Our Vision
Developing the Mount Peake Vanadium-Titanium-Iron Project in the Northern Territory, one of Australia’s largest vanadium projects….
as the foundation for a potentially . world-class, vertically integrated ferrous metals business
==> picture [720 x 200] intentionally omitted <==
Location & Infrastructure
• Project advantageously located close to local infrastructure in the Northern Territory
-
Darwin to Alice Gas Pipeline
-
Stuart Highway

Vanadium-Titanium-Iron
-
JORC inferred resource: 140Mt @ 0.3% V205, 9% Ti02, 35% Fe
-
Exploration Target[1] : 500 – 700Mt (0.2% - 0.4% V205 and 25% - 35% Fe)
-
Commercial grade concentrate produced by coarse crush and LIMS
-
Concentrate upgrading: >1.2% V205, 18% Ti02, 55% Fe
-
Vertically integrated development capability with the ability to recover all three commodities at commercial grades
-
¹ The 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
Breakthrough technology
-
New revolutionary technology developed using hydrometallurgy to successfully extract vanadium, titanium and iron from titanomagnetite ores.
-
Joint international patent application lodged to protect revolutionary process developed jointly by TNG and METS
-
The combined process of acid leaching and solvent extraction enables +90% recovery of V2O5, Fe, TiO2
-
Cheaper OPEX and CAPEX compared to conventional pyrometallurgical process
-
Successful trials conducted on other titanomagnetite Australian vanadium deposits
-
Discussions underway with licencees
==> picture [720 x 127] intentionally omitted <==
Why Vanadium?
==> picture [139 x 55] intentionally omitted <==
- Primary use in steel production, batteries and motor vehicles
==> picture [185 x 141] intentionally omitted <==

-
Demand for Vanadium forecast to significantly increase with hi- technology advances including (battery cells), and steel production.
-
Vanadium prices on the rise…
-
V 0 2 5 - US$8 / llb and Ferro-vanadium – US$30 / lb
- ….and set to increase further
2011 Scoping Study
-
Independent Study by Snowden Mining Industry Consultants
-
Production commencing at 2Mtpa and ramping up after three years to 5Mtpa
-
Total Resource140Mt @ 0.33% V2O5, 6.05% TiO2, 25.39% Fe
-
Hydrometallurgical plant designed to produce vanadium pentoxide (V2O5), titanium dioxide (TiO2) and iron oxide (Fe2O3)
-
Initial plant total CAPEX estimated at $370M with a +-35% accuracy
-
Concentrate to be trucked to a conceptual railhead near Barrow Creek on the Alice Springs-Darwin railway line (70km) and then railed to Darwin (1,180km) for shipping
-
Potential to produce ferro-vanadium as a value-added downstream product currently under investigation
2011 Scoping Study – Key Findings
Mine Life: 23.63 years
Processing rate (life-of-mine):
5 Mt /annum
Life-of-mine production:
105,000 tonnes
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:
See Appendix 1
Nett Cash Flow[2]
$370.3M (for Stage 1 – 2Mtpa) Se $307.6M (for Stage 2 – 5Mtpa) $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$
2Nett 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.
2011 Ferro-vanadium – Scoping Study Findings
Mine Life:
Mine Life: 23.63 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.
