AfriTin Mining Limited
("AfriTin" or the "Company" and with its subsidiaries the
"Group")
Unaudited Interim Results
for the Six Months Ended 31 August 2017
AfriTin Mining plc (AIM:ATM) announces its unaudited interim
results for its underlying subsidiaries for the six months ended 31
August 2017.
Key Highlights
-- Since the end of the period under review, AfriTin Mining
Limited was incorporated and acquired a portfolio of tin assets
following a demerger from Bushveld Minerals (AIM: BMN).
-- At the same time, AfriTin was admitted to trading on AIM, a
market of the London Stock Exchange having successfully raised
GBP4.5m (3.5m in equity and a further GBP1m in convertible loan
notes)
-- The Company's vision is to create a portfolio of world-class,
conflict-free, tin producing assets as the first pure tin company
listed in London
-- Afritin's flagship asset is the Uis tin mine in Namibia,
formerly one of the world's largest hard-rock opencast tin
mines
-- The Company is now positioned to expand its pilot plant
production at the Uis mine into a commercial operation before
completion of a definitive feasibility study for full scale
production
Commenting on the first set of interims for the company, Chief
Executive Officer, Anthony Viljoen stated "We are pleased to have
completed the Admission of AfriTin over the course of this year;
raising a good sum of money in an increasingly optimistic, but
still difficult market. The Company has built a strong management
team with the capabilities of bringing the Uis tin mine into
production and we will be driving the company towards cash flow in
as short a time frame as possible".
Summary
As required by the AIM Rules for Companies these interim
accounts update the financial information provided for the
individual entities that form the Group set out in the Company's
Admission Document dated 8 November 2017. As AfriTin was
incorporated on 1 September 2017 no financial information on this
company is provided but information on the underlying subsidiaries
- the Greenhills Group; the Dawnmin Group and Pamish Group are set
out below. Further details on the Group can be found in the
Company's Admission Document, which is on the Company's website
www.afritinmining.com.
Chief Executive's Statement
Introduction
I am pleased to report on the first set of interims for the
Company since its admission to AIM earlier this month. Following
AfriTin's Admission, the Company's technical team have been
prioritising final designs and procurement of key components for
our upgraded plant, and the pit design aspects of the project. I am
looking forward to providing shareholders with regular updates as
we look to progress our activities at Uis, our flagship project in
Namibia
Financing Activities
Afritin was incorporated on 1 September 2017 and, having
acquired the tin assets of Bushveld Minerals Limited and Naminco
Limited, was admitted to trading on AIM on 9 November 2017. We
successfully raised GBP4.5m (GBP3.5million in Equity and GBP1
million by way of a convertible loan note that converted into
ordinary shares upon admission) on Admission and will use the funds
to advance our mineral resource management and mine development
strategy with a particular focus on upgrading the pilot plant and
advancing to production as quickly as possible. We look forward to
providing further updates to shareholders in due course.
Strategy
The strategy of the Group, following Admission and as set out in
the Company's Admission Document, is to become a primary producer
of tin metal and concentrate and, through a consolidation of
further assets and potential smelting facilities, becoming a global
tin explorer and producer with a relative bias towards Africa. The
Placing and Admission are an important part of executing this
strategy. The critical component of this strategy lies in the
upgrading of the current pilot plant operation into a producer of
65 tonnes per month of tin concentrate. The Directors believe the
cash flows and test work conducted over the course of this
development will allow the Company to develop a significant
knowledge base to advance towards a bankable feasibility study and
an expanded plant production of up to 5000 tons per annum of tin
concentrate, grading at 65%.
The Tin Market
Tin is a highly versatile metal with its primary use being as a
substitute for lead as a solder in the electronics market. Overall,
global tin supply has been decreasing as older mines run short of
mineable reserves and a long lead time for the development of new
mines in difficult political geographies. The International Tin
research institute have predicted a sustained deficit of Tin supply
into the market. Afritin intends on exploiting this deficit by
bringing one of the largest open cast deposits of its kind into
full-scale production.
Prospects and Outlook
AfriTin's growth strategy is to focus on upgrading the pilot
plant at Uis and advancing to production as quickly as possible, in
the longer term the Company will also be seeking additional
acquisition opportunities as it seeks to deliver on its stated
strategy objective of becoming the African Tin Champion.
2017 has been a busy time in which we have completed
acquisitions, a fundraising and the Admission to AIM and I would
like to thank AfriTin's Board, employees, shareholders and
stakeholders for their ongoing commitment and support. I look
forward to a busy 2018.

GREENHILLS RESOURCES LIMITED: UNAUDITED NOTES
For the six months ending 31 August 2017
1. Accounting policies
The interim financial information comprises the financial
statements of Greenhills Resources Limited and its subsidiaries,
Mokopane Tin Company (Pty) Limited and Renetype (Pty) (Limited)
(together the "Greenhills Group") for the six month ended 31 August
2017 ended 28 February 2017 as if they formed a single entity
throughout the period.
These financial statements are presented in Pound Sterling (GBP)
because that is the currency the Group has raised funding on the
AIM market in the United Kingdom.
Basis of preparation
The results presented in this report are unaudited and they have
been prepared in accordance with the recognition and measurement
principles of International Financial Reporting Standards ('IFRS')
as adopted by the EU that are expected to be applicable to the
financial statements for the year ended 28 February 2018 and on the
basis of the accounting policies to be used in those financial
statements.
The interim financial information does not include all of the
information required for full annual financial statements and
accordingly, whilst the interim financial information has been
prepared in accordance with the recognition and measurement
principles of IFRS, it cannot be construed as being in full
compliance with IFRS. The financial information contained in this
announcement does not constitute statutory accounts as defined by
the Companies (Guernsey) Law 2008.
Corporate information and principal activities
The Greenhill Group comprises:
Company Equity holding Country of Nature of activities
and voting incorporation
rights
Greenhills Resources Ltd 100% Guernsey Holding company
Mokopane Tin Company (Pty) 100% South Africa Holding company
Ltd
Renetype (Pty) Ltd 74% South Africa Tin exploration
The principal activities of the Greenhills Group are mining
development, investment, administrative and all activities related
to the mining industry.
GREENHILLS RESOURCES LIMITED: UNAUDITED NOTES
For the six months ending 31 August 2017
Going concern
In preparing the Interim financial information, the Directors
have considered the current financial position of the Greenhills
Group and the likely future cash flows for the period to 12 months
from the date of this report. As with all exploration groups at
this stage of the resource development cycle and with no cash flow
from production, funding is derived principally through equity
financing. In adopting the going concern basis the Directors have
considered the receipt of the net proceeds and other financing from
the placing of shares by the Company upon admission to AIM.
Intangible exploration and evaluation assets
All costs associated with mineral exploration and evaluation
including the costs of acquiring prospecting licences; mineral
production licences and annual licences fees; rights to explore;
topographical, geological, geochemical and geophysical studies;
exploratory drilling; trenching, sampling and activities to
evaluate the technical feasibility and commercial viability of
extracting a mineral resource; are capitalised as intangible
exploration and evaluation assets and subsequently measured at
cost.
If an exploration project is successful, the related
expenditures will be transferred at cost to property, plant and
equipment and amortised over the estimated life of the commercial
ore reserves on a unit of production basis (with this charge being
taken through profit or loss). Where a project does not lead to the
discovery of commercially viable quantities of mineral resources
and is relinquished, abandoned, or is considered to be of no
further commercial value to the Greenhills Group, the related costs
are recognised in profit or loss.
The recoverability of deferred exploration costs is dependent
upon the discovery of economically viable ore reserves, the ability
of the Greenhills Group to obtain necessary financing to complete
the development of ore reserves and future profitable production or
proceeds from the extraction or disposal thereof.
Impairment of exploration and evaluation assets
Whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the
carrying amount of an asset may not be recoverable, the asset is
reviewed for impairment. Assets are also reviewed for impairment at
each balance sheet date in accordance with IFRS 6. An asset's
carrying value is written down to its estimated recoverable amount
(being the higher of the fair value less costs to sell and value in
use) if that is less than the asset's carrying value. Impairment
losses are recognised in profit or loss.
An impairment review is undertaken when indicators of impairment
arise but typically when one of the following circumstances
applies:
-- unexpected geological occurrences that render the resources uneconomic; or
-- title to the asset is compromised; or
-- variations in mineral prices that render the project uneconomic; or
-- variations in the foreign currency rates; or
-- the Greenhills Group determine that they no longer wish to
continue to evaluate or develop the field.
GREENHILLS RESOURCES LIMITED: UNAUDITED NOTES
For the six months ending 31 August 2017
Use of estimates and judgements
In the application of the Greenhills Group accounting policies,
the Directors are required to make judgements, estimates and
assumptions about the carrying amounts of assets and liabilities
that are not readily apparent from other sources. The estimates and
associated assumptions are based on historical experience and other
factors that are considered to be relevant. Actual results may
differ from these estimates.
Estimates and judgements are continually evaluated. Revisions to
accounting estimates are recognised in the year in which the
estimates are revised if the revision affects only that year, or in
the year of revision and in future years if the revision affects
both current and future years.
Management has chosen to organise the entity around differences
in products and services. As the financial information relates to
one product and service (Tin), the Interim financial information
has been prepared on that basis.
Management's critical estimates and judgements in preparing the
interim financial information relate to the going concern
assumption (see above) and the valuation of intangible exploration
assets of GBP2,035,273 (2016: GBP1,694,843).
Determining whether an exploration and evaluation asset is
impaired requires an assessment of whether there are any indicators
of impairment, including by reference to specific impairment
indicators prescribed in IFRS 6 Exploration for and Evaluation of
Mineral Resources. If there is any indication of potential
impairment, an impairment test is required based on value in use of
the asset. The valuation of intangible exploration assets is
dependent upon the discovery of economically recoverable deposits
which, in turn, is dependent on future iron ore and tin prices,
future capital expenditures and environmental and regulatory
restrictions. The Directors have concluded that there are no
indications of impairment in respect of the carrying value of
intangible assets at 31 August 2017 based on planned future
development of the projects and current and forecast commodity
prices.

DAWNMIN GROUP: UNAUDITED NOTES
1. Accounting Policies
Dawnmin Africa Investments (Pty) Ltd ("Dawnmin") was
incorporated on 5(th) February 2014 and is domiciled in Namibia.
The address of its registered office and principal place of
business is Shop 48, Second Floor, Old Power Station Complex,
Armstrong Street, Windhoek, Namibia. The principal activities of
Dawnmin and its subsidiaries (the "Dawmnin Group") are set out in
corporate information and principal activities below.
These financial statements are presented in Pound Sterling (GBP)
because it is the currency the Group has raised funding on the AIM
market in the United Kingdom.
Basis of preparation
The results presented in this report are unaudited and they have
been prepared in accordance with the recognition and measurement
principles of International Financial Reporting Standards ('IFRS')
as adopted by the EU that are expected to be applicable to the
financial statements for the year ended 28 February 2018 and on the
basis of the accounting policies to be used in those financial
statements.
The interim financial information does not include all of the
information required for full annual financial statements and
accordingly, whilst the interim financial information has been
prepared in accordance with the recognition and measurement
principles of IFRS, it cannot be construed as being in full
compliance with IFRS. The financial information contained in this
announcement does not constitute statutory accounts as defined by
the Companies (Guernsey) Law 2008.
Corporate information and principal activities
As at 28 February 2017, 31 August 2016 and 31 August 2017, the
subsidiaries of Dawnmin were as follows:
Company Equity holding Country of Nature of activities
and voting incorporation
rights
Guineafowl Investments 85% Namibia Holding of tin
Twenty Seven (Pty) Ltd license
Going concern
The directors have considered the current financial position of
the Dawnmin Group and the likely future cash flows for the period
of 12 months following the approval of this interim financial
information in preparing the interim financial information. As with
all exploration groups at this stage of the resource development
cycle and with no cash-flow from production, funding is derived
principally through equity financing. In adopting the going concern
basis the Directors have considered the receipt of the net proceeds
from the placing of shares by the Company upon admission to
AIM.
Intangible exploration and evaluation assets
All costs associated with mineral exploration and evaluation
including the costs of acquiring prospecting licences; mineral
production licences and annual licences fees; rights to explore;
topographical, geological, geochemical and geophysical studies;
exploratory drilling; trenching, sampling and activities to
evaluate the technical feasibility and commercial viability of
extracting a mineral resource; are capitalised as intangible
exploration and evaluation assets and subsequently measured at
cost.
If an exploration project is successful, the related
expenditures will be transferred at cost to property, plant and
equipment and amortised over the estimated life of the commercial
ore reserves on a unit of production basis (with this charge being
taken through profit or loss). Where a project does not lead to the
discovery of commercially viable quantities of mineral resources
and is relinquished, abandoned, or is considered to be of no
further commercial value to the Dawnmin Group, the related costs
are recognised in profit or loss.
The recoverability of deferred exploration costs is dependent
upon the discovery of economically viable ore reserves, the ability
of the Dawnmin Group to obtain necessary financing to complete the
development of ore reserves and future profitable production or
proceeds from the extraction or disposal thereof.
Impairment of exploration and evaluation assets
Whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the
carrying amount of an asset may not be recoverable, the asset is
reviewed for impairment. Assets are also reviewed for impairment at
each balance sheet date in accordance with IFRS 6. An asset's
carrying value is written down to its estimated recoverable amount
(being the higher of the fair value less costs to sell and value in
use) if that is less than the asset's carrying value. Impairment
losses are recognised in profit or loss.
An impairment review is undertaken when indicators of impairment
arise but typically when one of the following circumstances
applies:
-- unexpected geological occurrences that render the resources uneconomic; or
-- title to the asset is compromised; or
-- variations in mineral prices that render the project uneconomic; or
-- variations in the foreign currency rates; or
-- the Group determines that it no longer wishes to continue to evaluate or develop the field.
Use of estimates and judgements
In the application of the Dawnmin Group's accounting policies,
the Directors are required to make judgements, estimates and
assumptions about the carrying amounts of assets and liabilities
that are not readily apparent from other sources. The estimates and
associated assumptions are based on historical experience and other
factors that are considered to be relevant. Actual results may
differ from these estimates.
Estimates and judgements are continually evaluated. Revisions to
accounting estimates are recognised in the year in which the
estimates are revised if the revision affects only that year, or in
the year of revision and in future years if the revision affects
both current and future years.
Management's critical estimates and judgements in preparing the
interim financial information relate to the going concern
assumption (see above) and the valuation of intangible exploration
assets of GBP0.493m.
Determining whether an exploration and evaluation asset is
impaired requires an assessment of whether there are any indicators
of impairment, including by reference to specific impairment
indicators prescribed in IFRS 6 Exploration for and Evaluation of
Mineral Resources. If there is any indication of potential
impairment, an impairment test is required based on value in use of
the asset. The valuation of intangible exploration assets is
dependent upon the discovery of economically recoverable deposits
which, in turn, is dependent on future iron ore and tin prices,
future capital expenditures and environmental and regulatory
restrictions. The directors have concluded that there are no
indications of impairment in respect of the carrying value of
intangible assets at 31 August 2017 based on planned future
development of the projects and current and forecast commodity
prices. An annual fee of GBP0.012m ($N200 000) is payable to the
SMU (Small Miners of Uis).

PAMISH INVESTMENTS: UNAUDITED NOTES
For the six months ending 31 August 2017
1. Accounting policies
Basis of preparation
The Pamish Group, comprising Pamish Investments 71 Pty Ltd and
Zaaiplaats Pty Ltd represents the South African tin assets of
Bushveld Minerals and was under the common control of the same
beneficial owners and effectively operated as a group under common
management throughout the reporting periods. It did not form a
legal group or comprise a group as defined by International
Financial Reporting Standards. The Financial Information has
therefore been presented on an aggregated basis. Under this method
the assets, liabilities and results of the individual companies
have been aggregated (with intercompany transactions and balances
eliminated) to present the interim financial information as if the
Pamish Group had been under the control of a single common parent
company throughout the financial periods presented.
These financial statements are presented in Pound Sterling (GBP)
because that is the currency the Group has raised funding on the
AIM market in the United Kingdom.
The results presented in this report are unaudited and they have
been prepared in accordance with the recognition and measurement
principles of International Financial Reporting Standards ('IFRS')
as adopted by the EU that are expected to be applicable to the
financial statements for the year ended 28 February 2017 and on the
basis of the accounting policies to be used in those financial
statements.
The interim financial information does not include all of the

Corporate information and principal activities

and the following subsidiary
Company Equity holding Country of Nature of activities

Going concern
In preparing the Interim financial information, the Directors
have considered the current financial position of the Greenhills

exploration and evaluation assets and subsequently measured at
cost.
