIVERY STRATEGY

TNG has executed a Heads of Agreement (“Agreement”) with Clough Projects Australia Pty Ltd (“Clough”) for the delivery of the Mount Peake Project. Under the Agreement, Clough has been appointed as TNG’s Lead Engineer and preferred Engineering, Procurement and Construction (“EPC”) Contractor for the delivery of the Project and will prepare a binding fixed-price, lump sum EPC proposal (“EPC Proposal”) for the Project, subject to completion of any works required and the procurement contracting model.

TNG and Clough are currently advancing discussions on any additional work that may be required to be undertaken by Clough to facilitate development of the EPC Proposal, with any such work to be confirmed under a separate services agreement including detailed scope, costs and scheduling.

The Company’s long-standing strategic engineering partner and metallurgical consultants SMS group (“SMS”) was previously contracted to deliver an EPC proposal but, due to disruptions caused by the COVID-19 pandemic, TNG reached agreement with SMS to engage with Australian-based engineering and construction companies for the delivery of the Mount Peake Project. SMS remains fully involved with confirmatory test and design work and Clough will continue to be supported by SMS.

PROJECT DEVELOPMENT

Engineering and Design Work

Following the completion of an integrated layout by Clough in November 2021, Clough has progressed engineering and design works for the Mount Peake Project and is progressing a revised cost estimate for the integrated operation.

The preparation of a revised cost estimate is still ongoing due to delays in sourcing market-based quotes caused by global disruption of supply chains due to the COVID-19 pandemic, higher energy costs (including from the impact of the Ukraine-Russia conflict), long lead times, logistical delays, higher labour costs due to workforce shortages and escalated costs of steel and concrete, which directly affect both equipment and construction costs. TNG is continuing to work closely with Clough to assess the potential impact of these factors on the cost estimate. Further updates will be given once TNG has more certainty as to the potential financial impact of those factors.

Clough will continue to identify any value engineering opportunities associated with optimising capital and operating expenditure for the streamlined operation while working closely with vendors for the equipment pricing. As part of the EPC Proposal, Clough will also have to take the above factors into account, including delays in sourcing the market-based quotes as part of their work to determine a fixed EPC price for delivery of the Project.

Non-Process Infrastructure (“NPI”)

The Company has advanced NPI items for tendering processes, which will include BOO (build, own, operate) and BOOT (build, own, operate, transfer) items, haul roads, borefields, accommodation, etc.

Water Bore Drilling Program

TNG completed a water bore drilling program at Mount Peake. The water bore drilling and evaluation program was undertaken to provide a sustainable water supply for the entire Mount Peake Project, with additional water resource information required for the groundwater modelling work being conducted by the Company’s appointed hydrological consultants, AQ2 Pty Ltd (“AQ2”).

Based on information obtained from this drilling, AQ2 will now update and expand the groundwater modelling that has been completed and provide a report to support a second Water Extraction Licence Application (“WELA”) from TNG, which will then provide sufficient, sustainable water resources for the entire planned mining and processing operation of the Mount Peake Project.

TNG currently has a WELA submitted to the Water Resources Division of the Northern Territory Government Department of Environment, Parks and Water Security (“DEPWS”).

Construction Planning

The Company has secured access to locally sourced calcrete close to Mount Peake which is expected to be used and included in the Company’s planned construction and in the upstream processing at Mount Peake, subject to all required permitting and regulations.

PERMITTING AND APPROVALS

Environmental Approvals

The Company and its environmental consultant, Animal Plant Mineral (“APM”), have completed all ground-based activities for the Environmental Impact Assessment (“EIA”) report for the integrated Mount Peake Project. Results are now being reviewed for preparation to be included in the final report for submission.

Native Title Agreement

During the period, the Company held meetings with the Central Land Council (“CLC”) representatives regarding updates to the current Indigenous Land Use Agreement (“ILUA”).

EXPLORATION

The Company secured $143,000 in co-funding under the Geophysics and Drilling Collaborations program, funded by the Resourcing the Territory initiative and administered by the Northern Territory Geological Survey.

The drilling program aims to obtain samples from the feeder zone and lower sections of the composite Mount Peake gabbro intrusive, to determine the potential for Ni-Cu, Cr and PGE mineralisation below the Mount Peake V- Ti Resource, which is scheduled to be undertaken in the second half of 2022.

PROJECT FINANCE

Debt Finance

Governmental Concessional Funding Applications

TNG received a conditional and non-binding Letter of Support from the Australian Government’s Export Credit Agency (“ECA”), Export Finance Australia (“EFA”), for up to A$300 million of debt funding for the Mount Peake Project.

The Mount Peake Project is one of only 15 Australian critical minerals projects identified by the Australian Government in its critical minerals priority road map. EFA’s non-binding Letter of Support notes the broad alignment of the Project with the Government’s Critical Mineral Strategy to diversify production of, and capture more value from, critical minerals supply.

EFA’s provision of debt funding of up to A$300 million is subject to customary due diligence process and successful outcome of several conditions. EFA’s non-binding Letter of Support does not constitute a commitment to provide finance and there is no certainty that an agreement will be reached between the parties.

The Company is now engaging with the EFA to progress the due diligence process and is advancing discussions with the Northern Australian Infrastructure Facility (“NAIF”) for a further funding package.

KfW IPEX-Bank (“KfW”) & KPMG Corporate Finance

Following the end of the quarter, the Company received Letters of Interest/Expressions of Interest from Federal Republic of Germany Export Credit Agency, Euler Hermes, and seven lenders active in Mining & Metals and ECA Finance.

Euler Hermes’ Letter of Interest to TNG includes indicative key terms based on German content from the involvement of the Company’s long-standing strategic engineering partner, the major German engineering firm, SMS Group, for German ECA financing of A$300 million.

TNG has mandated KfW as its senior debt advisor and arranger of a syndicate to raise a targeted amount of up to US$600 million to underpin the project financing package. The Euler Hermes amount of A$300 million is part of this with the remainder expected from the other seven financial institutions.

KPMG Corporate Finance and Germany’s KfW IPEX-Bank GmbH supported TNG to achieve these landmark financing milestones.

TNG is also working with its advisors and sustainability consultants to assist in ensuring that the full range of Environmental, Social and Governance (“ESG”) funding options are assessed, including green loan finance.

Build-own-operate-transfer funding (“BOOT”)

KPMG Corporate Finance has been assisting TNG with advice on potential structuring and commercial requirements for arrangements with potential BOOT/Build-Own-Operate (“BOO”) providers across the Project’s process and nonprocess infrastructure.

Equity

TNG and KPMG Corporate Finance continued to progress the strategy for equity financing for the Mount Peake Project, including both institutional investor and strategic equity streams.

PRODUCT PRICING DEVELOPMENT[1]

Titanium Dioxide Pigment – TiO2

TiO2 prices are expected to remain strong in North America, Europe and APA for the rest of the year due to low inventories as supply continues to remain tight amid a challenging global macroeconomic backdrop.

Operating rates are at maximum levels in North America and Asia Pacific, while Chinese producers are under pressure and Ukrainian plants are not producing significant volumes.

High energy prices, inflation and the Russia-Ukraine conflict are continuing to impact the pigment sector in Europe.

The TiO2 price increased in all regions compared to last quarter, up 2.6% in APA (APAC - excluding China), 7.6% in Europe and 5.5% in North America.

TNG expects to achieve a 3-5% premium on the market price as its product will be a high-durable pigment (Roskill – September 2020).

Vanadium Pentoxide – V2O5

Prices of vanadium pentoxide were stable during the quarter, with an average price of USD8.98 /lb V2O5 98%.

The ferrovanadium price increased slightly by 2.6%, with a quarterly average of USD11.00 /mt.

Chinese vanadium co-producers will restart operations after taking the opportunity to undertake maintenance during the COVID-19 lockdowns.

The Russia-Ukraine conflict continues to cause additional market volatility amid fears of supply shortages from Russian producer Evraz, in the wake of financial sanctions imposed on Russia by Western nations.

TNG expects to achieve a US$2.0/lb V2O5 premium on the market price for its product at 99.6% purity (Roskill – September 2020).
