Elementos Limited (ASX: ELT) (“Elementos” or the “Company”) is pleased to announce a capital raising to support the completion of the Orepsa transaction and general working capital purposes.
The Company has received binding commitments for a private placement to raise $1.2 million at $0.006 per share (Placement).
The application of funds from the capital raising, includes:
-
Completing legal, due diligence and regulatory costs associated with the acquisition of the Oropesa Tin Project;
-
Completion of the Malaysian Temengor Joint Venture Agreement and commencing exploration;
-
Progressing the Cleveland Project – advance engineering and metallurgical studies;
-
General working capital purposes; and
-
Corporate costs associated with the capital raising.
Andy Greig, Elementos Chairman commented, “This is a very exciting new phase in the growth of the Company and the capital raising proceeds will be used to fund the transformational Orepesa tin transaction announced today. The Company is making excellent progress towards building a quality portfolio of tin assets with near-term development potential. Given the attractive supply and demand forecasts for tin, and the significant potential for an increased requirement of tin in the battery revolution, the Board believe it is prudent to build a pipeline of projects that will maintain tin production for the long term. This capital raising will allow the development of our pipeline of projects.”

T i n M a r k e t a n d P a t h F o r w a r d
The attractive supply and demand forecasts for tin and the potential significant additional requirement for tin as an energy metal has given the Elementos Board confidence to set about expanding the Company’s tin asset portfolio.
The acquisition of the Oropesa tin project in Spain, plus the recently announced Memorandum of Understanding for a farm-in and joint venture at the Temengor Tin Project in Malaysia is a significant step forward as Elementos continues to build a strong portfolio of tin assets to add to its Cleveland Project in Tasmania.
