KEY ASSUMPTIONS AND JORC CODE REQUIREMENTS

Mineral resources are reported inclusive of ore reserves. Mining production data up to 31 March 2019 and all exploration information has been included. Mineral resources have been depleted for mining to 31 March 2019.

The mineral resources have been classified in accordance with the guidelines set out in the JORC Code.

The full mineral resource estimate for the Renison Tin Project is tabulated in Table 1.

Material information for the individual deposits, including a summary of material information, the Assessment and Reporting Criteria in accordance with JORC Code requirements, is included in Appendix A to this announcement.

Summary of material information

A summary of material information contained in Appendix A is provided below:

Geology and geological interpretation: Renison is one of the world's largest operating underground tin mines and Australia's largest primary tin producer. Renison is the largest of three major Skarn, carbonate replacement, pyrrhotite-cassiterite deposits within western Tasmania. The Renison Mine area is situated in the Dundas Trough, a province underlain by a thick sequence of Neoproterozoic- Cambrian siliciclastic and volcaniclastic rocks. At Renison, there are three shallow-dipping dolomite horizons which host replacement mineralisation. The major structure associated with tin mineralisation at Renison, the Federal Basset Fault, was formed during the forceful emplacement of the Pine Hill Granite during the Devonian and is also an important source of tin mineralisation.

Drilling techniques, sampling and sub-sampling techniques: The bulk of the data used in resource calculations at Renison has been gathered from diamond core using NQ2, LTK60 and LTK48 sizes. This core is geologically logged and subsequently halved for sampling. Drill hole samples may be whole-cored to streamline the core handling process if required. Each development face/round is horizontally chip sampled with the sampling intervals being domained by geological constraints. Sludge drilling is performed with an underground production drill rig (64mm diameter hole). It is an open hole drilling method using water as the flushing medium.

Criteria for classification: Resources are classified in line with JORC guidelines utilising a combination of various estimation derived parameters, the input data and geological/mining knowledge. This approach considers all relevant factors and reflects the Competent Person's view of the deposit. At Renison, material classified as Measured must have development (with face samples) within 20m. Indicated Mineral Resource must have sufficient grade and geological continuity with drill hole intersections generally between 40m and 20m apart. Inferred Mineral Resource is material that is defined by drill holes greater than 40m apart. Geological continuity may be present but the grade estimate is lower in confidence.

Sample analysis method: Samples are dried at 90°C, then crushed to <3mm, samples are then riffle split to obtain a sub sample of approximately 100g which is then pulverized to 90% passing 75um. 2g of the pulp sample is then weighed with 12g of reagents including a binding agent, the weighed sample is then pulverized again for one minute. The sample is then compressed into a pressed powder tablet for introduction to the XRF. Sn, As and Cu have a detection limit 0.01%, Fe and S detection limits are 0.1%. Each XRF batch of twenty consists of one blank, one internal standard, one duplicate and a replicate. Anomalous assay results are re-assayed to ensure quality control.

Estimation methodology: All modelling and estimation work undertaken by Bluestone Mines Tasmania Joint Venture Pty Limited (''BMTJV'') is carried out via Leapfrog and Surpac Vision software by creating three dimensional ore body wireframes using sectional techniques. Drill hole intersections within the three dimensional wireframes are composited and statistical analysis is conducted to determine appropriate search parameters within individual domains.

model is created and grade estimation is undertaken using ordinary Kriging estimation methods. The resource is then depleted using mining voids and subsequently classified in line with JORC guidelines as above.

Cut-off grades: The resource reporting cut-off grade is 0.7% Sn at Renison.

Mining and metallurgical methods and parameters: The Renison mine predominantly applies up- hole benching and open stoping mining methods with (in some cases), post fill and cemented rock fill to fill voids. The weighted average mining dilution is 14% at zero grade. Minimum widths for underground development are 4.5m and stoping minimum widths are 2.2m. Mining recoveries are generally between 75 and 100% with the weighted average recovery for the reserve model being 89%. No inferred resources are included within either the reserve or the mining plan.

The Renison mine produces a tin concentrate of grade varying between 50-60% Sn with internal process designed to reduce penalty metals such as iron, sulphur, tungsten and copper. The metallurgical process is complex and applies several stages of gravity-type concentration as well as sulphide and oxide flotation, regrinding and acid leach methods. The metallurgical recovery is estimated based on regression analysis of grade recovery curves from the actual processing of ores in the plant. Metallurgical recoveries on the various ore and grades were considered as part of the cut-off grade analysis.

COMPARISON OF MINERAL RESOURCES

Tables 2 compares the 2018 mineral resource estimate with the updated mineral resource estimate as at 31 March 2019 for the Renison Bell. YTPAH has a 50% share of the mineral resource estimate shown in Table 2. It was reported that the difference between the mineral resource estimate for Renison Bell at

31 March 2019 and 31 March 2018 include the following modifications:

  1. All drilling data, development face and sludge data obtained between 31 March 2018 and 31 March 2019 has been included in the model; and
  2. Updates to all wireframe models based on this data.

The mineral resource estimate for Mt Bischoff is unchanged from 2017 and the Rentails mineral resource estimate is unchanged from 2018.
