REVIEW OF OPERATIONS
DETAILS
INVESTMENT IN EDEN INNOVATIONS LTD (ASX Code: EDE)
As at 31 December 2016 Tasman through its wholly owned subsidiary, Noble Energy Pty Ltd, held 493,198,298 fully paid shares in Eden (representing 39% of the total issued shares of Eden) and 101,359,779 EDEO options representing 47% of the issued EDEO options. Based on the closing prices on the ASX of EDE ($0.23) and EDEO ($0.195) on 31/12/16, this investment had a market value of $133 million, which is equivalent to 34.9 cents for every currently issued TAS share.
The board of Tasman believes there is potentially significant further upside in its investment in Eden and as a major part of Tasman’s investment strategy it intends to continue to hold the Eden shares and options as a long term investment.
The Highlights of progress made by Eden during the period are as follows:
EdenCrete®
-
ASTM C494 “S” Test Programme for EdenCrete®, which over a 12 month period measured the changes in performance of a standard concrete mix when EdenCrete® was added, has been successfully completed. The final compressive strength test of concrete continued the earlier trend and showed an impressive 37% increase in compressive strength at 365 days, compared with identical concrete of the same age without EdenCrete®.
-
Eden received and shipped its first European order for 1,000 gallons of EdenCrete®, worth US$25,000.
-
More than 30 commercial trials have commenced or are scheduled to occur in 2017 across USA for many possible applications, including:
-
Pervious concrete
-
Pre-cast / pre-stressed bridge beams
-
Other pre-cast applications
-
Ready mix concrete
-
Low shrinkage concrete suitable for dams
-
Highly abrasion resistant concrete
-
Shotcrete
-
Additional trials for a range of possible customers and applications are expected to continue to occur on an ongoing basis as an integral part of the process of securing new customers.
-
Progress was made with both Georgia Department of Transportation (“GDOT”) and Metropolitan Atlanta Rapid Transit Authority (“MARTA”) towards use of EdenCrete® in projects which resulted in the first contract for a GDOT repair project occurring in 2017.
-
Applications made to a number of other US State Departments of Transport (“DOTs”) for approval to use EdenCrete® on highway projects, and also for under NTPEP, the federal DOT testing process. EdenCrete® has since the end of 2016 been approved for use by both the Tennessee and Arkansas DOTs.
-
Installation of first on-site bulk EdenCrete® storage / dispensing equipment in Denver.
-
First commercial project with EdenCrete® used in a warehouse floor, completed in late 2016.
-
The expansion of Eden’s Colorado based production capability of EdenCrete® to a targeted maximum of 2-2.4 million gallons per year continued and is expected to be operational in April 2017.
-
Purchase of existing Colorado Production Facility Completed.
-
Eden entered into a contract to purchase an adjoining property to its existing Colorado plant for US$1.525 million. This purchase has now been completed, securing additional space, and facilitating a possible further increase in the EdenCrete® production capacity in Colorado.
-
The election in November 2016 of US President-elect Donald Trump and the approval by Georgia of increases in sales taxes to fund improvements to roads and upgrade of the bus and rail systems, raises the US infrastructure market prospects for EdenCrete®.
-
Work commenced on clearing the access road to the proposed Augusta, EdenCrete® plant.
Optiblend™ Dual Fuel
- Orders received in the USA during the period for nine units (approx. US$300,000) and in India for two units (approx. US$27,000).

PARKINSON DAM GOLD-SILVER EPITHERMAL PROJECT, SOUTH AUSTRALIA, EL 5602 (TASMAN 100%)
Corrie Dam Prospect
No further field exploration or drilling was conducted at Corrie Dam Prospect during the six months (Figure 1). Previous air core drilling at the prospect has intersected anomalous lead, silver and copper mineralisation at shallow depths, including 25m downhole from 60m averaging 0.36% Pb and 1.4g/t Ag in hole CDAC015 and 15m down hole from 55m at 6.6g/t Ag, 0.17% Cu and 0.11% Pb in drill hole CDAC 030 (true widths are not known). These results were reported to the ASX on 8th April 2015 and on 21 May 2015.
In light of the current modest upturn in commodity prices, further exploration including a possible IP geophysical survey over the area containing the earlier gold-silver discoveries at Parkinson Dam, including drill hole PD 63 (see Figure 1), and /or drilling at Corrie Dam including possible deeper RC holes, is currently being considered.

LAKE TORRENS PROJECT, SOUTH AUSTRALIA (TASMAN 100%)
The Lake Torrens IOCGU Project is located approximately 15km north of Olympic Dam, and has been the focus of a significant exploration effort by Tasman over a number of years. During the period, no further field exploration was conducted on this Project.
Between June and November 2016, a detailed five month review by a major international mining company took place but in November 2016 Tasman was advised that they did not wish to proceed a possible joint venture.
Tasman is continuing to actively seek a suitable joint venture partner to continue the exploration on this deep, but very prospective project.
In light of the current modest upturn in commodity prices, Tasman is currently reviewing the prospect of conducting one or more geophysical surveys, gravity focused, in a very anomalous and prospective area between Vulcan prospect and the similar style copper-uranium-gold discovery at Titan, about 16km to the northwest.
PROJECT LOCATIONS
No other significant exploration activity occurred on Tasman’s projects during the six months. The location of all Tasman’s exploration projects is shown in Figure 2.

Independent Auditor’s Review Report to the members of Tasman Resources Limited
Report on the Interim Financial Report
We have reviewed the accompanying interim financial report of Tasman Resources Limited and its controlled entities (the “Group”), which comprises the condensed consolidated statement of financial position as at 31 December 2016, the condensed consolidated statement of profit or loss and other comprehensive income, condensed consolidated statement of changes in equity and condensed consolidated statement of cash flows for the period ended on that date, other selected explanatory notes and the directors’ declaration of the Group comprising the Company and the entities it controlled at the half-year end or from time to time during the period.
Directors’ Responsibility for the Interim Financial Report
The directors of the Group are responsible for the preparation of the half-year financial report that gives a true and fair view in accordance with Australian Accounting Standards, including the Australian Accounting Interpretations, and the Corporations Act 2001. This responsibility includes: establishing and maintaining internal controls relevant to the preparation and fair presentation of the half-year financial report that is free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error; selecting and applying appropriate accounting policies; and making accounting estimates that are reasonable in the circumstances.
Auditor’s Responsibility
Our responsibility is to express a conclusion on the interim financial report based on our review. We conducted our review in accordance with Auditing Standard on Review Engagements ASRE 2410 Review of a Financial Report Performed by the Independent Auditor of the Entity , in order to state whether, on the basis of the procedures described, we have become aware of any matter that makes us believe that the interim financial report is not in accordance with the Corporations Act 2001 including: giving a true and fair view of the Group’s financial position as at 31 December 2016 and its performance for the period ended on that date; and complying with Accounting Standard AASB 134 Interim Financial Reporting and the Corporations Regulations 2001 . As the auditor of Tasman Resources Limited, ASRE 2410 requires that we comply with the ethical requirements relevant to the audit of the annual financial report.
A review of an interim 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.
Page 19 of 20
Independence
In conducting our review, we have complied with the independence requirements of the Corporations Act 2001. We confirm that the independence declaration required by the Corporations Act 2001 , which has been given to the directors of Tasman Resources Limited, would be in the same terms if given to the directors as at the time of this auditor’s report.
Conclusion
Based on our review, which is not an audit, we have not become aware of any matter that makes us believe that the interim financial report of Tasman Resources Limited and its controlled entities is not in accordance with the Corporations Act 2001 including:
-
(a) giving a true and fair view of the Group’s financial position as at 31 December 2016 and of its performance for the half-year ended on that date; and
-
(b) complying with Accounting Standard AASB 134 Interim Financial Reporting and Corporations Regulations 2001.
