ENCOURAGING FIRST ASSAY RESULTS FROM DIAMOND DRILLING AT CLEVELAND

Elementos Limited (ASX: ELT) (“Elementos” or the “Company”) is pleased to announce the results of the first five holes drilled at the Cleveland project in northwest Tasmania.

Two significant intersections from the programme, include:

  • Drill hole C2102 (Henry’s Lode) - 3.9 metres @ 0.49% Sn* and 0.15% Cu from 32.1 – 36.0 metres; and

  • Drill hole C2104 (Khaki Lode) - 3.9m @ 0.78% Sn and 0.25% Cu from 67.1 to 71.0m.

The Company is very encouraged by the results of holes C2102 and C2104 which have the potential to extend the open–cut mineral resource at two of the main tin-copper lode systems defined at Cleveland. The intersections and transition zones have a strong presence of disseminated to semi-massive sulphide mineralisation including pyrrhotite, pyrite, marmatite and chalcopyrite (primary copper mineralisation).

The objectives of the diamond drilling programme, which commenced in August is two-fold:

  • Assess the potential for infill and along strike mineralisation to increase the existing opencut mineral resources at Cleveland of 800,000t @ 0.81% Sn and 0.27% Cu; and

  • Test the potential for new mineralisation and resources at the three new anomalies identified through the recently completed ground magnetic survey.

The recent exploration activities which include mapping, sampling, geophysics and drilling are the first modern exploration activities undertaken at Cleveland since 1986. The Company is now establishing a more comprehensive understanding of the geology and mineralisation at Cleveland which it believes will assist with better target generation for the on-going drilling programme.

Elementos Chief Executive Officer, Chris Creagh, commented, “The initial drill results received are an encouraging start to the programme, highlighting the potential for an incremental increase in the existing open-cut resources at Cleveland. A total of 16 drill holes are planned targeting infill and extension mineralisation around the existing open-cut resources. An additional 12 drill holes have been planned to test the magnetic anomalies that were detected earlier this year, with drill site access and pad preparations underway”.

Drilling Programme Overview

The drilling programme is being carried out by Low Impact Diamond Drilling Specialists (LIDDS), a company based in Burnie, Tasmania. LIDDS have been able to supply a very manoeuvrable Onram 1000 track mounted drilling rig with a very small footprint which allows the company to minimise site preparation works and drill at angles between +90 degrees and -90 degrees. The drill core was analysed at ALS laboratories in Burnie, Tasmania.

The first two drill holes (C2100 & C2101) were targeting potential near surface mineralisation on the Henry’s Lode and did not intersect any significant mineralisation.

Drill hole C2102 intersected two zones of tin-copper mineralisation. The first zone, interpreted to be the Henry’s Lode, was intersected from 32.1 – 36.0m containing approximately 15% sulphides as disseminated to and semi-massive aggregates of visually determined pyrrhotite, pyrite, marmatite and chalcopyrite. This first mineralised zone was assayed to contain 3.9m @ 0.49% Sn* and 0.15% Cu from 32.1m.

The second zone of mineralisation in C2012, interpreted to be the Khaki Lode, was intersected from 51.0 - 55.5m and contained approximately 7% sulphides that were visually determined to consist of pyrite, marmatite, pyrrhotite, chalcopyrite and arsenopyrite. This zone of mineralisation returned lower values with 4.5m @ 0.05% Sn and 0.05% Cu from 51m.

Drill hole C2103 had to be terminated without encountering any mineralisation after intersecting shallow historical underground workings from the period of mining that occurred between 1908 and 1917. An unknown number of these historical workings are not recorded in the database. The current open cut resource was calculated based on drilling carried out by Aberfoyle Resources from the early 1960’s to 1986, when the mine was last operated. Any pre-existing voids would have been recorded in the drill hole database and would have been taken into account when calculating the existing resource.

Drill hole C2104 intersected what is interpreted to be the Khaki Lode from 67.1 to 71.0m. Visual estimates are of approximately 25% disseminated and semi massive sulphide aggregates comprising pyrrhotite, pyrite and chalcopyrite. Assays from this zone of mineralisation reported 3.9m @ 0.78% Sn and 0.25% Cu from 67.1m.

Environmen- Assumptions made regarding possible waste and process residue
tal factors or disposal options. It is always necessary as part of the process of
assumptions determining reasonable prospects for eventual economic extraction to
consider the potential environmental impacts of the mining and
processing operation. While at this stage the determination of
potential environmental impacts, particularly for a greenfields project,
may not always be well advanced, the status of early consideration of
these potential environmental impacts should be reported. Where
these aspects have not been considered this should be reported with

remaining areas of uncertainty at the current study stage.
It is recognised that this may not be possible or appropriate in all
