ELEMENTOS TOMORROW’S TIN

QUARTERLY REPORT For the period ended 31 March 2022

==> picture [596 x 62] intentionally omitted <==

Elementos is an emerging tin producer focused on the responsible development of two high-grade tin projects in stable and mature mining jurisdictions.

The company’s portfolio comprises two development assets:

Oropesa Project, Spain

One of the world’s few undeveloped, open-cut mineable tin deposits, with access to world class infrastructure. Elementos is developing Oropesa to produce tin concentrate, a commodity trading at alltime high prices, with high strategic value to major global economies as they transition to green economy infrastructure.

Cleveland Project, Tasmania

A significant tin-copper (and Tungsten) Mineral Resource amenable to both open-cut and underground mining techniques, located in a premium mining district with excellent infrastructure. The project retains plenty of exploration upside, and also hosts notable tungsten mineralisation at depth.

Safety

No recordable injuries during the quarter at either the Oropesa or Cleveland Tin Projects. A review of the Site Safety System in Spain (Oropesa Project) is currently underway to ensure the operation is making all efforts to eliminate hazards via identification and mitigation. Mechnical aids are also being procured to minimise lifting injuries associate with the logging and warehousing and of drill core and samples.

QUARTER HIGHLIGHTS

  • Optimisation Study delivered, confirming a 1.25Mtpa operation at the Oropesa Tin Project, confirming the basis of design for the Definitive Feasibility Study (DFS).

  • Oropesa appointed to Project Accelerator Group by Andalucian Government in Spain.

  • Oropesa feasibility development programs significantly progressed to further mature project data for the DFS.

  • Five-hole drilling program underway at Cleveland Tin Project.

  • Tin prices reach all-time highs on both the London Metals Exchange (LME) and Shanghai Futures Exchange (SHFE) during quarter,

  • Early exercise of options (April-22) supports $4.1m cash position at the end of the quarter.

  • CEO Joe David appointed to Managing Director.

POST-QUARTER

  • Oropesa Tin Project submits Regulatory documentation (Mining Licence Application and Environmental Impact Study) to significantly progress the approvals of the project.

  • Continued exercise of options during April-22 results in cash balance of $7.0m on 28-April-22. Providing significant funds to complete Oropesa DFS.

2 Quarterly Report for the period ended 31 March 2022

Oropesa Project

Located in southern Spain, the Oropesa Tin Project is one of the world’s few undeveloped, open-cut mineable tin deposits, with access to world-class infrastructure. Elementos is developing Oropesa as its first mining operation.

Optimisation Study Delivered

  • Oropesa Tin Project Optimisation Study confirms robust 1.25Mtpa project, capable of producing 3,350 tonnes of contained tin per year.

  • Production Target of 15.50Mt at 0.37%Sn.

  • On a base case tin price of US$32,500 per tonne, Oropesa’s Optimisation Study has confirmed:

  • Pre-tax ungeared NPV8% of approximately A$292m and post-tax NPV8% of approximately A$198m.

  • Pre-tax Internal Rate of Return is approximately 46%.

  • Mine life of at least 13 years, Payback period of ~ 2.5 years.

  • The Study underwrites a globally significant tin project, with a Production Target of 15.5Mt Run of Mine (RoM) Ore.

  • Elementos to use 1.25Mtpa project scale as the basis of an Oropesa DFS and for Spanish Environmental & Mining licence applications.

The Optimisation Study (ASX 29 March 2022) confirmed a significant increase from Elementos’ previous 2020 Updated Economic Study (750ktpa operation, US$92M NPV8, Pre-tax). The increase in project scale includes increases to mining, ore sorting, processing, and supporting infrastructure and is

designed to comply with the Spanish mining and environmental regulations, including back-fill and rehabilitation of the open-pit.

Elementos has redesigned the mine to comply with all known environmental and mining licence regulations and restrictions, with a focus on minimising disturbed areas and environmental impacts. A major update to the prior Study is the design and costing of the back-fill and rehabilitation of the open pit, tailings dam, waste dumps and all project infrastructure. This Study is fully aligned with the regulatory requirements submitted to the Andalucían Government on 6 April 2022. These regulatory submissions included both the Environmental Impact Assessment and Exploitation Licence application (Mining Licence). Elementos will use the matured design and upgraded scale confirmed by the Optimisation Study as the basis for a DFS.

Cleveland Tin 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 electrical, water and transport infrastructure.

During the reporting period the company commenced a 1,230m five-hole diamond drilling programme. This included the construction of access tracks and drill pads in accordance with approvals from Mineral Resources Tasmania (MRT) (ASX 9th February 2022). The drilling programme is supported by the Tasmanian Government’s $50,000 Exploration Drilling Grant Initiative program (EDGI).

Two drill holes were completed during the reporting period for a total of 580m. The first drill hole that has been completed (C2119 – 300m) targeted an untested zone that occurs between northeast dipping and

southwest dipping limbs of the historical underground mine workings and current JORC 2012 compliant Mineral Resource.

The second completed drill hole (C2120 – 280m) is one of four diamond drill holes that have been targeted at testing self-potential (SP) geophysical anomalies along strike and to the northeast of the existing resource. Downhole geophysics are planned for the drill holes targeting the SP anomalies.

A third drill hole (C2121 – 250m) was completed subsequent to the end of the reporting period.

The drill holes are currently being geologically and geotechnically logged and sampled by company personnel for analysis at ALS laboratories in Burnie. The company will update the market with resulting assays as they become available.

Tin Price

The tin cash settlement price rose by approximately 12.2% during the quarter. The LME tin price at the end of the reporting period was US$44,200/t (www.LME.com 31 March 2022).

Subsequent to the quarter, the tin price reached alltime highs of US$50,050/t on 09 March 2022.

In addition, tin three-month and 15-month forward prices ended at US$43k and US$42k respectively.

Tin LME spot cash prices have remained above US$30k for nearly twelve months. Chinese tin prices also continue to trade at a significant premium, with Shanghai Metals Market reporting all time highs during March-2022, reamining above $52k/t at the end of the quarter. The China tin metal premium to LME ranged from approximately~US$6-12k/t during the period.

The tin price appears to continue to show strength and be driven by a fundamental undersupply of tin into the global market which has increasing demand and supply into the deficit remaining challenged.
