A Clear Strate gy

Elementos’ vision is to create shareholder value through the exploration and discovery of economic mineral deposits, and realise this value through development

1. Targeting world class mineral provinces

  • Andes mountains and Mt Isa Inlier

2. Focused on commodities with sound long term fundamentals

  • C d ld opper an go

3. Leveraging geological expertise and experience

  • Discovering and developing low-sulphidation epithermal deposits

  • Monetising porphyry deposits through partnerships with majors

4. Transacting value-adding merger and acquisition opportunities

  • Acquiring assets early in the discovery to development life cycle

  • Significant geological potential and attractively priced
