Operations Update – Priority Exploration Programs at Storeys Creek Tungsten Project

TNT Mines Ltd (ASX:TIN, or “Company”) is pleased to confirm for shareholders that the Company has been making material progress on key corporate and operational issues since listing, positioning it for a strong start to 2018.

The Board has been working over the past few months to ensure all its Tasmanian project tenements are in good standing following the completion of the acquisition on 1 November 2017, ahead of the first material work programs in Q1 2018. The Aberfoyle exploration licence (EL27/2004) was renewed in early December, whilst Great Pyramid (RL2/2009) was renewed during the September Quarter.

The Board is currently finalising plans to commence its first material exploration program on the ground around the Storey’s Creek Tungsten Mine, which is the Company’s priority work program for H1 2018. The Storey’s Creek Tungsten Mine was a high-grade mining operation that produced over 1.1MT of ore at ~1.09% WO3 1 over the course of its operation, which is a high-grade operation by current and historical peer operations globally. High grade tungsten is currently in limited supply, and is used extensively in strengthening steel as it has the highest melting point of any metal.

The Board has resolved to make its immediate priority to explore for potential high-grade extensions or repetitions of the Storey’s Creek Mine orebody. As part of the due diligence and fine tuning the first work programs to commence in early 2018, Directors Nick Castleden and Michael Jardine travelled to Tasmania during December 2017 to visit the projects and finalise plans for these priority exploration work programs.

Activities scheduled for early 2018 include the completion of logging and sampling of three diamond drillholes that were previously drilled but not processed at the Lutwyche tin-tungsten target area. Lutwyche is a vein array close to the historic Aberfoyle tin mine (2.1 Mt of @ 0.91% Sn and 0.28% WO3), but with a similar orientation to Storey’s Creek veins. Visual inspection of core indicates that the drilling intersected mineralised veins and veinlets.

Mapping and data compilation will also be carried out at the Great Pyramid and Royal George tin prospects, with the aim of identifying optimum drill sites for testing deeper sections of the mineralised systems. Royal George is a greisen style orebody cutting granite situated on the Aberfoyle licence, and a past production profile of 170,000t @ 0.65% Sn. Disseminated sulphides are reported extending for up to 20m into wall rock around tin lodes (see ASXIN prospectus dated 1[st] November 2017), presenting a potential bulk tonnage target.

Unmarketable Parcel Buyback – Now Completed

In early January 2018, the Board announced the successful completion of the Unmarketable Parcel Buyback, to purchase and sell the shares of all holders of less than $500 in total to minimise the ongoing administration and share registry related costs to the Company. This process has been completed reducing 5,327 Shareholders from the register. The Company has ~660 shareholders and it is estimated by the Board to have saved approximately $200,000 per annum.
