Mineral Resources and Exploration Targets:

The Pre-Feasibility Study (PFS) is based on the updated Indicated and Inferred Resource for Mount Peake published on 12 October 2011 of 160Mt @ 0.3% V2O5, 5% TiO2 and 23% Fe (Indicated 110Mt @ 0.29% V2O5, 5.3% TiO2 and 23% Fe; Inferred 48Mt @ 0.24% V2O5, 4.5% TiO2 and 21% Fe). The Pre-Feasibility assumptions the financial model is based on mining 75.9 Mt of the 160 Mt Mineral Resource Of this amount 20.4% is from the Inferred Mineral Resource category. There is a low level of geological confidence associated with Inferred Mineral Resources and there is no certainty that further exploration work will result in the determination of Indicated Mineral Resources or that the production target itself will be realised.

In addition to this resource, TNG has published an Exploration Target of 500-700Mt grading 0.2-0.4% V2O5 and 25-35% Fe. The potential quantity and grade is conceptual in nature, 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 Resource.(refer ASX announcement 24/9/2013)

Pre-Feasibility Study:

Reference to the PFS is to the ASX announcement 9 July 2012, which was prepared based on the Company’s presently delineated mineral resource estimate. Any investment decision should be considered based on this information. Full details of the Mount Peake Pre-Feasibility Study are available in the Company’s ASX Announcements 9 July 2012 and 19 September 2013. Mining is based on the PFS financial analysis which includes 20.4% of Inferred Resource material (there is a low level of geological confidence associated with Inferred Mineral Resources and there is no certainty further exploration work will result in the determination of Indicated Mineral Resources or that the production target itself will be realised).

Key assumptions of 2012 PFS include:

  • Operating costs and pit slope angles related to mining estimated to a Pre-Feasibility Study level (±25%)

  • V2O5 price of US$20,305/tonne (> 90% grade)

  • TiO2 price of US$400/tonne (> 55% grade)

  • Fe2O3 price of US$200/tonne (> 69% grade)

  • Royalty rate of 2.5% per tonne of plant feed

  • Discount rate of 8%

  • AUD$/US$ exchange rate of 1 US$ = 1AUD$

Nett Annual Cash Flow:

Is defined as the average discounted cash flow 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.
