Review of Operations

The Group’s operating loss for the half-year, after applicable income tax was $600,380.

At 31 December 2020, the Group’s net assets totalled $9,934,923, which included cash assets of $2,092,650.

During the period, the Company’s principal activity was continuing optimisation work and the commencement of exploration drilling at the Oropesa Tin Project and progressing the Cleveland Tin Project towards a new development proposal.

Oropesa Tin Project – Spain

Located in southern Spain, the Oropesa Tin Project is one of the world’s largest undeveloped, open-cut mineable tin deposits, with access to world class infrastructure.

The Company has commenced a diamond drilling exploration program at Oropesa. The program’s three principal objectives are:

  1. To convert existing Inferred Resources into Indicated Resources to improve the overall waste-to-ore stripping ratio,

  2. Confirmation of near surface, possibly fault controlled mineralisation that is currently excluded from the 2017 geological resource model, and

  3. Testing for additional near surface resources from exploration targets identified from Induced Polarisation (IP) geophysical survey anomalies.

Figure 3. Location Plan for Diamond Drill Holes Completed at the Oropesa Tin Project, Spain

Elementos’ drilling program follows the release of the Company’s Oropesa Economic Study in May 2020, which positioned the project as a low cost, globally significant new tin development with a prospective annual production of 2,440 tonnes of tin-in-concentrate over a 14-year mine life[*3] . The Economic Study was completed with a tin price of US$19,750 per tonne.

Readily executable, the development concept proposes a simple open-cut mining operation and conventional processing facility producing tin concentrates which would be shipped to smelters in Europe and Asia.

The Study valuation also found a base case pre-tax NPV8% of approximately US$92m and post tax NPV8% of approximately US$66m. The pre-tax Internal Rate of Return is approximately 25% and the payback period is approximately four years.

The Study incorporated additional work completed at Oropesa since the Initial Preliminary Economic Assessment was released in 2014. Additional work included a pilot plant metallurgical test program, ore pre-

INTERIM FINANCIAL REPORT 2021

concentration testing, exploration drilling and development of an updated geological resource model, hydrogeological and geotechnical studies and advanced environmental impact assessment studies.

The company has identified significant areas of the Study that have the potential to be optimised and add significant additional value to the project.

Oropesa represents an excellent opportunity to create value-uplift potential for shareholders as the project is advanced towards development.

Table 1. Summary of financial and technical information (forecast numbers are approximate)

Following the completion of the Economic Study, Elementos is now seeking to further boost financial returns at Oropesa. The Company has commenced an optimisation program designed to increase the project’s overall resource, annual production and mine life.

Activities currently underway include;

  • Resource Conversion Drilling . Drilling targeting the conversion of near surface Inferred Resources to Indicated Resources. This will aim to improve the waste-to-ore stripping ratio by incorporating additional mineral resources into an updated mineral resource.

  • Fault Controlled Mineralisation Drilling . Drilling designed to confirm interpreted near-surface fault controlled mineralisation that has been identified from historical exploration data. This has the potential to significantly expand the resource, especially at shallow levels.

  • Wider Tenement Potential Drilling. Drilling targeting geophysical and geochemical anomalies that have been identified lying along strike and north and south of the Oropesa orebody. Drill hole P53 has been completed, targeting an IP (geophysical) anomaly 600m to the northwest of the current geological resource. Semi-masive sulphides were intersected at 188.9m for 1.2m at a grade of 0.24% Sn.

  • Estimation of a new JORC Geological Resource . Geological reinterpretation of the Oropesa orebody following the current drilling program, incorporating a low-grade tin halo that is currently excluded from the current JORC resource that was used in the Economic Study. The outcome of this drilling may result in an increase in tin production at no additional mining cost.

ELEMENTOS LTD – ABN 49 138 468 756

INTERIM FINANCIAL REPORT 2021

  • Environmental Approvals . Advancing the resubmission the of the project’s Environmental Authority Application. This involves the final completion of a number of studies, resubmission to the relevant government authority, and associated statutory obligations

  • Engineering Studies . Progress the engineering studies for the process plant and site infrastructure, including tailings dam design.

  • COVID-19 . Provide additional resources in the uncertain Covid-19 environment

The Company is confident that optimisation works will present an opportunity to extract considerably more value from the project.

Cleveland Tin Project - Tasmania

The Cleveland Tin Project is located 80km southwest of Burnie in the mineral-rich northwest region of Tasmania, Australia. It is a historic mine boasting excellent power, water and transport infrastructure.

Interstate travel restrictions due to the COVID – 19 pandemic have prevented any field work being carried out at Cleveland during the reporting period.

Work continues at Cleveland on identification of additional exploration targets and an official submission of the new development proposal for the mine design of a combined open cut/tailings retreatment project.

INTERIM FINANCIAL REPORT 2021

Amid surging tin prices, Elementos resumed exploration activities at Cleveland Tin Project to assess the potential for additional tin resources and identify drill targets. The program involved:

  • Reconnaissance geological mapping to confirm the presence of the geological mine sequence within the untested Self-Potential (SP) anomalies (Halls Formation and adjacent Crescent Spur Sandstone)

  • Collection and assay of rock chip samples from within the untested SP anomalies

  • Reconnaissance of potential access tracks and drill pad sites to drill test the SP anomalies.

Four of the five rock chip samples that were collected contained visible sulphide mineralisation with the most significant assay being 0.7% Sn, 0.57% Cu, & 13.4% Zn from sample 130403 (see Tables 4 & 5).

INTERIM FINANCIAL REPORT 2021

Notes to the Financial Statements for the Half -Year Ended 31 December 2020

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 2020 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 2020, 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 2020 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. The impact of the adoption of these standards did not have any impact on the group’s accounting policies and did not require retrospective adjustments.

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 2020, the Group raised $3,324,969 through a combination of a placement and share purchase plan and converted $500,000 of the outstanding loan balance with its Chairman.

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 (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 and Spain. Operating segments are determined on the basis of financial information reported to the board of directors.

Accordingly, management currently identifies the Group as having two reportable segments, being Australia and Spain. This has changed from previous half year reporting period as a result of the completion of the Oropesa Tin Project acquisition.

Basis of accounting for purposes of reporting by operating segments.

(a) Accounting policies adopted

Unless stated otherwise, all amounts reported to the Board of Directors, being the chief decision maker with respect to operating segments, are determined in accordance with accounting policies that are consistent to those adopted in the annual financial statements of the Group.

(b) Segment Assets

Where an asset is used across multiple segments, the asset is allocated to that segment that receives majority economic value from that asset. In the majority of instances, segment assets are clearly identifiable on the basis of their nature and physical location.

NOTE 8: SEGMENT REPORTING (continued)

(c) Segment Liabilities

Liabilities are allocated to segments where there is a direct nexus between the incurrence of the liability and the operations of the segment. Segment liabilities include trade and other payables, lease liabilities and borrowings.

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 2020, the consolidated statement of comprehensive income, the consolidated statement of changes in equity and the consolidated statement of cash flows for the half-year ended on that date, a summary of significant 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 accompanying half-year financial report of the Group does not comply with the Corporations Act 2001 including:

  • (i) Giving a true and fair view of the Group’s financial position as at 31 December 2020 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 the Corporations Regulations 2001.

Basis for conclusion

We conducted our review in accordance with ASRE 2410 Review of a Financial Report Performed by the Independent Auditor of the Entity . Our responsibilities are further described in the Auditor’s Responsibilities for the Review of the Financial Report section of our report. We are independent of the Company in accordance with the auditor independence requirements of the Corporations Act 2001 and the ethical requirements of the Accounting Professional and Ethical Standards Board’s APES 110 Code of Ethics for Professional Accountants (including Independence Standards) (the Code) that are relevant to the audit of the annual financial report in Australia. We have also fulfilled our other ethical responsibilities in accordance with the Code.

We confirm that the independence declaration required by the Corporations Act 2001 which has been given to the directors of the Company, would be the same terms if given to the directors as at the time of this auditor’s review report.

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.

Responsibility of the directors for the 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 for the review of the financial report

Our responsibility is to express a conclusion on the half-year financial report based on our review. ASRE 2410 requires us to conclude whether 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 Company’s financial position as at 31 December 2020 and its performance for the half-year ended on that date, and complying with Accounting Standard AASB 134 Interim Financial Reporting and the Corporations Regulations 2001.

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.
