I wonder if NMT has cast an eye over TNG’s TIVAN refining process?

Some reasons it might want to do that is the novel process is for high purity titanium, vanadium and ferrous oxide.

Another reason might be the collaboration between TNG and SMS Group, (not unlike the Primobius collaboration between NMT and SMS Group.

SMS Group cannot be happy that TNG has been forced to move their planned refinery from Darwin to near Tennant Creek. They would also not be happy that TNG has not even been close to achieving it’s time line which has dragged on for 12 years.

For SMS to have hung around this long says the technology must be sound, (maybe superior to TMT’s tech?).
