Following feedback form ASX the parties are continuing to negotiate such amendments as may be required to restructure the purchase terms.

  • Completion of Early Contractor Involvement (ECI) phase – Tungsten Mining completed a value engineering exercise for the processing plant to conclude the ECI phase.

  • Progression of Key Approvals - Requests for additional information on the key approval submissions were received from the relevant government departments and promptly addressed. The Company anticipates receipt of the relevant approvals in the December quarter.

  • Cash position – The Company’s cash position as at 30 September 2018 was $41.83m.

Commentary

TGN continues to implement its strategy directed at building a tungsten business of scale, completing the acquisition of the Watershed Project and entering into an agreement to acquire the Hatches Creek Project during the past quarter. The Company has now grown its resource inventory to 25.5 million MTU’s (metric tonne units) of WO3 (tungsten trioxide) and a further 19,100 tonnes of Mo (molybdenum) (refer to page 23 of accompanying Resource Statements).

Recent drilling programs for the Mulgine Hill project has highlighted the more extensive nature of tungsten and molybdenum mineralisation at Mt Mulgine, the significance of which will be one aspect considered in a strategic review of the entire Mt Mulgine project. The review is to better understand the risks and opportunities presented by more extensive mineralisation and, importantly, to assess and inform the decision for implementing the project on the basis of large-scale mining and processing activities.

Tungsten Mining NL Quarterly Activities Report September 2018

Tungsten Mining

Tungsten Mining NL (“the Company”) is focussed on the discovery and development of tungsten deposits in Australia. The Company’s key projects are Mt Mulgine, Big Hill and Kilba in Western Australia and Watershed in north east Queensland.

Through exploration and acquisition, the Company had grown its resource inventory, to 25.5 million MTU’s (metric tonne units) of WO3 (tungsten trioxide) and a further 19,100 tonnes of Mo (molybdenum) comprising Measured Resources of 9.5Mt at 0.16% WO3, Indicated Resources of 55.7Mt at 0.14% WO3 and 10ppm Mo and Inferred Resources of 111.7Mt at 0.14% WO3 and 170ppm Mo at a cut-off grade of 0.05% WO3 (refer ASX announcement - June Quarterly Report p23). This provides the platform for the Company to become a globally significant player within the primary tungsten market through the development of lowcost tungsten concentrate production.

Mt Mulgine Development Plan

Strategic Review - Large Scale Mining and Processing operations

The far greater extent of tungsten and molybdenum mineralisation at Mt Mulgine identified during the recent drilling programs necessitates a clearer understanding of the potential for resource sterilisation from currently planned mining activities and further opportunities for resource growth, particularly in the case of molybdenum.

Accordingly, the Company is engaging specialist resource consultants to undertake a strategic review of the entire Mt Mulgine project to better understand these risks and opportunities and, importantly, to assess and inform the decision for implementing the project on the basis of large-scale mining and processing activities. This work will be conducted concurrent with the resource upgrade and re-optimisation of the Mulgine Hill project, and directed at ensuring the maximum value can be derived from the Mt Mulgine Project over the long term.

Whilst the initial focus of the strategic review will be upon the Mt Mulgine Project, it is also planned that the scope of the review will extend to an assessment of other projects held in the Company’s portfolio to assist in ranking and developing a comprehensive project development pipeline.

The nature of the work outlined above will necessarily impact on the timing for commencement of operations. A revised schedule will be determined as a component of the development activities and strategic review described above. This will be a major planned activity for the December quarter.

Other planned activities for the December quarter will be to;

  •  Update the geological resource model;

  •  Revise pit optimisations, pit designs and mining schedules;

  •  Complete metallurgical recovery of scheelite concentrate for marketing purposes, to be made available to potential offtake partners;

  •  Understand the extent of molybdenum mineralisation at Mt Mulgine and identify the additional work required to determine the potential to unlock significant project value;

  •  Re-submission of Mining proposal and NVCP documents, inclusive of the additional information requested by DMIRS;

  •  Receive all regulatory approvals for the Mulgine Hill project;

  •  Continuation of R&D test work on the recovery of tungsten from the oxide layer of the Mt Mulgine

  • deposit;

  •  Review historic drilling, geological interpretation and metallurgical test work on the Trench resource.

Geology and Resource

Mulgine Hill

At Mulgine Hill, mineralisation is associated with the sub-horizontal upper contact of a mafic schist unit and overlying quartz-muscovite greisen. Tungsten occurs as scheelite in coarse disseminations within the greisen or within numerous quartz and greisen veins in both the mafic schists and the quartz-muscovite greisen.

During August 2016, the Company drilled 26 reverse circulation (RC) holes for 1,007 metres and five large diameter (PQ) diamond holes for 202.4 metres at Mulgine Hill to test shallow tungsten mineralisation (refer ASX Announcement 23 September 2016).

Results from this drilling were encouraging, intersecting thick zones of tungsten mineralisation at all target areas. Drilling confirmed continuity of mineralisation within the existing Mineral Resource plus defined extensions in both fresh and weathered material along strike and down dip.

Tungsten Mining NL Quarterly Activities Report September 2018

Resource Update - June 2017

Interpretation of all data collected since the June 2016 Mulgine Hill Mineral Resource estimate was completed in the June 2017 quarter. Specialist Mineral Resource consultants, Optiro Pty Ltd were engaged to update the Mulgine Hill Mineral Resource estimate. Two new components were added to the 2017 Mineral Resource estimate, comprising the introduction of a high-grade sub-domain for the Main Zone and a Mineral Resource reporting constraint addressing the prospects for eventual economic extraction.

The Mineral Resource estimate for Mulgine Hill as of 30 June 2017 is 7,100,000 tonnes at 0.23% WO3 and 98 ppm Mo (Refer to ASX announcement dated 28 July 2017).

November 2017 to April 2018 Drilling Program

Between 29 November 2017 and 11 April 2018, Tungsten Mining drilled a total of 126 RC holes for 8,938 metres and four HQ diamond holes for 321.4 metres on the Mt Mulgine Project. The objectives of this drilling program were as follows:

  • Complete sterilisation drilling across proposed waste landforms locations.

  • Complete the 40 metre drill spacing over optimised pits at Mulgine Hill.

  • Limited follow-up of significant tungsten-molybdenum mineralisation identified by sterilisation drilling.

  • Diamond drilling to collect data and material for geotechnical studies associated with Mulgine Hill pit designs.

The results of the drilling program were reported to ASX on 16 February, 4 May and 30 July 2018. Sterilisation drilling identified strong tungsten-molybdenum mineralisation over significant strike lengths at Mulgine Hill South and Mulgine Hill East associated with the Mulgine Granite contact. Two RC holes drilled at the Mulgine Hill Moly Prospect intersected significant molybdenum-tungsten mineralisation consistent with historic exploration. Soil sampling of the proposed tailing storage facility defined a large soil anomaly to 595 ppm W. Subsequent drilling of this anomalous intersected thick zones of tungsten mineralisation requiring further investigation.

September 2018 Quarter Drilling

During the September quarter, Tungsten Mining drilled 91 RC holes for 5,195 metres to complete 20 metre infill sections over pit optimisations at Mulgine Hill. Holes focused on the proposed main pit and two proposed satellite pits (Figure 3). Results are refining the understanding of mineralisation at Mulgine Hill and continue to confirm continuity of mineralisation present (Figure 4). Better intersections include 31 metres at 0.34% WO3 from 17 metres, 14 metres at 3.85% WO3 from 45 metres and 18 metres at 1.61% WO3 from 54 metres (refer ASX announcement dated 30 October 2018).

Drilling has also identified additional new zones of significant mineralisation as follows:

  • High-grade tungsten - molybdenum mineralisation in the footwall greisen beneath the Main pit that requires further drilling to define geometry and grade (Figure 5).

  • Thick zones of low – medium grade tungsten ± molybdenum mineralisation intersected by drilling at the Northeast pit. Mineralisation is open to the east (Figure 3 and 6).

  • Significant tungsten - molybdenum mineralisation intersected by MMC220 (45 metres at 0.13% WO3 and 0.10% Mo at 0.05% WO3 + Mo cut) at the North pit. Mineralisation is open to the north.

  • Multiple zones of low–medium grade tungsten molybdenum mineralisation in the upper greisen (Figure 4).

Interpretation of drilling is proceeding and a revised Mineral Resource estimate is being prepared. Better tungsten intersections received to date are listed in Table 1.

Mulgine Hill Mineral Resource Update

Since the June 2017 estimate, Tungsten Mining have drilled an additional 113 RC and four diamond holes into the Mulgine Hill Mineral Resource. Interpretation of all new data is proceeding and a revised estimate will be released in the December quarter.

Mulgine Hill Moly Prospect

In 1966, Westfield Minerals (WA) NL drilled 51 percussion holes at the Mulgine Hill Moly Prospect. This drilling intersected molybdenum mineralisation in two zones with a total strike length of 600 metres. In October 2018, Tungsten Mining drilled four RC holes (546 metres) to test the northern zone (Figure 1). This drilling intersected quartz veined greisen and granite at target depths.

Results have been received for 60% of the first drill hole and are considered highly encouraging. Drilling intersected multiple zones of molybdenum-tungsten mineralisation associated with the quartz veined greisen (Figure 6). Better intersections are listed in Table 2 and a complete list of intersections greater than 2 metres at 0.05% WO3 plus Mo are listed in Appendix 1 (further assay results are pending).

Mulgine Trench

Tungsten mineralisation at Mulgine Trench is hosted by quartz-scheelite veins in mafic and ultramafic volcanics in a 100 to 250 metre thick zone that extends over 1.5 kilometres of strike. Mineralisation is open along strike and down dip and is associated with foliation parallel quartz veins generally less than 10 centimetres in width. Mineralisation is strongest where quartz veining averages 15 – 20% of the total rock volume.

Tungsten Mining’s strategy at Mulgine Trench is to target potentially low strip ratio fresh tungsten and molybdenum mineralisation beneath and adjacent to the Bobby McGee pit and gain a greater understanding of the Mulgine Trench oxide layer.

During August 2016, the Company drilled 9 RC holes for 476 metres at Mulgine Trench to test tungsten mineralisation adjacent to and beneath the Bobby McGee pit. Results from this drilling were extremely encouraging, intersecting substantial thicknesses of tungsten mineralisation (i.e. 72 metres at 0.16% WO3 and 0.02% Mo from surface in MMC030) and molybdenum mineralisation (40 metres at 0.08% WO3 and 0.12% Mo from surface in MMC028).

During the September quarter, four PQ3 diamond holes for 528.2 metres were drilled to obtain samples for metallurgical studies at Mulgine Trench (Figure 9). The Trench deposit has several metallurgical domains and core will be used to conduct extensive test work to identify the optimal recovery process for both tungsten and molybdenum.

Process Plant Design

The Company advanced the process plant design with the completion of a value engineering exercise as part of the ECI process. The exercise focussed on identifying capacity constraints, particularly in the wet plant, by re-sizing some major equipment to ensure the plant could achieve its maximum capacity. An EPC lump sum price has been delivered for the process plant design and is now the subject to a formal review and assessment process by Company management.

Metallurgical Testwork

Oxide/Weathered Layer R&D

The R&D test work program to recover tungsten from the oxide/weathered zone continued in the September quarter.

Gravity concentration using wet tables followed by HLS test work on samples from Mulgine Hill showed a lower than previously demonstrated upgrade in WO3. Mineralogical analysis on these samples highlighted there where 5 different tungsten oxide minerals.

Samples collected from the recent reverse circulation (RC) drilling program will undergo further HLS test work and mineralogical analysis to identify mineral types that will be amenable to gravity concentration. From here, a geo-metallurgical map of the Mulgine Hill oxide layer will be formed to identify areas of the oxide layer where WO3 can be economically extracted and included in future resource modelling.

Tungsten Mining NL Quarterly Activities Report September 2018

Bulk Concentrate

The production of the bulk scheelite concentrate for marketing purposes is nearing completion. Wet tabling work has been completed, showing a good upgrade of WO3 however this work has identified the need to remove sulphur prior to gravity separation.

Metallurgical test work completed on the table tailings samples showed favourable settling and rheological characteristics. Further test work will be completed on filtration and drying of the final concentrate to allow for performance guarantees on the dewatering equipment required in the process plant.

Regulatory Submissions

All major scopes of work to support the submission of the Mining Proposal, Works Approval and Native Vegetation Clearing Permit (NVCP) were completed in the June Quarter and submitted to the relevant departments in July.

Requests for additional information and clarity on specific areas on the Mining Proposal and Works Approval were received from DMIRS and DWER respectively during the quarter. Additional items required for the Works Approval were promptly addressed and the document re-submitted during the quarter. Resubmission of the Mining Proposal is expected early in the December quarter.

The Company has also received feedback from the DMIRS in relation to its Native Vegetation Clearing Permit application and is working with its environmental advisers to respond to the matters raised by the regulator.

The Company anticipates receipt of the relevant approvals in the December quarter.

Mulgine Trench Development Plan

Development of the large Trench deposit will enable the long term production of concentrate at Mt Mulgine. A review of the historic drilling, geological interpretation and metallurgical test work on the Trench resource commenced in the September quarter and will continue into the December quarter.

This review will form part of the broader review extending to an assessment of other projects held in the Company’s portfolio to assist in ranking and developing a comprehensive project development pipeline and formalising the level and scope of future feasibility studies.

Other Projects

Big Hill Project, Eastern Pilbara, WA

The Big Hill Project area is located approximately 30km northeast of the Nullagine township in the Eastern Pilbara of Western Australia. The project contains the Big Hill deposit where 22,871 metres of diamond and RC drilling have defined a JORC-2012 Mineral Resource estimate totalling 11.5Mt at 0.15% WO3 (0.10% WO3 cut-off) comprising an Indicated Resource of 6.2Mt at 0.16% WO3 and an Inferred Resource of 5.3Mt at 0.13% WO3.

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

Retention License R46/003 was granted in April 2017. There are no planned activities for the Big Hill Project in the next quarter.

Kilba Project, Ashburton Region, WA

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

This work has defined a JORC-2012 compliant Mineral Resource totalling 5.0Mt at 0.24% WO3 (0.10% WO3 cut-off) comprising an Indicated Resource of 4.1Mt at 0.25% WO3 and an Inferred Resource of 0.8Mt at 0.20% WO3.

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

In May 2017 the WA Department of Mines, Industry Regulation and Safety approved a 5 year exemption from expenditure for M08/314 pursuant to the Mining Act. No work was undertaken during the September quarter.

Tungsten Mining has a portfolio of other projects in Western Australia prospective for tungsten. These include the Koolyanobbing and Callie Soak projects. Work on these projects is in the initial stages of reconnaissance and target generation and it is hoped that these tenements will yield additional mineralisation, which Tungsten Mining can exploit.

Details on the recently acquired Watershed Project in north east Queensland are set out below.

Tungsten Mining NL Quarterly Activities Report September 2018

Funds raised by the Placement are to be used to advance development activities at the Company’s Mt Mulgine Tungsten Project, in particular to advance (fast track) studies related to large scale mining and processing operations at Mt Mulgine and for acquisition opportunities (Watershed and Hatches Creek).

Acquisition of Watershed Tungsten Project

On 1 May 2018 the Company and Vital Metals Limited (Vital) executed a binding term sheet for TGN to acquire a 100% interest in the Watershed Tungsten Project located in north Queensland (refer Figure 12) for a cash consideration of $15m. Following completion of due diligence and preparation of formal transaction documents, the parties executed a formal Sale Agreement to give effect to the transaction contemplated by the term sheet. Completion of the transaction occurred on 9 August 2018.

Watershed is located 130km north of Cairns in a mining friendly jurisdiction, with granted Mining Leases and an Environmental Authority for an open-pit development. Vital completed a Definitive Feasibility Study (DFS) for the project in 2014.

The Watershed Project substantially adds to Tungsten Mining’s global resource inventory and boasts a JORC 2012 Mineral Resource Estimate of 49.3Mt grading 0.14% WO3 comprises Measured Resources of 9.5Mt at 0.16% WO3, Indicated Resources of 28.4Mt at 0.14% WO3 and Inferred Resources of 11.5Mt at 0.15% WO3 at a cut-off grade of 0.05% WO3 (refer ASX announcement - June Quarterly Report p23).

Agreement to Acquire Hatches Creek Tungsten Project

On 3 September 2018 the Company announced that it had agreed the terms with GWR Group Limited (ASX: GWR) (“GWR”) for the acquisition of the Hatches Creek Tungsten Project.

The Company and GWR had agreed terms for TGN to acquire NT Tungsten Pty Ltd, a wholly owned subsidiary of GWR, which in turn owns a 100% interest in the Hatches Creek Tungsten Project located 375 km north east of Alice Springs in the Northern Territory of Australia, for a cash consideration of $8.68m. Completion of the acquisition was subject to certain conditions precedent including, TGN shareholder approval.

On 25 October 2018 the Company announced that following consultation with ASX the Company has been advised that the transaction as currently structured, purchase by way of cash consideration of $8.68m, cannot proceed. GWR and TGN remain committed to implement a transaction to enable TGN to invest in the Hatches Creek Tungsten Project and have agreed to negotiate in good faith such amendments as may be required.

GWR has reported that it successfully completed RC drilling programs in 2016 and 2017, which confirmed multiple high-grade polymetallic tungsten prospects and demonstrated potential for a large high-grade polymetallic tungsten deposit. Further details on the Hatches Creek Project, including GWR’s Exploration Target Estimate for the project, are set out in GWR’s ASX announcement dated 17 July 2018 and in the June Quarter Activities Report released by GWR on 31 July 2018.

About Tungsten Mining

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

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

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

Tungsten Mining has four advanced tungsten projects in Australia: the Mt Mulgine Project in the Murchison region, the Big Hill Project in the Pilbara region and the Kilba Project in the Ashburton region of Western Australia and the Watershed Project in north east Queensland.

Tungsten Mining is implementing a staged approach to the development of the Mt Mulgine Tungsten Project, initially focussed on a low capital start-up from Mulgine Hill, directed at demonstrating a pathway to positive cash flow and the basis for large scale mining and processing operations at Mulgine Trench.
