on track to building a world class ferrous metals business
-
TNG forms strategic partnership with Jiangsu Eastern China Non-Ferrous Metal Investment Holding Co., Ltd (ECE).
-
$13.4m investment via binding Letter Of Intent by ECE to underpin development of Mt Peake Project.
-
Scoping Study Forecasts Nett Annual Cashflow of up to A$226M over 24 year Mine life.
-
Patented new Hydrometallurgical process TIVAN[TM] provides ability to recover 3 products, Iron-Vanadium and Titanium at lower CAPEX & OPEX.
-
Pre-Feasibility Study progressing on schedule and on budget
Location & Infrastructure
-

Exploration Targets
Mount Peake Licences
-
Exploration licence > 2000Km[2 ]
-
New targets give potential for 500-700Mt[1 ]
1The potential quantity and grade is conceptual in nature, that there has been insufficient exploration to define a Mineral Resource and that it is uncertain if further exploration will result in the determination of a Mineral Resources
Why STRATEGIC METALS? Vanadium

2011 Scoping Study – Key Findings
Mine Life:
24 years
Processing rate (life-of-mine): 5 Mt /annum
Life-of-mine production:
107.1 million tonnes
Process head grade:
Process head grade: 0.33% V2O5, 25.39% Fe, 6.04% TiO2 Total metal production: 349kt V2O5, 27,182kt Fe, 6,463kt TiO2
Total operating costs (excluding royalties): $46.6/tonne
Preliminary capital estimate: $370.3M (for Stage 1 – 2Mtpa) Se $307.6M (for Stage 2 – 5Mtpa) Nett Cash Flow[2] $148.37M / annum
Key assumptions of the Scoping Study included:
Operating costs and pit slope angles related to mining estimated to a Scoping Study level (±50%) Commodity pricing based on a previous 4 year average V2O5 price of US$8.00/lb TiO2 price of US$155.60/tonne Fe2O3 price of US$200/tonne Royalty rate of 2.5% per tonne of plant feed A$/US$ exchange rate of 0.85 US$ = 1A$ 2 capital, hedging, tax, depreciation, rehabilitation and salvage.
FeV Production –
a value add product
Mine Life:
24 years
Processing rate (life-of-mine): 2 Mt/annum
Total FeV metal production: 105,000 tonnes
Total operating costs (excluding royalties): $5.36/tonne Primary Capital Estimate[3] : $43.8M (for Stage 1-2Mtpa)
Nett Cash Flow[4] : $78M/annum
New Total Nett Cashflow[4] :
$226M/annum
Key assumptions of the Scoping Study included:
3 FeV plant capacity capital cost estimate supplied by Snowden and METS includes both direct and Indirect costs (at a Scoping Level Study of ±35%).
4 Nett Cashflow is defined as the average undiscounted cashflow per annum after all CAPEX (pre-strip CAPEX, initial CAPEX, and expansion CAPEX has been deducted), but ignores cost or source of capital, hedging, tax, depreciation, rehabilitation and salvage.
