REASONS TO INVEST IN ELEMENTOS
-
Elementos’ share price is significantly undervalued
-
Global tin market is robust with ongoing strong demand
-
Global supply shortfall of 40,000 – 50,000tpa predicted by 2020. (ITRI May 2017)
-
Tin price is predicted to rise to US$30,000/t by 2020 due to shortage in supply (ITRI May 2017)
-
Elementos holds 100% of the Cleveland tin project in Tasmania
-
Elementos has an exploration and development strategy that is targeting initial production in 2019 of 2,000tpa of tin in concentrates and 500tpa of copper in concentrates from a combined open pit/tailings retreatment project
-
Additional mine life forecast from the re-furbishment and development of significant tin/copper/tungsten underground resources
-
Scoping study level financial modelling indicates a strong NPV, low capex and rapid capital payback for the initial open pit/tailings re-treatment project
-
Management has significant project development experience
-
Exploration programme designed to expand the open pit resource underway with drill targets defined.
-
Potential to further expand the open pit resource along strike with additional exploration.

CAUTIONARY STATEMENTS
Forward-looking statements
This document may contain certain forward-looking statements. Such statements are only predictions, based on certain assumptions and involve known and unknown risks, uncertainties and other factors, many of which are beyond the company’s control. Actual events or results may differ materially from the events or results expected or implied in any forward-looking statement. The inclusion of such statements should not be regarded as a representation, warranty or prediction with respect to the accuracy of the underlying assumptions or that any forward-looking statements will be or are likely to be fulfilled. Elementos undertakes no obligation to update any forward-looking statement to reflect events or circumstances after the date of this document (subject to securities exchange disclosure requirements). The information in this document does not take into account the objectives, financial situation or particular needs of any person or organisation. Nothing contained in this document constitutes investment, legal, tax or other advice.
Mineral Resource
Elementos confirms that Mineral Resource and Reserve estimates used in this document were estimated, reported and reviewed in accordance with the guidelines of the Australian Code for the Reporting of Exploration Results, Mineral Resources and Ore Reserves (The JORC Code) 2012 edition. Elementos confirms that it is not aware of any new information or data that materially affects the Mineral Resource or Reserve information included in the following announcements:
-
“Cleveland Open Pit - High-Grade Mineral Resource Defined” released on 3 March 2015;
-
“Cleveland Tailings Ore Reserve” released on the 3 August 2015;
-
“Cleveland Open Pit study adds $21m to cash flow” released on 20 August 2015;
-
“Underground study doubles life of Tasmanian mine and adds $90 in pre-tax cash” released on 1[st] September 2015
The Company also confirms that all material assumptions and technical parameters underpinning the estimates in the Cleveland Mineral Resources and Reserves continue to apply and have not materially changed. Elementos also confirms the form and context in which the Competent Person’s findings are presented have not been materially modified from the date of announcement.
Scoping Study Results
The scoping studies referred to in this announcement are based on low-level technical and economic assessments, which are insufficient to support the estimation of Ore Reserves, or to provide assurance of an economic development case at this stage, or to provide certainty that the conclusions of the scoping studies will be realised. Elementos advises that the scoping study results are partly drawn from Inferred Resources. There is a low level of geological confidence associated with these estimates and there is no certainty that further exploration work will result in the conversion of the estimate to an Indicated Mineral Resources or that the production target itself will be realised. The term “mining inventory” is used to describe the Indicated and Inferred Mineral Resource within the mine design. Whereas an Ore Reserve, as defined by the JORC code (2012 Edition), must be based on a study at pre-feasibility study level or better and must not include Inferred Mineral Resources or Exploration Targets. As such, no Ore Reserve can be stated on the basis of the scoping studies.
