ASX RELEASE

Fluorite (Critical Mineral) Confirmed at the Cleveland Tin Project

Highlights

  • Fluorite (aka. Fluorspar) is listed as a critical mineral by USA, Canada, Japan, China and the European Union.

  • Significant fluorite levels at Cleveland first confirmed during mineralogical analysis on tin-copper core during a 2022 test-work program.

  • 2023 follow-up assays on 2022 drill hole C2119 has confirmed significant fluorite mineralisation in tungsten and tin-copper mineralisation zones throughout the project

  • Tungsten is listed as a critical mineral by the Australian Federal Government, as well as USA, Canada, EU, UK, Japan and China. Tin is also listed as a critical mineral by USA, Canada, Japan and China

  • A downhole and ground-based geophysics program planned for the second half of 2023 to further define extensions and targets at the Cleveland project in Tasmania

Elementos Limited (ASX: ELT) has confirmed significant fluorite (CaF2 , also known as fluorspar) mineralisation at its Cleveland Tin Project in Tasmania, based on follow-up assays from drill hole C2119 completed in its 2022 diamond drilling program, and mineralogical results during metallurgical test work.

The presence of fluorite within Cleveland’s tin-copper resource was first confirmed by an optical mineralogy study completed by ALS laboratories, in conjunction with McKnight Mineralogy, during 2022. The study involved the preparation of polished thin sections and scanning by QXRD analysis. The study found that fluorite comprised 8.7% of the composite sample assessed.

Initial assay results from hole C2119, reported on 15[th] June 2022[1] , were for the standard project elements of tin, copper, tungsten (WO3), molybdenum and bismuth. Fluorine, which was only identified as a mineral of interest during the mineralogy program, requires a separate method of analysis (alkali fusion). These analyses were subsequently carried out at the ALS facility in Vancouver, Canada.

Significant fluorite (CaF2) results from this additional assay data are shown and underlined below:

C2119: 89.85m @ 5.44% CaF2 from 205.3m, including;

14.2m @ 0.36% WO3 @ 10.2% CaF2 from 221.0m – Tungsten Zone (Upper Foleys Zone)

3.85m @ 1.05% Sn, 0.28% Cu & 5.36% CaF2 from 64.25m - Tin-Copper Zone (Battery Lode)

Note: The fluorine assay results are reported as fluorite (CaF2 %). Fluorite is present in the drill core as coarsegrained minerals (Figure 1). Fluorite is the common product in commercial concentrates containing fluorine.

Elementos’ Managing Director Joe David commented, “The confirmation of two broad zones of significant fluorite mineralisation intersected at our Cleveland Tin Project is additonal confirmation that we sit on a very special asset here in Tasmania. The historic tin mine is one which is clearly highly mineralised and just starting to show it’s potential as a source of other critical minerals.

“Whilst the project has Mineral Resource Estimates published for tin, copper and tungsten; the potential for additonal minerals such as fluorite, to add to the mineral suite for the project, is just beginning to be assessed and understood. The company will continue to progress its understanding of the fluorite mineralisation event through further in our field and laboratory programs, in addtion to desktop reviews of historical papers and mining reports from previous mining operations.

“It is also important to note that tungsten has been identified as a critical mineral by the Australian Government, with tungsten, fluorite and tin having been identified as critical minerals by a number of Australia’s strategic partners (inlcuding the USA, UK and the EU).“

Foleys Zone Drilling (Tungsten Zone)

Drill hole C2119 was drilled in 2022 to a depth of 300m. The drill hole targeted an untested zone that occurs between northeast dipping and southwest dipping limbs of the historical underground mine workings and current JORC 2012 compliant mineral resource[2] (Figures 2 & 3).

C2119 intersected a zone of intensive quartz veining from 205.3m down hole containing wolframite (tungsten), fluorite (fluorine) and molybdenite (Mo) within a significant zone of silica and sericite alteration. The mineralisation style and type has been interpreted to be an extension of the mineralisation within the Foleys Zone tungsten resource (Table 2), approximately 150m above the defined resource. Fluorite mineralisation within the Foleys Zone was studied in detail and reported in a PhD thesis by P.L.F. Collins in 1983*[3] .

The fluorite occurs as at an early stage in conjunction with wolframite (tungsten) as coarse purple crystals (see Figure 1). A later stage of fluorite mineralisation occurs as green crystals in veins up to 0.5m wide (page 138³). Topaz mineralisation has been observed in very minor quantities (topaz also contains fluorine). It has been reported³ as occurring as small crystals 0.05mm to 0.5mm in diameter. Topaz is not considered to be a significant fluorine mineral at the Foleys Zone. The fluorite intercept from C2119 approximately 150m above the Foleys Zone is shown below:

C2119: 89.85m @ 5.44% CaF2 from 205.3m, including 14.2m @ 0.36% WO3 @ 10.2% Ca F2 from 221.0m

The fluorine assay results are being reported as fluorite. Fluorite is present in the drill core as coarse grained minerals (Figure 3). Fluorite is the common product in commercial concentrates containing fluorine.

The CaF2 (fluorite) assay was calculated using the following formula:

CaF2 = ((Ca (atomic weight) + 2F(atomic weight))/2F(atomic weight)) * F (ALS assay)

TOMORROW’S TIN

An investigation was carried out into the relationship between calcium (Ca) and fluorine (F) to test the validity of the assumption that a majority of the fluorine in the assay data comes from fluorite. A total of 87 samples were compared in a scatter plot. The plot shows are good correlation between Ca and F with a R[2] value of 0.93. From this correlation, in combination with visual estimates of the mineralogy in the Foleys Zone, a large proportion of the fluorine is present as Fluorite. Samples outside the strong correlation trend were observed to contain elevated carbonate in veins.

C2119 intersected an extension to the Battery Lode below the current JORC resource from a downhole depth of 64.25m for a downhole length 3.7m (Figure 3). Battery Lode intercept:

C2119: 3.85m @ 1.05% Sn, 0.28% Cu & 5.36% CaF2 from 64.25m

The presence of fluorine as fluorite within the Battery Lode was confirmed by an optical mineralogy study completed by ALS laboratories, in conjunction with McKnight Mineralogy, in 2022. The study involved the preparation of polished thin sections and scanning by QXRD analysis. The study found that fluorite comprised 8.7% of the composite sample being assessed.

In addition to the Mineral Resources, in October 2013 the company released an Exploration Target for the Foley’s Zone (below 850m RL) at between 24mt @ 0.3% WO3 at a 0.2% WO3 cut-off grade and 60mt @ 0.2% WO3 at a 0.0% WO3 cut-off grade below -180mRL*².

(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.)

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 tin developer, 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.

Geology
• Deposit type, geological setting and style of mineralisation.
• The Cleveland mineralisation is hydrothermal mineralisation associated with
Devonian-Carboniferous granite intrusives, which outcrop within 5 kilometres
of the historical workings. Gravity survey data suggests the granite occurs
approximately 4km below the historical workings
• The host sedimentary rocks were intruded by the Devonian-Carboniferous
Meredith Granite. A quartz-porphyry dyke occurs approximately 350m below
the land surface.
• The tin/copper mineralisation occurs as semi-massive sulphide lenses
consisting of pyrrhotite and pyrite with cassiterite with lesser stannite,
chalcopyrite, arsenopyrite, quartz, fluorite and carbonates. Sulphide minerals
make up approximately 20-30% of the mineralisation.
• The semi-massive sulphide lenses have formed by the replacement of
carbonate rich sediments and are geologically similar to tin bearing massive
to semi-massive sulphide mineralisation at Renison and Mt Bischoff.
• The tungsten mineralisation occurs as greisenisation of a quartz-porphyry
dyke and fissure veins, referred to as the Foley’s Zone.

aggregation
methods
• In reporting Exploration Results, weighting averaging techniques, maximum
and/or minimum grade truncations (eg cutting of high grades) and cut-off
grades are usually Material and should be stated.
• Where aggregate intercepts incorporate short lengths of high grade results
and longer lengths of low grade results, the procedure used for such
aggregation should be stated and some typical examples of such
aggregations should be shown in detail.
• The assumptions used for any reporting of metal equivalent values should be
clearlystated.
• All diamond drill hole fluorine assay results reported are shown in the text of
this report.
• The mineralised intervals reported in the body of this report are stated on a
weighted average basis
• No bottom or top cut was applied to the aggregates
• No metal equivalents have been used
Relationship
between
mineralisation
widths and
intercept
lengths
• These relationships are particularly important in the reporting of Exploration
Results.
• If the geometry of the mineralisation with respect to the drill hole angle is
known, its nature should be reported.
• If it is not known and only the down hole lengths are reported, there should
be a clear statement to this effect (eg ‘down hole length, true width not
known’).
• The sections and plans shown in the body of the report display the
relationship between the drill hole intercept and the known mineralisation
Diagrams
• Appropriate maps and sections (with scales) and tabulations of intercepts
should be included for any significant discovery being reported These should
include, but not be limited to a plan view of drill hole collar locations and
appropriate sectional views.
• See main body of the report
Balanced
reporting
• Where comprehensive reporting of all Exploration Results is not practicable,
representative reporting of both low and high grades and/or widths should be
practiced to avoid misleadingreportingof Exploration Results.
• All drill hole assay data used in this report is shown in Table-1?
Other
substantive
exploration
data
• Other exploration data, if meaningful and material, should be reported
including (but not limited to): geological observations; geophysical survey
results; geochemical survey results; bulk samples – size and method of
treatment; metallurgical test results; bulk density, groundwater, geotechnical
and rock characteristics; potential deleterious or contaminatingsubstances.
