Company secretary

Operating results
The net loss of the Group for the half year to 31 December 2014 was $2,786,189 (31 December 2013: $1,922,746). The net loss was largely due to expenditure on mineral exploration and evaluation.
Review of operations
The focus of the Company’s activities during the half year was the completion of a two phase drilling campaign at its flagship Kilba Project in the Ashburton region of Western Australia. Work was directed at increasing the confidence level of key areas of the Kilba Mineral Resource, testing strike extensions and obtaining diamond core for metallurgical test work prior to moving onto the feasibility study stage. In addition, a program of detailed geological mapping and surface sampling of other tungsten targets at Kilba and at Loves Find projects was also completed.
The Company drilled 115 reverse circulation (RC) holes for 9,391 metres and 13 HQ and PQ diamond holes for 686 metres on the 100% owned and granted Mining Lease 08/314. Infill drilling confirmed continuity of tungsten mineralisation at Kilba. The drilling data has been used to generate an updated Mineral Resource estimate that was announced to ASX on 30 January 2015.
==> picture [38 x 32] intentionally omitted <==

Directors’ Report
The updated Indicated and Inferred Mineral Resource estimate for the Kilba Project is an Indicated Resource of 4.1 million tonnes at 0.25% WO3 and an Inferred Resource of 0.83 million tonnes at 0.20% WO3 for a total of 5.0 million tonnes at 0.24% WO3 at Zones 8, 11 and 12. Infill drilling has improved the confidence level to 86% of contained metal falling within the Indicated category.
| Category | Tonnes | WO3 | WO3 |
|---|---|---|---|
| '000 t | % | t | |
| Indicated | 4,100 | 0.25 | 10,400 |
| Inferred | 830 | 0.20 | 1,700 |
| Total | 5,000 | 0.24 | 12,100 |
There has been a 50% increase in contained metal at Zone 8.
A program of “sighter” metallurgical test work was commissioned with Nagrom metallurgical laboratories in Kelmscott WA. The test work, which is still in progress, is testing the Kilba ore for amenability to a range of mineral processes including gravity separation (dense media, jigging, wet tabling, reflux classification), hydrocycloning, magnetic separation, grinding and flotation. This work will substantially assist in defining the scope of any future feasibility study metallurgical test work and process design elements.
The consolidated entity incurred and expensed exploration expenditure of $2,432,243 (2013: $200,725) during the period, predominately related to advancing the Kilba tungsten project as described above.
The updated geological block model is currently being utilised to assess mining options for Kilba, which along with the results of the aforementioned metallurgical test work program will assist in defining the scope of work for a formal feasibility study.
In November 2014, the Company announced that it had entered into a binding agreement with Cobre Montana NL (ASX:CXB) that provides for CXB to explore for lithium and other metals, on the shores of Lake Seabrook, approximately 60km north‐east of Southern Cross, Western Australia. The agreement concerns tenements comprising Tungsten Mining’s Koolyanobbing Project, notably E77/1853, E77/1854, E77/1855, E77/2021, E77/2022 and E77/2035 and extends to an area of influence of 20km outside of the Tungsten Mining Tenements. The Seabrook Rare Metals Venture provides CXB with a right to earn an 80% interest to all metals other than tungsten, the right of which remain or are vested in the Company. CXB is responsible for managing the joint land package and is also responsible for maintaining the tenements in good standing.
In August 2014 the Company announced management changes that resulted in the engagement of major shareholder, GWR Group Ltd, to provide management and technical services to the Company. This followed the resignation of Mr Paul Berndt as Managing Director (who subsequently resigned as a non‐executive director on 21 November 2014) and appointment of Craig Ferrier (GWR Group Ltd, Chief Executive Officer) as Chief Executive Officer from 1 August 2014. Since the end of the period, Mr Gary Lyons (appointed as a non‐executive director on 16 July 2014) has been elected Non‐ executive Chairman in place of Mr Patrick McManus, who resigned as a director on 6 January 2015.

Condensed notes to the financial statements
For the half year ended 31 December 2014
Note 1: Basis of preparation of the half‐yearly financial report
The consolidated financial report is a general purpose condensed financial report for the half‐year ended 31 December 2014, which has been prepared in accordance with AASB 134 Interim Financial Reporting and the Corporations Act 2001.
It is recommended that the half‐year consolidated financial statements be read in conjunction with the annual financial report for the year ended 30 June 2014 and considered with any public announcements made by Tungsten Mining NL during the half‐year ended 31 December 2014 in accordance with continuous disclosure obligations of the ASX Listing Rules .
The half‐year consolidated financial statements do not include all notes of the type normally included within the annual financial report and therefore cannot be expected to provide as full and understanding of the financial performance, financial position and financing and investing activities of the Group as the full financial report.
The half‐year consolidated financial statements have been prepared on the basis of accrual accounting and historical costs.
Changes in accounting standards
The Group has considered the implications of new and amended Accounting Standards effective for annual reporting periods beginning on or after 1 July 2014 but determined that their application to the financial statements is either not relevant or not material.
Key Judgment ‐ Going Concern
The Group incurred an operating loss of $2,786,189 for the period ended 31 December 2014 (31 December 2013: $1,922,746) and a net cash outflow from operating activities amounting to $2,900,323 (31 December 2013: $698,128). The financial report has been prepared on the going concern basis, which contemplates continuity of normal business activities and the realisation of assets and settlements of liabilities in the ordinary course of business. The directors believe this is appropriate for the following reasons:
-
At balance date the Group had cash and cash equivalents of $1,188,214 (June 2014: $4,194,861) and a working capital surplus of $1,136,901 (June 2014: $3,975,056);
-
The Group has the ability to materially reduce its cash outgoings given the status of work programs and the Company’s operating structure;
-
The Group has the demonstrated capacity to raise fresh equity to fund exploration and development activities as required; and
-
The Directors have prepared a cash flow forecast which indicates that the Group will have sufficient cash flow to meet all commitments and working capital requirements for the 12 months period from the date of signing this financial report.

Condensed notes to the financial statements
For the half year ended 31 December 2014
Note 2: Segment reporting
The consolidated entity has based its operating segments on the internal reports that are reviewed and used by the executive management team in assessing performance and in determining the allocation of resources.
The consolidated entity currently does not have production and is only involved in exploration. As a consequence, activities in the operating segment are identified by management based on the manner in which resources are allocated, the nature of the resources provided and the identity of the manager and country of expenditure. Information is reviewed on a whole of entity basis.
Based on these criteria the consolidated entity has only one operating segment, being exploration, and the segment operations and results are reported internally based on the accounting policies as described in Note 1 on a whole of entity basis.

Note 6: Exploration and evaluation
The Company capitalises the acquisition costs in accordance with its accounting policy for exploration and evaluation expenditure. The ultimate recoupment of acquisition costs carried forward in the exploration and evaluation phases are dependent on the successful development and commercial exploitation or sale of the respective areas.
In the comparative period, the option fees paid and the consideration for the acquisition of Northern Minerals Mosquito Creek designated mineral rights were expensed as the Company has withdrawn from the designated mineral rights agreement.

As the auditor of Tungsten Mining NL, ASRE 2410 requires that we comply with the ethical requirements relevant to the audit of the annual financial report.
A review of a half-year financial report consists of making enquiries, primarily of persons responsible for financial and accounting matters, and applying analytical and other review procedures. A review is substantially less in scope than an audit conducted in accordance with Australian Auditing Standards and consequently does not enable us to obtain assurance that we would become aware of all significant matters that might be identified in an audit. Accordingly, we do not express an audit opinion.
Whilst we considered the effectiveness of management’s internal controls over financial reporting when determining the nature and extent of our procedures, our review was not designed to provide assurance on internal controls.
Our review did not involve an analysis of the prudence of business decisions made by the directors or management.
