Why Tin

Global demand for tin continues to be strong after 5000 years of use. First extracted and used during the Bronze Age ~3000BC Current global refined tin market is 350,000tpa with annual growth of 1.3%. Total refined tin revenue for 2018 to be ~US$7.5bn

==> picture [142 x 95] intentionally omitted <==

==> picture [111 x 57] intentionally omitted <==

Global demand for tin predicted to increase via new applications to electric vehicles, energy storage systems, chemicals and electronics Demand for refined tin outstripping supply with a 40,000tpa production shortfall forecast by 2020

==> picture [83 x 73] intentionally omitted <==

New projects need to be developed to meet the forecast production shortfall

Elementos is a tin focused exploration and development company that is currently advancing the 100% owned Cleveland project in Tasmania and actively assessing additional opportunities for future development

Cleveland Tin Project

  • Located 80km southwest of Burnie in the mineral rich northwest region of Tasmania, Australia

  • Cleveland consists of stratiform semi-massive sulphide replacement ore lenses within a carbonaceous sedimentary package, and a

  • Quartz porphyry hosted tungsten bearing quartzstockwork, greisen orebody below 350m

  • Principle sulphide mineral is pyrrhotite (magnetic) with cassiterite and minor stannite and chalcopyrite

  • Excellent power, water and transport infrastructure in place

  • Operated as an underground mine from 1908 – 1917 and more recently by Aberfoyle Resources from 1968 – 1986

==> picture [267 x 329] intentionally omitted <==

  • Mine closed in 1986 due to tin price collapse with hard rock JORC resources of 7.44mt @ 0.65% Sn & 0.25% Cu and 3.97mt @ 0.28% WO3 remaining

Cleveland Development Programme

==> picture [315 x 418] intentionally omitted <==

----- Start of picture text -----

C2115 – Henry’s Lode
----- End of picture text -----

The project is planned to be developed in two stages;

  • Stage 1 – a combined open cut mine and tailings retreatment operation to produce tin and copper in concentrates.

  • Stage 2 – rehabilitate the underground mine to produce tin, copper and tungsten in concentrates

Open cut and underground scoping studies completed

Tailings re-treatment prefeasibility study completed.

Current programme of work implemented to improve the sustainability of the project and lower investment risk.

Definitive feasibility study scheduled for completion in late 2018.

==> picture [720 x 67] intentionally omitted <==

Cleveland Development Programme

Current activities include;

  • The completion of a diamond drilling programme in March 2018 to define the limits of the open cut resource

  • Revision of the current open cut mine design

  • Optimising metallurgical processing methods that will improve yield and project economics. Initial work has resulted in a 50% improvement in the yield of tin from the tailings resource to a low grade concentrate and conversion to a high value tin metal product, utilising existing technology.

  • Environmental compliance studies on the proposed Stage 1 development

  • Lodgement of a revised Mine Lease application and Development Plan and Environmental Management Plan

Potential New Tin Mining Project Pipeline

A combination of modern processing technology, a global shortfall in supply, higher tin prices and enhanced project economics will result in the development of a number of the new projects shown in the table below. Elementos has the potential to be one of the first to reach production.
