ASX RELEASE                                                                                               22 June 2009

 

 

POSITIVE METALLURGICAL OPTIMISATION TESTWORK - MOUNT PEAKE, NT

 

 

HIGHLIGHTS

 

         Ongoing Metallurgical test work has successfully improved the quality of the magnetic concentrate.

 

  • The vanadium grade was improved from a head grade of 0.5% V2O5 to 1.3% V2O5 with an average vanadium recovery of 86% in 40% of the mass.

 

  • The iron grade in the magnetic concentrate was upgraded from a head grade of 32% Fe up to a maximum of 66% Fe.

 

  • The titanium grade also showed an upgrade from a head grade of 9.4% TiO2 to 16% TiO2.   

 

  • Regrinding the magnetic concentrate to 45 micron successfully reduced the SiO2 and Al203 contaminants to an acceptable level for conventional vanadium processing.

 

  • Snowden Mining Industry Consultants are commencing an initial scoping study.

 

Australian resources company TNG Limited (ASX: TNG) is pleased to report further encouraging results from metallurgical results from the recently completed Reverse Circulation (RC) drilling program carried out at the Company?s 100%-owned Mount Peake Project in the Northern Territory.

 

TNG has previously reported a maiden JORC Inferred Resource of 107 Mt @ 0.32 % V2O5, 5.9 % TiO2, 29% Fe from its first round of Reverse Circulation drilling. A significant portion of the magnetic anomaly remains untested and when drilled is anticipated to increase this initial resource estimate.

 

Prior to further drilling TNG commissioned Mineral Engineering Technical Services Pty Ltd (?METS?) to design and manage the metallurgical testwork programme. METS has in-depth experience with vanadium deposits, particularly with Australian projects, and are well suited to evaluate the Mount Peake mineralisation.

 

Initial testwork reported previously, confirmed that a high-grade vanadium pentoxide (V2O5) concentrate can be produced from the Mount Peak mineralisation. Further test work aimed at optimising the grade and recovery, has successfully improved on the initial results by regrinding to 45 microns, as shown in Table 1 below.

 

This has also resulted in improving the grade and recovery of the Fe and Ti02 and successfully reduced the Si02 and Al203 components to acceptable commercial levels.

 

Further testwork is underway to study the amenability of the ore to alternative salt roasting and/or leach processes to further improve the vanadium recovery. This will be reported on completion.

 

TNG has commissioned METS to investigate the recovery of the Iron and Titanium as additional marketable products and results of this will be reported in due course.

 

 

Table 1: METS optimisation testwork results, Mount Peake RC drill material.

 

Following the positive results received from METS, TNG is pleased to advise that it has instructed Snowden Mining Industry Consultants to commence an initial Scoping Study on the Mount Peake Project. Although this will be undertaken based on the current Inferred Resource and initial metallurgical testwork results, it is considered an appropriate next step to progress the Project before committing to further exploration expenditure.

Further drilling at Mount Peake will commence in August as part of the previously reported NT Government funded drilling grant, awarded to TNG to identify if the Mount Peake intrusion is a large layered mafic system with massive sulphide potential.

Following completion of this programme, further drilling of extensions to the large magnetic anomaly that currently defines the Mount Peake Iron ? Vanadium ? Titanium mineralization will commence.

 

Yours faithfully

TNG LIMITED
