Chairman’s Letter

ACN 152 084 403

Dear Investor,

On behalf of the Board of Directors, I invite you to become a Shareholder in Tungsten Mining NL (‘Tungsten Mining’ or ‘the Company’) through this Prospectus, which seeks to raise $5,000,000 by the issue of Shares at an issue price of $0.20 each. The Company may accept oversubscriptions of up to $3,000,000, to raise a maximum of $8,000,000.

The metal tungsten is indispensable to modern industry and its strong demand is continuing to grow. With limited new supply on the immediate horizon and few high-grade deposits in the global development pipeline, there are exciting opportunities for Tungsten Mining.

We believe we hold the key to unlocking shareholder value in this prime sector. Our proposition is that a resource of around 7,000 tonnes of tungstic oxide (WO3) is a sufficient basis on which to build a profitable tungsten business and in our view Kilba Well, in our Gasgoyne Project, has all the right characteristics to allow rapid progress through to production. Our confidence regarding Kilba Well is based on the historical exploration and test work carried out in the 1980s by Union Carbide Corporation on a portion of the Kilba Well deposit that is shallow, has simple metallurgy and is situated on a granted mining lease. This has given us our immediate exploration target of 1.3-1.5mt at 0.7-0.9% WO3 (10,000-12,000 tonnes WO3).

We plan to aggressively progress this project through JORC resource assessment, feasibility studies and into production, focussing on a quick route to positive cash flow.

Kilba Well will be the principal focus of the Company in the short term, but another key platform of our value proposition is our project portfolio concept. We intend to build on the initial mine development at Kilba Well and replicate the high-grade mine model with other projects in our extensive project pipeline. The projects that we have assembled provide a range of exploration assets at different stages of maturity, and are considered in more detail in the accompanying Independent Geologist’s Report in Section 6.

The funds raised under this Prospectus will allow the Company to fully evaluate the Kilba Well project, including completing a definitive feasibility study, while allowing sufficient working capital to evaluate the other projects in our portfolio. In addition, the Company will assess new project opportunities in the tungsten sector.

The Company has a Board of Directors which is wellqualified and experienced and who we believe to possess the right mix of skills to ensure successful execution of our business and operational plans. This Prospectus includes details of the Offer, the Company, the Projects and proposed operations, together with a statement of the risks associated with investing in the Company. I recommend that you read the document carefully and seek independent professional advice before investing in the Company.

On behalf of the Board of Directors I recommend this Offer to you and look forward to welcoming you as a fellow Shareholder.

Yours sincerely

Tungsten Mining NL Prospectus

Section 1 Investment Overview

1.3. Investment Highlights

  • Operationally focussed on developing highgrade tungsten deposits.

  • Operating in an increasingly buoyant tungsten market, in which commodity pricing is strong as consumers react to the perceived tightening of supply from China.

  • Prices have increased more than two-fold in 2 years.

  • Tungsten has been nominated as a strategic metal and critical raw metal in USA, EU and Japan.

  • Tungsten Mining holds a strong portfolio of Projects within Australia, all with tungsten mineralisation on which we aim to define JORC compliant resources in the near term.

  • We are committed to meeting our rapid production timeline at the high-grade Kilba Well project, being a previously drilled prospect on a granted mining lease.

  • Confidence in our exploration target of 1.3-1.5mt +0.7-0.9% WO3 (10,000-12,000 tonnes WO3) at Kilba Well, which we aim to convert into a JORC compliant resource in the short term with further exploration testing.

  • Belief we can define high-grade resources on our projects in an industry currently exhibiting few high-grade deposits in the global development pipeline.

  • With a maximum of 93.5 million Shares on issue post admission to the ASX Official List, our objective is to provide value to our Shareholders and in our Shares, via near term returns from advanced projects resulting in less requirement for additional dilutive capital raisings.

Some of the risks specific to the Company include:

  • There is no assurance that exploration of the mineral rights in which Tungsten Mining is acquiring an interest, or of other exploration properties that may be acquired by the Company in the future, will result in the discovery of an economic resource.

  • The exploration costs of the Company, by their nature, are subject to significant uncertainties and accordingly actual costs may differ from the estimates and assumptions.

  • Extraction of tungsten at our Projects economically is considered a risk, since an economic extraction method may not be developed. To create a viable project, the Company must identify a processing methodology for extracting the valuable components from the ore. Failure to develop a suitable processing route for economically extracting tungsten from the ore would devalue the deposits.

  • Environmental and regulatory risks, including native title and/or the presence of flora reserves or areas of Declared Rare Fauna.

  • Operational risks, such as a failure to locate or identify mineral resources in respect of the project in which the Company is acquiring or has acquired an interest.

  • Mining and exploration title risks — title to the tenements in which the Company is acquiring an interest or has acquired an interest are subject to the tenement holder complying with the terms and conditions of the tenement. A summary of the terms and conditions attaching to the tenements are set out in the Solicitor’s Report on Mining Tenements in Section 8.

1.4. Risks

The business, assets and operations of the Company are subject to certain risk factors that have the potential to influence the operating and financial performance of the Company in the future. These risks can impact on the value of an investment in the securities of the Company.

Set out below are specific risks that the Company is exposed to. Further general risks associated with an investment in the Company are outlined in Section 4.

The Board aims to manage these risks by carefully planning its activities and implementing risk control measures. Some of the risks are, however, highly unpredictable and the extent to which they can be managed is limited.

  • The price for tungsten concentrate will depend on available markets at acceptable prices, including transport and distribution costs. Any substantial decline in the price of tungsten or increase in transport or distribution costs could have a material adverse effect on the Company.

  • Additional capital requirements to continue exploration or construct mining operations may not be available.

  • Insurance coverage of all risks associated with tungsten mining and production may not always be available and where it is, the cost may be high.

Tungsten Mining NL Prospectus

Section 1 Investment Overview

  • The industry in which Tungsten Mining is involved is subject to competition.

  • Having been incorporated on 13 July 2011, Tungsten Mining has no significant operating history, although it should be noted that the Company’s Directors have significant operating experience. No assurances can be given that Tungsten Mining will achieve commercial viability through the successful exploration and/or mining of its tenement interests.

  • No assurance can be given that no detrimental impact on Tungsten Mining will occur if one or more of the key management personnel leaves the Company’s employ.

The above list is not to be taken as an exhaustive list of the risks faced by the Company or by investors in the Company.

Prospective investors should also carefully review the Risk Factors set out in Section 4 of this Prospectus and consult their professional adviser with any questions.

1.5. Key Features of the Company’s Business Model

The Company has assembled a portfolio of tungsten projects, at various levels of exploration maturity, as well as a Board and management group who understand tungsten mine development and production. We are focussed on the rapid evaluation of projects to confirm their potential for high-grade tungsten mineralisation that will deliver a positive cash flow quickly.

We will apply our skills and expertise to projects that meet our criteria of high grade mineralisation, good infrastructure and jurisdiction, and good metallurgy, allowing rapid development of mining operations. Specifically, our aim is not to be a junior explorer studying the same deposit over a number of years – our model is to move rapidly to mine development.

To achieve this, we will initially focus on Kilba Well, which is the most advanced part of our Gascoyne Project. We believe that we can complete a feasibility study on a small volume, profitable mine with the funds raised via this IPO. We anticipate that cash flow from a proposed mining operation will then underwrite further exploration and development activities with a minimum of dilution to Shareholders.

We will, in addition to actively seeking to improve the quality, and hence value, of our asset base by evaluating our own properties, seek to acquire other properties that fit our criteria.

We understand how to bring a project to commercial operation including the specific engineering inputs involved in the various levels of study required to reduce risks associated with project development and satisfying debt financing criteria. We aim to systematise our approach to project-building to ensure our stakeholders are fully informed of our processes and objectives.

We will focus on working in places that have a favourable mining environment, including a structured legal framework, stable government, local support favourable to mining and minimal impediments to mining.

Our vision is to build your company through an aggressive program of building small mines, to become a dominant player in the tungsten industry.

1.6. Key Financial Information

On the successful raising of $5,000,000 (and $8,000,000 if full oversubscriptions are accepted), we will have the funding required to carry out the exploration and development objectives set out in Section 3 and detailed in the Independent Geologist’s Report in Section 6. These objectives span the first 2 years of the Company’s operations following ASX listing.

Dependent on the outcome of the Company’s exploration activities, further funding may be required to undertake development of the Kilba Well project, further exploration or acquisitions. Access to additional funding will depend on market conditions and Company results. Any subsequent equity raising may dilute Shareholders’ interest in the Company’s shares. In addition, there is no guarantee that there will be an ongoing liquid market for Shares. Accordingly, there is a risk that, should the market for Shares become illiquid, Shareholders will be unable to realise their investment in the Company.

Details of the Company’s financial position and pro forma financial position are set out in the Investigating Accountants Report in Section 7.

We will maintain a portfolio of properties with a steady pipeline of tungsten projects, and focus only on those that present the best opportunity to rapidly develop profitable tungsten mines.

Section 3 Company and Project Overview

3.1. Background

Tungsten Mining was incorporated to amalgamate the rights to tungsten mineralisation in three groups of tenements in Western Australia and one in the Northern Territory with a focus on bringing its core Kilba Well project into early development and replicating the rapid mine development model on the other projects in its portfolio.

Tungsten is a commodity in high demand with the principal driver of consumption being tools used across the broad spectrum of the manufacturing industry, an application where there are currently no alternatives to tungsten due to its hardness and heat resistance. Global tungsten consumption is expected to be approximately 100,000t in 2012, of which it is estimated 70,000t will be newly-mined tungsten and 30,000t recycled. Annual consumption is expected to grow by 6% per annum in line with projected global GDP growth.

China is the dominant global producer, producing approximately 80% of global supply but has begun to implement measures to conserve its resources, such as restrictions on export licences and implementation of quotas and tariffs. In response to China’s restrictions the USA, Japan and EU have declared tungsten to be a critical raw material and a strategic metal. Supply and demand are currently in balance, however with no significant new sources of supply to meet the expected demand growth, the tungsten price has increased 3-fold in the past 3 years, to USD$21,000 per tonne for typical ex-mine concentrates with 68% contained WO . 3

These market fundamentals present a window of opportunity for Tungsten Mining to become engaged with the positive market sentiment. The individual assets that Tungsten Mining has amalgamated have either already-identified tungsten occurrences on them, or are highly prospective for tungsten occurrences, giving Tungsten Mining an optimistic outlook for near term participation in the tungsten market.

In particular, in mining lease M08/0314 in the Gascoyne Area of Western Australia, Tungsten Mining holds rights to an asset called Kilba Well that is highly prospective as an immediate mine development proposition. This view is based on the results of exploration and metallurgical testing carried out during the late 1970s and early-1980s by an Australian subsidiary of Union Carbide who was a major player in the tungsten mining industry during that era.

The short-term goal of the Company is to develop a tungsten mine at the Kilba Well project and the initial focus of the Company will be to carry out exploration, investigations and engineering development work, leading into a definitive feasibility study of the Kilba Well project.

Company Background

Tungsten Mining NL (formerly Tungsten West NL) was incorporated on 13 July 2011 with the objective of becoming a tungsten producer within a relatively short time, primarily through its flagship project, Kilba Well. Whilst Kilba Well will be the principal focus of the Company in the short term, a further key platform of the Company’s value proposition is its project portfolio concept. The Company intends to build on the potential mine development at Kilba Well and replicate the high-grade mine model with other projects in its extensive project pipeline. The projects the Company has assembled provide a range of exploration assets at different stages of maturity, and are considered in more detail below in Section 3.2 and in the accompanying Independent Geologist’s Report in Section 6.

Industry Background

Tungsten Metal

Tungsten is a very dense greyish-white metallic element that has a combination of relatively extreme properties compared to other metals, including the highest melting point of all single metals (some new alloys have higher melting points), and the second-highest of all the elements (after carbon), extreme strength

24

Tungsten Mining NL Prospectus

Section 3 Company and Project Overview

and high wear resistance, with a hardness approaching that of diamond when compounded into tungsten carbide, and the highest modulus of elasticity and highest tensile strength at high temperatures of all metals.

Due to this unique combination of properties tungsten has few, if any, substitutes in the majority of its applications. These properties allow tungsten to fulfil many specialised tasks in the modern industrial world and in many consumer goods and appliances.

Tungsten Deposits

There are currently only two commercially important minerals for the extraction of tungsten: namely, wolframite, (Fe,Mn)WO4, and scheelite, Ca WO . 4

The three principal types of economically important tungsten deposits are scheelite skarns, quartz - wolframite veins and porphyry stockwork wolframite.

Skarns are produced by high-temperature replacement and recrystallization of calcareous sedimentary rock, at or near the contact of an igneous intrusion, and range in size from small isolated pods scattered along the igneous contact to massive ore bodies. Tungsten Mining’s Kilba Well project is a typical skarn deposit.

Although skarn deposits are the most common form of tungsten deposit, quartz veins account for more than 60% of the world’s tungsten resources and most of the extensive deposits in China are of this vein type.

Tungsten Mining and Processing

Most of the world’s operating tungsten mines are underground mines and mining costs are high. Tungsten Mining will have a distinct advantage because the projects it is considering are based on surface deposits that are likely to be amenable to open cut mining.

Wolframite and scheelite both have a high specific gravity and are therefore generally recovered by conventional gravity concentration methods such as dense medium cyclones, jigs, spirals and shaking tables. Froth flotation can also sometimes be used to treat the finer size fractions in the case of scheelite, but is rarely suitable for fine wolframite recovery. The overall recovery of tungsten into final concentrate can be quite low with above 85% considered exceptional, and as low as 55% might still be considered acceptable.

Internationally-traded tungsten concentrates typically contain 65–73% WO3. Currently, production from individual operating mines ranges from 30,000 to 280,000 mtu per annum

(approximately 500t to 4,000t of concentrate), and virtually all production is shipped internationally in 20 tonne containers.

Ammonium Para-Tungstate (APT)

Most of the world’s mine output of concentrate is converted into APT. This conversion is basically a purification step that renders the tungsten into a form where it is more readily convertible into the end-use products of tungsten demand.

The resulting APT, which is a granular white solid, is used to produce various tungsten powders including tungsten trioxide, tungsten blue oxide, tungsten metal powders and tungsten carbides. Those powders are then in turn sintered and pressed to make the numerous final tungsten products including wire, billets, welding electrodes and tools.

APT is a readily-marketable commodity produced by only a relatively small number of manufacturers world-wide. The well-established pricing mechanism for APT sales (and, through it, tungsten concentrate sales) is based on industry quotations published twice weekly by London’s “Metal Bulletin” magazine (the “LMB price”, which is quoted in US$ per metric tonne unit of 10kg of WO3).

Finished Tungsten Products

Most tungsten metal powder is converted to tungsten carbide (WC) by reaction with pure carbon powder at 900-2,200°C in pusher or batch furnaces, a process called carburization. Tungsten carbide is, quantitatively, the most important tungsten compound. Because of its hardness, it is the main constituent in cemented carbide (hardmetal).

Hardmetals are a range of very hard, refractory, wear resistant materials made by “cementing” very hard tungsten carbide (WC) grains into a binder matrix of tough cobalt or nickel alloy by liquid phase sintering. With a hardness that is close to that of diamond, cemented carbides are used in applications that require extreme abrasion resistance, such as high performance cutting tools (used on metals, alloys, wood, composites, plastics and ceramics), metal-forming tools and mining and construction machinery. Scrap recycling is an important factor in the world’s tungsten supply. It is estimated that 30% of tungsten is recycled, and the tungsten processing industry is able to treat almost every kind of tungsten-containing scrap and waste to recover tungsten and, if present, other valuable constituents.

The International Tungsten Industry Association (ITIA) produced a price chart for APT based on data compiled by the United States Geological Survey, as per the figure above.

Since 2010 the APT price has again risen strongly, spiking at USD$500 in June, 2011, and settling back to the USD$390-USD$410 range as at August, 2012.

Factors currently affecting the tungsten price are:

  • Rising demand as a consequence of general economic growth, especially in the developing countries;

  • Chinese government policy restricting supply;

  • Supply diversity becoming increasingly important to tungsten buyers; and

  • High production cost and small resource base of the biggest non-Chinese tungsten supplier;

3.2. Project Information

Tungsten Mining brings a practical and handson approach to underexplored and overlooked Australian tungsten deposits. Without exception all the deposits within the portfolio have seen previous exploration that delineated mineralisation with encouraging results. In almost all cases it appears the prospects have been consigned to the “too hard basket” perhaps because of a lack of understanding of a development pathway. Tungsten Mining’s Board has proven operational experience in tungsten

evaluation and exploitation and believes the portfolio contains prospects that can be brought to a mining stage at low cost and in the short term.

The Board has assembled a pipeline of Projects ranging from grass-roots conceptual models to deposits like Kilba Well, already on a granted mining lease and with a significant drill database, which can be brought to a decision to mine in the near term.

3.2.1. Gascoyne Project Area

In the Gascoyne area of Western Australia, Tungsten Mining has a large land-holding of 240km[2] in 9 separate tenements, including 3 mining leases. Tungsten mineralisation has been identified at the Kilba Well and Love’s Find prospects.

Kilba Well

Australia and New Zealand Exploration Company (ANZECO), a subsidiary of Union Carbide, first discovered the significant tungsten-bearing (scheelite) skarn deposit at Kilba Well in 1973. Mapping, channel sampling, costeaning and diamond drilling defined mineralisation in several pods around an elliptical granitoid dome known as the eye structure. This is wholly located within mining lease M08/0314 as shown on Figure 3.2 below.

The more significant areas of tungsten mineralisation were termed zones, 8, 11 and 12.

Figure 3.2 – Kilba Well Prospect

(Yellow: morissey metamorphics; Pink: kilba granite; dotted pink: greisen; red: skarn; purple circles: drillholes)

At Zone 11, the most interesting, mineralisation has been detected over approximately 1,100m of strike extent and to a vertical depth of 150m. The host sequence dips between 45º and 60º to the southwest.

At Zone 8, mineralisation is developed along the southeast margin of the eye structure. Rock chip sampling of the Zone 8 skarns returned high tungsten assays, up to 2.85% WO3 over a 1.5m interval. Zone 8 skarns have been mapped over a strike length of approximately 600m trending east-northeast and dipping between 50º and 75º to the southeast.

At zone 12, mineralised skarn is developed on the northern flank of the eye structure. Mineralisation has been detected at surface over approximately 800m of strike.

Based on diamond drilling, costeaning and geological mapping an exploration target at Kilba Well for zone 11 has been identified within the range of 0.7Mt – 1.4Mt with a grade of between 0.5 and 0.9% WO31. Tungsten Mining believes that with further work this target will be upgraded to resource status.

Preliminary metallurgical testing carried out by Union Carbide showed that the ore is upgradable to an acceptable concentrate specification using a conventional separation route. Furthermore,

the scheelite liberation size was noted to be very coarse, in the realm of 2mm, and this suggests an even simpler processing route employing dense medium scalping, and also implies higherthan-average tungsten recovery. This simple metallurgy, coupled with the higher-than-average tungsten grade, adds confidence to Tungsten Mining’s view that Kilba Well is a prime target for mine development.

Tungsten Mining is confident that the tungsten mineralisation parameters indicated from the earlier work on M08/0314 provide a sound justification for proceeding immediately to the detailed investigative phase. The Company will execute an in-fill core drilling program on the Kilba Well deposits as soon as practicable after Listing. This drilling program, which may comprise up to 100 holes to average depth 60m on a 25m grid, will provide the design basis for deposit modelling and mine planning. It will also generate samples for metallurgical testing in order to define the optimum process route and attainable tungsten recovery.

Tungsten Mining has already initiated the environmental permitting process by commissioning site flora and fauna studies to coincide with the 2012 spring season to ensure this does not become a critical path issue to development.

1 The JORC Exploration Target has been subjected to diamond drill testing, costeaning and geological mapping by ANZECO. The potential quantity and grade of the exploration target is conceptual in nature, and should not be construed as indicating the existence of a JORC compliant Mineral Resource. There is insufficient information to define a JORC Mineral Resource, and it is uncertain if further development and interpretation will result in the determination of a JORC Mineral Resource.

Tungsten Mining NL Prospectus

Section 3 Company and Project Overview

It is anticipated that these studies, including mine planning and detailed process design and infrastructure studies, will be completed by June, 2013, and that a definitive feasibility study report will be issued at that time.

Love’s Find

At Love’s Find, tungsten mineralisation in the form of powellitic scheelite on Mining Lease M08/0493 is also associated with the intruding Kilba granite. Surface grab samples at grades up to 5.6% WO3 have been recorded. Though there is visual evidence of widespread occurrences of the prospective skarn horizons surrounding Love’s Find, it appears that the prospect has not been systematically mapped or evaluated using modern geophysical techniques. Additionally there is no record of the area having been drilled. Immediate drill targets exist at Love’s Find and a maiden drilling program will be completed to ascertain potential.

At the Whiskey Pool prospect 20 kilometres west of Love’s Find identification of high-grade wolframite mineralisation further highlights the potential for the discovery of new tungsten pegmatite or greisen-type deposits in the region.

Modern geophysical survey methods will be employed over the remainder of the wider project area at Whiskey Pool, Mt Murray and Woodcock where surface expressions of tungsten mineralisation have been identified, in conjunction with geological mapping to identify further targets.

3.2.2. Mosquito Creek

Located 85 kilometres South-east of Tennant Creek, in the Northern Territory, the Mosquito Creek Project comprises three exploration licence areas totalling 277 square kilometres within the Mosquito Creek Tungsten Field.

Tungsten mineralisation, as both wolframite and scheelite, occurs at several locations regionally. At the Mosquito Creek deposits the tungsten mineralisation is associated with poorly exposed greisen and quartz veins in the topographic “shadows” of outcrops of unaltered Hill of Leaders Granite.

Mosquito Creek was briefly mined for tungsten in the period 1951-1956. The mine workings comprise shallow trenches and costeans, usually less than 2m deep, although the deepest shaft reached 28m in the main vein. A recent air core drill program has shown that anomalous tungsten values extend for several hundred metres southeast of the main Hill of Leaders workings. The program intersected significant tungsten grades beneath alluvium up to several hundred metres from the Hill of Leaders historic

mines. Elsewhere within the Project anomalous tungsten grades in weathered bedrock were located up to 4.5 kilometres north-westerly and 10 kilometres south-easterly from the Hill of Leaders.

This most recent exploration is seen as encouraging in that it demonstrated that tungsten mineralisation is much more widespread that originally documented. Much of this shallow mineralisation is likely to be alluvial in style and amenable to low cost recovery and processing presenting an early cash flow opportunity.

The aircore drilling had limited penetration and the potential of the host granites to contain primary mineralisation remains to be tested by deeper drilling. The Company plans to undertake reverse circulation drilling to investigate primary tungsten mineralisation over identified anomalous zones the target being a high tonnage lower grade granitic hosted vein style of deposit.

3.2.3. Koolyanobbing

The Koolyanobbing Project tenements extend over a distance of 70 kilometres overlying and adjacent to the regional Koolyanobbing Fault. The project is located 45 kilometres northeast of Southern Cross, adjacent to the township of Koolyanobbing.

The northern group of tenements contains the Lake Seabrook Tungsten Prospect where Barrier Exploration NL (“Barrier”) first discovered scheelite and fluorite mineralisation in the 1970s. Significantly, scheelite mineralisation has been traced over a strike length of more than 5 kilometres.

Preliminary metallurgical testing carried out on a bulk sample collected from trenches was encouraging. From a head assay of 2.5% WO3, it was possible to recover a concentrate having a grade of 65% WO3, at a recovery of between 70 and 80%.

No dedicated evaluation of the tungsten potential of the Lake Seabrook Tungsten Prospect has been undertaken since the initial and limited exploration of the 1970s. Subsurface investigation has been restricted to shallow trenching. Hydrothermal alteration is prevalent in the rock types and the Company believes the prospect has the potential to host a vein/ stockwork style of deposit which are generally of lower grade but amenable to exploitation by low cost bulk mining methods.

First pass exploration would include mapping and night-lamping followed by RC drilling to evaluate the mineralisation at depth.

3.2.4. Callie Soak

The Callie Soak tungsten deposits are located about 11 kilometres northwest of the abandoned Big Bell Mining Centre in the Murchison region of Western Australia. The Callie Soak Project comprises one Exploration Licence and one exploration licence application. The Project is operated by Tungsten Australia Pty Ltd (an unrelated private Australian company) with Tungsten Mining having the right to a 20% free carried interest in the project until completion of a feasibility study.

The wolframite and minor scheelite bearing quartz veinlets are hosted in lensoid shaped quartz-biotitetopaz greisen zones, within steeply dipping shears in porphyritic granite and granite gneiss.

Callie Soak has an intermittent production history dating back to 1913 after tungsten was reported from the area in 1908. Systematic exploration has occurred in several phases beginning in 1949 and has included trenching percussion and diamond core drilling. It is our belief, as well as that of the current operator, that potential exists for down-plunge mineralisation.

Tungsten Mining anticipates that Callie Soak will develop into a small tonnage, low cost deposit with the potential to add tonnage at depth and from small satellite occurrences in the near vicinity.

3.3. Exploration Budget

The Company proposes to fund its intended activities as outlined in the tables below from the proceeds of the Offer. It should be noted that the budgets will be subject to modification on an ongoing basis depending on the results obtained from exploration undertaken. This will involve an ongoing assessment of the Company’s project interests and may lead to increased or decreased levels of expenditure on certain interests, reflecting a change in emphasis. Subject to the above, the following expenditure is proposed:

Section 4 Risk Factors

Section 4 Risk Factors

4.1. Introduction

Prospective investors in the Company should be aware that subscribing for Shares in the Company involves a number of Risks. Tungsten Mining is an exploration company and an investment in the Company should be considered speculative. Risks specific to the Company are included in Section 1.4 of the Prospectus.

The business activities of Tungsten Mining are subject to various risks that may impact on the future performance of the Company. Some of these risks can be mitigated by the use of safeguards and appropriate systems and controls, but some are outside the control of the Company and cannot be mitigated. There are risk factors that investors should consider and seek independent advice on before deciding whether or not to invest in Shares. The principal risk factors include, but are not limited to, the following.

4.2. Tenure Risks

The Company has entered into rights to acquire certain mineral rights. The rights to such minerals are governed by title granted by either the Department of Mines and Petroleum (DMP) or the Department of Resources – Minerals and Energy (Northern Territory Department) in relation to the Western Australian and Northern Territory projects respectively. Some of the righnts pertain to tenement applications that have not yet been granted. While no objections to the applications have been lodged, there is no guarantee that grant will be forthcoming and the conditions of grant (restricted operating covenants that may be imposed by the DMP or Northern Territory Department) are at this stage unknown.

==> picture [38 x 39] intentionally omitted <==

4.3. Title Risks and Native Title

Interests in tenements in Australia are governed by the respective state legislation and are evidenced by the granting of licences or leases. Each licence or lease is for a specific term and carries with it annual expenditure and reporting commitments, as well as other conditions that require compliance. Consequently, the Company could lose title to, or its interest in, tenements if licence conditions are not met or if insufficient funds are available to meet expenditure commitments. It is also possible that, in relation to tenements in which the Company has an interest, or will in the future acquire such an interest, there may be areas over which legitimate common law native title rights of Aboriginal Australians exist. If native title rights do exist, the ability of the Company to gain access to tenements (by obtaining the consent of any relevant landowner) or to progress from the exploration phase to the development and mining phases of operations may be adversely affected.

4.4. Exploration Risks

Potential investors should understand that exploration and development is a highrisk undertaking, and that exploration and development of mineral properties is speculative.

There can be no assurance that exploration of acquired projects or exploration properties that may be acquired in the future will result in the discovery of an economic resource. Even if an apparently viable resource is identified, there is no guarantee that it can be economically exploited.

Section 4 Risk Factors

Any future exploration activities of the Company may be affected by a range of factors, including geological conditions, limitations on activities due to seasonal weather patterns, unanticipated operational and technical difficulties, industrial and environmental incidents, native title process, changes to government regulations and many other factors beyond the control of the Company.

The success of the Company will also depend upon it having access to sufficient development capital, being able to maintain rights under the terms of agreements currently in place and its ability to meet all statutory requirements, including DMP requirements, as may be necessary to preserve underlying tenure. If the exploration programmes prove unsuccessful, this could lead to a diminution in the value of the tenement.

4.5. Exploration Cost Estimates

The exploration costs of the Company described in Section 3.3 of this Prospectus are based on certain assumptions with respect to the method and timing of exploration. By their nature, these estimates and assumptions are subject to significant uncertainties and, accordingly, actual costs may materially differ from these estimates and assumptions. Accordingly, no assurance can be given that the cost estimates and the assumptions that underlie them will be realised in practice, which may materially and adversely affect the Company’s viability.

4.6. Economic Risks

General economic conditions, movements in interest and inflation rates, the prevailing global tungsten price and currency exchange rates may all have an adverse effect on the Company’s exploration, development and production activities, as well as on its ability to fund those activities.

Further, share market conditions may affect the value of the Company’s quoted securities regardless of the Company’s operating performance. Share market conditions are affected by many factors such as:

  • the general economic outlook;

  • interest and inflation rates;

  • changes in investor sentiment;

  • the demand for, and supply of, capital; and

  • terrorism or other hostilities.

4.7. Commodity Price Volatility and Exchange Rate Risks

In the event that the Company achieves success leading to tungsten production, the revenue it will derive through the sale of tungsten concentrate exposes the potential income of the Company to commodity price and exchange rate risks.

Commodity prices fluctuate and are affected by many factors beyond the control of the Company. Such factors include supply and demand fluctuations for tungsten, technological advancements, forward-selling activities and other macro-economic factors.

Furthermore, the international prices of various commodities are denominated in United States dollars, whereas the income and expenditure of the Company are, and will be taken into account in, Australian currency, exposing the Company to the fluctuations and volatility of the rate of exchange between the United States dollar and the Australian dollar as determined in international markets.

Section 4 Risk Factors

4.8. Environmental Impact Constraints

The Company’s exploration programmes will, in general, be subject to approval by governmental authorities. Development of any of the Company’s Projects will be dependent on it meeting environmental guidelines and, where necessary, gaining approval from governmental authorities.

4.9. Environmental Risks

The operations and proposed activities of the Company are subject to state and federal laws and regulations concerning the environment. As with most exploration Projects and mining operations, the Company’s activities are expected to have an impact on the environment, particularly if advanced exploration or field development proceeds. It is the Company’s intention to conduct its activities to the highest standard of environmental obligation, including compliance with all environmental laws. Nevertheless, there are certain risks inherent in the Company’s activities, including the risk of accidental leakages or spills, or other unforeseen circumstances that could subject the Company to extensive liability.

In this regard, the DMP, Northern Territory Department, or other relevant state bodies from time to time reviews the environmental bonds placed on permits. The Directors are not in a position to state whether a review is imminent or whether the outcome of such a review would be detrimental to the funding requirements of the Company.

4.10. Government and Legal Risks

Changes in government, monetary policies, taxation and other laws can have a significant impact on the Company’s assets, operations and, ultimately, its financial performance and securities.

4.11. Carbon Tax

The carbon tax, effective from 1 July 2012, may contribute towards increased overheads in the future financial years, the extent of which is unclear.

4.12. Additional Requirements for Capital

The Company’s capital requirements depend on numerous factors. Depending on the Company’s ability to generate income from its operations, it may require financing additional to that raised under this Prospectus. Any additional equity financing will dilute shareholdings, and debt financing, if available, may involve restrictions on financing and operating activities. If the Company cannot obtain additional financing as required, it may be necessary to reduce the scope of its operations and/or scale back its exploration programmes as the case may be.

4.13. Resource Estimates

Resource estimates are judgements based on knowledge, experience and industry practice. Estimates valid when originally calculated may alter significantly if/when new information or techniques become available. In addition, resource estimates are by their very nature imprecise and depend to some extent on interpretations that may prove inaccurate. As further information becomes available as a result of additional fieldwork and analysis, the estimates are likely to change. This may result in alterations to development and mining plans, which may in turn adversely affect the Company’s operations.

32

Tungsten Mining NL Prospectus

Section 4 Risk Factors

4.14. Insurance Risks

Insurance coverage of all risks associated with Tungsten Mining and production is not always available and, where it is, the cost can be high. The Company will have in place insurance considered appropriate for the Company’s needs. Tungsten Mining will not be insured against all possible losses, due either to the unavailability of cover or the Directors’ belief that the premiums are excessive relative to the benefits that would accrue. The Directors believe that the insurance they will have in place will be appropriate. That said, the Directors will continue to review the insurance cover in place to ensure that it is adequate.

4.15. Risks from Competition

The industry in which the Company will be involved is subject to competition, particularly from China, due to its dominance of the industry historically. Although the Company will undertake all reasonable due diligence in its business decisions and operations, it will have no influence or control over the activities or actions of its competitors, which activities or actions may positively or negatively affect the operating and financial performance of the Company’s Projects and business.

4.17. Speculative Nature of the Investment

The above list of risk factors ought not to be taken as exhaustive of the risks faced by the Company or investors in it. These factors, and others not specifically referred to above, may in the future materially affect the financial performance of the Company and the value of the Shares offered under this Prospectus. Therefore, the Shares to be issued pursuant to this Prospectus carry no guarantee with respect to the payment of dividends, returns of capital or the market value of those securities.

Potential investors should consider that an investment in the Company is speculative and consult their professional advisers before deciding whether to apply for Shares pursuant to this Prospectus.

4.16. Reliance on Key Management Personnel

Responsibility for overseeing the day-to-day operations and strategic management of the Company rests entirely with its senior management and key personnel. No assurance can be given that no detrimental impact on the Company will occur if one or more of these employees leaves the Company’s employ.

Tungsten Mining NL Prospectus

Section 6 Independent Geologist’s Report

EXECUTIVE SUMMARY

Tungsten Mining NL (“Tungsten Mining” or “The Company”) has assumed a portfolio of tenements in four properties, all containing tungsten mineralisation, namely the Gascoyne, Mosquito Creek, Koolyanobbing and Callie Soak Projects. The Tungsten Mining portfolio includes 17 Exploration Licences (“EL”), 9 Exploration Licence Applications (“ELA”), 3 Mining Leases (“ML”), 1 Mining Lease Application (“MLA) and 3 pending Miscellaneous Licences. The Projects cover approximately 1,084km[2] (108,373 hectares).

This report discusses the geological setting, exploration history, previous work and proposed exploration of the projects of Tungsten Mining. The Company has the rights to acquire a 100% interest in the Gascoyne Project, the Mosquito Creek Project and the Koolyanobbing Project, unencumbered by vendor royalties, free carried interests or claw back provisions. Tungsten Mining has a 20% free carried interest to the completion of a feasibility study in the Callie Soak Project.

The exploration portfolio offers a blend of projects in mineral producing regions with good infrastructures, long mining histories and currently producing mines, and those of a more speculative nature with conceptual targets with limited previous exploration.

The Gascoyne Project is located approximately 320km northeast of the regional centre of Carnarvon, and 250km southwest of the town of Karratha and the major port of Dampier. The Project comprises the advanced exploration prospects of Kilba Well and Love’s Find, together with nearby areas prospective for tungsten and base metal mineralisation.

Australia and New Zealand Exploration Company first discovered the significant tungsten-bearing skarn deposit at Kilba Well in 1973. Mapping, channel sampling, costeaning and diamond drilling defined resources in several pods around the elliptical granitoid.

Drilling intersected significant tungsten mineralisation, including highlights of 7.65m at 0.8% WO3, 3.17m at 5.35% WO3 and 0.92m at 17.2 % WO3 (refer Table 3). The most consistent mineralisation was encountered at a prospect identified as Zone 11, where channel sampling of four costeans returned values up to 0.86% WO3. Preliminary metallurgical testing showed that the material from Zone 11 could be upgraded to an acceptable concentrate (better than 65% WO3) by a combination of gravity and magnetic separation and flotation. The exploration work also delineated other promising target areas at Kilba Well.

Based on diamond drilling, costeaning and geological mapping an exploration target at Kilba Well for Zone 11 has been identified within the range of 0.7Mt – 1 1.4Mt with a grade of between 0.5 and 0.9% WO3 .

At Love’s Find, tungsten mineralisation is associated with the intruding Kilba granite and although surface grab samples at grades up to 5.66% WO3 have been encountered, there has been no drilling or other exploration of significance. There is visual evidence of widespread occurrences of the prospective skarn horizons surrounding Love’s Find, but it appears that neither geological mapping nor geophysical techniques have been employed in the area.

Immediate drill targets exist at both Kilba Well and Love’s Find. Drilling at Kilba Well will focus on enabling a JORC compliant resource calculation, whilst a maiden drilling program will be completed at Love’s Find to ascertain potential. Modern geophysical survey methods will be employed over the remainder of the project areas, in conjunction with geological mapping to identify further targets.

The Mosquito Creek Project is located 80km southeast of Tennant Creek within the Northern Territory and is centred on the Mosquito Creek Tungsten Field (also referred to as the Hill of Leaders workings). Local geology is dominated by the Hill of Leaders Granite which is the host for the tungsten mineralisation, dominantly occurring as scheelite.

The Mosquito Creek Tungsten Field was discovered in 1951 and abandoned in 1956 after producing 2.5t of WO3 concentrate from 150t of ore. The mine workings comprise shallow trenches and costeans, usually less than 2m deep, although the deepest shaft reached 28m in the main vein.

A recent air core drill program has shown that anomalous tungsten values extend for several hundred metres southeast of the main Hill of Leaders workings. The program intersected significant tungsten grades beneath alluvium up to several hundred metres from the Hill of Leaders historic mines. Elsewhere within the Project anomalous tungsten grades in weathered bedrock were located up to 4.5km north-westerly and 10km south-easterly from the Hill of Leaders.

The Koolyanobbing Project is situated in the Koolyanobbing greenstone belt located within the Archaean Yilgarn Craton of Western Australia. The project is located 45km northeast of Southern Cross, adjacent to the township of Koolyanobbing.

1 The JORC Exploration Target has been subjected to diamond drill testing, costeaning and geological mapping by ANZECO. The potential quantity and grade of the exploration target is conceptual in nature, and should not be construed as indicating the existence of a JORC compliant Mineral Resource. There is insufficient information to define a JORC Mineral Resource, and it is uncertain if further development and interpretation will result in the determination of a JORC Mineral Resource.

Section 6 Independent Geologist’s Report

The northern group of tenements includes the Lake Seabrook Tungsten Prospect where Barrier Exploration NL (“Barrier”) first discovered scheelite-fluorite mineralisation in the 1970’s. Scheelite mineralisation has been traced over a strike length of more than 5km.

Barrier identified several zones of mineralisation with scheelite content up to 5.55% WO3. A number of samples were collected from a trench across a biotite schist and averaged 4.0% CaF2 and 0.18% WO3. Detrital scheelite is present in considerable amounts in soil surrounding the high grade shoots.

An immediate exploration target exists where the talcchlorite host zone coincides with folding-faulting over a major crush-shear zone, and associated with a quartz vein emplacement.

The Callie Soak Project is located approximately 11km northwest of the abandoned Big Bell Mining Centre, 40km west-northwest of the town of Cue in the Murchison region of Western Australia. The Project is operated by Tungsten Australia Pty Ltd with Tungsten Mining having a 20% free carried interest to the completion of a feasibility study.

The Callie Soak tungsten deposits were actively mined during the period between 1913 and 1916. Production from sundry claims in the area produced 25t of concentrate containing 1.47t of WO3.

The Callie Soak deposits occur near the top of a porphyritic granite dome. Late stage quartz-rich pegmatites have intruded the granite and appear to have introduced tungsten mineralisation. Martin’s Lode and New Lode are within a quartz-magnetite host rock intruded by numerous small quartz veins parallel to quartz-rich pegmatite. The Bald Hill Lode is a quartzrich pegmatite intruding quartz-epidote and biotite granite. Wolframite is the most common mineral, although local concentrations of scheelite are known. Historical drill data has indicated potential to increase the deposit size of Martin’s Lode, particularly in the northern down dip direction.

Tungsten Mining has proposed an aggressive exploration program which will commence immediately upon successful ASX listing. The proposed exploration programs and budgets are in accordance with the perceived prospectivity and in balance with the funds to be raised pursuant to the offer under the Prospectus. All work programs and budgets are subject to initial results, and budgets may be diverted to more prospective projects as warranted. The Directors of Tungsten Mining are technically qualified to manage the proposed exploration programs and plan further work depending on the results.

Dear Sirs,

1.0 Preamble

INDEPENDENT GEOLOGIST REPORT ON EXPLORATION PROPERTIES OF TUNGSTEN MINING NL

FRM Geological Services (“FRM”) has been requested by Tungsten Mining NL (“Tungsten Mining” or the “Company”) to prepare an Independent Geologist’s Report (“IGR” or the “Report”) on the Company’s projects located in three project regions of Western Australia (namely the Gascoyne Project, the Koolyanobbing Project and the Callie Soak Project) and a single project in the Northern Territory (the Mosquito Creek Project). The Company owns the rights to acquire a 100% interest in the Gascoyne Project, the Mosquito Creek Project and the Koolyanobbing Project and has a 20% free carried interest to the completion of a feasibility study in the Callie Soak. The Projects include a total of 33 tenements and cover an area of 1,084 km[2] , with locations depicted in Figure 1.

This Report is to be included in a Prospectus to be lodged by Tungsten Mining with the Australian Securities and Investment Commission (“ASIC”) on or about the 2 October 2012, offering for subscription 25,000,000 fully paid ordinary shares in the capital of Tungsten Mining (“Shares”) at an issue price of twenty (20) cents per Share to raise $5,000,000. Up to a further 15,000,000 Shares may be issued at an issue price of twenty (20) cents per Share to raise up to an additional $3,000,000 in the case of oversubscription, taking the maximum amount able to be raised to $8,000,000.

The funds raised will be used for the purpose of exploration and evaluation of the four project areas of the Company. Tungsten Mining’s exploration portfolio offers a blend of advanced projects in mineral producing regions with good infrastructures, long mining histories and currently producing mines, and those of a more speculative nature with conceptual targets with limited previous exploration and potentially higher reward.

The legal statuses of Tungsten Mining’s Projects are subject to a separate Independent Solicitor’s Report on Mining Tenements which is set out in the Prospectus and these matters have not been independently verified by FRM. The present status of tenements listed this Report is based on information provided by Tungsten Mining and the Report has been prepared on the assumption that the tenements will prove lawfully accessible for evaluation and development.

In the course of the preparation of this Report, access has been provided to all relevant data held by Tungsten Mining and various other technical reports and information quoted in the bibliography. The information used to prepare this Report is drawn from:

  • (a) discussions with consultants, directors and management of Tungsten Mining;

  • (b) reports prepared by previous tenement holders and their consultants; and

  • (c) scientific and technical research reports and papers publicly available.

FRM does not doubt the authenticity or substance of previous investigating reports. FRM has not however, carried out a complete audit of the information but has relied on previous reporting and documentation where applicable and has used this for research purposes with qualifications applied, where necessary. Details in respect of environmental and native title considerations are beyond the scope of this Report and readers are directed to the Solicitor’s Report on Mining Tenements in Section 8 of the Tungsten Mining Prospectus for additional information regarding the Company’s Projects.

2.0 Gascoyne Project

2.1 Introduction

The Gascoyne Project comprises nine tenements, covering an area of approximately 226km[2] located within the Ashburton Region of Western Australia. The project is located 320km northeast of the regional centre of Carnarvon, and 250km southwest of the town of Karratha and the major port of Dampier, which service the southern Pilbara region (Figure 1). It is centred close to the Nanutarra Roadhouse on the Great Northern Highway.

The Project comprises the advanced exploration prospects of Kilba Well and Love’s Find, together with nearby areas prospective for tungsten and base metal mineralisation.

Australia and New Zealand Exploration Company (“ANZECO”) first discovered the significant tungsten-bearing skarn deposit at Kilba Well in 1973 during reconnaissance heavy mineral concentrate panning. Following scheelite grain counting of concentrates, night UV lamping was carried out in anomalous catchments. This led to the discovery of a number of mineralised, skarnaltered marbles and calc-silicates. Subsequent mapping, channel sampling, costeaning and diamond drilling defined resources in several pods around the elliptical granitoid.

Drilling intersected significant tungsten mineralisation, including highlights of 7.65m at 0.8% WO3, 3.17m at 5.35% WO3 and 0.92m at 17.2 % WO . The most consistent mineralisation 3 was encountered at a prospect identified as Zone 11 where channel sampling of four costeans returned values up to 0.86% WO3.

Preliminary metallurgical testing showed that the material from Zone 11 could be upgraded to an acceptable concentrate (better than 65% WO3) by a combination of gravity and magnetic separation and flotation. Following the drilling programs it was deemed that there was insufficient drill data to calculate ore reserves; however ANZECO calculated estimates during 1980, with the figures and parameters documented in Middleton (1981).

At Love’s Find, tungsten mineralisation is associated with the intruding Kilba granite and although surface grab samples at grades up to 5.66% WO3 have been encountered, there has been no drilling or other exploration of significance. There is visual evidence of widespread occurrences of the prospective skarn horizons surrounding Love’s Find, but it appears that neither geological mapping nor geophysical techniques have been employed in the area.

Immediate drill targets exist at both Kilba Well and Love’s Find. Drilling at Kilba Well will focus on enabling a JORC compliant resource calculation, whilst a maiden drilling program will be completed at Love’s Find to ascertain potential. Modern geophysical survey methods will be employed over the remainder of the project areas, in conjunction with geological mapping to identify further targets.

The Gascoyne Project encompasses widespread areas of tungsten values and has substantial potential for the further definition of economically viable deposits of tungsten in areas of known mineralisation and for the discovery of new zones at Kilba Well and Love’s Find.

2.2 Location, Access and Tenure

The Gascoyne Project is located within the Ashburton Region of Western Australia, located 320km northeast of the regional centre of Carnarvon, and 250km southwest of the town of Karratha and the major port of Dampier.

Dampier is one of Australia’s largest tonnage ports, exporting iron ore, salt, liquid natural gas, liquid petroleum gas and condensate. The Dampier Port Authority operates a public wharf suitable for general cargo. The public wharf can berth vessels up to 35,000t displacement (Handysize). The prospects are located within 30 to 50km of the Dampier to Bunbury Natural Gas Pipeline, which lies to the west of the Northwest Coastal Highway.

The principal access to the project area is provided by the Northwest Coastal Highway, a sealed dual lane carriageway, with all prospects within one to thirty kilometres from the Highway. General access is via unsealed station tracks accessible only to four wheel drive vehicles.

Access to the Kilba Well Prospect is gained via the Uaroo-Glen Florrie (Road, which leaves the Northwest Coastal Highway approximately 20km southeast of Nanutarra Roadhouse. The prospect can then be accessed by good quality

station tracks as far as Kilba Bore, thence by degraded station tracks and exploration tracks via Moodong Bore to the various areas of interest. The Love’s Find Prospect is accessible via station tracks from approximately 1km south of Nanutarra Roadhouse and the Ashburton River.

The terrain is characterised by rugged ranges rising from broad plains. Hills and strike ridges rise up 300m above the surrounding plain. The area is semi-arid, coastal and characterised by a sub-tropical climatic regime. Average annual rainfall is approximately 350mm, most of which results from tropical depressions during late summer. Vegetation is typified by open, spinifex grassland with scattered trees and shrubs.

The Gascoyne Project comprises three Mining Leases, one Mining Lease Application, four Exploration Licences, two Exploration Licence Applications and three Miscellaneous Licences, covering an area of approximately 240km[2] (24,042 hectares). Current registered holders of the tenements are Tungsten West, BRL Exploration Pty Ltd and SM3-W Pty Ltd, as shown in Table 1.

Tungsten Mining has 100% interest in all tenements. The Project has a current expenditure commitment of $175,500 per reporting year.

2.3 Gascoyne Project Geology

The Gascoyne Project is located within both the Yanrey and the Wyloo 1:250,000 Geological Map Sheets, published by the Geological Survey of Western Australia (Figure 2). The tenements comprising these prospects lie within the Ashburton Formation which forms part of the Proterozoic Wyloo Group. The Wyloo Group unconformably overlies the Turee Creek Group and Hamersley Group of the Hamersley Basin to the east. The Mount Minnie Group and Bangemall Group of the Bangemall Basin unconformably overlie the Wyloo Group, which is also unconformably overlain by Phanerozoic Rocks on the Yanrey Map Sheet.

The Ashburton Formation, which occurs at the upper part of the Wyloo Group, is dominant within the areas of interest. Three principal sedimentary facies comprise the Ashburton Formation:

  • (i) Basin plain / interchannel (mudstones and thin sandstones)

  • (ii) Submarine distributary channel/lobe (thin to thick bedded sandstone and pebbly sandstone)

  • (iii) Major submarine channel (thick-bedded conglomerate and massive sandstone).

The sedimentary sequences of the Ashburton formation were laid down in a deep cratonmarginal basin during a period of down faulting and subsidence and were derived from the Sylvania Dome to the east and the adjacent northern Gascoyne and Hamersley Basin.

Sedimentary rocks of the Ashburton Formation have been subjected to regional and contact metamorphism, granitoid intrusion and multiple deformation, giving rise to the Morrisey Metamorphic Suite. Metamorphic grades increase towards the west and southwest and have resulted in a range of metamorphic gradations from quartz muscovite schists through to higher grade amphibolites, marble and localised migmatites.

Within the areas of interest, a large syn- to post-tectonic granitoid body referred to as the Kilba Granite was emplaced into the Ashburton Formation. Contact metamorphism and metasomatism associated with the Kilba Granite has resulted in the development of skarn and marble, with development of grossular garnet at the higher grades of metamorphism.

Two main phases of deformation are recognised in the Wyloo Group:

  • D1 deformation resulted in steep dipping bedding and a well-developed schistosity coincident with the peak of regional metamorphism. Granitoid, including the Kilba Granite, was emplaced late or after D1.

  • D2 deformation is responsible for most of the large scale folding observed within the Ashburton Formation, and has folded earlier fabrics into open to tight folds. In the vicinity of Mt Alexander, tight F2 folds have a northnortheast trend and steep north-northeast plunge.

2.4 Mineralisation

2.4.1 Kilba Well

The geology of the Kilba Well prospect is dominated by an east-west trending elliptical dome of the Kilba Granite which is known as the “eye structure” (Image 1 and Figure 3). This structure has attenuated the confining sedimentary sequences and Morrisey Metamorphic derivatives of the Ashburton Formation, which form a rim around the eye structure.

The sedimentary sequence has undergone D1 regional deformation and the emplacement of the Kilba granite, and localised complex polyphase folding of both the D1 and D2 series with tight to isoclinal folding closest to the eye structure.

The country rocks comprise biotite-quartz schist, quartz-sericite-chlorite schist, quartzite, dolomite and marble, calc-silicate rocks and amphibolite. The principal hosts to mineralisation are skarn assemblages, formed by contact metamorphism and fluid alteration of calcareous units. These rocks display a wide range of mineralogy exclusive to calcareous rocks.

Scheelite mineralisation occurs disseminated within skarn rocks adjacent to the Kilba Granite. A number of occurrences have been identified, the most of significant of which are Zone 8, Zone 11 and Zone 12. The greatest concentration of scheelite is associated with the most intensely altered skarns. Fluorite commonly accompanies scheelite mineralisation.

Base metal sulphide mineralisation is present in isolated settings at Kilba Well. The most common sulphide mineral observed is pyrrhotite, with less abundant pyrite, chalcopyrite, sphalerite and arsenopyrite. Galena occurrences have been noted in quartz veins.

At Zone 11, eight costeans and 15 diamond drillholes have been completed. Mineralisation has been detected over approximately 1,100m of strike extent and to a vertical depth of 150m. The host sequence dips between 45º and 60º to the southwest. Mineralisation is associated with a low ridge, surrounded by alluvial cover.

==> picture [233 x 175] intentionally omitted <==

Image 2: Kilba Well calc-silicate rock

==> picture [233 x 176] intentionally omitted <==

Image 3: Zone 11 skarn

At Zone 8, mineralisation is associated with the flank of a major ridge, developed along the southeast margin of a stock of Kilba Granite. Zone 8 skarns have been mapped over a strike length of approximately 600m trending eastnortheast and dipping between 50º and 75º to the southeast. Two costeans and nine diamond drillholes have been completed.

At Zone 12, mineralised skarn is developed on the northern flank of a granite stock. Mineralisation at surface has been detected over approximately 800m of strike. The zone disappears beneath alluvial cover to the southwest, and is truncated by a zone of crosscutting pegmatite to the northeast. Five diamond drillholes have been completed to a maximum depth of 64 vertical metres, with mineralisation detected in drilling over approximately 300m of strike.

2.4.2 Love’s Find

The Love’s Find Prospect comprises a sequence of Morrisey Metamorphic Suite rocks, predominantly mica schist and calc-silicate skarn, intruded by Kilba Granitoid. Disseminations of scheelite mineralisation are best developed when associated with calc-silicate rocks in close proximity to granitoid exposures and pegmatite veins.

Scheelite mineralisation has been detected during ultraviolet light scanning, with grab samples collected assaying up to 2.77% WO3, with an average grade of 0.58% WO3; however no significant exploration has been reported.

2.5 Exploration History

2.5.1 Kilba Well

The majority of the work that led to the delineation of tungsten mineralisation at Kilba Well was completed by Australia and New Zealand Exploration Company between 1973 and 1981.

Between 1973 and 1974, ANZECO conducted a heavy mineral concentrate stream sediment sampling program over the Kilba Well area. Tungsten mineralisation was confirmed through scheelite grain counting and ultraviolet lamp detection. The source of the tungsten mineralisation was traced to a number of scheelite mineralised skarn altered marbles and calc-silicate units, over which Mineral Claims were pegged. The area covered by the original Mineral Claims lies within the tenure that has been acquired by Tungsten Mining.

Over the period 1974-1975, geological mapping, costeaning and diamond drilling were completed. Nine costeans were excavated over a total length of 325m, and six of the costeans were channel sampled returning numerous significant WO3 assays in the range of 0.13 - 0.71% over apparent widths of up to 3.4m. Nine diamond drillholes were cored for 645m. The drilling tested to a maximum vertical depth of approximately

Section 6 Independent Geologist’s Report

125m, and the most encouraging results were returned from two areas known as Zone 11 and Zone 8. At Zone 11, mineralised intercepts of up to 7.65m at 0.8% WO3 were encountered (DDH04). These results represent the best results from a series of lower grade values. The average value is not known and they should not be taken to represent the average grade of the samples unless otherwise stated.

A further nine diamond drillholes were completed during 1975 at Zone 11 and Zone 8. The drilling tested to a maximum vertical depth of approximately 150m. At Zone 11, significant skarn altered sections of carbonate and calcsilicate rock were intersected in four drillholes, but with erratic mineralisation. Strong tungsten mineralisation was intersected, including an intercept of 3.17m at 5.35% WO3 (DDH19). At Zone 8, granite dykes generally prevented intersections being made with the outcropping horizons. Only two holes intersected narrow intercepts of skarn altered carbonate or calcsilicate rock. The mineralisation at Zone 8 included a best result of 3.0m at 1.81% WO 3 (Middleton, 1981b).

In 1976 and 1977, 13 diamond drillholes for a total of 1,231m were completed. Most of the drilling campaign (ten holes) was directed at Zone 11, which was proving to be the most continuous zone of mineralisation. Two holes were cored into Zone 8 and one hole was drilled into the Zone 10 area in the south-eastern quadrant of the claim area.

An additional seven costeans were excavated. Four of the costeans were through Zone 11 and returned channel samples ranging from 0.3% up to 0.86% WO3. One costean through Zone 8 yielded channel sample assays ranging from 0.34% up to 1.60% WO3. A single costean was sunk into each of Zone 10, and Zone 9 (to the east of Zone 8). Insignificant mineralisation was indicated in the Zone 10 and Zone 9 costeans (Bell, 1977).

During 1977, two samples from Zone 11, consisting of quartered drill core and costean surface material were submitted to Union Carbide for scheelite beneficiation sighter metallurgical test work. Sample (1) consisted of surface material from a costean at Zone 11 and sample (2) consisted of quartered drill core from various holes. The test work showed that a concentrate of > 65% WO3 could be produced using a combination of gravity separation, low intensity magnetic separation (LIMS) and froth flotation (Refer Table 2).

During 1980, ANZECO planned a program to determine whether mineralisation occurrences other than Zone 11 and the western part of Zone 8 might amount to targets of suitable grade and tonnage, such as to warrant individual development or as supplement to prospective tonnages at Zone 11. This was to be achieved by detailed mapping and night lamping followed up by diamond drilling the most promising occurrences.

The geological mapping located additional drilling targets at Zone 8 and Zone 11. A new target area, Zone 12, was mapped on the northern flank of a granitic stock. Ten diamond drillholes were drilled for a total of 702m. Five holes were sited on the Zone 12 area, of which four returned significant tungsten mineralisation (> 0.1% WO3), including a best intercept of 3.98m at 0.23% WO3 (DDH25, 51.4m to 56.05m).

Of four holes drilled into Zone 8, three returned significant tungsten mineralisation, with a best result of 3.0m at 1.81% WO . One diamond 3 drillhole was positioned at the western extremity of Zone 11, intersecting up to 3.4m at 0.14% WO and 1.2m at 0.23% WO . The results 3 3 indicated that Zone 11 mineralisation has a strike extent of approximately one kilometre.

Following the drilling program it was deemed that there was insufficient drill data to calculate ore reserves; however ANZECO produced estimates during 1980, with the figures and parameters documented in Middleton (1981).

During 2005, the Kilba Well Project was included in a portfolio of tungsten projects in the Gascoyne region, in an initial public offering launched under the name of Vital Minerals Ltd (“Vital”). Work completed by Vital included verification of previous exploration activities, reconnaissance mapping, the purchase of Landsat imagery and the commissioning of a magnetic and radiometric survey. Vital planned to implement a drilling program to confirm the continuity of the skarn horizons, however their focus shifted to West African gold exploration and no further work was completed.

2.5.2 Love’s Find Prospect

During 1981, AMAX Australia Ltd (“AMAX”) undertook an initial assessment of the Love’s Find Prospect, collecting composite grab samples of outcropping garnet-epidote skarn. The skarn returned assay values of up to 2.77% WO3, and an average grade of 0.58% WO3 was calculated, using XRF pressed powder techniques. Results by XRF fusion techniques were consistently 8% lower (Robinson, 1981).

Twenty five costeans were cut in an attempt to delineate the extent of the skarn mineralisation. Trench 3 in the Pb-Zn gossan area was deepened to 1.5m, with the elevated Pb-Zn values returned at 0.5m persisting to the 1.5m level, and was deemed likely due to disseminated mineralisation at depth. Three additional trenches were opened up along this zone and Trench 2 was extended. Channel sample analyses of all trenches were completed, although results are unclear. Three specimens were submitted for petrological study.

No drill testing of the Love’s Find skarn has been carried out.

2.5.3 Surrounding Prospects

The surrounding prospects have had a variety of historical work completed over and around them, generally focusing on uranium, base metals, gold and silver. Limited exploration has been directed towards tungsten mineralisation, tungsten exploration to date is detailed below.

In 1980 prospector T. Low discovered an outcropping quartz vein with tungsten mineralisation at Whiskey Pool. Trenching delineated a quartz-wolframite vein up to 0.5m thick within the Lower Proterozoic gneisses. Two rock chip samples returned 0.29 and 0.54%

==> picture [233 x 175] intentionally omitted <==

Image 4: Pegmatite in creek, Whiskey Pool

W. A larger 5 kg sample of wolframite-bearing quartz vein from a small excavated pit was sieved into coarse and fine fractions followed by gravity separation and assaying of the concentrates and tails. Back calculations estimated the original W grade in the 10-15% WO3 range. Despite the encouraging results, no further follow up work was completed and the tenement was relinquished after a rapid decline in the commodity price.

BRL Exploration Pty Ltd (“BRL”) held tenure over the Whiskey Pool and the Mt Murray Prospects from 2008 and 2009, respectively. BRL completed a geological and geophysical data review and compilation, reconnaissance mapping, radiometric survey, rock chip sampling and handheld XRF analysis.

BRL recommended that mapping completed by previous explorers should be reviewed prior to conducting a comprehensive skarn-mapping and rock-chip sampling campaign of the Morrissey Metamorphics. BRL also recommended that a review of historical resource development at The Hill base metal prospect (Mt Murray) should be made and deposit modelling attempted from historical drill data to ascertain the remaining potential.

At Whiskey Pool an extensive area of prospective quartz-feldspar-tourmaline pegmatites were delineated along a creek, near the Ashburton River crossing. The outcropping pegmatites, gneisses and quartz veins in the area around the Old Low’s working were tested for a wide range of elements using a hand-held XRF instrument. High concentrations of tungsten were determined in the wolfram-bearing quartz vein materials stockpiled near the pit.

2.6 Exploration Potential

Previous exploration at the Gascoyne Project has shown that the area is endowed with significant tungsten mineralisation distributed over a number of prospects. The main prospects are associated with cupolas underlain by Kilba Granite, and mineralisation is hosted within calcareous or calc-silicate rocks. In each case, the recognised mineralisation is in an area of exposure. No significant exploration has been undertaken in areas of cover, despite the regional gravity data showing that the majority of the surrounding area is underlain by granitoid, and therefore prospective for skarn alteration and associated mineralisation.

At Kilba Well, exploration at Zone 11 shows that scheelite mineralisation can be detected over significant strike lengths and persists to depth. The continuity of mineralisation within skarn units appears to be low, however drilling is generally wide spaced and restricted to areas of exposed skarn. Although the drilling has shown the presence of multiple zones of significant tungsten mineralisation, the extensions to this horizon beneath alluvial cover to the east (towards Zone 8), and to the north and northeast (towards Zone 12), have not been adequately assessed. These extensions provide up to 12km of strike around the margin of the Kilba Granite stock that is only sporadically explored.

Based on diamond drilling, costeaning and geological mapping an exploration target at Kilba Well for Zone 11 has been identified within the range of 0.7Mt – 1.4Mt with a grade of between 2 0.5 and 0.9% WO . 3

A number of the surrounding zones (eg. Zones 9 and 10) have good potential to be rapidly brought to the Mineral Resource estimation stage. Additionally, Figure 3 shows the projected continuation of mineralisation which highlights further exploration targets that could reasonably be expected to generate additional zones worthy of evaluation.

The mineralisation at Love’s Find is significant for the Project, given the presence of powellite, reflecting the different nature of mineralisation from that at Kilba Well. At Love’s Find (as is the case at the King Island and Attunga Deposits), powellite is present as well as scheelite. Powellite forms an incomplete series with scheelite, whereby molybdenum has been progressively substituted for tungsten, although some tungsten is usually found in powellite. Powellite is generally of a finer grain size and more uniformly dispersed through the skarn, resulting in a low variance in the assay data and consistent grades over intervals of several metres. Love’s Find has only been subject to reconnaissance-level exploration, with surface sampling demonstrating significant tungsten values. No drilling has been completed. Additionally, the identification of high-grade wolframite mineralisation at Whiskey Pool further highlights the potential for the discovery of new tungsten pegmatite or greisentype deposits in the region.

Figure 6 shows the regional gravity draped over magnetics, showing that the entire Project is underlain by, or proximal to, granitoid. This is indicated by mid-blue to strong blue tones on the image. The surface exposure of granitoid as mapped by the Geological Survey of Western Australia is also shown.

The Gascoyne Project represents a significant exploration opportunity for Tungsten Mining. The Kilba Well Zone 11 area warrants immediate drill testing to confirm the continuity of mineralisation and enable the calculation of a JORC compliant Mineral Resource. The application of geophysical techniques, such as detailed gravity and electrical methods, may provide a more detailed understanding of the distribution of granite contacts, including the recognition of buried cupolas, and provide new targets for exploration.

2 The JORC Exploration Target has been subjected to diamond drill testing, costeaning and geological mapping by ANZECO. The potential quantity and grade of the exploration target is conceptual in nature, and should not be construed as indicating the existence of a JORC compliant Mineral Resource. There is insufficient information to define a JORC Mineral Resource, and it is uncertain if further development and interpretation will result in the determination of a JORC Mineral Resource.

Tungsten Mining proposes to commence its initial exploration with a drilling campaign at Zone 11, Kilba Well.

The Year 2 program will focus on the delineation of further Mineral Resources at Kilba Well (eg. Zones 8, 9 and 12). Additional drilling will also be completed on priority targets identified from the Year 1 campaign. Metallurgical testwork will commence on Zone 11, utilising diamond core from the previous year. Continuation of mining engineering and design studies.

A combination of reverse circulation (“RC”) drilling and diamond drilling will be completed to enable the calculation of a JORC compliant Mineral Resource to an Inferred or Indicated category.

Geological mapping will be completed at the remainder of the Kilba Well targets (Zones 8, 9, 10 and 12), followed by wide spaced RC drilling to confirm mineralisation continuity along strike and at depth.

Further geophysical work will be completed to enable broad scale regional exploration over the entire corridor held by Tungsten Mining.

Detailed geological mapping of skarn horizons, particularly at Love’s Find, and orientation geophysical surveys will be completed to identify further targets. Rotary air blast (“RAB”) and RC drilling of targets generated from this work is planned to commence during Year 1. Mining engineering and processing studies will commence to provide the solid basis for the definitive feasibility studies.

A budget of $2,568,000 (or $3,319,000 should the raising reach its maximum $3,000,000 in over-subscriptions) is proposed by Tungsten Mining for the initial two years of exploration, which is considered to be valid and consistent with the mineral potential and status of the Gascoyne Project. The expenditure exceeds the minimum statutory expenditure requirements of the tenements.

3.1 Introduction

3.3 Mosquito Creek Project Geology

The Project is centred on the Mosquito Creek Tungsten Field (also referred to as the Hill of Leaders workings). Local geology is dominated by the Hill of Leaders Granite which is the host for the tungsten mineralisation, dominantly occurring as scheelite. It occurs in the same geological environment as the Wauchope Tungsten Field, some 48km to the southwest.

The tenement area is located along the eastern margin of the Tennant Creek Inlier. This is an intensely folded, early Proterozoic intra-cratonic basin succession of mainly sedimentary and minor felsic volcanic rocks, intruded by younger granitoids. The Tennant Creek Inlier forms a north-northwesterly trending belt some 700km in length, centred on the town of Tennant Creek and comprises Palaeoproterozoic sediments of the Warramunga Group, the Hatches Group and the Tomkinson Creek Beds.

The Mosquito Creek Tungsten Field was discovered in 1951 and abandoned in 1956 after producing 2.5t of WO3 concentrate from 150t of ore. The mine workings comprise shallow trenches and costeans, usually less than 2m deep, although the deepest shaft reached 28m in the main vein.

The Warramunga Group, which contains all the economically viable deposits currently mined in the Tennant Creek region, consists of a sequence of argillaceous sedimentary rocks, including siliceous greywacke, siltstone and shale. Quartz-feldspar porphyry lenses occur as both crosscutting and conformable units within the sedimentary sequences. The Warramunga Group has been the subject of at least three deformational episodes.

A recent air core drill program has shown that anomalous tungsten values extend for several hundred metres southeast of the main Hill of Leaders workings. Elsewhere within the Project anomalous tungsten grades in weathered bedrock were located up to 4.5km northwesterly and 10km south-easterly, respectively, from the Hill of Leaders. Termite mound and rock chip sampling has also shown to have potential for pathfinder geochemistry. Ultraviolet night lamping has located evidence of scheelite mineralisation away from the historic mines in the Hill of Leaders area.

Apart from the southwestern part of the Project, which is centred on the Kurundi Anticline, the bedrock geology is largely masked by Quaternary soil cover. Based on regional mapping, regional aeromagnetic data and limited outcrop, the Northern Territory Geological Survey (“NTGS”) has interpreted the presence of a southeast extension of the Tennant Creek Warramunga Group into the Bonney Well and Frew River areas. This rock sequence presents a primary exploration target.

3.2 Location, Access and Tenure

The Mosquito Creek Project is located 90km southeast of Tennant Creek in the Northern Territory.

Access from Tennant Creek is 80km south via the Stuart Highway, then some 70km east to the Kurundi Station homestead by way of the main station access road. Access within the tenement is via mine roads and well-maintained tracks.

Tungsten mineralisation, as both wolframite and scheelite, occurs at several locations regionally. At the Mosquito Creek deposits the tungsten mineralisation is associated with poorly exposed greisen and quartz veins in the topographic “shadows” of outcrops of unaltered granite. From NTGS regional mapping and airborne geophysical surveys, there are extensive areas of granitic bedrock masked by comparatively thin Quaternary deposits.

The Project comprises three contiguous Exploration Licences, covering an area of approximately of 277km[2] . The registered holders of the tenements are Northern Minerals Limited and Tungsten West as outlined in Table 5.

The Project has a current expenditure commitment of $148,000 per reporting year.

3.4 Exploration History

Prior to 1993, mining activity was restricted to prospecting and mining for tungsten at Hatches Creek, Wauchope, Mosquito Creek and other, smaller mines within and around the tenement are Mosquito Creek Project. Gold was mined at the Power of Wealth and Great Davenport mines, as well as a number of smaller workings.

In 1993, Normandy Gold Limited (“Normandy”) acquired EL8346, which covered the southwestern potion of Tungsten Mining’s EL23937. Normandy completed a program of aeromagnetic structural interpretation, lineament interpretation on 1:80,000 scale aerial photography, and regional reconnaissance rockchip sampling. Goldmineralised quartz veins were reported.

At the same time, Eden Creek Pty Ltd carried out an extensive program of gridding, ground magnetic surveys, soil and vacuum bedrock geochemical surveys, rock sampling and geological mapping. It was concluded that the licence covered areas of Proterozoic-aged Warramunga Formation or its lateral equivalents. These units are considered prospective for gold-copper-bismuth and/or base metals mineralisation.

In 1994-95, North Star Resources NL (“North Star”) explored EL8388, located in the northwestern corner of the Frew River 1:250,000 (SF 53-3) sheet, covering part of EL23937. North Star reports that their exploration comprised preliminary identification and ground follow-up of magnetic targets based on Tennant Creek style gold and copper deposits.

At Tennant Creek, gold occurs with iron and copper sulphides in magnetite or hematite-rich lodes with or without quartz. The mineralised zones are hosted with chlorite alteration envelopes in shears within Warramunga Group sedimentary rocks. This distribution suggests an association with major regional scale structures. North Star’s exploration generated 10 target areas, of which five warranted more detailed investigation and RAB drilling.

In 2004, Washington Resources Limited (“WRL”) acquired EL23927, and completed a literature search and compiled all available open file data on the tenement. The basis for their acquisition of EL23937 was the known gold

mineralisation near the Kurundi and Power of Wealth mines. Due to their location within the Kurundi anticlinal structure and the presence of favourable Warramunga Group host rocks inferred from interpretation of NTGS airborne geophysical surveys, these mineralised areas provide prime exploration targets.

Past and ongoing exploration has confirmed that Warramunga Group rock sequences are the chief hosts for economic mineralisation in the Tennant Creek region. This style provides the preferred exploration model for the project area.

In early 2007, GPX Airborne Pty Ltd was contracted by WRL to complete a combined aeromagnetic and radiometric survey over the EL. Flight lines were between those of the earlier NTGS survey and when combined, the data from the two surveys provided detailed information of the bedrock.

On-ground work completed included rock chip (179 samples) and termite mound sampling (pilot study), a hand-held scintillometer survey and a campaign of shallow air core drilling. A night ultraviolet lamp survey was also completed around the Hill of Leaders workings.

The air core program consisted of 171 holes for 1,736m, and was aimed at targeting mineralisation in haloes surrounding the highgrade, historic mine workings. The drilling was restricted to the western parts of the Licence area due to heavy rains. At the Hill of Leaders scheelite and wolframite prospect, drilling located tungsten mineralisation beneath alluvium up to several hundred metres from the historic mines. From the 1,736 samples, 23 samples assayed greater than 500ppm W. Elsewhere within the Licence the drilling located anomalous tungsten grades in weathered bedrock 4km north-westerly and 10km south-easterly from the Hill of Leaders workings (Burger, 2008).

The encouraging air core program led to the planning of deeper reverse circulation drilling circa the Hill of Leaders workings and further reconnaissance air core drilling. This work was not completed due to WRL’s focus changing to magnetite projects in South Africa.

3.5 Exploration Potential

The Mosquito Creek Project, which is largely unexplored, is understood to contain favourable host rocks of the Warramunga Group, which, at Tennant Creek, hosts both precious and base metal mineralisation.

The aircore drilling completed by WRL showed that anomalous tungsten values in weathered bedrock extend for a strike extent of 14.5km. These results are encouraging in view of the limited coverage of the aircore program and the fact that holes were drilled to blade refusal and did not penetrate primary mineralisation.

Reverse circulation drilling is warranted at the Hill of Leaders prospect to determine the potential for tungsten mineralisation in fresh bedrock. The objective should be to identify primary sources of tungsten mineralisation whilst endeavouring to quantify the extent of shallow alluvial mineralisation shed from the main workings and amenable to low cost recovery.

3.6 Mosquito Creek Proposed Exploration and Budget

Tungsten Mining has proposed an exploration program and budget for the first two years of

exploration at the Mosquito Creek Project upon listing on the ASX.

The proposed program of exploration will include the research of all available aeromagnetic data, with subsequent detailed follow-up ground and airborne surveys designed to identify favourable Warramunga Group host rocks with Tungsten Mining’s Project.

Termite mound geochemistry is a valid exploration tool and coupled with pathfinder geochemistry should be extended to cover any untested areas of the host granite. Anomalous zones should be targeted initially with air core drilling.

The Year 2 program will focus on reverse circulation at the Hill of Leaders prospect as well as targets identified during the previous year.

A budget of $301,000 (or $589,000 should the raising reach its maximum $3M in oversubscriptions) is proposed by Tungsten Mining for the initial two years of exploration, which is considered to be valid and consistent with the mineral potential and status of the Mosquito Creek Project. The expenditure exceeds the minimum statutory expenditure requirements of the tenements.

4.2 Location, Access and Tenure

The Koolyanobbing Project is located 45km northeast of Southern Cross and spans a distance of 70km; 20km to the northwest and 50km to the southeast of the town site of Koolyanobbing.

Access is initially via the Great Eastern Highway. Access to the northern and central tenements is then via the predominately sealed Koolyanobbing-Southern Cross Road. From Koolyanobbing various roads and tracks may be utilised to access the tenements. The southern tenements can be accessed via the Marvel LochYellowdine Road.

4.0 Koolyanobbing Project

The Perth-Kalgoorlie public access railway line bisects the project area, with the nearest rail siding located at Koolyanobbing.

4.1 Introduction

Tungsten Mining’s Koolyanobbing Project is situated in the Koolyanobbing greenstone belt located within the Archaean Yilgarn Craton of Western Australia. The project is located 45km northeast of Southern Cross, adjacent to the township of Koolyanobbing. The Project comprises nine Exploration Licences and six Exploration Licence Applications.

The Koolyanobbing Project comprises nine Exploration Licences and six Exploration Licence Applications, covering an area of approximately 460km[2] . Tungsten West is the current registered holder of all tenements, as shown in Table 7.

Tungsten Mining has 100% interest in all tenements. The Project has a current expenditure commitment of $145,000 per reporting year.

The northern group of tenements includes the Lake Seabrook Tungsten Prospect where Barrier Exploration NL (“Barrier”) first discovered scheelite-fluorite mineralisation in the 1970’s. Scheelite mineralisation has been traced over a strike length of more than 5km.

Barrier identified several zones of mineralisation with scheelite content up to 5.55% WO3. A number of samples were collected from a trench across a biotite schist and averaged 4.0% CaF and 0.18% WO . Detrital 2 3 scheelite is present in considerable amounts in soil surrounding the high grade shoots.

Preliminary metallurgical testing was carried out on a selected bulk sample collected from the trenches. The head assay of the composite sample was 2.56% WO3. From this work, Barrier concluded that it was possible to recover a concentrate having a grade of 65% WO3, at a recovery of between 70 and 80%.

4.3 Koolyanobbing Project Geology

The Koolyanobbing Project lies in the central part of the Yilgarn Block, and is entirely underlain by Archaean granitoid and greenstone. The general stratigraphy of the Southern Cross Province has been outlined by Griffin (1990) who suggests the greenstones consist of an upper and a lower sequence, separated by a major unconformity. The lower sequence contains a quartzite unit at the base, which is overlain by dominantly mafic and ultramafic volcanics. Clastic sedimentary rocks (with minor felsic volcanics) occur at the top of this lower sequence. The upper sequence consists of clastic sedimentary rocks (Diemals Formation) and felsic volcanic rocks (Marda Complex) which unconformably overlies the mafic dominated lower sequence.

The Koolyanobbing greenstone belt is a small in-folded, arcuate, and strongly elongate in a NNW trending direction, it is about 48km long and 8km wide. The belt is bound to the northeast by granitoid and to the southwest by the Ghooli Dome. A mylonite zone up to 6km wide follows the southwestern boundary with the greenstones defining part of the Koolyanobbing Shear Zone.

The Koolyanobbing Shear Zone is a crustal-scale feature that extends from Koolyanobbing to the southeast, forming the north-eastern margin of the Lake Johnston greenstone belt and then joins onto the Jerdacuttup Fault. It extends northwest past the Marda greenstone belt where it is interpreted to continue as the Youanmi Fault near Sandstone giving it a total length of nearly 650km.

The Koolyanobbing greenstone belt consists of amphibolite, variably altered ultramafic rocks, chert, banded iron-formation, and minor pelitic and psammitic assemblages. Mineralogy indicates that the rocks were metamorphosed to amphibolite facies with subordinate greenschistfacies assemblages. Lateritised banded ironformation dominates the outcrop, occurring along two ridges extending through the belt.

Known gold mineralisation within the belt is minimal and documentation is sparse. There are a number of small pits and shafts located along banded iron-formation ridges generally associated with quartz veins. The total production from the Koolyanobbing Mining Centre was 1734.4 t for 27.50 kg Au from 1905 to 1938 (Dept of Mines WA, 1954). The largest set of workings in the district is Chadwicks Reward, located 7km southeast of the Koolyanobbing town site, which was mined between 1934 and 1938. Chadwicks Reward produced 1012 t for 15.58 kg of recovered gold. Mineralisation is

associated with quartz veins and stockworks intruding dacite, tuffaceous sediments and basic rocks.

The banded iron formations within the greenstone belt are host to several iron ore deposits that are currently being mined by Cliffs Natural Resources Pty Ltd.

  • 4.3.1 Local Geology - Lake Seabrook Tungsten Prospect

The Lake Seabrook Tungsten Prospect lies along a northwest trending contact between gneiss and a sequence of volcanics commencing with basic to ultrabasic amphibolite grading easterly through intermediate to acid flows and tuff, with thin beds of black shale, quartzite and jaspilite, to banded iron formation of the Koolyanobbing Range. This sequence dips between 50 and 70 degrees easterly (Morton, 1976).

Aerial photography indicates a trough cutting across granite and gneiss in a northerly direction and a projection of this structure coincides with a displacement of slightly less than half a kilometre in the Koolyanobbing Range. No field evidence, other than offsetting of the range, has been observed, thus the presence of a crush zone or similar zone of disturbance is partly postulated.

At the point where the postulated crush zone intersects the contact between gneiss and amphibolite, a vein of quartz about 1.6km long and 100m wide has been emplaced. Smaller quartz veins occur to the north and south along the contact between the gneiss and amphibolite.

Magnetic data indicates that the more basic amphibolite thickens gradually from north to south for a distance of 3500m, narrowing abruptly at about 10,800N (local grid established by Barrier). The presence of thickening within a thin jaspilite bed that extends for a portion of the magnetic high may be due to a large drag fold. This is supported by considerable drag folding in talc and biotite schist near the gneiss contact (between 10,000N and 10,800N). Faulting consistent with forces necessary to produce this drag folding may be present around 13,000N where a section of the quartz vein appears to have been displaced by faulting.

Scheelite is the most common mineral present and has been observed in several rock types over a length of more than 5km and up to 350m east of gneiss contact. Fluorite is present with scheelite in biotite schist for several hundred metres south from about 10100N and copper occurs in small sporadic patches in quartz over a distance of about 4000m south from this same area.

Section 6 Independent Geologist’s Report

The most significant scheelite mineralisation occurs in Zones 1-5 (as shown in Morton, 1976). Scheelite in Zones 1-4 is associated with major replacement quartz, less feldspar and minor epidote and sphene, and scheelite content is up to 5.55% WO3. A composite sample from the best mineralised shoots from Zones 1-4 assayed 2.56% WO3. Zone 5 consists of fluorite-scheelite

mineralisation in biotite schist with minor quartz and feldspar. A number of samples taken across biotite schist in one trench averaged 5.0% CaF2 and 0.18% WO3. These samples represent the best results from a series of lower grade values. The average value is not known and they should not be taken to represent the average grade of the samples unless otherwise stated.

4.4 Exploration History

There has been a considerable amount of exploration for a variety of commodities within the Koolyanobbing greenstone belt. The area has been explored for gold since late last century and for iron ore and base metals (predominantly nickel and copper in the ultramafic rocks) since the 1960s.

Scheelite occurrences were first noted in the area by Barrier Exploration NL (“Barrier”) at their Lake Seabrook Project during 1975. The Lake Seabrook prospect was originally pegged by JL, LM and AC Morton during 1967, under a Prospecting Agreement with Metals Exploration NL (“Metals Ex”). During 1968 a Joint Venture was formed in which Freeport of Australia Incorporated (“Freeport”) and Barrier joined with Metals Ex and the Mortons to explore the project.

Metals Ex, being the Manager of the Joint Venture, carried out surface geological mapping and induced polarisation and completed two diamond drill holes. Metals Ex and Freeport at this stage withdrew from the Joint Venture and Barrier became manager.

Further work, comprising geological mapping, augering, induced polarisation and diamond drilling, was carried out. Most of this work was carried out in areas considered favourable for the occurrence of base metals and gold.

Another zone within the Koolyanobbing Project showing some fluorite and copper mineralisation, and with characteristics typical of acid pneumatolytic origin, was geologically mapped and some induced polarisation was carried out.

Early in 1975, Barrier decided to further evaluate this zone characterised by acid pneumatolytic type mineralisation, primarily due to the presence of beryl and topaz. Samples were taken and spectroscopic scans performed which indicated elevated values of tungsten. Examination of the area with short wave and long wave ultra-violet light showed widespread occurrences of scheelite in the shear, soil and also in narrow skarnlike veins adjacent to the shear. A program of trenching along the length of the exposed shear, sampling and logging by ultra-violet lamps was completed.

The scheelite mineralisation was deemed to be widespread within the sheared and chloritised ultrabasic which was trenched over a length in excess of 3km. The shear zone is noted to be a maximum of about 25m in width.

During 1976, a composite sample was selected from the best scheelite mineralised shoots in Zones 1-4 for laboratory scale metallurgical tests for separation of a saleable concentrate. Test

work was completed at Kalgoorlie Metallurgical Laboratories and supervised by metallurgical consultants Smith and Sivyer (Morton, 1976).

The head grade of the sample assayed 2.56% WO3. It is important to appreciate that this is deemed a high grade sample and that the results obtained with this sample may not be achieved at lower grades.

Heavy Media Separation (“HMS”) testing established that it would not be possible to reject a substantial fraction of the sample as a finished tailing prior to grinding, by HMS. Neither jigging nor tabling could produce a finished tailing, but both processes could produce concentrates which, after magnetic separation, assayed more than 65% WO3. Recovery at this grade by a combination of all three processes was about 50%. A relatively simple flotation procedure, followed by magnetic concentration of the flotation concentrate, was capable of producing a concentrate assaying 62.4% WO3 at a recovery of 77.6%.

The best recovery and concentrate grade was achieved by a rather complex combination of jigging, tabling, flotation and magnetic concentration, a concentrate grade of 64.9% WO3 was achieved at 79.6% recovery. Smith and Sivyer concluded that it was reasonable to assume that a combined concentrate exceeding 65% WO3 could be produced from this sample with the recovery of between 70 to 80% by a combination of jigging, tabling, flotation and magnetic separation. However, this sequence was deemed complex and would be difficult and costly to duplicate and operate on a large scale.

Smith and Sivyer considered that it would be highly probable to dispense with tabling and that it may be possible to eliminate magnetic concentration. Further metallurgical investigations were recommended to eliminate both tabling and magnetic separation, as well as the completion of optimisation tests in jigging and flotation, with particular emphasis on reagents in the latter.

Due to limited resources and the unsuccessful securing of a joint venture partner, further work was not completed on the prospect.

As a consequence of the discovery of tungsten mineralisation at Barrier’s Lake Seabrook Prospect, during 1975 Jimberlana Minerals NL (“Jimberlana”) pegged the extension of the rocks to the south of Barrier’s prospect, across and to the south of Lake Seabrook. Subsequent prospecting of the area revealed several skarnlike veins and some trenching was carried out on these. Geological mapping to outline all existing skarn and quartz veins and ultraviolet prospecting of the veins was recommended, however no further work is documented (Morton, 1975b).

4.5 Exploration Potential

An immediate target for Tungsten Mining to evaluate is the postulated crush zone identified by Barrier (Morton, 1975a). Barrier deemed the narrow high-grade but sub-economic veins of scheelite mineralisation assessed at the Lake Seabrook Prospect to be characteristic of satellite bodies surrounding major deposits. They summarised that a target exists for the occurrence of a scheelite deposit at the intersection of the postulated crush zone and the sheared ultrabasic and within the sheared ultrabasic, to the north of the postulated crush zone.

The reasons behind Barrier’s opinion are that the occurrence of scheelite appears to be related to the amount of contortion of the sheared ultrabasic and it would be reasonable to expect that the amount of contortion would be the greatest where the shear in the ultrabasic intersects the crush zone. Mineralisation falling off progressively south from the postulated crush zone and an apparent bulging of the granite north of the postulated crush zone may indicate more movement in this area and also may indicate the source of the mineralisation.

  • 4.6 Koolyanobbing Proposed Exploration and Budget

Tungsten Mining has proposed an exploration program and budget for the first two years of exploration at the Koolyanobbing Project upon listing on the ASX.

The proposed program of exploration will include the research of all available aeromagnetic data, with subsequent detailed follow-up ground surveys designed to delineate the postulated crush zone. Reverse circulation drilling of the postulated crush zone target will commence during Year 1.

The Year 2 program will focus on the regional prospectivity, with geological mapping and pathfinder geochemistry employed to identify targets. Anomalous zones will be targeted initially with air core drilling.

A budget of $176,000 (or $319,000 should the raising reach its maximum $3M in oversubscriptions) is proposed by Tungsten Mining for the initial two years of exploration, which is considered to be valid and consistent with the mineral potential and status of the Koolyanobbing Project. The expenditure exceeds the minimum statutory expenditure requirements of the tenements.

5.0 Callie Soak Project

5.1 Introduction

The Callie Soak tungsten deposits are located about 11km northwest of the abandoned Big Bell Mining Centre, 40km west-northwest of the town of Cue in the Murchison region of Western Australia. The deposits were actively mined during the period around WWI. Between 1913 and 1916 production from sundry claims in the area produced 25t of concentrate containing 1.47t of WO . 3

The Callie Soak Project comprises one Exploration Licence and one Exploration Licence Application. The Project is operated by Tungsten Australia Pty Ltd with Tungsten Mining having a 20% free carried interest to the completion of a feasibility study.

The Callie Soak deposits occur towards the top of a porphyritic granite dome. Late stage quartz-rich pegmatites have intruded the granite and appear to have introduced tungsten mineralisation. Martin’s Lode and New Lode are within a quartzmagnetite host rock intruded by numerous small quartz veins parallel to quartz-rich pegmatite. The Bald Hill Lode is a quartz-rich pegmatite intruding quartz-epidote and biotite granite. Wolframite is the most common mineral, although local concentrations of scheelite are known.

Historical drill data has indicated potential to increase the deposit size of Martin’s Lode, particularly in the northern down dip direction.

5.3 Callie Soak Geology

5.2 Location, Access and Tenure

The Project lies within the Murchison Province of the Yilgarn Block, a large Archaean gneissgranitoid-greenstone craton. The greenstone belts of the Murchison Province trend northnorthwest (in the southwest) to north-northeast (in the northeast) and are surrounded by extensive granitoid intrusions which contain enclaves of banded gneiss (Watkins et al., 1987).

The Callie Soak tungsten deposit is located 40km west-northwest of the town of Cue in the Murchison region of Western Australia, approximately 11km northwest of the abandoned Big Bell Mining Centre.

The principal access to the project area is from Cue via the Cuddingwarra and Big Bell Mining Centres and then via the unsealed Noondie– Coodardy Road.

The Callie Soak tenement covers an area containing dominantly Archaean porphyritic biotite granite, with some granodiorite. Within the tenement area are the Callie Soak tungsten prospects which include the Bald Hill Lode, Martin’s Lode and New Lode. Wright (1972) details the geology of the tungsten occurrences in the tenement.

The Callie Soak Project comprises one Exploration Licence and one Exploration Licence Application, covering an area of approximately 107km[2] . The current registered holders of the tenements are Tungsten Australia Pty Ltd and Richmond Resources Pty Ltd (80:20 share) for E20/0669 and Tungsten West is the holder of E20/0812. Tungsten Mining has acquired 100% of Richmond Resources Pty Ltd share in the Project. Tungsten Australia Pty Ltd is currently managing the Project with Tungsten Mining having a 20% free carried interest to the completion of a feasibility study.

The largest known prospect is Martin’s Lode, an oval shaped orebody which has a reported length of 85m, trending northeast, and is up to 36.5m wide. The wolframite and minor scheelite bearing quartz veinlets are hosted in lensoid shaped quartz-biotite-topaz greisen zones, within steeply dipping shears in porphyritic granite to granite gneiss.

The Project has a current expenditure commitment of $30,000 per reporting year.

Scheelite and wolframite have been mined from the Callie Soak tungsten prospects. Baxter (1978) records production totalling 14.16t of contained WO3 (refer Table 10), and states that the deposits occur in quartz-rich pegmatite and quartz-magnetite-biotite rock in an area of granite, aplite, pegmatite, and granitic differentiates.

5.4 Exploration History

Tungsten was first discovered in the area in 1908 and briefly inspected by Woodward in 1914. Selective sampling of the Martin’s Lode outcrop was completed in 1942 by Dr. F.A. Moss (Mann & Moss, 1942). Matheson (1944) visited the area in 1943 and described Martin’s Lode, Bald Hill Lode and “other lodes”.

Most of the early tungsten extraction from the Callie Soak area was from the Bald Hill deposit (refer Table 10).

Anglo-Westralian Mining Pty Ltd (“AngloWestralian”) cut three trenches across Martin’s Lode in 1949 and channel-sampled over a full width of each trench (Wright, 1972). The average grade was about 0.35% WO3 as determined by the W.A. Government Chemical Laboratory. Anglo-Westralian surrendered the claims, presumably because of the then low price of tungsten concentrate (Forman, 1951a).

Western Minerals Syndicate of Perth held Mineral Claims (MC37-39) over the tungsten bearing outcrops from 1950. The trenches cut by

Anglo-Westralian (situated on MC38) were chip sampled by G.G. Forman (consulting geologist) during October 1950, and indicated a weighted average of 0.32% WO3 over an average width of 27.1m.

During 1950, Forman also collected a grab sample from a sorting floor adjacent to old workings on MC37 and two grab samples from ore dumps adjacent to shallow trenches. The samples returned grades of 0.51%, 0.05% and 0.38% WO3 respectively. A grab sample was also collected from MC39 from the rejects on the sorting floor and this returned 0.49% WO3. The workings within this Mineral Claim were deemed to be inaccessible but inspections suggested that past operation were of a highly selective type (Forman, 1950).

Forman supervised the breaking and treatment of three bulk samples from the sides of the trenches during 1951. The bulk sampling indicated a weighted average grade (recovered plus tails) of 0.32% WO3 from a total of 363 tonnes of ore, treated by the State Battery in Cue (Forman, 1951b).

Section 6 Independent Geologist’s Report

A limited program of percussion and diamond drilling was completed at Martin’s Lode in April 1969 for Carr Boyd Minerals Ltd by Geotechnics (Aust) Pty Ltd (Ward, 1969). Eight percussion holes were completed for a total of 240m. Drilling was carried out with an air-track percussion drill and samples were collected at 1.5m intervals. The samples were assayed for tungsten, tantalum and niobium. A small number were also assayed for gold and tin. Five drillholes intersected tungsten from the surface and were still within tungsten mineralisation when completed (~30m).

Four diamond core holes (DDH1-4) were completed for a total of 161m. One of the diamond holes (DDH-4) was angled and drilled beneath the vertical holes, this hole showed tungsten mineralisation continuing with depth (Figure 10). Significant intercepts are shown in Table 11.

Samin Ltd (“Samin”) purchased the Mineral Claims (MC 37-39) over Callie Soak during 1969 and applied for two additional Mineral Claims (MC527 & MC528) which surrounded the Mineral Claim covering Martin’s Lode. Early in 1970 the remaining material from diamond drillholes (DDH-1 to 4) was obtained and sent to Amdel Laboratories (“Amdel”) for test work.

Samin extracted 5.9 tonnes in July 1970 from surface material within the trenches at Martin’s Lode and this was sent to Amdel for testing. The test work showed that, by means of table concentration, magnetic separation and

floatation, a final concentrate assaying 68.5% WO3 could be obtained (Wright, 1972). In MayJune 1970 Samin drilled two diamond holes (DDH SC5 and 6) angled beneath Martin’s Lode (MC 38). The core was halved by diamond saw and assayed by Amdel in Adelaide. No significant assays were returned.

A pit design and feasibility study was completed to both 30.5m and 61m depths by Davis Contractors (Sydney) in February 1970 for Samin. A considerable amount of metallurgical and recovery data is available (Wright, 1972). Samin sought Joint Venture partners to develop Martin’s Lode, and had an agreement with ACM NL. By the end of 1975, ACM NL had withdrawn from the JV with Samin (Randell, 1975) and no further work was completed (Roberts, 1976).

In 1985 Riverina Gold Mines NL held Exploration Licence E20/0260, with their interest primarily in tantalum mineralisation (Ruane, 1996). Seven samples were collected around old workings from Martin’s Lode (MC38) and three samples (73067308) from MC25 (located approximately 200m southwest of the Martin’s Lode main workings). The Martin’s Lode samples show slightly higher gold and higher tungsten values than MC25, with an average 7.4ppb Au and 2533ppm W compared with 1ppb Au and 920 ppm W respectfully. All samples showed Ta values below 28 ppm, and it was concluded that the newer analytical techniques revealed an over estimation in the Ta analyses completed in 1969. It was noted in the report by Roberts (1971) that the Ta values from the percussion holes could not be confirmed in the diamond core.

New Standard Energy Limited (“New Standard Energy”) entered into a Joint Venture with Richmond Resources during 2010. Exploration focused on a literature search and a review of historical data. Historical data was digitised and converted to metric units. An orientation field trip was completed to examine tenement access and to collect background base level samples for multi-element analysis.

Examination of the tungsten mineralisation at Martin’s Lode revealed that the potential exists for additional mineralisation down plunge to the northeast. New Standard Energy also stated that other small deposits in the tenement should be examined to determine if they could contribute tonnages to a small mining operation.

The Directors Tungsten Mining NL Suite 3, 23 Belgravia Street BELMONT WA 6104

Dear Sirs

Investigating Accountant’s Report

1. Introduction

The Directors of Tungsten Mining NL (“Company”) and controlled entity (“Tungsten Mining” or the “Group”) have requested Somes Cooke Chartered Accountants (“Somes Cooke”) to prepare an Investigating Accountant’s Report (“Report”) for inclusion in a prospectus to be dated on or around 2 October 2012, relating to:

  • The issue of 25,000,000 (Full Subscription) or up to 40,000,000 (Full Over-Subscription) shares at 20 cents per share pursuant to this Prospectus; and

  • The issue of shares and cash payments for the acquisition of SM3-W Pty Ltd and Northern Mineral Mosquito Creek mineral interest rights (“DMRs”).

Further details of the above and associated transactions are listed in Note 2 of Appendix 2, of this Report.

All amounts stated in this report are in Australian Dollars unless otherwise indicated. All the terms used in this Report have the same meaning as the terms used and defined in the Prospectus unless otherwise defined in this Report.

2. Basis of Preparation

This Report has been prepared to provide investors with information on the historical assets and liabilities of Tungsten Mining as at 31 May 2012 and the pro-forma assets and liabilities of Tungsten Mining, assuming that the transactions detailed in Note 2 of Appendix 2 had occurred at 31 May 2012.

This Report does not address the rights attaching to the securities to be issued in accordance with the Prospectus, nor the risks associated with the investment. We have not been requested to consider the prospects for Tungsten Mining, the securities on offer and related pricing issues, nor the merits and risks associated with becoming a shareholder and accordingly, have not done so, nor do we purport to do so. We accordingly, take no responsibility for those matters or any other matter or omission in the Prospectus, other than the responsibility for this Report. The risk factors are set out elsewhere in the prospectus.

Liability limited by a scheme approved under Professional Standards Legislation An independent member of KS International

Section 7 Investigating Accountant’s Report

3. Background

The Company is an Australian company incorporated on 13 July 2011, with the primary purpose of investing in exploration tenements prospective for tungsten and molybdenum, through direct tenement acquisition and new project generation.

The Company has acquired 100% of BRL Exploration Pty Ltd, which holds tenements prospective for tungsten, and information relating to the Koolyanobbing and Lake Seabrook projects.

Since incorporation, the only other activities undertaken by the Company have been the raising of seed capital and preparation for the proposed ASX listing.

4. Financial Information

The Historical Financial Information comprises the reviewed Statement of Financial Position as at 31 May 2012 and the Statement of Comprehensive Income of Tungsten Mining for the period ended on that date together with accompanying notes.

The Pro-Forma Financial Information comprises the reviewed Statement of Financial Position as at 31 May 2012 together with accompanying notes assuming completion of the Pro-Forma transactions and events detailed in Note 2 of Appendix 2 had they taken place at 31 May 2012.

5. Scope of Review

You have requested Somes Cooke to review the Financial Information set out in the Appendices in order to report whether anything has come to our attention which would cause us to believe the Financial Information does not present fairly the financial position of Tungsten Mining at 31 May 2012 and the financial performance of Tungsten Mining for the period ended 31 May 2012 is in accordance with recognition and measurement requirements, principles of Australian Accounting Standards and other mandatory professional reporting requirements in Australia and the accounting policies adopted by Tungsten Mining. The scope of the review does not include a report on whether all disclosure requirements of the Australian Accounting Standards and other mandatory professional reporting requirements in Australia have been included.

Our review has been conducted in accordance with ASRE 2405 “Review of Historical Financial Information Other Than a Financial Report”. Our review was limited to enquiries of Tungsten Mining Key Management Personnel, review of Director’s minutes, review of material documents, analytical procedures, limited verification procedures and comparisons for consistency with Australian Accounting Standards.

These procedures do not provide all the evidence that would be required in an audit, thus the level of assurance provided is less than that given in an audit report. For the purposes of this Report, we have not performed an audit and accordingly do not express an audit opinion on the Financial Information.

6. Responsibility for the Financial Information

The directors of Tungsten Mining are responsible for the preparation and presentation of the historical and Pro-Forma Financial Information, including the determination of the Pro-Forma transactions. We have however examined the financial statements and other relevant information and made such enquiries, as we considered necessary for the purposes of this Report. The scope of our examination was substantially less than an audit examination conducted in accordance with Australian Auditing Standards and accordingly, we do not express such an opinion based on the financial information presented in the Appendices.

Our examination included:

Discussions with the directors of Tungsten Mining; Review of contractual arrangements; A review of publicly available information; and

A review of Tungsten Mining workpapers, accounting records and other documents.

Section 7 Investigating Accountant’s Report

7. Opinion

In our opinion, the Historical Financial Information and Pro-Forma Financial Information as set out in the Appendices presents fairly, the financial position of Tungsten Mining as at 31 May 2012 and the financial performance for the period ended on this date in accordance with the accounting methodologies required by Australian Accounting Standards on the basis of assumptions and transactions set out in the Appendices.

Section 7 Investigating Accountant’s Report

APPENDIX 2 – NOTES TO AND FORMING PART OF THE FINANCIAL INFORMATION

1. Summary of significant accounting policies

(a) Basis of Accounting

The financial information of the Group has been prepared in accordance with the measurement and recognition (but not the disclosure) requirements of Australian Accounting Standards, Australian Accounting Interpretations and the Corporations Act 2001 . The Group comprises Tungsten Mining NL and entities is controlled during the period to, and as at, 31 May 2012.

The financial information has been prepared on an accruals basis and going concern basis, is based on historical cost and except where stated does not take into account changing money values or current valuations of non-current assets. Cost is based on the fair values of the consideration given in exchange for assets.

The preparation of the Statement of Financial Position and Statement of Comprehensive Income requires the use of certain critical accounting estimates and assumptions. It also requires management to exercise its judgement in the process of applying the Group’s accounting policies. The areas involving a higher degree of judgement or complexity, or areas where assumptions and estimates are significant to the Statement of Comprehensive Income and Statement of Financial Position are disclosed where appropriate.

The Statement of Financial Position as at 31 May 2012 is in accordance with the Group’s reviewed financial position at that date. The pro forma Statement of Financial Position at 31 May 2012 represents the reviewed financial position as at that date adjusted for the transactions outlined in Note 2 of this report. The Statement of Financial Position and Statement of Comprehensive Income should be read in conjunction with the notes set out in this report.

(b) Cash and Cash Equivalents

Cash and cash equivalents includes cash on hand, deposits held at call with financial institutions, other short-term highly liquid investments with original maturities of three months or less that are readily convertible to known amounts of cash and which are subject to an insignificant risk of changes in value, and bank overdrafts. Bank overdrafts are shown within borrowings in current liabilities on the Statement of Financial Position.

(c) Income Tax

The income tax expense (income) for the period comprises current income tax expense (income) and deferred tax expense (income).

Current income tax expense charged to profit or loss is the tax payable on taxable income. Current tax liabilities (assets) are measured at the amounts expected to be paid to (recovered from) the relevant taxation authority.

Deferred income tax expense reflects movements in deferred tax asset and deferred tax liability balances during the period as well unused tax losses. Current and deferred income tax expense (income) is charged or credited outside profit or loss when the tax relates to items that are recognised outside profit or loss.

Except for business combinations, no deferred income tax is recognised from the initial recognition of an asset or liability where there is no effect on accounting or taxable profit or loss.

Deferred tax assets and liabilities are calculated at the tax rates that are expected to apply to the period when the asset is realised or the liability is settled and their measurement also reflects the manner in which management expects to recover or settle the carrying amount of the related asset or liability.

Deferred tax assets relating to temporary differences and unused tax losses are recognised only to the extent that it is probable that future taxable profit will be available against which the benefits of the deferred tax asset can be utilised.

Where temporary differences exist in relation to investments in subsidiaries, branches, associates and joint ventures, deferred tax assets and liabilities are not recognised where the timing of the reversal of the temporary difference can be controlled and it is not probable that the reversal will occur in the foreseeable future.

79

Tungsten Mining NL Prospectus

Section 7 Investigating Accountant’s Report

Current tax assets and liabilities are offset where a legally enforceable right of set-off exists and it is intended that net settlement or simultaneous realisation and settlement of the respective asset and liability will occur. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are offset where: (a) a legally enforceable right of set-off exists; and (b) the deferred tax assets and liabilities relate to income taxes levied by the same taxation authority on either the same taxable entity or different taxable entities where it is intended that net settlement or simultaneous realisation and settlement of the respective asset and liability will occur in future periods in which significant amounts of deferred tax assets or liabilities are expected to be recovered or settled.

(d) Principles of consolidation

The consolidated financial information incorporate the assets, liabilities and results of entities controlled by Tungsten Mining NL at the end of the reporting period. A controlled entity is any entity over which Tungsten Mining NL has the ability and right to govern the financial and operating policies so as to obtain benefits from the entity’s activities.

In preparing the consolidated financial information, all intragroup balances and transactions between entities in the consolidated Group have been eliminated in full on consolidation.

(e) 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 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.

(f) Trade Creditors

These amounts represent liabilities for goods and services provided to the Group prior to the end of the financial period and which are unpaid. The amounts are unsecured and are usually paid within 30 days of recognition.

(g) Issued Capital

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.

(h) Share Based Payments

The fair value of the equity to which employees become entitled is measured at grant date and recognised as an expense over the vesting period, with a corresponding increase to an equity account. The fair value of shares is ascertained as the market bid price. The fair value of options is ascertained using a BlackScholes pricing model which incorporates all market vesting conditions. The number of shares and options expected to vest is reviewed and adjusted at each reporting date such that the amount recognised for services received as consideration for the equity instruments granted shall be based on the number of equity instruments that eventually vest.

(i) Goods and Services Tax (GST)

Revenues, expenses and assets are recognised net of the amount of GST except:

  • Where the GST incurred on the 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 the payables in the Statement of Financial Position.

80

Tungsten Mining NL Prospectus

Section 7 Investigating Accountant’s Report

(j) Key estimate - Impairment

The Group assesses impairment at the end of each reporting period by evaluating conditions and events specific to the Group that may be indicative of impairment triggers. Recoverable amounts of relevant assets are reassessed using value-in-use calculations which incorporate various key assumptions.

(k) Key judgement – 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.

The MMA does not apply to an operator of a mining title who is conducting reconnaissance sampling by way of example however mining activities that cause substantial disturbance including, but not limited to drilling activities on a mining title will require a mining operator to comply with the provisions of the MMA.

  • 3.23. Pursuant to the MMA any company that proposes to undertake mining activities that would cause substantial disturbance to the ground is required to obtain an authorisation. In addition to applying for an authorisation under the MMA an operator must also submit a mining management plan (“ Plan ”) and lodge a security (in the form of cash or a bank guarantee) which is subject to periodic review and based on the level of ground disturbance caused by the operator on a mining title. Upon commencement of mining activities an operator must update the Plan at agreed review periods.

  • 3.24. At the time of our searches of the Tenements no outstanding fines or orders have been imposed by the respective minister or by a warden concerning forfeiture of the Tenements and there are no applications by third parties over the Tenements seeking forfeiture.

4. Material Contracts

  • 4.1. The Company has entered into or will enter into a number of contracts which relate to the business of the Company including with respect to certain of the Tenements listed in Part I of the Schedule.

  • 4.2. The material terms of the material contracts are set out in the Summary of Material Contracts Section of this Prospectus (Section 9.3). An investor who may wish to gain a full knowledge of the contents of any agreement should inspect them at the Company’s registered office.

5. Aboriginal Heritage

  • 5.1. We have made searches to determine if any Aboriginal sites affect or are located on the Tenements.

  • 5.2. Pursuant to our searches there are areas of Aboriginal heritage located within the boundaries of the Tenements.

  • 5.3. The Aboriginal Heritage Act 1972 Western Australia (“ Heritage Act ”) applies to all mining tenements situated in Western Australia. Under the Heritage Act a site includes any sacred, ritual or ceremonial site that is of special significance and importance to Aboriginal persons. It is an offence to do an act which damages or alters an Aboriginal site or object.

  • 5.4. The Northern Territory Aboriginal Sacred Sites Act 1989 Northern Territory (“ NT Heritage Act ”) applies to all mining tenements situated in the Northern Territory and makes it an offence to carry out work on or use a sacred site or desecrate a sacred site. A site is defined as a sacred site within the meaning of the Aboriginal Land Rights (Northern Territory) Act 1976.

  • 5.5. The Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander Heritage Act (1984) (“ Commonwealth Heritage Act ”) applies to the Tenements and is designed to preserve and protect any Aboriginal areas and objects that may be located on the Tenements from desecration.

Section 8 Solicitor’s Report on Mining Tenements

  • 5.6. Sites may be registered in the registers maintained by the Department of Indigenous Affairs (“ DIA ”), but there is no requirement or need for a site to be registered in any public manner in order for it to qualify as an Aboriginal site for the purposes of the Heritage Act.

  • 5.7. A report of searches of the online electronic version of the Aboriginal Sites Register maintained by the DIA and conducted on 2 July 2012 and 14 August 2012 is noted in Part II of the Tenement Schedule.

  • 5.8. It should be noted that, in any event, the Heritage Act protects all Aboriginal sites whether or not they are registered under that act and that tenements in Western Australia are granted subject to an endorsement reminding the tenement holder of it’s obligation to comply with the requirements of the Heritage Act. As such, the Company will need to observe this act when conducting activities on the Tenements located in Western Australia.

  • 5.9. A report of searches of the Northern Territory register of Aboriginal scared sites maintained by the Aboriginal Areas Protection Authority (“ Authority ”) and conducted on 9 July 2012 and 10 July 2012 is noted in Part II of the Schedule.

  • 5.10. With respect to the NT Heritage Act, sacred sites are either “registered sacred sites” or “recorded sacred sites”. “Registered scared sites” are documented and entered into the Register of Sacred Sites (“ Register ”) pursuant to the NT Heritage Act. “Recorded scared sites” have not been placed in the Register and the Authority does not purport to hold detailed information regarding these sites. There is a risk that a scared site previously unknown to the Authority may be identified after the commencement of works. To overcome this problem the NT Heritage Act enables a person wishing to make use of or carry out works on land in the Northern Territory to request that the Authority consult with the custodians and provide written advice specifying the constraints (if any) to a particular activity imposed by the existence of sacred sites. The Authority may issue an Authority Certificate which sets out conditions (if any) on which proposed work may be carried out or use made of the land.

  • 5.11. An Authority Certificate has previously been issued over either part or all of the land comprising E23937, E24995 and E29004. Consequently the Authority has placed conditions relating to the protection of

scared sites in relation to particular works. The scared sites herein are “recorded sacred sites” not “registered sacred sites” and therefore are not listed on the Register

  • 5.12. It should be noted that, in any event, the NT Heritage Act protects all Aboriginal sites whether or not they are registered under that act and that tenements in the Northern Territory are granted subject to a condition reminding the tenement holder of its obligation to consult with the Authority. As such, the Company will need to observe the act while conducting activities on the Tenements located in Northern Territory.

  • 5.13. The Company must not breach the Heritage Act, the Commonwealth Heritage Act or the NT Heritage Act with respect to Aboriginal heritage. The Company will also need to ensure that any interference with Aboriginal sites complies with the provisions of the Heritage Act, the Commonwealth Heritage Act and the NT Act.

6. Native Title

  • 6.1. In June 1992 the High Court of Australia held in Mabo v Queensland (1992) 175 CLR 1 that the Australian legal system does recognise a form of native title rights of Aboriginal Australians where those rights have not been lawfully extinguished.

  • 6.2. Native title may be extinguished by voluntary surrender to the Crown, death of the last survivor of a community entitled to native title, abandonment of the land in question by that community or the granting of an “inconsistent interest” in the land by the Crown, such as the granting of a freehold interest or some types of leasehold interests in the land.

  • 6.3. A tenement will not be affected by native title where no native title has existed over the land the subject of a tenement.

  • 6.4. In relation to paragraphs 6.2 and 6.3 above, for the purposes of this report we have not undertaken research necessary to determine whether native title has been extinguished or does not exist.

  • 6.5. The Native Title Act 1993 (“ NTA ”) came into operation on 1 January 1994, recognising and seeking to protect native title in Australia. The NTA, inter alia, sets out procedures to be complied with for various future acts affecting native title and specifies procedures by which native title can be claimed.

Native Title Claims

  • 6.6. The NTA provides a process for indigenous people to lodge an application for determination of native title (being a native title claim) with the Federal Court of Australia. Applications which are lodged with the Federal Court of Australia will also be referred to the National Native Title Tribunal (“ NNTT ”) for the purposes of registration of the claim.

  • 6.7. Native title claims that meet the registration requirements set out in the NTA (the “ Registration Test ”) will be entered on the Register of Native Title Claims maintained by the NNTT (the “NNTT Register ”).

  • 6.8. Claims that fail to meet the Registration Test are recorded on the Schedule of Applications Received, and may be entered on the NNTT Register at a later date if additional information that satisfies the Registration Test is provided by the claimant and satisfies the Registration Test.

  • 6.9. Granting of a mining tenement (or renewal) is capable of affecting native title and is considered a future act. As a result of the future act procedures under the NTA a valid grant of a tenement may still be achieved however. The validity of a tenement is dependent upon its grant date.

  • 6.10. The NTA, notwithstanding Mabo , provides that certain land granted prior to 1 January 1994 is valid. This was extended by the NTA to cover certain land being freehold land which was granted or renewed prior to 23 December 1996.

  • 6.11. Mining tenements granted after 23 December 1996 must comply with certain requirements in order for the future acts to be valid under the NTA. All of the Tenements were granted during this period. Renewals of mining tenements made after 23 December 1996 must also comply with the future acts of the NTA.

Future Grant of Tenements

  • 6.12. The valid grant of any of the Tenements which may be affected by native title requires compliance with the provisions of the NTA in addition to compliance with the procedures under the Act.

  • 6.13. The NTA provides a procedure known as the “right to negotiate” (” RTN ”). The RTN procedure involves the negotiation between the relevant State Government, the tenement applicant and the relevant registered native title claimant to agree terms upon which a tenement may be granted. If agreement is not reached to enable the grant to occur, the matter may be referred to arbitration before the NNTT, which has 6 months to make a determination.

  • 6.14. Where an indigenous land use agreement (“ ILUA ”) is negotiated with the relevant Aboriginal people and registered with the NNTT the RTN procedure does not have to be followed. An ILUA records the terms on which a tenement may be granted. Once an ILUA is agreed and registered the parties to it are bound by it terms.

  • 6.15. The RTN procedure is not required in circumstances where the expedited procedure pursuant to the NTA applies (“ Expedited Procedure ”). The Expedited Procedure applies to the granting of a tenement where such a grant will most likely not interfere with the carrying on of community or social activities of native title persons, does not interfere with areas of sites of particular significance to native title persons or does not involve major land disturbance.

  • 6.16. The RTN procedure will generally not be required where the grant of a tenement is for an infrastructure facility. Generally, miscellaneous licences concern infrastructure facilities. It is noted however that a miscellaneous licence for a groundwater search will be subject to the RTN procedure. The Department considers a miscellaneous licence for groundwater search a low impact act and as such can be subject to the Expedited Procedure. However, where an objection is made by a native title person with respect to a miscellaneous licence for groundwater search the RTN procedure will apply.

  • 6.17. Tenements L08/82, L08/83 and L08/84 and noted in the Tenement Schedule are applications for miscellaneous licences which include, but are not limited to, a search for groundwater.

PART II – ABORIGINAL HERITAGE INFORMATION

Northern Territory Sites

The land comprising tenements E29004, E23937 and E24995 have “recorded sacred sites” which are not readily identifiable on the Register as they are not “registered sacred sites”. They have not been evaluated or placed in the Register by the Authority but there is information indicating that they are nonetheless significant according to Aboriginal tradition and therefore “sacred sites” within the meaning of the NT Heritage Act. As such they are noted as Authority certificates C2011/177, C1998/023, C2009/265, C2007/115, C2007/058 and C1994/069 which purport to identify restricted works areas on the land comprising tenements E29004, E23937 and E24995.

Section 9 Additional Information

==> picture [38 x 39] intentionally omitted <==

9.1 Rights Attaching to Securities

9.1.1 Ordinary Shares

The rights, privileges and restrictions attaching to Shares can be summarised as follows:

(a) General Meetings

Shareholders are entitled to be present in person, or by proxy, attorney or representative to attend and vote at general meetings of the Company.

  • Shareholders may requisition meetings in accordance with Section 249D of the Corporations Act 2001 and the Constitution of the Company.

(b) Voting Rights

Subject to any rights or restrictions for the time being attached to any class or classes of shares, at general meetings of shareholders or classes of shareholders:

  • (i) each shareholder entitled to vote may vote in person or by proxy, attorney or representative;

  • (ii) on a show of hands, every person present who is a shareholder or a proxy, attorney or representative of a shareholder has one vote; and

  • (iii) on a poll, every person present who is a shareholder or a proxy, attorney or representative of a shareholder shall, in respect of each fully paid share held by him, or in respect of which he is appointed a proxy, attorney or representative, have one vote for the share, but in respect of partly paid shares shall have such number of votes as bears the same proportion to the total of such shares registered in the shareholder’s name as the amount paid (not credited) bears to the total amounts paid and payable (excluding amounts credited).

(c) Dividend Rights

entitled to shares with special rights to dividend the Directors may declare a final dividend out of profits in accordance with the Corporations Act and may authorise the payment or crediting by the Company to the shareholders of such a dividend. The Directors may authorise the payment or crediting by the Company to the shareholders of such interim dividends as appear to the Directors to be justified by the profits of the Company. Subject to the rights of persons (if any) entitled to shares with special rights as to dividend all dividends are to be declared and paid according to the amounts paid or credited as paid on the shares in respect of which the dividend is paid. Interest may not be paid by the Company in respect of any dividend, whether final or interim.

(d) Winding-Up

If the Company is wound up, the liquidator may, with the authority of a special resolution of the Company, divide among the shareholders in kind the whole or any part of the property of the Company, and may for that purpose set such value as he considers fair upon any property to be so divided, and may determine how the division is to be carried out as between the shareholders or different classes of shareholders. The liquidator may, with the authority of a special resolution of the Company, vest the whole or any part of any such property in trustees upon such trusts for the benefit of the contributories as the liquidator thinks fit, but so that no shareholder is compelled to accept any shares or other securities in respect of which there is any liability. Where an order is made for the winding up of the Company or it is resolved by special resolution to wind up the Company, then on a distribution of assets to members, any shares classified as restricted securities at the time of the commencement of the winding up shall rank in priority after all other shares.

Subject to the rights of persons (if any)
