Chairman's Letter
Fellow Shareholders,
I am pleased to be able to report to you that Tungsten Mining NL successfully achieved its goals in the year under review. The company listed on the ASX in December 2012, -raising \$5.1M in difficult market conditions. We have also achieved significant milestones in the development of our key Kilba tungsten project located in the Gascoyne region of WA.
The model for the company, is to reward our shareholders by adding to the value of their TGN portfolio, by developing viable mining projects from the tungsten assets we obtained through listing, and from actively seeking out other exceptional tungsten assets for acquisition.
Our primary focus has been the Kilba mining lease in WA, where earlier work had suggested a target of 1.3Mt @ 0.7% WO3 which, if proven correct, would make an excellent basis for a tungsten mine. By May 2013 we had redrilled the same 1.5km strike-length of the original discovery in sufficient detail to be able to announce an independently-calculated maiden JORC-compliant resources of 5.1Mt @ 0.27% WO3. This included 1.3Mt @ 0.6% WO3 and was therefore closely in line with expectations, but we gained an additional 3.8Mt of near-surface resource, giving 73% more tungsten Furthermore, there is still significant exploration upside at Kilba since the observed overall. tungsten mineralisation at surface covers up to 7.5km of strike around the periphery of the host granite structure, and only this 1.5km section has been adequately explored so far.
Diagnostic metallurgical tests on core material confirmed that the tungsten is present as coarsegrained scheelite mineralisation as expected, and that it will be easy to treat, responding well to a conventional all-gravity process route to yield a saleable tungsten concentrate with better-thanaverage tungsten recovery.
A scoping study has been completed and shows that a project would technically and financially viable. No fatal flaws were found, and the revenue/cost margins are robust and commercially attractive.
So whilst negativity has pervaded the small cap mining sector of the share market throughout most of the year, it is testament to our outstanding project and team, and the support of our shareholders that we outperformed our peers in the tungsten sector as these difficult conditions persisted throughout 2013.
With respect to the tungsten market, demand is strong and the price has risen 66% in A\$ terms from a low of \$265 at listing to a high of \$439 at fiscal year-end1. Consensus from the market is that prices are sustainable in the US\$460 to \$500/mtu range.

Directors' Report (continued)
Kilba Project
$\mathbf{1}$ Location
Kilba is located within the Gascoyne Region of Western Australia, 320 km northeast of the regional centre of Carnarvon, and 250km southwest of the town of Karratha. The principal access to the project area is provided by the Northwest Coastal Highway, a sealed dual-lane carriageway with direct links to ports at Dampier, Geraldton and Fremantle. Access into Kilba is gained via the Uaroo-Glen Florrie Road and then good quality station tracks and refurbished exploration tracks to the area of interest (Figure 1).

Figure 1: Location of Mining Licence ML 08/0314
$\overline{2}$ Environmental
A combined Level 1 flora and vegetation assessment and targeted flora survey was carried out by Maia Environmental Consultancy (Maia) during August, 2012. The study was carried out at the Company's Kilba project, primarily on mining lease M08/314 and also over small areas on tenement E08/2139 and E08/1410. The assessment was also carried out along an existing track starting at the junction of the closest north-south main track and leading to the western end of M08/314.
A Level 1 Terrestrial Vertebrate Fauna Level 1 assessment of the Kilba Well Prospect was carried out by BIOSTAT Pty Ltd in September, 2012. The objectives of the Level 1 assessment were to collate an inventory of the vertebrate fauna species recorded during the site visit and likely species based on habitat preferences and geographical distribution. The study also undertook an assessment of the potential for rare, threatened or vulnerable species that may occur and recommendations for vertebrate fauna management and/or further work to undertake impact assessment.
Directors' Report (continued)
$2.$ Exploration Drilling
The Company commenced drilling at the Kilba project in November 2012 to confirm the presence of high-grade tungsten mineralisation indicated by historic drilling completed by Union Carbide Corporation in the 1970s/1980s. Since November 2012, the Company has drilled 24 diamond holes and 42 reverse circulation (RC) holes over 1200 metres of mineralised strike at Zone 11 on the 100% owned and granted Mining Lease 08/314.
Drilling has completed an 80 metre by 40 metre spaced drill pattern over the main 900 metres of outcropping mineralisation at Zone 11. Broader spaced drilling has also tested strike extensions on 80 to 160 metre spaced sections, for a further 300 metres. Collar locations are displayed in Figure 2.

Figure 2 - plan displaying location recent drilling at Zone 11 and historic Union Carbide holes.
Results from this drilling confirmed the high-grade nature of coarse grained scheelite mineralisation present at Zone 11. Better results from drilling are displayed in Table 1 and 2 below. For a comprehensive list of intersections greater than 1.5 metres $@$ 0.10% Tungsten Oxide (WO3) for diamond and RC drilling refer to Appendix 1.

Mineral Resource $3.$
On 28 May 2013, the Company announced a Maiden JORC-2012 compliant Resource estimate for Zones 8 and 11 on the Kilba project (Figure 3). The Company confirms it is not aware of any new information or data that materially affects the information and that all material assumptions and technical parameters underpinning the Mineral Resource estimate in the relevant market announcement continue to apply and have not materially changed.
The Indicated and Inferred Mineral Resource estimate for Zones 8 and 11 of the Kilba project is 1.3 million tonnes at 0.57% WO3, which is located within a much larger resource of 5.0 million tonnes at 0.27% WO3 (Table 3). The Mineral Resource is located on the Company's 100% owned Mining Lease 08/314.

$12 \,$
Directors' Report (continued)
The Mineral Resource estimate has been completed in accordance with the guidelines of the Joint Ore Reserve Committee (JORC) Code - 2012 Edition. CSA Global Pty Ltd ("CSA Global") was engaged to audit data integrity and conduct the resource model as detailed in the ASX release dated the 28 May 2013 - "Maiden JORC Resource at Kilba Project".
A range of lower cut-offs have been used to report grades and tonnages, as shown in Figure 4. This demonstrates that within the overall resource there are significant high-grade zones of tungsten mineralisation.
At Zone 11 tungsten mineralisation dips at 30 to 70 degrees toward the south to southwest and is associated with skarns and calc-silicate units. Typically high-grade mineralisation is associated with retrograde skarn units which are often surrounded by low to medium grade disseminated scheelite mineralisation in calc-silicate and sedimentary units.
Toward the east of Zone 11 tungsten mineralisation tends to occur in a single high-grade zone, as shown in Figure 5. In the central and western domains mineralisation is associated with multiple shallow dipping low to medium-grade units, as shown by Figure 6.
Union Carbide drilled diamond holes targeting high-grade tungsten mineralisation associated with skarns at Zone 8. Mineralisation dips steeply towards the north-northwest, as shown in Figure 7. A number of these holes have been used to estimate an Inferred Mineral Resource of 230,000 tonnes at 0.56% WO3 at Zone 8.
Surface mapping has identified numerous skarn units at Zone 8 that have not been adequately drill tested and future exploration will focus on evaluating these targets and targets at Zone 12 to the north.

4. Scoping Study
The Company completed a Scoping Study based on a Maiden JORC-2012 compliant Resource estimate released in May, 2013 described above. The Company confirms it is not aware of any new information or data that materially affects the information and that all material assumptions and technical parameters underpinning the Mineral Resource estimate in the relevant market announcement continue to apply and have not materially changed.
The prime Study objective was to develop a likely project scenario and establish whether it would be in the interests of the Company to pursue such a project. The Company is pleased to report that the Study met this objective.
In compiling the Scoping Study, Tungsten Mining prepared:
- Preliminary pit optimisation and Strategic Planning Envelope;
- Broad-level mining and production schedules; $\bullet$
- Metallurgical process flowsheet; $\bullet$
- Major process equipment selection;
- assessment of infrastructural requirements, including access, $\bullet$ power, water, communications, offices, workshops, shift rosters, transportation, product consignment and accommodation;
- Capital expenditure estimates;
- Operating cost estimates; and
- Operating Plan.
Directors' Report (continued)
Scoping Study Results $4.1$
A summary of the salient points from the Scoping Study for the Kilba Project is set out in table 4 below:
Table 4: Scoping Study Summary
| Item | Outcome |
|---|---|
| Mining Program | Open cut; truck-and-shovel |
| Capital expenditure | A\$56 million |
| Ore Feed rate to Process Plant | 750,000 tpa |
| Average Weighted Operating Costs (LOM) | US\$212/mtu |
| Initial Production (average, first 2 years) | 291,000 mtu pa of contained |
| Average Production after year 2 | 99,600 mtu pa of contained WO3 |
| Mine Life | 7 years |
| First production | 4Q 2014 |
| IRR | 34% |
| NPV at 7% | \$36 million |
$4.3$ Mining
The proposed mining method is conventional drill-and-blast, truck-and-shovel, load/haul/dump, open pit mining. The mining engineering unit of the consultancy, CSA Global, determined the Strategic Planning envelope and carried out the mine modelling and pit optimisation work used for the Scoping Study.
4.4 Pit Optimisation
Dilution and ore recovery factors were applied to the mineral inventory, resulting in a mineral resource used for mine planning, design and cash-flow analysis of 5.2M tonnes at an average grade of 0.25% WO3. This mineral resource within the pit shell includes dilution of 5% and 95% mining recovery. The bottom cut-off grade of 0.10% WO3 for the Kilba deposit was calculated from key economic parameters.
$4.5$ Mining Schedule
Various mining production scenarios were examined. The scenario that was adopted as the base case of the Study was to extract ore at the rate necessary to completely utilise a process plant with 750,000tpa capacity, but initially to treat only the higher grade portion of mined ore above a 0.3% cut- off limit. Pre-strip is not required, as the mineralized zones outcrop at surface.
The mining schedule is structured such that effectively seven (7) years of open cut ore production is mined in three years. The total production has been sourced from pits based on the optimisation studies.
Directors' Report (continued)
The plant will process higher grade ore in the first three years and in later years process the lower grade stockpiled ore. This brings forward a large quantity of high-grade ore and maximises product output in the first 2 years with a positive effect on the project economics, allowing project payback in the first year. There is also scope that additional high grade mineralisation might be identified from further drilling at a later date along the line of strike of the tungsten mineralisation, thus potentially allowing this mode of production to be sustained for several more years.
This scenario resulted in mining taking place in only the first 3 years of the project, at a rate of 1.7Mt of ore per year (nominally 300,000 cubic metres of total material shifted per month).
High-grade ore only is processed at the rate of 750,000tpa for approximately 31/2 years, and the lower- grade ore below 0.3% WO3 cut-off is stockpiled for later processing in the remaining 31/2 years of the project.
During the course of the next phase of study, Tungsten Mining will test these assumptions by infill drilling to increase the confidence in the Resource outlined by the optimised pits. Geotechnical work will be undertaken to assist in the final open pit designs.
4.6 Pit Design
The main Kilba excavation, in zone 11, is a single elongated pit approximately 1.2km long, up to 300m wide and up to 120m deep (Figure 8). Fresh rock (non-weathered) extends almost to surface, and a realistic pit slope of 550, typical of other open cut mines in similar ground, with a 6m wide basal floor, was assumed.

Figure 8: Schematic of Zone 11 pit outline
Directors' Report (continued)
4.7 Processing
A process flowsheet was devised, based on the metallurgical testwork carried out. This resulted in a conventional tungsten plant with a circuit employing 2-stage crushing, rod-mill grinding and gravity separation in spirals and tables in parallel size streams.
A preliminary mass balance based on the sizing data and process response of the Kilba ore during the laboratory testwork was devised. All the major items of equipment to handle the duty of 750,000tpa of ore fed to the plant were sized, and up-to-date costs were used to factor an overall plant capital cost.
4.8 Metallurgical Testwork
Diagnostic metallurgical tests were carried using a composite sample from a largediameter drill core to characterise the Kilba ore in terms of its gravity-release behaviour, and to give a prediction of the overall tungsten recovery achievable into a saleable concentrate.
The tests, mainly laboratory sink-float tests in heavy liquids of various densities separating different top-sizes of ore from 10mm to 0.25mm, indicated that the tungsten is present as coarse-grained scheelite, that the optimum liberation size of the tungsten is around 1 - 2mm, and that it should respond well to conventional gravity separation using, for example, spirals and shaking tables. An overall tungsten recovery of at least 80% was indicated.
Follow-up gravity separation testwork to verify the gravity response of the ore was These tests comprised shaking table trial separations, and further conducted. demonstrated that there should be no issues in producing a concentrate from the Kilba ore with a high tungsten recovery.
There was no magnetic or paramagnetic fraction in the sample tested, nor any sulphides. However, these may occur in practice and the process design does cater for their removal from the gravity concentrate.

Mintrex estimated the plant capital cost by first deriving a viable process flowsheet based on the testwork results, then determining a major equipment list for the scale of operation envisaged (750,000t per annum) utilising industry standard plant availability and utilisation for this type of plant, based on a continuous working roster schedule.
Directors' Report (continued)
4.11 Capital Expenditure (continued)
The capital cost of the processing plant to the following specification was estimated.
- Annual duty: 750,000tpa $\bullet$
- Utilisation: 7,500 hours per year $\bullet$
- Name plate capacity: 100t/h
- Two-stage crushing circuit $\bullet$
- 200t surge bin $\bullet$
- Open-circuit rod mill to 1.5mm $\bullet$
- 3-stage spirals
- Regrind ball mill
- 2-stage tables
- Classification by high-frequency screens

Directors' Report (continued)
$5.1$ Gascoyne Projects
Love's Find
During January known occurrences of tungsten mineralisation at Love's Find were visited and found to be associated with calc-silicate units and garnet skarns. The Company intends to complete detailed geological mapping and surface sampling over the tungsten occurrences followed by broad spaced drill-testing of targets generated.
Mineralisation is hosted by carbonate units of the Morrissey Metamorphic suite and considered to be similar to that present at Kilba.
Whiskey Pool
The Whiskey Pool pit was also visited in January to assess the prospectivity of the tenement, style and controls on tungsten mineralisation present. Mineralisation was found to be associated with wolframite in tourmaline-bearing quartz- (feldspar) veins and potential exists for small high-grade shoots that would complement the Kilba project. Reconnaissance mapping is planned to assess these style of mineralisation.

Figure 10: Known tungsten occurrences and the company's tenements in the Gascoyne region.
Koolyanobbing $5.2$
During the reporting period a review of previous exploration was undertaken on the Koolyanobbing project near Southern Cross, including reconnaissance trips to evaluate historic exploration and tungsten mineralisation present.
Ultra violet lamping of trenches confirmed the presence of two mineralised structures that host high-grade quartz-scheelite veins that warrant further investigation. This work has allowed Tungsten Mining to identify the more prospective zones and work will focus on these areas.

Directors' Report (continued)
This report outlines the remuneration arrangements in place for Key Management Personnel (KMP) of the Group.
KMP's Remuneration Policy
- (a) The policy of the Group is to pay remuneration of KMP in line with employment market conditions relevant in the mining industry. Minor amounts of employee fringe benefits in the form of employee meals and entertainment are provided as part of the executives' way of conducting business.
- (b) The Groups performance, and hence that of its KMP, is measured in terms of a combination of Group share price growth, cash raised, exploration carried out and farm in expenditure attracted.
Relationship between Remuneration Policy and Company Performancce
Objective
The Company aims to reward executives with a level and mix of remuneration commensurate with their position and responsibilities within the Company and so as to:
- reward executives for Company, business team and individual performance; $\blacksquare$
- align the interests of executives with those of shareholders; and
- ensure total remuneration is competitive by market standards.
Strructure
- At this time, the cash component of remuneration paid to the Executive director, the Company Secretary and other senior managers is not dependent upon the satisfaction of performance conditions.
- It is current policy that some executives be engaged by way of consultancy agreements with $\blacksquare$ the Company, under which they receive a contract rate based upon the number of hours of service supplied to the Company. There is provision for yearly review and adjustment based on consumer price indices. Such remuneration is hence not dependent upon the achievement of specific performance conditions. This policy is considered to be appropriate for the Company, having regard to the current state of its development.
- Executive directors are encouraged by the Board to hold shares in the Company (purchased on market and in accordance with the Company's approved policies to ensure there is no insider trading). It is considered good governance for directors of a company to have a stake in that company. The Executive directors of the Company may also participate in the share and option plans as described in this report.

Corporate Governance Statement
The Company is committed to implementing the highest standards of corporate governance. In determining what those high standards should involve the Company has considered the ASX Corporate Governance Council's Principles of Good Corporate Governance and Recommendations.
In line with the above, the Board has set out the way forward for the Company in its implementation of its Principles of Good Corporate Governance and Recommendations. The approach taken by the board was to set a blueprint for the Company to follow as it introduces elements of the governance process. Due to the current size of the Company and the scale of its operations it is neither practical nor economic for the adoption of all of the recommendations approved via the board charter. Where the Company has not adhered to the recommendations it has stated that fact in this Corporate Governance Statement however has set out a mandate for future compliance when the size of the Company and the scale of its operations warrants the introduction of those recommendations.
$1.$ Board of Directors
$1.1$ Role of the Board
The Board's role is to govern the Company rather than to manage it. In governing the Company, the Directors must act in the best interests of the Company as a whole. It is the role of senior management to manage the Company in accordance with the direction and delegations of the Board and the responsibility of the Board to oversee the activities of management in carrying out those delegated duties.
In carrying out its governance role, the main task of the Board is to drive the performance of the Company. The Board must also ensure that the Company complies with all of its contractual, statutory and any other legal obligations, including the requirements of any regulatory body. The Board has the final responsibility for the successful operations of the Company. To assist the Board carry its functions, it has developed a Code of Conduct to guide the Directors. A copy of the Code of Conduct is available on the Company's website (tungstenmining.com).
$1.2$ Composition of the Board
To add value to the Company the Board has been formed so that it has effective composition, size and commitment to adequately discharge it responsibilities and duties. The names of the Directors and their qualifications and experience have been stated in the Directors' Report of the 2013 Annual Report along with the term of office held by each of the Directors. Directors are appointed based on the specific skills required by the Company and on their decision-making and judgment. The Company recognises the importance of Non-Executive Directors and the external perspective and advice that Non-Executive Directors can offer. There are currently three Non-Executive Directors on the board of the Company who are also independent directors.
An Independent Director:
-
- is a Non-Executive Director and;
-
- is not a substantial shareholder of the Company or an officer of, or otherwise associated directly with, a substantial shareholder of the Company;
-
- within the last three years has not been employed in an executive capacity by the Company or another group member, or been a Director after ceasing to hold any such employment;
TUNGSTEN MINING NL
A.C.N. 152 084 403
Corporate Governance Policy (Continued)
-
- within the last three years has not been a principal of a material professional adviser or a material consultant to the Company or another group member, or an employee materially associated with the service provided;
-
- is not a material supplier or customer of the Company or another group member, or an officer of or otherwise associated directly or indirectly with a material supplier or customer;
-
- has no material contractual relationship with the Company or other group member other than as a Director of the Company;
-
- has not served on the Board for a period which could, or could reasonably be perceived to, materially interfere with the Director's ability to act in the best interests of the Company; and
-
- is free from any interest and any business or other relationship which could, or could reasonably be perceived to, materially interfere with the Director's ability to act in the best interests of the Company.
Materiality for the purposes of points 1 to 8 above is determined on the basis of both quantitative and qualitative aspects with regard to the independence of Directors. An amount over 5% of the Company's expenditure or 10% of the particular directors annual gross income is considered to be material. A period of more than six years as a Director would be considered material when assessing independence.
Mr Patrick McManus is a Non-Executive Director and Chairman of the Company and meets the Company's criteria for independence.
Mr Francis Loh is a Non-Executive Director of the Company and meets the Company's criteria for independence.
Mr Paul Berndt is an Executive Director of the Company and does not meet the Company's criteria for independence. However, his experience and knowledge of the Company makes his contribution to the Board such that it is appropriate for him to remain on the Board.

Notes to Financial Statements
Note 1: Corporate Information
Tungsten Mining NL ("the Company") is a public no liability company and was incorporated on 13 July 2011 in Australia. The consolidated financial report of the Company for the year ended 30 June 2013 comprises the Company and its subsidiary (together referred to as the "consolidated entity"). The consolidated entity's principal activities are mineral exploration and production.
The nature of operations and principal activities of the consolidated entity are described in the directors' report.
Note 2: Statement of significant accounting policies
Basis of preparation $(a)$
The consolidated financial report is a general purpose financial report, which has been prepared in accordance with the requirements of the Corporations Act 2001, Australian Accounting Standards and Interpretations, and other authoritative pronouncements of the Australian Accounting Standards Board. Compliance with Australian Accounting Standards ensures that the financial statements and notes also comply with International Financial Reporting Standards as issued by the IASB.
The consolidated financial report has also been prepared on an accruals and historical cost basis. Cost is based on the fair values of the consideration given in exchange of assets.
The consolidated financial report is presented in Australian dollars.
The accounting policies detailed below have been consistently throughout the period presented unless otherwise stated.
Going Concern
The financial statements have been prepared on the going concern basis, which contemplates the continuation of normal business activity and the realisation of assets and the settlement of liabilities in the normal course of business.
As at 30 June 2013, the consolidated entity has approximately \$673,988 in cash and cash equivalents. The directors recognise that the ability of the consolidated entity to continue as a going concern and to pay its debts as and when they fall due is dependent on the ability of the consolidated entity to secure additional funding.
The directors have reviewed the business outlook and are of the opinion that the use of the going concern basis of accounting is appropriate as they believe the consolidated entity will achieve the matters set out above. As such, the directors believe that they will continue to be successful in securing additional funds as and when the need to raise working capital arises.
Should the consolidated entity be unable to continue as a going concern, it may be required to realise its assets and extinguish its liabilities other than in the normal course of business and at amounts different from those stated in the financial report.
Notes to Financial Statements
Note 2: Statement of significant accounting policies (continued)
The financial report does not include any adjustments relating to the recoverability and classification of recorded asset amounts nor to the amounts and classification of liabilities that may be necessary should the consolidated entity be unable to continue as a going concern.
Comparative figures
The company was incorporated on 13 July 2011. Therefore, comparative figures for the period 13 July 2011 to 30 June 2012 are not necessarily comparable to figures for the current period.
$(b)$ New Accounting Standards for Application in Future Periods
The AASB has issued a number of new and amended Accounting Standards and Interpretations that have mandatory application dates for future reporting periods, some of which are relevant to the consolidated entity. The consolidated entity has decided not to early adopt any of the new and amended pronouncements. The consolidated entity's assessment of the new and amended pronouncements that are relevant to the consolidated entity but applicable in future reporting periods is set out below:
AASB 9: Financial Instruments (December 2010) and AASB 2010-7: Amendments to Australian Accounting Standards arising from AASB 9 (December 2010) [AASB 1, 3, 4, 5, 7, 101, 102, 108, 112, 118, 120, 121, 127, 128, 131, 132, 136, 137, 139, 1023 & 1038 and Interpretations 2, 5, 10, 12, 19 & 127] (applicable for annual reporting periods commencing on or after 1 January 2015).
These Standards are applicable retrospectively and include revised requirements for the classification and measurement of financial instruments, as well as recognition and derecognition requirements for financial instruments.
The key changes made to accounting requirements include:
- simplifying the classifications of financial assets into those carried at amortised cost and those carried at fair value;
- simplifying the requirements for embedded derivatives; $\bullet$
- removing the tainting rules associated with held-to-maturity assets;
- removing the requirements to separate and fair value embedded derivatives for financial $\bullet$ assets carried at amortised cost;
- allowing an irrevocable election on initial recognition to present gains and losses on investments in equity instruments that are not held for trading in other comprehensive income. Dividends in respect of these investments that are a return on investment can be recognised in profit or loss and there is no impairment or recycling on disposal of the instrument;
requiring financial assets to be reclassified where there is a change in an entity's business model as they are initially classified based on: (a) the objective of the entity's business model for managing the financial assets; and (b) the characteristics of the contractual cash flows; and
requiring an entity that chooses to measure a financial liability at fair value to present the portion of the change in its fair value due to changes in the entity's own credit risk in other comprehensive income, except when that would create an accounting mismatch. If such a mismatch would be created or enlarged, the entity is required to present all changes in fair value (including the effects of changes in the credit risk of the liability) in profit or loss.
Notes to Financial Statements
Note 2: Statement of significant accounting policies (continued)
The consolidated entity has not yet been able to reasonably estimate the impact of these pronouncements on its financial statements.
AASB 10: Consolidated Financial Statements, AASB 11: Joint Arrangements, AASB 12: Disclosure of Interests in Other Entities, AASB 127: Separate Financial Statements (August 2011), AASB 128: Investments in Associates and Joint Ventures (August 2011) and AASB 2011-7: Amendments to Australian Accounting Standards arising from the Consolidation and Joint Arrangements Standards [AASB 1, 2, 3, 5, 7, 9, 2009-11, 101, 107, 112, 118, 121, 124, 132, 133, 136, 138, 139, 1023 & 1038 and Interpretations 5, 9, 16 & 17] (applicable for annual reporting periods commencing on or after 1 January 2013).
AASB 10 replaces parts of AASB 127: Consolidated and Separate Financial Statements (March 2008, as amended) and Interpretation 112: Consolidation - Special Purpose Entities. AASB 10 provides a revised definition of control and additional application guidance so that a single control model will apply to all investees.
AASB 10 is not expected to impact on the consolidated entity.
AASB 11 replaces AASB 131: Interests in Joint Ventures (July 2004, as amended). AASB 11 requires joint arrangements to be classified as either "joint operations" (where the parties that have joint control of the arrangement have rights to the assets and obligations for the liabilities) or "joint ventures" (where the parties that have joint control of the arrangement have rights to the net assets of the arrangement). Joint ventures are required to adopt the equity method of accounting (proportionate consolidation is no longer allowed). AASB 11 is not expected to impact on the consolidated entity.
AASB 12 contains the disclosure requirements applicable to entities that hold an interest in a subsidiary, joint venture, joint operation or associate. AASB 12 also introduces the concept of a "structured entity", replacing the "special purpose entity" concept currently used in Interpretation 112, and requires specific disclosures in respect of any investments in unconsolidated structured entities.
This Standard will affect disclosures only and is not expected to significantly impact the consolidated entity.
AASB 13: Fair Value Measurement and AASB 2011-8: Amendments to Australian Accounting Standards arising from AASB 13 [AASB 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 7, 9, 2009-11, 2010-7, 101, 102, 108, 110, 116, 117, 118, 119, 120, 121, 128, 131, 132, 133, 134, 136, 138, 139, 140, 141, 1004, 1023 & 1038 and Interpretations 2, 4, 12, 13, 14, 17, 19, 131 & 132] (applicable for annual reporting periods commencing on or after 1 January 2013).
AASB 13 defines fair value, sets out in a single Standard a framework for measuring fair value, and requires disclosures about fair value measurement.
Notes to Financial Statements
Note 2: Statement of significant accounting policies (continued)
AASB 13 requires:
- inputs to all fair value measurements to be categorised in accordance with a fair value hierarchy; and
- enhanced disclosures regarding all assets and liabilities (including, but not limited to, financial $\bullet$ assets and financial liabilities) to be measured at fair value.
These Standards are not expected to significantly impact the consolidated entity.
AASB 119: Employee Benefits (September 2011) and AASB 2011-10: Amendments to Australian Accounting Standards arising from AASB 119 (September 2011) [AASB 1, AASB 8, AASB 101, AASB 124, AASB 134, AASB 1049 & AASB 2011-8 and Interpretation 14] (applicable for annual reporting periods commencing on or after 1 January 2013).
These Standards introduce a number of changes to accounting and presentation of defined benefit plans. The Company does not have any defined benefit plans and so is not impacted by the amendment.
AASB 119 (September 2011) also includes changes to the accounting for termination benefits that require an entity to recognise an obligation for such benefits at the earlier of:
- for an offer that may be withdrawn when the employee accepts; $(i)$
- for an offer that cannot be withdrawn when the offer is communicated to affected $(ii)$ employees; and
- where the termination is associated with a restructuring of activities under AASB 137: $(iii)$ Provisions, Contingent Liabilities and Contingent Assets, and if earlier than the first two conditions - when the related restructuring costs are recognised.
This review of AASB 119 is not expected to impact on the consolidated entity.
Critical accounting estimates and judgements $(c)$
The application of accounting policies requires the use of judgements, estimates and assumptions about carrying values of assets and liabilities that are not readily apparent form other sources. The estimates and associated assumptions are based on historical experience and other factors that are considered to be relevant. Actual results may differ from these estimates.
The estimates and underlying assumptions are reviewed on an ongoing basis. Revisions are recognised in the period in which the estimate is revised if it affects only that period, or in the period of the revision and future periods if the revision affects both current and future periods.
Recovery of deferred tax assets
Deferred tax assets are recognised for deductible temporary differences only when management considers that it is probable that sufficient future tax profits will be available to utilise those temporary differences. Significant management judgement is required to determine the amount of deferred tax assets that can be recognised, based upon the likely timing and the level of future taxable profits over the next two years together with future tax planning strategies.
Notes to Financial Statements
Note 2: Statement of significant accounting policies (continued)
Mineral acquisition costs
The consolidated entity capitalises and carries forward mineral acquisition costs that are expected to be recouped through sale or successful development and exploitation of the area of interest or, where exploration and evaluation activities in the area of interest have not reached a stage that permits reasonable assessment of the existence of economically recoverable reserves.
Exploration and evaluation expenditure $(d)$
Exploration and evaluation costs are expensed in the period they are incurred apart from mineral acquisition costs, which are capitalised and carried forward where right to tenure of the area of interest is current and they are expected to be recouped through sale or successful development and exploitation of the area of interest, or where exploration and evaluation activities in the area of interest have not reached a stage that permits reasonable assessment of the existence of economically recoverable reserves.
Where an area of interest is abandoned or the directors decide that it is not commercial, any accumulated mineral acquisition costs in respect of that area are written off in the financial period the decision is made. Each area of interest is also reviewed at the end of each accounting period and capitalised costs written off to the extent it is deemed that they will not be recoverable in the future.
Amortisation is not charged on costs carried forward in respect of areas of interest in the development phase until production commences.
$(e)$ Plant & Equipment
Plant and equipment is stated at historical cost less accumulated depreciation and any accumulated impaired in value. Depreciation is calculated on a straight-line basis over the estimated useful life of the asset as follows:
Plant and equipment - over 2 to 5 years
Impairment
The carrying values of plant and equipment are reviewed for impairment when events or changes in circumstances indicate the carrying value may not be recoverable.
For an asset that does not generate largely independent cash inflows, the recoverable amount is determined for the cash-generating unit to which the asset belongs.
If any indication exists of impairment and where the carrying values exceed the estimated recoverable amount, the assets or cash-generating units are written down to their recoverable amount.
TUNGSTEN MINING NL
A.C.N. 152 084 403
Notes to Financial Statements
Note 2: Statement of significant accounting policies (continued)
$(e)$ Plant & Equipment (continued)
The recoverable amount of plant and equipment is the greater of fair value less costs to sell and value in use. In assessing value in use, the estimated future cash flows are discounted to their present value using a pre-tax discount rate that reflects current market assessments of the time value of money and the risks specific to the asset.
Derecognition
An item of plant and equipment is derecognised upon disposal or when no future economic benefits are expected to arise from the continued use of the asset. Any gain or loss arising on derecognition of the asset (calculated as the difference between the net disposal proceeds and the carrying amount of the item) is included in the statement of comprehensive income in the period the item is derecognised.
$(f)$ Income tax
Current tax assets and liabilities for the period is measured at amounts expected to be recovered from or paid to the taxation authorities based on the current year's taxable income. The tax rates and tax laws used for computations are enacted or substantively enacted by the balance date.
Deferred income tax is provided on all temporary differences at balance date between the tax bases of assets and liabilities and their carrying amounts for financial reporting purposes.
Deferred income tax liabilities are recognised for all taxable temporary differences except where the deferred income tax liability arises from the initial recognition of goodwill of an asset or liability in a transaction that is not a business combination and, at the time of the transaction, affects neither the accounting profit nor taxable profit or loss.
Deferred income tax assets are recognised for all deductible temporary differences, carry-forward of unused tax credits and unused tax losses, to the extent that it is probable that taxable profit will be available against which the deductible temporary differences, and the carry-forward of unused tax assets and unused tax losses can be utilised except where the deferred income tax asset relating to the deductible temporary difference arises from the initial recognition of an asset or liability in a transaction that is not a business combination and, at the time of the transaction, affects neither the accounting profit nor taxable profit or loss.
The carrying amount of deferred income tax assets is reviewed at each balance date and reduced to the extent that it is no longer probable that sufficient taxable profit will be available to allow all or part of the deferred income tax asset to be utilised.
Unrecognised deferred income tax assets are reassessed at each balance date and are recognised to the extent that it has become probable that future taxable profit will allow the deferred tax asset to be recovered.
Notes to Financial Statements
Note 2: Statement of significant accounting policies (continued)
Income tax (continued) $(f)$
Deferred income tax assets and liabilities are measured at the tax rates that are expected to apply to the year when the asset is realised or the liability is settled, based on tax rates (and tax laws) that have been enacted or substantively enacted at the balance date.
Income taxes relating to items recognised directly in equity are recognised in equity and not in the statement of comprehensive income.
Deferred tax assets and deferred tax liabilities are offset only if a legally enforceable right exists to set off current tax assets against current tax liabilities and the deferred tax assets and liabilities relate to the same taxable entity and the same taxation authority.
GST $(g)$
Revenues, expenses and assets are recognised net of the amount of GST except:
- where the GST incurred on a purchase of goods and services is not recoverable from the taxation authority, in which case the GST is recognised as part of the cost of acquisition of the asset or as part of the expense item as applicable; and
- receivables and payables are stated with the amount of GST included.
The net amount of GST recoverable from, or payable to, the taxation authority is included as part of receivables or payables in the statement of financial position.
Cash flows are included in the Statement of Cash Flows on a gross basis and the GST component of cash flows arising from investing and financing activities, which is recoverable from, or payable to, the taxation authority, are classified as operating cash flows.
Commitments and contingencies are disclosed net of the amount of GST recoverable from, or payable to, the taxation authority.
$(h)$ Provisions and employee benefits
Provisions are recognised when the consolidated entity has a present obligation (legal or constructive) as a result of a past event, it is probable that an outflow of resources embodying economic benefits will be required to settle the obligation and a reliable estimate can be made of the amount of the obligation.
When the consolidated entity expects some or all of a provision to be reimbursed, for example under an insurance contract, the reimbursement is recognised as a separate asset but only when the reimbursement is virtually certain. The expense relating to any provision is presented in the statement of comprehensive income net of any reimbursement.
TUNGSTEN MINING NL
A.C.N. 152 084 403
Notes to Financial Statements
Note 2: Statement of significant accounting policies (continued)
Provisions and employee benefits (continued) $(h)$
Provisions are measured at the present value of management's best estimate of the expenditure required to settle the present obligation at the balance date. If the effect of the time value of money is material, provisions are discounted using a current pre-tax rate that reflects the time value of money and the risks specific to the liability. The increase in the provision resulting from the passage of time is recognised in finance costs.
Employee leave benefits
i. Wages and salaries, annual leave and sick leave
Liabilities for wages and salaries including non-monetary benefits, annual leave and accumulating sick leave due to be settled within 12 months of the reporting date are recognised in provisions in respect of employees' services up to the reporting date and are measured at the amounts expected to be paid when the liabilities are settled. Liabilities for non-accumulating sick leave are recognised when the leave is taken and measured at the rates paid or payable.
ii. Long service leave
The liability for long service leave is recognised and measured as the present value of expected future payments to be made in respect of services provided by employees up to the reporting date using the projected unit credit method. Consideration is given to the expected future wage and salary levels, experience of employee departures and periods of service. Expected future payments are discounted using market yields at the reporting date on national government bonds with terms to maturity and currency that match, as closely as possible, the estimated future cash outflows.
$(i)$ Cash and cash equivalents
Cash and cash equivalents in the statement of financial position comprise cash at bank and in hand and short-term deposits with an original maturity of three months or less.
For the purposes of the Statement of Cash Flow, cash and cash equivalents consist of cash and cash equivalents as defined above, net of outstanding bank overdrafts.
$(i)$ Receivables
Receivables, which generally have 30-90 day terms, are recognised initially at fair value and subsequently measured at amortised cost using the effective interest rate method, less an allowance for any uncollectible amounts.
Collectability or receivables are reviewed on an ongoing basis. Debts that are known to be uncollectible are written off when identified. An allowance for doubtful debts is raised when there is objective evidence that the consolidated entity will not be able to collect the debt.
$(k)$ Revenue recognition
Revenue is recognised and measured at the fair value of the consideration received or receivable to the extent that it is probable that the economic benefits will flow to the consolidated entity and the revenue can be reliably measured.
Notes to Financial Statements
Note 2: Statement of significant accounting policies (continued)
Contributed equity $(1)$
Ordinary shares are classified as equity. Incremental costs directly attributable to the issue of new shares or options are shown in equity as a deduction, net of tax, from the proceeds.
(m) Trade and other payables
Trade payables and other payables are carried at amortised costs and represent liabilities for goods and services provided to the Company prior to the end of the financial year that are unpaid and arise when the consolidated entity becomes obliged to make future payments in respect of the purchase of these goods and services.
Earnings/(Loss) per share $(n)$
Basic earnings/(loss) per share is calculated as net profit attributable to members of the consolidated entity adjusted to exclude any costs of servicing equity (other than dividends) divided by the weighted average number of ordinary shares, adjusted for any bonus element.
Options that are considered to be dilutive are taken into consideration when calculating the diluted earnings per share.
Investments and other financial assets $(o)$
Financial assets in the scope of AASB 139 Financial Instruments: Recognition and Measurement are classified as either financial assets at fair value through profit or loss, loans and receivables, held-tomaturity investments, or available-for-sale financial assets. When financial assets are recognised initially, they are measured at fair value, plus, in the case of investments not at fair value through profit or loss, directly attributable transaction costs. The Company determines the classification of its financial assets after initial recognition and, when allowed and appropriate, re-evaluates this designation at each financial year-end.
(i) Held-to-maturity investments
Non-derivative financial assets with fixed or determinable payments and fixed maturity are classified as held-to-maturity when the Company has the positive intention and ability to hold to maturity. Investments intended to be held for an undefined period are not included in this classification. Investments that are intended to be held-to maturity, such as bonds, are subsequently measured at amortised cost. This cost is computed as the amount initially recognised minus principal repayments, plus or minus the cumulative amortisation using the effective interest method of any difference between the initially recognised amount and the maturity amount. This calculation includes all fees and points paid or received between parties to the contract that are an integral part of the effective interest rate, transaction costs and all other premiums and discounts. For investments carried at amortised cost, gains and losses are recognised in profit and loss when the investment are derecognised or impaired, as well as through the amortisation process.
(ii)Loans and receivables
Loans and receivables are non-derivative financial assets with fixed or determinable payments that are not quoted in an active market. Such assets are carried at amortised cost using the effective interest method. Gains and losses are recognised in profit and loss when the loans and receivables are derecognised or impaired, as well as through the amortisation process.
TUNGSTEN MINING NL
A.C.N. 152 084 403
Notes to Financial Statements
Note 2: Statement of significant accounting policies (continued)
$(p)$ Impairment of financial assets
The Company assesses at each balance date whether a financial asset or group of financial assets is impaired.
Available-for-sale investments
If there is objective evidence that an available-for-sale investment is impaired, an amount comprising the difference between its cost and its current fair value, less any impairment loss previously recognised in profit and loss, is transferred from equity to the statement of comprehensive income. Reversals of impairment losses for equity instruments classified as availablefor-sale are not recognised in profit. Reversals of impairment losses for debt instruments are reversed through profit and loss if the increase in an instrument's fair value can be objectively related to an event occurring after the impairment loss was recognised in profit or loss.
$(q)$ Leases
Operating Lease payments are recognised as an operating expense in the statement of profit or loss and other comprehensive income on a straight-line basis over the lease term. Operating lease incentives are recognised as a liability when received and subsequently reduced by allocating lease payments between rental expense and the reduction of the liability.
Share Based Payments $(r)$
Under AASB 2 Share Based Payments, the consolidated entity must recognise the fair value of options granted to directors, employees and consultants as remuneration as an expense on a prorata basis over the vesting period in the statement of profit or loss and other comprehensive income with a corresponding adjustment to equity.
The consolidated entity provides benefits to employees (including directors) of the consolidated entity in the form of share based payment transactions, whereby employees render services in exchange for shares or rights over shares ("equity-settled transactions"). The cost of these equitysettled transactions with employees (including direcotrs) is measured by reference to fair value at the date they are granted. The fair value is determined using the Black Scholes option pricing model.
Note 3: Segment information
The consolidated entity has based its operating segment on the internal reports that are reviewed and used by the chief operators decision makers (The Board) in assessing performance and in determining the allocation of resources.
The consolidated entity currently does not have production and is only involved in exploration. As a consequence, activities in the operating segment are identified by The Board based on the manner in which resources are allocated, the nature of the resources provided and the identity of the manager and country of expenditure. Information is reviewed on a whole of entity basis.
Based on these criteria the consolidated entity has only one operating segment, being exploration, and evaluation and the segment operations and results are reported internally based on the accounting policies as described in note 2 for the computation of the controlled entity's results presented in this set of financial statements.

$(b)$ Deferred tax assets
The potential deferred tax asset arising from the tax losses and temporary differences have not been recognised as an asset because recovery of tax losses is not yet probable.
The benefits will only be obtained if:
$\tilde{P}$
- The Group derives future assessable income of a nature and of an amount sufficient to $(i)$ enable the benefit from the deduction for the losses to be realised;
- The Group continues to comply with the conditions in deductibility imposed by the Law; and $(ii)$
- No change in tax legislation adversely affect the Group in realising the benefits from the $(iii)$ deductions or the losses.

Capital Management
When managing capital, the Board's objective is to ensure the entity continues as a going concern as well as to maintain optimal returns to shareholders and benefits for other stakeholder. The Board also aims to maintain a capital structure that ensures the lowest cost of capital available to the entity. As the equity market is constantly changing the Board may issue new shares to provide for future exploration and development activity. The company is not subject to any externally imposed capital requirements.

Note 23: Financial risk management objectives and policies
The consolidated entity's principal financial instrument is cash and cash equivalents. The main purpose of the financial instruments is to finance the consolidated entity's operations. The consolidated entity also has other financial instruments such as trade debtors and creditors which arise directly from its operations.
The main risks arising from the consolidated entity's financial instruments are interest rate risk and credit risk. The board reviews and agrees policies for managing each of these risks and they are summarised below:
$(a)$ Interest Rate Risk
The consolidate entity's exposure to interest rate risk, which is the risk that a financial instrument's value will fluctuate as a result of changes in market interest rates and the effective weighted average interest rate for each class of financial assets and financial liabilities is currently not significant as its cash and cash assets are currently held in non-interest bearing accounts.
The consolidated entity has not entered into any hedging activities to manage interest rate risk. In regard to its interest rate risk, the consolidated entity continuously analyses its exposure. Within this analysis consideration is given to potential renewals of existing positions, alternative investments and the mix of fixed and variable interest rates.

Notes to Financial Statements
Note 23: Financial risk management objectives and policies (continued)
A sensitivity of 10% has been selected as this is considered reasonable given the current level of both short term and long term Australian dollar interest rates. A -10% sensitivity would move short term interest rates at 30 June 2013 from around 2.75% to 2.475% representing a 27.5 basis points downwards shift, which is 19.25 basis points net of tax.
Based on the sensitivity analysis only interest revenue from variable rate deposits and cash balances is impacted resulting in a decrease or increase in overall income.
(a) Liquidity Risk
The consolidated entity manages liquidity risk by maintaining sufficient cash reserves and marketable securities required to meet the current exploration and administration commitments, through the continuous monitoring of actual cash flows.
All payables are due within 30 days.
(b) Fair Values
For financial assets and liabilities, the net fair value approximates their carrying value. No financial assets and financial liabilities are readily traded on organised markets in standardised form.
$(c)$ Credit Risk
Credit risk arises in the event that counterparty will not meet its obligations under a financial instrument leading to financial losses. The consolidated entity is exposed to credit risk from its operating activities, financing activities including deposits with banks. The credit risk control procedures adopted by the consolidated entity is to assess the credit quality of the institution with whom funds are deposited or invested, taking into account its financial position and past experiences.
The maximum exposure to credit risk on financial assets of the consolidated entity which have been recognised on the statement of financial position is generally limited to the carrying amount.
Cash is maintained with National Australia Bank.

In making those risk assessments, the auditor considers internal control relevant to the entity's preparation of the financial report that gives a true and fair view in order to design audit procedures that are appropriate in the circumstances, but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of the entity's internal control. An audit also includes evaluating the appropriateness of accounting policies used and the reasonableness of accounting estimates made by the directors, as well as evaluating the overall presentation of the financial report.
