September 2018 Quarter Report

Highlights

Great Pyramid Exploration Program

  • First diamond drill hole (18GPD001) completed at Great Pyramid to 320.5 metres depth

  • Visual observations confirm a substantial veining & alteration system typical of previously reported tin mineralisation

  • Alteration remains open at depth in the direction drilled

  • Hole has been logged and processed in Hobart facilities with results to be provided shortly

New Project Opportunities Reviewed

  • Review continues on a number of potential new mining project investment opportunities

  • Focus on base metals, precious and strategic metals projects in Australia, North America and tier-1 mining jurisdictions, to complement the current project portfolio

Well-funded

  • Net cash at bank $3.6m as at 30 September 2018

TNT Mines Ltd (ASX: TIN) (“TNT Mines” or “Company”) today announces its quarterly activities report for the period to 30th September 2018.

Commenting on the September Quarter, TNT Mines Chairman Brett Mitchell said:

“First drilling at Great Pyramid during the quarter was successfully completed with visual observations from the first diamond drill hole confirming a substantial veining and alteration system typical of previously reported tin mineralisation.

“We are currently in the early stages of this drilling program and will release geological findings and assay results shortly.

“Our review of new prospective, complementary mining project investments and acquisition opportunities continues. We are focussing on base metal and strategic metals projects (like tungsten), in Australia and other tier-1 mining jurisdictions, for the opportunity to add significant commercial value for our shareholders.”

Great Pyramid Drilling

During the quarter, the company completed drilling the initial diamond drill hole (18GPD001) at Great Pyramid to a total depth of 320.5 meters.

The hole confirms Great Pyramid represents a substantial alteration system, with silicification extending well beyond limits of past drilling. The system remains open at depth in the direction drilled.

Great Pyramid is characterised by stacked quartz veinlets in a folded and silicified sandstone, quartzite and shale sequence. Field mapping conducted by TNT Mines has shown previous angled drilling at Great Pyramid was sub-parallel to the dominant vein orientation and potentially ineffective.

18GPD001 was designed to cut veining closer to 90 degrees (Figure 2), and within optimal brittle host rocks.

Table 1: Collar details diamond drill hole 18GPD001

For much of the 320.5 metres, the drill hole remained in prospective medium-grained sandstone or quartzite host rocks with lesser fine-grained to very fine-grained sandstones, shale and mudstone units increasing toward deeper parts of the hole. The oxidised and partly-oxidised portion of the hole (surface to ~100m) has a strongly ferruginous fracture set reflecting oxidised sulphidic veinlets (Image 1).

Throughout the fresh-rock section, zones of silicification and quartz-pyrite veinlets were present within sandstone units (Image 2).

The fresh rock material had pyrite-arsenopyrite sulphide alteration with occasional coarse-grained cassiterite also observed (Image 3).

Sphalerite and chalcopyrite were also present within more mineralised intervals. The style of veining, alteration and sulphide mineralisation in fresh-rock material is consistent with historically reported mineralisation at this prospect.

Since its IPO in November 2017, field work has generated quality drill targets at the Great Pyramid tin deposit, where the Company sees strong potential for locating additional tin veining within a significant body of silicification and alteration.

[email protected] |www.tntmines.com.au

==> picture [47 x 48] intentionally omitted <==

The deposit has a JORC 2012 compliant Inferred Mineral Resource estimate of 5.2Mt at 0.20% Sn (at a 0.10% Sn cut-off grade).

Inferred Resources lie within 45m from surface, and historical drilling indicates the mineralised system is not constrained laterally or vertically and there are some indications that metal content may increase with depth.

Logging and core processing is currently underway and the Company expects to have the results to hand and released to the market in the coming weeks.

Lutwyche - Kookaburra

During the September quarter period, the Company continued to evaluate optimal programs to progress Lutwyche – Kookaburra prospect as well as other prospects on the Aberfoyle licence.
