Chairman’s letter
==> picture [96 x 54] intentionally omitted <==
21 September 2016
Dear Shareholder,
On behalf of the Directors, I am pleased to invite you, as a valued Shareholder of Aus Tin Mining Limited ( Aus Tin Mining or the Company ), to participate in Aus Tin Mining’s recently announced 1 for 10 non‐renounceable entitlement offer of new Aus Tin Mining ordinary shares ( New Shares ) at an issue price of $0.011 per New Share to raise approximately $1,657,658 ( Entitlement Offer ).
The Company has recently become only the second ASX‐listed tin producer in Australia, via its Granville Tin Project in Tasmania. Funds from the Entitlement Offer will be used in the expansion of mining and production activities at Granville, the furtherance of the application and approvals processes for the Taronga Tin Project in NSW, and the exploration of the Company’s other projects, including primarily at Mt Cobalt in Queensland. There will also be an element of working capital and corporate expenditure.
The number of New Shares you are entitled to subscribe for under the Entitlement Offer ( Entitlement ) is set out in your personalised Entitlement and Acceptance Form that accompanies this Offer Booklet. The Entitlement Offer is open to all shareholders on the register as at 26 September 2016 (the Record Date ) and with registered addresses in Australia, New Zealand and Hong Kong ( Eligible Shareholders ).
If you are an Eligible Shareholder and you wish to accept your Entitlement pursuant to the Entitlement Offer, you will need to complete the Entitlement and Acceptance Form and return it together with the appropriate application money to the Company’s Share Registry before 5pm (Sydney time) on the Closing Date of 14 October 2016.
If you take up your full Entitlement, you can also apply for additional New Shares ( Additional New Shares ) under a Shortfall Facility (refer to Section 5 of this Offer Booklet for more information) ( Shortfall Facility ). The offer price for the Additional New Shares will be the Issue Price of $0.011 per Additional New Share. Any Additional New Shares must be allocated from that pool of New Shares which remain available for allocation, after the allocation of all Entitlements to each Eligible Shareholder who has applied for their Entitlements ( Shortfall Shares ). Related Parties of the Company and their associates who are Eligible Shareholders must not apply for, and will not be issued Additional New Shares. Further, the Company will not allocate Additional New Shares to any Eligible Shareholder to the extent that the allocation will result in that Eligible Shareholder acquiring a holding of more than 20% in the Company. Please see Section 5 of this Offer Booklet for details on how to apply for Additional New Shares.
Entitlements are non‐renounceable and cannot be traded on the ASX or otherwise transferred. This means that if you choose not to take up your Entitlement you will not receive any value in respect of your Entitlement and your percentage interest in the Company will reduce.
DGR Global Limited, the largest shareholder in the Company, has agreed to underwrite 50% of the Entitlement Offer, amounting to $828,829.
Fiscus Capital Pty Ltd has agreed to be Lead Manager of the Offer.

==> picture [96 x 54] intentionally omitted <==
Aus Tin Mining’s Directors, executive team and certain largest shareholders have shown their support for the Entitlement Offer by indicating that they intend to subscribe for some or all of their Entitlements.
Key information with respect to the Entitlement Offer is set out in this Offer Booklet. Please read the Offer Booklet and the accompanying Investor Presentation carefully before deciding whether or not to invest.
The issue price of $0.011 per New Share has been equated to the Company’s recent placement, as recently announced. Allotment of the New Shares issued under the Entitlement Offer will occur on 21 October 2016.
The Board of Directors reserves the right to place any shortfall from the Entitlement Offer to third parties within three (3) months of the close of the Offer at a price no lower than the Offer Price.
If there is any matter on which you require further information, you should consult your stockbroker, accountant or other professional adviser.
On behalf of the Directors, I encourage you to consider this investment opportunity carefully and thank you for your ongoing support of Aus Tin Mining.
Yours sincerely,

1. Entitlement Offer Details
1.1 The Entitlement Offer
The Entitlement Offer is an offer to Eligible Shareholders of an estimated 150,696,181 New Shares at an Issue Price of $0.011 per New Share, on the basis of 1 New Shares for every 10 Shares held ( Entitlement ), to raise approximately $1,657,658 (before costs).
On the same date as announcing the Entitlement Offer, the Company applied to the ASX for the New Shares to be granted official quotation on the ASX. Official quotation of the New Shares is expected to occur on or about 22 October 2016.
The issue price of $0.011 per New Share has been equated to the Company’s recent placement, as announced on 6 September2016. Fractional Entitlements will be rounded down to the nearest whole number of New Shares.
The Entitlement Offer is non‐renounceable. Accordingly, Entitlements do not trade on the ASX, and they cannot be transferred or otherwise disposed of.
An Entitlement and Acceptance Form setting out your Entitlement accompanies this Offer Booklet. Eligible Shareholders may subscribe for all or part of their Entitlement. There is no minimum subscription amount.
Eligible Shareholders who do not take up all of their Entitlements will have their percentage shareholding in the Company diluted. Eligible Shareholders should be aware that an investment in the Company involves risks. The key risks identified by the Company are set out in Section 4 of this Offer Booklet.
1.2 Shortfall Facility
Each Eligible Shareholder may apply for Additional New Shares, in addition to their Entitlement, at an issue price of $0.011 per New Share ( Shortfall Facility ).
Any New Shares not taken up under the Entitlement Offer by the Closing Date ( Shortfall ) may be made available to those Eligible Shareholders who took up their full Entitlement and applied for Additional New Shares under the Shortfall Facility. There is no guarantee that such Shareholders will receive the number of Additional New Shares applied for, or indeed any Additional New Shares at all. There is no cap on the number of Additional New Shares that Eligible Shareholders may apply for under the Shortfall Facility, although the number of New Shares available under the Shortfall Facility will not exceed the Shortfall following the Entitlement Offer. The allocation of Additional New Shares will be made on a pro rata basis, if there is greater demand than available New Shares.
The Directors shall allot and issue Additional New Shares in accordance with the allocation policy for the Shortfall set out in Section 5. The Company may reject any application for Additional New Shares or allocate fewer Additional New Shares than applied for by subscribers for Additional New Shares.
Page 10 of 29
==> picture [96 x 54] intentionally omitted <==
The ability for the Company to issue Additional New Shares is dependent upon the extent of any Shortfall. Applications for Additional New Shares must be made in the Additional New Shares section on the Entitlement and Acceptance Form accompanying this Offer Booklet.
1.3 Eligibility of Shareholders
The Entitlement Offer is being offered to all Eligible Shareholders.
Eligible Shareholders are Shareholders on the Record Date who:
-
(a) have a registered address in a Prescribed Jurisdiction;
-
(b) are not in the United States or to persons (including nominees or custodians) acting for the account or benefit of a person in the United States or the United Kingdom; and
-
(c) are not ineligible under applicable securities laws in any country to receive an offer under the Entitlement Offer without any requirement for a prospectus to be lodged or registered.
1.4 Investment risks
Eligible Shareholders should be aware that an investment in the Company is subject to investment and other known and unknown risks, including possible loss of income and principal invested. A number of these risks are specific to the Company and the industry in which it operates. Some of the key risks identified by the Company are outlined in Section 4 of this Offer Booklet. However, these risks should not be taken to be exhaustive of the risks faced by the Company or its Shareholders. Those risk factors referred to in the Investor Presentation, and others not specifically referred to in the Investor Presentation, may materially affect the financial performance of the Company and the value of its Shares in the future.
Aus Tin Mining has implemented strategies, actions, systems and safeguards for known risks. However, some risks are beyond its control. Consequently, the prevailing price or value of New Shares issued under the Entitlement Offer may be more or less than the Issue Price.
In any event, the Company does not guarantee any particular rate of return, the performance of the Company, the payment of any dividends, the repayment of capital from the Company, any price for the Company’s Shares or any particular tax treatment.
1.5 New Share terms
Each New Share will rank equally with all existing Shares then on issue. Full details of the rights and liabilities attaching to the Shares are set out in the Constitution, a copy of which is available for inspection at the Company’s registered office during normal business hours.
1.6 Underwriting
The Entitlement Offer is underwritten as to 50% of the Entitlement Offer, amounting to $828,829 ( Underwritten Amount ), by DGR Global Limited ( DGR Global or the Underwriter ) pursuant to an underwriting agreement between the Company and DGR Global dated on or about 20 September 2016 ( Underwriting Agreement ).
Page 11 of 29
==> picture [96 x 54] intentionally omitted <==
(a) Terms of Underwriting Agreement
Key terms of the Underwriting Agreement are as follows:
-
(1) The Underwriter is required to subscribe for New Shares in respect of such of the Underwritten Amount remaining after any Eligible Shareholders have taken up their Entitlements (in part or full) and after the Directors have determined the number of Shortfall Shares that will be issued to Eligible Shareholders after having accepted any applications from Shareholders to subscribe for Shortfall Shares, in accordance with this Offer Booklet.
-
(2) The Underwriter’s obligation is however subject to the Company lodging this Offer Booklet with the ASX, and providing the Underwriter with a Shortfall Notice and Closing Certificate by the specified time in the Underwriting Agreement.
( Condition Precedent ).
-
(3) The Underwriter’s obligation to subscribe for New Shares will be reduced to the extent necessary if its obligation would cause a breach of the takeover provisions in Chapter 6 of the Corporations Act.[1]
-
(4) The Underwriter must use reasonable endeavours to procure and ensure that the Conditions Precedent is satisfied.
-
(5) The Underwriter may waive any Condition Precedent, although has indicated to the Company that it will not be willing to do so.
-
(6) The Underwriting Agreement does not contemplate or provide for any sub‐underwriting.
-
(7) The Company provides undertakings which are standard in an agreement of this kind and an additional undertaking that it will “not enter into any joint venture agreement or make any significant or material acquisitions in relation to the Company’s Taronga tin project or the Company’s other tin projects, outside the ordinary or usual course of undertaking those projects, without shareholder approval”.
-
(8) The obligation of the Underwriter to underwrite the Offer is subject to the standard Termination Events, the occurrence of which may allow the Underwriter to terminate its obligations under the Underwriting Agreement upon or at any time prior to the time when all of the Underwritten Shares have been allotted by the Company in accordance with the Offer (or this Agreement).
-
(9) Without limiting the Company’s common law rights, the Company may terminate the Underwriting Agreement at any time prior to the cessation of the Underwriter’s obligations only where there is a material breach of the Underwriting Agreement by the Underwriter.
-
(10) Pursuant to the Underwriting Agreement, as consideration for underwriting the Offer, the Company has agreed to pay to the Underwriter (or its nominee) an underwriting fee
1 The Underwriter presently holds some 328,030,650 Shares or 21.77% of the Company. Even if the Underwriter is required to subscribe for the full Underwritten Amount, this would only result in the Underwriter increasing its holding to 24.33%. Any such increase in the Underwriter’s Relevant Interest in Voting Shares will not breach section 606 of the Corporations Act.
Page 12 of 29
==> picture [96 x 54] intentionally omitted <==
( Underwriting Fee ) of 6% of the Underwritten Amount but excluding any part of the Underwritten Amount which is discharged by Debt Conversions by Eligible Shareholders. A termination fee equal to 50% of the Underwriting Fee is payable (in cash) where the Underwriter terminates the Underwriting Agreement due to a material breach by the Company or if the Company withdraws the Offer.
-
(11) Any New Shares applied for by the Underwriter in its own right under its Entitlement and all applications for New Shares received from the Prescribed Investors shall go in relief of the Underwriter’s obligation in respect of the Underwritten Amount.
-
(12) The Underwriting Agreement also contains other terms and conditions, and representations and warranties that are considered standard for an agreement of this type.
(b) Effect of Underwriting on Control
DGR Global currently has a Relevant Interest in 328,030,650 Shares (21.77%) of the Company.
The Underwritten Amount is 50% of the Entitlement Offer, or some 75,348,090 New Shares. DGR Global has an Entitlement of some 32,803,065 New Shares under the Entitlement Offer and proposes to take up all of its Entitlement.
If DGR Global was required to take up in its own right the whole of the Underwritten Amount less the relief it is entitled to for taking up its own Entitlement, it would increase its Relevant Interest to some 403,378,740 Shares (24.33%) of the Company.
DGR Global is entitled to increases its Relevant Interest in the Company pursuant to item 9 of s 615 Corporations Act by 3% higher than the Relevant Interest DGR Global held in the previous 6 months.
Prior to the recent placement conducted by the Company DGR Global held a Relevant Interest in 22.80% of the Company and is otherwise permitted to increase its Relevant Interest to some 25.80% of the Company.

In addition, Fiscus Capital will be issued 3 million options, exercisable at 2 cents each through to 30 June 2017 on completion of the Offer. Shares issued on exercise of the options will rank pari passu with all existing Shares of the Company from the date of issue.

Successful Applicants will be notified in writing of the number of New Shares allocated to them as soon as possible following the allocation being made.

Applicants who sell New Shares before they receive notice of the number of New Shares allocated to them do so at their own risk.
After allowing for the demands of Eligible Shareholders under the Entitlement Offer, the Directors reserve the right to place any shortfall under the Entitlement Offer within three (3) months at a price no lower than the offer price of $0.011.
1.10 ASX listing

It is the responsibility of the Applicants to determine their allocation of New Shares prior to trading.
1.11 CHESS
The Company will apply for the New Shares to participate in CHESS, in accordance with the ASX Listing Rules and ASX Settlement Operating Rules.
Page 14 of 29
==> picture [96 x 54] intentionally omitted <==
The Company will not issue certificates to Shareholders with respect to the New Shares. After allotment of the New Shares, Shareholders who are issuer sponsored will be provided with an issuer sponsored statement and those who are CHESS holders will receive an allotment advice.
The CHESS statements will set out the number of New Shares allotted to each successful Applicant pursuant to this Offer Booklet. The statement will also advise holders of their holder identification number (“HIN”). Further statements will be provided to holders which reflect any changes in their holding in the Company during a particular month.
1.12 Option Holders
Option Holders will not be entitled to participate in the Entitlement Offer unless they:
-
(a) have become entitled to exercise their Existing Options under the terms of their issue and do so prior to the Record Date; and
-
(b) participate in the Entitlement Offer as a result of being a holder of Shares registered on the share register at 7.00pm (Sydney time) on the Record Date, and having a registered address in a Prescribed Jurisdiction.
There are currently 314,556,032 Existing Options on issue, details of which are set out in Section 3.2.
However, in the event that the Existing Options were eligible for exercise and if all entitled Option Holders elect to exercise their Existing Options prior to the Record Date to participate in the Entitlement Offer a further 31,455,603 New Shares may be issued under the Offer.
1.13 Foreign Shareholders
As at the date of this Offer Booklet, the Company has the vast majority of its Shareholders with registered addresses in Australia, New Zealand, and Hong Kong (the Prescribed Jurisdictions ). Therefore, the Entitlement Offer and Shortfall Share Offer is being extended to all Shareholders on the Record Date with a registered address in one of the Prescribed Jurisdictions.

3.3 Potential effects of the Entitlement Offer on Control of Aus Tin Mining
The Entitlement Offer is a pro‐rata offer so that if all Eligible Shareholders take up their Entitlements and none of the Option Holders exercise their Existing Options and participate in the Entitlement Offer, the existing Voting Power of all Eligible Shareholders will remain substantially the same, as the number of Ineligible Shareholders is relatively minor.
However, if some Eligible Shareholders take up their Entitlements, Eligible Shareholders who do not take up all of their Entitlements will have their interest in Aus Tin Mining diluted.
The Company seeks to make the Offer to all Shareholders and has extended the Offer to foreign Shareholders with registered addresses in the Prescribed Jurisdictions. Ineligible Shareholders (at the date of this Offer Booklet) may be diluted as a consequence of the Offer. However, the number of shareholders in ineligible jurisdictions is minimal.
Underwriter
The Underwriter is DGR Global. For full details of the potential effects of the Entitlement Offer on Control of Aus Tin Mining as a consequence of DGR Global’s underwriting see section 1.6.
Major Shareholders
The Company’s current Substantial Shareholders are set out above in Section 3.1.
The Company considers that having regard to these shareholdings and the nature of the Entitlement Offer, the effect of the Offer on control of the Company is likely to be minimal because:
-
(a) the maximum Relevant Interest that could be obtained by DGR Global is 24.33%, which is less than a 3% increase in its current Relevant Interest;
-
(b) no other Shareholder is entitled to increase its Relevant Interest in excess of 19.99%.
It is noted, however, that under Listing Rule 10.11 the Company is prevented from issuing Shortfall Shares to any Shareholder who is a Related Party without Shareholder approval. This means that it is not possible for a Related Party Shareholder to increase their Relevant Interest by subscribing for Shortfall Shares.
Other than as described above, the Company is not aware of any other scenario in which it would be possible for a Shareholder or a person to acquire a Relevant Interest in more than 20% of the Company as a consequence of the Offer.
3.4 Director and Major Shareholder intentions
All of the Directors and some of the Company’s largest Shareholders have shown their support for the Entitlement Offer by indicating that they intend to subscribe for some or all of their Entitlements under the Offer.

4. Risks
==> picture [96 x 54] intentionally omitted <==
Investing in New Shares in the Company involves some risk. There are a number of factors, both specific to the Company and of a general nature, which may affect the future operating and financial performance of the Company and the value of your investment in the Company. Some of these factors can be mitigated by appropriate commercial action. However, many are outside the control of the Company, are dependent on the policies adopted and approaches taken by regulatory authorities, or cannot otherwise be mitigated. If you are unsure about subscribing for New Shares in the Company, you should first seek advice from your stockbroker, accountant, financial or other professional adviser.
The New Shares offered under this Offer Booklet carry no guarantee in respect of profitability, dividends, return of capital or the price at which they may trade on ASX. The past performance of the Company should not necessarily be considered a guide to the future performance of the Company. As with any equity investment, substantial fluctuations in the value of your investment may occur. This Offer Booklet does not set out all the risks you may face in applying for, and holding, additional shares in the Company.
The key risks are summarised below:
| he key risks are summ | arised below: |
|---|---|
| Key Business risk | Description |
| Financing | The Company’s ability to effectively implement its business strategy over time may depend in part on its ability to raise additional funds. There can be no assurance that any such equity or debt funding will be available on favourable terms or at all. If adequate funds are not available on acceptable terms, the Company may not be able to take advantage of opportunities or otherwise respond to competitive pressures. The Company may decide to raise additional funds in the future through further capital raising. This may result in the Company issuing additional shares in the Company to third parties who are not presently shareholders of the Company. As a result, existing shareholdings may be diluted. |
| Operational risks | Prosperity for the Company and its subsidiaries will depend largely upon an efficient and successful implementation of all the aspects of exploration, developments, business activities and management of commercial factors. The operations of the Company and its subsidiaries may be disrupted by a variety of risks and hazards which are beyond the control of the Company. Exploration has been and will continue to be hampered on occasions by unforseen weather events, accidents, unforseen cost changes, environmental considerations, natural events and other incidents beyond the control of the Company. |
| Government policy and taxation |
Changes in relevant taxation, interest rates, other legal, legislative and administrative regimes, and Government policies in Australia (at Federal and State level), may have an adverse effect on the assets, operations and ultimately the financial performance of Company. |
Page 18 of 29
==> picture [96 x 54] intentionally omitted <==
| Commodity prices | The Company’s prospects and perceived value will be influenced from time to time by the prevailing short‐term prices of the commodities targeted in exploration programs of the Company and its subsidiaries. Commodity prices fluctuate and are affected by factors including supply and demand for mineral products, hedge activities associated with commodity markets, the costs of production and general global economic and financial market conditions. These factors may cause volatility which in turn, may affect the Company’s ability to finance its future exploration and/or bring the Company’s projects to market. |
|---|---|
| Tenement risks | All exploration permits in which Company has an interest (directly or indirectly) will require compliance with certain levels of expenditure and renewal from time to time. If for any reason expenditure requirements are not met or a licence or permit is not renewed then Company may suffer damage and as a result may be denied the opportunity to develop certain mineral resources. |
| Land Access risks | Land access is critical for exploration and evaluation to succeed. Access to land for exploration purposes can be affected by factors such as land ownership and Native title claims. |
| Environmental risks | The various tenements which the Company has interests in (whether directly or indirectly) are subject to laws and regulations regarding environmental matters, which mean there are potential liability risks. |
| Exploration and production |
Tenements in which the Company or its Related Bodies Corporate has an interest are at various stages of exploration. There can be no assurance that exploration of the project areas will result in the discovery of an economic reserve. |
| Contractual risk | The Company’s ability to efficiently conduct its operations in a number of respects depends upon a third party product and service providers and contracts have, in some circumstances, been entered into by the Company and its subsidiaries in this regard. Any default under such contracts by a third party may adversely affect the Company. |

5. How to Apply
5.1 Your choices as an Eligible Shareholder
The number of New Shares to which each Eligible Shareholder is entitled ( Entitlement ) is calculated as at 7:00pm (Sydney time) on the Record Date of 26 September 2016 and is shown on the personalised Entitlement and Acceptance Form accompanying this Offer Booklet.
Eligible Shareholders may:
-
(a) take up their Entitlement in full and, if they do so, they may apply for Additional New Shares under the Shortfall Facility (refer to Sections 5.2 and 5.3);
-
(b) take up part of their Entitlement, in which case the balance of the Entitlement would lapse (refer to Section 5.4); or
-
(c) allow their Entitlement to lapse (refer to Section 5.5).
The Company reserves the right to reject any Application that is received after the Closing Date. The Closing Date for acceptance of the Entitlement Offer is 5:00pm (Sydney time) on 14 October 2016.
Ineligible Shareholders may not take up any of their Entitlements.
5.2 Taking up your Entitlement in full
If you wish to take up your Entitlement in full, follow the instructions set out on the Entitlement and Acceptance Form.
Please return your completed Entitlement and Acceptance Form together with your Application Monies in accordance with Section 5.7 for the amount shown on the Entitlement and Acceptance Form to the Share Registry so that it is received no later than 5.00pm (Sydney time) on 14 October 2016 at the address set out below:

Page 20 of 29
==> picture [96 x 54] intentionally omitted <==
Refund amounts, if any, will be paid in Australian dollars. You will be paid by cheque sent by ordinary post to your address as recorded on the share register.
5.3 Taking up your Entitlement in full and applying for Shortfall Shares
A Shortfall will exist if any Eligible Shareholder does not take up their full Entitlement. Additional New Shares applied for will only be allocated and issued if any Eligible Shareholders do not apply for their full Entitlements, and therefore a Shortfall exists – the Entitlement Offer is undersubscribed.
Allocation and allotment of any Additional New Shares applied for will be made in accordance with the following policy:
-
(a) The Directors will allocate the Shortfall Shares to Eligible Shareholders who have indicated they wish to take up Additional New Shares as provided for in Section 5.2 and 5.3.
-
(b) These Additional New Shares will be allocated on a pro‐rata basis if there is a greater demand than available shares.
-
(c) The Underwriter, any Related Party or Eligible Shareholder associated with them will not be entitled to participate in the Shortfall Facility.
-
(d) The Company will not allocate or issue Additional New Shares under the Shortfall Facility, where it is aware that to do so would result in a breach of the Corporations Act, the Listing Rules or any other relevant legislation or law. Eligible Shareholders wishing to apply for Additional New Shares must consider whether or not the issue of the Additional New Shares applied for would breach the Corporations Act or the Listing Rules having regard to their own circumstances.
-
(e) There is no guarantee that Eligible Shareholders will be successful in being allocated any of the Additional New Shares that they apply for. The Company may reject any application for Additional New Shares or allocate fewer Additional New Shares than applied for by Applicants for Additional New Shares in accordance with the policy set out above.
5.4 Taking up part of your Entitlement and allowing the balance to lapse
If you wish to take up part only of your Entitlement, complete the Entitlement and Acceptance Form for the number of New Shares you wish to take up and follow the other steps required in accordance with Section 5.2 above.
5.5 Allowing your entitlement to lapse
If you do not wish to accept all or any part of your Entitlement, do not take any further action and that part of your Entitlement will lapse.
5.6 Consequences of not taking up your Entitlement
If you do not take up all of your Entitlement in accordance with the instructions set out above, any New Shares that you would have otherwise been entitled to under the Entitlement Offer, may be issued by the Directors to other Eligible Shareholders pursuant to an application by them for Shortfall Shares.
Page 21 of 29
==> picture [96 x 54] intentionally omitted <==
5.7 Payment
The consideration for the New Shares is payable in full on Application by a payment of $0.011 per New Share.
The Entitlement and Acceptance Form must be accompanied by a cheque for the Application Monies. Cheques must be drawn in Australian currency on an Australian bank and made payable to ‘ Aus Tin Mining Limited ’ and crossed ‘Not Negotiable’.
Alternatively, you may arrange for payment of the Application Monies through BPAY in accordance with the instructions on the Entitlement and Acceptance Form.
You may arrange for payment through BPAY in accordance with the instructions on the Entitlement and Acceptance Form. If payment is made through BPAY and the Company receives an amount that is less than the Issue Price multiplied by your Entitlement ( Reduced Amount ), your payment may be treated as an application for as many New Shares as your Reduced Amount will pay for in full.
Eligible Shareholders must not forward cash by mail. Receipts for payment will not be issued.
5.8 Debt conversion facility
If in addition to being an Eligible Shareholder you are also a creditor of the Company, you may elect to take up your Entitlement (or Shortfall Shares) by means of the conversion of some or all of the existing debt owed to you by the Company. The conversion will be undertaken on a dollar for dollar basis at the Issue Price, and in the case of any fractional entitlements, the number of New Shares arising from the conversion of the debt shall be rounded to the nearest whole number. The election to settle the subscription amounts owing in respect of your Entitlement or subscription for Shortfall Shares by conversion of an existing Shareholder Debt, is provided for on the Entitlement and Acceptance Form.
For clarity, the debt conversion facility does not enable any creditor Shareholders to take up more New Shares under the Offer than if the facility was not available and for the avoidance of doubt the debt conversion facility is not available for the Underwriter to satisfy any of its obligations to subscribe for New Shares pursuant to the Underwriting Agreement.
DGR Global is a creditor of the Company at the date of this Entitlement Offer is owed approximately $430,000.
5.9 Binding effect of Entitlement and Acceptance Form
A completed and lodged Entitlement and Acceptance Form, or a payment made through BPAY, constitutes a binding offer to acquire New Shares on the terms and conditions set out in this Offer Booklet and, once lodged or paid, cannot be withdrawn. If the Entitlement and Acceptance Form is not completed correctly it may still be treated as a valid application for New Shares. The Directors’ decision whether to treat an acceptance as valid and how to construe, amend or complete the Entitlement and Acceptance Form is final.
Page 22 of 29
==> picture [96 x 54] intentionally omitted <==
By completing and returning your personalised Entitlement and Acceptance Form with the requisite Application Monies or making a payment by BPAY, you will also be deemed to have acknowledged, represented and warranted on behalf of each person on whose account you are acting that:
-
(a) you are an Eligible Shareholder and are not in the United States and are not a person (including nominees or custodians) acting for the account or benefit of a person in the United States and are not otherwise a person to whom it would be illegal to make an offer or issue New Shares under the Entitlement Offer;
-
(b) you acknowledge that the New Shares have not been, and will not be, registered under the US Securities Act or under the laws of any other jurisdiction outside the prescribed jurisdiction (if registration is required); and
-
(c) you have not and will not send any materials relating to the Entitlement Offer to any person in the United States or to any person (including nominees or custodians) acting for the account or benefit of a person in the United States.
5.10 Brokerage, handling fees and stamp duty
No brokerage, handling fees or stamp duty is payable by Applicants in respect of their applications for New Shares under this Offer Booklet. The amount payable on acceptance will not vary during the period of the Entitlement Offer and no further amount is payable on allotment.
Application Monies will be held in trust in a subscription account until allotment of the New Shares. The subscription account will be established and kept by the Company on behalf of the Applicants. Any interest earned on the Application Monies will be retained by the Company irrespective of whether allotment takes place.

Upside: Mt Cobalt X-Factor
Review of historical records and recent field reconnaissance resulted with an outstanding cobalt opportunity[1] :
-
New hi g h g rade cobalt tar g et centred on historic hi g h g rade workings south of Mt Cobalt (40km west of Gympie, QLD)
-
Historic reports record Smith Mine mining a high grade cobalt lode 7m wide, 25m depth at 7.5%Co, 2.5%Ni, 18%Mn
-
R ecen t roc k c hi p assay ng up o . i t 1 66%C o o bt a ne i d
-
Mapping of shear zone extends overall target to 800m
-
Mineralisation dips steeply to the west and not intersected by previous drilling
Secure and low cost cobalt supply will be imperative for Li-ion market to realise expectations

–
-
65 percent of global cobalt production from DRC political risk high
-
Very few “pure cobalt projects” as cobalt predominately
-
produced as a by product of nickel and copper production – closure of Ni/Cu projects is impacting cobalt production (eg QNI @ Townsville)
-
Typical economic cobalt grades 0.1 to 0.15 percent

Five reasons for investors to buy Aus Tin Mining (ASX:ANW)
1. Direct leverage to rising tin price through Granville cash flow – higher price equals higher cash flow
2. Funded development model for Granville and Taronga Stage 1 Project
3. 100% ownership of world class Taronga Tin Project – could possibly be the “10 bagger”
4. Exposure to cobalt through a high grade exploration project centred on historic high grade cobalt mine p us xp oratl E l ion potent ai l for tli hium and rubidium at aronga T & Torr ngtoni
5. Recent share price performance strong with a number of key milestones due for H2 2016, including;
-
Ex plo r at i o n at Mt Cobalt
-
Progress approvals for Granville Expansion and Taronga Stage 1 Development
-
Exploration for lithium / rubidium/tin at Taronga & Torrington
