Quarterly Activities Report

For the Quarter Ended 31 March 2016

Carbine Tungsten Limited

ACN 115 009 106

Registered Office & Principal Place of Business:

50 Scott Street, Bungalow QLD 4870; Tel: +61 7 4052 2400; Fax: +61 7 4052 2444 (ASX: CNQ)

HIGHLIGHTS

  • On 2 April 2016 subsequent to the end of the quarter, the Company received a Research and Development (R&D) Tax Offset from the Australian Taxation Office for the 2015 Financial Year of AUD $769,717. This R&D tax offset was received as a result of the Company conducting experimental activities to develop a unique process to treat tungsten tailings and mineralised waste stockpiles at Mt Carbine that can be utilised to efficiently produce a marketable grade of Tungstic Trioxide (WO3). The funds received will be used for the ongoing working capital requirements as the Company.

  • Carbine Tungsten Limited ("the Company" or "Carbine") announced on 11 March 2016 that it had placed 49,300,000 of the shortfall shares pertaining to the Non-Renounceable Entitlements Offer on the following basis:

    • 9,300,000 shares issued at $0.025 per share raising $232,500.

    • Remaining 40,000,000 shares were issued to Lanstead Capital LP ("Lanstead") in accordance with the Tranche B Subscription Agreement announced to the market on 20 November 2015.

  • Mt Carbine EPM 14871 renewed on 16 March 2016 for a five year term commencing 13 December 2015.

  • The Company has been investigating an innovative and novel metals extraction processing technology which it is reviewing to see if it fits in with its broader research and development plans and form part of its continuing research and development program.

EXECUTIVE SUMMARY

The Company wishes to thank those shareholders who supported the shortfall placement from the Non Renounceable Entitlements Offer which raised $232,500. This has allowed the Company to proceed with its Tranche "B" subscription with the UK corporate funding and investment group, Lanstead. The Board would like to reiterate its thanks to both Lanstead and all participating shareholders for their support.

Carbine was also very pleased to receive approval for a further five year renewal term for its existing exploration leases from the Department of Natural Resources and Mines in Queensland. The exploration permits surround the existing Mt Carbine mine lease area which has an existing JORC 2012 compliant resource and has displayed surface strike prospects that extend from the existing pit and mining lease area for approximately 2.2km into the renewed exploration permit area. Securing these permits with such good prospects for a further five year term is an important step in the Company's mid to long term development plans for its world class Mt Carbine tungsten mine.

The Company's research and development activities conducted during the 2014-2015 financial year have resulted in an R&D Tax Offset amount of $769,717 being received in early April 2016. This tax offset helps to support the Company's cash position and will assist in funding further research and development activities. The Company has also been actively evaluating an innovative metals extraction technology, which shows strong potential as a highly efficient means of metals extraction and consideration is currently being given to its inclusion into the Company's current R&D program.

The Company has also been conducting due diligence activities to assess the business potential for acquiring the long term Mt Carbine quarrying operation which is operating within the mine lease area. The existing quarry operation has been utilising the waste rock material from past mining activities and is seen as a symbiotic business opportunity for the future stockpile and hard rock mining activities at the Mt Carbine mine site. The acquisition and business model development is progressing well and awaits further detailed clarifications from the quarry owners.

USD

The tungsten market has seen a gradual recovery of the Ammonia Paratungstate ("APT") price over the past quarter with a number of Chinese internal tenders, at below market price, failing to be taken up within China. It would appear that the market has reached its bottom and the APT price is now steadily increasing. Some analysts' reports are indicating that Chinese mine supply of tungsten concentrate has been significantly reduced and the bottoming and increase in APT price is starting to better reflect the market demand and supply cost dynamics. Many existing or new non-Chinese mines are presently operating at a loss and some new and high production cost operators are likely to fail unless pricing increases substantively in the near term. Mt Carbine with its past, proven, low operating cost and historically successful operating credentials represents the best solution for secure profitable, long term western tungsten supply.
