Oropesa Tin Project
Andalucia, Spain
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 Europe’s next significant tin mine.
During the quarter the company made significant progress in maturing the project through the Definitive Feasibility Study, working with the authorities assessing the Mining, Environmental and Water Licences, and further definition drilling of the Mineral Resource.
Definitive Feasibility Study (DFS)
The company continues to rapidly progress the Oropesa Tin Project DFS, via its subsidiary Minas de Estaño de España, and with the support of its Integrated Owners Team (IoT). The IoT is led by our Australian Owner’s Engineer, Wave International, and our Spanish study team, Soluciones Concentradores y Procesos de Ingeniería S.L (SCYPI). This IoT approach allows us to deliver best-for-project in-country solutions with experienced local contractors and consultants, whist also meeting the high regulatory requirements of being an Australian listed entity subject to ASX and the JORC code.

The maturity of the Spanish mining industry is high and key on-ground, laboratory and follow-up workstreams have been completed by local Spanish companies, with the support of our local landholders and stakeholders. Where international experience and reporting is required, we have used international firms which have a firmly established reputations in base metals, tin, formal studies, reporting, financing and offtake. We take pleasure in presenting the names of our Integrated Owners Team for the Oropesa Tin Project Definitive Feasibility Study in the below schematic:
Oropesa DFS Integrated Owners Team
==> picture [511 x 238] intentionally omitted <==
The Integrated Owners Team held in-person meetings in Spain during November 2022. These meeting and workshops strengthened the already strong working relationships between the study management teams and other technical specific contributors. The team has continued to progress significantly on many fronts including the following summaries:
-
Mineral Resource Drilling & Updated Mineral Resource Estimate
-
During the quarter the Company completed the drilling phase of a programme of work designed to convert the remaining Inferred Resources that reside within the 2022 Optimisation Study US$$30,000[1] pit shell to a higher category.
-
The infill drilling program consisted of 10 diamond drill holes. Assays for nine of the drill holes have been reported with assays pending for the 10th drill hole at the time of reporting. The drilling program confirmed the robustness of the current Mineral Resource model.
-
The company plans on updating the Oropesa Tin Project Mineral Resource Estimate during Q1-2023. The results of which will support the DFS and be available for the assessment to become JORC Ore Reserves.

3. Mineral Process Plant
-
Mineral Process Plant design matured significantly throughout the quarter working with our Early Contractor Involvement (ECI) partner Duro Felguera (DF), an experienced Spanish EPC contractor.
-
Battery limits were finalised in November and DF will add Non-Process Infrastructure (NPI) & Buildings, Services and the Main Substation into their ECI scope.
-
Confirmation of Mass and Water Balances and associated Process Criteria.
-
RFQs issued, received and assed for the main process / mechanical equipment, with Mechanical Equipment List close to finalisation.
-
Full-form EPC Contract drafted by Elementos and under review by DF, based on fully agreed EPC Term-sheet.
4. Non-Process Infrastructure
Power Supply

-
Technical engagement with local supply authority (Endesa) to establish interconnection to existing network.
-
Study completed on alternative forms of power generation completed (waste energy recovery, renewable alternatives).
For the quarter ending 31 December 2022
6
Water Management / Water Supply
-
Upgraded real-time weather station installed on project to supplement on-line water monitors.
-
Additional refinement of the site water model has been undertaken and now run over 100-year of local rainfall data. This is part of climate change stress testing which will be required by debt funding partners. It also supports assessment of off-site release (in extreme wet conditions), and makeup water requirements (in extreme dry conditions) during construction and operations.
Site Access Roads
-
Site access road design (by Geolen) development, ~5km from public road to site, has progressed significantly with the route being finalised and design being completed. This includes reviews with the Roads Authorities on interfaces with the public roads.
-
Upgrade of surrounding public roads has been confirmed with the road authorities, with only 1.7km of local public road (CO-8404) requiring a minor widening (~1m) and a single turning intersection required to access the non-public site entry. Confirmation no upgrade required to highway (N-432) or highway intersection.
-
Geolen has also initiated investigations of the re-routing of the existing farming track, which runs across the proposed pit. An alignment around the mine has been designed to maintain access to affected properties.
Sitewide Layout / Civils
-
Development of the site-wide overall layout is being refined by the Wave Civil Engineering team to reflect the latest information from:
-
Mine planning pit shells and ramps (Optimal Mining)
-
Run of Mine (RoM) pads and crushing infrastructure (Optimal and DF)
-
Tailings Dam and Waste Dump locations (GEM)
-
Water dam locations (GEM)
-
Drainage requirements (Ayterra and Geolen)
-
Access road site entry (Geolen)
-
Transmission of power, water lines, communications and services (Norvento & Geolen)
-
Updated process plant layouts and pads (DF)
-
Buildings, warehouses, offices, carparks (DF, Wave)
5. Tailings Dam and Waste Dump Facilities
-
GEM completed a significant on-ground geotechnical campaign for the key infrastructure locations, followed by factual and interpretative reporting.
-
A key side of the originally proposed tailings dam location has been interpreted as possible for sub-surface faulting, which without further geotechnical investigations proves an unacceptable risk to the safety of the facility and therefore the project. This has resulted in the need to slightly re-position the tailings dam during the period, with the new design close to finalisation.
-
The waste dump has also been re-optimised to not only synch with the updated tailings dam location but reduce waste rock haul out of the pit. This reduction in waste haulage distance reduces truck turn-around time, diesel burn, CO2 emissions and operating cost. The updated DFS mine plan will schedule waste movement based on this updated waste dump location.
For the quarter ending 31 December 2022

6. DFS Metallurgical test work
-
The Pilot-scale metallurgical test work was completed and announced at the end of the September quarter. During the December Quarter the full metallurgical reporting was completed and finalised with the company.
-
Separate to the DFS Metallurgical test work on tin – the company continues to assess ( at Wardell Armstrong labs) the possibility of producing a by-produce zinc concentrate from the ore feed. The zinc concentrate byproduct business case will not contribute to the Oropesa DFS but will continue to be studied as a valueengineering opportunity. The design of the process plant and key infrastructure is being future proofed for the addition of zinc circuits if the decision to include is reached.
Oropesa Tin Project Permit Approvals Update
Following Elementos’ key submissions to the Junta de Andalucía on 6[th] April 2022[5] , the company has been in regular contact with the key government departments (Environment, Mining and Water Authorities) and continues to work closely with the Andalucian Government’s Project Accelerator Unit (PAU) which is providing substantial and effective levels of support. The approvals timeline has been setback from initial estimates due to the government shutdown before the 2022 Andalucian elections and the subsequent wait for key head of departments to be appointed. Since September-2022 the interaction with governmental agencies has been regular, robust and positive; with the company maintaining its schedule of first concentrate production during 2025, based on key approvals being received late 2023 and early 2024.
Environmental & Mining Approvals
On the 14th of November the Environmental Department invited the project to proceed to the Public Exhibition phase of the permit assessment, a key and material step of licensing progression. However, at this point in time, the company is unable to proceed into the Public Exhibition stage due to the Mining Department having not yet submitted a key document (approval of our rehabilitation plan) to the Environmental department. The company and the Project Accelerator Unit (PAU) are working closely together to overcome this inter-governmental challenge, which appears to be due to a department resourcing issue rather than any material concerns over our project or the proposed rehabilitation plan. The company has seized this time delay to appoint additional expert local consultants (Bird species, Oaktree management and Hydrological affection) to further fortify our original submissions and address postulated feedback that may come from community groups and NGOs, based on common feedback from similar projects within Spain and European Union.
Water Licences
The project has been in regular contact with the Water Authorities (Guadalquivir Water Basin) since it’s April-2022 submissions, including having them visit the project site on the 4th of August 2022. From a water domain viewpoint, no reflags have been raised by the Authority and the aquifer (and public domain) affect is not considered critical, as the aquifer depletion is not considered an issue due to its relatively small size and localised nature. However, separate from the initial technical review the Water Authority has subsequently advised, on an administrative process basis, that the project make an additional application under Article 4.7 (Water Framework Directive) which is a European Directive to prevent the deterioration of water and preserve the good status or potential of all surface and underground waters in terms of chemical, ecological and quantitative matters. This Article 4.7 hydrological and hydrogeological submission has been a major focus of the study team during the Quarter and should be ready for submission late Q1-2023. We are working closely with the Andalucian authorities, the project accelerator unit (PAU) and the Water Authority to expedite the assessment of this Article 4.7. As further timeframes are established with the Authorities regarding water licencing, we will update the market.

Oropesa Exploration
During the quarter the Company completed the drilling phase of a programme of work designed to convert the remaining Inferred Resources that reside within the 2022 Optimisation Study US$$30,000[4] pit shell to a higher category.
The infill drilling program consisted of 10 diamond drill holes. Assays for nine of the drill holes have been reported with assays pending for the 10[th] drill hole at the time of reporting. The drilling program confirmed the robustness of the current Mineral Resource model.

Figure 4 . Plan of the location of the 2022 infill drilling program within the south-eastern section of the 2022 Scoping Study US$30,000/t pit shell.
Elementos is continuing to upload and validate all historical work into a master-hole database, which is Micromine Geobank. With our consultants, Elemental Exploration, we have commenced uploading all assay data from ALS’ Webtrieve system directly into Geobank. The validation work has commenced and in currently ongoing.
The Company is also undertaking a geological review to determine the potential for the project to produce a zinc Mineral Resource Estimate. Zinc is clearly present throughout the deposit in the form of sphalerite with a number of significant zinc intercepts identified in the current infill drilling program – with the currently investigations now focussing on the historical drill holes. The company has commenced an infill assay program for zinc from core and pulps from historical drill holes that have not previously been sampled or identified as containing sphalerite. The program is now assessing assay of anomalous zones at a commercial laboratory.

Cleveland Tin Project
Tasmania, Australia
The 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.
A program of four exploration diamond drill holes was completed at the project in 2022, which intersected the Cleveland ore host horizon geological sequence (Halls Formation) and recorded anomalous tin, copper and zinc.
The next stage of the program is to conduct downhole geophysical surveys to explore the potential to host additional mineralisation at depth and along strike. This work has been delayed due to ongoing inclement weather restricting access.
Cleveland Workstreams
No exploration or material programs of work was carried out on the Cleveland project during the quarter.

Corporate
AGM
The AGM for Elementos was held in November with all resolutions passed successfully. Shareholders approved a special resolution to amend the company’s constitution.
Oropesa Project Debt Advisor Appointment
In January, Elementos engaged London based Debt Advisors Terrafranca to support the debt serviceability during the Oropesa Definitive Feasibility Study (DFS). In addition, Terrafranca will engage with global debt providers and assist the company proceeding into project finance.
Tin Pricing
The London Metals Exchange (LME) tin settlement price rose materially, up 22%, during the quarter to US$24,800/t following the apparent easing of global inflationary pressures and the first signs of China re-opening and a reduction in global stocks. The Shanghai Futures Exchange (SHFE) also outperformed the LME tin price which increased during the quarter by 29% to ~US$31,160/t.
After the end of the quarter the tin price has continued to rise throughout January, with the LME closing at US$31,450/t on 26 January, and the SHFE closing at ~US$35,294/t on 20 January (before Chinese New Year Holiday on SHFE).
The LME tin price at the end of the reporting period was US$20,750/t, down from US$27,050/t (www.LME.com). The Chinese tin prices held above US$25k/t at the end of the same period.

Company Profile
Elementos Limited’s strategy is to deliver sustainable shareholder value through the development of its portfolio of tin assets including Oropesa in Andalucia, Spain and Cleveland in Tasmania, Australia.
The company is focussed on maturing the Oropesa Tin Project through a Definitive Feasibility Study (DFS) after confirming it is one of the best undeveloped tin Mineral Resources in the world.
At Oropesa, a Mineral Resource Update resulted in a 50% increase to the total Mineral Resource (18.86Mt ), a 78% increase in the Measured and Indicated Mineral Resource Estimate to (16.21Mt) resulting in 88% of the Resources within the Measured and Indicated Categories. In addition, the Project completed a series of feasibility development programs to further develop key engineering information to feed into a Definitive Feasibility Study, which was announced as the development pathway for the project in July 2021.
In addition, Elementos continues to develop the Cleveland tin-copper and tungsten in Tasmania, with the immediate focus on determining the potential to increase the mineralisation of the project through exploration on prospective targets adjacent and below the existing resource.
