YVETTE GOLD-SILVER PROSPECT EXPLORATION UPDATE

Highlights

  • Infill trenching at Yvette Norte extends high-grade gold structure along strike

  • New parallel, high-grade gold-silver structure under talus cover within the Yvette Norte trend expands the gold rich system laterally

  • Deep penetration geophysics is required to test both the vertical and horizontal extents of the system

Elementos Limited (ASX: ELT) (“Elementos” or the “Company”) is pleased to provide the results of the recent infill sampling at the Yvette prospect, Santo Domingo.

Trenching has been carried out to expose and sample mineralisation under shallow talus cover along the poorly-exposed Yvette Norte gold–silver structure. The aim was to increase the sample density over specific areas where there is no surface outcrop, test the potential widths of the system, identify possible parallel structures and sample at different topographic levels.

Infill sampling over a 700 metre-long segment has returned additional high-grade gold and silver results, with credits of lead, zinc and copper. Infill representative (fixed length, traverse and continuous channel) rock chip sample highlights include:

  • 1.0 metres at 20.8 g/t gold and 82 g/t silver;

  • 0.5 metres at 46.2 g/t gold and 541 g/t silver;

  • 0.4 metres at 32.2 g/t gold and 20 g/t silver;

  • 0.6 metres at 9.2 g/t gold and 18 g/t silver; and

  • 0.6 metres at 9.07 g/t gold and 15 g/t silver;

The sampling has confirmed the continuity of the high gold-silver grades over the main north-south, sub-vertical trend. A number of smaller parallel structures have also been identified, typically separated between 3 and 20 metres from the main structure. However, at surface level the widths of the structures are still quite narrow, even over approximately 150 metres of vertical displacement.

A vertical gradation from low-grade gold-silver at shallow levels to high-grade goldsilver at the deeper levels has been observed. Additionally, low-grade gold-silver anomalies were detected in a number of host rock samples adjacent to the main system and within the main shear zone. Anomalous zinc is dispersed throughout the main shear zone, well correlated with the magnetic low delineated through the ground magnetic survey, highlighting the potential of a larger system at depth.

The first phase of geophysics delineated the structure down to 100 metres, where oxidation is stronger. Further, deeper penetration geophysics will be required to test the extent of the system.

Yvette Sur (Polymetallic zone)

Limited channel sampling, conducted over the Yvette polymetallic prospect in the transition zone to Yvette Norte, did not return significant gold-silver values since the sampling is thought to correspond to shallow levels in the system.

On-going activities

The Company has completed a thorough surface mapping and sampling program, combined with Pole-Dipole IP and ground-magnetometry geophysical surveys. The strike length of the Yvette prospect is now interpreted to be 3.2 kilometres long, including the 1.5 kilometres long Yvette Norte system. Deep penetration geophysics is now required to test the vertical extent of the system, and the potential width of the structures at depth.

The Company has now established a strong spatial relationship between the Yvette structural system and the Divisoria porphyry environment at a surface level, increasing the potential size of the combined mineralised systems. The next steps at Yvette will be decided once the geophysics at the Divisoria porphyry prospect are incorporated. The survey has been completed and the results are pending.

SAMPLE QUALITY CONTROL AND ASSURANCE

Gold assay results presented above are finals and have been calculated using a 0.5 g/t gold cut-off grade. Gold intervals are weighted averages of sample length multiplied by gold grade.

Samples were prepared at the Acme Analytical Laboratories (“AcmeLabs”) preparation facility in Mendoza, Argentina and assayed by fire assay (50 gram charge) at the AcmeLabs laboratory in Chile and for ICP-MS 32 elements (15 grams charge) at the AcmeLabs laboratory in Vancouver, all ISO-9001:2000 certified laboratories. Samples returning greater than 10 g/t gold and/or greater than 100 g/t silver are assayed using gravimetric analyses. Samples returning greater than 1 % Pb and / or greater than 1 % Zn are assayed using aqua regia digestion ore grade / AAS.

COMPETENT PERSON STATEMENT

The information in this report that relates to Exploration Results, Mineral Resources or Ore Reserves is based on information compiled by Mr Gustavo Delendatti, a member of the Australian Institute of Geoscientists. Mr Delendatti is a full-time employee of Elementos Ltd and has sufficient experience which is relevant to the style of mineralisation and type of deposit under consideration and to the activity which it is undertaking to qualify as a Competent Person as defined in the 2004 Edition of the ‘Australasian Code for Reporting of Exploration Results, Mineral Resources and Ore Reserves.’ Mr Delendatti consents to the inclusion in the report of the matters based on his information in the form and context in which it appears.
