ASX Announcement

AusTin Mining Limited (ASX:ANW)

17 October 2016

Exploration Program Commenced at Mt Cobalt Project

Highlights

  • 800m long Mt Cobalt target centred on sites of historic production up to 7.5% cobalt.

  • Current exploration program commenced at Mt Cobalt targeting down dip extensions to historic workings and cross shears along 250m strike.

  • Cobalt price continues to rise strongly and now above $28,000/t.

The Directors of Aus Tin Mining Limited (the Company ) are pleased to provide the following update in relation to exploration activities at the Mt Cobalt project located west of Gympie in Queensland.

The Company previously announced an overall cobalt target 800m in length at its Mt Cobalt project. Historical mine records in conjunction with rock chip samples of up to 1.66%Co and 0.67%Ni[1] provided the basis of an extended target south of previously identified cobalt and nickel mineralisation.

The Company has commenced a 600m Reverse Circulation (RC) drilling program targeting down dip extensions to historic workings ( Figure 1 ). Historical records for the Smith Mine report mining a lode approximately 7m in true width to a depth of 25m with a grade of 7.5%Co, 2.5%Ni and 18%Mn[2] . The reported dip of the lode was 50 degrees and based on the steeply dipping cobalt enriched master‐shear

evident from surface, the mineralised zone is interpreted to extend beyond the reported depth of 25m for the historic workings. The Company will undertake a number of RC drill holes proximate to the historic workings to test the depth extension.

To facilitate the drilling program, the Company has commenced construction of a series of road cuttings to provide drill access. As evidenced by previous work at Mt Cobalt, such road cuttings are able to remove scree material and expose the underlying geology, notably the master shear that hosts the cobalt and nickel mineralisation. Field mapping will be undertaken of any exposed shear zones between the two adits approximately 250m apart ( Figure 2 ) and used to identify additional drill targets.

About Cobalt

During the past six months the cobalt price has risen approximately 25 percent to US$28,000/t on expectations of increased demand from the growing market for Li‐ion batteries, specifically for electric vehicles, with a single electric‐car battery containing up to 15kg of cobalt[3] . There have also been increased concerns on the sustainability of cobalt supply from the Democratic Republic of Congo (DRC) with Amnesty International highlighting human rights abuses in connection to cobalt trade from DRC. Based on a poll of market participants, Metals Bulletin report a bullish outlook, anticipating cobalt prices of $33,000/t but as high as $44,000/t[4] .

Corporate

The Company has previously announced details of a 1:10 Entitlement Offer to raise up to $1.66M, of which DGR Global has underwritten half of the raising. The Company also recently announced an extended closing date of 21[st] October 2016 after being made aware that Entitlement Booklets had not yet been received by all shareholders. If shareholders intend to participate in the Entitlement Offer but have not yet received their Entitlement Booklet, they are strongly encouraged to contact the Company Secretary.
