Resource / Reserve Grade
- Increased tin grade with larger samples (Newmont in 1984 concluded for Northern Zone, values below 0 . 28%Sn were higher for bulk sample compared to core , and in Southern Zone a similar situation for values below 0.22%Sn)

- Six key high grade targets within close trucking distance of Taronga provided the basis an Exploration Target of approximately 150kt to 265k at approximately 2.3% to 2.5%Sn. The Exploration Target is conceptual in nature , noting there has been insufficient exploration to estimate a Mineral Resource and that it is uncertain if further exploration will result in the estimation of a Mineral Resource. The Company is planning an exploration program to test the targets over the next 12 months as detailed in the ASX announcement of 2 September 2014.

8.
ANW to undertake a program of work targeting areas of upside
Target increased grade at Taronga – going from 0.16%Sn to 0.19%Sn makes a good project great
-
−Bulk sampling program to enable comparison against the reserve model
-
Even at toda y ’s tin price , an increase in grade to 0 . 19% co u ld generate IRR > 20%
Target increased tin, copper and silver recoveries that could reduce cash costs dramatically
-
-
Metallurgical test work program to evaluate ore sorting, centrifugal concentration and flotation for tin recovery and expand on previous flotation work for copper & silver
-
−Increase in feed grade to 0.19%Sn would reduce LOM C1 cash costs by 15%
-
Inclusion of $5Mpa net revenue from copper & silver would reduce LOM C1 cash costs by further 10%
Target potential high-grade supplementary feed sources
-
−Preliminary evaluation of potential high grade tin targets close to Taronga, including
-
Dutchman & Harts underground target of 122kt @ 2.3%Sn based on previous feasibility studies[1]
-
Planet Mine with most significant intersection being 1.0m @ 16%SN from 90m[2]

− Significant changes within the Indonesian market durin g p ast 18 months (accounts for 30% of global production)
− Recent price softness attributed to higher refined tin production from both China and Indonesia in Q2 ’14
− Partly offset by weaker AUD/USD

Fundamentals remain sound for medium to long term price recovery
Tin price expected to rise on strong fundamentals driven by expanding supply deficit
-
−Global stocks at record lows
-
−Supply deficit expected to increase from -2,529t (2013) to -80,456t (2020)
Mine production unlikely to meet medium term demand
-
Reserve to Production Ratio is only 8 years (for comparison Rare Earths Oxide (REO) is 308 years)
-
−Few new projects likely to be in production by 2018
