Unaudited Interim Results

for the Six Months Ended 31 August 2018

AfriTin Mining Limited (AIM: ATM), a mining company with a portfolio of tin assets in Namibia and South Africa, is pleased to announce its interim results for the six months ended 31 August 2018.

This represents the first set of consolidated interim accounts for AfriTin which was incorporated on 1 September 2017. Accordingly, no comparative financial information is provided. However, comparative financial information for the underlying subsidiaries was provided to the market on 30 November 2017 and the first set of consolidated accounts for the Group were released to the market on 13 July 2018.

The information contained within this announcement is deemed by the Company to constitute inside information under the Market Abuse Regulation (EU) No. 596/2014.

Chief Executive Officer's Statement

Introduction

During the first half of this financial year, AfriTin has achieved a number of important milestones in line with the stated objectives in our November 2017 Admission Document. We continue to look towards the ultimate goal of first material through the pilot plant by the end of 2018. The update below provides further details of our recent activities.

Review of business

The AfriTin team has been working exceptionally hard to achieve our long-term objective at Uis, which is to become a tin development and production company and the only pure play tin-listed company on AIM and we remain on track to do so.

The first step in the development of the project involved verification, through local and regional geological mapping, of the historical SRK report that produced a 70-year life-of-mine plan. This work was then translated into a preliminary mine design plan for the first phase pilot production plant. A key result of the mapping program was the delineation of more than 80 new pegmatite bodies, which all display visible tin mineralisation, and which bodes well for future exploration initiatives.

As detailed in AfriTin's Admission Document, the purpose of phase 1 is to provide early cash flow to the Company and provide a platform to transition the project into a bankable feasibility study and ultimately, a phase 2 plant capable of producing 5 000 tonnes of tin concentrate per annum. As a result of the accelerated development of the flagship project, the board of directors believed it opportune to raise a further £6m to advance the construction of the plant, as well as initiate work on the bankable feasibility study and undertake a drilling program to bring the historic resources into JORC compliance. At the same time, the Company appointed Terence Goodlace to the board as a Non-Executive Director. Mr Goodlace's mining career has spanned more than 40 years and brings a wealth of mining expertise to an existing strong board of directors.

Construction of the phase 1 plant has progressed well with the appointment of local contractors - construction is on schedule and the first run-of-mine material to the plant is expected by year-end. The results from the regional mapping program have also assisted the Company in identifying further licence areas of interest and acquisition.

The Company entered into an agreement with MRI AG, a trading company, to establish a buying station for local artisanal workers. The purpose of this is to establish economic activity on the ground as part of a community upliftment program. The project is going well and the Company has already noted an increase in the amount of concentrate coming through the buying station.

Outlook

The directors believe the next 6 months will be transformational for the Company. Construction of the pilot plant should be concluded in this period and the Directors aim to finalize verification drilling and a JORC-compliant resource at Uis based upon the 1980s SRK resource statements by early 2019. Once the Company begins to produce tin concentrate from the pilot plant, it is anticipated that it will continue to expand its footprint in the region through acquisition and that further work will be conducted on the other mining licence areas that form part of the AfriTin Portfolio.

Events after the reporting period

Post the period under review, AfriTin was pleased to announce the acquisition of Tantalum Investment ("TI") which contains two exploration licenses for tin, tantalum and other associated minerals. Included in the TI exploration licences is the Brandberg West Mine, mined for tin and tungsten by SWACO until the 1980s, the latter also containing additional Cu and Au mineralisation. The acquisition was made for £850 000 which was satisfied by way of issue of 25,000,000 ordinary shares in the Company, at a price of 3.40p. This is another positive step for the Company as we look to consolidate African tin assets and embark on a regional expansion drive in Namibia.

Anthony Viljoen, CEO

The Company anticipates releasing an operational update on or around 25 October 2018.

The company's registered office is 18-20 Le Pollet, St Peter Port, Guernsey, GY1 1WH and operates from Illovo Edge Office Park, 2nd Floor, Building 3, Corner Harries and Fricker Road, Illovo, Johannesburg, 2116, South Africa.

The AfriTin Group comprises AfriTin Mining Limited and its subsidiaries as noted below.

The wholly-owned Guernsey subsidiary, Greenhills Resources Limited (GRL) was acquired by AfriTin by way of a Demerger Agreement with Bushveld Minerals Limited effective 8 November 2017.

These financial statements are presented in Pound Sterling (£) because that is the currency in which the Group has raised funding on the AIM market in the United Kingdom. Furthermore, Pound Sterling (£) is the functional currency of the ultimate holding company, AfriTin Mining Limited.

2. Significant accounting policies

Basis of accounting

The interim financial statements have been prepared using measurement and recognition criteria based on International Financial Reporting Standards (IFRS and IFRIC interpretations) issued by the International Accounting Standards Board (IASB) as adopted for use in the EU. The interim financial information has been prepared using the accounting policies which will be applied in the Group's statutory financial statements for the year ended 28 February 2019 and which were applied in the Group's statutory financial statements for the year ended 28 February 2018.

The Group has adopted the standards, amendments and interpretations effective for annual periods beginning on or after 1 March 2018. The adoption of these standards and amendments did not have a material effect on the financial statements of the Group. See Note 3.

The interim financial information for the six months to 31 August 2018 is unaudited and does not constitute statutory financial information. The statutory accounts for the year ended 28 February 2018 are available on the Company's website. The auditors' report on those accounts was unqualified.

The consolidated financial statements have been prepared under the historical cost convention. The preparation of financial statements in conformity with IFRS requires the use of certain critical accounting estimates. It also requires management to exercise judgement in the process of applying the Group's accounting policies. The areas involving a higher degree of judgement or complexity and areas where assumptions and estimates are significant to the consolidated financial statements are discussed in further detail in this note.

Going Concern

These financial statements have been prepared on a going concern basis. In arriving at this position the Directors have had regard to the fact that the AfriTin Group has sufficient cash and other assets to fund administrative and other committed expenditure for a period of not less than 12 months from the date of this report.

Critical accounting estimates and judgements

In the application of the 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.

The estimates and assumptions that have a significant risk of causing a material adjustment to the carrying amounts of the assets and liabilities within the next financial year are addressed below.

Impairment of exploration & evaluation assets

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 tin prices, future capital expenditures and environmental, regulatory restrictions and the successful renewal of licenses. The directors have concluded that there are no indications of impairment in respect of the carrying value of intangible assets at 31 August 2018 based on planned future development of the projects and current and forecast tin prices. Exploration and evaluation assets are disclosed fully in Note 8.

3. Adoption of new and revised standards

The Company adopted IFRS 9 "Financial Instruments" and IFRS 15 "Revenue from Customers" in the six-month period, following the standards becoming effective for periods commencing on or after 1 January 2018.

IFRS 9 "Financial instruments" addresses the classification and measurement of financial assets and financial liabilities and replaces the guidance in IAS 39 that relates to the classification and measurement of financial instruments. IFRS 9 retains but simplifies the mixed measurement model and establishes three primary measurement categories for financial assets: amortised cost, fair value through other comprehensive income (OCI) and fair value through profit or loss. The basis of classification depends on the entity's business model and the contractual cash flow characteristics of the financial asset. There is now a new expected credit loss model that replaces the incurred loss impairment model used in IAS 39. The Group has applied the modified retrospective approach to transition. The adoption of IFRS 9 did not result in any material change to the consolidated results of the Group. Following assessment of the consolidated financial assets no changes to classification of those financial assets was required. The Group has applied the expected credit loss impairment model to its financial assets.

IFRS 15 "Revenue from Customers" introduced a single framework for revenue recognition and clarified principles of revenue recognition. This standard modifies the determination of when to recognise revenue and how much revenue to recognise. The core principle is that an entity recognises revenue to depict the transfer of promised goods and services to the customer of an amount that reflects the consideration to which the entity expects to be entitled in exchange for those goods or services. The Group is not yet revenue-generating and therefore the adoption of IFRS 15 has not had an impact but will be relevant in future periods upon commencement of production and sales.

Accounting standards and interpretations not applied

Standards, amendments and interpretations to existing standards that are not yet effective and have not been early adopted by the Group:

* not yet endorsed by the EU

The Directors anticipate that the adoption of these Standards and Interpretations in future periods will have no material impact on the financial statements of the Group based on current operations.

4. Segmental reporting

The reporting segments are identified by the Directors of the Group (who are considered to be the chief operating decision-makers) by the way that the Group's operations are organised. As at 31 August 2018, the Group operated within two operating segments, tin exploration activities in Namibia and South Africa.

Segment results

The following is an analysis of the Group's results by reportable segment.

The reconciliation of segmental gross loss to the Group's loss before tax is as follows:

Unallocated costs mainly comprise head office corporate costs.

Other segmental information

Unallocated net assets are mainly comprised of cash and cash equivalents which are managed at a corporate level.

5. Expenses by nature

The loss for the period has been arrived at after charging:

6. Taxation

Accumulated losses in the subsidiary undertakings for which there is an unrecognised deferred tax asset are £556 281.

7. Loss per share

From continuing operations

The basic loss per share of 0.11 pence, is calculated using the total loss for the period attributable to the owners of the Company of £428 951 and the weighted average number of shares in issue during the period of 391 593 793. Potentially dilutive instruments comprise 22 500 000 share options and 1 897 922 warrants. However, such instruments are anti-dilutive given the loss for the periods presented. As a result the diluted loss per share is equal to the basic loss per share.

8. Intangible exploration and evaluation assets

The Company's subsidiary, Greenhills Resources Limited has the following:

i) a 74% interest in Renetype Pty Limited ("Renetype") which holds an interest in Prospecting Right 2205.

ii) an 85% interest in Guinea Fowl Investments 27 Pty Limited ("Guinea Fowl") which holds an interest in mining rights, ML129, ML133 and ML134.

iii) a 50% interest in Jaxson 641 Pty Limited ("Jaxson") which holds an interest in Prospecting Right 428.

iv) a 74% interest in Zaaiplaats Mining Pty Limited ("Zaaiplaats") which holds an interest in Prospecting Right 183.

10. Trade and other receivables

11. Cash and cash equivalents

12. Trade and other payables

13. Share capital

Authorised:

673 396 387 ordinary shares of no par value

Allotted, issued and fully paid:

519 588 525 shares of no par value

On Admission a placing and subscription to existing and new institutional and sophisticated private investors raised gross proceeds of £3.5m with a further £1m raised from convertible loan notes that converted on admission. Furthermore, 15,413,613 ordinary shares were issued to directors, employees and a service provider for nil consideration on admission. These transactions were recorded at 3.9p per share, being the placing price of the shares.

In accordance with the terms of a Demerger Agreement between Bushveld Minerals Limited and AfriTin Mining Limited, Bushveld warrant holders are entitled to exercise the same amount of warrants in AfriTin for nil consideration subject to the demerger ratio of 0.0899. This agreement effectively gave rise to 43,120 AfriTin warrants on admission. 1,348 and 15,789 of these warrants were exercised on 16 January 2018 and 2 February 2018 respectively.

On 23 May 2018, an accelerated bookbuild and subscription process was undertaken and gross proceeds of £5.9m was raised. The Placing of 220,515,292 shares were issued at a price of 2.7p per share. A resolution to issue the new ordinary shares was passed at a General Meeting on 14 June 2018.

On 17 August 2018, 1,591,304 ordinary shares of no par value were issued to Hannam & Partners Advisory Limited at 3.45p in lieu of a payment of £54,900, being part of their fees in relation to the capital raise that took place in June 2018.

14. Operating Lease Commitments

The Group had no operating lease commitments at the reporting date.

15. Events after Balance Sheet Date

Acquisition of Tantalum Investment Pty Limited

On 2 October 2018, AfriTin Mining Limited acquired from Jan Jonathan Serfontein the entire issued share capital of Tantalum Investment Pty Limited, containing Namibian exploration licenses EPL5445 and EPL5670 for the exploration of tin, tantalum and other associated minerals. The purchase price of £850,000 was settled by way of issue of 25,000,000 ordinary shares in the Company, at a price of 3.40p.

16. Related-party transactions

Balances and transactions between the Company and its subsidiaries, which are related parties, have been eliminated on consolidation and are not disclosed in this note.

Goldiblox Pty Limited ("Goldiblox") is a related party due to Frans van Daalen, key management personnel of AfriTin Mining Limited, being a 50% shareholder of Goldiblox. During the period, Goldiblox charged the Group £66, 554 for management services. At the period end, the Group did not owe Goldiblox any funds.

17. Comparative Figures

The financial statements as presented are for the period 1 March 2018 to 31 August 2018. As the Company was incorporated on 1 September 2017, there is no comparative financial information for the corresponding prior period.
