Tungsten Mining NL • Half Year Financial Report 31 December 2024
Condensed notes to the consolidated financial statements
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 2024, which has been prepared in accordance with AASB 134 Interim Financial Reporting and the Corporations Act 2001 and this financial report was authorised for issue in accordance with a resolution of the directors on 4 March 2025.
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 2024 and considered with any public announcements made by Tungsten Mining NL during and subsequent to the half-year ended 31 December 2024 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 2024 but determined that their application to the financial statements is either not relevant or not material.
Going Concern
The financial report has been prepared on a going concern basis, which contemplates the continuity of normal business activity and the realisation of assets and settlement of liabilities in the normal course of business. During the half-year ended 31 December 2024, the Group incurred a loss before tax of $4,245,289 (31 December 2023: $2,824,908) and net cash outflows from operating and investing activities of $8,261,965 (31 December 2023: $2,856,897). As at 31 December 2024, the Group had $4,215,467 (30 June 2024: $8,067,582) in cash and cash equivalents and net assets of $31,887,140 (30 June 2024: $27,375,498).
The Group at the date of this report, had $4.25 million Convertible Notes on issue with a maturity date of 18 December 2025. These Notes may be converted into ordinary shares of the Company at $0.055 per share or the Company must repay $4.25 million plus unpaid interest at maturity date. Refer note 9 for more details.
Whilst not immediately required, the Group will need to raise additional funds to meet its planned and budgeted exploration expenditure as well as regular corporate overheads. The Group's capacity to raise additional funds will be impacted by the success of the ongoing exploration activities and market conditions. Additional sources of funding available to the Group include a capital raising via preferential issues to existing shareholders or placements to new and existing investors. If necessary, the Group can delay exploration expenditure and the directors can also institute cost saving measures to further reduce corporate and administrative costs.
However, should the above planned activities to raise or conserve capital not be successful, there exists a material uncertainty surrounding the Group’s ability to continue as a going concern and, therefore, realise its assets and dispose of its liabilities in the ordinary course of business and at the amounts stated in the financial report.
Judgments and Estimates
Estimates and assumptions are continually evaluated and are based management’s experience and other factors, including expectations of future events that are believed to be reasonable under the circumstances. Uncertainty about these assumptions and estimates could result in outcomes that require a material adjustment to the carrying amount of assets or liabilities affected in future periods.
During the half-year ended 31 December 2024, the Group has identified an additional area discussed below where significant judgments, estimates and assumptions was required apart from those disclosed in the annual report for the year ended 30 June 2024.

Tungsten Mining NL • Half Year Financial Report 31 December 2024
Condensed notes to the consolidated financial statements
NOTE 1: BASIS OF PREPARATION OF THE HALF-YEARLY FINANCIAL REPORT (CONTINUED)
Judgments and Estimates (continued)
Environmental rehabilitation provisions
A provision has been made for the present value of anticipated costs for future restoration of mineral leases. The provision includes future cost estimates associated with rehabilitating areas of disturbance caused through the exploration and mining activities of the Group. The calculation of this provision requires assumptions such as the timing and cost estimates.
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 the annual financial report for the year ended 30 June 2024 on a whole of entity basis.

INDEPENDENT AUDITOR’S REVIEW REPORT TO THE MEMBERS OF TUNGSTEN MINING NL
Report on the Half-Year Financial Report
Conclusion
We have reviewed the half-year financial report of Tungsten Mining NL (“the Company”) and its subsidiaries (“the Group”), which comprises the consolidated statement of financial position as at 31 December 2024, the consolidated statement of profit or loss and other comprehensive income, consolidated statement of changes in equity and consolidated statement of cash flows for the half-year ended on that date, condensed notes comprising a summary of significant accounting policies and other explanatory information, and the directors’ declaration.
Based on our review, which is not an audit, we have not become aware of any matter that causes us to believe that the accompanying half-year financial report of Tungsten Mining NL does not comply with the Corporations Act 2001 including:
-
(a) giving a true and fair view of Group’s financial position as at 31 December 2024 and of its performance for the half-year ended on that date; and
-
(b) complying with Accounting Standard AASB 134 Interim Financial Reporting and the Corporations Regulations 2001 .
Basis for Conclusion
We conducted our review in accordance with ASRE 2410 Review of a Financial Report Performed by the Independent Auditor of the Entity . Our responsibilities are further described in the Auditor’s Responsibilities for the Review of the Financial Report section of our report. We are independent of the Group in accordance with the auditor independence requirements of the Corporations Act 2001 and the ethical requirements of the Accounting Professional and Ethical Standards Board’s APES 110 Code of Ethics for Professional Accountants (including Independence Standards) (the Code) that are relevant to our audit of the annual financial report in Australia. We have also fulfilled our other ethical responsibilities in accordance with the Code.
We confirm that the independence declaration required by the Corporations Act 2001 has been given to the directors of the Company on 4 March 2025.
Material Uncertainty Regarding Going Concern
We draw attention to note 1 of the financial report, which describes that the financial report has been prepared on a going concern basis. During the half-year ended 31 December 2024, the Group incurred a loss before tax of $4,245,289 and net cash outflows from operating and investing activities of $8,261,965. As at 31 December 2024, the Group had $4,215,467 in cash and cash equivalents and net working capital deficit of $283,614.

The ability of the Group to continue as a going concern and meet its exploration, administration, and other commitments is dependent upon the future successful raising of necessary funding through equity or borrowings. In the event that the Group cannot raise further equity, or funding, Group may not be able to meet its liabilities as they fall due or realise its assets in the normal course of business.
Our conclusion is not modified in respect of this matter.
Responsibility of the Directors for the Financial Report
The directors of Tungsten Mining NL are responsible for the preparation of the half-year financial report that gives a true and fair view in accordance with Australian Accounting Standards and the Corporations Act 2001 and for such internal control as the directors determine is necessary to enable the preparation of the halfyear financial report that gives a true and fair view and is free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error.
Auditor’s Responsibility for the Review of the Financial Report
Our responsibility is to express a conclusion on the half-year financial report based on our review. ASRE 2410 requires us to conclude whether we have become aware of any matter that makes us believe that the half-year financial report is not in accordance with the Corporations Act 2001 including giving a true and fair view of the Group’s financial position as at 31 December 2024 and its performance for the half-year ended on that date, and complying with Accounting Standard AASB 134 Interim Financial Reporting and the Corporations Regulations 2001 .
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.
