TNT MINES LIMITED ACN 107 244 039 SUPPLEMENTARY PROSPECTUS
IMPORTANT INFORMATION
This is a supplementary prospectus ( Supplementary Prospectus ) which supplements the prospectus dated 29 June 2017 ( Prospectus ) issued by TNT Mines Limited (ACN 107 244 039) ( Company ). This Supplementary Prospectus is dated 10 July 2017 and was lodged with the ASIC on that date. The ASIC and its officers take no responsibility for the contents of this Supplementary Prospectus. This Supplementary Prospectus should be read together with the Prospectus.
Other than as set out below, all details in relation to the Prospectus remain unchanged. Terms and abbreviations defined in the Prospectus have the same meaning in this Supplementary Prospectus.
This Supplementary Prospectus will be issued with the Prospectus as an electronic prospectus, copies of which can be downloaded from the website of the Company at www.tntmines.com.au .
This is an important document and should be read in its entirety. If you do not understand it you should consult your professional advisers without delay.
1. AMENDMENTS TO THE INDEPENDENT GEOLOGIST’S REPORT
Following its review of the Prospectus, the ASIC raised queries in respect of particular disclosures in the Independent Geologist’s Report (contained in Section 5 of the Prospectus) ( Original Report ) relating to mineral resource estimates and exploration results and compliance with the Australasian Code for Reporting of Exploration Results, Mineral Resources and Ore Reserves ( JORC Code ).
To address ASIC’s queries, the following information is provided.
2. AMENDMENTS TO THE PROSPECTUS
The Prospectus is amended as follows:
2.1 Exploration Target’s
Section 2.4.1.3 of the Original Report is amended by adding a third paragraph:
“ The Exploration Target’s are conceptual in nature, there has been insufficient exploration to determine a Mineral Resource and it is uncertain if further exploration will result in the estimation of a Mineral Resource. ”
2.2 Independent Geologist’s Report
The Original Report contained in Section 5 of the Prospectus is amended with the inclusion of a JORC Code 2012 Table 1, as an Appendix 3 to the Original Report which is attached to and forms part of this Supplementary Prospectus.
This Supplementary Prospectus dated 10 July 2017 is intended to be read with the Prospectus dated 29 June 2017 issued by TNT Mines Limited (ACN 107 244 039).

Mining One has not withdrawn its consent prior to lodgement of this Supplementary Prospectus with the ASIC.
3. DIRECTORS’ AUTHORISATION
This Supplementary Prospectus is issued by the Company and its issue has been authorised by a resolution of the Directors.
In accordance with Section 720 of the Corporations Act, each Director has consented to the lodgement of this Supplementary Prospectus with the ASIC.
For and on behalf of TNT MINES LIMITED
This Supplementary Prospectus dated 10 July 2017 is intended to be read with the Prospectus dated 29 June 2017 issued by TNT Mines Limited (ACN 107 244 039).
