Pan Asia Metals Limited Directors' report 30 June 2021
==> picture [87 x 9] intentionally omitted <==
The directors present their report, together with the financial statements, on the consolidated entity (referred to hereafter as the 'consolidated entity') consisting of Pan Asia Metals Limited (referred to hereafter as the 'company' or 'parent entity') and the entities it controlled at the end of, or during, the half-year ended 30 June 2021.
Directors
The following persons were directors of Pan Asia Metals Limited during the whole of the financial half-year and up to the date of this report, unless otherwise stated:
Mr Paul Lock Mr David Hobby Mr David Docherty Mr Thanasak Chanyapoon Mr Ian B Mitchell Mr Roger Jackson
Principal activities
Pan Asia Metals Limited (Pan Asia) is a Singapore registered Asian oriented minerals exploration company focused on the identification and development of battery and critical metals assets situated in low cost environments proximal to advanced industrial centres. The Company places emphasis on assets which present it an opportunity to move beyond the mine gate and value add.
Review of operations
The loss for the Company after providing for income tax amounted to US$667,168 (30 June 2020: US$631,600).
The net assets of the Company decreased by US$810,419 to US$7,799,889 as at 30 June 2021 (31 December 2020: US$8,610,308).
Working capital, being current assets less current liabilities, decreased by US$1,193,096 to US$851,319 (31 December 2020: US$2,044,415). The Company had net cash outflows from operating activities for the period of US$579,416 (30 June 2020: US$278,095 cash outflow). The total cash and cash equivalents at the 30 June 2021 amounted to US$1,247,616 (31 December 2020: US$2,417,703).
Activities
During the period Pan Asia Metals Limited’s (Pan Asia) exploration activities initially focused on drilling at the Khao Soon Tungsten Project (KSTP) before shifting focus to drilling at the Reung Kiet Lithium Project (RKLP). Both projects are significant assets. KSTP is a significant historical tungsten producer and modern exploration has discovered potentially world-class, district scale tungsten mineralisation across numerous prospects. Reconnaissance diamond drilling by Pan Asia has intersected robust widths and grades associated with strong surface anomalies, from which Exploration Targets have been estimated. RKLP contains a collection of small to medium scale historical alluvial and eluvial tin mines. Of specific interest to Pan Asia are the Bang I Tum and Reung Kiet prospects, which contain pegmatites that host lithium mineralisation. Reconnaissance diamond drilling by Pan Asia has intersected extensive pegmatite swarms at both prospects, all containing lepidolite and/or muscovite with accessory tin and tantalum mineralisation.
Both projects are shaping up very well with exploration results in line with Pan Asia's expectations. Pan Asia’s objective is to continue drilling at RKLP with the aim of reporting a Mineral Resource in accordance with the JORC Code 2012 later in 2021, with a Scoping Study anticipated soon after. Once a Mineral Resource has been defined at RKLP Pan Asia will consider moving the drilling rig and crew back to KSTP with the aim of further drilling to report a Mineral Resource. During the period the Company also considered several opportunities which meet its stated strategic objectives, all such opportunities are located in Asia and would complement the Company’s project portfolio.
Objectives
Pan Asia’s objective is to identify and develop battery and critical metals projects which have the potential to be situated in the lower third of the cost curve and which are situated in low cost jurisdictions proximal to advanced industrial centres. This offers Pan Asia two key advantages:
-
i. lower cost projects have more robust economics, and therefore can weather the commodity price cycle; and
-
ii. for lower cost projects with the right minerology and which are proximal to advanced industrial centres, there is greater potential for value adding, which in-turn can soften the amplification of the underlying commodity cycle and result in a greater diversity of revenue streams. This is the reason Pan Asia focuses on project opportunities in Asia.

Strategy
Pan Asia focuses on Asia for both geological and economic reasons, with Pan Asia’s primary focus currently on Southeast Asia. Three of the Company’s projects are located in the Thai section of the Southeast Asian Tin-Tungsten Belt, which extends from Myanmar in the north through Thailand and Peninsular Malaysia to the Tin Islands in the south. This belt is appealing due to the occurrence of a suite of battery and critical metals associated with granite related tin, tungsten, lithium, tantalum, niobium, rubidium, cesium, rare earths and other rare metals. There has been very little modern exploration and the belt contains some of the largest historical tin producing districts in the world, particularly Southern Thailand and much of Peninsula Malaysia.
Operating in Asia gives the Company access to modern industrial economies with globally competitive cost environments, and the fastest growing and most populous region on earth. The Company’s strategy is simple, we seek to secure exploration and development assets which have the potential to be positioned in the lowest or leading third of the cost curve and which position the Company for downstream value adding opportunities. Cost curve positioning is paramount in our decision-making, as assets positioned further up the cost curve are generally more difficult to finance and develop. Regardless of the size or grade of an asset, if finance cannot be secured then the asset is worth relatively little in the Company’s opinion.
Value adding mine output will offer the Company better and more consistent profit margins and a larger footprint of customers, and exposure to new opportunities. For critical metals such as tungsten and battery metals such as lithium, value adding can be incorporated into a feasibility study if the geology, geography and cost environment is right.
Markets
The key markets of most concern to Pan Asia are lithium and tungsten. There have been substantial positive moves in both markets during the period.
Battery grade lithium carbonate (Li2CO3) prices on an ex-works basis China, increased from a 12-month low of US$5,850/t in July 2020 to a 12-month high of US$13,970/t in June. Similarly, lithium hydroxide (LiOH) on an ex-works basis China was also very strong, increasing from a 12-month low of US$7,650/t in August 2020 to a 12-month high of US$14,950/t in July.

Ammonium paratungstate (APT) is the benchmark price used for tungsten trioxide (WO3) concentrates. WO3 concentrates are priced at a ~18-35% discount to the APT price, the discount is governed by a number of factors including market conditions, geography and the quality of the concentrate. The APT price on a Free on Board (FOB) basis has increased by ~41% from a 12-month low of US$20,500/t in July 2020 to US$28,900/t in July this year.

COVID 19
During the period Thailand experienced ongoing Covid infections following an outbreak in late 2020. For safety and health reasons Pan Asia’s Bangkok based administration staff have been working from home as necessary and at their election for most of the period. The risk of infection for Pan Asia’s field staff is considerably lower but still exists. Pan Asia’s staff conduct their activities with caution and testing protocols are in place for staff entering or re-entering the province. Pan Asia’s field employees have received Covid vaccinations. The Company did not experience any disruptions to its field activities during the period.
Significant changes in the state of affairs
There were no significant changes in the state of affairs of the consolidated entity during the financial half-year.
Matters subsequent to the end of the financial half-year
No matter or circumstance has arisen since 30 June 2021 that has significantly affected, or may significantly affect the consolidated entity's operations, the results of those operations, or the consolidated entity's state of affairs in future financial years.

A review of a half-year financial report consists of making enquiries, primarily of persons responsible for financial and accounting matters, and applying analytical and other review procedures. A review is substantially less in scope than an audit conducted in accordance with Australian Auditing Standards and consequently does not enable us to obtain assurance that we would become aware of all significant matters that might be identified in an audit. Accordingly, we do not express an audit opinion.
