Review of Operations
The Group’s operating loss for the half-year, after applicable income tax was $441,323. Exploration and evaluation expenditure during the period totalled $490,216.
At 31 December 2017, the Group’s net assets totalled $6,206,324, which included cash assets of $1,058,185.
During the period, the Company’s principal activity was progressing the Cleveland project approval process.
The Company continues to actively progress the Cleveland tin and tungsten project in Tasmania towards development. The global refined tin supply is predicted to be in deficit by 40,000 tonnes per annum by 2020. The Company’s objective is to lower investment risk and move quickly towards production and cash flow, through a low-capital, staged development strategy, commencing with open cut production, with the lowest possible dilution of shareholders. The Tasmanian government is very supportive and working with the Company to progress the Cleveland Project towards development.
Review of Project
Exploration – Cleveland Project, Tasmania, Australia
The Cleveland tin project is located approximately 80kms to the southwest of Burnie in Tasmania. The project has excellent power, water and transport infrastructure in place. Activities during the reporting period have been focused on accurately defining the boundaries and possible extensions to the previously reported open cut resource which contains 800,000 tonnes at 0.81% tin and 0.27% copper. This exploration activity has included geological mapping, sampling, geophysics and diamond drilling, the first modern exploration activities undertaken at Cleveland since 1986. The Company is now establishing a more comprehensive understanding of the geology and mineralisation at Cleveland.

Figure 1. Cleveland Project Location
At the time of reporting, fifteen diamond drill holes had been completed. Twelve of the completed drill holes were targeted at assessing the potential for extensions to the existing open-cut resource with three targeted at testing ground magnetic anomalies that were detected during a survey completed in early 2017. The drilling programme is being carried out by Low Impact Diamond Drilling Specialists (LIDDS), a company based in Burnie, Tasmania. The drill core is transferred to a processing facility in Waratah where the core is geologically and geotechnically logged prior to sampling using a diamond saw. The samples are then transported to the ALS laboratories in Burnie for analysis. Analytical results from the first nine drill holes included two significant intersections which have the potential to extend the open-cut mineral resource on two of the main tin-copper lode systems previously defined at Cleveland.
The diamond drilling programme has experienced some delays due to bad weather, which have on occasion made vehicle access to the site and drilling operations unsafe to continue.

INTERIM FINANCIAL REPORT 2018
Notes to the Financial Statements for the Half -Year Ended 31 December 2017
NOTE 1: SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
Basis of Preparation
These general purpose financial statements for the interim half-year reporting period ended 31 December 2017 have been prepared in accordance with the Corporations Act 2001 and Australian Accounting Standard AASB 134 "Interim Financial Reporting". The historical cost basis has been used.
This interim financial report does not include all notes of the type normally included in the Annual Financial Report. Accordingly, this report is to be read in conjunction with the Annual Report of Elementos Limited (the "Company") and its controlled entities (together the “Group”) as at 30 June 2017, together with public announcements made by the Company during the interim reporting period in accordance with its continuous disclosure obligations.
The accounting policies and methods of computation adopted are consistent with those of the previous financial period as disclosed in the 30 June 2017 Annual Report. There has been no new or revised Australian Accounting Standards issued by the AASB that materially affected the Company in the current period.
Going Concern
The financial statements have been prepared on a going concern basis which contemplates the continuity of normal business activities and the realisation of assets and discharge of liabilities in the ordinary course of business. The ability of the Group to maintain continuity of normal business activities and to pay its debts as and when they fall due is dependent on the ability of the Group to successfully raise additional capital and/or successful exploration and subsequent exploitation of areas of interest through sale or development. The Group has not generated any revenues from operations. During the half-year ended 31 December 2017, the Group raised $1,404,646 of cash through equity raisings and option exercises (before costs and after debt reduction).
Should the Group not be able to raise further capital, dispose of assets if required or manage its expenditure so as to conserve cash over the coming 12 months, there exists a material uncertainty regarding the Group’s ability to continue as a going concern and realise its assets and settle its liabilities and commitments in the normal course of business and at the amounts stated in the financial statements. The financial report does not include any adjustments relating to the recoverability or classification of recorded asset amounts, or to the amounts or classification of liabilities which might be necessary should the Group not be able to continue as a going concern.

Recoverability of the carrying amount of exploration assets is dependent on the successful development and commercial exploitation of projects, or alternatively through the sale of the areas of interest.
During the year ended 30 June 2017, the Board resolved to relinquish the three remaining Selwyn tenements, resulting on a write-off of $60,926 of capitalised exploration expenditure.

NOTE 7: EVENTS SUBSEQUENT TO REPORTING DATE
There were no events subsequent to reporting date that required disclosure in this financial report.
NOTE 8: SEGMENT REPORTING
Description of Segments
Operating segments have been determined on the basis of reports reviewed by the board of directors and the Chief Executive Office (chief operating decision makers) in assessing performance and determining the allocation of resources. The Group is managed primarily on a geographic basis, that is, the location of the respective areas of interest (tenements) in Australia. Operating segments are determined on the basis of financial information reported to the board of directors which is at the consolidated entity level. The Group does not have any products or services that it derives revenue from. The Group's exploration and development activities in Australia is the Group’s sole focus, primarily focused around tin and copper. The Group's previous exploration activities in Argentina and Chile, have been discontinued and sold.
Accordingly, management currently identifies the Group as having only one reportable segment, being the exploration of mineral assets in Australia. There have been no changes in the operating segments during the half-year. Accordingly, all significant operating decisions are based upon analysis of the consolidated entity as one segment. The financial results from this segment are equivalent to the financial statements of the Group as a whole.

INDEPENDENT AUDITOR’S REVIEW REPORT
To the members of Elementos Limited
Report on the Half-Year Financial Report
Conclusion
We have reviewed the half-year financial report of Elementos Limited (the Company) and its subsidiaries (the Group), which comprises the consolidated statement of financial position as at 31 December 2017, the consolidated statement of comprehensive income, the consolidated statement of changes in equity and the consolidated statement of cash flows for the half-year then ended, notes comprising a statement of accounting policies and other explanatory information, and the directors’ declaration.
Based on our review, which is not an audit, we have not become aware of any matter that makes us believe that the half-year financial report of the Group is not in accordance with the Corporations Act 2001 including:
-
(i) Giving a true and fair view of the Group’s financial position as at 31 December 2017 and of its financial performance for the half-year ended on that date; and
-
(ii) Complying with Accounting Standard AASB 134 Interim Financial Reporting and Corporations Regulations 2001.
Emphasis of matter – Material uncertainty relating to going concern
We draw attention to Note 1 in the financial report which describes the events and/or conditions which give rise to the existence of a material uncertainty that may cast significant doubt about the Group’s ability to continue as a going concern and therefore the Group may be unable to realise its assets and discharge its liabilities in the normal course of business. Our conclusion is not modified in respect of this matter.
Directors’ responsibility for the Half-Year Financial Report
The directors of the company are responsible for the preparation of the half-year financial report that gives a true and fair view in accordance with Australian Accounting Standards and the Corporations Act 2001 and for such internal control as the directors determine is necessary to enable the preparation of the half-year financial report that is free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error.

Auditor’s responsibility
Our responsibility is to express a conclusion on the half-year financial report based on our review. We conducted our review in accordance with Auditing Standard on Review Engagements ASRE 2410 Review of a Financial Report Performed by the Independent Auditor of the Entity , in order to state whether, on the basis of the procedures described, we have become aware of any matter that makes us believe that the half-year financial report is not in accordance with the Corporations Act 2001 including giving a true and fair view of the Group’s financial position as at 31 December 2017 and its financial performance for the half-year ended on that date and complying with Accounting Standard AASB 134 Interim Financial Reporting and the Corporations Regulations 2001 . As the auditor of the Group, ASRE 2410 requires that we comply with the ethical requirements relevant to the audit of the annual financial report.
A review of a half-year financial report consists of making enquiries, primarily of persons responsible for financial and accounting matters, and applying analytical and other review procedures. A review is substantially less in scope than an audit conducted in accordance with Australian Auditing Standards and consequently does not enable us to obtain assurance that we would become aware of all significant matters that might be identified in an audit. Accordingly, we do not express an audit opinion.
Independence
In conducting our review, we have complied with the independence requirements of the Corporations Act 2001 . We confirm that the independence declaration required by the Corporations Act 2001, which has been given to the directors of the Group, would be in the same terms if given to the directors as at the time of this auditor’s review report.
