Titano-Magnetite Ore Bodies KEY STRATEGIC ADVANTAGES
==> picture [5 x 5] intentionally omitted <==
-
Abundant: many known, accessible and easy-tomine deposits
-
Ilmenite shortage: high-grade ilmenites, suitable for synthetic rutile production are becoming scarce
-
Growing vanadium demand : urbanisation in fastgrowing emerging markets calls for the construction of high rises, requiring large quantities of vanadium-reinforced rebar
-
Potential for additional products : the hydrometallurgical processing of titano-magnetite also allows for the extraction of other valuable fractions, such as scandium, high-purity silicon and MgO

Mount Peake Mine Site PLANNING FOR THE 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
Magnetite 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

Mount Peake Downstream Processing
TIVAN[®] Chemical Process
TNG DEVELOPED AND PATENTED PROCESSING TECHNOLOGY
-
Conventional means of extracting vanadium from titano-magnetite 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 to extract vanadium as V2O5, and commercially recover titanium dioxide and iron
