TNG Limited (ASX: TNG) provides the following update on its Mount Peake Vanadium-Iron-Titanium Project and other projects in the Northern Territory and WA.
TNG has been advised that Allmine Group Limited (“Allmine”), the parent company of Arccon (WA) Pty Ltd trading as Arccon Mining Services (“Arccon”), the Perth-based engineering contractor appointed earlier this year to manage the Mount Peake Definitive Feasibility Study (“DFS”), has appointed a voluntary administrator.
TNG understands that receivers and managers were subsequently appointed to Allmine and Arccon and that Arccon was placed into creditors‟ voluntary liquidation.
TNG has strong in-house capability to continue to progress the development of the Mount Peake Project cost effectively under its Project Director, Tony Hadley, and will advise the market of any changes to the timetable for completing the DFS as it progresses.
As reported on 29 May 2013, the Company has been making good progress with the DFS with positive results received from the first phase of metallurgical test work resulting in significant potential improvements to the economics of the project compared with the 2012 Pre-Feasibility Study.
TNG is also pleased to advise that the Notice of Intent (NOI) to the Northern Territory Government in relation to the development of Mount Peake is nearing completion for submission.
The Company is continuing to progress preliminary discussions with third parties regarding opportunities to secure external funding to complete the DFS as well as to potentially contribute a proportion of development expenditure for the Mount Peake Project.
Further announcements will be made if agreements are reached on any of these matters.
Also, TNG reported on 15 May 2013 that it remained in discussions with Ao-Zhong, one of its major Chinese shareholders, in relation to a further potential placement, subject to certain terms and conditions to be agreed. TNG advises that those discussions have now ceased and the potential placement to Ao-Zhong will not be proceeding at this stage.
Manbarrum Zinc Project
TNG has been advised by its joint venture partner at the Manbarrum Zinc Project in WA, KBL Mining Limited, that KBL has decided to withdraw from the farm-in Joint Venture Agreement covering the Project due to KBL‟s limited professional and financial resources.

==> picture [176 x 29] intentionally omitted <==
As a result, TNG will retain 100 per cent ownership of this extensive Project. However, the final $2 million bullet payment due by December 2013 to enable KBL to complete its 51% earn-in will not be received. TNG had previously received an initial cash payment of $0.5 million after the agreement was signed in 2011.
TNG believes that the Manbarrum Zinc Project remains a significant strategic base metal asset in a highly prospective region. The Project currently comprises two deposits totalling 45Mt of combined zinc-lead-silver mineralisation plus numerous untested exploration prospects.
Sandy Creek Total Resource 24.4 Mt @ 1.81% Zn, 0.45% Pb, and 4.6 g/t Ag Indicated 13.1 Mt @ 2.03% Zn, 0.48% Pb, and 4.7 g/t Ag Inferred 11.3 Mt @ 1.51% Zn, 0.23% Pb, and 4.3 g/t Ag Djibitgun Inferred Resource 19.9 Mt @ 0.52% Zn, 0.18% Pb and 16.4 g/t Ag
(See ASX Releases 15[th] March 2010 and 31[st] March 2008)
The Company will continue to assess other opportunities to realise value from this non-core asset within TNG‟s extensive minerals portfolio in northern and central Australia.
Sandover and Walabanba Projects
The Company advises that initial exploration activities have been completed on these projects. At Sandover, where initial ground reconnaissance was conducted on one tenement, moderate copper anomalism was noted in a structurally complex area. A total of 165 rock samples were collected in June and submitted for multi-element and gold assay.
At Walabanba, a copper anomaly in laterite which is coincident with an anomalous electro-magnetic conductor, has been outlined over an area of 1,000m x 200m in pXRF sampling. In order to confirm this zone, a total of 11 rock samples were collected and submitted for multi-element and gold assay in mid-June.
In addition, all of the HELITEM anomalies outlined from the survey in mid-2012 have now been ground checked and a program of ground EM is being planned.
Laboratory results from rock samples, to confirm the pXRF data, are expected during the next Quarter.
