Taronga Tin Project Advances Towards Development Approval Following Lodgement
of Response to Submissions Report

 

First Tin PLC, a tin development company focused on advancing low-capex
projects in Australia and Germany, is pleased to announce that its wholly
owned subsidiary, Taronga Mines Pty Ltd ("TMPL"), has formally lodged its
Response to Submissions ("RTS") report for the Taronga Tin Project in New
South Wales, Australia.

The RTS provides thorough clarifications to Submissions received from key NSW
Government departments and agencies following the public exhibition phase of
the Environmental Impact Statement ("EIS"). It also incorporates feedback
relating to biodiversity, air quality, groundwater management, and cultural
heritage to further optimise the Taronga project design. The lodgement of the
RTS report represents a further key milestone in the permitting process and
moves the Company closer towards securing Development Approval for its
flagship Taronga Tin Project.

Importantly, as previously announced, only four objections were received
during the public exhibition period for the EIS. Consequently, the project
continues through the standard NSW Government departmental assessment pathway
and will not be referred to the Independent Planning Commission ("IPC"),
materially reducing anticipated approval timelines, execution risk and
permitting costs.

 

Key Highlights

·      Major permitting milestone achieved with formal lodgement of the
Taronga Tin Project's RTS report to the Department of Planning, Housing and
Infrastructure ("DPHI"), the regulatory authority.

·      Streamlined approval pathway maintained following the receipt of
only four objections during the EIS public exhibition period, removing the
requirement for an IPC review.

·      The RTS provides detailed clarifications to submissions from key
NSW Government departments and agencies, including the Environment Protection
Authority ("EPA"), Department of Climate Change, Energy, the Environment and
Water ("DCCEEW"), Heritage NSW and the Department of Primary Industries and
Regional Development ("DPIRD"), and incorporates submission feedback to
optimise the Taronga project design.

Next Steps

 

The remaining approvals process is expected to involve:

 

1.   Final NSW Government departments and agency consultation on the RTS,
coordinated by DPHI;

2.   Completion of the departmental assessment and preparation of draft
approval conditions, to then be reviewed by TMPL ahead of formal Development
Approval determination.

 

 

First Tin CEO, Bill Scotting, commented:

 

"The lodgement of the RTS report represents another major milestone for the
Taronga Tin Project and further de-risks the pathway to development.

"The very low number of objections received during the EIS process highlights
the strong foundations of the project and the extensive engagement undertaken
by our team and consultants.

"We now look forward to progressing through the final stages of the approvals
process and securing formal Development Approval in due course."

Notes to Editors

First Tin PLC is an ethical, reliable, and sustainable tin production company
led by a team of renowned tin specialists. The Company is focused on becoming
a tin supplier in conflict-free, low political risk jurisdictions through the
rapid development of high value, low capex tin assets in Germany and
Australia, which have been de-risked significantly, with extensive work
undertaken to date.

Tin is a critical metal, vital in any plan to decarbonise and electrify the
world, yet Europe and North America have very little supply. Rising demand,
together with shortages, is expected to lead tin to experience sustained
deficit markets for the foreseeable future.

First Tin's goal is to use best-in-class environmental standards to bring two
tin mines into production in three years, providing provenance of supply to
support the current global clean energy and technological revolution.
