CHAIRMAN’S LETTER

14 February 2012

Dear Shareholders

The Carbine Tungsten Board of Directors is pleased to offer all its eligible Shareholders the opportunity to participate in a one-for-five non-renounceable Rights Issue of New Shares at an Issue price of 9 cents per Share and the placement of the shortfall of New Shares from the Rights Issue, if any (through the Top-Up Offer referred to in section 1.15).

All Shareholders registered at 8.00pm (Sydney time) on 22 February 2012 will be entitled to participate in the Rights Issue on the basis of one New Share for every five Shares held at an issue price of 9 cents per Share. If fully subscribed, the amount raised by Carbine Tungsten will be approximately $3.88 million.

The Closing Date for acceptance of the Rights Issue is 5.00pm (Sydney time) on 13 March 2012.

Due to unforeseen delays in the construction phase of the Company’s tailings re-treatment plant that was originally intended to be commissioned by the end of December 2011, the plant will not be ready for commissioning until towards the end of February 2012. These delays, and unexpected business demands on engineering and design contractors due to the mining boom, have caused cost over-runs to the original project budget, which in turn means that the Company requires additional working capital. The additional working capital will ensure the successful commissioning of the tailings re-treatment plant and continuation of the feasibility study for the second stage of development, namely the processing of approximately 12 million tonnes of previously-mined stockpiled material.

Construction of the tailings re-treatment plant is nearing completion, and a programme for commissioning and production ramp-up is about to be implemented. The Directors see no further obstacles that might prevent commissioning and bringing the plant into production from the end of February through March 2012. The first revenues are now budgeted for receipt towards the end of May 2012, after allowing for time to deliver the product to the customer.

A letter of intent has been received from Mitsubishi Corporation Unimetals Ltd to take all concentrate produced from the tailings re-treatment, should it be of acceptable grade and quality. The price received for the product is based on the monthly London Metal Bulletin published price for Ammonium Paratungstate (APT). The actual price received will be the APT price less a discount determined by the grade of the product.

Advanced discussions are being held with potential customers, financiers and strategic partners with respect to funding the final feasibility and plant construction for Stages 2 and 3 of the Mt Carbine project. Stage 2 consists of processing the stockpiles and Stage 3 will consist of hard-rock mining based on the Inferred Resource of 39 million tonnes with an average grade of 0.14% WO3, at a cut-off of 0.05% WO3.

When implemented, these projects will return the Mt Carbine tungsten mine to its former status as a world-class tungsten producer.

Four exploration drill holes have been completed during the current drilling programme, which is designed to test the dimensions of the tungsten mineralisation at Mt Carbine. The first two holes (MTCB 004 and MTCB 005) have confirmed the extension of the tungstenbearing sheeted quartz vein system by 700 metres to the northwest of the open pit. Including the open pit, this increases the total strike length of the system to approximately 1,100 metres. The third and fourth drill holes (MTCB 002 and MTCB 003) confirm that the mineralisation plunges to the north and is open at depth to the north of the present pit. The mineralisation is also still open down dip and to the south of the pit.

5

==> picture [65 x 43] intentionally omitted <==

The Board believes that this Rights Issue will ensure the successful commissioning and commencement of production from the tailings re-treatment, and that all shareholders ultimately benefit from the cash flow to be generated by this redevelopment. The Directors have decided not to seek an underwriter for the Rights Issue but will seek shareholder approval at the Extraordinary General Meeting (EGM) to place any Shortfall (that shareholders have not taken up) to other parties.

I also wish to note that the Company has been fortunate enough to appoint Mr Jim Morgan as a Non-Executive Director. Mr Morgan has over 30 years of experience in the Australian and international mining and construction industries, and brings strong project management, engineering and construction depth to the Board. Jim will take the position of Chief Executive Officer and Managing Director of the Company in early April 2012, when his present commitments are completed.

We would like to thank all Shareholders for their continuing interest and ongoing support.

Yours sincerely

COMPANY OVERVIEW

Carbine Tungsten Limited has restructured its mineral rights portfolio to concentrate on becoming a major Australian tungsten producer, based on its flagship Mt Carbine tungsten project.

A three-stage project is planned, commencing with re-treatment of the tailings, followed by re-treatment of low-grade stockpiles and then hard-rock mining.

==> picture [459 x 268] intentionally omitted <==

Aerial view of the Mt Carbine mine. The tailings re-treatment plant is between the #4 tailings dam and the Mulligan Highway from Cairns to Cooktown in the centre right of the view.

Exploration of the hard-rock resource, which presently has a JORC Inferred Resource of 39 million tonnes (Mt) at 0.14% WO3 at a cut-off grade of 0.05% WO3, has confirmed major possible extensions to known mineralisation.

Divestment of Carbine Tungsten’s other projects has been done in a manner to provide maximum benefit for shareholders.

• The copper-zinc prospects were “spun-off” into Fitzroy Resources Ltd (ASX Code: FRY), in which Carbine Tungsten retains a shareholding of approximately 20%. FRY raised $5 million and on 10 May 2011 announced early success with high-grade copper-zinc intercepts at its Develin Creek prospect.

• The gold prospects have been vended into a new Carbine Tungsten-sponsored company (Gossan Hill Gold Limited) along with two other outstanding gold prospects, Mt Adrah and Mee Maa in NSW. Mt Adrah is an altered igneous intrusion with a JORC Inferred Resource estimate of 239,000 ounces at 1.14 g/t gold to a depth of 120 metres. Mee Maa is an untested gold bearing epithermal vein system. Seed capital was raised, a Prospectus prepared and an IPO is scheduled for the first quarter 2012.

• Joint ventures have been announced on the Crystal Mount porphyry gold-molybdenum and Constance Range Iron Ore prospects, while a new tin exploration target at the Tara prospect has been announced, which the Company plans to drill-test itself.

Purpose of the Offer

This Rights Issue is to provide funding for the commissioning of the tailings re-treatment plant, to further explore the Mt Carbine tenements and the Tara tin project, the final feasibility study for processing the low grade stockpiles and working capital. Assuming that the Offer is fully subscribed, the Company intends to expend the funds raised in the Offer as follows:

ACTIVITY	BUDGETED AMOUNT
Feasibility study for low-grade stockpiles	1,240,000
Construction and commissioning of tailings processing plant	1,110,000
Corporate costs and working capital	884,439
Exploration drilling at Mt Carbine and Tara	500,000
Expenses of the issue	150,000
Total	$3,884,439

Tungsten

Tungsten prices are quoted in metric tonne units (MTU) of WO3 (one MTU is 1% of a metric tonne and contains 10kg of WO3). Prices are mostly quoted for the refined products, being APT or for Tungsten Oxide, which are intermediate products required to produce granular tungsten carbide. The most recent prices for APT are US$440-450 per MTU FOB Chinese ports (18 January 2012, Jiangshi Tungsten Industry Group) and US$44,000 per tonne of tungsten metal contained in APT.

Global demand for tungsten concentrates has increased beyond the producers’ abilities to supply and the market is now very tight. In particular, market intelligence indicates that wolframite concentrate is in particularly short supply. This is encouraging because the Mt Carbine deposit traditionally produced concentrates in the ratio four parts wolframite to one part scheelite. China, the US and Europe have all declared tungsten as a strategic metal, and China, who formerly dominated the world tungsten export market, has become a net importer of tungsten concentrates and APT. This combination has led to a dramatic increase in prices for both APT and Tungsten Oxide.

Carbine Tungsten’s own research into historical tungsten prices indicates a very sensitive relationship between the tungsten price, and supply and demand balance. The chart below shows that since 1900, the tungsten price has reacted sharply to sudden reductions in supply. The price increased sharply at the outbreak of World War 1 when Austria, then a major producer, was taken out of the global trade, and similarly at the outbreak of the Korean War, when Korea was a major supplier and the war removed it from the global trade. When China re-entered the global trade in the mid 1980s and swamped the global trade with tungsten products, mostly produced by artisinal mining, the price fell and stayed down for almost 20 years. China is now a net importer of tungsten.

The other important feature of this analysis is that during major recessions (such as in the 1970s) and the Great Depression, the tungsten price increased steadily because no new production came onto the market during these periods. Carbine Tungsten’s assessment of potential competitors is, that apart from Mt Carbine, no new tungsten production is likely to significantly affect the global trade until 2014 at the earliest. Based on the historical performance of the price, even if forecasts of a period of subdued global growth prove correct, Carbine Tungsten expects that in the short term, the tungsten price will continue to increase.

Off-Taker Agreement

Carbine Tungsten announced on 24 January 2012 that following discussions with Mitsubishi Corporation Unimetals Ltd (MCU), MCU has provided the Company with a Letter of Intent (LOI) to purchase all concentrates produced from the Mt Carbine Tailings re-treatment project, subject to the product being acceptable. The price paid by MCU for the product will be based on the monthly London Metal Bulletin price for Ammonium Paratungstate, less a discount depending on the grade and mineral content of the tungsten concentrate.

Carbine Tungsten’s Strategy for Development of the Mt Carbine Operations

Carbine Tungsten’s goals are to become a major tungsten producer and develop a reputation as a reliable long-term supplier of tungsten concentrate. To achieve these goals, Carbine Tungsten intends to commence tungsten concentrate production from Mt Carbine with re-treatment of the tailings dumps, followed by processing of the low-grade stockpiles and then the re-opening of the hard-rock mine.

Tailings Re-Treatment

The construction of the tailings re-treatment plant is nearing completion, with the last shipment of equipment expected on site in mid-February 2012. Commissioning of the plant will commence shortly with plant components and modules being commissioned dry or on process water. The construction contractor is expected to phase out of the construction during February 2012 and a handover to Carbine Tungsten staff.

The full complement of 12 qualified operators has been recruited by Carbine Tungsten, and these people are at present seconded to the site construction contractor in order to expedite construction and to gain hands on knowledge of the plant so that they will take key roles in plant commissioning and operation.

Process water is now supplied from the water retention dam on site and power is initially being generated from diesel-powered generators. Ergon Energy has been contracted to supply electricity from the regional network in the near future.

Re-Treatment of Low-Grade Stockpiles

The long history of ore sorting by Queensland Wolfram Limited, the mine operator during the 1970s and 1980s, and Carbine Tungsten’s recent trials using a state-of-the-art X-ray ore sorter indicate that the Mt Carbine ore is ideally suited to ore sorting, with far superior pre-concentration ratios (eight times upgrade) than achieved from ore sorter trials reported for most other tungsten deposits throughout the world. This is presumed to be related to the unusual occurrence of both wolframite and scheelite in the Mt Carbine ore.

The Company intends to fast-track test work and feasibility studies on the pre-concentrates obtained from the ore sorting trials to obtain a final process flow sheet, capital and operating cost estimates for re-treating the low-grade stockpiles. This project will provide at least seven years production at the planned rate of 100tpm WO3 in concentrate, but options to accelerate the processing of stockpiles to a higher production rate are now under consideration.

Hard Rock Mining

The immediate plan is to carry out the exploration required to delineate the full extent of the hard-rock mineralisation, with the ultimate goal of a final feasibility study and plan to re-open the hard-rock tungsten mine at an optimum scale. The intention is to commence production from the hard-rock mine in time to increase the market share before the low-grade stockpile processing comes to an end.

Exploration Potential

Tungsten mineralisation at Mt Carbine defined by old workings and recent surface geochemical surveys extends for a distance of over 1 kilometre along a southeast-northwest trend with the existing open pit, which is 400 metres long and situated approximately in its centre.

Sheeted quartz vein tungsten deposits similar to Mt Carbine in other parts of the world (southern China, southern England and Burma) typically amount to more than 100Mt at a similar bulk grade to Mt Carbine, whereas drilling to-date at Mt Carbine has defined a JORC

10

==> picture [65 x 43] intentionally omitted <==

Inferred Resource estimate of 39Mt at 0.14% WO3 at a cut-off of 0.05% WO3 (refer ASX announcement 15 October 2010).

Four holes in the planned exploration diamond core drilling programme to test possible extensions to the sheeted quartz vein-hosted tungsten mineralisation at Mt Carbine were completed for a total of 2,125 metres drilling. The first two holes (MTCB 004 and MTCB 005) have confirmed the extension of the tungsten sheeted quartz vein system by 700 metres to the northwest of the open pit. Including the open pit, this increases the total strike length of the system to approximately 1,100 metres. The second two holes, MTCB 002 and MTCB 003 indicate the downward northerly plunge of mineralisation to the north of the pit.

The third hole (MTCB 002) intersected sheeted quartz vein-hosted mineralisation below 425 metres, in a position suggesting the main ore body plunges to the north.

A number of tungsten prospects have also been identified within the exploration tenements surrounding the mining leases, including sheeted quartz-tin-tungsten veining at Mt Holmes and scheelite-bearing skarn mineralisation associated with historical workings extending to the southeast from Mt Carbine. The Company is planning to systematically evaluate these prospects in conjunction with ongoing hard-rock resource definition drilling within the Mining Leases.

The $500,000 budget for exploration will include drilling of the Mining Leases and the adjacent Exploration Permits during the coming dry season, as well as drilling the Tara tin prospect in NSW.

1.16 Taxation Implications

Shareholders should be aware that there may be taxation implications in relation to Entitlements under the Rights Issue. These taxation implications will vary between different Shareholders. Shareholders should consult their professional tax adviser.

Shareholders should seek, and rely on, their own taxation advice regarding an investment in the Company. Neither the Company, nor any of its officers, employees, agents and advisers accepts any liability or responsibility with respect to the taxation consequences connected with the Rights Issue.

1.17 CHESS

The Company participates in the security transfer system known as CHESS. CHESS is operated by ASTC, a wholly owned subsidiary of ASX, in accordance with the Listing Rules and the ASTC Settlement Rules. Under CHESS, Eligible Shareholders will not receive a share certificate but will receive a statement of holding of New Shares. If you are broker sponsored, and you take up all or part of your Entitlement, ASTC will send you a CHESS statement.

The CHESS statement will set out the number of New Shares issued to you under this Offer Document and provide details of your holder identification number and the participant identification number of the sponsor.

If you are registered on the issuer sponsored sub-register, and you take up all or part of your Entitlement, your statement will be despatched by the Share Registry and will contain the number of New Shares issued to you under this Offer Document and a security holder reference number.

A CHESS statement or issuer-sponsored statement will routinely be sent to holders of Shares at the end of any calendar month during which the balance of their holding of Shares changes. Holders of Shares may request a statement at any other time. However, a charge may be made for additional statements.

1.18 Privacy Act

2. Use of Proceeds and Effect of the Rights Issue on the Company’s Capital

2.1 Use of Proceeds of the Rights Issue

It is intended that these funds (together with other funds to be raised by the Company by way of the Placement of any Shortfall) will be used for final purchase and commissioning of the plant for re-treatment of tailings, final feasibility studies on processing of the low grade stockpiles, and hard rock exploration at Mt Carbine, exploration on the Tara tin project and general working capital until cashflow from sales of concentrate is realised.

The costs of the Rights Issue will also be met out of the proceeds.

2.2 Rights Issue on the Company

The principal effect of the Rights Issue, assuming all New Shares offered under the Offer Document are issued, will be to:

• (a) increase the Company's cash reserves initially by approximately A$3.88 million (before deducting the costs of the Rights Issue) immediately after completion of the Rights Issue;

• (b) provide the Company with additional capital for the purposes referred to in Section 2.1 of this Offer Document; and

• (c) increase the number of Shares on issue from 215,802,149 Shares as at the date of this Offer Document to 258,962,579 Shares (see Section 2.3 of this Offer Document),

assuming none of the Options currently on issue are exercised prior to the Record Date.

16

==> picture [65 x 43] intentionally omitted <==

Eligible Shareholders who take up their Entitlement will not have their holdings diluted by the Rights Issue.

At the time of making this Offer the Company is planning to have a meeting of shareholders to seek approval for the issue of:

• (a) a Placement of any Shortfall shares to institutional, professional, sophisticated and other investors to whom disclosure under Part 6D.2 of the Corporations Act is not required; and

• (b) a Placement of any Shortfall shares to any Director or their associates, as participation in any Shortfall under the Rights Issue;

The above arrangements will result in a dilution of existing shareholders at the time of the Placement and issue of shares under those arrangements.

Any New Shares that are not taken up as part of the Offer will be available to be part of a placement of the Shortfall. The holding of any Shareholder who does not exercise all of their rights under the Entitlement will be diluted.

2.3 Capital Structure

Once the Rights Issue is fully subscribed, the effect of the Rights Issue on the capital structure of the Company will be as follows:

of the Company will be as follows:
	Number
Shares currently on issue	215,802,149
Number of Shares to be issued under this Offer Document (subject to rounding)	43,160,430
Total Shares on issue after the completion of the Rights Issue	258,962,579

The above assumes no Options are exercised prior to the Record Date.

Eligible Shareholders who take up their full Entitlements will not have their shareholdings diluted as a result of the Rights Issue. Eligible Shareholders who do not participate in full or at all will have their holdings diluted and the holdings of Excluded Shareholders will be diluted. See also the description in Section 2.2 of this Offer Document for certain arrangements that will dilute the holdings of existing shareholders.

Any New Shares that are not taken up by an Eligible Shareholder will be available to be part of a placement to be made through brokers.

2.4 Options on Issue

There are currently 4,560,870 Options on issue. Each Option entitles the holder, upon payment of the applicable exercise price, to subscribe for one Share.

Details of these Options are:

Exercise Price (cents)	Expiry Date of Options	Number of Options as at 14 Feb 2012
A$0.445	30 November 2012	1,260,870
A$0.295	30 November 2012	400,000
A$0.345	30 November 2013	1,500,000
A$0.145	17 November 2014	450,000
A$0.195	17 November 2014	950,000

17

==> picture [65 x 43] intentionally omitted <==

Only if the Options have been exercised and the shares issued before the Record Date will these Shares participate in the Rights Issue. The number of New Shares issued may, therefore, increase if some or all of these Options are exercised prior to the Record Date. If all of the Options that can be exercised are exercised, the number of Shares on issue prior to the New Shares being issued will increase by 4,560,870.

4. Risks

In accepting their Entitlements under the Rights Issue, Shareholders will be subscribing for New Shares in Carbine Tungsten. There are risks involved in making this investment. This Section of the Offer Document identifies the major areas of risk associated with an investment in Carbine Tungsten, but should not be taken as an exhaustive list of the risk factors to which the Company and its Shareholders are exposed. Shareholders should refer to announcements made by the Company to the ASX to ensure they understand the operations of the Company and appreciate the risks involved with investing in the Company.

4.1 General Risks

(a) Investment Risk

The New Shares to be issued pursuant to this Rights Issue should be considered speculative. They carry no guarantee as to payment of dividends, return of capital or market value. The prices at which the New Shares trade on ASX may be above or

19

==> picture [65 x 43] intentionally omitted <==

below the issue price paid for the New Shares. While the Directors commend the Rights Issue, Shareholders must make their own assessment of the likely risks and determine whether accepting their Entitlement is appropriate to their own circumstances.

(b) Share Market Risk

The Company has applied to the ASX for quotation of the New Shares. Share market conditions may affect the listed securities regardless of the operating performance of the Company. Many factors will affect the market price of the securities including local and international stock markets, movements in interest rates, commodity prices and currency fluctuations, general economic outlook and investor sentimentality generally. The market price of the New Shares may fall as well as rise.

(c) Availability of Capital Risk

The ability of the Company to access debt and/or raise equity as, when and if required will be influenced by many factors and capital may not be available on commercially acceptable terms or may not be available at all.

(d) Economic Factors and Government Risk

The future viability of the Company is also dependent on a number of factors affecting performance of all industries, including, but not limited to, the following:

• general economic conditions in Australia and its major trading partners;

• changes in government policies, taxation and other laws;

• the strength of the equity markets in Australia and throughout the world, and in particular investor sentiment towards the commodities (resources) sector;

• movement in, or outlook on, interest rates and inflation rates;

• currency exchange rate fluctuations;

• changes in demand for, and sales pricing over, the short, medium and long terms for commodities proposed to be produced and sold by the Company (particularly tungsten and coal); and

• natural disasters, social upheaval or war in Australia or overseas.

(e) Exploration, Evaluation and Development Risks

Exploration, mine project development and mining contain elements of significant risk. The future success of the Company, like all exploration and mining companies, will be heavily dependent upon a number of factors many of which are beyond the control of the Company. Such risk factors include:

• maintenance of tenure and access to the Company’s tenements and the granting of any mining tenements and approvals required for the conduct of mining activities;

• reliance on key personnel, including the Directors, and ongoing access to competent management and technical personnel;

• the discovery, confirmation and exploitation of economically recoverable ore reserves on the Company’s tenements or any other tenements that may be acquired in the future. Exploration of the Company’s existing exploration tenements may be unsuccessful, resulting in a reduction of the value of those tenements, diminution in the cash reserves of the Company and possible relinquishment of the exploration and mining tenements;

• the calculation and interpretation of resource estimates are by their nature expressions of judgement based on knowledge, experience and industry practice. Estimates, which were valid when originally calculated, may alter significantly through additional fieldwork or when new information or techniques

20

==> picture [65 x 43] intentionally omitted <==

become available. This may result in alterations to development and mining plans, which may in turn adversely affect the Company’s operations;

• financial failure or default by a participant in any joint venture or other contractual relationship to which the Company is, or may become a party;

• mechanical failure or breakdown of mining or drilling plant and equipment or mine structure resulting in significant delays;

• adverse weather conditions, accidents or industrial disputes over a prolonged period adversely affecting mining activities and the earning of revenues;

• industrial disputation in Australia and overseas; and

• adverse changes in government policies or legislation affecting mining and exploration activities.

(f)

Title Risks and Native Title Risks

Interests in tenements in Australia are governed by the respective state legislation and are evidenced by the granting of licences or leases. Each licence or lease is for a specific term and carries with it annual expenditure and reporting commitments, as well as other conditions requiring compliance. Consequently, the Company could lose title to or its interest in tenements if licence conditions are not met or if insufficient funds are available to meet expenditure commitments as and when they arise.

Commonwealth and State legislation obliges the Company to identify and protect sites of significance to Aboriginal custom and tradition. Some sites of significance may be identified within the tenements. It is, therefore, possible that one or more sites of significance will exist in an area that the Company considers to be prospective. The Company’s policy is to carry out clearance surveys prior to conducting exploration, which would cause a disturbance to the land surface.

The current and future assets of the Company may be subject to land claims or native title claims by indigenous people although Native Title on the Mining Leases at Mt Carbine has been extinguished by deed of grant. Should this occur, the Company's ability to conduct exploration and/or mining activities may be affected, which may have a material adverse effect on the Company's financial performance.

4.2 Risks Specific to the Company

There are also a number of specific risks associated with the Company, which may adversely affect the Company’s financial position, prospects and price of its listed securities.

• (a) In particular, and without loss of generality, the Company believes there are no risks to the tailings operations and Carbine Tungsten can commence mining activities immediately.

• (b) Production from the mining of waste dumps is due to be in production in 2012-2013 and is subject to necessary amendments to the agreement with Mt Carbine Quarries that define boundaries to where Carbine Tungsten and Mt Carbine carry out their respective operations. Carbine Tungsten has a pre-emptive right to purchase Mt Carbine Quarries and the Mining Leases, over which Carbine Tungsten has a sub-lease agreement giving it rights to produce all metals from the Mining Leases. However, in the event that Carbine Tungsten has not purchased Mt Carbine Quarries it may not be able to provide the Mining Leases as security if any debt financing arrangement is required.

• (c) There is a risk that the amendments to the plan of operations required for mining in the pit will not be approved by the relevant regulatory authorities.

• (d) There is a risk that the Shortfall Placement may not approved by the shareholders at the general meeting of shareholders that is expected to be held in late April 2012. If the

21

==> picture [65 x 43] intentionally omitted <==

placement is not approved this may adversely affect the Company’s financial position, prospects and share price.

4.3 Speculative Nature of Investment

The above list of risk factors ought not to be taken as exhaustive of the risks faced by the Company or by investors in the Company. The above factors, and others not specifically referred to above, may in the future materially affect the financial performance of the Company and the value of the New Shares offered under this Rights Issue. Therefore, the New Shares to be issued pursuant to this Rights Issue carry no guarantee with respect to the payment of dividends, returns of capital or the market value of those New Shares. Potential investors should consider that investment in the Company is speculative and should consult their professional advisors before deciding whether to apply for New Shares in the Company.

Shareholders should consult their stockbroker, solicitor, accountant or other financial adviser if they are in any doubt as to the value of the Rights Issue and in particular in relation to taxation implications.

5. Additional Information

The Company intends to enter into the agreements pursuant to which the brokers will be asked to place the Shortfall of the Offer on the terms and conditions to be agreed at the time. The Company will pay the brokers a fee for providing placement equity raising services with respect to the Placement of the Shortfall under the Offer.
