Dividends

No amounts have been paid or declared by way of dividend by the Company during the half year or in the period to the date of this report.

Principal activities

The principal activity of the Company and its subsidiaries during the course of the half year continued to be the exploration and evaluation of mining projects.

Operating results

The Group’s cash position as at 31 December 2020 was $20,550,344 (Jun 2020: 22,956,290). The net loss of the Group for the half year to 31 December 2020 was $2,411,679 (Dec 2019: $7,883,208).

During the period, net cash used in operating and investing activities totalled $2,405,946 (Dec 2019: $7,347,998). Net cash flow from financing activities was $704,000 (Dec 2019: $1,205,702) from proceeds of exercised options for shares which are yet to be issued at 31 December 2020 and therefore treated as restricted cash until the share issue occurs. These shares were issued subsequent to the half year ended.

Review of operations

The Group continues to implement its strategy directed at building a tungsten business of scale, with a current resource inventory of 41 million MTU’s (metric tonne units) of WO3 (tungsten trioxide) and 71,000 tonnes of Mo (molybdenum), 1 million ounces of Au (gold), 44 million ounces of Ag (silver) and 92,000 tonnes of Cu (copper).

The Mt Mulgine Project remained the highest priority development project for the Group, responsible for the majority of activities. All study work required to finalise the Mt Mulgine Tungsten Project Pre-Feasibility Study (PFS) was completed during the period, with the PFS finding announced to the market in January 2021. The PFS confirmed the technical and financial viability of a 6Mtpa mining and processing operation for the Mt Mulgine Tungsten Project, with a declaration of maiden Ore Reserve Estimate of 140 million tonnes.

Tungsten Mining NL • Half Year Financial Report 31 December 2020

Condensed notes to the 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 2020, 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[th] March 2021.

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 2020 and considered with any public announcements made by Tungsten Mining NL during and subsequent to the half-year ended 31 December 2020 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 2020 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 the annual financial report for the year ended 30 June 2020 on a whole of entity basis.

Property leases

The above right-of-use assets relate to certain property leases entered into during prior years by the Group (refer Note 13). The right-of-use asset is measured at the amount equal to the lease liability at the inception of the lease and then this cost is amortised over the life of the lease. Right-of-use assets are measured at cost comprising the following:

  • the amount of the initial measurement of lease liability

  • any lease payments made at or before the commencement date less any lease incentives received.

  • any initial direct costs,

  • and restoration costs

Right-of-use assets are being depreciated over the lease term on a straight-line basis which is five years for both leases in place at 31 December 2020.

Property Leases

The above lease liabilities (refer Note 12) relate to certain property leases entered into in prior years by the Group.

The lease liability valuation was calculated at lease inception from the total lease payment obligations being discounted using the Group’s incremental borrowing rate. An incremental borrowing rate of 5.68% was based on a secured interest rate that would be apply if finance was sought for an amount and time period equivalent to the lease requirements of the Group. Each lease payment is allocated between the liability and finance cost. The finance cost is charged to profit or loss over the lease period.

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, which comprises the consolidated statement of financial position as at 31 December 2020, 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, 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 makes us 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 the consolidated entity’s financial position as at 31 December 2020 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 Company 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 5 March 2021.

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 half-year 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 Company’s financial position as at 31 December 2020 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 .

Independent auditor's review report

==> picture [114 x 15] intentionally omitted <==

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.
