MINING AND BENEFICIATION
Mine Plan
PLANNED CONVENTIONAL OPEN PIT OPERATION
-
Mining will be undertaken via a conventional open pit operation (drill and blast, and load and haul with excavators and haul trucks)
-
Mine schedule includes the Probable Reserve (Y1 to Y8), and Measured Resource (34mt) and Indicated Resource (6mt) Y9 to Y17
-
LoM plant feed material is estimated to be 81mt at an average grade of 0.37% V2O5, 6.87% TiO2 and 26.38% Fe
-
The strip ratio is 0.9:1 (waste: ore)
-
The large size of the orebody (circa 2,000m x 350m x 100m) and gradual grade boundaries allows for a low dilution factor to be applied
==> picture [418 x 378] intentionally omitted <==
Proposed mining layout including open pit, ROM pad, waste dump and ore stockpiles
Refer ASX Announcement dated 20 November 2017
Beneficiation
MAGNETITE CONCENTRATOR
Ore concentration
-
Mine site concentrator to produce a magnetite concentrate
-
To utilise equipment that is proven in the application and provides flexibility in design to allow for plant expansion
-
Extensive metallurgical testwork has been completed to optimise the flowsheet and ensure the magnetite concentrate meets the specifications of the downstream refinery
Concentrate Logistics
-
900kt of concentrate planned to be produced per annum (Y1 to Y4), eventually expanding to 1,800ktpa (Y5 to Y17) under the stage 2 upgrade
-
The magnetite concentrate to be trucked on a haul road to a purpose built rail siding and loading facility on the Alice Springs-Darwin Railway
-
The concentrate then to be sent by rail 1,400km north to the project’s proposed Darwin based refinery
-
A purpose built rail siding and unloading facility to be used to unload and stockpile concentrate at the refinery, ready for further processing
==> picture [450 x 354] intentionally omitted <==
VALUE ADD PROCESSING
Downstream Processing
TIVAN[®] PROCESS
TNG developed and patented processing technology.
-
Conventional means of extracting vanadium from titanomagnetite ore is through a salt roasting, energy intensive, pyrometallurgical process
-
Conventional processing unable to commercially extract all three elements
-
TNG and its technical advisers, METS, CSIRO and SMS group, have developed the world first TIVAN® process to overcome these limitations
-
TIVAN[®] utilises a combination of pyro and hydrometallurgical processes already in use in mining operations, to extract vanadium as V2O5, and commercially recover titanium dioxide and iron oxide
-
SMS group to provide a process and product guarantee following the FEED

TNG PRODUCTS Markets and Commercial Agreements Overview
Mount Peake TIVAN Products
POLYMETALLIC MIX FROM SINGLE RESOURCE
Vanadium Pentoxide (V2O5) World demand 160,000tpa (equivalent of 90,000tpa V units) Main usage Steel, superalloys, chemicals, catalysts and energy storage (VRB)
Titanium dioxide pigment (TiO2) World demand 6,500,000tpa Main usage Paint, plastics, paper and inks Iron oxide pellets (Fe2O3) World demand 104 million tpa (seaborne pellet market) Main usage Steelmaking
VANADIUM PENTOXIDE Markets and Commercial Agreements Overview
Vanadium Pentoxide
OVERVIEW
-
Vanadium is mainly mined in China, Russia, South Africa and Brazil;
-
About 80% of the commercial vanadium is produced through co-production (smelting high V bearing slag), 12% through processing of primary ore and the remaining recovered from secondary production (oil residues, catalysts, stone coal);
-
Over 90% of vanadium is used in the steel industry (strengthening agent). Recent regulations in China have been the main driver for a surge in demand;
-
Demand in new markets such as supper alloys and flow batteries is still small but set to grow rapidly;
==> picture [399 x 217] intentionally omitted <==
-
The current low stocks level, rapid demand increase and supply constraints have all contributed to a spectacular price rise (+500%) over the past 2 years;
-
Global demand is estimated to be 90,000tpa V or 160,000tpa V2O5 equivalent. TNG’s production of 11,000tpa V2O5 will represent 6.8% of the world’s demand.
Vanadium Redox Flow Batteries
THE FUTURE OF ENERGY STORAGE
MARKET FORECAST – DEVELOPMENT OF POWER ON THE ENERGY STORAGE MARKET
-
Industry CAGR 2015-2020: 30.8%
-
Stronger growth in utility scale from 2018 onwards - US$6 b market opportunity in 2020
-
TNG has successfully produced high purity, commercial-grade, Vanadium Electrolyte from Mount Peake’s V2O5 and is ideally placed to supply global VRB manufacturers

TNG Product - V O 2 5 A FULLY INTEGRATED PRODUCER FROM MINE TO FINISHED PRODUCT
-
Very high purity V2O5 will enable TNG to supply the steel industry as well as higher value niche markets such as Vanadium Redox Flow Batteries
-
The vanadium industry is currently at a high point in its cycle and expected to remain very strong for the coming years. TNG’s timing to market is ideal
-
Binding Life-of-Mine (LOM) Off-take Agreement with Woojin (Korea) for a minimum of 60% of TNG’s production. Woojin is the second largest FerroVanadium exporter in Asia with a V2O5 processing capacity of 22,000tpa and has a market share of 80%+ in its home market Korea. Recent US tariffs imposed on Korea have restricted Woojin’s business in North America which they seek to regain with TNG’s product.
-
Technology Transfer agreement with Woojin for V2O5 to FeV conversion plant
-
Negotiations underway for up to 40% offtake with leading vanadium buyers and distributors.

TITANIUM PIGMENT Markets and Commercial Agreements Overview
Titanium Dioxide Pigment
OVERVIEW
-
Titanium dioxide (TiO2) is the most used white pigment globally
-
The most important properties of TiO2 pigment are optical such as opacity, brightness, gloss, weather resistance and durability;
-
Pure TiO 2 is produced by sulfate (SP) or chloride (CP) process, then milled and surface
-
treated to make pigment (containing 80-98% TiO2);
-
Historically not much vertical integration within the industry – producers are usually either upstream (feedstock) or downstream (pigment);
-
TiO 2 pigment is non-toxic and environmentally friendly;
-
Titanium dioxide market was worth around US$20bn in 2018;
-
About 60% of the titanium dioxide is used in coatings market (paints, coatings, inks and enamels);
-
China and APAC markets are the main growth regions;
-
During the 2015-2025 period, global demand is forecast to grow at 4.1% CAGR to 8.825m tones in 2025.

IRON OXIDE Markets and Commercial Agreements Overview
TNG Product: Fe O 2 3
A FULLY INTEGRATED FINES PRODUCER FROM MINE TO FINISHED PRODUCT
==> picture [81 x 85] intentionally omitted <==
-
Global demand for iron ore is estimated at 2btpa, almost entirely for the steel industry
-
High purity hematite with Fe content over 64.4% will command a strong premium over the benchmark 62% grade;
-
TNG’s ability to pelletize its product also has the potential to further the improve the margin for its iron product (current premium of US$50+/t);
-
Significant and fast growing demand in neighbouring Malaysia and Indonesia should easily absorb TNG’s production and reduce logistical costs;
-
