Operating and financial review
Review of operations
Tungsten Mining NL has a strategy of becoming a globally significant producer of tungsten concentrate. This objective will be achieved by developing a portfolio of quality mineral resource assets and demonstrating capability through the production of tungsten concentrate.
During the 2018 financial year, the Group’s focus has been on the development activities at its flagship Mt Mulgine Tungsten Project in the Murchison region of Western Australia. The Mt Mulgine strategic development plan is directed at producing tungsten concentrate in early 2019 from small scale production from mining the Mulgine Hill tungsten deposit. The Group received an R&D tax offset of $204,087 (2017: $48,122) related to its research and development activities and received interest income of $253,238 (2017: $45,379) from its increased holdings of cash.
As a result of the successful equity issues completed during the year, the Group maintained substantially higher cash reserves throughout the reporting period.

Directors’ Report
In particular, at balance date the Group’s cash and cash equivalents were $34,130,400 (2017: $3,188,002). In addition (as set out at note 10) the Group held additional funds of $18,194,633 (2017: Nil) representing funds received for shares but not allotted until after year end.
The other major change in the assets of the Group was the increase in plant and equipment, which was $888,078 at balance date (2017: $83,179). This increase is largely related to the purchase in September 2017 of the secondhand heavy mineral processing plant. The plant was purchased from Pilbara Minerals Limited for a total cost of $795,347 (including transportation costs).
Significantly, the companies financing activities resulted in cash flows from financing activities of $53,313,768 (2017: $3,974,994).
As reported in the subsequent events note to this report, activities undertaken during the year were also directed at increasing the project portfolio of the Group. Tungsten Mining entered a binding term sheet in May 2018 for the purchase of the Watershed Tungsten Project, a large-scale development ready project based in Far North Queensland. The acquisition was completed in August utilising funds from the recently completed equity raising. Additionally, since the end of the reporting period, Tungsten Mining has contracted to purchase the Hatches Creek Project, a high-grade polymetallic tungsten project based in the Northern Territory. These acquisitions and the substantial progress made on the Mt Mulgine project during the past year ideally position the Group to implement its strategic plan.
Operating results for the year
The loss after income tax benefit for the year ended 30 June 2018 was $4,195,372 (2017: $2,469,570), which included an expense of $3,170,388 (2017: $1,464,568) of exploration expenditure.

Directors’ Report
Remuneration Report (Audited)
This report outlines the remuneration arrangements in place for Key Management Personnel (KMP) of the Group.
KMP’s Remuneration Policy
-
The policy of the Group is to pay remuneration of KMP in line with employment market conditions relevant in the minerals exploration industry.
-
The Group’s performance, and hence that of its KMP, is measured in terms of a combination of Group share price growth, its liquidity and the success of its exploration and development activities.
Relationship between Remuneration Policy and Company Performance
Objective
The Company aims to reward executives with a level and mix of remuneration commensurate with their position and responsibilities within the Group and so as to:
-
reward executives for Group, business team and individual performance;
-
align the interests of executives with those of shareholders; and
-
ensure total remuneration is competitive by market standards.
Structure
-
At this time, the cash component of remuneration paid to the Directors, 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 the Group, under which they receive a contract rate based upon the number of hours of service supplied to the Group. 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 Group, having regard to the current state of its development.
-
The Group has an agreement for the provision of management and technical services to the Group by GWR Group Ltd (“GWR”). Certain executives are employees of GWR and, other than the benefit of share and option plans, are remunerated by GWR and not the Group.
-
The Company recognises the benefit of directors, managers and other employees of the Group holding securities in the Company and directors are encouraged to hold shares, provided that any trading is consistent with its Policy for Trading in Company Securities. The Directors, officers and employees of the Group may also participate in the share and option plans as described in this report.

Notes to Financial Statements for the year ended 30 June 2018
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 2018 comprises the Company and its subsidiaries (together referred to as the “Group”). The Group’s principal activities are mineral exploration, evaluation and development.
The nature of operations and principal activities of the Group are described in the directors’ report.
Note 2: Statement of significant accounting policies
(a) Basis of preparation
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 followed throughout the period presented unless otherwise stated.
(b) New accounting standards and interpretations
New and amended standards adopted
The Group has considered the implications of new and amended Accounting Standards applicable for annual reporting periods beginning on or after 1 July 2017 and determined that their application to the financial statements is not relevant or material.
Other standards not yet applicable
A number of new standards, amendments to standards and interpretations issued by the AASB which are not yet mandatorily applicable to the Group have not been applied in preparing these consolidated financial statements. Those which may be relevant to the Group are set out below. The Group does not plan to adopt these standards early.
AASB 9: Financial Instruments and associated Amending Standards (applicable for annual reporting period commencing 1 January 2018)
The Standard will be applicable retrospectively (subject to the provisions on hedge accounting outlined below) and includes revised requirements for the classification and measurement of financial instruments, revised recognition and derecognition requirements for financial instruments and simplified requirements for hedge accounting.
The key changes that may affect the Group on initial application include certain simplifications to the classification of financial assets, simplifications to the accounting of embedded derivatives, upfront accounting for expected credit loss, and the irrevocable election to recognise gains and losses on investments in equity instruments that are not held for trading in other comprehensive income. AASB 9 also introduces a new model for hedge accounting that will allow greater flexibility in the ability to hedge risk, particularly with respect to hedges of non-financial items. Should the entity elect to change its hedge policies in line with the new hedge accounting requirements of the Standard, the application of such accounting would be largely prospective.
Although the directors anticipate that the adoption of AASB 9 may have an impact on the Group’s financial instruments, it is impractical at this stage to provide a reasonable estimate of such impact.
18
Notes to Financial Statements for the year ended 30 June 2018
Note 2: Statement of significant accounting policies (continued)
(b) New accounting standards and interpretations (continued)
AASB 15: Revenue from Contracts with Customers (applicable to annual reporting periods commencing on or after 1 January 2018).
When effective, this Standard will replace the current accounting requirements applicable to revenue with a single, principles-based model. Apart from a limited number of exceptions, including leases, the new revenue model in AASB 15 will apply to all contracts with customers as well as non-monetary exchanges between entities in the same line of business to facilitate sales to customers and potential customers.
The core principle of the Standard is that an entity will recognise revenue to depict the transfer of promised goods or services to customers in an amount that reflects the consideration to which the entity expects to be entitled in exchange for the goods or services. To achieve this objective, AASB 15 provides the following five-step process:
-
identify the contract(s) with a customer;
-
identify the performance obligations in the contract(s);
-
determine the transaction price;
-
allocate the transaction price to the performance obligations in the contract(s); and
-
recognise revenue when (or as) the performance obligations are satisfied.
This Standard will require retrospective restatement, as well as enhanced disclosures regarding revenue. The directors anticipate that the adoption of AASB 15 is unlikely to have a significant impact on the Group's financial statements as the Group does not currently have revenue from contracts with customers.
AASB 16: Leases (applicable to annual reporting periods commencing on or after 1 January 2019).
When effective, this Standard will replace the current accounting requirements applicable to leases in AASB 117: Leases and related interpretations. AASB 16 introduces a single lessee accounting model that eliminates the requirement for leases to be classified as either operating leases or finance leases. Lessor accounting remains similar to current practice.
The main changes introduced by the new Standard are as follows:
-
recognition of the right-to-use asset and liability for all leases (excluding short term leases with less than 12 months of tenure and leases relating to low value assets);
-
depreciating the right-to-use assets in line with AASB 116: Property, Plant and Equipment in profit or loss and unwinding of the liability in principal and interest components;
-
inclusion of variable lease payments that depend on an index or a rate in the initial measurement of the lease liability using the index or rate at the commencement date;
-
application of a practical expedient to permit a lessee to elect not to separate non-lease components and instead account for all components as a lease; and
-
additional disclosure requirements.
The transitional provisions of AASB 16 allow a lease to either retrospectively apply the Standard to comparatives in line with AASB 108 or recognise the cumulative effect of retrospective application as an adjustment to opening equity at the date of initial application. Although the directors anticipate that the adoption of AASB 16 may have an impact on the Group's financial statements, it is impracticable at this stage to provide a reasonable estimate of such impact.
Other standards not yet applicable
There are no other standards that are not yet effective and that would be expected to have a material impact on the entity in the current or future reporting periods and on foreseeable future transactions.
19
Notes to Financial Statements for the year ended 30 June 2018
Note 2: Statement of significant accounting policies (continued)
(c) Critical accounting estimates and judgements
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 from 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.
Mineral acquisition costs
The Group 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.
(d) Exploration and evaluation expenditure
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 3 to 25 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.
20
Notes to Financial Statements for the year ended 30 June 2018
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 profit or loss 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.
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.
21
Notes to Financial Statements for the year ended 30 June 2018
Note 2: Statement of significant accounting policies (continued)
(g) Goods and services tax
Revenues, expenses and assets are recognised net of the amount of Goods and services tax (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 Consolidated 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 Group 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 Group 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.
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 Consolidated Statement of Cash Flows, cash and cash equivalents consist of cash and cash equivalents as defined above, net of outstanding bank overdrafts.
22
Notes to Financial Statements for the year ended 30 June 2018
Note 2: Statement of significant accounting policies (continued)
(j) 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 Group 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 Group and the revenue can be reliably measured. R&D tax rebates are recognised when the receipts are deemed probable and the amounts can be measured reliably.
(l) Contributed equity
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 Group prior to the end of the financial year that are unpaid and arise when the Group becomes obliged to make future payments in respect of the purchase of these goods and services.
(n) Earnings/(Loss) per share
Basic earnings/(loss) per share is calculated as net profit/(loss) attributable to members of the Group 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.
(o) Investments and other financial assets
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-to-maturity 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.
23
Notes to Financial Statements for the year ended 30 June 2018
Note 2: Statement of significant accounting policies (continued)
(o) Investments and other financial assets (continued)
(i) Held-to-maturity investments
Non-derivative financial assets with fixed or determinable payments and fixed maturity are classified as held-tomaturity 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 investments 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.
(iii) Fair value hierarchy
AASB 13 requires the disclosure of fair value information by level of the fair value hierarchy, which categorises fair value measurements into one of three possible levels based on the lowest level that an input that is significant to the measurement can be categorised into as follows:
Level 1
Measurements based on quoted prices (unadjusted) in active markets for identical assets or liabilities that the entity can access at the measurement date.
Level 2
Measurements based on inputs other than quoted prices included in Level 1 that are observable for the asset or liability, either directly or indirectly.
Level 3
Measurements based on unobservable inputs for the asset or liability.
The fair values of assets and liabilities that are not traded in an active market are determined using one or more valuation techniques. These valuation techniques maximise, to the extent possible, the use of observable market data. If all significant inputs required to measure fair value are observable, the asset or liability is included in Level 2. If one or more significant inputs are not based on observable market data, the asset or liability is included in Level 3.
The Group would change the categorisation within the fair value hierarchy only in the following circumstances:
-
if a market that was previously considered active (Level 1) became inactive (Level 2 or Level 3) or vice versa; or
-
if significant inputs that were previously unobservable (Level 3) became observable (Level 2) or vice versa.
When a change in the categorisation occurs, the Group recognises transfers between levels of the fair value hierarchy (i.e. transfers into and out of each level of the fair value hierarchy) on the date the event or change in circumstances occurred.

Note 2: Statement of significant accounting policies (continued)
(p) Impairment of financial assets
The Group 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 profit or loss and other comprehensive income. Reversals of impairment losses for equity instruments classified as available-for-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.
(r) Share Based Payments
Under AASB 2 Share Based Payments, the Group must recognise the fair value of options granted to directors, employees and consultants/contractors as remuneration as an expense on a pro-rata basis over the vesting period in the Consolidated Statement of Profit or Loss and Other Comprehensive income with a corresponding adjustment to equity.
The Group provides benefits to employees (including directors) and consultants/contractors of the Group 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 equity-settled transactions with employees (including directors) and consultants/contractors 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 Group 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 Group currently does not have production and is only involved in exploration and evaluation. 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 Group 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.

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 stakeholders. 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 21: Financial risk management objectives and policies
The Group’s principal financial instruments are cash and cash equivalents. The main purpose of the financial instruments is to finance the Group’s operations. The Group’s also has other financial instruments such as restricted cash, trade debtors and creditors which arise directly from its operations.
The main risks arising from the Group’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
Interest rate risk is the risk that a financial instrument’s value will fluctuate as a result of changes in market interest rates. The Group’s exposure to interest rate risk is detailed in the table below.
The Group’s has not entered into any hedging activities to manage interest rate risk. In regard to its interest rate risk, the Group’s 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.
