About Tungsten Mining

Emerging Australian tungsten developer, Tungsten Mining NL is an Australian based resources company listed on the Australian Securities Exchange. The Company’s prime focus is the exploration and development of tungsten projects in Australia.

Tungsten (chemical symbol W), occurs naturally on earth, not in its pure form but as a constituent of other minerals, only two of which support current commercial extraction and processing - wolframite ((Fe, Mn)WO4) and scheelite (CaWO4).

Tungsten has the highest melting point of all elements except carbon – around 3400°C giving it excellent high temperature mechanical properties and the lowest expansion coefficient of all metals. Tungsten is a metal of considerable strategic importance, essential to modern industrial development (across aerospace and defence, electronics, automotive, extractive and construction sectors) with uses in cemented carbides, high-speed steels and super alloys, tungsten mill products and chemicals.

Through exploration and acquisition, the Company has established a globally significant tungsten resource inventory in its portfolio of advanced mineral projects across Australia. This provides the platform for the Company to become a major player within the global primary tungsten market through the development of low-cost tungsten concentrate production.

Chairman’s Letter

Dear Shareholders,

The past year has been one of transition for Tungsten Mining NL, as we move from a focus on project work and feasibility studies to one that is directed at partnering to ensure the successful development of our flagship, Mt Mulgine Tungsten Project (“Project”).

Whilst the global pandemic has presented a number of obstacles to engaging with potential international partners, we are now seeing a reopening of borders facilitating travel and the opportunity for a more direct engagement with players in the global tungsten industry and those seeking exposure to it.

In January 2022 we entered into a non-binding memorandum of understanding (“MoU”) with MCC International Incorporation Ltd (“MCCI”), a major global engineering company, to assist in the continued development of the Project. MCCI has extensive experience in process design, engineering and EPC contracting and can also partner with other specialist service providers, including those in Australia, to deliver a high level of services for the Project. Whilst the relationship has yet to mature beyond the MoU framework, we believe that the relationship retains the potential to provide a pathway to financing coupled with the delivery of EPC or EPCM services by MCCI.

The importance and value placed on tungsten in the global economy continues to gain prominence. Its role as a key driver of industrialisation and, as a consequence, ensuring the security of critical supply chains cannot be overstated. A raft of announcements by the Commonwealth government, in its own right or in conjunction with other Western nations illustrate the importance placed on ensuring the continued supply of critical minerals such as tungsten. Whether fulfilling its vital role to manufacturing in the form of tungsten carbide cutting tools or through innovation in applications in the chemical and electronics industry to deliver improved efficiencies in battery storage for electric vehicles, tungsten’s unique properties continue to ensure its demand into the future.

The need to build resilient supply chains in traditional industrial sectors and emerging, like clean energy, will underpin the need for development of new supplies of tungsten globally. With China reported to have produced 87% of global tungsten in 2021 and an increasing desire by Western nations to diversify and mitigate supply risk, the opportunity exists for new sources of supply of tungsten concentrate to be developed.

As stated above, our primary focus now is to engage with potential partners to support the development of the Mulgine Project and realise the potential of the substantial resource inventory controlled by the Company. This has resulted in changes to our personnel as we restructure to meet the demands of the business. We have reduced the size of our project development team and rebalanced our executive, with our former CEO Mr Craig Ferrier stepping down from a full-time executive to consulting role with the Company. We are grateful for his continued involvement after 8 years as CEO of Tungsten Mining. On behalf of the Board, I would also like to acknowledge the dedication and contribution of the other staff that have left over the past year and we wish them well in their future endeavours.

I remain confident that we have a strategy to ensure the future success of both the Mulgine Project and Tungsten Mining NL.

Yours sincerely

Review of Operations

Strategy

Tungsten Mining NL (“the Company”) is focused on the discovery and development of tungsten deposits in Australia.

Through exploration and acquisition, the Company has established a portfolio of advanced tungsten projects across Australia with the objective of controlling a globally significant inventory of inground tungsten.

Tungsten Mining continues to implement its strategy directed at building a tungsten business of scale, with a current resource inventory of 41 million MTU’s (metric tonne units) of WO3 (tungsten trioxide) and 71,000 tonnes of Mo (molybdenum), 1 million ounces of Au (gold), 44 million ounces of Ag (silver) and 92,000 tonnes of Cu (copper ) (refer to accompanying Annual Ore Reserve and Mineral Resource Statement). This provides the platform for the Company to become a globally significant player within the primary tungsten market through the development of low-cost tungsten concentrate production.

The Mt Mulgine Tungsten Project is the cornerstone of the Company’s strategic development plan, focused on demonstrating a pathway to long term sustainable mining activities.

Annual Report | 2019Annual Report | 2022

Overview

Figure 1: Project location map

During the 2022 financial year, Tungsten Mining has continued to advance the feasibility studies for the Mt Mulgine Tungsten Project and seek suitable partners capable of supporting the Project’s development. This follows reporting the successful maiden Ore Reserve and positive Pre-Feasibility Study for the Mt Mulgine Project, announced to the market on 29 January 2021, which assessed the technical and financial viability of large-scale mining and processing activities.

A PQ diamond drilling program was undertaken during the financial year to collect core for further metallurgical test work with the aim of de-risking the metallurgical flowsheet, with approximately 37 tonnes (2,647m) of core recovered. Holes were designed to collect representative material throughout the deposit within the various stages of the proposed 23-year pit design. The core recovered from the drilling program was scanned using Corescan’s

Hyperspectral Core Imager technology with the results used to assist in finalising the geo-metallurgical domaining within the Mulgine Trench deposit. The use of this material in future metallurgical test work will significantly de-risk the metallurgical flowsheet and process plant design.

In January 2022 the Company announced entering into a non-binding Memorandum of Understanding (MoU) with MCC International Incorporation Ltd (MCCI), a major global engineering company, and environmental studies continued during the financial year at Mt Mulgine.

Further details on these activities can be found elsewhere in this report and more fully in the relevant Company announcements and Quarterly Reports (refer www. tungstenmining.com).

Tungsten Mining

Project Development Activities

As outlined above, Tungsten Mining has continued to advance the feasibility studies for the Mt Mulgine Tungsten Project. A pathway to de-risk and support the successful development of the Project was mapped out following the completion of the PFS.

To advance the existing studies and to provide samples for additional metallurgical test work and geological understanding at the Project a diamond drilling program was completed at Mt Mulgine during the financial year (Figure 2).

The program consisted of 29 PQ diamond holes for 862m of percussion pre-collars and 2,647m of diamond tails across the deposit to collect sufficient material from each geo-metallurgical domain for metallurgical test work. Holes were designed to collect representative material throughout the deposit within the various stages of the proposed 23-year pit design (Figure 3).

Tungsten Mining

Project Development Activities

Diamond holes twinned previous PFS drilling and given the size of the Mulgine Trench deposit, most of the core is expected to be strongly mineralised (Figure 4).

Approximately 37 tonnes of large diameter (PQ) diamond drill core were collected. The use of this material in future metallurgical test work will significantly de-risk the metallurgical flowsheet and process plant design.

The Company has also continued to advance its understanding of mineralisation at Mt Mulgine. Geological logging, multi-element geochemistry, Hyperspectral logging by Hylogger-3, Halo spectrometry and quantitative XRD

analysis have been used to define geological domains within the Mulgine Trench deposit.

This work has allowed for a detailed understanding of weathering profiles and determination of protolith rock types. The Mulgine Trench Deposit is hosted by a dominantly mafic-ultramafic complex that was subsequently intruded by a felsic / greisen unit. Several individual basalt and ultramafic sequences can be sub-divided into individual mappable units throughout the Trench Deposit. In addition, interpretation to the geological connectivity between the Mulgine Trench and Mulgine Hill Deposits has been completed (Figure 5).

Figure 5: Interpreted geological domains (and sub-domains) at Mt Mulgine. Possible relationship / connectivity between the Mulgine Trench and Mulgine Hill deposits has been clarified for the first time.

Tungsten-molybdenum mineralisation at Mt Mulgine is associated with intense hydrothermal alteration related to intrusion of the Mulgine Granite. Several generations of veining have been recognised related to the Mt Mulgine Granite with tungsten mineralisation typically associated with 5mm to 100mm thick white to grey quartz veins. Tungsten occurs as dominantly coarse grained scheelite in or adjacent to vein margins.

Environmental studies continued at Mt Mulgine, with completion of short-range endemic (SRE) and P1 species Acacia Sulcaticaulis flora surveys on the project and adjacent tenements. The Acacia Sulcaticaulis flora survey included seed and genetic material collection to provide specific population data for the species and samples for seed viability investigations.

Annual Report | 2022

Project Development Activities

Acacia Sulcaticaulis seeding trials using seeds collected from site commenced with Natural Area, a Perth based leader in environmental management (Figure 6).

The Native Vegetation Clearing Permit (NVCP) for the Mulgine Hill deposit was formally withdrawn during the year. This decision was predicated on further progress of the larger Mt Mulgine Project.

In January 2022 the Company announced entering into a non-binding Memorandum of Understanding (MoU) with MCC International Incorporation Ltd (MCCI), a major global engineering company, to establish a program of collaboration between MCCI and the Company in respect

to the completion of feasibility studies at Mt Mulgine. As contemplated under the MoU framework with MCCI, discussions occurred on a proposal from MCCI for a metallurgical test work program using a composite sample. Whilst the parties remain in discussion, no agreement has yet been reached concerning the testwork proposal or other matters contemplated by the MoU.

As a pre-curser to this proposed program, a bulk sample of reserve material used for the PFS is undergoing preliminary “whole of ore” flotation test work in order to evaluate its viability to produce a saleable scheelite concentrate.

Mt Mulgine Project, Murchison WA

The Mt Mulgine Project remains the highest priority development project for the Company.

It is located within the Murchison Region of Western Australia, approximately 350km north northeast of Perth. The Company has 100% of the tungsten and molybdenum rights on a contiguous group of tenements that have been the subject of significant previous exploration for tungsten and molybdenum. The Company also has the rights to all by-products from the mining of tungsten and molybdenum.

Two near surface Mineral Resources have been delineated at the Mulgine Trench and Mulgine Hill deposits. Currently, there is a combined Mineral Resource estimate of 259Mt at 0.11% WO3, 270ppm Mo, 0.12g/t Au, 5g/t Ag and 0.03% Cu (at 0.05% WO3 cut-off). This is comprised from Indicated Resources of 183Mt @ 0.11% WO3, 290ppm Mo, 0.13g/t Au, 5g/t Ag, 0.04% Cu and Inferred Resources of 76Mt @ 0.11% WO3, 240ppm Mo, 0.09g/t Au, 5g/t Ag and 0.03% Cu.

Figure 7: Location of Mulgine Hill Mineral and Mulgine Trench Mineral Resources.

Mulgine Trench

Tungsten-molybdenum mineralisation at Mt Mulgine is associated with the Mulgine Granite - a high-level leucogranite forming a 2km stock that intrudes the Mulgine anticline (Figure 7). The granite intrudes a greenstone sequence composed of micaceous schists, amphibolite and talc-chlorite schist which were formerly metasediments, mafic and ultramafic rocks respectively.

Tungsten-molybdenum mineralisation at Mulgine Trench is associated with altered and quartz veined mafic and ultramafic units that form a 160 metre to 260 metre thick zone over 1.4 kilometres of strike and dips shallowly towards the northwest. Drilling has intersected stronger molybdenum-gold-silver-copper mineralisation associated with a 50m to 120m wide Lower Tungsten-Molybdenum Domain within the larger tungsten envelope.

Mulgine Trench Mineral Resource

From the period July 2019 to February 2020, the Company completed resource definition drilling at Mulgine Trench consisting of 280 holes for 47,983 metres. An update to the Mulgine Trench Mineral Resource Estimate was completed by Optiro in May 2020 (following an interim update in December 2019).

This resulted in 70% of the mineralisation classified as Indicated and a 244% increase in tonnes, a 131% increase in contained tungsten and a 283% increase in contained molybdenum compared to the November 2014 Mineral Resource Estimate. In addition, a maiden resource was defined for associated minerals with approximately 1 million ounces of gold, 44 million ounces of silver and 92,000 tonnes of copper associated with the tungsten mineralisation.

Annual Report | 2022

Mt Mulgine Project, Murchison WA

Refer to ASX announcements dated 19 December 2019 and 4 May 2020 for updated Mineral Resource Estimates for the Mulgine Trench deposit and to the accompanying Annual Mineral Resource and Ore Reserve Statement.

Mulgine Hill

At Mulgine Hill, mineralisation is associated with the sub-horizontal upper contact of a mafic schist unit and overlying quartz-muscovite greisen. Tungsten occurs as scheelite in coarse disseminations within the greisen or within numerous quartz and greisen veins in both the mafic schists and the quartz-muscovite greisen. The Mineral Resource estimate for Mulgine Hill as of 21 March 2019 is 12.3 Mt at 0.16% WO3 and 125 ppm Mo (Refer to ASX announcement dated 12 April 2019).

Detailed Geological Modelling

The Company has continued to advance its understanding of mineralisation at Mt Mulgine. Geological logging, multi-element geochemistry, Hyperspectral logging by Hylogger-3, Halo spectrometry and quantitative XRD analysis have been used to define geological domains within the Mulgine Trench deposit.

This work has allowed for a detailed understanding of weathering profiles and determination of protolith rock types. The Mulgine Trench Deposit is hosted by a dominantly mafic-ultramafic complex that was subsequently intruded by a felsic / greisen unit. Several individual basalt and ultramafic sequences can be subdivided into individual mappable units throughout the Trench Deposit. In addition, interpretation to the geological connectivity between the Mulgine Trench and Mulgine Hill Deposits has been completed (Figure 8).

Other Projects

Hatches Creek Polymetallic Project, Davenport Province, NT

The Hatches Creek Project consists of two granted exploration licences covering 31.4 km2 (EL22912 and EL23463), which cover the entire historic Hatches Creek tungsten mining centre. Hatches Creek is a large historical high-grade tungsten mining centre where mining was undertaken between 1915 and 1957. Previous recorded production is approximately 2,840 tonnes of 65% WO3. Bismuth concentrate and copper ore have also been produced.

On 3 June 2019 the Company announced that it had executed an agreement with GWR Group Limited (ASX: GWR) (“GWR”) to farm-in to the Hatches Creek Project. The Farm-in Agreement provides for Tungsten Mining to direct and manage exploration and development activities at Hatches Creek where past drilling by GWR confirmed multiple high-grade polymetallic tungsten prospects and demonstrated potential for a large high-grade polymetallic tungsten deposit (refer GWR announcements dated 17 July 2018 and 22 May 2019).

The Project is located 375 km north east of Alice Springs in the Northern Territory of Australia (Figure 9).

==> picture [419 x 385] intentionally omitted <==

Figure 9: Hatches Creek Project location map.

Pursuant to the terms of the Farm-in Agreement, summarised in the announcement dated 3 June 2019, the Company acquired an initial 20% interest in the Project by reimbursing GWR for past exploration expenditure. Tungsten Mining can increase its interest to 51% by the expenditure of $3,000,000 on exploration, development and mining activities within 5 years of the commencement date. Should a decision to mine be made by Tungsten Mining whilst in the sole fund stage, the Company has an option to acquire GWR’s remaining interest for $6.96m

(indexed for CPI). During the year, it was agreed to extend the first earn-in period by 3 months.

Further details on the results of recent and past drilling programs, Mineral Resource Estimate for surface dumps and the Exploration Target Estimate for the Hatches Creek Project are set out in GWR’s ASX announcements dated 17 July 2018 and 22 May 2019. During the year, Tungsten Mining’s activities were restricted to desktop studies, with no significant activities undertaken.

Other Projects

Big Hill Project, Eastern Pilbara, WA

The Big Hill Project area is located approximately 30km northeast of the Nullagine township in the Eastern Pilbara of Western Australia. The project contains the Big Hill deposit where 22,871 metres of diamond and RC drilling have defined a JORC-2012 Mineral Resource estimate totalling 38.5Mt at 0.09% WO3 (0.05% WO3 cut-off) comprising an Indicated Resource of 15.8Mt at 0.11% WO3 and an Inferred Resource of 22.7Mt at 0.09% WO33.

Metallurgical test work conducted on samples from Big Hill at bench and pilot scale has produced high quality tungsten concentrates at acceptable scheelite recoveries. This work has identified a simple and potentially low cost processing route.

In April 2020, DMIRS approved a 3 year extension to Retention License R46/3. There no significant activities undertaken at the Big Hill Project in the reporting period.

Kilba Project, Ashburton Region, WA

The Kilba Project is located within the Ashburton Region of Western Australia, 250km southwest of Karratha. To date, Tungsten Mining has focused on the historic Zones 8, 11 and 12 that Union Carbide discovered in the 1970s. Drilling has targeted high-grade tungsten mineralisation associated with skarns and calc-silicate units situated close to the Kilba granite.

This work has defined a JORC-2012 compliant Mineral Resource totalling 7.2Mt at 0.19% WO3 (0.05% WO3 cutoff) comprising an Indicated Resource of 5.7Mt at 0.20% WO3 and an Inferred Resource of 1.5Mt at 0.15% WO3.

Metallurgical test work shows that the tungsten is present as coarse-grained scheelite that will respond well to conventional gravity separation. Test work completed in 2015 has demonstrated the ability to produce an extremely high grade tungsten concentrate.

In May 2017, DMIRS approved a 5 year exemption from expenditure for M08/314 pursuant to the Mining Act. There were no significant activities undertaken for the Kilba Project during the reporting period.

Governance and Internal Controls - Reserve and Resource Calculations

The Company used third party resource consultants to estimate its ore reserves and resources at each of its projects according to the 2012 JORC Code, as have previously been reported.

No further mineral resource estimations or upgrading work has been undertaken on the Company’s Mulgine Trench, Mulgine Hill, Kilba, Big Hill or Watershed deposits since the estimates reported on 4 May 2020, 12 April 2019, 30 January 2015, 22 June 2016 and 4 July 2018 respectively, and the Company is not aware of any additional information that would have a material effect on these estimates as reported.

Due to the nature, stage and size of the Company’s existing operations, the Board believes there would be no efficiencies gained by establishing a separate mineral reserves and resources committee responsible for reviewing and monitoring the Company’s processes for calculating mineral reserves and resources and for ensuring that the appropriate internal controls are applied to such calculations.

Competent Person’s Statement

The information in this Annual Mineral Resources and Ore Reserves Statement is based on, and fairly represents, information and supporting documentation compiled by Peter Bleakley, who is a Member of the Australasian Institute of Mining and Metallurgy. Mr Bleakley is a full-time employee of the company and has sufficient experience that is relevant to the style of mineralisation and type of deposit under consideration and to the activity being undertaken to qualify as a Competent Person as defined in the 2012 Edition of the ‘Australasian Code for Reporting of Exploration Results, Mineral Resources and Ore Reserves’. Mr Bleakley consents to the inclusion in the report of the matters based on his information in the form and context in which it appears.

Directors’ Report

OPERATING AND FINANCIAL REVIEW

Review of operations

The Mt Mulgine Project (the Project) remained the highest priority development project for the Company, responsible for the majority of activity during the 2022 financial year.

Since reporting the successful maiden Ore Reserve and positive Pre-Feasibility Study for the Mt Mulgine Project, announced to the market on 29 January 2021, the Company has continued to advance the feasibility studies for the Project and seek suitable partners capable of supporting the Project’s development.

During the 2022 financial year, the Company completed a PQ diamond drilling program undertaken to collect core for test work with the aim of de-risking the metallurgical flowsheet. Approximately 37 tonnes of core representative of the material throughout the deposit within the various stages of the proposed 23-year pit design was recovered.

In January 2022 the Company announced entering into a non-binding Memorandum of Understanding (MOU) with MCC International Incorporation Ltd (MCCI), a major global engineering company, to establish a programme of collaboration between MCCI and the Company in respect to the completion of feasibility studies at Mt Mulgine. As contemplated under the MOU framework with MCCI, discussions occurred on a proposal from MCCI for a metallurgical test work program using a composite sample. Whilst the parties remain in discussion, no agreement has yet been reached concerning the testwork proposal or other matters contemplated by the MoU.

As a pre-curser to this proposed program, a bulk sample of reserve material used for the Pre-Feasibility Study is undergoing preliminary “whole of ore” flotation test work in order to evaluate its viability to produce a saleable scheelite concentrate.

Environmental related activities for the Mt Mulgine Project continued during the 2022 financial year.

Operating results for the year

The loss after income tax benefit for the year ended 30 June 2022 was $5,085,149 (2021: $4,722,655), which included an expense of $2,177,575 (2021: $1,826,677) for exploration expenditure and $2,183,520 (2021: $2,809,740) of remuneration expenses.

$580,000 was received in relation to the sale of surplus plant and equipment following the execution of a sale agreement with the equipment vendor. In view of this transaction, the carrying values of plant and equipment were reviewed for impairment and written down to its estimated recoverable amount of $1,638,225. The write down resulted in an impairment expense of $227,959.

R&D tax offset of $462,448 (2021: 452,231) was received during the year ended 30 June 2022 from activities conducted on the Mt Mulgine Project.

Environmental Issues

The Group is aware of its environmental obligations with regards to its exploration activities and ensures that it complies with all applicable regulations when carrying out exploration work.

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 Company recognises the benefit of directors, officers and other employees of the Group holding securities in the Company and 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.

Tungsten Mining

Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements for the year ended 30 June 2022

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 2022 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

The Group has adopted all of the new or amended Accounting Standards and Interpretations issued by the Australian Accounting Standards Board (‘AASB’) that are mandatory for the current reporting period. The adoption of the new or amended Accounting Standards and Interpretations did not result in any significant changes to the Group’s accounting policies in the current or future period.

Those new or amended Accounting Standards and Interpretations which may be relevant to the Group are set out below:

AASB 2021-3: Amendments to Australian Accounting Standards – COVID-19 Related Rent Concessions beyond 30 June 2021

The Group has applied AASB 2021-3: Amendments to Australian Accounting Standards – COVID-19-Related Rent Concessions beyond 30 June 2021 this reporting period.

The amendment amends AASB 16 to extend by one year, the application of the practical expedient added to AASB 16 by AASB 2020-4: Amendments to Australian Accounting Standards – COVID-19-Related Rent Concessions. The practical expedient permits lessees not to assess whether rent concessions that occur as a direct consequence of the COVID-19 pandemic and meet specified conditions are lease modifications and instead, to account for those rent concessions as if they were not lease modifications. The amendment has not had a material impact on the Group’s financial statements.

AASB 2020-8: Amendments to Australian Accounting Standards – Interest Rate Benchmark Reform – Phase 2

The Group has applied AASB 2020-8 which amends various standards to help listed entities to provide financial statement users with useful information about the effects of the interest rate benchmark reform on those entities’ financial statements. As a result of these amendments, an entity:

will not have to derecognise or adjust the carrying amount of financial statements for changes required by the reform, but will instead update the effective interest rate to reflect the change to the alternative benchmark rate;
will not have to discontinue its hedge accounting solely because it makes changes required by the reform, if the hedge meets other hedge accounting criteria; and
will be required to disclose information about new risks arising from the reform and how it manages the transition to alternative benchmark rates. The amendment has not had a material impact on the Group’s financials.

Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements for the year ended 30 June 2022

Note 2: Statement of significant accounting policies (continued)

(b) New accounting standards and interpretations (continued)

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 2020-1: Amendments to Australian Accounting Standards – Classification of Liabilities as Current or Noncurrent

The amendment amends AASB 101 to clarify whether a liability should be presented as current or non-current. The Group plans on adopting the amendment for the reporting period ending 30 June 2024. The amendment is not expected to have a material impact on the financial statements once adopted.

AASB 2020-3: Amendments to Australian Accounting Standards – Annual Improvements 2018-2020 and Other Amendments

AASB 2020-3: Amendments to Australian Accounting Standards – Annual Improvements 2018-2020 and Other Amendments is an omnibus standard that amends AASB 1, AASB 3, AASB 9, AASB 116, AASB 137 and AASB 141. The Group plans on adopting the amendment for the reporting period ending 30 June 2023. The impact of the initial application is not yet known.

AASB 2021-2: Amendments to Australian Accounting Standards – Disclosure of Accounting Policies and Definition of Accounting Estimates

The amendment amends AASB 7, AASB 101, AASB 108, AASB 134 and AASB Practice Statement 2. These amendments arise from the issuance by the IASB of the following International Financial Reporting Standards: Disclosure of Accounting Policies (Amendments to IAS 1 and IFRS Practice Statement 2) and Definition of Accounting Estimates (Amendments to IAS 8).

The Group plans on adopting the amendment for the reporting period ending 30 June 2024. The impact of the initial application is not yet known.

AASB 2021-5: Amendments to Australian Accounting Standards – Deferred Tax related to Assets and Liabilities arising from a Single Transaction

The amendment amends the initial recognition exemption in AASB 112: Income Taxes such that it is not applicable to leases and decommissioning obligations – transactions for which companies recognise both an asset and liability and that give rise to equal taxable and deductible temporary differences. The Group plans on adopting the amendment for the reporting period ending 30 June 2024. The impact of the initial application is not yet known.

(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.

Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements for the year ended 30 June 2022

Note 2: Statement of significant accounting policies (continued)

(c) Critical accounting estimates and judgements (continued)

Coronavirus (COVID-19) pandemic

The Group has exercised judgement in considering the impacts of COVID-19 since the World Health Organisation declared the outbreak a pandemic in March 2020. The response from the government in dealing with the outbreak has impacted access to tenements and the economy. As of reporting date, the scale and duration of the developments remain uncertain. It is difficult to estimate the ongoing effect from the pandemic or government responses on the accounting estimates or forecasts. The Group has taken into consideration the limited/prohibited access to tenements and as a result may request reduction in minimum expenditures where possible. The methodology for estimates have not changed and have been prepared based upon conditions existing at the date of report.

(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.

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.

Annual Report | 2022

Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements for the year ended 30 June 2022

Note 2: Statement of significant accounting policies (continued)

(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.

(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.

Note 2: Statement of significant accounting policies (continued)

(h) Provisions and employee benefits (continued)

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.

(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

Under AASB15 revenue is recognised when a performance obligation is satisfied, being when control of the goods or services underlying the performance obligations is transferred to the customer.

R&D tax rebates are recognised when the receipts are deemed probable and the amounts can be measured reliably. Government grants are recognised when received.

(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.

Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements for the year ended 30 June 2022

Note 2: Statement of significant accounting policies (continued)

(o) Financial Instruments

Recognition, initial measurement and derecognition

Financial assets and financial liabilities are recognised when the Group becomes a party to the contractual provisions of the financial instrument. Financial instruments (except for trade receivables) are measured initially at fair value adjusted by transactions costs, except for those carried “at fair value through profit or loss”, in which case transaction costs are expensed to profit or loss. Where available, quoted prices in an active market are used to determine the fair value. In other circumstances, valuation techniques are adopted. Subsequent measurement of financial assets and financial liabilities are described below.

Trade receivables are initially measured at the transaction price if the receivables do not contain a significant financing component in accordance with AASB 15.

Financial assets are derecognised when the contractual rights to the cash flows from the financial asset expire, or when the financial asset and all substantial risks and rewards are transferred. A financial liability is derecognised when it is extinguished, discharged, cancelled or expires.

Classification and subsequent measurement

Financial assets

Except for those trade receivables that do not contain a significant financing component and are measured at the transaction price in accordance with AASB 15, all financial assets are initially measured at fair value adjusted for transaction costs (where applicable).

For the purpose of subsequent measurement, financial assets other than those designated and effective as hedging instruments, are classified into the following categories upon initial recognition:

amortised cost;
fair value through other comprehensive income (FVOCI); and
fair value through profit or loss (FVPL).

Classifications are determined by both:

The contractual cash flow characteristics of the financial assets; and
The entities business model for managing the financial asset.

Financial assets at amortised cost

Financial assets are measured at amortised cost if the assets meet the following conditions (and are not designated as FVPL):

they are held within a business model whose objective is to hold the financial assets and collect its contractual cash flows; and
the contractual terms of the financial assets give rise to cash flows that are solely payments of principal and interest on the principal amount outstanding.

After initial recognition, these are measured at amortised cost using the effective interest method. Discounting is omitted where the effect of discounting is immaterial. The Group’s cash and cash equivalents, trade and most other receivables fall into this category of financial instruments.

Financial assets at fair value through other comprehensive income (Equity instruments)

The Group measures debt instruments at fair value through OCI if both of the following conditions are met:

The contractual terms of the financial asset give rise on specified dates to cash flows that are solely payments of
principal and interest on the principal amount outstanding; and
The financial asset is held within a business model with the objective of both holding to collect contractual cash flows and selling the financial asset.

Tungsten Mining

Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements for the year ended 30 June 2022

Note 2: Statement of significant accounting policies (continued)

(o) Financial Instruments (continued)

For debt instruments at fair value through OCI, interest income, foreign exchange revaluation and impairment losses or reversals are recognised in the statement of profit or loss and computed in the same manner as for financial assets measured at amortised cost. The remaining fair value changes are recognised in OCI.

Upon initial recognition, the Group can elect to classify irrevocably its equity investments as equity instruments designated at fair value through OCI when they meet the definition of equity under AASB 132 Financial Instruments: Presentation and are not held for trading.

Financial assets at fair value through profit or loss (FVPL)

Financial assets at fair value through profit or loss include financial assets held for trading, financial assets designated upon initial recognition at fair value through profit or loss, or financial assets mandatorily required to be measured at fair value. Financial assets are classified as held for trading if they are acquired for the purpose of selling or repurchasing in the near term.

Financial liabilities

Financial liabilities are classified, at initial recognition, as financial liabilities at fair value through profit or loss, loans and borrowings, payables, or as derivatives designated as hedging instruments in an effective hedge, as appropriate. Financial liabilities are initially measured at fair value, and, where applicable, adjusted for transaction costs unless the Group designated a financial liability at fair value through profit or loss.

Subsequently, financial liabilities are measured at amortised cost using the effective interest method except for derivatives and financial liabilities designated at FVPL, which are carried subsequently at fair value with gains or losses recognised in profit or loss.

All interest-related charges and, if applicable, gains and losses arising on changes in fair value are recognised in profit or loss.

Impairment

The Group assesses on a forward looking basis the expected credit losses associated with its debt instruments carried at amortised cost and FVOCI. The impairment methodology applied depends on whether there has been a significant increase in credit risk. For trade receivables, the Group applies the simplified approach permitted by AASB, which requires expected lifetime losses to be recognised from initial recognition of the receivables.

Annual Report | 2022

Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements for the year ended 30 June 2022

Note 2: Statement of significant accounting policies (continued)

(p) Leases

The Group has various property leases. Lease contracts are typically made for fixed periods of 1 to 5 years but may have extension options. Lease terms are negotiated on an individual basis and contain a wide range of different terms and conditions.

Leases have been recognised as a right-of-use asset and a corresponding liability at the date at which the leased asset is available for use by the Group. Each lease payment was allocated between the liability and finance cost. The finance cost is charged to profit or loss over the lease period so as to produce a constant periodic rate of interest on the remaining balance of the liability for each period. The right-of-use asset is depreciated over the shorter of the asset's useful life and the lease term on a straight-line basis.

Assets and liabilities arising from a lease are initially measured on a present value basis. Lease liabilities include the net present value of the following lease payments:

fixed payments (including in-substance fixed payments), less any lease incentives receivable
variable lease payment that are based on an index or a rate
amounts expected to be payable by the lessee under residual value guarantees
the exercise price of a purchase option if the lessee is reasonably certain to exercise that option, and
payments of penalties for terminating the lease, if the lease term reflects the lessee exercising that option.

The lease payments are discounted using the interest rate implicit in the lease. If that rate cannot be determined, the Company’s incremental borrowing rate is used, being the rate that the Company would have to pay to borrow the funds necessary to obtain an asset of similar value in a similar economic environment with similar terms and conditions. Right-of-use assets are measured at cost comprising the following:

the amount of the initial measurement of lease liability;
any lease payments made at or before the commencement date less any lease incentives received;
any initial direct costs, and
restoration costs.

Payments associated with short-term leases and leases of low-value assets are recognised on a straight-line basis as an expense in profit or loss. Short-term leases are leases with a lease term of 12 months or less.

(q) 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.

Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements for the year ended 30 June 2022

Note 3(a): 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.

Note 3(b): Principles of Consolidation

The consolidated financial statements incorporate all of the assets, liabilities and results of the parent Tungsten Mining NL and all of the subsidiaries. Subsidiaries are entities the parent controls. The parent controls an entity when it is exposed to, or has rights to, variable returns from its involvement with the entity and has the ability to affect those returns through its power over the entity. A list of the subsidiaries is provided in Note 27.

The assets, liabilities and results of all subsidiaries are fully consolidated into the financial statements of the Group from the date on which control is obtained by the Group. The consolidation of a subsidiary is discontinued from the date that control ceases. Intercompany transactions, balances and unrealised gains or losses on transactions between Group entities are fully eliminated on consolidation. Accounting policies of subsidiaries have been changed and adjustments made where necessary to ensure uniformity of the accounting policies adopted by the Group.

Equity interests in a subsidiary not attributable, directly or indirectly, to the Group are presented as “non controlling interests". The Group initially recognises non-controlling interests that are present ownership interests in subsidiaries and are entitled to a proportionate share of the subsidiary's net assets on liquidation at either fair value or at the noncontrolling interests' proportionate share of the subsidiary's net assets. Subsequent to initial recognition, noncontrolling interests are attributed their share of profit or loss and each component of other comprehensive income. Non-controlling interests are shown separately within the equity section of the statement of financial position and statement of comprehensive income.

The above right-of-use assets relate to certain building leases that were entered into in prior years by the Group (refer Note 15). The right-of-use asset is measured at the amount equal to the lease liability at the inception of the lease and then this cost is amortised over the life of the lease.

Right-of-use assets are measured at cost comprising the following:

the amount of the initial measurement of lease liability
any lease payments made at or before the commencement date less any lease incentives receive
any initial direct costs
and restoration costs

These right-of-use assets are being amortised over the lease term on a straight-line basis of five years.

Hatches Creek Farm-in Agreement

In the prior financial years, on 3 June 2019, the Company announced the execution of a Farm-in agreement with related party GWR Group Limited (“GWR”) to acquire a 20% interest in the Hatches Creek Tungsten Project (“Hatches Creek”). The Farm-in agreement stages are as follows:

The Company has initially acquired a 20% interest in Hatches Creek through the reimbursement of $1,720,942 in past exploration expenditure incurred by GWR;
The Company can increase its interest to 51% by the expenditure of $3,000,000 on exploration, development and mining activities within 5 years of the acquisition date; and

Once a decision to mine has been made, the Company can acquire GWR’s remaining interest for $6,959,058 (indexed for CPI). During the current year it was agreed with GWR to extend the first earn in period by 3 months.

Mulgine Drilling Incident

As a result of a drilling incident that occurred at the Mt Mulgine Project in July 2019:

A claim for unspecified damages was filed in the District Court of Western Australia in June 2021 in relation to alleged loss and damage suffered. At the date of this report , the Group is defending this claim, therefore it is not possible to estimate a liability, and
DMIRS has commenced a prosecution against Tungsten Mining NL in the Magistrates Court of Western Australia. At the date of this report, Tungsten Mining NL has not yet entered a plea, therefore it is not possible to estimate a liability.

The Group is not aware of any other significant contingencies that existed at balance date.

Note 24: 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.

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.

-10% sensitivity would move term deposit interest rates at 30 June 2022 from around 0.92% to 0.83% (2021: 0.24% to 0.22%) representing a 9.2 (2021: 2.4) basis points downwards shift, which is 6.4 (2021: 1.7) basis points net of tax.
-10% sensitivity would have a negligible impact on cash interest rates at 30 June 2022 from around 0.24% to 0.22% (2021: 0.06% to 0.05% ) representing a 2.4 (2021: 0.6) basis points downwards shift, which is 1.7 (2021: 0.4) basis points net of tax.
-10% sensitivity would move other financial asset interest rates at 30 June 2022 from around 1.26% to 1.13% (2021: 0.40% to 0.36%) representing a 12.6 (2021: 4) basis points downwards shift, which is 8.8 (2021: 2.8) 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.

(b) Liquidity Risk

The Group manages liquidity risk by maintaining sufficient cash reserves required to meet the current exploration and administration commitments, through the continuous monitoring of actual cash flows. All payables are due within 30 days.

(c) 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.

(d) Credit Risk

Credit risk arises in the event that counterparty will not meet its obligations under a financial instrument leading to financial losses. The Group is exposed to credit risk from its operating activities, financing activities including deposits with banks. The credit risk control procedures adopted by the Group 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 Group which have been recognised on the Consolidated Statement of Financial position is generally limited to the carrying amount. Cash and term deposits are maintained with major Australian banks.

(e) Foreign Currency Risk

The Group is not exposed to any significant foreign currency risk.

INDEPENDENT AUDITOR’S REPORT

TO THE MEMBERS OF TUNGSTEN MINING NL

Report on the Audit of the Financial Report

We have audited the financial report of Tungsten Mining NL (“the Company”), and its subsidiaries (“the Group”), which comprises the consolidated statement of financial position as at 30 June 2022, the consolidated statement of comprehensive income, the consolidated statement of changes in equity and the consolidated statement of cash flows for the year then ended, and notes to the financial statements, including a summary of significant accounting policies, and the directors' declaration.

In our opinion, the accompanying financial report of the Group is in accordance with the Corporations Act 2001 , including:

(i) giving a true and fair view of the Group’s financial position as at 30 June 2022 and of its financial performance for the year then ended; and
(ii) complying with Australian Accounting Standards and the Corporations Regulations 2001

Basis for Opinion

We conducted our audit in accordance with Australian Auditing Standards. Our responsibilities under those standards are further described in the Auditor's Responsibilities for the Audit of the Financial Report section of our report. We are independent of the Company in accordance with the auditor independence requirements of the Corporations Act 2001 and the ethical requirements of the Accounting Professional and Ethical Standards Board's APES 110: Code of Ethics for Professional Accountants (the Code) that are relevant to our audit of the financial report in Australia. We have also fulfilled our other ethical responsibilities in accordance with the Code.

We believe that the audit evidence we have obtained is sufficient and appropriate to provide a basis for our opinion.

Key Audit Matters

In addition to the matter described in the Material Uncertainty Related to Going Concern section, we have determined the matter described below to be Key Audit Matter to be communicated in our report.

Key audit matters are those matters that, in our professional judgement, were of most significance in our audit of the financial report of the current period. These matters were addressed in the context of our audit of the financial report as a whole, and in forming our opinion thereon, and we do not provide a separate opinion on these matters.

Key Audit Matters How the matter was addressed in the audit Carrying Value of Exploration and Evaluation Assets As at 30 June 2022, Exploration and Evaluation Inter alia, our audit procedures included the Assets totalled $19,707,196 (refer to Note 13 of following: the financial report).

The carrying value of exploration and evaluation assets is a key audit matter due to:

The significance of the expenditure capitalised representing 53% of total assets;
The necessity to assess management’s application of the requirements of the accounting standard Exploration for and Evaluation of Mineral Resources (“AASB 6”), in light of any indicators of impairment that may be present; and
The assessment of significant judgements made by management in relation to the capitalised exploration and evaluation expenditure.
i. Assessed the Group’s right to tenure over exploration assets by corroborating the ownership of the relevant licences for mineral resources to government registries and relevant third-party documentation;

Minutes of the board and management;
▪ Announcements made by the Group to the Australian Securities Exchange;
▪ Cash flow forecast; and

Considering the requirements of accounting standard Impairment of Assets (“AASB 136”) and reviewed the financial statements to ensure appropriate disclosures are made.

Other Information

The directors are responsible for the other information. The other information comprises the information included in the Group’s annual report for the year ended 30 June 2022, but does not include the financial report and our auditor’s report thereon.

Our opinion on the financial report does not cover the other information and accordingly we do not express any form of assurance opinion thereon.

In connection with our audit of the financial report, our responsibility is to read the other information and, in doing so, consider whether the other information is materially inconsistent with the financial report or our knowledge obtained in the audit or otherwise appears to be materially misstated. If, based on the work we have performed, we conclude that there is a material misstatement of this other information, we are required to report that fact. We have nothing to report in this regard.

Responsibilities of the Directors for the Financial Report

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

In preparing the financial report, the directors are responsible for assessing the ability of the Group to continue as a going concern, disclosing, as applicable, matters related to going concern and using the going concern basis of accounting unless the directors either intend to liquidate the Group or to cease operations, or has no realistic alternative but to do so.

Auditor's Responsibilities for the Audit of the Financial Report

Our objectives are to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial report as a whole is free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error, and to issue an auditor's report that includes our opinion. Reasonable assurance is a high level of assurance, but is not a guarantee that an audit conducted in accordance with the Australian Auditing Standards will always detect a material misstatement when it exists. Misstatements can arise from fraud or error and are considered material if, individually or in the aggregate, they could reasonably be expected to influence the economic decisions of users taken on the basis of this financial report.

As part of an audit in accordance with Australian Auditing Standards, we exercise professional judgement and maintain professional scepticism throughout the audit. An audit involves performing procedures to obtain audit evidence about the amounts and disclosures in the financial report.

The procedures selected depend on the auditor's judgement, including the assessment of the risks of material misstatement of the financial report, whether due to fraud or error. 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.

The risk of not detecting a material misstatement resulting from fraud is higher than for one resulting from error, as fraud may involve collusion, forgery, intentional omissions, misrepresentations, or the override of 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.

We conclude on the appropriateness of the Directors' use of the going concern basis of accounting and, based on the audit evidence obtained, whether a material uncertainty exists related to events or conditions that may cast significant doubt on the Group's ability to continue as a going concern. If we conclude that a material

uncertainty exists, we are required to draw attention in our auditor's report to the related disclosures in the financial report or, if such disclosures are inadequate, to modify our opinion. Our conclusions are based on the audit evidence obtained up to the date of our auditor’s report. However, future events or conditions may cause the Group to cease to continue as a going concern.

We evaluate the overall presentation, structure and content of the financial report, including the disclosures, and whether the financial report represents the underlying transactions and events in a manner that achieves fair presentation.

We obtain sufficient appropriate audit evidence regarding the financial information of the entities or business activities within the Group to express an opinion on the financial report. We are responsible for the direction, supervision and performance of the group audit. We remain solely responsible for our audit opinion.

We communicate with the Directors regarding, among other matters, the planned scope and timing of the audit and significant audit findings, including any significant deficiencies in Internal control that we identify during our audit.

The Auditing Standards require that we comply with relevant ethical requirements relating to audit engagements. We also provide the Directors with a statement that we have complied with relevant ethical requirements regarding independence, and to communicate with them all relationships and other matters that may reasonably be thought to bear on our independence, and where applicable, related safeguards.

From the matters communicated with the Directors, we determine those matters that were of most significance in the audit of the financial report of the current period and are therefore key audit matters. We describe these matters in our auditor's report unless law or regulation precludes public disclosure about the matter or when, in extremely rare circumstances, we determine that a matter should not be communicated in our report because the adverse consequences of doing so would reasonably be expected to outweigh the public interest benefits of such communication.
