March Quarter Project Activities

Mount Mulgine

Tungsten Mining NL (TGN) continued to make strong progress advancing the Mt Mulgine Project across several key areas during the March quarter. Key developments included:

Critical Minerals Fund Extension

The $1 million grant under the Federal Critical Minerals Development Program (refer to ASX announcement 18 May 2023 ‘ Federal Critical Minerals Funding Approved’ ) was successfully extended to March 2026. This extension provides TGN with greater flexibility to allocate resources towards a comprehensive variability testwork program, enabling a more detailed understanding of ore processing characteristics and enhancing future project development pathways.

Project Approvals

TGN advanced various approvals activities in preparation for a formal EPA Referral. Work during the quarter included stakeholder engagement, an environmental study scoping, and assessment of regulatory pathways to support the next stages of project development:

  • Completion of an assessment to identify approval requirements for the development of gold assets within the Mulgine tenement package. Preparation of necessary approvals, including Program of Work (PoW) applications for further resource drilling, is underway

  • Ongoing stakeholder engagement is intended to guide future onsite exploration and resource development activities.

  • Development of study scopes to support the intended EPA Referral for the Mt Mulgine project.

Oxide Gold Opportunity

Since the acquisition of the Mt Mulgine tenement package, TGN has undertaken a focused program to evaluate the potential for oxide gold extraction from the Mulgine Trench area, given the recent rise in the gold price.

  • Initial metallurgical testwork has been completed, with results demonstrating potential for high gold recoveries using conventional gravity and carbon-in-leach (CIL) processing circuits.

  • These positive results have enabled the team to move to the next phase of project evaluation, including:

  • Reviewing existing Works Approvals relevant to potential oxide gold extraction;

  • Conducting a detailed resource review for the oxide gold zone; and

  • Assessing processing and development options to unlock near-term value from the oxide gold inventory.

Hatches Creek

Tungsten Mining NL (TGN) made significant progress at the Hatches Creek Project during the March quarter, advancing processing studies, approvals, and resource development activities.

Approvals and Applications

Mining Management Plan : This application has been submitted to the Department of Environment, Parks, and Water Security of the Northern Territory Government, marking an important step in obtaining the necessary environmental approvals.

Mining License Application : This has been lodged with the Department of Industry, Tourism, and Trade of the Northern Territory Government, essential for securing the legal permissions to mine.

Development Advances

Mineral Resource Estimate : Following a successful drilling program, work on a maiden Mineral Resource Estimate (MRE) is underway to expand the resource base within the project area. This estimate will help the Company assess the potential for early-stage production.

Early-Stage Production Consideration : The outcome of the MRE will be crucial in determining a pathway to early production, leveraging the current strong market demand for tungsten.

Drilling Campaign:

The drilling program, completed in the prior quarter, aimed to expand known mineralisation and test several underexplored prospects with historical workings. Key objectives included:

  • Testing extensions to strong mineralisation at the Hit or Miss prospect, based on prior RC drilling results by GWR Group (2016–2019).

  • Infill drilling on 80-metre sections to define continuity of mineralisation at the Treasure prospect.

  • Testing strike extensions of tungsten mineralisation at Bonanza, Green Diamond, and Black Diamond prospects based on historical scout drilling results.

Mineral Resource Estimate

Work on the maiden MRE is in progress following the engagement of Cube Consulting . The maiden MRE will be reported early in the June Quarter.

The MRE will provide a basis to consider an early production pathway, in conjunction with further engineering and testwork to inform flowsheet development and evaluate production options.

Project Approvals

In March 2024, the Company lodged an application for a Mining License (ML33864) with the Department of Industry, Tourism and Trade of the Northern Territory Government for the Project. This was followed by the submission of a Mining Management Plan (MMP) in June 2024 to the Department of Environment, Parks and Water Security of the Northern Territory Government.

The early production pathway options being considered, are under a two stage approach:

  • Stage 1: Processing stockpiles left from historical mining; and

  • Stage 2: Mining and processing tungsten-copper from the pending MRE.

The Company has submitted the MMP application for Stage 1, while the Stage 2 MMP is currently in progress and will be lodged in due course.

Preparations are underway for Stage 2 Mining License applications and an EPA Referral to facilitate the project's long-term development pathway.

Engagement for Approvals

Engagement continued with the Department of Industry, Tourism and Trade (DITT), Central Land Council (CLC), Mineral Titles Office, and other key stakeholders to support the Stage 1 Mining Management Plan submission and Mineral Lease applications.

In April 2025, TGN initiated discussions with the CLC to prepare a Section 46 application, commencing the process to negotiate a mining agreement with Aboriginal Landowners through the CLC.

Environmental Baseline Studies

Planning is underway for onsite fauna surveys to be conducted in the coming quarter, supporting the environmental approvals process.

Processing Solutions

  • Flowsheet and Engineering Development: The first phase of engineering studies was completed, informing flowsheet design and identifying several positive production options for the project.

  • Metallurgical Testwork : Bulk dense media separation (DMS) testwork is currently underway to optimise ore pre-concentration processes, with downstream gravity and flotation testwork to follow to further refine recovery pathways.

  • Scoping Studies: In January 2025, TGN, in collaboration with Mincore (Victoria-based engineering firm), commenced technical and financial scoping studies for the Hatches Creek Project.

TGN remains committed to advancing the Hatches Creek Tungsten Project and will provide further updates as the MMP and Mining License approval process progresses with the NT Government.

Figure 1: Project location map

Mt Mulgine Project, Murchison WA

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

The Project is located within the Murchison Region of Western Australia, approximately 350km north northeast of Perth. The Company has 100% title in the Mt Mulgine tenements on a contiguous group of tenements that have been the subject of significant previous exploration for tungsten and molybdenum.

The Company through its wholly owned subsidiary Mid-West Tungsten Pty Ltd (“MWT”), acquired 100% of the tungsten and molybdenum rights to the Mt Mulgine Project in late 2015 (Refer ASX Release dated 15 December 2015 titled “Hazelwood Projects Acquisition Completed” ).

In December 2024, MWT then acquired 100% title in the Mt Mulgine tenements and now hold rights to all minerals on these tenements (Refer to 17 December 2024 titled “ TGN Completes Settlement to Acquire Mt Mulgine Project Assets”).

Two near surface Mineral Resources have been delineated at the Mulgine Trench and Mulgine Hill deposits. Currently, there is a combined Mineral Resource Estimate of 259Mt at 0.11% WO 3, 270ppm Mo, 0.12g/t Au, 5g/t Ag and 0.03% Cu (at 0.05% WO3 cut-off). This is comprised of Indicated Resources of 183Mt @ 0.11% WO3, 290ppm Mo, 0.13g/t Au, 5g/t Ag, 0.04% Cu and Inferred Resources of 76Mt @ 0.11% WO 3, 240ppm Mo, 0.09g/t Au, 5g/t Ag and 0.03% Cu (refer accompanying Mineral Resource Statement).

Hatches Creek Polymetallic Project, Davenport Province, NT

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

The Project is located 375 km north-east of Alice Springs in the Northern Territory of Australia (Figure 3).

The Company through its wholly owned subsidiary Territory Tungsten Pty Ltd, holds 100% title in the Hatches Creek tenements.

In June 2019, the Company announced that it had executed an agreement with GWR Group Limited (ASX: GWR) (“GWR”) to farm-in to the Hatches Creek Project under which the Company acquired an initial 20% interest from GWR. The Farm-in Agreement provided for Tungsten Mining to direct and manage exploration and development activities at Hatches Creek (Refer to ASX announcement 3 June 2019: ‘ Hatches Creek Tungsten Project Farm-in Agreement .)

In December 2024, the Company completed a sale agreement with GWR to acquire GWR’s remaining 80% interest and now holds 100% of this project. (Refer to ASX announcement 16 December 2024: ‘ TGN completes acquisition of remaining 80% interest in the Hatches Creek .”)

Further details on the results of past drilling programs, Mineral Resource Estimate for surface dumps and the Exploration Target Estimate for the Hatches Creek Project are set out in GWR’s ASX announcements dated 17 July 2018 and 22 May 2019.

Reverse Circulation (RC) Drilling

Between the 31 August to 6 October 2024, the Company completed 65 reverse circulation (RC) drill holes totalling 6,803 metres, testing five targets at the Hatches Creek Project (Figure 4). The objective of the drilling was to test extensions to and confirm continuity of tungsten mineralisation identified by previous RC drilling programs completed by the GWR Group Limited in 2016 to 2019.

All Results from drilling were received in the December quarter and discussed in the TGN ASX Announcement dated 28 January 2025 titled “Drill Resources for Hatches Creek with Tungsten and Copper”.

Hit or Miss

Mineralisation at Hit or Miss is associated with a series of parallel north to northwest striking quartz lodes that dip steeply towards the west. Quartz lodes are hosted by dominantly felsic volcanic rocks and are accompanied by widespread copper mineralisation.

In the September 2024 quarter, the Company drilled 35 RC holes for 3,487 metres to test strike extensions to known mineralisation at Hit or Miss. Drilling intersected significant tungsten mineralisation on the southern, northern and eastern strike extensions.

Better intersections included the following:

  • 7 metres at 0.38% WO3 from 25 metres in HCRC067 and 5 metres at 0.44% WO3 from 12 metres in HCRC079 associated with the southern strike extension,

  • 17 metres at 0.43% WO3 from 1 metre in HCRC078 and 5 metres at 0.94% WO3 from 34 metres in HCRC077 associated with the eastern strike extension,

  • 14 metres at 0.12% WO3 from 28 metres in HCRC092 and 20 metres at 0.09% WO3 from 2 metres in HCRC097 associated with the northern strike extension

Figure 4: RC drilling completed in September/October 2024 at Hatches Creek (yellow circles).

Treasure

At Treasure, tungsten mineralisation forms continuous lodes which can be traced over 460 metres of strike. The lodes occupy shears hosted by felsic to intermediate volcanic rocks, strike north-south and dip steeply towards the west.

Mineralisation in the southern half of the prospect is associated with multiple north striking quartz lodes within a 30 to 50 metre wide zone. Tungsten mineralisation in the southern zone is also accompanied by low grade copper mineralisation. Tungsten mineralisation in the northern half of the prospect is associated with a single high-grade zone dipping steeply towards the west. Mineralisation is hosted by felsic volcanic units.

In the September 2024 quarter, the Company drilled 12 RC holes for 1,242 metres to confirm continuity of tungsten mineralisation present at Treasure. Drilling intersected significant tungsten mineralisation at target depths and confirmed continuity of mineralised structures over 350 metres of strike. Intersections included the following:

  • 5 metres at 2.05 % WO3 from 71 metres in HCRC085,

  • 7 metres at 1.39% WO3 from 88 metres in HCRC086,

  • 15 metres at 0.44% WO3 from 103 metres in HCRC110,

  • 9 metres at 0.67% WO3 from 131 metres in HCRC083

Wolfram Hill

Three targets were drilled on Wolfram Hill in close proximity to each other. These were the Green Diamond, Black Diamond and Bonanza prospects.

Green Diamond

The Green Diamond group consists of an almost continuous line of historic workings extending over 500 metres of strike. Mineralisation is hosted by massive well-sorted quartz sandstone that dips steeply towards the south. Mineralisation is parallel to bedding with individual lodes commonly bifurcating.

The Main Lode is the most significant and consists of a series of quartz veins and splays within a 1 -2 metre shear that dip at 45-60° towards the south. Wolframite is the dominant tungsten mineral accompanied by varying amounts of scheelite and copper.

In 2017, GWR drilled one RC hole at Green Diamond intersecting multiple zones of tungsten mineralisation in a 100 metre-wide corridor. In September/October 2024, the Company drilled 7 RC holes for 834 metres to test strike extension at Green Diamond. Drilling intersected significant mineralisation over 300 metres of strike that is open to the west, east and down dip.

Three styles of mineralisation are present. The first style of mineralisation is narrow high-grade zones hosted by fine grained sediments dipping steeply towards the south. Intersections from this style of mineralisation included:

  • 4 metres at 1.45 % WO3 and 0.16% Cu from 54 metres in HCRC152,

  • 4 metres at 1.13% WO3 and 0.02% Cu from 80 metres in HCRC116,

  • 2 metres at 1.84% WO3 and 0.62% Cu from 44 metres in HCRC115,

  • 4 metres at 0.54% WO3 and 0.01% Cu from 93 metres in HCRC151.

The second style is broad zones of low to medium grade tungsten-copper mineralisation associated with the Pedlar Gabbro/sediment contact with a shallower (25 - 40°) southerly dip. Intersections from this style of mineralisation included:

  • 37 metres at 0.14 % WO3 and 0.30% Cu from 0 metre including 19 metres at 0.20% WO3 and 0.34% Cu from 15 metre in HCRC116,

  • 26 metres at 0.12% WO3 and 0.21% Cu from 0 metre in HCRC151,

  • 19 metres at 0.11% WO3 and 0.40% Cu from 0 metre in HCRC152,

  • 20 metres at 0.10% WO3 and 0.31% Cu from 0 metre in HCRC117.

The third style is a single intersection of high-grade copper mineralisation associated with fine grained sediments that assayed 3 metres at 6.30% Cu from 68 metres. The geometry of this zone is unknown.

Black Diamond

The Black Diamond group consists of three lodes and several parallel quartz reefs that outcrop over 250 metres of strike. The lodes are hosted by sandstone, quartzite, greywacke, and siltstone striking eastnortheast and dipping at 60-80° to the south. Tungsten is associated with dominantly wolframite and minor amounts of scheelite, bismutite, and malachite.

In 2017, GWR drilled three RC holes at Black Diamond to test the Main Lode, Number 3 Lode and South Lode intersecting significant tungsten mineralisation. In October 2024, the Company drilled 5 RC holes to test strike extension at Black Diamond. Drilling intersected fine-grained sediments and two 10 - 20 metre thick mafic intrusive units that dip shallowly towards the south. Stronger tungsten mineralisation was intersected in sediments adjacent to or within the mafic units over a strike length of 200 metres. Mineralisation remains open to the west, east and down dip. Better intersections included the following:

  • 14 metres at 0.14% WO3 from 0 metre in HCRC154,

  • 3 metres at 0.81% WO3 from 104 metres in HCRC155,

  • 6 metres at 0.36% WO3 from 23 metres in HCRC157,

  • 4 metres at 0.59% WO3 from 50 metres in HCRC158.

Bonanza

The Bonanza Group is situated about 100 metres south-west of the Black Diamond Mine and 50-100 metres north of the western end of the Green Diamond Group. The group extends over 230 metres in a northeasterly direction and consists of numerous lodes, of which the Bonanza Lode is the most important. Mineralisation is hosted by quartz sandstone and greywacke and is dominantly wolframite with minor scheelite, copper and bismuth minerals.

In 2017, GWR drilled one RC hole at Bonanza to test the Main Lode and intersected high-grade tungsten mineralisation associated with the Main Lode. A second parallel structure was intersected assaying 5 metres at 0.10 % WO3 from 6 metres.

In September/October 2024, the Company drilled 6 RC holes to test strike extensions at Bonanza. Drilling intersected multiple mineralised structures over 160 metres of strike that dip steeply towards the south and are open to the west, east and down dip. Better intersections included the following:

  • 5 metres at 1.51% WO3 from 109 metres in HCRC089,

  • 8 metres at 0.82% WO3 from 32 metre in HCRC087,

  • 6 metres at 0.81% WO3 from 19 metres in HCRC088,

  • 6 metres at 0.60% WO3 from 49 metre in HCRC088.

Maiden Hatches Creek Mineral Resource Estimate

In March 2025, Tungsten Mining engaged Cube Consulting Pty Ltd to undertake a maiden Mineral Resource Estimate for the Hit or Miss, Treasure and Wolfram Hill deposits lying within the Hatches Creek Project.

The Mineral Resource Estimate is close to completion and will be reported early in the June Quarter.

Watershed Project, Far North, Queensland

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. Former project owner, Vital Metals Limited (Vital Metals) 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% WO 3 comprising 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 Vital Metals (VML) ASX announcement dated 4 July 2018 – Watershed Mineral Resources Restatement JORC Code 2012).

Big Hill Project, Eastern Pilbara, WA

The Big Hill Project area is located approximately 30km northeast of the Nullagine township in the Eastern Pilbara of Western Australia. The Project contains the Big Hill deposit where 22,871 metres of diamond and RC drilling have defined a JORC-2012 Mineral Resource Estimate totalling 38.5Mt at 0.09% WO3 (0.05% WO3 cut-off) comprising an Indicated Resource of 15.8Mt at 0.11% WO3 and an Inferred Resource of 22.7Mt at 0.09% 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. In June 2023, DMIRS approved a 3 year extension to Retention License R46/3.

Subsequent to quarter end, the tenements were surrender and all activity on the Project ceased. Refer to ASX announcement 24 April 2025 ‘ Big Hill and Kilba Project Update ”.

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 Estimate totalling 7.2Mt at 0.19% WO3 (0.05% WO3 cut-off) comprising an Indicated Resource of 5.7Mt at 0.20% WO3 and an Inferred Resource of 1.5Mt at 0.15% WO3.

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

Subsequent to quarter end, the tenements were surrender and all activity on the Project ceased. Refer to ASX announcement 24 April 2025 ‘ Big Hill and Kilba Project Update ”.

About Tungsten Mining

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

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

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

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