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 north-west 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 high-value, 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-titanium-iron projects in the world.

PROJECT EXECUTION STRATEGY

Following meetings with SMS group (“SMS”) in Germany, a revised Project Execution Strategy for the delivery of the Mount Peake Project was agreed by TNG and SMS in March.

Under the revised model, SMS will provide a commercial and technical proposal for engineering and procurement for the delivery of the TIVAN® Processing Facility (“TPF”) at the Mount Peake mine site (“Mine Site”). TNG will have the flexibility to appoint Australian-based engineering and construction companies for the delivery of the Mine Site Beneficiation Plant, Titanium Pigment Plant and Non-Process Infrastructure, as well as for the construction of the TPF and associated infrastructure.

The revised Project Execution Strategy optimises TNG’s approach to delivering the Mount Peake Project, taking into consideration recent changes in global conditions, supply chain management, logistics and cost inflation.

SMS will work closely with TNG and its nominated contractors to provide any necessary processing, engineering and technical validation work as required for the TPF and execution planning. SMS will provide product and process guarantees upon a Final Investment Decision (subject to internal controls at SMS).

TNG will progress “Build Own Operate” and “Build Own Operate Transfer” options to further reduce capital expenditure.

It is expected that the revised Project Execution Model will optimise the development process, providing flexibility and potential commercial benefits for TNG and its shareholders.

PROJECT DEVELOPMENT

Value Engineering and Technical Optimisations

Clough Projects Australia Pty Ltd (“Clough”) continues to advance the design and value engineering works for the Mount Peake Project, which comprises the Beneficiation Plant, TPF (including a Pigment Plant) and plant utilities located within the Mining Lease footprint at the Mine Site.

This phase of works follows the completion of an integrated layout by Clough, which was based on the deliverables prepared under the Front-End Engineering and Design (“FEED”) study completed by SMS. This is progressing on schedule and is expected to be completed by Clough by May 2022 and the Company is in discussion regarding a potential Engineering Procurement Construction (“EPC”) contract for project delivery.

In parallel to the current engineering and design work, the Company continues to undertake a technical and commercial assessment of all plant areas and includes validation test work of critical areas and in addition the use of hydrogen to reduce the Project’s overall net carbon footprint.

Non-Process Infrastructure (“NPI”)

The integrated mining and processing operation at the Mine Site has provided the opportunity for consolidation of a number of infrastructure items including power generation, gas supply and communications installations.

Water Bore Drilling Program

Subsequent to quarter-end, TNG commenced a new water bore drilling and evaluation program on the aquifer located at the Mount Peake Project to provide additional information required for the groundwater modelling work being conducted by TNG’s appointed hydrological consultants, AQ2 Pty Ltd.

This work will support an additional Water Extraction Licence Application to provide process water required for the mineral processing at the Mine Site and the Environmental Impact Assessment report.

PERMITTING AND APPROVALS

Environmental Approvals

TNG’s environmental consultant, Animal Plant Mineral (“APM”), has been mandated to progress the environmental assessment for the Mount Peake integrated Project.

APM are progressing a number of technical studies, including Biological Surveys, Groundwater and Surface Water Assessments, Air Quality Assessment, the Greenhouse Gas Assessment and Management Plan, Noise Impact Assessment, Waste Characterisation and Landform Design, Traffic Impact Assessment, Stakeholder Engagement Strategy and Mine Closure Plan.

==> picture [461 x 20] intentionally omitted <==

==> picture [83 x 20] intentionally omitted <==

The Company expects this work to be completed during the June 2022 quarter and submit a revised environmental impact report to the Northern Territory Environment Protection Authority (“NT EPA”) for approval by the September 2022 quarter.

Mount Peake Mining Management Plan (“MMP”)

The Company continues to liaise with the NT Government’s Department of Industry, Tourism and Trade on any further requirements for the MMP due to the consolidation of the Project.

Native Title Agreement

TNG progressed discussions with the Central Land Council (“CLC”) representatives regarding future meetings and engagements with the native title holders.

An Indigenous Land Use Agreement is in place between TNG, the CLC and the Eynewantheyne Aboriginal Corporation RNTBC ICN 7947 (Native Title Party) (“Agreement”)[1] and the Company is currently liaising with the CLC on any additions required to the existing Agreement.

PROJECT FINANCE

Debt Finance

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

The Company held discussions with representatives of Germany’s KfW IPEX-Bank GmbH (“KfW”), TNG’s mandated exclusive senior debt advisor and arranger for the Project, on the revised Project Execution Strategy. KfW has indicated its support and reaffirmed its commitment to progressing the debt financing process for the Mount Peake Project on this basis.

The KPMG Corporate Finance team continued to provide advice to assist TNG on the execution of the debt funding process, including due diligence processes, and is working closely with KfW in this regard.

Governmental Concessional Funding Applications

TNG progressed its application and meetings with the Northern Australian Infrastructure Facility (“NAIF”) and the Export Finance Australia (“EFA”) including the Australian Government’s $2 billion Critical Minerals Facility for financing support. EFA provides financial solutions to support Australian exporters, including loans, guarantees, bonds and insurance, and manages the Critical Minerals Facility. This process has involved the Federal Government Major Project Facilitation Office, the Federal Government Critical Minerals Facilitation Office and the Northern Territory Major Projects team.

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

During the quarter, the Company engaged with potential BOOT/Build-Own-Operate (“BOO”) providers across the Project’s process and non-process infrastructure. KPMG Corporate Finance has been assisting TNG by providing advice on potential structuring and commercial requirements for such arrangements.

Equity

During the quarter, TNG and KPMG Corporate Finance progressed its strategy for equity financing for the Mount Peake Project, including both institutional investor and strategic equity streams.

PRODUCT PRICING DEVELOPMENT[2]

Titanium Dioxide Pigment – TiO2

The impact of the Ukrainian war on Europe's titanium dioxide pigment industry is slowly evolving, as a combination of immediate supply problems and an inflating cost base add support for further price increases. Ukraine accounts for around 6% of global ilmenite supply (sulphate and chloride).

Global logistics issues continue to affect all producers and feedstock availability has been a constraint for certain plants during the first half of 2022. The utilisation of existing plant capacity was very high (above 95%) and the current inventories are very low (below 30 days).

==> picture [461 x 20] intentionally omitted <==

==> picture [83 x 20] intentionally omitted <==

The upward momentum in TiO2 prices that began in 2021 continued in the March 2022 quarter and is expected to continue at least throughout this calendar year.

The TiO2 price increased in all regions compared to last quarter, up 3.1% in China, 10.9% in APAC (excluding China), 6.1% in Europe and 4.7% in North America.

TNG expects to achieve a 3-5% premium on the market price as its product will be a high-durable pigment.

Vanadium Pentoxide – V2O5

During the quarter, prices of vanadium pentoxide and ferrovanadium increased sharply. The ferrovanadium price has almost doubled since the beginning of the year, reaching US$62/kg V Rotterdam in March 2022. The price of vanadium pentoxide (98%), in-warehouse Rotterdam, was US$12.16/lb and US$10.31/lb in China.

Supply was already tight as several Chinese vanadium co-producers paused operations to undertake maintenance.

However, the Russia-Ukraine conflict has caused additional market volatility amid fears of supply shortages from Russian producer Evraz. Evraz reported that it has been experiencing “frictions” in terms of supply, logistics and financial flows 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).

Iron Ore Fines

The seaborne iron ore price continued to rise during the quarter, mainly in March 2022 on the back of a bullish run in the futures and swaps markets mainly due to supply issues as a result of the Russia-Ukraine conflict.

TNG expects to add a US$5.90/mt premium on top of that for its product at 64.4% (Roskill).

TNG ALTERNATIVE ENERGY

GREEN HYDROGEN PRODUCTION TECHNOLOGY

TNG and Malaysian-based energy group AGV Energy & Technology (“AGV”) continued to progress a commercial study for an initial HySustain green hydrogen technology project in Darwin in the Northern Territory (“HySustain Darwin”) during the quarter, with the parties strategically evaluating the project development concept and scoping its preliminary commercial and technical viability. The joint venture is also preparing a development strategy as part of this study for the next phase of development for HySustain Darwin.

During the period, following a formal request by TNG, the Northern Territory Government reserved a site in Darwin Port’s Middle Arm for the HySustain Darwin Project ahead of the application and lease negotiations.

The reserved site is the previous site proposed to be used for the Mount Peake Project downstream processing facility. TNG previously completed an extensive body of work for this site for Mount Peake, which will significantly benefit planning for HySustain Darwin.

The joint venture has also initiated early engagement with potential off-takers in Asia and prospective financiers on the main future project financing requirements.

VANADIUM ENERGY PROJECT – VANADIUM ELECTROLYTE & BATTERIES

Technology and Process Design Study

During the quarter, TNG completed a review of a technology and process design study for the development of a production facility to produce high-purity vanadium electrolyte (“VE”) for the Vanadium Redox Flow Battery (“VRFB”) market (“VE Study”). The key outcomes and findings of the VE Study identified:

  • The preferred form of vanadium pentoxide as the preferred feedstock for the process, this is planned to be derived from vanadium pentoxide flake (the vanadium product planned to be produced at Mount Peake);

  • Preferred process options, with process flowsheets, descriptions and design criteria, and a mass balance, developed for each option; and

  • Darwin as the indicative location of the facility with existing ready access to all necessary infrastructure; the next phase of work will also consider the option of a Mount Peake based VE production facility as part of the consolidated mining and processing operation.

Following the successful completion of the VE Study, the Company is also now evaluating the use of VRFBs at its Mount Peake operation and incorporating these into the current non-process infrastructure design and energy supply mix to help further reduce the Project’s carbon footprint.

OTHER PROJECTS

SPRING CREEK (EL – 100% TNG)

During the period, the Company was granted an Exploration Licence for the highly prospective copper-focused Spring Creek Project in South Australia. The Exploration Licence covers known stratigraphic copper mineralisation but has had no substantial exploration since 1970. Stratigraphic copper deposits tend to be large and high grade.

The Company plans to commence a limited field program of geological mapping, soil sampling, geophysics and, potentially, drilling following permitting and approvals.

KULGERA PROJECT (EL – 100% TNG)

The Company has two granted Exploration Licences (“EL”) for the Kulgera Project, a 1,2 1km[2] vanadium and titanium exploration project located along the South Australian border in the Northern Territory.

The Kulgera Project comprises a large accumulation of magnetite/ilmenite heavy mineral concentrate. The Company is evaluating if this heavy fraction can be treated using its proprietary TIVAN® process, to extract value from both the vanadium and titanium content.

A range of chemical and mineralogical analyses are being undertaken on the 2021 sampling. Assessment is ongoing with further testwork planned.

MOONLIGHT PROJECT (EL – 100% TNG)

The Company has Exploration Licences at Moonlight, located 80km west of Daly Waters in the central Northern Territory where Vanadium occurrences are recorded. No field activity was undertaken during the quarter but the Company aim to establish if these will provide additional vanadium reserves.

CAWSE EXTENDED MINE PROJECT: NICKEL-COBALT (80%: MESMERIC/20%: TNG)

The Company has a 20% free-carried interest in the Cawse Extended Mining Lease. Joint venture partner, Mesmeric Enterprises, had previously completed necessary rehabilitation works. The Company awaits further work programme results from Mesmeric.
