Review of Operations
The Group’s operating loss for the half-year, after applicable income tax was $1,068,413 which included $388,112 of expenditure on the Oropesa Tin Project.
At 31 December 2019, the Group’s net assets totalled $4,614,250, which included cash assets of $153,277.
During the period, the Company’s principal activity was the Oropesa Tin Project acquisition and progressing the Cleveland Tin Project towards a new development proposal.
Acquisition of Oropesa Tin Project - Spain
Elementos has now received all shares in Minas De Estana De Espana S.L.U. (MESPA), a key component of the Arrangement Agreement signed with Eurotin Ltd (TSX-V:TIN) for the acquisition of the Oropesa Tin Project.
MESPA, previously a wholly owned subsidiary of Eurotin, is the holder of the Oropesa Project. Subsequent to the financial reporting period the Company has completed the transaction and converted the convertible redeemable preference shares (CRPS), which were previously issued by Elementos and distributed to Eurotin shareholders as consideration for the acquisition, in accordance with the terms of the Arrangement Agreement and subsequent Variations to the Agreement. The completion of the acquisition of the Oropesa Tin Project represents a significant step forward in the growth of Elementos as a multi-project tin development company.
==> picture [196 x 180] intentionally omitted <==
The Company has commenced a detailed Economic Study of the Oropesa Tin Project. This Economic Study will be the first update for shareholders on the economic potential of the project since a Preliminary Economic Assessment (PEA) was released on the TSX-V in July 2014 (prepared by SRK Consulting UK Ltd). The PEA is available for viewing under Eurotin’s profile on SEDAR (www.sedar.com).
This Economic Study is being carried out for the purpose of incorporating results from additional work completed on the Oropesa Project since the PEA was released in 2014. This additional work has included a pilot plant metallurgical test programme, ore pre-concentration test work, additional exploration drilling and production of an updated geological resource model, hydrogeological and geotechnical studies and advanced environmental impact assessment studies.
This updated Economic Study is being developed by various independent consultants, including:
-
IGAN Consultores, Oviedo, Spain (IGAN) - responsible for the mine design and schedule;
-
Wardell Armstrong International UK - responsible for the metallurgical test work; and
-
Soluciones, Concentradores Y Procesos de Ingeniería, S.L. (SCYPI) - responsible for the process plant design, capital and operational costs

Subsequent Events
The following significant events occurred subsequent to the reporting date:
-
The Company announced on 24 January 2020 the appointment of Mr Brett Smith as Non-Executive Director.
-
During February 2020, the Company received $250,000 upon a drawdown of the loan facility with Mr Andy Greig.
-
As announced on 14 January 2020 the Company completed the acquisition of the Oropesa Tin Project from Eurotin Inc. The completion of the transaction represents the acquisition of the Oropesa Tin Project which includes the tenement 13.050 and all historical exploration information including drilling results, core samples, environmental and development applications. No goodwill is recognised on the transaction.
As part of the acquisition Elementos assumed a CAD$1m loan owed from MESPA to Eurotin’s Chief Executive officer and Eurotin and subsequently Elementos’ largest shareholder, Mark Wellings. The Loan is unsecured, accrues interest at a rate of 5.0% p.a. and is to be repaid by the second anniversary of the Final Completion. In support of the Loan Agreement, Elementos has issued to Mark Wellings a convertible debenture, pursuant to which Mark Wellings shall have the right to convert, from time to time, up to the principal amount and all accrued interest into Elementos shares at a price equal to the higher of the 20 day VWAP of Elementos shares preceding the date that Mark Wellings provides notice of his intention to convert and $0.004 per share. Conversion during the term of the Convertible Debenture will be subject to Elementos’ prior consent, other than during a 10 business day period at the end of the Convertible Debenture’s terms.
At interim completion the Company issued 1,000,000,000 convertible redeemable preference shares to Euortin Inc. shareholders. On 14 January 2020 the Company confirmed that final completion had occurred and the CRPS had converted on a 1 for 1 basis to 1,000,000,000 fully paid ordinary shares of Elementos Ltd.
The below pro-forma balance sheet considers the impact of the Acquisition of the Spanish subsidiary MESPA (which holds the Oropesa Tin Project) as if it had occurred on 31 December 2019.

INTERIM FINANCIAL REPORT 2020
Notes to the Financial Statements for the Half -Year Ended 31 December 2019
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 2019 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 2019, 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 2019 Annual Report, expect as noted below.
New and amended standards adopted by the group
The following standards became applicable for the current reporting period and the group had to change its accounting policies as a result of adopting AASB 16 Leases.
AASB 16 Leases
This standard and its consequential amendments are applicable to annual reporting periods beginning on or after 1 January 2019. This standard replaces the accounting requirements applicable to leases in AASB 117 Leases and related interpretations. AASB 16 introduces a single lessee accounting model that eliminates the requirement for leases to be classified as operating or finance leases. This means that for most leases, a rightto-use asset and a liability will be recognised, with the right-to-use asset being depreciated and the liability being unwound in principal and interest components over the life of the lease.
Upon adoption of this standard, the Consolidated Entity transitioned using the modified retrospective approach, where the right-of-use asset is recognised at the date of initial application at an amount equal to the lease liability, using the entity’s incremental borrowing rate at 1 July 2019. Comparative figures are not restated. Based on the transition approach and the entity’s current leasing arrangements, there were no material impacts in the current or future reporting periods and on foreseeable future transactions.
In applying AASB 16 for the first time, the group has used the following practical expedients permitted by the standard:
- the accounting for operating leases with a remaining lease term of less than 12 months as at 1 July 2019 as short-term leases.
There are no other standards that are not yet effective and that would be expected to have a material impact on the entity in the current or future reporting periods and on foreseeable future transactions.
Accounting policy adopted from 1 July 2019
Lease Liabilities
Lease liabilities include the net present value of the following lease payments:
-
fixed payments (including in-substance fixed payments), less any lease incentives receivable;
-
variable lease payment that are based on an index or a rate, initially measured using the index or rate as at the commencement date;
-
amounts expected to be payable by the Group under residual value guarantees;

the exercise price of a purchase option if the group is reasonably certain to exercise that option; and
-
payments of penalties for terminating the lease, if the lease term reflects the group exercising that option.
Lease payments to be made under reasonably certain extension options are also included in the measurement of the liability. The lease payments are discounted using the interest rate implicit in the lease. If that rate cannot be readily determined, which is generally the case for leases that relate to building premises, the entity’s incremental borrowing rate is used, being the rate that the individual lessee would have to pay to borrow the funds necessary to obtain an asset of similar value to the right-of-use asset in a similar economic environment with similar terms, security and conditions.
The Group is exposed to potential future increases in variable lease payments based on an index or rate, which are not included in the lease liability until they take effect. When adjustments to lease payments based on an index or rate take effect, the lease liability is reassessed and adjusted against the right-of-use asset.
Lease payments are allocated between principal and finance cost. The finance cost is charged to profit or loss over the lease period so as to produce a constant periodic rate of interest on the remaining balance of the liability for each period.
Right-of-use Assets
Right-of-use assets are measured at cost comprising the following:
-
the amount of the initial measurement of lease liability
-
any lease payments made at or before the commencement date less any lease incentives received
-
any initial direct costs, and
-
restoration costs.
Right-of-use assets are generally depreciated over the shorter of the asset's useful life and the lease term on a straight-line basis. If the Group is reasonably certain to exercise a purchase option, the right-of-use asset is depreciated over the underlying asset’s useful life.
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 2019, the Group received $750,000 following drawdowns from the unsecured loan provided by the Chairman of the Group, with $1,250,000 still available under the facility.
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 7: EVENTS SUBSEQUENT TO REPORTING DATE
The following significant events occurred subsequent to the reporting date:
- As announced on 14 January 2020 the Company completed the acquisition of the Oropesa Tin Project from Eurotin Inc. The completion of the transaction represents the acquisition of the Oropesa Tin Project which includes the tenement 13.050 and all historical exploration information including drilling results, core samples, environmental and development applications. No goodwill is recognised on the transaction.
As part of the acquisition, Elementos assumed a CAD$1m loan (payable to Eurotin’s Chief Executive Officer and Eurotin and subsequently Elementos’ largest shareholder, Mark Wellings). The Loan is unsecured, accrues interest at a rate of 5.0% p.a. and is to be repaid by the second anniversary of the Final Completion date being 14 Jan 2022. In support of the Loan Agreement, Elementos has issued to Mark Wellings a convertible debenture, pursuant to which Mark Wellings shall have the right to convert, from time to time, up to the principal amount and all accrued interest into Elementos shares at a price equal to the higher of the 20 day VWAP of Elementos shares preceding the date that Mark Wellings provides notice of his intention to convert and $0.004 per share. Conversion during the term of the

Convertible Debenture will be subject to Elementos’ prior consent, other than during a 10 business day period at the end of the Convertible Debenture’s terms.
At interim completion, the Company issued 1,000,000,000 Convertible Redeemable Preference Shares (CRPS) to Euortin Inc. shareholders. On 14 January 2020, the Company confirmed that final completion had occurred and the CRPS had converted on a 1 for 1 basis to 1,000,000,000 fully paid ordinary shares of Elementos Ltd.
-
The Company announced on 24 January 2020 the appointment of Mr Brett Smith as Non-Executive Director.
-
During February 2020, the Company received $250,000 upon a drawdown of the loan facility with Mr Andy Greig.
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.
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 Group 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 at the reporting date the Company was 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 2019, the consolidated statement of profit or loss and other comprehensive income, the consolidated statement of changes in equity and the consolidated statement of cash flows for the halfyear 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 2019 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 2019 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.
