ESG Position Statement
Elementos established an Environmental, Social and Governance (ESG) position statement as part of its desire to mature its global tin assets into production in a responsible way.
Elementos developed this statement via a strategic review with boutique global ESG and project advisory firm, Adaptus. The review established visibility on material ESG themes through:
-
A detailed analysis of relevant statutory and voluntary ESG disclosure and reporting frameworks;
-
Analysis of applicable mining industry standards and trends for sustainability;
-
Analysis of current compliance requirements and emerging regulatory and social licence trends in Spain, Australia and the EU; and,
-
Analysis of stated ESG requirements of the investor and lending community.
Elementos’ ESG position statement is as follows:
Elementos will develop and operate its mining assets in accordance with evolving industry ESG and sustainability practices, comply with international laws and regulatory requirements and uphold its high standards of safety, business integrity and values. Elementos is committed to local economic development, environmental protection, and social progress by delivering responsibly sourced tin into the global market including the clean technology supply chain.
Elementos aims to further enhance its corporate governance policies to facilitate achievement of its ESG commitments, leveraging its existing performance standards and compliance in the highly regulated jurisdictions of Australia, Spain and the EU.
Looking forward, Elementos plans to complete the necessary actions to:
-
Establish an ESG sub-committee as part of its Board,
-
Demonstrate compliance with European and OECD regulations that govern responsibly sourced tin, including the Tin Code,
-
Demonstrate commitment to community and economic development and developing long-term relationships.
As Elementos matures its projects into production, alongside its commitment to the health and safety of its people and the communities in which it operates, Elementos will include in its development philosophy and decision-making consideration of:
-
Maximising extraction of the contained mineral resource,
-
Minimising ecological footprint,
-
Minimising GHG emissions through use of alternative energy sources and electrification of plant and equipment,
-
Minimising the impact of tailings storage facilities,
-
Minimising air quality impacts,
-
Maximising water recycling,
-
Leading practices in diversity and inclusion, and
-
Potential impacts of climate change on its operations.
Elementos will continue to monitor the evolving ESG landscape and ensure its ESG commitments remain relevant and effective in a changing environment.
Elementos included this statement in its 2021 Annual Report and plans to report on its ESG progress as part of its Annual Report each year.

European Raw Materials Alliance (ERMA)
Elementos is pleased to announce it has joined the European Raw Materials Alliance (ERMA), an alliance co-funded by the European Union (EU) in 2020 to strengthen European raw material value chains. The ERMA was established to ensure a reliable, secure and sustainable access to raw materials, with additional focus on metals, minerals and advanced materials that are the key enablers for a globally competitive, green, and digital Europe.
Elementos, as 100% owner of the Oropesa Tin Project in Spain, was accepted as a member and now has access to the investment, technical and regulatory support of the alliance to promote the development of Oropesa. This acknowledgment by the ERMA confirms the critical importance of tin from Oropesa to the hightech value chains of Europe.
About ERMA
ERMA is an alliance between public and private sectors, that provides an open and independent forum for discussion and analysis, as well as a mechanism for translating potential projects into actual activities and infrastructures that will contribute to creating longlasting added value and jobs for Europe. ERMA identifies barriers, opportunities and investment cases to build capacity at all stages of the raw materials value
chain, from mining to waste recovery. It complies with EU competition rules and EU international trade commitments.
ERMA’s vision is to secure access to critical and strategic raw materials, advanced materials, and processing know-how for EU Industrial Ecosystems. The alliance will involve all relevant stakeholders, including industrial actors along the value chain, Member States and regions, trade unions, civil society, research and technology organisations, investors and NGOs.
“Elementos is delighted to be accepted into the ERMA. The ERMA is the key body within Europe that identifies and supports the development of the raw materials (mining) value-chain projects. As major economies rapidly move toward securing the supply of critical minerals, of which tin is listed, Elementos will continue to work with governments (and their nominated organisations) to ensure our tin projects feed into the value chains where warranted.”

Oropesa Project
Located in southern Spain, the Oropesa Tin Project is one of the world’s largest undeveloped, opencut mineable tin deposits, with access to world class infrastructure. Elementos is developing Oropesa as its first mining operation.
Mineral Resource Program
-
Investigate additional near-surface resources from exploration targets identified from Induced Polarisation (IP) geophysical survey anomalies.
-
Estimate a new JORC Geological Resource as part of a wider optimisation program designed to increase the project’s overall resource, annual production rate and mine life.
During the quarter, the company completed the diamond drilling exploration program at Oropesa that commenced during the fourth quarter of 2020. The program’s principal objectives were to:
-
Upgrade the confidence of existing Inferred Resources to a higher JORC Classification.
-
Confirm near-surface, possibly fault controlled mineralisation that is not currently included in the 2018 geological resource model.
The drilling component of the program was completed with a total of 46 diamond drill holes drilled for 5,654m. The final assays were received on 28 September and the Mineral Resource Estimate is targeting completion in early Q4. The drilling program was progressively modified from the original plan as results were interpreted from completed drill holes.
Significant assays previously reported from the drilling program are shown in Table 1.

Pilot scale metallurgical test work
-
75% completed.
-
Main phases of pilot plant testing completed
-
Tin flotation and concentrate dressing underway
-
Final reporting will then complete the program.
Geotechnical works program
-
50% drill holes completed
-

Cleveland Project
Elementos’ Cleveland Tin Project is located 80km southwest of Burnie in the mineral-rich northwest region of Tasmania, Australia. It is a historic underground mine site boasting excellent power, water and transport infrastructure.
The JORC geological resource for Cleveland contains 7.47mt at 0.75% Sn and 0.3% Cu (Indicated: 6.23mt at 0.75% Sn and 0.3% Cu, Inferred: 1.24mt at 0.76% Sn and 0.3% Cu)[9] .
Following the exploration and reconnaissance mapping program conducted during the first quarter of 2021, Elementos designed a diamond drilling program comprising four drill holes, totalling 1000m, to test historical SP anomalies along strike to the northeast of the current resource. Elementos received approval for a standard Work Program from Mineral Resources Tasmania for the drilling program during September.
Site preparation work for the commencement of the drilling program is planned to be completed during the next reporting period, following delays due to COVID restrictions.

Tin Price
The tin cash settlement price rose by approximately 11.5% during the reporting period. The LME tin price at the end of reporting period was US$36,550/t (www.LME.com 30 September 2021).
Notably, during the quarter, the tin price reached an all time high of US$37,600/t on 29 September 2021. Subsequent to the quarter, tin prices continued to establish all time records, reaching US$39,600/t on 18 October 2021.
Tin LME spot cash prices have now remained above US$30k for over five months. In addition, tin 3-month and 15-month forward prices have held above US$32k and US$30k respectively for over four months. Chinese tin prices also continue to trade at a significant premium, with Shanghai Metals Market reporting all time highs, US$45,757/t (19 October 2021), with tin metal premium to LME ~US$6000/t, +15%).
The price increase appears to continue to be driven by a fundamental undersupply of tin into the market which has increasing demand and global warehouse stocks at record lows.
