About TNG
TNG is a Perth based resource and mineral processing technology company focussing on building a world-scale strategic metals business based on its flagship 100%-owned Mount Peake Vanadium-Titanium-Iron Project in the Northern Territory. Located 235km north of Alice Springs, Mount Peake will be a long-life project producing a suite of high-quality, high-purity strategic products for global markets including vanadium pentoxide, titanium dioxide pigment and iron ore fines. The project, which is expected to be a top-10 global producer, has received Major Project Status from the Northern Territory and Federal Governments.
TNG is also advancing a green energy strategy with the dual objective of offsetting carbon emissions from its planned future operations and generating new business opportunities in the alternative energy market to create additional shareholder value, with a focus on green hydrogen and vanadium redox flow batteries.

Initial mining and financial assessment work, based on the Mineral Resource, followed (see ASX Announcement - 15 July 2013, “TNG Considers Two-Stage Development Option for Mount Peake Project, NT ”, www.tngltd.com.au and www.asx.com.au).

The Critical Minerals Sector

==> picture [36 x 45] intentionally omitted <==
The Critical Minerals sector is getting an extraordinary level of support from government and interest from financiers and investors due to the long term energy transition thematic
Vanadium and Titanium have been identified by the Australian Government as critical minerals required to make advanced technologies that will support the global push for decarbonisation
Vanadium is known as “ The Green Metal ” and is a significant area of focus in the Critical Minerals investment theme due to its green credentials
However, Vanadium also has significant defence applications, most importantly in the military aerospace sector. It is irreplaceable in these uses
Current geopolitical issues are creating supply concerns for this highly important mineral. Russia is a major producer (and is also a major producer of titanium)
All of these is creating a environment which is highly supportive of new project development

Notes:
The TNG numbers are based on the most recently information provided by SMS. The pyrometallurgy number relies on the feed concentrate having the same composition as the TNG concentrate. This is required for this kind of comparison. Product price assumptions as at 31 March 2022: US$26,808/tonne for V2O5 (US$12.16/lb), US$3,600.00/t TiO2 pigment and US$135.00/tonne for high grade Fe2O3

Current Vanadium Market Dynamics
LONG TERM DEMAND; MEDIUM TERM STRATEGIC SECURITY
➢ Vanadium is GREEN!
==> picture [183 x 124] intentionally omitted <==
-
Strengthening steel; so
-
less steel needs to be used; which means
-
greater efficiency in use of scarce natural resources; and
-
steel production itself is emissions intensive so less steel used = less emissions = good
➢ Vanadium is also MAGIC!
-
4 different oxidation states (V[2+] , V[3+] , V[4+] , V[5+] )
-
other green use is redox batteries – highest quality v needed; this is a large area of growth (see next slides)
➢ Vanadium’s other important use area is in Defence
-
Previously used in Tank armour; but no so much these days
-
Currently IRREPLACABLE in high performance titanium vanadium alloys for aerospace applications
-
think fighter jet air frames and missiles.
-
Important in civilian aviation too
-
This is why US has designated Vanadium a strategic metal since the cold war and keeps a strategic stockpile of it
-
The US is a net importer of V
SUPPLY
-
➢ Largest global supplier of Vanadium are: • China
-
Russia
-
➢ Not ideal from a strategic security of supply situation
-
Australia – low political risk jurisdiction – strong global ally – significant vanadium reserves but negligible current production
Note: Russia also a large supplier of titanium
SO WHAT??
-
➢ Sanctions on Russia are likely not going anywhere soon….
-
➢ “Critical Minerals” sector has already seen massive industry tailwinds due to the macro decarbonisation / energy transition thematic – Vanadium benefits from this
-
➢ Additional security of supply issues for V
-
➢ Strong support for new western V projects to get up
-
➢ Significant area of focus for western governments – Strategic alliance between Australia and Korea on Critical Minerals, similar with USA
-
Security of supply from like minded nations
V O 2 5 for Vanadium Redox Flow Battery (VRFB)
- ✓ VRFB requires the highest V purity which can only be produced from the Primary Mine Output, with 20,434mt produced in 2020
Historical and outlook for VRFB installations, 2010-2030 (GWh)
-
✓ TNG plans to produce high purity V2O5 (99.6%)
-
✓ V constitutes 30-50% of the cost of VRFB
-
✓ Average estimated for 1kWh (April 2022): 9kg V2O5 or 5.040kg V making 55L VE (1MWh needs approximately 55,000 litres VE)
Historical and outlook for vanadium demand from VRFBs, 2010-2030
-
✓ 1 kg of V2O5 will produce approximately 6 litres of VE with approximately 2 mol/litre of V
-
✓ In 2030, the use of V2O5 for VRB will represent 10% of global use compared to 1% today
