1.
Nature of Operations

Tasman Metals Ltd. ("Tasman" or the "Company") was incorporated under the laws of the Province of British Columbia on August 27, 2007.  The Company's common shares are listed and traded on the TSX Venture Exchange ("TSXV") under the symbol "TSM" and on the New York Stock Exchange Market ("NYSE MKT"), under the symbol "TAS".  The Company's head office is located at #1305 - 1090 West Georgia Street, Vancouver, British Columbia, V6E 3V7, Canada.

The Company is a junior resource company engaged in the acquisition and exploration of unproven mineral interests in Scandinavia.  As at February 28, 2015 the Company has not earned any production revenue, nor found proved reserves on any of its mineral interests.

The Company is in the process of exploring and evaluating its mineral properties.  On the basis of information to date, it has not yet determined whether these properties contain economically recoverable ore reserves.  The underlying value of the mineral properties and related deferred acquisition costs is entirely dependent on the existence of economically recoverable reserves, the ability of the Company to obtain the necessary financing to complete development and upon future profitable production.  The amounts shown as resource interests represent net acquisition costs to date, less amounts written off, and do not necessarily represent present or future values.

As at February 28, 2015 the Company had working capital of $3,401,657.  These condensed consolidated interim financial statements have been prepared on a going concern basis which assumes that the Company will be able to realize its assets and discharge its liabilities in the normal course of business operations for the foreseeable future.  The Company's ability to continue as a going concern is dependent upon the ability of the Company to obtain the necessary financing to develop properties and to establish future profitable production.  The Company's operations are funded from equity financings which are dependent upon many external factors and may be difficult to impossible to secure or raise when required.  Although management considers that the Company has adequate resources to maintain its core operations and planned exploration programs on its existing exploration and evaluation assets for the next twelve months, the Company recognizes that exploration expenditures may change with ongoing results and, as a result, it may be required to obtain additional financing.  While the Company has been successful in securing financings in the past, there can be no assurance that it will be able to do so in the future.


2. Basis of Preparation

Statement of Compliance

These condensed consolidated interim financial statements have been prepared using accounting policies consistent with International Financial Reporting Standards ("IFRS"), and in accordance with International Accounting Standards ("IAS") 34, Interim Financial Reporting, as issued by the International Accounting Standards Board ("IASB").  These condensed consolidated interim financial statements should be read in conjunction with the audited consolidated financial statements for the year ended August 31, 2014, which have been prepared in accordance with IFRS as issued by the IASB.  The accounting policies followed in these condensed consolidated interim financial statements are consistent with those applied in the Company's consolidated financial statements for the year ended August 31, 2014.

Basis of Measurement

The Company's consolidated financial statements have been prepared on the historical cost basis except for the revaluation of certain financial assets and financial liabilities to fair value.

Basis of Presentation

The preparation of financial statements requires management to make judgments, estimates and assumptions that affect the application of policies and reported amounts of assets, liabilities, revenue and expenses.  The estimates and associated assumptions are based on historical experience and various other factors that are believed to be reasonable under the circumstances, the results of which form the basis of making the judgments about carrying values of assets and liabilities that are not readily apparent from other sources.  Actual results may differ from these estimates.

______________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________


2. Basis of Preparation (continued)

The estimates and underlying assumptions are reviewed on an ongoing basis.  Revisions to accounting estimates are recognized in the period in which the estimate is revised if the revision affects only that period or in the period of the revision and further periods if the review affects both current and future periods.


3. Summary of Significant Accounting Policies

The preparation of financial data is based on accounting principles and practices consistent with those used in the preparation of the audited annual consolidated financial statements as at August 31, 2014.  The accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated interim financial statements should be read in conjunction with the Company's audited consolidated financial statements for the year ended August 31, 2014.

6.            Exploration and Evaluation Assets (continued)

(a) Rare Earth Element Properties

Norra Kärr

The Norra Kärr property consists of four staked exploration claims and a mining lease located in southern Sweden.

During fiscal 2014 the Company issued 36,000 common shares at a fair value of $52,920 to acquire certain surface access rights to the Norra Kärr property.

Olserum

During fiscal 2012 the Company acquired a 100 % interest in the Olserum property, comprising one claim, in southern Sweden.  The Olserum property was purchased from Norrsken Energy Limited, a private company registered in the United Kingdom, for total consideration of 37,746 common shares of the Company issued at a fair value of $95,120.  The Company subsequently staked a further five claims surrounding the Olserum property.

Other

During the six months ended February 28, 2015 the Company relinquished certain exploration claims and recorded an impairment charge of $7,154 (fiscal 2014 - $44,230) to exploration and evaluation assets.

As at February 28, 2015 the Company has 10 exploration claims and one mining lease in Sweden.

(b) Other Properties

(i) Iron Ore Properties

On May 16, 2010 the Company entered into an option agreement with Hannans whereby Hannans subsequently earned a 75% interest in the Sautusvaara, Vieto, Harrejaure and Lauukujarvi exploration claims (the "Iron Ore Claims") in Sweden.  Hannans may earn a further 15% interest in the Iron Ore Claims by funding a feasibility study on at least one Iron Ore Claim prior to June 30, 2018, including minimum expenditures of AUS $100,000 per annum.  Hannans has met its annual expenditure commitment as at February 28, 2015.

(ii) Tungsten Properties

7. Share Capital

(a)            Authorized Share Capital

The Company's authorized share capital consists of an unlimited number of common shares without par value.  All issued common shares are fully paid.

(b) Reconciliation of Changes in Share Capital

(i) No equity financings were conducted by the Company during the six months ended February 28, 2015.

(ii) During fiscal 2014 the Company completed a private placement in two tranches as follows:

·
In February 2014 the Company completed the first tranche of a private placement of 3,875,863 units at a price of $1.10 per unit for gross proceeds of $4,263,449.  Each unit comprised one common share and one non-transferable share purchase warrant.  Each warrant entitles the holder to purchase an additional common share at a price of $1.50 per share on or before February 11, 2017.  The Company paid a finders' fee of $168,735 cash and issued finders' warrants which entitles the holder to purchase 15,495 common shares at a price of $1.50 per share on or before February 11, 2017.  The fair value of the finders' warrants, estimated using the Black-Scholes option pricing model, is $10,072.  The assumptions used were: a risk-free interest rate of 1.39%; an estimated volatility of 88%; an expected life of 3 years; an expected dividend yield of 0%; and an estimated forfeiture rate of 0%.  The Company also issued 192,000 compensation options exercisable into units with each unit having the same terms as the units issued under the private placement.  The fair value of the compensation options, estimated using the Black-Scholes option pricing model, is $124,800.  The assumptions used were: a risk-free interest rate of 1.39%; an estimated volatility of 88%; an expected life of 3 years; an expected dividend yield of 0%; and an estimated forfeiture rate of 0%.

·
In March 2014 the Company completed the final tranche of its private placement and issued 1,044,077 units as a price of $1.10 per unit for gross proceeds of $1,148,485.  Each unit comprised one common share and one non-transferable share purchase warrant.  Each warrant entitles the holder to purchase an additional common share at a price of $1.50 per share on or before March 31, 2017.  The Company paid a finder's fee of $80,009 cash and issued 103,907 compensation options exercisable into units with each unit having the same terms as the units issued under the private placement.  The fair value of the compensation options, estimated using the Black-Scholes option pricing model, is $93,516.  The assumptions used were: a risk-free interest rate of 1.26%; an estimated volatility of 87%; an expected life of 3 years; an expected dividend yield of 0%; and an estimated forfeiture rate of 0%.

The Company incurred $166,540 for legal and filing fees associated with this private placement.

Directors and officers of the Company purchased 83,000 units of this private placement.

7. Share Capital (continued)

(e)                 Share Option Plan

The Company has established a rolling share option plan (the "Plan"), in which the maximum number of common shares which can be reserved for issuance under the Plan is 10% of the issued and outstanding shares of the Company.  The minimum exercise price of the options is set at the Company's closing share price on the day before the grant date, less allowable discounts in accordance with the policies of the TSXV.  Options granted may be subject to vesting provisions as determined by the Board of Directors and have a maximum term of ten years.

During the six months ended February 28, 2015 the Company granted 135,000 (2014 - 260,000) share options and recorded compensation expense of $51,300 (2014 - $143,200).

The fair value of share options granted and/or vested during the six months ended February 28, 2015 and 2014 is estimated using the Black-Scholes option pricing model using the following assumptions:

 
2015
2014
 
Risk-free interest rate
1.22%
1.39% - 1.46%
Estimated volatility
82%
88% - 96%
Expected life
3 years
3 years
Expected dividend yield
0%
0%
Expected forfeiture rate
0%
0%

The weighted average fair value of all share options granted and/or vested during the six months ended February 28, 2015 was $0.38 (2014 - $0.55) per option.

Option-pricing models require the use of estimates and assumptions including the expected volatility.  Changes in the underlying assumptions can materially affect the fair value estimates and, therefore, existing models do not necessarily provide a reliable measure of the fair value of the Company's share options.

Categories of Financial Assets and Financial Liabilities

Financial assets are classified into one of the following four categories:  FVTPL; held-to-maturity investments; loans and receivables; and available-for-sale.  Financial liabilities are classified as FVTPL or other temporary liabilities.  The carrying values of the Company's financial instruments are classified into the following categories:

The Company's financial instruments recorded at fair value require disclosure about how the fair value was determined based on significant levels of inputs described in the following hierarchy:

Level 1 - Quoted prices are available in active markets for identical assets or liabilities as of the reporting date.  Active markets are those in which transactions occur in sufficient frequency and value to provide pricing information on an ongoing basis.

Level 2 - Pricing inputs are other than quoted prices in active markets included in Level 1.  Prices in Level 2 are either directly or indirectly observable as of the reporting date.  Level 2 valuations are based on inputs including quoted forward prices for commodities, time value and volatility factors, which can be substantially observed or corroborated in the market place.

Level 3 - Valuations in this level are those with inputs for the asset or liability that are not based on observable market data.

The recorded amounts for amounts receivable and accounts payable and accrued liabilities approximate their fair value due to their short-term nature.  The Company's cash and investments under the fair value hierarchy are measured using Level 1 inputs.

The Company's risk exposures and the impact on the Company's financial instruments are summarized below:   

Credit Risk

Credit risk is the risk of loss associated with a counterparty's inability to fulfill its payment obligations.  The Company's credit risk is primarily attributable to cash and amounts receivable.  Management believes that the credit risk concentration with respect to financial instruments included in cash and amounts receivable is remote.

Liquidity Risk

Liquidity risk is the risk that the Company will not have the resources to meet its obligations as they fall due.  The Company manages this risk by closely monitoring cash forecasts and managing resources to ensure that it will have sufficient liquidity to meet its obligations.  All of the Company's financial liabilities are classified as current and are anticipated to mature within the next fiscal period.  The following table is based on the contractual maturity dates of financial assets and the earliest date on which the Company can be required to settle financial liabilities.

Market Risk

Market risk is the risk of loss that may arise from changes in market factors such as interest rates, foreign exchange rates, and commodity and equity prices.  These fluctuations may be significant.

(a) Interest Rate Risk

The Company is exposed to interest rate risk to the extent that the cash bears floating rates of interest.  The interest rate risk on cash and on the Company's obligations are not considered significant.

(b) Foreign Currency Risk

The Company's functional currency is the Canadian dollar and major transactions are transacted in Canadian Dollars and Swedish Kronors ("SEK").  The Company maintains SEK bank accounts in Sweden to support the cash needs of its foreign operation.  Management believes the foreign exchange risk related to currency conversions are minimal and therefore does not hedge its foreign exchange risk.  At February 28, 2015, 1 Canadian Dollar was equal to 6.68 SEK.

Balances are as follows:
   
Swedish
Kronors
   
CDN $

Financial Instruments and Risk Management (continued)
 
  
 
Based on the net exposures as of February 28, 2015 and assuming that all other variables remain constant, a 10% fluctuation on the Canadian Dollar against the SEK would result in the Company's net loss to be approximatley $14,000 higher (or lower).
 
Capital Management

The Company manages its capital structure and makes adjustments to it, based on the funds available to the Company, in order to support the acquisition and exploration of mineral properties.  The Board of Directors does not establish quantitative return on capital criteria for management, but rather relies on the expertise of the Company's management to sustain future development of the business.  The Company defines capital that it manages as share capital, cash and cash equivalents and short-term investments.  The Company will continue to assess new properties and seek to acquire an interest in additional properties if it feels there is sufficient geologic or economic potential and if it has adequate financial resources to do so.  Management reviews its capital management approach on an ongoing basis and believes that this approach, given the relative size of the Company, is reasonable.
