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 £4.5m (3.5m in equity and a further £1m 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 £4.5m (£3.5million in Equity and £1 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 (£) 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 and voting rights	Country of incorporation	Nature of activities
Greenhills Resources Ltd	100%	Guernsey	Holding company
Mokopane Tin Company (Pty) Ltd	100%	South Africa	Holding company
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.

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 £2,035,273 (2016: £1,694,843).

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.

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 £0.493m.

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 £0.012m ($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 (£) 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 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 Pamish Group comprises Pamish Investments No.71 (Pty) Ltd and the following subsidiary

Company	Equity holding and voting rights	Country of incorporation	Nature of activities
Zaaiplaats Mining (Pty) Ltd	74%	South Africa	Property owning

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.

2.         Subsequent events

On 8 November 2017, the Pamish Group was acquired by the Afritin group which was admitted to AIM on the same date. For the year ended February 2018, the Pamish group will therefore be reported as part of the Afritin group's consolidated
