  • Estimate of an Exploration Target completed at the Oropesa Tin Project in Spain;

  • Exploration Target supported by Induced Polarization geophysical survey data, detailed geological modelling and diamond drilling data;

  • Detailed drill programme planning underway.

Elementos Limited (ASX: ELT) (“Elementos” or the “Company”) is pleased to announce it has defined an Exploration Target* for the Oropesa Tin Project in Spain of between 35.5mt and 51.0mt at a grade ranging between 0.46% to 0.62% tin.

Table 1 - Oropesa Exploration Target(0.15% Sn cut-offgrade) Table 1 - Oropesa Exploration Target(0.15% Sn cut-offgrade) Table 1 - Oropesa Exploration Target(0.15% Sn cut-offgrade)
Range Tonnes Grades% Sn
Upper 51,000,000 0.62
Lower 35,500,000 0.46

The Exploration Target has been assessed on prospective stratigraphy in the immediate vicinity to the existing Oropesa JORC Mineral Resource*1.

  • The potential quantity and grade of the Exploration Target is conceptual in nature and therefore is an approximation. There has been insufficient exploration to estimate a Mineral Resource and it is uncertain if further exploration will result in the estimation of a Mineral Resource.

The Company announced Interim Completion of the Arrangement Agreement for the acquisition of the Oropesa Tin Project on 4[th] January 2019.

The Oropesa JORC resource is defined geophysically by an Induced Polarization (IP) chargeability anomaly. The IP survey was carried out in 2011. The Oropesa project area contains a number of parallel IP anomalies, of which only the central IP anomaly has undergone intensive diamond drilling. Detailed drilling of the central IP anomaly has provided sufficient data to build a geological model on which the current Oropesa resource is based, but also provides sufficient data to be able to assess the potential of the Oropesa project to host additional tin resources. A small number of drill holes were targeted at some of the additional IP anomalies during the early exploration phase but were predominantly oriented in the wrong direction to intersect the main mineralisation system at Oropesa.

The Oropesa tin mineralisation (cassiterite with minor stannite) occurs as a replacement style orebody associated with sulphides, predominantly pyrite and pyrrhotite within a sedimentary sequence at the contact between sandstone and conglomerate units. Widespread folding of the sedimentary sequence has resulted in the mineralised sequence being overturned and tightly folded (recumbent folds), being repeated in places.

Figure 5. Structural and geological interpretation of the IP anomalies at Oropesa

The Exploration Target is based on the current geological understanding of the mineralisation at Oropesa. The target was restricted to a depth of 150m from surface. The Exploration Target, being conceptual in nature, takes no account of any unknown geological complexity, possible mining method or metallurgical recovery factors. The Exploration Target has been estimated in order to provide the market with an assessment of the potential scale of the Oropesa Tin Project.

A detailed exploration drilling programme to test the IP anomalies is currently being planned by the Company’s personnel in Spain. Priority drill targets will be;

  • along strike from the existing resource,

  • immediately to the north of the existing resource, and

  • in areas that are earmarked for infrastructure for the proposed mine development, currently under application for approval with the regulatory Andalucian authorities.
