Condensed notes to the financial statements
For the half year ended 31 December 2017
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 2017, 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 2017 and considered with any public announcements made by Tungsten Mining NL during and subsequent to the half-year ended 31 December 2017 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 2017 but determined that their application to the financial statements is either not relevant or not material.
Note 2: Segment reporting
The Group 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 Group 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 Group 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 3: Exploration expenses | Consolidated | Consolidated |
|---|---|---|
| December 2017 | December 2016 | |
| $ | $ | |
| Exploration expenditure | 969,154 | 928,129 |
The exploration expenditure in the current and prior period predominately relates to exploration and evaluation activities undertaken in relation to the Mt Mulgine Tungsten project.

During the period, the Group acquired a near new, dismantled modular processing plant from Pilbara Minerals Ltd and relocated it from its location in the Pilbara to storage in laydown area adjacent to the Golden Dragon gold processing plant operated by Minjar Gold.
