Based on the agreement terms, both TNG and Gunvor will work towards completion of the final binding life of mine sale and purchase offtake agreements for the iron products from the project.
TNG managing director Paul Burton said: "This agreement marks another milestone for Mount Peake, building on the landmark off-take agreement signed in September with Woojin.
"The signing of this agreement in the current challenging global market environment is a solid achievement by our team and is testament to the quality and robustness of the Mount Peake Project.
"We look forward to working closely with Gunvor and executing the final binding offtake sale and purchase agreements for the long term."
