REVIEW OF OPERATIONS

Figure 1: Tasman Project Locations.
PERNATTY, SOUTH AUSTRALIA (TASMAN 100%)
The Pernatty Project is located approximately 20km SSE of the IOCG (Iron/Oxide-Copper-Gold) deposit at Carrapateena, within Exploration Licence 6137 (refer Figure 2). The area was initially targeted by Tasman for its potential to host IOCG deposits due to available geophysical data, the possibility of reasonable basement depths and its proximity to Carrapateena. Importantly, Tasman’s regional geological studies identified Pernatty as lying within an interpreted prospective “corridor” containing the most commercially favourable IOCG deposits at Olympic Dam, Wirrda and the three deposits in the Carrapateena area (see Figure 2). Recently, BHP has announced the potential discovery of a major new deposit at Oak Dam West, which is also located within this interpreted corridor. There has been no previous drilling within the tenement .

Electromagnetic (EM) Surveys
EM surveying over the two most prospective target areas for IOCG mineralisation was completed during the period. A total of 54.7 line kms were surveyed over the two target areas (refer Figures 2 & 3). The aim of the survey was to locate anomalous areas of electrical conductivity in the basement that could be due to IOCG associated copper sulphide mineralisation, as well as give information about depth to basement.
EM Survey Results
Geophysical modelling of the EM data in conjunction with the available gravity and magnetic data was carried out by Tasman’s consultant geophysicist.

Southern Area
Geophysical modelling has highlighted an EM conductor in the southern area coincident with a gravity and magnetic anomaly (Figures 3 and 4) bounded by interpreted N and NE trending lineaments (Figure 4). Although all components of the coincident magnetic-gravity-conductivity anomaly are weak, the modelling suggests that elevated concentrations of sulphides may occur between about 250 and 500m depth.
Conductivity depth images (CDI’s, Figure 5a) suggest that conductive rocks occur at around 300m and are separate from shallow highly conductive material, probably saline aquifers, in the cover. The EM conductor is shown as Plate 07 in the EM model (Figure 5b). Modelled dimensions are around 800m long and 700m wide, similar to that of the gravity anomaly. The gravity and magnetic components of the coincident anomaly are interpreted to represent felsic rocks with about 5% dense non-magnetic minerals such as hematite and sulphides with less than 0.1% magnetite. The data suggests that it is not likely to be an iron rich IOCG system however the intersecting deeply-weathered regional lineaments suggest a possible zone of dilation, giving it a potentially interesting address.

Northern Area
==> picture [115 x 54] intentionally omitted <==
Two steeply dipping conductive sheets (Figures 3, 6 a & b) have been interpreted on the southern most line in the northern area. Their high conductances suggest that they might represent sulphides in steeply dipping faults or fractures, presumably within the cover rocks, however graphite as a source of the conductivity cannot be ruled out. The top centre of Plate 1 in the model is at (751010E, 6523250N) at 53m depth and is very close to vertical. The top of Plate 2 in the model is at (751540E, 6523250N) and 103 metres depth. While these EM anomalies appear on either flank of a north-south gravity high there are no gravity data points within 200m of this southernmost EM line. The gravity high is inferred by interpolation.

Two small coincident magnetic-gravity-EM highs have also been identified in the northern area at approximately 370 and 400m depth:

Body 1
Just enough of this feature is seen at the north end of north-south EM line 751400E to permit construction of a plate-in-host EM model whose profiles and CDI response, shown in Figure 7a & b, suggest that the maximum conductivity occurs at about 370m depth (Plate 01). This is associated with weak but coincident magnetic (2 nT) and gravity (0.2 mGal) highs. Modelling suggests less than 0.1% magnetite and 15% of a dense nonmagnetic component such as hematite and sulphides. Due to the associated electrical conductivity the 15 percent estimate for the hematite and sulphide component may represent more sulphides than hematite.
Body 2
A residual gravity high at (752000E, 6524000N) coincides with a residual magnetic high, and both anomalies occur barely 150m west of a conductivity anomaly seen in the eastern end of the CDI for line 6524000N (Figure 8). The residual magnetic and gravity high can be simulated using a body with the properties of felsic rock with 5.5% percent hematite and sulphides and less than 1% magnetite.

Follow Up Work
A number of drill holes are proposed to test the coincident gravity-magnetic-EM anomalies in both areas and the steeply dipping conductors in the northern area for any economic sulphide accumulations at depth. Although none of the conductors identified can be readily attributed to classic IOCG mineralization due to their relatively low gravity modelled iron contents they still have the potential to host economic copper sulphide mineralization in the cover rocks and/or basement. The applicable mineralisation models for the Pernatty anomalies are however uncertain at this stage.
The eastern Gawler Craton is a significant copper province and economic copper mineralization occurs in cover rocks at Mt Gunson, 40km to the west and in the basement at the Carrapateena IOCG deposit 20km to the northwest. As there has been no drilling in the area the local depth to basement is unknown, and the conductivity contrast between the cover rocks and basement is insufficient to determine a clear interface in the CDIs.

Fortescue Agreement
Tasman Resources Ltd (“Tasman”) and FMG Resources Pty Ltd, a subsidiary of Fortescue Metals Group Limited (ASX:FMG “Fortescue”) executed a conditional, formal Farm-in and Joint Venture Agreement (“Agreement”) over Tasman’s wholly owned Exploration Licence 6416 (previously EL5499) in June 2019 (Refer to TAS:ASX Announcement dated 14 June 2019). South Australian ministerial approval was received in late August 2019 and as a result, the Agreement is now unconditional.
Work Carried Out by Fortescue
Historical Exploration Data Review
Fortescue commenced a detailed review of historic exploration activities covering EL 6416 (previously EL 5499) including an evaluation of drilling, geochemical, and geophysical data. Collation of data, including digitisation of non-digital data is ongoing. Fortescue re-logged tendrill holes from the Titan Prospect (TI009, TI010, TI011, TI012, TI013, TI014). Drill core from the Vulcan Prospect is in the process of being transported to Fortescue’s Adelaide facilities for re-logging. Preparation of drill core from the Vulcan prospect for re-logging and HyLogger scanning is nearing completion.
Geophysical Data Review
During the period, efforts were concentrated on compiling and cataloguing all geophysical data provided by Tasman as well as any additional data from open file envelopes. The primary focus at present is to QAQC all available ground gravity data which will aid in the planning of follow up ground gravity survey work. Additional work has concentrated on cataloguing the distribution of magnetic susceptibility and specific gravity data from existing drill core.

Geophysics
Detailed magnetic susceptibility, specific gravity and conductivity data was collected from the re-logged Titan core and is being compiled into a database to aid in the development of constrained geophysical inversion models.
A detailed ground gravity survey commenced on 1st December 2019. The survey is expected to include approximately 19,000 gravity stations, comprising full tenement gravity coverage of 400m x 400m, 200m x 200m spacing over areas of interest, through to high resolution 100m x 100m spacing over selected areas.
Drill Sample Assays
Fortescue has commenced planning of a geochemical vectoring program aimed at developing a methodology for quantifying the relative abundances and distribution of magnetite and hematite throughout the Vulcan IOCG mineral sysEM. A representative suite of drill core samples sourced from previously crushed material will be submitted for analysis in Q1 2020 comprising FTIR, SatMagan, DTR, XRF and QXRD methods. This dataset will then be incorporated into a machine learning environment to validate the use of FTIR and/or SatMagan techniques as rapid and cost effective vectoring methods moving forward. The samples will also be scanned using the HyLogger and analysed for fluorine, which is a useful pathfinder element for IOCG sysEMs.
Spectral Analysis
During the period, the Geological Survey of South Australia completed HyLogger spectral scanning of Tasman drill holes VUD001, VUD009 and VUD015. These holes were selected to provide a cross-section of the northern limb of the Vulcan prospect. The spectral analysis will provide additional detail on the range of alteration and mineralization as well as high resolution imagery. The results and report from these scans are expected in Q1 2020.

NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS FOR THE HALF-YEAR ENDED 31 DECEMBER 2019
NOTE 1: BASIS OF PREPARATION
The financial statements are a general purpose financial report prepared in accordance with the requirements of the Corporations Act 2001 , Australian Accounting Standard AASB 134: Interim Financial Reporting, Australian Accounting Interpretations and other authoritative pronouncements of the Australian Accounting Standards Board. Compliance with AASB 134: Interim Financial Reporting ensures compliance with IAS 34: Interim Financial Reporting.
It is recommended that this financial report be read in conjunction with the annual financial report for the year ended 30 June 2019 and any public announcements made by Tasman Resources Ltd and its controlled entities during the halfyear. The half-year report does not include full disclosures of the type normally included in an annual financial report.
Going Concern
These financial statements have been prepared on a going concern basis, which contemplates the continuity of normal business activities and the realisation of assets and extinguishment of liabilities in the ordinary course of business.
The Group has reported a net loss for the period of $4,426,787 (2018: $4,491,878) and a cash outflow from operating activities of $4,129,904 (2018: $3,561,749).
Based on the Group’s cash flow forecast it is likely that the Group will need to access additional working capital in the next 12 months to advance its exploration projects and to ensure the realisation of assets on an orderly basis and the extinguishment of liabilities as and when they fall due.
The directors are confident that the Group will be successful in raising additional funds through the issue of new equity, or alternative methods, should the need arise. The directors are also aware that the Group has the option, if necessary, to defer expenditure and reduce administration costs in order to minimise additional funding requirements.
Based on these facts, the directors consider the going concern basis of preparation to be appropriate for this financial report. Should the Company be unsuccessful in securing additional funding, there is a material uncertainty which may cast significant doubt whether the entity will be able to continue as a going concern and therefore, whether it will realise its assets and extinguish its liabilities in the normal course of business and at the amounts stated in the financial report.
The financial statements do not include any adjustments relative to the recoverability and classification of recorded asset amounts or, to the amounts and classification of liabilities that might be necessary should the entity not continue as a going concern.
Accounting Policies
The accounting policies have been consistently applied by the entities in the consolidated group and are consistent with those in the June 2019 financial report except for the adoption of new and revised Accounting Standards.
New and amended standards adopted by the Group
The Group has adopted all of the new and revised Standards and Interpretations issued by the Australian Accounting Standards Board (the AASB) that are relevant to its operations and effective for the current half-year, including AASB 16. The new and revised Standards and amendments thereof and Interpretations do not have any material impact on the disclosures or on the amounts recognised in the Group's condensed consolidated financial statements.
AASB 16 Leases – The Group has adopted the practical expedients, in relation to short-term leases and leases of low –value assets for property and equipment. Payments are recognised on a straight-line basis as an expense in profit or loss.

Independent Auditor’s Review Report to the members of Tasman Resources Limited
Report on the Interim Financial Report
Conclusion
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 2019, 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.
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 2019 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.
Emphasis of Matter - Material Uncertainty Related to Going Concern
Without modifying our review conclusion, we draw attention to Note 1 of the interim financial report, which indicates that the Group will require further funding in the next twelve months from the date of this report to fund its planned operating costs. These conditions, along with other matters as set forth in Note 1, indicate the existence of a material uncertainty that may cast significant doubt about the Group’s ability to continue as a going concern and therefore the Group may be unable to realise its assets and discharge its liabilities in the normal course of business.
Directors’ Responsibility for the Interim Financial Report
The directors of the Company are responsible for the preparation of the interim financial report that gives a true and fair view in accordance with Australian Accounting Standards and the Corporations Act 2001 and for such controls as the directors determine are necessary to enable the preparation of the interim financial report that is free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error.
Page 25 of 26
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 2019 and its performance for the period ended on that date; and complying with Australian 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.
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 Review Report
