- Tivan Limited (ASX:TVN) is an Australia-based critical minerals company engaged in the exploration, evaluation, development, and processing of mineral resources focused on vanadium, fluorite, tungsten, molybdenum, titanium, iron, and copper-gold. Founded in 1970 and headquartered in Darwin, Northern Territory, the company advances a diversified portfolio of projects across northern Australia, including the Kimberley region of Western Australia, the Northern Territory, and Timor-Leste; its core assets encompass the 100%-owned Speewah Fluorite and Vanadium projects in Western Australia, which target high-grade fluorite and vanadiferous titanomagnetite ore; the Sandover Project and adjacent 100%-owned Molyhil Tungsten-Molybdenum project in the Northern Territory, featuring Australia's highest-grade fluorite prospect identified through artificial intelligence exploration and ultra-high-grade fluorite discoveries; the Turiscai Copper-Gold project in Timor-Leste; and proprietary TIVAN+ hydrometallurgical processing technology, developed with CSIRO, for extracting commercial-grade vanadium, titanium, and iron from VTM ores while producing premium vanadium electrolyte for redox flow batteries. Tivan holds exclusive global rights (excluding India) to TIVAN+ under a long-term license and research agreement with CSIRO, positioning it to commercialize VTM resources worldwide and support energy transition supply chains in Asia. In recent developments, Tivan formed a joint venture with Sumitomo Corporation and Japan Organisation for Metals and Energy Security (JOGMEC) for the Speewah Fluorite Project in July 2025, following a non-binding memorandum in December 2024; acquired the Sandover Fluorite Project in November 2024 via a binding term sheet; purchased the Molyhil Tungsten-Molybdenum Project in September 2025, supported by an $8.3 million cornerstone investment from ETFS Capital as a major shareholder; secured $2 million in grant funding from the second tranche of the Australian Government's International Partnerships in Critical Minerals program in August 2025 for Speewah exploration; and expanded holdings in Timor-Leste while progressing feasibility studies toward final investment decisions across its pipeline. The company, formerly TNG Limited until its name change in January 2023, maintains strategic alliances such as with Earth AI for AI-driven exploration and pursues project financing from entities including the Northern Australia Infrastructure Facility and Export Finance Australia.
