Management Comment
TNG’s Managing Director, Mr Paul Burton, said the granting of the Mount Peake Access Authorities represented another important permitting milestone which provided further security of tenure for the Company. "We are rapidly ticking off the boxes towards the Mount Peake development, with key announcements over the past few months including the signing of a Native Title Mining Agreement, the signing of a binding term sheet for our titanium off-take production and the recent award of the Mount Peake Mineral Leases by the NT Government,” he said.
“With these important milestones now complete, we can now focus our attention squarely on moving ahead with project financing negotiations,” Mr Burton added.
