Notes:

(ii) The total funds deployed for HWG TM up to FYE 12/2012 stood at RM36.836 million, of which RM29.771 million is capital in nature. The balance is used to finance the operation overheads of HWG TM.

The usages of the funds are summarised as follows:

(1) Financing the administrative expenditures and working capital of HWGB;

(2) Repaying the bank borrowings of HWG Kintron with remaining outstanding borrowings of approximately RM2.45 million as at 31 March 2013;

(3) Financing the working capital of PT HWG; and

(4) Financing HWG TM on its exploration works, infrastructure works and construction of the processing plants and machinery for its tin mining activities from “green field” phase to its current exploration phase with 221 metric tonnes (“MT”) of tin concentrates produced in FYE 31 December 2012.

(b) Information on HWG Tin Mining Sdn Bhd ("HWG TM") including, but not limited to, the lease period of the tin mining, total amount of funds invested in undertaking the tin mining activities, total amount of tin concentrate extracted to-date, estimated capital expenditure and the future prospects of tin mining activities;

HWG TM’s tin mining lease is for a ten years period commencing from 7 November 2010 to 6 November 2020 and the mining site is situated on Lot 7439, Sungai Endah, Mukim Pengkalan Hulu, Daerah Hulu Perak, Perak Darul Ridzuan.

The total amount of funds invested by HWGB in HWG TM up to FYE 12/2012 is approximately RM36.8 million, of which about RM29.8 million is capital in nature. The balance was utilised for HWG TM’s operations. HWG TM mining activities is currently at “exploration phases”. During the exploration works, HWG TM extracted 62 MT of tin concentrates in 2011, 221 MT of tin concentrates in 2012, and for the first quarter of 2013, the tin concentrates extracted was at 28 MT.

The prospect of HWG TM at this juncture is encouraging as its in-house professional team employed to undertake the exploration works (in terms of increasing the number of drill holes, drilling depth and narrowing the gap between each drill holes) were able to generate positive geophysical data from the drilling samples.

The tin mining activities are still categorised as exploratory phase i.e. it involves opening new area or deeper excavation, moving of overburden, earthworks and drilling works to ascertain and locate the tin veins. Currently, these activities are progressing albeit slowly as we are using internal funds, machinery and resources to undertake such exploration works. Approximately RM4.0 million from the proceeds to be raised from the Private Placement is earmarked for HWG TM to enable it to engage third party contractors to expedite the exploration works.

HWG TM envisages that it requires further funding of approximately RM75 million over the next 2 financial years to be able to commercially venture into it’s tin mining production.

The estimated funding entails RM10.0 million for further exploration works, RM47.0 million in construction of new plants, equipments and machinery and the balance RM18.0 million for working capital.

This announcement is dated 29 May 2013.
