Bering Coal Basin: Amaam and Amaam North, Chukotka, Far East Russia

The Bering Coal Basin consists of two Licences. Amaam North (including Project F) and Amaam, collectively the “Amaam Coal Project”. The Amaam Coal Project is located in the Beringovsky Basin, in the Chukotka Autonomous Okrug (“CAO”) in the Russian Far East, some 40km to the south of recent coal mining operations of Nagornaya and its supporting town of Beringovsky. The Amaam North and Amaam deposits are located within separate structural blocks of the Bering Coal Basin. The Bering Coal Basin covers an area of approximately 7,500km² and extends from north of Beringovsky (Nargornaya mine) to the southern coast line. The primary coal host sequences at Amaam North and Amaam are the Middle Chukchi Formation of Palaeogene Age and the Koryak Formation of Cretaceous Age.

The Amaam Coal Project has combined resources of 632Mt with excellent potential exploration upside, as outlined below:

Amaam Project Development Strategy

TIG’s strategy is to become a significant supplier of up to 10 Mtpa of Coking Coal to the seaborne market through the development of the Amaam Project in three Stages:

Stage 1 has commenced and comprises the development of Project F in two phases, to a +1.0 Mtpa semi-hard coking coal operation, seaborne sales shipped from the Company owned Beringovsky Port.

Phase One: up to 0.6 Mtpa utilising existing infrastructure and mining fleet;
Phase Two: up to 1.0+ Mtpa after the construction of a coal handling and processing plant (“CHPP”), in addition to infrastructure, port and mining fleet upgrades.

Stage 2 is based on production increases from Project F and Amaam North; and

Stage 3 sees the development of Amaam to full capacity and the establishment of a transportation corridor to a year-round port at Arinay Lagoon

Amaam North: Project F

TIG owns an 100% interest in Exploration Licence No. AND01203 TP (Levoberezhniy Licence) and the Exploration and Extraction (Mining) Licence, No. AND 15813 TE, covering the initial Project F mine development area.

The coal formation at Amaam North is synclinal in structure with longitudinal and cross cutting faults, and shallow to moderate dips. TIG has estimated an Exploration Target of up to 370 Mt and has completed drilling programs which have a delineated JORC Resource at Project F, of 110.6 Mt. The Resource includes 22 Mt of Measured (16 Mt of which is classified as Reserves, including 5.5 Mt thermal coal), 55.7 Mt of Indicated (coking) and 32.9 Mt of Inferred.

A Feasibility Study was initially completed in October 2014. After further drilling defined a substantive increase in the Resource, the Feasibility Study was updated and the results released in April 2016. The Feasibility Study demonstrated Project F as having potentially very attractive economics as an early starter, low capex, low opex project.

Project F – Feasibility Study Update Highlights:

Potential doubling of mine life to 20 years
Estimated 4.9:1 waste to marketable coal stripping ratio
Expansion potential due to:
- Larger open pit with an additional 30 Mt due to unit operating cost reductions with increased scale, and/or
- Underground mining of Seam 4

Project F key cost advantages

Low stripping ratio compared to competitors
Short overland transport
TIG owned port eliminates third party charges
Estimated site operating costs indicate Project F as being potentially one of the world’s lowest cost coking coal producers

Project F Development Strategy

1 Mtpa Base Case is a low risk “intermediate” stage.
All 1 Mtpa infrastructure is scalable facilitating easy, low marginal cost of future expansion.
2 Mtpa is a realistic high value objective achievable through TIG’s Beringovsky Port

Project F Product Coal Highlights:

Semi Hard Coking Coal (SHCC)

Approximately 90% of total project revenue in 1.0 Mtpa Base Case
The coking product is based on a blend of raw and washed Seam 4 coal with washed lower seam (Seams 1-3) coal
The quality is similar to some well known and utilised Queensland SHCC (Blackwater, Dawson Semi-hard, Cook, Poitrel)
Additional selling points are very low sulphur and phosphorus
Will be marketed as a blending coal

Thermal Coal

Predominant source of income in Phase One until the completion of the mine & logistics upgrade (including the construction of a CHPP.Two general types:

- High CV Seam 4
- Lower CV Seams 1 to 3

Saleable products to be blended depending on customer requirements

Beringovsky Port

An integral part of the Amaam North logistics chain is the TIG owned Beringovsky Port and Coal Terminal located 35km to the north east of the Amaam North deposit and the Project F mine.

The port is fully operational and has historically handled up to 700,000 tonnes of coal per year from the Nagornaya mine and the port will be progressively refurbished and expanded over time to expand capacity to +1Mtpa.

Amaam Tenement

TIG owns an 80% interest in Exploration Licence No. AND 01277 TP (formerly AND 13867 TP) (Zapadniy Subsoil Licence) and the Exploration and Extraction (Mining) Licence No. AND 01278 TE (formerly AND 01225 TE).

The project area is 30km from the Bering Sea coast. TIG currently holds an 80% interest in the Amaam Tenement. The Amaam tenement is a multi-seam, moderate dipping deposit within a synclinal basin. Coal is in the Middle Chukchi formation (see Amaam Project Plan below), and is divided into four main areas by north-west trending faults. To date, exploration activities have identified that the highest tonnages of coal are within Areas 3 and 4.

TIG’s Resource consultant, Resolve Geo Pty Ltd, in the most recent resource estimate, has estimated a total of 521 Mt of Coal Resources at Amaam. The Resources include 3.1 Mt of Measured Resources, 91 Mt of Indicated Resources and 428 Mt of Inferred Resources (JORC 2012). In Area 3, the key area targeted for initial production, total resources increased to 190 Mt with Indicated Resources of 48 Mt and a Measured Resource of 1.1 Mt.

Of the total Resource at Amaam, 425 Mt is in the open pit domain i.e. Resources less than 400m from surface. Between 400m and 800m, the Inferred and Indicated Resource totals 93 Mt, providing very good potential for future underground operations. Underground Resources are limited to seams thicker than 1.2m. This Resource Estimate uses an additional 9,011m of drilling (figure 1) compared to the Resource Estimate reported in February 2014, predominantly in Area 2, the South of Area 4 and in the western extents of Area 4 and Area 3. Resources have been re-estimated for all areas.

Amaam Product Coal

Preliminary analysis of material sourced from Area 3 of the Amaam deposit indicate that the raw coal is described as ASTM rank medium to high volatile coal with an average ash content of approximately 30%. Following a conventional wash process, Amaam coal is expected to exhibit excellent coking qualities with high CSN, high vitrinite and strong fluidity.

Table 5 – Amaam Resource (Million Tonnes “Mt”)

Measured Resource	3
Indicated Resource	91
Inferred Resource	428
Total	521
Exploration Target:	25-40

The Amaam tenement is located 30km from a potential deep water port site on the Bering Sea coast which will allow Amaam coals ready access to the seaborne coal trade and key Asian markets.

Inferred Resources

According to the commentary accompanying the JORC Code an ‘Inferred Mineral Resource’ is that part of a Mineral Resource for which quantity and grade (or quality) are estimated on the basis of limited geological evidence and sampling. Geological evidence is sufficient to imply but not verify geological and grade (or quality) continuity. It is based on exploration, sampling and testing information gathered through appropriate techniques from locations such as outcrops, trenches, pits, workings and drill holes. An Inferred Mineral Resource has a lower level of confidence than that applying to an Indicated Mineral Resource and must not be converted to an Ore Reserve. It is reasonably expected that the majority of Inferred Mineral Resources could be upgraded to Indicated Mineral Resources with continued exploration.

Indicated Resources

According to the commentary accompanying the JORC Code an ‘Indicated Mineral Resource’ isthat part of a Mineral Resource for which quantity, grade (or quality), densities, shape and physical characteristics are estimated with sufficient confidence to allow the application of modifying factors in sufficient detail to support mine planning and evaluation of the economic viability of the deposit. Geological evidence is derived from adequately detailed and reliable exploration,sampling and testing gathered through appropriate techniques from locations such as outcrops, trenches, pits, workings and drill holes, and is sufficient to assume geological and grade (or quality) continuity between points of observation where data and samples are gathered.

Measured Resources

According to the commentary accompanying the JORC Code a ‘Measured Mineral Resource’ is that part of a Mineral Resource for which quantity, grade (or quality), densities, shape, and physical characteristics are estimated with confidence sufficient to allow the application of Modifying Factors to support detailed mine planning and final evaluation of the economic viability of the deposit. Geological evidence is derived from detailed and reliable exploration, sampling and testing gathered through appropriate techniques from locations such as outcrops, trenches, pits, workings and drill holes, and is sufficient to confirm geological and grade (or quality) continuity between points of observation where data and samples are gathered. A Measured Mineral Resource has a higher level of confidence than that applying to either an Indicated Mineral Resource or an Inferred Mineral Resource. It may be converted to a Proved Ore Reserve or under certain circumstances to a Probable Ore Reserve.

Exploration Target

According to the commentary accompanying the JORC Code An Exploration Target is a statement or estimate of the exploration potential of a mineral deposit in a defined geological setting where the statement or estimate, quoted as a range of tonnes and a range of grade (or quality), relates to mineralisation for which there has been insufficient exploration to estimate a Mineral Resource. Any such information relating to an Exploration Target must be expressed so that it cannot be misrepresented or misconstrued as an estimate of a Mineral Resource or Ore Reserve.The terms Resource or Reserve must not be used in this context.

Reserves

According to the commentary accompanying the JORC Code a ‘Reserve’ is the economically mineable part of a Measured and/or Indicated Mineral Resource. It includes diluting materials and allowances for losses which may occur when the material is mined or extracted and is defined by studies at Pre‐Feasibility or Feasibility level as appropriate that include application of Modifying Factors. Such studies demonstrate that at the time of reporting, extraction could reasonably be justified.
