ELEMENTOS FOCUSED ON TIN MINE DEVELOPMENT
Tin developer, Elementos Limited (ASX: ELT) (“Elementos” or the “Company”) announces the dissolution of its joint venture with Chinalco Yunnan Copper Resources Ltd (ASX:CYU) and the subsequent sale of its Millennium Mining Leases to Hammer Metals Limited (ASX:HMX).
The 5 Mining Leases, ML’s 2512, 2761, 2762, 7506 and 7507 are situated on the northern projection of the Pilgrim Fault, near Cloncurry in the Mount Isa region.
Hammer will pay $57,950 (including the replacement of an environmental bond) to Elementos Ltd (ASX:ELT) for the leases.
Elementos’ CEO, Mr Tim McManus:
“Our primary focus remains on the staged development of our Cleveland tin, copper and tungsten project in northwest Tasmania and getting to positive cash flow in the shortest possible time.
We see the sale of Millennium as releasing value from non-core assets to assist us in achieving our goals.”

COMPANY AND PROJECT OVERVIEW
Elementos Ltd is a public company listed on the Australian Stock Exchange (ASX:ELT). It owns 100% of the Cleveland tin-coppertungsten mine (the “Cleveland Project”) located in north-west Tasmania, Australia. Elementos is developing the Cleveland Project through a staged low-capital development strategy:
v STAGE 1: TAILINGS PROJECT (TIN-COPPER)
v STAGE 2: OPEN PIT PROJECT (TIN-COPPER)
v STAGE 3: UNDERGROUND PROJECT (TIN-COPPER-TUNGSTEN)
==> picture [131 x 142] intentionally omitted <==
The staged development strategy minimises upfront capital, funds future stages from established cash flows, and maximises the benefits of capital expenditures from earlier stages.
The Cleveland Mine, situated at Luina, approximately 60 km from the port of Burnie, has well-developed infrastructure and a strong regional mining culture. The site is linked to the port of Burnie and other major population centres on the north-west coast of Tasmania by sealed all-weather roads. Accessible power runs through the Cleveland mine site, and there is abundant water available for use.
Historically, Cleveland was an underground tin and copper mine operated by Aberfoyle Limited between 1968 and 1986. During the life of the Cleveland operations, Aberfoyle mined and treated 5.7 million tonnes of ore, producing approximately 24,000 tonnes of tin and 10,000 tonnes of copper in concentrate. Today, Elementos has defined a larger resource base than Aberfoyle mined over the 18 years.

Recent announcements of completed Technical Studies by Elementos confirm a technically achievable and commercially viable redevelopment project at current spot prices. The 3-staged strategy provides an Integrated Mine Plan, with a mine life of >15 years, which utilises only 53% of current JORC Mineral Resources. With additional resource available, and substantial exploration upside, the project provides the Company a longlife asset (>20yrs), in a low risk jurisdiction. Cleveland is a company-defining asset, which will position the Company to acquire advanced projects as the mining cycle enters an upward trend.
