Titanium Sands Limited (Formerly Windimurra Vanadium Limited)

Directors Report For the half year ended 31 December 2016

The directors of Titanium Sands Limited (“the Company”) (formerly Windimurra Vanadium Limited) submit herewith the interim financial report for the half year ended 31 December 2016. In order to comply with the provisions of the Corporations Act 2001, the directors report as follows:

Directors

The directors of the Company at any time during or since the end of the half year are: Mr James Searle (appointed 2 March 2016)

Mr Jason Ferris (appointed 31 July 2014) Mr Lee Christensen (appointed 16 April 2015)

Mr Graham Chapman (appointed 21 January 2015, resigned 17 November 2016)

Company Secretary

Ms Nicki Farley (appointed 7 November 2012)

Principal Activities

The current principal activity and key focus for the Company during the period is mineral exploration.

Operating Results

The net loss of the Company for the half year ended 31 December 2016 was $252,505 (2015: $210,762).

Review of Operations and Events Subsequent to the Reporting Date

Corporate

At the Company’s Annual General Meeting on 30 November 2016 shareholders approved the change of company name from Windimurra Vanadium Ltd to Titanium Sands Ltd (ASX:TSL). This will reflect the Company’s focus on the exploration and development of high grade mineral sands deposits. A General Meeting of shareholders is to be held during the June quarter to approve the acquisition of the Sri Lankan heavy mineral projects.

Operations

Sri Lankan Mineral Sands Project

The vendor of the Mannar Island Heavy Mineral Project in Sri Lanka (Figure 1), Srinel Holdings Ltd has been undertaking further shallow auger drilling to maintain the momentum of the project. Srinel has advised that during 2016 a total of 608 drill holes were drilled on the tenure that is to be acquired by TSL. Details of this drilling were reported to the ASX on the 2 March 2017. Visual logging of the drilling has identified areas of heavy mineral concentration up to 3 Km inland from the previously reported JORC inferred resource envelope along the north east shoreline of Mannar Island (Figure 2). This area is contained within the expanded project area (as announced 26 January 2016).

A sample preparation laboratory has also been set up on site in Mannar Island. Drilling samples are now being processed so they can be exported to a specialist mineral sands laboratory. The Company anticipates that a revised resource statement will be prepared in due course after laboratory results and further mineralogical analyses are completed.

In addition high grade heavy mineral accumulations have recently been identified within the project area on the mainland shore adjacent to Mannar Island (Figures 2, 3 and 4 locations HG1 and HG2). These high grade occurrences are significant because they are located 250m and 450m inland from the previously reported JORC resource envelope*. Accordingly drilling to extend the resource envelope landward in these localities will be a priority following shareholder approval of the Sri Lankan Project acquisition by Titanium Sands Ltd.

About the Mannar Island Heavy Mineral Sand Project

Srinel Holdings Ltd is an unlisted company registered in Mauritius which holds via subsidiary companies 13 exploration licences (covering 348km2) and an exploration license application (covering 42km2). Windimurra (now Titanium Sands Ltd) exercised its option to acquire 100% of the issued capital of Srinel under the updated terms as released to ASX on 29 January 2016. The acquisition does however in addition require shareholder approval at a general meeting. This process is underway.

An initial JORC inferred mineral resource of 10.3 Mt with total heavy mineral (THM) of 11.7% (Table 2) was reported to the Australian Securities Exchange on the 22 April 2015 *. This resource was based on an historical drill hole data base of 785 auger drill holes and from the 115 holes drilled in 2014. The drilling and the defined resource envelope were largely confined to within 150m of the Mannar Island shoreline.

10.33Mt 11.71 2.08 8.69 5.54 1.34 0.18 0.26

Table 1 JORC inferred mineral resource Mannar Island Project *.

The reported mineral resource at Mannar indicates a high grade deposit with leucoxene grades alone approaching that of specialised leucoxene producers, but also having in addition very high (by industry standards) ilmenite grades and significant subsidiary amounts of the premium value minerals of rutile and zircon.

Windimurra Vanadium Project

The Company has relinquished a mining lease M58/272 in the Mid-West Region of Western. The tenure was assessed as having insufficient exploration potential.

*An initial JORC inferred mineral resource of 10.3 Mt with total heavy mineral (THM) of 11.7% was reported in full to the Australian Securities Exchange on the 22 April 2015.This resource was based on an historical drill hole data base of 785 auger drill holes and from the 115 holes drilled in early 2015. The drilling and the defined resource envelope were largely confined to within 150m of the Mannar Island shoreline. The Company confirms that this resource statement remains current in regards to the areas covered by the drilling used in the resource model.

Except where indicated, exploration results above have been compiled by James Searle BSc (hons), PhD, a Member of the Australian Institute of Mining and Metallurgy, with over 34 year experience in metallic and energy minerals exploration and development, and as such has sufficient experience which is relevant to the style of mineralisation and type of deposits under consideration as a Competent Person as defined in the 2012 Edition of the “Australasian Code for Reporting of Exploration Results, Mineral Resources and Ore Reserves”. Dr Searle is the Managing Director of Titanium Sands Limited and consents to the inclusion of this technical information in the format and context in which it appears.

Titanium Sands Limited (Formerly Windimurra Vanadium Limited)

Notes to the financial statements For the half year ended 31 December 2016

1. Reporting Entity

Titanium Sands Limited (formerly Windimurra Vanadium Limited) is a company domiciled in Australia. The interim financial report of the Company is as at and for the half year ended 31 December 2016.

The annual financial report of the Company as at and for the year ended 30 June 2016 is available upon request from the Company’s registered office at Level 24, 44 St Georges Terrace Perth WA 6000.

Statement of compliance

The interim financial report is a general purpose financial report which has been prepared in accordance with AASB 134 Interim Financial Reporting and the Corporations Act 2001. Selected explanatory notes are included to explain events and transactions that are significant to gain an understanding of the changes in the financial position and performance of the Company since the last annual financial report as at and for the year ended 30 June 2016.

The interim financial report does not include all of the information required for a full annual financial report, and should be read in conjunction with the annual financial report of the Company as at and for the year ended 30 June 2016.

The interim financial report is approved by the Board of Directors on 16[th] March 2017.

Estimates

Preparing interim financial statements requires management to make judgements, estimates and assumptions that affect the application of accounting policies and the reported amounts of assets and liabilities, income and expense. Actual results may differ from these estimates.

In preparing these interim financial statements, the significant judgements made by management in applying the Company’s accounting policies and the key sources of estimation uncertainty were the same as those that applied to the annual financial statements as at and for the year ended 30 June 2016.

Significant accounting policies

The accounting policies applied by the Company in this interim financial report are the same as those applied by the Company in its annual financial report as at and for the year ended 30 June 2016.

There were no standards issued since 30 June 2016 that have been applied by the company. The 30 June 2016 annual report disclosed that the Company anticipated no material impacts (amounts recognised and/or disclosed) arising from initial application of those standards issued but not yet applied at that date, and this remains the assessment as at 31 December 2016.

Segment reporting

The Company operated in one industry, being mining exploration, in two geographical segments, Australia and Sri Lanka.

The Board of Directors review internal reports on a regular basis that is consistent with the information provided in the statement of profit or loss and other comprehensive income, statement of financial position, and statement of cash flows. As a result, no reconciliation is required because the information as presented is what is used by the Board to make strategic decisions.

2. Going Concern

The Company has incurred a net loss after tax for the half year ended 31 December 2016 of $252,505 (2015: $210,762) and experienced net cash outflows from operating activities of $47,978 (2015: $60,167). At 31 December 2016, the Company had net assets of $68,167 (30 June 2016: $320,672) and had a working capital deficiency of $595,982 (30 June 2016: $343,477).

The ability of the Company to continue as a going concern is dependent on the Company securing additional funding through a prospectus capital raising and the continued support of its creditors and shareholders.

These conditions indicate a material uncertainty that may cast a significant doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern and, therefore, that it may be unable to realise its assets and discharge its liabilities in the normal course of business.

The Directors believe the Company will continue as a going concern and be able to pay its debts as and when they fall due.

Management has prepared a cash flow forecast for a period of 12 months beyond the sign off date of this financial report and believes there are sufficient funds to meet the entity’s working capital requirements and as at the date of this report. The Company will be required to raise additional funds through debt or equity issues to continue with operations at their current rate.

The financial statements have been prepared on the basis that the Company is a going concern, which contemplates the continuity of normal business activity, realisation of assets and settlement of liabilities in the normal course of business for the following reasons:

  • The Company believe they can raise additional funding through debt or equity which is actively pursued;

  • The Company has a recent proven history of successfully raising capital;

  • The majority of creditors have provided confirmation that they will extend payment terms until such time that the company has the ability to pay;

  • Cash spending can be reduced or slowed below its current rate if required;

  • Continued support from major shareholders to raise funds for working capital purposes;

  • The Company is also in discussions with the Company’s corporate advisors and largest shareholder in relation to raising additional funding.

13

Titanium Sands Limited (Formerly Windimurra Vanadium Limited)

Notes to the financial statements For the half year ended 31 December 2016

2. Going Concern (Continued)

Should the Company not be able to continue as a going concern, it may be required to realise its assets and discharge its liabilities other than in the ordinary course of business, and at amounts that differ from those stated in the financial statements and that the financial report does not include any adjustments relating to the recoverability and classification of recorded asset amounts or liabilities that might be necessary should the Company not continue as a going concern.

INDEPENDENT AUDITOR’S REVIEW REPORT

To the members of Titanium Sands Limited (formerly Windimurra Vanadium Limited)

Report on the Half-Year Financial Report

We have reviewed the accompanying half-year financial report of Titanium Sands Limited (formerly Windimurra Vanadium Limited), which comprises the statement of financial position as at 31 December 2016, the statement of profit or loss and other comprehensive income, statement of changes in equity and statement of cash flows for the half-year ended on that date, notes comprising a statement of significant accounting policies and other explanatory information, and the directors’ declaration.

Directors’ Responsibility for the Half-Year Financial Report

The directors of the company are responsible for the preparation of the half-year financial report that gives a true and fair view in accordance with Australian Accounting Standards and the Corporations Act 2001 and for such internal control as the directors determine is necessary to enable the preparation of the half-year financial report that is free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error.

Auditor’s Responsibility

Our responsibility is to express a conclusion on the half-year 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 half-year financial report is not in accordance with the Corporations Act 2001 including: giving a true and fair view of the company’s financial position as at 31 December 2016 and its performance for the half-year ended on that date; and complying with Accounting Standard AASB 134 Interim Financial Reporting and the Corporations Regulations 2001 . As the auditor of Titanium Sands Limited (formerly Windimurra Vanadium Limited), ASRE 2410 requires that we comply with the ethical requirements relevant to the audit of the annual financial report.

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.

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 Titanium Sands Limited (formerly Windimurra Vanadium Limited), would be in the same terms if given to the directors as at the time of this auditor’s review report.

BDO Audit (WA) Pty Ltd ABN 79 112 284 787 is a member of a national association of independent entities which are all members of BDO Australia Ltd ABN 77 050 110 275, an Australian company limited by guarantee. BDO Audit (WA) Pty Ltd and BDO Australia Ltd are members of BDO International Ltd, a UK company limited by guarantee, and form part of the international BDO network of independent member firms.

==> picture [78 x 31] intentionally omitted <==

Conclusion

Based on our review, which is not an audit, we have not become aware of any matter that makes us believe that the half-year financial report of Titanium Sands Limited (formerly Windimurra Vanadium Limited) is not in accordance with the Corporations Act 2001 including:

  • (i) Giving a true and fair view of the company’s financial position as at 31 December 2016 and of its performance for the half-year ended on that date; and

  • (ii) Complying with Accounting Standard AASB 134 Interim Financial Reporting and Corporations Regulations 2001 .

Emphasis of matter – Material uncertainty relating to going concern

We draw attention to Note 2 in the financial report which describes the events which give rise to the existence of a material uncertainty that may cast significant doubt about the entity’s ability to continue as a going concern and therefore the entity may be unable to realise its assets and discharge its liabilities in the normal course of business. Our conclusion is not modified in respect of this matter.
