ASX RELEASE

Elementos’ infill drilling program continues to intersect strong tin mineralisation at Oro esa p

HIGHLIGHTS

  • Elementos intersects some of highest grades to date in drilling at Oropesa Tin Project, Spain

  • Latest results build confidence to successfully upgrade Inferred Resources targeted by drill program

  • Infill drilling program continues with six of nine planned holes completed

  • Four additional exploration holes (outside infill areas) planned to follow infill program

Elementos Limited (ASX: ELT) is pleased to report material results from further infill drilling, continuing to confirm the presence of near-surface tin mineralisation at its Oropesa Tin Project, Spain.

This report contains assay results from four recently completed drill holes in Elementos’ infill drilling program[3 ] which is targeting mineralisation predicted by the geological model and 2021 Mineral Resource Estimate[1] , with the aim of upgrading the portion of Inferred Mineral Resources that sit within the US$30,000/t pit shell[4] .

Drill holes ADD_30 and ADD_32 have returned high-grade tin intersections, and additionally, significant intersections of both zinc and copper.

ADD_30:- 6m @ 2.59% Sn & 0.15% Cu from 74.6m &
1.7m @ 0.71% Sn & 0.5% Zn from 177.4m
ADD_32:- 18.2m @ 0.21% Sn from 12.7m,
17.4m @ 1.06% Sn & 0.31% Cu from 114.5m,
3.1m @ 0.81% Sn, & 12.58% Zn & 0.43% Cu from 176.6m* &
10.5m @ 0.46% Sn, 1.66% Zn & 0.26% Cu from 185.2m
ADD_26:- 10.4m @ 0.27% Sn from 53.6m
ADD_27:- 2.4m @ 0.21% Sn from 59.4m,
2.0m @ 0.45% Sn from 65.4m &
2.0m @ 0.19% Sn from 204.3m
(0.1% Sn cut-off grade)
  • The mineralisation intersected in ADD_32 reported from 176.6m for 3.1m had poor core recoveries (of approximately 12%) but has been included in this report as a guide to the location of mineralised zones at Oropesa. This mineralised zone consists of high intensity fault gouge semi massive to massive sulphide material that proved difficult to recover.

TOMORROW’S TIN

Elementos Managing Director Joe David commented, “These results continue to confirm the robustness of the current Mineral Resource model and are continuously increasing our confidence in upgrading Oropesa’s targeted Inferred Resources at the end of the program.

“Critically, latest drilling has intersected some of the highest-grade tin zones yet drilled across the project. Results such as 6m @ 2.59% Sn in hole ADD_30 and 17.4m at 1.06% Sn in hole ADD_32, continue to show the capability for the Oropesa project to deliver higher grade tin zones across the project.

“The infill drilling program has now completed six of nine planned drill holes and has assisted the company in designing an additional four exploration holes to target additional mineralisation outside the current Mineral Resource. We plan to move straight into exploration drilling to test these extensions following the completion of the infill program.”

ABOUT ELEMENTOS

Elementos is committed to the safe and environmentally conscious exploration, development, and production of its global tin projects. The company owns two world class tin projects with large resource bases and significant exploration potential in mining-friendly jurisdictions. Led by an experienced-heavy management team and Board, Elementos is positioned as a pure tin platform, with an ability to develop projects in multiple countries. The company is well-positioned to help bridge the forecast significant tin supply shortfall in coming years. This shortfall is being partly driven by reduced productivity of major tin miners in addition to increasing global demand due to electrification, green energy, automation, electric vehicles and the conversion to lead-free solders as electrical contacts.

Section 1 Sampling Techniques and Data

Diamond Drilling Exploration Program, Oropesa Tin Project, Spain – October 2022

Criteria JORC Code explanation Commentary
Sampling
techniques
• Nature and quality of sampling (eg cut channels, random chips, or specific
specialised industry standard measurement tools appropriate to the minerals
under investigation, such as down hole gamma sondes, or handheld XRF
instruments, etc). These examples should not be taken as limiting the broad
meaning of sampling.
• Include reference to measures taken to ensure sample representivity and the
appropriate calibration of any measurement tools or systems used.
• Aspects of the determination of mineralisation that are Material to the Public
Report.
• In cases where ‘industry standard’ work has been done this would be
relatively simple (eg ‘reverse circulation drilling was used to obtain 1 m
samples from which 3 kg was pulverised to produce a 30 g charge for fire
assay’). In other cases more explanation may be required, such as where
there is coarse gold that has inherent sampling problems. Unusual
commodities or mineralisation types (eg submarine nodules) may warrant
disclosure of detailed information.
• ADD_26, 27, 30 & 32 were completed by PQ diameter pre-collar diamond drill
core to depths where hole stability had been established. The remainder of
the drill hole was completed recovering HQ diameter drill core.
• PQ and HQ drill core was sampled based on intervals determined by the
project geologist and cut using a diamond saw to split the core in half.
• Cassiterite mineralisation at Oropesa is rarely visible to the naked eye.
Historical exploration mineralogical reports (¹) have reported a strong
relationship between tin mineralisation (cassiterite) and sulphide
mineralisation. High levels of oxidation of the sulphide mineralisation to iron
oxides has been observed and recorded in drill logs from current and
previous drilling campaigns at Oropesa. These oxidised zones occur near the
surface (gossans) and within sub-vertical fault zones. Historical drilling data
indicates that these highly oxidised zones can contain significant quantities
of tin mineralisation (cassiterite).
• Observations made from transitional and fresh drill core from the current
drilling program are in keeping with historical observations as indicators of
potential cassiterite mineralisation zones (± sulphides) at Oropesa. These
include silicification of the host sandstones with finely disseminated to semi-
massive sulphides (pyrite ± sphalerite ± arsenopyrite) with late-stage infill
colloform and/or vuggy quartz(
¹). Cassiterite mineralisation at Oropesa has
also been observed to be associated with intense silicification, leaching and
chlorite alteration of the host rocks. Physical or chemical weathering of the
fine- grained sulphides has been observed as small voids (pitting) in the host
rocks.
• Samples have been selected for analysis based on portable NITON XRF
analysis taken at 10cm intervals and from visual identification of zones of
potential tin mineralisation. The NITON portable XRF data has been used
solelyas aguide to sample boundaries for analysis at a commercial

• Samples were split into half core with a minimum sample weight of
approximately 1kg. Samples were prepared and analysed in a certified
commercial laboratory.
Drilling
techniques
• Drill type (eg core, reverse circulation, open-hole hammer, rotary air blast,
auger, Bangka, sonic, etc) and details (eg core diameter, triple or standard
tube, depth of diamond tails, face-sampling bit or other type, whether core is
oriented and if so, by what method, etc).
• A Drillcon Christensen CS 140 self-propelled track mounted drilling rig was
used, drilling PQ and HQ standard diamond core. Coring was from surface.
• Drill core was collected using a standard triple tube system.
• Drill core is not oriented
Drill sample
recovery
• Method of recording and assessing core and chip sample recoveries and
results assessed.
• Measures taken to maximise sample recovery and ensure representative
nature of the samples.
• Whether a relationship exists between sample recovery and grade and
whether sample bias may have occurred due to preferential loss/gain of
fine/coarse material.
• Diamond drill hole core recoveries and RQD are logged. Measurements are
taken systematically downhole between core blocks. The maximum
increment being 3.1m.
• Drill core recovery for the mineralised intervals being reported are as
follows:
ADD_26:- 10.4m @ 0.27% Sn from 53.6m – 89%

Elementos Limited announced to the ASX the acquisition of Minas De
Estaño De España, SLU (“MESPA or the Company”) from TSX-V listed
Eurotin Ltd on 31 July 2018: (Acquisition of the Oropesa Tin Project)

MESPA has registered title to the Oropesa project property with the
Andalucia mining authorities (Permit number 13.050), under the Spanish
Mining Act. The property is a 14.51km² concession in Andalucía, southern
Spain, located 75 km northwest of Cordoba and 180 km northeast of Seville.
On 10th October 2017 the Company filed an Exploitation Permit application
for the Oropesa property. Under Spanish Law an Exploitation Concession is
granted for a 30-year period and may be extended for two further periods of
30 years each and up to a maximum of 90 years. Completing and filing the
Exploitation Application prior to the expiration of the Investigation Permit
allows the Company to remain in compliance with its title for the Oropesa
property
• There are no known litigations potentially affecting the Oropesa Project
Exploration
done by other
parties
• Acknowledgment and appraisal of exploration by other parties. • Instituto Geológico y Minero de España (“IGME”) conducted an exploration
program in southern Spain between1969–1990, including geological mapping
and geochemical surveys, which led to the discovery of tin on the Oropesa
property in 1982.Additional tin exploration targeted Oropesa and the
neighbouring La Grana property during 1983–1990, which included further
mapping, stream sediment sampling, geochemical soils, geophysical surveys,
trenching and initial drilling.
Geology • Deposit type, geological setting and style of mineralisation. • The Oropesa deposit is characterised by replacement-style tin mineralisation
(cassiterite and minor stannite) occurring mainly at sandstone-conglomerate
contacts in the Peñarroya Basin, a Carboniferous basin formed during the
Hercynian/Variscan Orogeny. Re-activation of syn-sedimentary and basin-
controllingfaults has resulted in complex,foldedgeometries. Subordinate
