Elementos Limited (ASX: ELT) (“Elementos” or the “Company”) activities this quarter have been focused on the development of the 100% owned Cleveland Province.
Following the successful mid-year capital raising, development activities continue to be concentrated on the low capex tailings project at Cleveland, which presents an opportunity to generate positive cash flows, that can be used for the on-going development of the Province. The Development Proposal and Environmental Management Plan and the Mining Lease Applications are targeted for submission in early 2015.
Silver-Lead-Zinc Soil Anomalies Identified
During the quarter, a trial soil sampling program was undertaken at the Godkin zone, two kilometres south of the Cleveland tin mine. Two large base metal soil anomalies were delineated over a wide area, where previous high-grade selective samples for silver, lead and zinc had been taken. The aim of the soil sampling program was to test a technique for identifying mineralised structures that are not clearly visible on surface over a wide area. The Company believes the combination of the selective sampling program undertaken in March 2014, and this trial soil sampling program, demonstrates the strong base metal potential of the Godkin zone.
Capital Raising
During the quarter, the rights issue previously announced on 6 June 2014, closed oversubscribed, raising $1.52 million. In June and July 2014, the Company raised a total of $2.10 million, including $0.58 million by private placement, to fund the ongoing development of the Cleveland Province.
Metallurgical Testwork
During the quarter, the Company commenced metallurgical testwork on the Cleveland tailings project at ALS Metallurgy Burnie. The objective of the program is to further develop the process flowsheet using modern gravity, flotation and associated techniques geared to optimising recovery, operating costs and concentrate grade.
