Review of Operations
The Group’s operating loss for the half-year, after applicable income tax was $979,573. Exploration and evaluation expenditure during the period totalled $167,200.
At 31 December 2018, the Group’s net assets totalled $6,628,031, which included cash assets of $1,263,762.
During the period, the Company’s principal activity was the Oropesa Tin Project acquisition, progressing the Cleveland Tin Project towards a new development proposal and advancement of the acquisition of the Temengor Tin exploration project in Malaysia.
Acquisition of Oropesa Tin Project - Spain
As announced by Elementos on 31 July 2018, the acquisition by Elementos of the Oropesa Tin Project in Spain was to take place by way of a plan of arrangement under Canadian laws which provides for Eurotin Inc.(TSXV: TIN) (Eurotin) to transfer to Elementos 100% of the shares currently on issue in Minas De Estaño De España S.L.U.(MESPA), a wholly owned subsidiary of Eurotin and the holder of Oropesa.
On 9 November 2018, the Company announced satisfactory completion of its due diligence on the Oropesa Tin Project and entered into an Arrangement Agreement with Eurotin to acquire Oropesa from Eurotin Inc.
Subsequent to the end of the reporting period, due to a delay caused by the Christmas period, it was announced on 4 January 2019 that Interim Completion of the Arrangement Agreement for the acquisition of the Oropesa Tin Project from Eurotin had now occurred.
On Interim Completion the Company issued to Eurotin 1,000,000,000 convertible redeemable preference shares (CRPS).
The next step of the acquisition is the transfer to Elementos of all shares in MESPA. The change in control that will result from the transfer of MESPA shares to Elementos requires the prior approval from the relevant Spanish Regional Mining Authority.
The acquisition of Oropesa represents an excellent opportunity to create value-uplift potential for shareholders as the project is advanced towards development. Attraction of the Oropesa project, include:
-
Large, well-defined resource - A globally significant,
-
undeveloped resource with strong opportunities for expansion;
-
Open-cut mining potential –The deposit is amendable to simple drill and blast, truck and shovel open cut mining operations;
-
Simple metallurgy - extensive metallurgical testing and process flowsheet designed to produce a 62.4% tin concentrate at a 74.2% metallurgical recovery;
-
Near-term production potential – A Definitive Feasibility Study has commenced;

-
Permitting process advanced – A base-line Environmental Impact Assessment was lodged with the Government in January 2018 and a Mining License application has been submitted to the Government for approval;
-
Located close to development infrastructure - Located close to major highways which link to export ports, water supply and power supply. The region has a skilled mining workforce;
-
Low sovereign risk - The Andalucia region of Spain is home to some of the country’s most significant mining operations and part of the European Union which provides a safe investment environment;
-
Large sunk cost – significant investment in drilling, geophysics, metallurgical testing and development studies; and
-
Local community support - The local government and community is extremely supportive of the project moving ahead.
The Company has been actively engaged with the development of the Oropesa Tin Project during the half year, having commenced a series of preliminary studies to improve the overall performance of the proposed metallurgical process flowsheet.

Cleveland Project - Tasmania
During the period the Company announced a significant increase in the Cleveland open pit Mineral Resource. The Mineral Resource upgrade resulted from modelling near surface ore lenses that were not included in previous open pit Mineral Resource estimates, and increased Mineral Resources resulting from the diamond drilling programme completed in 2018 at Cleveland. The Cleveland ore body remains open at depth, along strike and down dip from the currently defined ore lenses.

INTERIM FINANCIAL REPORT 2019
Notes to the Financial Statements for the Half -Year Ended 31 December 2018
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 2018 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 2018, 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 2018 Annual Report, expect as noted below.
New and amended standards adopted by the group
A number of new or amended standards became applicable for the current reporting period and the group had to change its accounting policies as a result of adopting the following standards:
-
AASB 9 Financial Instruments; and
-
AASB 15 Revenue from Contracts with Customers.
The impact of the adoption of these standards and the new accounting policies are disclosed below. The other standards did not have any impact on the group’s accounting policies and did not require retrospective adjustments.
AASB 15 Revenue from Contracts with Customers – Impact of adoption
The group has adopted AASB 15 Revenue from Contracts with Customers from 1 July 2018. In accordance with the transition provisions in AASB 15, the group has adopted the new rules retrospectively however there was no material impact on the amounts disclosed previously and as a result there has been no restatement required as a result of reclassification or remeasurement and no change to the previously disclosed accounting policies.
AASB 9 Financial Instruments – Impact of adoption
AASB 9 replaces the provisions of AASB 139 that relate to the recognition, classification and measurement of financial assets and financial liabilities, derecognition of financial instruments, impairment of financial assets and hedge accounting.
The adoption of AASB 9 Financial Instruments from 1 July 2018 resulted in changes in accounting policies. In accordance with the transitional provisions in AASB 9(7.2.15) and (7.2.26), comparative figures have not been restated.
(i) Classification and Measurement
On 1 July 2018 (the date of initial application of AASB 9), the Group’s management has assessed which business models apply to the financial assets held by the group and has classified its financial instruments into the appropriate AASB 9 categories. There were no changes to the classification and measurement of financial assets.

INTERIM FINANCIAL REPORT 2019
Notes to the Financial Statements for the Half -Year Ended 31 December 2018
NOTE 1: SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (continued)
(ii) Impairment of financial assets
The Group has one type of financial asset that is subject to AASB 9’s new expected credit loss model, being trade and other receivables.
The group was required to revise its impairment methodology under AASB. There was no material impact of the change in impairment methodology on the group’s retained earnings and equity.
While cash and cash equivalents are also subject to the impairment requirements of AASB 9, there was no material impairment loss identified.
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 2018, the Group raised $1,227,255 of cash through equity raisings and option exercises (before costs).
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.

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.

ELEMENTOS LTD – ABN 49 138 468 756
INTERIM FINANCIAL REPORT 2019
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. As detailed in the Review of Operations and Note 7 the Company is in the process of acquiring the Oropesa Tin Project based in Spain, following completion of the acquisition the Board of Directors and Chief Executive Officer will review the operating segments moving forward.

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 2018, 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 2018 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 2018 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.
