TNT MINES LIMITED
C h a i r m a n ’ s L e t t e r t o S h a r e h o l d e r s
Dear Fellow Shareholders,
It has been an exciting year for TNT Mines in which the Company has made significant progress operationally and corporately over the past 12 months.
Our business strategy is to evaluate the true commercial potential of our existing assets, whilst we seek out new complementary mining project investments and acquisition opportunities both nationally and internationally.
TNT Mines board and management are focusing on the potential acquisition of a base metal or strategic metals projects in Australia and/or other tier-1 mining jurisdictions, with the core goal of adding significant future commercial value for our shareholders.
At an operations level, all Tasmanian tenements underwent a detailed technical and geological review by the new TNT Mines team, led by Nick Castleden.
At the Great Pyramid tin project, field work undertaken generated quality drill targets resulting in an inaugural drilling program to investigate potential for zones of increased veining and tin grade below shallow mineralisation. This led to a follow up diamond drilling program that commenced in July, that is not completed with the final assay results and detailed geological interpretation expected soon.
At Lutwyche-Kookaburra, assay results from two un-sampled diamond drill holes were strongly consistent with historical observations in underground and surface mapping and confirms the Lutwyche - Kookaburra vein complex to be a significant narrow-vein tin-tungsten target.
On the corporate front, your company maintains a robust balance sheet with cash on hand at the 30 June 2018 of $3.9 million and no debt.
In conclusion, I would like to take this opportunity to thank all shareholders for their continuing support during what has been a fantastic start in a difficult market in 2018 for the new TNT Mines.
I feel that we have laid very solid foundations for what will be a strong year ahead in FY2019 and I look forward to updating you on our progress.
Thank you again for your support.

DIRECTORS’ REPORT
Your directors submit their annual financial report of TNT Mines Limited (“TNT Mines”) at the end of, or during, the year ended 30 June 2018.
OPERATING AND FINANCIAL REVIEW
OPERATING REVIEW – TIN/TUNGSTEN PROJECTS IN TASMANIA
Since listing in November 2017, the Company has actively undertaken exploration activities across its prospective, north-east Tasmanian-based tin-tungsten projects. The Company aims to rapidly progress its assets through priority exploration programs to evaluate each projects true commercial potential.
Great Pyramid
At the time of listing in late 2017, TNT Mines held a JORC Inferred Mineral Resources at Great Pyramid of 5.2Mt at 0.20% Sn (at a 0.10% Sn cut-off grade).
The Great Pyramid deposit was discovered in 1909 and although the tenement has been explored relatively extensively in the past, only minor production has taken place.
Great Pyramid is a tin-rich alteration system characterised by stacked quartz veinlets in a folded and silicified sandstone, quartzite and shale sequence.
The Company has moved to expand its JORC Resource through identifying and drilling prospective exploration targets.
TNT Mines has commenced its inaugural diamond drilling at Great Pyramid in July 2018. An initial 300m hole was completed in August 2018 to cut vein set at an optimal angle within key sandstone/quartzite host rocks.
The drilling is designed to investigate potential for zones of increased veining and tin grade below shallow mineralisation. Mapping shows historical angled drilling was subparallel to the dominant vein orientation and potentially ineffective.
Logging and core processing results are anticipated to be announced shortly.
Aberfoyle Project
The Aberfoyle Project consists of three main prospects: Storey’s Creek tungsten prospect, the Royal George tin deposit and the Aberfoyle-Lutwyche-Kookaburra tin and tungsten mines.
The sites contain a series of abandoned historic mines, which offers TNT Mines access to existing infrastructure, including sealed roads, as well as the opportunity to develop high-grade deposits previously undiscovered.
As outlined in the Company’s Prospectus, the focus of TNT Mines has been centred on the Aberfoyle-LutwycheKookaburra prospects.
The Lutwyche-Kookaburra vein system comprises up to six narrow but strongly mineralised veins, that are accessible via surface shafts and from existing underground development extending from the Aberfoyle mine, 350m below surface.
The combined vein system has been previously considered to offer a target comparable to the Aberfoyle mine (~400m northeast) which recorded past production 2.1 Mt of @ 0.91% Sn and 0.28% WO3*
TNT Mines has progressed the Aberfoyle Project through logging and processing two previously un-sampled diamond drill holes.
Assay results confirm narrow quartz veins logged in core are tin mineralised and correspond to veins mapped at surface and extending downward to historical underground development.

TNT MINES LIMITED
D i r e c t o r s ’ R e p o r t
Based on these recent assay results, the Company is now evaluating the best approach to undertake further work programs to evaluate the commercial potential of the Aberfoyle project
New Project Review and Evaluation
Our corporate growth strategy to seek out new complementary mining project investments and acquisition opportunities, both nationally and internationally, has gathered pace during the year.
TNT Mines board and management are focusing on the potential acquisition of a base metal or strategic metals project in Australia and/or other tier-1 mining jurisdictions with the core goal of adding significant commercial value for our shareholders.
The Board has reviewed a number of new mining project opportunities, and will continue this path until it secures a new complementary project for TNT Mines Ltd.
CORPORATE AND FINANCIAL REVIEW
TNT Mines has recorded an operating loss after income tax for the year ended 30 June 2018 of $552,503 (2017: $331,024).

7
TNT MINES LIMITED
D i r e c t o r s ’ R e p o r t

Fixed remuneration
Fixed remuneration consists of a base remuneration package, which includes directors’ fees (in the case of Directors), salaries, consulting fees and employer contributions to superannuation funds.

Key performance indicators (KPIs) are individually tailored by the Board for each director and executive officer each year and reflect an assessment of how that employee can fulfil their particular responsibilities in a way that best contributes to Company performance and shareholder wealth in that year.
Performance-linked remuneration
All employees may receive bonuses and/or share options as part of a package to retain their services and/or based on achievement of specific goals related to performance against individual KPIs and to the performance of the Company as a whole as determined by the Directors, based on a range of factors.

1. SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
The principal accounting policies adopted in the preparation of the financial statements are set out below. These policies have been consistently applied to all the years presented, unless otherwise stated. The financial statements are for TNT Mines. The financial statements are presented in the Australian currency. TNT Mines Limited is a company limited by shares, domiciled and incorporated in Australia. The financial statements were authorised for issue by the directors on 25 September 2018.
(a) Basis of accounting
The financial statements are general purpose financial statements which have been prepared in accordance with Australian Accounting Standards, other authoritative pronouncements of the Australian Accounting Standards Board, Australian Accounting Interpretations and the Corporations Act 2001.
The financial statements have been prepared on an accruals basis, are based on historical cost and except where stated do not take into account changing money values or current valuations of selected non-current assets, financial assets and financial liabilities. Cost is based on the fair values of the consideration given in exchange for assets.
The financial statements of TNT Mines comply with International Financial Reporting Standards (IFRS) as issued by the International Accounting Standards Board (IASB).
The preparation of the Statement of Profit or Loss and Other Comprehensive Income and Statement of Financial Position requires the use of certain critical accounting estimates and assumptions. It also requires management to exercise its judgement in the process of applying the Company’s accounting policies. The areas involving a higher degree of judgement or complexity, or areas where assumptions and estimates are significant to the Statement of Profit or Loss and Other Comprehensive Income and Statement of Financial Position are disclosed where appropriate.
(b) Going Concern
The financial report has been prepared on the going concern basis, which contemplates continuity of normal business activities and the realisation of assets and settlement of liabilities in the ordinary course of business. TNT Mines has a net working capital of $3,837,230 as at 30 June 2018 (30 June 2017: $1,266,978- working capital deficit) and recorded an operating loss after income tax of $552,503 (2017: $331,024) for the year then ended.
The directors have reasonable expectation that the company will have adequate resources to realise its assets in the normal business and to repay its obligations as and when they fall due for the next 12 months and therefore have prepared the financial statement on a going concern basis.
(c) Cash and cash equivalents
Cash and cash equivalents includes cash on hand, deposits held at call with financial institutions, other shortterm, highly liquid investments with original maturities of three months or less that are readily convertible to known amounts of cash and which are subject to an insignificant risk of changes in value, and bank overdrafts.
(d) Revenue and other income
Revenue is measured at the fair value of the consideration received or receivable.
Interest revenue is recognised on a time proportionate basis that takes into account the effective yield on the financial asset.
All revenue is stated net of the amount of goods and services tax (GST).

(e) Income tax
The income tax expense or revenue for the period is the tax payable on the current period’s taxable income based on the applicable income tax rate for each jurisdiction adjusted by changes in deferred tax assets and liabilities attributable to temporary differences and to unused tax losses.
The current income tax charge is calculated on the basis of the tax laws enacted or substantively enacted at the end of the reporting period in the countries where the Company’s subsidiaries and associated entities operate and generate taxable income. Management periodically evaluates positions taken in tax returns with respect to situations in which applicable tax regulation is subject to interpretation. It establishes provisions where appropriate on the basis of amounts expected to be paid to the tax authorities.
Deferred income tax is provided in full, using the liability method, on temporary differences arising between the tax bases of assets and liabilities and their carrying amounts in the consolidated financial statements. However, the deferred income tax is not accounted for if it arises from initial recognition of an asset or liability in a transaction other than a business combination that at the time of the transaction affects neither accounting nor taxable profit or loss. Deferred income tax is determined using tax rates (and laws) that have been enacted or substantially enacted by the reporting date and are expected to apply when the related deferred income tax asset is realised or the deferred income tax liability is settled.
Deferred tax assets are recognised for deductible temporary differences and unused tax losses only if it is probable that future taxable amounts will be available to utilise those temporary differences and losses.
Deferred tax liabilities and assets are not recognised for temporary differences between the carrying amount and tax bases of investments in controlled entities where the parent entity is able to control the timing of the reversal of the temporary differences and it is probable that the differences will not reverse in the foreseeable future.
Deferred tax assets and liabilities are offset when there is a legally enforceable right to offset current tax assets and liabilities and when the deferred tax balances relate to the same taxation authority. Current tax assets and tax liabilities are offset where the entity has a legally enforceable right to offset and intends either to settle on a net basis, or to realise the asset and settle the liability simultaneously.
Current and deferred tax is recognised in profit or loss, except to the extent that it relates to items recognised in other comprehensive income or directly in equity. In this case, the tax is also recognised in other comprehensive income or directly in equity, respectively.
(f) Impairment of assets
Goodwill and intangible assets that have an indefinite useful life are not subject to amortisation and are tested annually for impairment or more frequently if events or changes in circumstances indicate that they might be impaired. Other assets are reviewed for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount may not be recoverable. An impairment loss is recognised for the amount by which the asset’s carrying amount exceeds its recoverable amount. The recoverable amount is the higher of an asset’s fair value less costs to sell and value in use. For the purposes of assessing impairment, assets are grouped at the lowest levels for which there are separately identifiable cash inflows which are largely independent of the cash inflows from other assets or groups of assets (cash-generating units). Non-financial assets other than goodwill that suffered impairment are reviewed for possible reversal of the impairment at each reporting date.
(g) Exploration and evaluation expenditure
Exploration, evaluation and development expenditure incurred is capitalised in respect of each identifiable area of interest. These costs are only carried forward where the right of tenure of the area of interest is current and they are expected to be recouped through sale or the successful development of the area or, where activities in the area have not yet reached a stage that permits reasonable assessment of the existence of economically recoverable reserves.
Accumulated costs in relation to an area of interest that is abandoned or the directors decide that it is not commercial are written off in full against profit in the period in which the decision is made.
When production commences, the accumulated costs for the relevant area of interest are amortised over the life of the area according to the rate of depletion of the economically recoverable reserves.
A regular review is undertaken of each area of interest to determine the appropriateness of continuing to carry forward costs in relation to that area of interest.

(h) Investments and other financial assets
Classification
The Company classifies its investments in the following categories: financial assets at fair value through profit or loss, loans and receivables, held-to-maturity investments and available-for-sale financial assets. The classification depends on the purpose for which the investments were acquired. Management determines the classification of its investments at initial recognition and, in the case of assets classified as held-to-maturity, reevaluates this designation at each reporting date.
(i) Financial assets at fair value through profit or loss
Financial assets at fair value through profit or loss are financial assets held for trading. A financial asset is classified in this category if acquired principally for the purpose of selling in the short term. Derivatives are classified as held for trading unless they are designated as hedges. Assets in this category are classified as current assets.
(ii) Loans and receivables
Loans and receivables are non-derivative financial assets with fixed or determinable payments that are not quoted in an active market. They are included in current assets, except for those with maturities greater than 12 months after the reporting date which are classified as non-current assets. Loans and receivables are included in trade and other receivables in the statement of financial position.
(iii) Held-to-maturity investments
Held-to-maturity investments are non-derivative financial assets with fixed or determinable payments and fixed maturities that the Company’s management has the positive intention and ability to hold to maturity. If the Company were to sell other than an insignificant amount of held-to-maturity financial assets, the whole category would be tainted and reclassified as available-for-sale. Held-to-maturity financial assets are included in noncurrent assets, except for those with maturities less than 12 months from the reporting date, which are classified as current assets.
(iv) Financial liabilities
Non-derivative financial liabilities (excluding financial guarantees) are subsequently measured at amortised cost using the effective interest rate method.
Recognition and de-recognition
Regular purchases and sales of financial assets are recognised on trade-date, the date on which the Company commits to purchase or sell the asset. Investments are initially recognised at fair value plus transaction costs for all financial assets not carried at fair value through profit or loss. Financial assets carried at fair value through profit or loss are initially recognised at fair value and transaction costs are expensed to the statement of comprehensive income. Financial assets are derecognised when the rights to receive cash flows from the financial assets have expired or have been transferred and the Company has transferred substantially all the risks and rewards of ownership.
When securities classified as available-for-sale are sold, the accumulated fair value adjustments recognised in equity are included in the statement of comprehensive income as gains and losses from investment securities.
Subsequent measurement
Loans and receivables and held-to-maturity investments are carried at amortised cost using the effective interest method.
Available-for-sale financial assets and financial assets at fair value through profit or loss are subsequently carried at fair value. Gains or losses arising from changes in the fair value of the ‘financial assets at fair value through profit or loss’ category are presented in the statement of comprehensive income within other income or other expenses in the period in which they arise. Dividend income from financial assets at fair value through profit or loss is recognised in the statement of comprehensive income as part of revenue from continuing operations when the Company’s right to receive payments is established.

1. SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (Cont.)
Changes in the fair value of monetary securities denominated in a foreign currency and classified as availablefor-sale are analysed between translation differences resulting from changes in amortised cost of the security and other changes in the carrying amount of the security. The translation differences related to changes in the amortised cost are recognised in profit or loss, and other changes in carrying amount are recognised in equity. Changes in the fair value of other monetary and non-monetary securities classified as available-for-sale are recognised in equity.
Details on how the fair value of financial investments is determined are disclosed in Note 2.
Impairment
The Company assesses at each balance date whether there is objective evidence that a financial asset or group of financial assets is impaired. In the case of equity securities classified as available-for-sale, a significant or prolonged decline in the fair value of a security below its cost is considered as an indicator that the securities are impaired. If any such evidence exists for available-for-sale financial assets, the cumulative loss – measured as the difference between the acquisition cost and the current fair value, less any impairment loss on that financial asset previously recognised in profit or loss – is removed from equity and recognised in the statement of comprehensive income. Impairment losses recognised in the statement of comprehensive income on equity instruments classified as available-for-sale are not reversed through the statement of comprehensive income.
Fair value
Fair value is determined based on current bid prices for all quoted investments. Valuation techniques are applied to determine the fair value for all unlisted securities, including recent arm’s length transactions, reference to similar instruments and option pricing models.
(i) Trade creditors
These amounts represent liabilities for goods and services provided to the Company prior to the end of the financial year and which are unpaid. The amounts are unsecured and are usually paid within 30 days of recognition.
(j) Issued capital
Ordinary shares are classified as equity.
Costs directly attributable to the issue of new shares or options are shown in equity as a deduction, net of tax, from the proceeds.
(k) Provisions
Provisions for legal claims, service warranties and make good obligations are recognised when the Company has a present legal or constructive obligation as a result of past events, it is probable that an outflow of resources will be required to settle the obligation and the amount has been reliably estimated. Provisions are not recognised for future operating losses.
Where there are a number of similar obligations, the likelihood that an outflow will be required in settlement is determined by considering the class of obligations as a whole. A provision is recognised even if the likelihood of an outflow with respect to any one item included in the same class of obligations may be small.
Provisions are measured at the present value of management’s best estimate of the expenditure required to settle the present obligation at the reporting date. The discount rate used to determine the present value reflects current market assessments of the time value of money and the risks specific to the liability. The increase in the provision due to the passage of time is recognised as interest expense.

(l) Goods and Services Tax (GST)
Revenues, expenses and assets are recognised net of the amount of associated GST, unless the GST incurred is not recoverable from the taxation authority. In this case it is recognised as part of the cost of acquisition of the asset or as part of the expense.
Receivables and payables are stated inclusive of the amount of GST receivable or payable. The net amount of GST recoverable from, or payable to, the taxation authority is included with other receivables or payables in the statement of financial position.
Cash flows are presented on a gross basis. The GST components of cash flows arising from investing or financing activities which are recoverable from, or payable to the taxation authority, are presented as operating cash flows.
(m) Comparative figures
When required by accounting standards, comparative figures have been adjusted to conform to changes in presentation for the current financial year.
When TNT Mines applies an accounting policy retrospectively, makes a retrospective restatement or reclassifies items in its financial statements, a statement of financial position as at the beginning of the earliest comparative period will be disclosed.
(n) Application of new and revised Accounting Standards
Adoption of new and amended accounting standards
A number of new or amended standards became applicable for the current reporting period and the Group had to change its accounting policies as a result of the adoption of the following standards:
-
AASB 9 Financial Instruments ; and
-
AASB 15 Revenue from Contracts with Customers
The impact of the adoption of these standards and the new accounting policies are disclosed in Note 2d below. The impact of these standards, and the other new and amended standards adopted by the Group, has not had a material impact on the amounts presented in the Group’s financial statements.
(o) Changes in accounting policies
This note explains the impact of the adoption of AASB 9 Financial Instruments and AASB 15 Revenue from Contracts with Customers on the group’s financial statements and also discloses the new accounting policies that have been applied from 1 January 2018, where they are different to those applied in prior periods.
AASB 9 Financial Instruments – Impact of Adoption
Impairment of financial assets
The Group’s financial assets subject to AASB 9’s new expected credit loss model are cash and trade receivables, which arise from the provision of services and sale of goods.
The impact of the impairment requirements of AASB 9 on cash and cash equivalents has not resulted in a material impact to the financial statements.
Under AASB 9, the Group was required to revise the impairment methodology used in the calculation of its provision for doubtful debts to the expected credit loss model. This change in methodology has not had a material impact on the financial statements. The Group applies the AASB 9 simplified approach to measuring expected credit losses which uses a lifetime expected loss allowance for all trade receivables. Trade receivables are written off when there is no reasonable expectation of recovery. Indicators that there is no reasonable expectation of recovery include, amongst others, the failure or a debtor to engage in a repayment plan with the Group, and a failure to make contractual payments for a period of greater than 120 days past due.

(o) Changes in accounting policies (Cont.)
AASB 9 Financial Instruments – Accounting Policies Applied from 1 January 2018
Classification
From 1 January 2018, the Group classifies its financial assets in the following measurement categories:
-
those to be measured subsequently at fair value (either through OCI, or through profit or loss), and
-
those to be measured at amortised cost.
The classification depends on how the Group manages the financial assets and the contractual terms of the cash flows. At half year end, all of the Group’s financial assets have been classified as those to be measured at amortised cost.
Measurement
At initial recognition, the Group measures a financial asset at its fair value plus, in the case of a financial asset not at fair value through profit or loss (FVPL), transaction costs that are directly attributable to the acquisition of the financial asset. Transaction costs of financial assets carried at FVPL are expensed in profit or loss.
Impairment
From 1 January 2018, the Group assesses expected credit losses associated on a forward looking basis. For trade receivables, the Group applies the simplified approach permitted by AASB 9, which requires expected lifetime losses to be recognised from initial recognition of the receivables.
AASB 15 Revenue from Contracts with Customers – Impact of Adoption
The Group has adopted AASB 15 Revenue from Contracts with Customers from 1 January 2018 which resulted in changes to accounting policies but no adjustments to the amounts recognised in the financial statements.
AASB 15 Revenue from Contracts with Customers – Accounting policies
Group revenues consist of the following elements:
-
physical products which are sent to the customer, where revenue is recognised upon shipment or arrival of goods, dependent on the terms that have been agreed with the customer;
-
cloud services fees, which are recognised over the service period;
-
software license fees, which are recognised over the license period;
-
maintenance fees, for which contracts are generally one year with revenue recognised over the contract period; and
-
installation fees, which are recognised upon the completion of product installation.
In relation to cloud services, software licence, and maintenance fees, the Group recognises a contract liability where payments received exceed the services rendered.
The Group has no material contracts where the period between the transfer of the promised goods or services to the customer and payment by the customer exceeds one year. As a consequence, the Group does not adjust any of the transaction prices for the time value of money.

2. FINANCIAL RISK MANAGEMENT
Financial Risk Management Policies
TNT Mines activities expose it to a variety of financial risks: market risk (including currency risk, interest rate risk and price risk), credit risk and liquidity risk. TNT Mines overall risk management program focuses on the unpredictability of financial markets and seeks to minimise potential adverse effects on the financial performance of TNT Mines.
Risk management is carried out by the full Board of Directors as TNT Mines believes that it is crucial for all Board members to be involved in this process. The Managing Director, with the assistance of senior management as required, has responsibility for identifying, assessing, treating and monitoring risks and reporting to the Board on financial risk management.
Specific Financial Risk Exposures and Management
(a) Market risk
(i) Foreign exchange risk
TNT Mines does not have any material foreign exchange risk.
(ii) Price risk
Given the current level of operations, TNT Mines is not presently exposed to price risk.
(iii) Interest rate risk
TNT Mines does not have any material interest rate risk.
(b) Credit risk
TNT Mines does not have any significant concentration of credit risk.
Credit risk related to balances with banks and other financial institutions is managed by investing surplus funds in financial institutions that maintain a high credit rating.
As TNT Mines does not presently have any debtors, lending, significant stock levels or any other credit risk, a formal credit risk management policy is not maintained.
(c) Liquidity risk
TNT Mines manages liquidity risk by continuously monitoring forecast and actual cash flows and ensuring sufficient cash and marketable securities are available to meet the current and future commitments of TNT Mines. Due to the nature of TNT Mines activities, being mineral exploration, TNT Mines does not have ready access to credit facilities, with the primary source of funding being equity raisings. The Board of Directors constantly monitors the state of equity markets in conjunction with TNT Mines current and future funding requirements, with a view to initiating appropriate capital raisings as required.
The financial liabilities of TNT Mines are confined to trade and other payables and loan payable as disclosed in the statement of financial position. All trade and other payables are non-interest bearing and due within 12 months of the reporting date.
(d) Net fair value
Fair value estimation
The fair value of financial assets and financial liabilities must be estimated for recognition and measurement or for disclosure purposes. All financial assets and financial liabilities of TNT Mines at the balance date are recorded at amounts approximating their fair value.
The carrying value less impairment provision of trade receivables and payables are assumed to approximate their fair values due to their short-term nature.
The totals for each category of financial instruments, measured in accordance with AASB 139 as detailed in the accounting policies to these financial statements, are as follows:

Financial instruments measured at fair value
The financial instruments recognised at fair value in the statement of financial position have been analysed and classified using a fair value hierarchy reflecting the significance of the inputs used in the making the measurements. The fair value hierarchy consists of the following levels:
-
quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities (Level 1);
-
inputs other than quoted process included within Level 1 that are observable for the asset or liability, either directly (as prices) or indirectly (derived from prices) (Level 2); and
-
inputs for the asset or liability that are not based on observable market data (unobservable inputs) (Level 3).

(iv) Shares issued in lieu of outstanding fees @$0.24 to Andrew Drummond.
(c) Ordinary shares
Ordinary shares entitle the holder to participate in dividends and the proceeds on winding up of the Company in proportion to the number of and amounts paid on the shares held.
On a show of hands every holder of ordinary shares present at a meeting in person or by proxy, is entitled to one vote, and upon a poll each share is entitled to one vote.
Ordinary shares have no par value and the Company does not have a limited amount of authorised capital.
(d) Capital risk management
TNT Mines’s objectives when managing capital are to safeguard their ability to continue as a going concern, so that they may continue to provide returns for shareholders and benefits for other stakeholders.
Due to the nature of TNT Mines’s activities, being mineral exploration, TNT Mines does not have ready access to credit facilities, with the primary source of funding being equity raisings. Therefore, the focus of TNT Mines’s capital risk management is the current working capital position against the requirements of TNT Mines to meet exploration programmes and corporate overheads. TNT Mines’s strategy is to ensure appropriate liquidity is maintained to meet anticipated operating requirements, with a view to initiating appropriate capital raisings as required. The working capital position of TNT Mines is as follows:

Independent Auditor's Report
To the Members of TNT Mines Limited
Report on the Audit of the Financial Report
Opinion
We have audited the financial report of TNT Mines Limited (“the Company”), which comprises the statement of financial position as at 30 June 2018, the statement of profit or loss and other comprehensive income, the statement of changes in equity and the statement of cash flows for the year then ended, and notes to the financial statements, including a summary of significant accounting policies, and the directors’ declaration.
In our opinion:
-
a. the accompanying financial report of the Company is in accordance with the Corporations Act 2001, including:
-
(i) giving a true and fair view of the Company’s financial position as at 30 June 2018 and of its financial performance for the year then ended; and
-
(ii) complying with Australian Accounting Standards and the Corporations Regulations 2001.
-
b. the financial report also complies with International Financial Reporting Standards as disclosed in Note 1 (a).
Basis for Opinion
We conducted our audit in accordance with Australian Auditing Standards. Those standards require that we comply with relevant ethical requirements relating to audit engagements and plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial report is free from material misstatement. Our responsibilities under those standards are further described in the Auditor’s Responsibilities for the Audit of the Financial Report section of our report. We are independent of the Company in accordance with the auditor independence requirements of the Corporations Act 2001 and the ethical requirements of the Accounting Professional and Ethical Standards Board’s APES 110 Code of Ethics for Professional Accountants (the Code) that are relevant to our audit of the financial report in Australia. We have also fulfilled our other ethical responsibilities in accordance with the Code.
We believe that the audit evidence we have obtained is sufficient and appropriate to provide a basis for our opinion.

Key Audit Matters
Key audit matters are those matters that, in our professional judgement, were of most significance in our audit of the financial report of the current period. These matters were addressed in the context of our audit of the financial report as a whole, and in forming our opinion thereon, and we do not provide a separate opinion on these matters.

By testing the status of the Company’s tenure and planned future activities, reading board minutes and enquiries with management we assessed each area of interest for one or more of the following circumstances that may indicate impairment of the capitalised exploration costs:
-
The licenses for the rights to explore expiring in the near future or are not expected to be renewed;
-
− Substantive expenditure for further exploration in the area of interest is not budgeted or planned;
-
− Decision or intent by the Company to discontinue activities in the specific area of interest due to lack of commercially viable quantities of resources; and

Other Information
The directors are responsible for the other information. The other information comprises the information included in the Company’s annual report for the year ended 30 June 2018, but does not include the financial report and our auditor’s report thereon.
Our opinion on the financial report does not cover the other information and accordingly we do not express any form of assurance conclusion thereon.
In connection with our audit of the financial report, our responsibility is to read the other information and, in doing so, consider whether the other information is materially inconsistent with the financial report or our knowledge obtained in the audit or otherwise appears to be materially misstated.
If, based on the work we have performed, we conclude that there is a material misstatement of this other information, we are required to report that fact. We have nothing to report in this regard.
Responsibilities of the Directors for the Financial Report
The directors of the Company are responsible for the preparation of the financial report that gives a true and fair view in accordance with Australian Accounting Standards and the Corporations Act 2001 and for such internal control as the directors determine is necessary to enable the preparation of the financial report that gives a true and fair view and is free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error. In Note 1(a), the directors also state in accordance with Australian Accounting Standard AASB 101 Presentation of Financial Statements , that the financial report complies with International Financial Reporting Standards.
In preparing the financial report, the directors are responsible for assessing the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern, disclosing, as applicable, matters related to going concern and using the going concern basis of accounting unless the directors either intend to liquidate the Company or to cease operations, or has no realistic alternative but to do so.
Independent Auditor’s Report To the Members of TNT Mines Limited (Continued)
==> picture [73 x 36] intentionally omitted <==
Auditor’s Responsibilities for the Audit of the Financial Report
Our responsibility is to express an opinion on the financial report based on our audit. Our objectives are to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial report as a whole is free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error, and to issue an auditor’s report that includes our opinion. Reasonable assurance is a high level of assurance, but is not a guarantee that an audit conducted in accordance with the Australian Auditing Standards will always detect a material misstatement when it exists. Misstatements can arise from fraud or error and are considered material if, individually or in the aggregate, they could reasonably be expected to influence the economic decisions of users taken on the basis of this financial report.
As part of an audit in accordance with the Australian Auditing Standards, we exercise professional judgement and maintain professional scepticism throughout the audit. We also:
==> picture [5 x 8] intentionally omitted <==
- Identify and assess the risks of material misstatement of the financial report, whether due to fraud or error, design and perform audit procedures responsive to those risks, and obtain audit evidence that is sufficient and appropriate to provide a basis for our opinion. The risk of not detecting a material misstatement resulting from fraud is higher than for one resulting from error, as fraud may involve collusion, forgery, intentional omissions, misrepresentations, or the override of internal control.
==> picture [5 x 8] intentionally omitted <==
- Obtain an understanding of internal control relevant to the audit in order to design audit procedures that are appropriate in the circumstances, but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of the Company’s internal control.
==> picture [5 x 8] intentionally omitted <==
- Evaluate the appropriateness of accounting policies used and the reasonableness of accounting estimates and related disclosures made by the directors.
==> picture [5 x 8] intentionally omitted <==
- Conclude on the appropriateness of the directors’ use of the going concern basis of accounting and, based on the audit evidence obtained, whether a material uncertainty exists related to events or conditions that may cast significant doubt on the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern. If we conclude that a material uncertainty exists, we are required to draw attention in our auditor’s report to the related disclosures in the financial report or, if such disclosures are inadequate, to modify our opinion. Our conclusions are based on the audit evidence obtained up to the date of our auditor’s report. However, future events or conditions may cause the Company to cease to continue as a going concern.
==> picture [5 x 8] intentionally omitted <==
- Evaluate the overall presentation, structure and content of the financial report, including the disclosures, and whether the financial report represents the underlying transactions and events in a manner that achieves fair presentation.
==> picture [5 x 8] intentionally omitted <==
- Obtain sufficient appropriate audit evidence regarding the financial information of the entities or business activities within the Company to express an opinion on the financial report. We are responsible for the direction, supervision and performance of the Company audit. We remain solely responsible for our audit opinion.
We communicate with the directors regarding, among other matters, the planned scope and timing of the audit and significant audit findings, including any significant deficiencies in internal control that we identify during our audit.
Independent Auditor’s Report To the Members of TNT Mines Limited (Continued)
==> picture [73 x 36] intentionally omitted <==
We also provide the directors with a statement that we have complied with relevant ethical requirements regarding independence, and to communicate with them all relationships and other matters that may reasonably be thought to bear on our independence, and where applicable, related safeguards.
From the matters communicated with the directors, we determine those matters that were of most significance in the audit of the financial report of the current period and are therefore the key audit matters. We describe these matters in our auditor’s report unless law or regulation precludes public disclosure about the matter or when, in extremely rare circumstances, we determine that a matter should not be communicated in our report because the adverse consequences of doing so would reasonably be expected to outweigh the public interest benefits of such communication.
Report on the Remuneration Report
We have audited the Remuneration Report included in the directors’ report for the year ended 30 June 2018. The directors of the Company are responsible for the preparation and presentation of the remuneration report in accordance with s 300A of the Corporations Act 2001. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on the remuneration report, based on our audit conducted in accordance with Australian Auditing Standards.
Auditor’s Opinion
In our opinion, the Remuneration Report of the Company, for the year ended 30 June 2018, complies with section 300A of the Corporations Act 2001.

This Corporate Governance Statement is current as at 29 June 2017 and has been approved by the Board of the Company on that date.
This Corporate Governance Statement discloses the extent to which the Company will, as at the date it is admitted to the official list of the ASX, follow the recommendations set by the ASX Corporate Governance Council in its publication Corporate Governance Principles and Recommendations ( Recommendations ). The Recommendations are not mandatory, however the Recommendations that will not be followed have been identified and reasons provided for not following them along with what (if any) alternative governance practices the Company intends to adopt in lieu of the recommendation.
The Company has adopted a Corporate Governance Plan which provides the written terms of reference for the Company’s corporate governance duties.
Due to the current size and nature of the existing Board and the magnitude of the Company’s operations, the Board does not consider that the Company will gain any benefit from individual Board committees and that its resources would be better utilised in other areas as the Board is of the strong view that at this stage the experience and skill set of the current Board is sufficient to perform these roles. Under the Company’s Board Charter, the duties that would ordinarily be assigned to individual committees are currently carried out by the full Board under the written terms of reference for those committees.
The Company’s Corporate Governance Plan is available on the Company’s website at http://www.tntmines.com.au/ .
