Granville and Mt Cobalt Update
Highlights
-
Tin production ramping-up at Granville Tin Project

Drilling at Mt Cobalt confirms cobalt/nickel/manganese oxide mineralisation
The Directors of Aus Tin Mining Limited ( the Company) are pleased to provide the following update in relation to the Granville Tin Project and Mt Cobalt project.
Granville Tin Production
The Company announced on 17 August 2016 that it had commenced production at the Granville Tin Project, and since then the Company has implemented a number of measures to increase the throughput rate. Production of tin concentrate is on-going and the first dispatch of tin concentrate under the Traxys off-take agreement is anticipated within the month. Payable tin production to the end of December 2016 is expected to be approximately 50 tonnes of contained tin metal, based on the expected grade of tailings being re-treated. Produced tin concentrate is to be sold under the existing marketing arrangements with Traxys.
Concurrently the Company is progressing the necessary approvals for the expanded Level 2 operation ( Granville Expansion ). The Granville Expansion will entail the processing of significant levels of existing stockpiled ore plus a resumption of mining at the Granville East Open Pit (Figure 1).

For the Granville Expansion a new pre-concentration plant is expected to further increase the production rate to approximately 550 tpa of tin in concentrate.
Mt Cobalt Exploration
The Company announced on 17 October 2016 that it had commenced a 600m drilling program targeting high grade cobalt mineralisation at its Mt Cobalt project west of Gympie in Queensland. To date three holes for a total 120m of reverse circulation (RC) drilling have been completed. Whilst assay results are yet to be received, visible black and green cobalt/nickel/manganese oxide mineralisation of indeterminate grade was reported in each of the holes (Figure2). The balance of the program is expected to be completed within the fortnight, subject to weather conditions. Significant assays will be reported when available.

About Aus Tin Mining (the Company)
Aus Tin Mining Limited (ASX: ANW) has a vision to become a major Australian tin producer. The Company has recommenced production at the high grade Granville Tin Project located north of Zeehan (TAS). Subject to regulatory approvals, the Company intends to expand the Granville Tin Project and undertake exploration to extend the Life of Mine. The Company is also developing the world class Taronga Tin Project located near Emmaville (NSW). The Company defined and announced its maiden JORC compliant resource for the Taronga Tin Project in late 2013, and testwork and exploration activities on site have revealed potential credits for copper, silver, tungsten, molybdenum, lithium and rubidium. Highly prospective regional targets have also been established within the Company’s broader tenement footprint, and within trucking distance of the proposed processing site at Taronga. Plans for a staged development of the Taronga Tin Project are in formation, together with the associated approvals processes.
The Company also maintains an active exploration program. The Company holds a portfolio of exploration licenses prospective for nickel, cobalt and copper (Kilkivan QLD); and tin, copper, silver, tungsten and lithium (Torrington NSW) and nickel (TAS).
