REVIEW OF PROJECT ACTIVITIES
Summary
The Company’s two major projects are currently:
- The Taronga Tin Project (100% Aus Tin Mining)
This is a substantial tin deposit by world standards and would be highly profitable if operational at current tin prices. The Company is progressing its plans for bulk ore testing, with NSW Govt approval recently obtained. This will assist Aus Tin with the process of unlocking further project value, as outlined below.
- The Ashford Coking Coal Project (40% Aus Tin Mining)
Like Taronga, the Ashford Project would be very profitable if it was currently in production – coking coal prices have recently touched all-time highs. Importantly, Ashford is primarily a coking coal project, and as such, its coal is expected to remain in demand as an essential ingredient in steel making for the foreseeable future.
Tin
The Company has been concentrating on advancing its Taronga Tin Project during the quarter. The immediate aim is to collect a 75 tonne bulk sample from the Northern Adit which cross-cuts the large Northern Zone. The adit, which has cross-sectional dimensions of 2 metre by 1.5 metre and is 90 metres long, was mined by Newmont in the early 1980’s. Newmont used the material won from the mining of the adit as a representative sample of the Northern Zone ore on which to perform metallurgical testwork. They also carefully crushed and sampled the ore produced (almost the entire 90 metres was mineralised) so that a grade comparison could be made with a horizontal diamond drill hole which was drilled prior to the adit being mined. The adit actually followed the track of the diamond hole exactly, so that a direct comparison could be made between the small sample collected by diamond drilling (the diamond core) and the much larger, and therefore much more representative sample, collected by mining the adit.
Approval for the revised Mining Operations Plan (MOP) was received from the NSW Resources Regulator on 5 October which permits the Company to undertake the extraction of the bulk sample and this work is expected to be completed during Quarter 4.
The Company intends to repeat the exercise conducted by Newmont.
- A bulk sample of approximately 75 tonnes will be collected crushed and sampled and compared to the original diamond hole assay results.

==> picture [131 x 70] intentionally omitted <==
- Representative samples will be split from the bulk sample and utilised for metallurgical testwork. The Company has previously conducted testwork on Taronga ore samples utilising a HPGR (High Pressure Grinding Roll). This preliminary testwork produced highly encouraging results (See ASX announcement dated 23 February 2021). The planned testwork, utilising representative bulk samples from the adit, is aimed at confirming and optimising the preliminary HPGR results. Taronga is a very large, but low-grade tin deposit. However, it has consistently been demonstrated by Aus Tin and the previous operator, Newmont, in testwork, that the ore is amenable to ore sorting and upgrading by various techniques. The Company intends to optimise the method, or combination of methods, which can best be used to upgrade the Taronga ore by utilising the representative bulk sample for testwork. The results of this testwork are expected to become available in Quarter 1, 2022.
Aus Tin owns 100% of the world-class Taronga Tin Project. The project contains 36.3 million tonnes of ore at an average grade of 0.16% Sn containing 57,200 tonnes of tin metal, 26,400 tonnes of copper and 4.4 million ounces of silver (see Table 1 and Table 2 below for a full report of the JORC 2012 compliant resource).

The Granville (Tasmania) Tin Project
The Company now holds a substantial tenement base in the area to the east of Granville Harbour as detailed in Appendix 1 and shown in Figure 2 below. Aus Tin will continue to maintain these properties in good standing as it considers expressions of interest in its Tasmanian tin properties.
==> picture [463 x 361] intentionally omitted <==
Figure 2 – Geological map highlighting EL/9/2019 and surrounding leases
The Granville Project remains under care and maintenance. As outlined above, the tin price recently touched an all time high.
London Metals Exchange Tin Price
The tin price has continued to perform strongly, rising by 95 percent over the 12 month period from the end of Quarter 3 2020 to the end of Quarter 3 2021. This was a rise of US$17,300, from US$18,250 per tonne to US$35,550 per tonne in the 12 month period to the end of the quarter. Since then, the price has hit yet another all-time high of US$39,650 per tonne on October 19.
Tin prices have benefitted from supply disruptions in major tin producing countries as well as exceptional demand in electronics. The metal is widely used in soldering where it is used because of its low melting point, its good wetting properties and its ability to dissolve well with most metals.

James Willoughby, an analyst at the International Tin Association (ITA) said, “A combination of supply issues and a pick up in demand means stocks are very low”. The deficit in the global tin market is expected to rise to 12,700 tonnes in 2022 from 10,200 tonnes in 2021 according to the ITA.
In June this year, the Malaysian Smelting Corporation declared force majeure, after a combination of equipment problems and Covid-19 controls affected production. The smelter is the world’s third biggest producer of refined tin and the restricted production has likely played a part in the recent tin price movements.
The tin price movements during 2021 may be seen below in Figure:1.

Coking Coal
Ashford Coking Coal Project (Ashford Project)
A recent meeting of Renison Coal Pty Ltd (40% Aus Tin Mining, 60% Laneway Resources) considered the outstanding issues requiring attention in order to successfully bring the Ashford Project into production. The various issues were considered and a budget approved for the remainder of the financial year in order to advance the project towards the desired outcome. Considerations included:
-
Mine Design – a conceptual mine plan will be completed at a high level including mine plan, infrastructure construction, taking into account, waste, haul roads and historic pits.
-
EIS Portion of Development Consent (James Bailey & Ass. Currently Engaged) - Requires background monitoring, water studies, flora fauna etc based around disturbance area from above mine design work.
-
Native Title (Gomeroi People) - Complete the Right to Negotiate process.

Exploration – Emmaville and Torrington
Exploration activities on the tenements have been extremely limited due to Covid-19 related restrictions. For the period, border closures between Queensland and NSW have been in force making access onto the tenements impossible. Activities have been limited to desktop studies.
Cobalt and Nickel (Queensland Projects)
The Company committed limited expenditure on the tenements during the quarter.
Quarterly Expenditure
Due to the ongoing logistical and border crossing restrictions imposed as a result of COVID, the Company only spent approximately $80,000 on exploration and project related asset purchases in the quarter. This does not include time for the CEO which may ultimately be capitalised to the cost of projects on a timespent basis.
No funds were expended in relation to mining or production related activities.
Related Party Payments
During the quarter, the Company paid Directors Fees of $40,000 during the quarter.

Secured Loan Facility
Aus Tin Mining Ltd entered into a Convertible Security Funding Agreement (CFSA) with The Australian Special Opportunity Fund LP for an aggregate of $3.5 million that had a face value of $4.2 million. The Convertible Notes issued under the CFSA are secured by a General Security Agreement over the Company and guarantee and indemnities from its wholly owned subsidiaries. Since the series of drawdowns, the CFSA has been partially repaid via the allotment of shares. As at 30 September 2021, the balance outstanding on the facility was $1.55 million.
