Chairman's letter
3 July 2017
Dear Shareholders.
It is my pleasure to introduce this Prospectus and invite you to participate in the future growth of the Company through this offer of securities.
The Directors view this capital raising as the trigger for Elementos to begin building a strong, robust tin production company. With the placement we have received from Jervois Ltd and other sophisticated investors, and the Rights Issue, raising up to \$2m we have an opportunity to reach our goal of becoming an Australian tin producer over the near term.
As you may be aware, I am a substantial shareholder of the Company. I intend to take up my entitlement to New Shares and utilise the debt conversion facility to reduce my loan to the Company. I will also, subject to the requirements of the Corporations Act, exercise all of my New Options from the Rights Issue so as to further reduce and eliminate the full amount of my loan to the Company, leaving the Company debt free. If the Rights Issue Offer is fully subscribed, this will enable the exercise of all of my New Options received under the Rights Issue Offer.
This Prospectus includes details of the Offers and the Company, together with a statement of the risks associated with investing in the Company. I recommend that you study the document carefully and seek independent professional advice before investing in the Company.
On behalf of the Directors, I thank you for your continued support and I invite you to consider this investment opportunity.
Yours sincerely.
Andrew Greig Chairman Elementos Limited

$1.2$ Minimum subscription
There is no minimum subscription to the Offers.
$1.3$ Purpose of the Offers
The Directors intend to apply the proceeds from the Offers, the Placement and existing cash reserves of the Company for the purposes of:
- undertaking an exploration diamond drilling programme (minimum of 3,500m) targeting $(a)$ an increase in the Cleveland open cut Mineral Resource;
- undertaking metallurgical test work, geotechnical studies, environmental compliance $(b)$ studies and geophysics on the proposed Cleveland Open Cut development;
- $(c)$ paying the costs of the Offers: and
- $(d)$ providing working capital.
The Directors anticipate that the Company will have gross proceeds of up to approximately \$1,851,720 (assuming the Rights Issue is fully subscribed) at the completion of the Rights issue after:
- existing cash reserves of approximately \$700,000 (following the Placement announced immediately prior this Rights Issue); and
- cash proceeds from the Rights Issue of \$1,151,720 (being the full take up of the $\bullet$ Rights Issue of \$1,423,947 less \$272,227 being the Chairman Andrew Greig's Entitlement being used to reduce his loan to the Company pursuant to the debt conversion facility).
The gross proceeds of \$1,851,720 (noted above) are proposed to be allocated in the following manner:
| Proposed use of funds | |
|---|---|
| Exploration diamond drilling programme (minimum of 3,500m) targeting an increase in the Cleveland Open Cut Resource |
\$940,200 |

| GST | 11,200 |
| Estimated total (including GST) | 123,200 |
In the event that circumstances change or other better opportunities arise the Directors reserve the right to vary the proposed uses to maximise the benefit to Shareholders.
If the Offers are not fully subscribed, the Directors will scale back the proposed use of funds for the drilling program, test work/studies and working capital in accordance with the exploration objectives of the Company and to maximise the benefits to the Company and Shareholders. The minimum gross proceeds that the Company would have as a result of the Placement and if only Jervois Mining Limited and other Placement Recipients take up their Entitlements would be \$850,000 (together with a reduction of the debts of the Company by \$272,227 as a result of the take up of Entitlements by Mr Greig).
$1.4$ Investment highlights
Money raised from the Rights Issue and Placement is to be used for the purposes of improving the profitability and sustainability of a potential mining and processing operation at Cleveland by progressing the company's open cut development strategy by:
- completing a diamond drilling program targeting an increase in the Cleveland Open Cut Resource; and
- undertaking metallurgical testing, geotechnical studies and environmental compliance $\bullet$ studies.
The Company recently completed a ground magnetic survey which identified a number of new exploration targets along strike and within the existing open-cut Mineral Resource at the Cleveland mine. Refer to the announcement made by the Company to the ASX on 28 February 2017 for further details.
The Company has previously received approval from Mineral Resources Tasmania ("MRT") to proceed with the drilling program at Cleveland. The Company plans to commence drilling in August 2017. Preparation of the drilling pads and tendering of contracts for the drilling program have commenced. Refer to the announcement made by the Company to the ASX on 22 March 2017 for further details.
The Company is also looking to reduce its present debts.
$1.5$ Risk factors
Investing in the Company involves risk. There are factors, both specific to the Company and of a general nature, which may affect the future operating and financial performance of the Company. Some of these factors can be mitigated by appropriate commercial action. However, many are outside the control of the Company, dependent on the policies adopted and approaches taken by regulatory authorities, or cannot otherwise be mitigated. If you are unsure about subscribing for New Shares, you should first seek advice from your stockbroker, accountant, financial or other professional adviser.
The following sets out a summary of some of the key risks relevant to the Company and its operations:
| Risk | Details |
|---|---|
| Exploration Risk | By its nature, the business of exploration is a highly speculative endeavour and involves significant risks. The Company's performance depends on the successful exploration and/or acquisition of Resources or Reserves, competent operational management and efficient financial management. The Company undertakes sampling, geophysics and drilling programs, and the outcomes of these programs will dictate the future performance of the Company. Further, the nature of exploration can sometimes result in industrial accidents and other incidents beyond the control of the Company. |
| Additional Requirements for Capital |
Depending on the outcome of the Company's exploration programs, in particular the geophysics and drilling proposed to be undertaken at the Cleveland project in Tasmania, the Company will require further financing in addition to amounts raised under this Prospectus. Any additional equity financing will dilute shareholdings and debt financing, if available, may involve restrictions on financing and operating activities. If the Company is unable to obtain additional financing as needed, it may be required to reduce the scope of its operations and scale back its exploration programs. In addition, the Company's ability to continue as a going concern may be diminished. There is no guarantee that the Company will be able to secure any additional funding or be able to secure funding on terms favourable to the Company and such circumstances will adversely affect the Company. |
| Feasibility and Development Risks |
Given the stage of the Company's projects, there will be a complex, multidisciplinary process to be undertaken to complete a feasibility study to support any development proposal. There is a risk that the feasibility study and associated technical works will not achieve the results expected. There is also a risk that even if a positive feasibility study is produced, the project may not be successfully developed for commercial or financial reasons. |
| Exploration Targets |
The geological characteristics of the Company's exploration targets appear to have similar characteristics to locations where established exploration and mining operations are being successfully conducted. Similarity of geological characteristics is not determinative of any similarity in actual mineral Resources. Whilst those characteristics may encourage explorers like the Company to commit expenditure to drilling programs, it must be appreciated that a substantial and real risk still exists that no viable Resource will be identified. As such, it is important that geological similarities be appreciated in the context that they only provide an indication rather than any determinative evidence of any viable outcome. |
| Risk | Details |
|---|---|
| Changes in Laws and Regulations |
Changes in Australian laws and regulations will have a significant effect on the Company's exploration and development operations, especially changes to environmental, mining, grant or renewal of concessions and taxation. |
| Future Government Actions |
Future government actions concerning the economy or the operation and regulation of the mining industry could have a significant effect on the Company. No assurances can be given that the Company will not be adversely affected by any future developments. |
| Contractors | The Company is dependent on contractors and suppliers to supply vital services to its operations. The Company is therefore exposed to the possibility of adverse developments in the business environments of its contractors and suppliers. Any disruption to services or supply may have an adverse effect on the financial performance of the Company. |
| Reliance on Key Personnel |
In formulating its exploration programs, the Company relies to a significant extent upon the experience and expertise of the Directors and management. |
| Although information concerning the Company's tenements has been chronicled, the loss of one or more of these key personnel may adversely affect the Company's prospects of pursuing its exploration programs within the timeframes and within the cost structure currently envisaged. |
|
| Although the key personnel have a considerable amount of experience and have previously been successful in their pursuits of important prospecting discoveries, there is no guarantee or assurance that they will be successful in their objectives pursuant to this Company. |
|
| Employees | The ability of the Company to achieve its objectives depends on being able to retain certain key employees, skilled operators and tradespeople. Whilst the Company has entered into employment contracts with key employees, the retention of their services cannot be guaranteed. The loss of key employees or skilled operators and tradespeople could significantly affect the performance of the Company's operations. |
| Tenements | A failure to adhere to the statutory expenditure requirements in relation the Company's current or future mineral tenements will, unless an exemption is granted, make one or more of the tenements subject to possible forfeiture and the loss by the Company of the associated rights to the tenements. |
| Native Title, Aboriginal Heritage and Heritage |
The Native Title Act 1993 (Cth) recognises certain rights of indigenous Australians over land where those rights have not been extinguished. These rights, where they exist, may impact on the ability of the Company to carry out exploration and in future, mining activities, or obtain exploration or mining licences in Australia. In applying for licences over crown land, the Company must observe the provisions of Native Title legislation. |
| Tenure and Access |
The Company's project is subject to numerous specific legislative conditions. The renewal of the term of a granted tenement in Australia is subject to discretion of the relevant Minister. Renewal conditions may include increased expenditure and work commitments or compulsory relinquishment of areas of the tenements comprising the Company's projects. The imposition of new conditions or the inability to meet those conditions may adversely affect the operations, financial |
Further details regarding risks which may affect the Company in the future are set out in section 6.
The New Shares offered under this Prospectus carry no guarantee of profitability, dividends, return of capital or the price at which they may trade on ASX. The past performance of the Company should not necessarily be considered a guide to their future performance.

Eligible Shareholders may, in addition to their Entitlements, apply for New Shares, including the corresponding number of New Options, over and above their Entitlement at the Offer Price (Additional Securities) regardless of the size of their present holding.

If a lesser number is allocated to them, excess Application Money will be refunded without interest. The Company reserves the right to scale back any applications for Additional Securities in their absolute discretion.

$111$ Shortfall and dilution of Shareholder's interests
The Offer is not underwritten but Eligible Shareholders can apply for Additional Securities.
If required, the Company intends to actively work during, and after, the Rights Issue Offer in order to secure commitments to place, and subsequently to place, any Shortfall of New Shares not subscribed for by Eligible Shareholders.
Shareholders should be aware that to the extent that they do not accept their Entitlements in full, a Shortfall will arise and all or part of any Shortfall may be placed by the Company, to other parties in which case their interest in the Company may be significantly diluted (see section 5.4 for further details). Further the Offer is not being extended to Shareholders with registered addresses outside of Australia and New Zealand and the holdings of those Shareholders in the Company will be diluted by the Offer. Given the terms of the Offer, the interests of a Shareholder in the Company may be diluted by up to 25% in the event that they are not eligible to participate or elect not to accept their Entitlement in full if the Rights Issue Offer is fully subscribed or alternatively, any Shortfall is fully placed.
Acceptance of Entitlements or the placement of any Shortfall may also result in existing Shareholders or new investors significantly increasing their interest in the Company or obtaining a substantial interest in the Company. However, the Shortfall will only be placed to the extent that such placement is in compliance with the takeover provisions of the Corporations Act, which restrict a person and their associates from having a relevant interest in the Company of not more than 19.99%, subject to a number of exemptions.

$2.4$ Allotment and allocation policy
The Company will proceed to allocate New Shares and New Options as soon as possible after the respective Closing Dates and receiving ASX permission for official quotation of the New Shares.
In the case that there is less than full subscription by Shareholders of their Entitlements under this Prospectus, the Directors reserve the right, as contemplated within the ASX Listing Rules, to issue any Shortfall at their discretion (see section 5.4). Any Shortfall will be issued within three months after the Closing Date at an issue price being not less than the Offer Price.
Successful Applicants will be notified in writing of the number of New Shares and New Options allocated to them as soon as possible following the allocation being made.
It is the responsibility of Applicants to confirm the number of New Shares and New Options allocated to them prior to trading in New Shares or and New Options. Applicants who sell New Shares or and New Options before they receive notice of the number of New Shares and New Options allocated to them do so at their own risk. No New Shares or New Options will be allotted or issued on the basis of this Prospectus later than 13 months after the date of issue of this Prospectus.
2.5 ASX listing
On the same date as announcing the Offers, the Company applied to the ASX for the New Shares to be issued pursuant to this Prospectus to be listed for official quotation by the ASX. If granted, quotation of the New Shares will commence as soon as practicable after allotment of the New Shares to Applicants. It is the responsibility of the Applicants to determine their allocation of New Shares prior to trading.
Should the New Shares not be granted official quotation on the ASX within three months after the date of this Prospectus, none of the New Shares offered under this Prospectus will be issued and all Acceptance Money will be refunded without interest to Applicants within the time prescribed by the Corporations Act.
The fact that the ASX may grant Official Quotation of the New Shares is not to be taken in any way as an indication of the merits of the Company or the New Shares or New Options now offered.
The New Options are unlisted Options and no application will be made to have the New Options granted official quotation on the ASX. The Company will apply for Shares issued on exercise of the New Options to be granted official quotation on the ASX.
$2.6$ CHESS
The Company will apply to ASX Settlement for the New Shares and New Options to participate in the Securities Clearing House Electronic Subregister System known as CHESS.
The Company will not issue certificates to Shareholders with respect to the New Shares and New Options. After allotment of the New Shares and New Options, those who are issuer sponsored holders will receive an issuer sponsored statement and those who are CHESS holders will receive an allotment advice.
The CHESS statements, which are similar in style to bank account statements, will set out the number of New Shares and New Options allotted to each successful applicant pursuant to this Prospectus. The statement will also advise holders of their holder identification number. Further statements will be provided to holders which reflect any changes in their holding in the Company during a particular month.
$2.7$ No rights trading
Entitlements to New Shares pursuant to the Rights Issue Offer are non-renounceable and accordingly will not be traded on the ASX.
$2.8$ Minimum subscription
There is no minimum subscription to the Offers.
2.9 Underwriting
The Offers are not underwritten.
$2.10$ Option Holders
Option Holders will not be entitled to participate in the Rights Issue Offer or the Additional Offer unless they:
- have become entitled to exercise their Existing Options under the terms of their issue $(a)$ and do so prior to the Record Date: and
- participate in the Rights Issue Offer or Additional Offer as a result of being an Eligible $(b)$ Shareholder at 7.00pm (Brisbane time) on the Record Date.
If all holders of Existing Options elect to exercise their Options prior to the Record Date, and are eligible to participate in the Offer, a further 5,075,000 (approximately) New Shares and 5,075,000 (approximately) New Options may be issued under this Prospectus. Details of the Existing Options are set out in section 5.3. However, having regard to the exercise price of the Existing Options and the Offer Price, the Directors believe that it is unlikely that any Existing Options will be exercised prior to the Record Date.

4. Company Information
$4.1$ Introduction
The Company's primary focus is the development of the Cleveland tin, copper and tungsten project in Tasmania towards development. The Company's objective is to move quickly towards production and cash flow, through a low-capital, staged development strategy, with the lowest possible dilution of shareholders.
The Company's 100% owned Cleveland tin project is located in Northwestern Tasmania, a region that hosts some of the world's highest grade and most productive tin mines, including Renison Bell, and the historic mines of Mount Bischoff and Cleveland. The region also hosts operating iron ore, lead/zinc, gold and copper mines.
The Cleveland mine is located at Luina about 80 km from Burnie. Access to the mine is by way of the sealed all weather road, which runs from Burnie through Waratah and Luina to Savage River.
Northwest Tasmania has well developed infrastructure and a strong mining culture. Power, water and communications are available onsite, with the site linked to Burnie Port by sealed roads. The Burnie region has a large, available, and experienced workforce.
The Cleveland project was historically mined between 1968 and 1986. The mine closed in 1986 due to the collapse of the tin price as was determined in March 2014 to have a Tin-Copper Mineral Resource of 7.44Mt at 0.65% tin remaining (refer table below).
Since the acquisition of the Cleveland project, the Company has completed technical studies to confirm the tailings, open cut and underground resources estimates. In addition, a Prefeasibility and Scoping Studies have been completed and summarised as follows:
- Tailings Reprocessing A Pre-feasibility Study ("PFS") for the reprocessing of the Tailings Mineral Resource was completed in 2015 (ASX announcement 3rd August 2015). The PFS resulted in an estimated Ore Reserve of 3.7 million tonnes @ 0.29% tin (0% cut-off grade). The PFS demonstrated that the reprocessing of tailings is both technically and financially viable.
- Open Pit Mining Scoping Study In 2015, Company received the results of an Open Pit Scoping Study (ASX announcement 20th August 2015), prepared by AMC Consultants Pty Ltd (AMC). The study was based on the previously announced Mineral Resource of 0.8Mt at 0.81% Tin and 0.27% Copper. The study identified five viable open pits and concluded the open-pit project to be financially robust and technically low-risk; with over 98% of the ore being in the Indicated Mineral Resource category.
- Underground Mining Scoping Study- In 2015, AMC completed an Underground Scoping Study (ASX announcement 1st September 2015) which examined the technical and economic viability of mining and processing the previously developed tin-copper deposit and a separate but large tungsten porphyry deposit. The viability of the underground operation was assessed as an extension to the proposed tailings and open-pit operations with shared services, plant and infrastructure. The study provided a high-level mine design, mining inventory, production schedule, process plant flowsheet, and cost estimate for the potential underground operation. Based on the previously announced Mineral Resource, the study identified a potential mining inventory of 1.9Mt of tin copper ore grading 0.61% Tin and 0.22% Copper, and 1.7Mt of tungsten ore grading 0.31% WO3. The findings demonstrated that known underground resources could extend the Cleveland mine life by up to eight years and significantly add to the project's cash flows.
Development Strategy
The Company recently completed a detailed strategic review of Cleveland development strategy, drawing on the findings and technical recommendations of the Cleveland Pre-Feasibility Study and Open-cut Scoping Studies. The new funding from the Offer will enable the Company to implement a new development strategy for the Cleveland tin project which it believes significantly enhances the value of the project.
The Company has made considerable progress in advancing Cleveland towards development with the completion of a pre-feasibility study, scoping studies, environmental and mining licence applications. Whilst positive economics have been demonstrated through the staged development strategy, the review process has highlighted the market's concern about aspects of the previous strategy, including:
- The perceived risks of developing an initial standalone low-grade tailings project; $\bullet$
- The low metallurgical recoveries associated with the tailings reprocessing;
- Short mine-life from the existing open-cut JORC mineral resources; and $\bullet$
- The high capital expenditure required to establish underground operations.
In 2015, the Company released a scoping study and open-cut Mineral Resource estimate (see table below) on developing the open-cut mineral resources at Cleveland. The study demonstrated the positive aspects of developing open-cut resources at Cleveland, including:
- Attractive cash cost forecast of US\$8,303 per tonne (compares to current spot LME tin prices of over US\$19,000/tonne):
- Low capital costs for the implementation of a conventional flow sheet for tin processing - crush, grind, gravity and flotation; and
- Low strip ratio's and high average utilisation of the mineral resource.
Refer to the announcements made by the Company to the ASX on 14 September 2016 and 20 August 2015 for further details.
The current strategy aims to expand the size of the open-pit mineral resource through a diamond drilling program targeting infill, strike and depth extensions to the current 800,000 tonnes at 0.81% Tin and 0.27% Copper open-pit Indicated Mineral Resource estimate (ASX announcement 3 March 2015). A ground magnetics geophysical program implemented in early 2017 assisted with defining potential extensions of the mineralisation between the existing open-cut mineral resources and new targets to the north and east of the existing mineralisation.
On 22 March 2017 the Company announced the approval by Mineral Resources Tasmania (MRT) of an exploration works program within EL7/2005, the Cleveland Project. The approved exploration program is for the completion of a 16 hole diamond drilling program to test for infill, depth and along strike extensions to the known near surface mineralisation at Cleveland. Site works and tendering for drilling contracts has commenced.
The Company is also undertaking a number of other work programs including metallurgical, geophysical, environmental and geotechnical programs. The aim of the programs, includes:
Improving the overall metallurgical recoveries;
- Geotechnical drilling to define the rock strength characteristics critical to open cut mine design, which includes the estimates of ore dilution and ore losses, and resource to reserve conversion ratios:
- Defining the acid generating capacities of open cut waste rock; $\bullet$
- Developing waste rock management strategies; and
- Expanding the ground magnetic survey to the north and east of the current survey area to cover the previously untested prospective horizon.
On completion of the work programs described above, an updated Mineral Resource estimate and feasibility study will be completed on an expanded combined open-cut/tailings retreatment operation
The open-cut resource extension exploration program has the potential to significantly de-risk a future project development, and significantly enhance the economics of the project, including:
- $\bullet$ Drawing on a larger, open-cut tin-copper resource;
- Creating a longer mine life project with higher-grade ore from the open-cut; $\bullet$
- Early cash flows will be generated through simple, open-cut mining techniques; $\bullet$
- Lowering forecast dilution and ore losses through the design of one open-cut; $\bullet$
- Creating a lower risk profile to finance the project; and
- $\bullet$ Provide sufficient cashflow to develop the underground resources.
The Company believes the strategy addresses the perceived risks of developing an initial standalone low-grade tailings project and the high capital expenditure of an initial underground mine.
Refer to the announcement made by the Company to the ASX on 14 September 2016 for further details.

$5.2$ Impact of the exercise of New Options by Andrew Greig
As noted above, the Company's Chairman Andrew Greig will also exercise all of his New Options issued pursuant to the Rights Issue Offer, subject to compliance with the Corporations Act (see sections 7.11 and 7.12). The exercise price payable by Andrew Greig on exercise of those New Options will be set off against the existing loan which is payable by the Company to Andrew Greig. As such, the effects of this Option exercise on the financial position of the Company will be:
- $(a)$ no change in cash reserves as the exercise price for the 45,371,137 New Options (\$0.006 each, totalling \$272,227) will be offset against Andrew Greig's loan by the same amount:
- $(b)$ decrease in the balance of the loan owing by the Company to Andrew Greig, in the amount of the Option exercise price (\$272,227);
- increase the number of issued Shares by 45,371,137 to 1,231,993,415 (which $(c)$ assumes the Rights Issue is fully subscribed); and
- decrease the number of Options on issue by 45,371,137 to 312,253,319 (which $(d)$ assumes the Rights Issue is fully subscribed).
$5.3$ Capital structure
The share capital structure of Elementos immediately following the Placement and the Offers, on the basis that the Offers are fully subscribed (excluding rounding of Entitlements), will be as follows (before allowing for the exercise of New Options by Mr Andrew Greig under the operation of the Undertaking):
| Shares | ||
|---|---|---|
| Number | $\%$ | |
| Ordinary Shares on issue at the date of this Prospectus (including 100,000,000 Shares issued pursuant to the Placement) |
949,297,823 | 75% |

| Maximum number of New Options under the Rights Issue $11$ |
237,324,456 | 66.36% |
| Total: | 357,624,456 | 100% |
Notes:
- If any of the Existing Options are exercised prior to the Record Date, additional New Shares will be issued under the Offers under this Prospectus. If all Existing Options on issue as at the date of this Prospectus were exercised prior to the Record Date, the Company's issued shares would increase resulting in a further 5,075,000 New Shares and 5,075,000 New Options being issued pursuant to this Prospectus. This would increase the Company's total Shares and Options on issue after completion of the Offer to 1,211,997,279 Shares and 342,399,456 Options (before the exercise of New Options by Mr Greig).
As noted above, the Company's Chairman Andrew Greig will also exercise all of his New Options issued pursuant to the Rights Issue Offer, subject to compliance with the Corporations Act (see sections 7.11 and 7.12). In the event that Andrew Greig exercised 45,371,137 New Options, the share capital structure of Elementos immediately following the Placement and the Offers, on the basis that the Offers are fully subscribed (excluding rounding of Entitlements), will be as follows:
| Shares | ||
|---|---|---|
| Number | % | |
| Ordinary Shares on issue at the date of this Prospectus (including 100,000,000 Shares issued pursuant to the Placement) |

Notes:
If any of the Existing Options are exercised prior to the Record Date, additional New Shares will be $11$ issued under the Offers under this Prospectus. If all Existing Options on issue as at the date of this Prospectus were exercised prior to the Record Date, the Company's issued shares would increase resulting in a further 5,075,000 New Shares and 5,075,000 New Options being issued pursuant to this Prospectus. This would increase the Company's total Shares and Options on issue after completion of the Offer to 1,257,368,415 Shares and 297,028,319 Options (assuming the exercise of New Options by Mr Greig).
As at the date of this Prospectus, the Company has the following Existing Options on issue:
| No of options issued |
No of options vested |
Holder/s | Exercise price | Expiry date |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| 9,300,000 | 9,300,000 | Director and ex- management |
\$0.03 | 20 March 2018 |
| 1,000,000 | 1,000,000 | Staff | \$0.012 | 31 July 2018 |
| 10,000,000 | 10,000,000 | Management | \$0.0125 | 31 July 2018 |
The holders of the Existing Options are not entitled to participate in the Rights Issue Offer or the Additional Offer unless they are an Eligible Shareholder on the Record Date.
5.4 Potential Effect of the Offer on Control
The Rights Issue Offer is a pro-rata offer so that if all Eligible Shareholders take up their Entitlements and none of the Option Holders exercise their Existing Options and participate in the Offer, the voting power of all Eligible Shareholders will remain the same. In that event, there will be no actual or potential effect or consequences arising from the issue of New Shares pursuant to the Offers on the control of the Company. If an Eligible Shareholder does not take up their Entitlement in full it will result in their percentage holding in the Company being diluted by the Offer. Given the terms of the Rights Issue Offer, the maximum possible dilution from the issue of New Shares under the Prospectus to an Eligible Shareholder's interest in the Company would be 25%. Additionally, the Offer is not being extended to
Shareholders with registered addresses outside of Australia and New Zealand and the holdings of those Shareholders in the Company will be diluted by a maximum of 25% in the event that the Rights Issue Offer is fully subscribed.
While the final percentage interests held by Shareholders of the Company is entirely dependent on the extent to which they are Eligible Shareholders and to the extent to which the other Shareholders take up their Entitlements, the Company expects that the potential effect of the issue of New Shares under the Offer on the control of the Company will be minimal.
A substantial number of New Options may be issued pursuant to the Prospectus. While the initial issue of the New Options will not dilute the present interests of existing Shareholders, if holders of the New Options subsequently choose to exercise the New Options issued to them. this may affect the overall holding of existing Shareholders.
The substantial Shareholders are listed below in section 5.5. If these Shareholders are eligible to receive New Shares or New Options it may affect their overall percentage shareholding. The final percentage interests held by Shareholders of the Company is entirely dependent on the extent to which the Shareholders and Investors (to the extent that there is any Shortfall) participate in the Offers and subsequently exercise the New Options.
$5.5$ Details of substantial holders
The following are details of those Shareholders who hold more than 5% of the Shares prior to the date of this Prospectus:
| Substantial Holder | Present Number of Shares |
$\%$ |
|---|---|---|
| Andrew Greig | 181.484.546 | 19.1% |
| Jervois Mining Limited | 80,000,000 | 8.4% |
| Bourse Securities Pty Ltd | 67,366,667 | 7.1% |
| James Calaway (and associates) | 60.020.768 | 6.3% |
As noted below and in section 7.11, Mr Greig has given the Undertaking to the Company to take up its Entitlements under the Offer and to also immediately exercise the New Options received by it under the Offer, subject to the Corporations Act. In addition, Jervois Mining Limited has given an undertaking to take up their Entitlements under the Offers. See below and section 7.11 for further details.
Mr Andrew Greig is the largest shareholder of the Company and has given the Undertaking to the Company to take up his Entitlement under the Rights Issue Offer and to immediately following completion of the Offer exercise his allocation of 45,371,137 New Options received under the Offer, subject to the Corporations Act. Mr Greig presently has a 19.1% shareholding in the Company and as a result of the acceptance of his Entitlements he will increase his interest in the Company to a maximum of 22.3% if only Mr Greig and the Placement Recipients participate in the Rights Issue Offer (and before the exercise by Mr Greig of his New Options).
If the Rights Issue Offer is fully subscribed, Mr Greig will be able to immediately exercise all of the New Options received by him from taking up his Entitlement which will increase his voting power in the Company to 22.1%.
Under the operation of the "creep rule" under item 9 of section 611 of the Corporations Act, Mr Greig is presently entitled to increase his interest in the Company to not more than 24.4% (based upon the shareholding of Mr Greig on 3 January 2017). Therefore, if the Rights Issue
Offer is not fully subscribed, the extent to which Mr Greig will initially be able to exercise the New Options received by him under the Offer will be limited to that number which will not result in his voting power in the Company exceeding 24.4%. Mr Greig will then exercise any remaining New Options at such times as he is able to do so in compliance with the Corporations Act.
Jervois Mining Limited presently has a 8.4% shareholding in the Company and as a result of the acceptance of its Entitlements it will increase its interest in the Company to a maximum of 9.8% if only Mr Greig and the Placement Recipients (which includes Jervois Mining Limited) participate in the Rights Issue Offer (and before the exercise by Mr Greig of his New Options).

6. Risk factors
$6.1$ Introduction
There are risks which may impact on the operating and financial performance of the Group and, therefore, on the value of the New Shares and New Options offered under this Prospectus. Some of these risks can be mitigated by the Group's systems and internal controls, but many are outside of the control of the Group and the Board. There can be no guarantee that the Company will achieve its stated objectives or that any forward-looking statements will eventuate. An investment in a business with limited operating history, such as Elementos, is considered speculative and an investor could lose most or all of any investment. There are also general risks associated with any investment in shares.
More specifically, the risks are that:
- the price at which the Applicant is able to sell the New Shares or the New Options is $(a)$ less than the price paid due to changes in market circumstances;
- the Applicant is unable to sell the New Shares or the New Options; $(b)$
- $(c)$ the Company is placed in receivership or liquidation making it reasonably foreseeable that Shareholders could receive none, or only some of their initial investment; and
- $(d)$ the Company fails to generate sufficient profit in order to pay dividends.
In the event of insolvency, the holders of fully paid ordinary shares would not normally be liable to pay money to any person. An exception could occur where a distribution, such as a dividend, has been made to Shareholders in circumstances where the Company was unable at that time to meet the solvency test set out in the Corporations Act. In that case, a liquidator may call for a return of such distributions.
Potential investors should therefore carefully consider all associated risks before applying for New Shares and New Options under this Prospectus and should consider their personal circumstances (including financial and taxation issues) and seek advice from their stockbroker, accountant, solicitor or other professional advisers before deciding whether to invest.
A number of material risk factors which may adversely affect the Group and the value of the New Shares and the New Options offered under this Prospectus are set out in this section. This is not an exhaustive list and there may be other factors which have an adverse effect on the Group and the value of the New Shares and the New Options offered under this Prospectus.
$6.2$ General Risks
The New Shares and the New Options that are to be issued pursuant to this Prospectus are speculative because of the nature of the business of the Company. The Company has interests in the mineral exploration industry which is highly speculative and no assurances can be made that the Company's particular interests or projects will be successful.
A summary of the major general risks are described below:
Dilution $(a)$
Shareholders should be aware that to the extent that they do not accept their Entitlements in full, a Shortfall will arise and all or part of any Shortfall may be placed by the Company to other parties in which case their interest in the Company may be significantly diluted (see section 5.4 for further details). Further the Rights Issue Offer
is not being extended to Shareholders with registered addresses outside of Australia and New Zealand and the holdings of those Shareholders in the Company will be diluted by the Offer. Given the terms of the Rights Issue Offer, the interests of a Shareholder in the Company may be diluted by up to 25% in the event that they are not eligible to participate or elect not to accept their Entitlement in full if the Rights Issue Offer is fully subscribed or alternatively, any Shortfall is fully placed.
Acceptance of Entitlements or the placement of any Shortfall may also result in existing Shareholders or new investors significantly increasing their interest in the Company or obtaining a substantial interest in the Company. However, the Shortfall will only be placed to the extent that such placement is in compliance with the takeover provisions of the Corporations Act, which restrict a person and their associates from having a relevant interest in the Company of not more than 19.99%, subject to a number of exemptions.
The Company intends to actively work to secure commitments to place, and subsequently to place, any Shortfall of New Shares or the New Options not subscribed for by Eligible Shareholders.
$(b)$ Share Market Risk
The market price of listed securities can be expected to rise and fall in accordance with general market conditions and factors specifically affecting the Australian resources sector and exploration companies in particular. The New Shares and the New Options carry no guarantee in respect of profitability, dividends, return on capital, or the price at which they may trade on the ASX.
There are a number of factors (both national and international) that may affect the share market price and neither the Company nor its Directors have control of those factors.
General Economic Conditions $(c)$
Changes in the general economic climate in which the Company operates may adversely affect the financial performance of the Company. Factors that may contribute to that economic climate include the general level of economic activity, interest rates, inflation, supply and demand, industrial disruption and other economic factors. The price of commodities will also be of particular relevance to the Company. These factors are beyond the control of the Company and the Company cannot, with any degree of certainty, predict how they will impact on the Company.
$(d)$ Share price fluctuations
The market price of the Company's securities will be subject to varied and often unpredictable influences in the share market. Both domestic and world economic conditions may affect the performance of the Company. Factors such as the level of industrial production, inflation and interest rates impact all commodity prices.
$(e)$ Legislative change
Changes in government regulations and policies may adversely affect the financial performance or the current and proposed operations generally of the Company.
$(f)$ Unforeseen expenses
While the Company is not aware of any expenses that may need to be incurred that have not been taken into account, if such expenses were subsequently incurred, the expenditure proposals of the Company may be adversely affected.
6.3 Risks specific to an investment in the Company
In addition to the general market and economic risks noted in section 6.2, Applicants should be aware of risks specific to an investment in the Company, which may include, but are not limited those risks described below.
$(a)$ Exploration Risk
By its nature, the business of exploration is a highly speculative endeavour and involves significant risks. The Company's performance depends on the successful exploration and/or acquisition of Resources or Reserves, competent operational management and efficient financial management. The Company undertakes sampling, geophysics and drilling programs, and the outcomes of these programs will dictate the future performance of the Company. Further, the nature of exploration can sometimes result in industrial accidents and other incidents beyond the control of the Company.
There can be no assurances that the Company's exploration programs described in this Prospectus or those relating to any projects or tenements that the Company may acquire in the future, will result in the discovery of a significant mineral target. Even if a significant target is identified, there is no guarantee that it will be viable for economic exploitation.
Ultimate success depends on the discovery and delineation of economically recoverable mineral Resources, establishment of efficient exploration operations, obtaining necessary titles and access to projects, as well as government and other regulatory approvals.
The exploration and mining activities of the Company may be affected by a number of factors, including but not limited to geological conditions, seasonal weather patterns, technical difficulties and failures, continued availability of the necessary technical equipment, plant and appropriately skilled and experienced technicians, adverse changes in government policy or legislation and access to the required level of funding.
$(b)$ Additional Requirements for Capital
The Company's capital requirements depend on numerous factors. Depending on the outcome of the Company's exploration programs, in particular the geophysics and drilling proposed to be undertaken at the Cleveland project in Tasmania, the Company will require further financing in addition to amounts raised under this Prospectus. Any additional equity financing will dilute shareholdings and debt financing, if available, may involve restrictions on financing and operating activities. If the Company is unable to obtain additional financing as needed, it may be required to reduce the scope of its operations and scale back its exploration programs. In addition, the Company's ability to continue as a going concern may be diminished. There is no guarantee that the Company will be able to secure any additional funding or be able to secure funding on terms favourable to the Company and such circumstances will adversely affect the Company.
$(c)$ Feasibility and Development Risks
Given the stage of the Company's projects, there will be a complex, multidisciplinary process to be undertaken to complete a feasibility study to support any development proposal. There is a risk that the feasibility study and associated technical works will not achieve the results expected. There is also a risk that even if a positive feasibility study is produced, the project may not be successfully developed for commercial or financial reasons.
$(d)$ Exploration Targets
The geological characteristics of the Company's exploration targets appear to have similar characteristics to locations where established exploration and mining operations are being successfully conducted. Similarity of geological characteristics is not determinative of any similarity in actual mineral Resources. Whilst those characteristics may encourage explorers like the Company to commit expenditure to drilling programs, it must be appreciated that a substantial and real risk still exists that no viable Resource will be identified. As such, it is important that geological similarities be appreciated in the context that they only provide an indication rather than any determinative evidence of any viable outcome.
$(e)$ Changes in Laws and Regulations
Changes in Australian laws and regulations will have a significant effect on the Company's exploration operations, especially changes to environmental, mining, grant or renewal of concessions and taxation.
The political conditions under which the Company currently operates are stable compared to many areas of the world. Potential risk to the Company's activities may arise if there are changes to the political, legal and fiscal systems which might affect the ownership and operation of the Company's projects. This may also include changes in government and in legislative and regulatory regimes.
$(f)$ Future Government Actions
Future government actions concerning the economy or the operation and regulation of the mining industry could have a significant effect on the Company. No assurances can be given that the Company will not be adversely affected by any future developments in countries in which it operates.
$(g)$ Contractors
The Company is dependent on contractors and suppliers to supply vital services to its operations. The Company is therefore exposed to the possibility of adverse developments in the business environments of its contractors and suppliers. Any disruption to services or supply may have an adverse effect on the financial performance of the Company.
$(h)$ Reliance on Key Personnel
In formulating its exploration programs, the Company relies to a significant extent upon the experience and expertise of the Directors and management.
These persons possess knowledge of many of the Company's tenements through extensive personal experience of prospecting in those areas.
Although information concerning the Company's tenements has been chronicled, the loss of one or more of these key personnel may adversely affect the Company's prospects of pursuing its exploration programs within the timeframes and within the cost structure currently envisaged.
Although the key personnel have considerable experience and have previously been successful in their pursuits of important prospecting discoveries, there is no guarantee or assurance that they will be successful in their objectives pursuant to this Company.
$(i)$ Employees
The ability of the Company to achieve its objectives depends on being able to retain certain key employees, skilled operators and tradespeople. Whilst the Company has entered into employment contracts with key employees, the retention of their services cannot be quaranteed. The loss of key employees or skilled operators and tradespeople could significantly affect the performance of the Company's operations.
$(j)$ Tenements
A failure to adhere to the statutory expenditure requirements in relation the Company's current or future mineral tenements will, unless an exemption is granted, make one or more of the tenements subject to possible forfeiture and the loss by the Company of the associated rights to the tenements.
$(k)$ Native Title, Aboriginal Heritage and Heritage
The Native Title Act 1993 (Cth) recognises certain rights of indigenous Australians over land where those rights have not been extinguished. These rights, where they exist, may impact on the ability of the Company to carry out exploration and in future, mining activities, or obtain exploration or mining licences in Australia. In applying for licences over crown land, the Company must observe the provisions of Native Title legislation.
In carrying out exploration and/or mining operations, the Company must observe Native Title legislation (where applicable), Aboriginal heritage legislation and heritage legislation which protects sites and objects of significance and these may delay or impact adversely on the Company's operations in Australia.
$(1)$ Tenure and Access
Mining and exploration tenements are subject to periodic renewal. There is no guarantee that current or future tenements or future applications for renewal of tenements will be approved.
The Company's project is subject to numerous specific legislative conditions. The renewal of the term of a granted tenement in Australia is subject to discretion of the relevant Minister. Renewal conditions may include increased expenditure and work commitments or compulsory relinquishment of areas of the tenements comprising the Company's projects. The imposition of new conditions or the inability to meet those conditions may adversely affect the operations, financial position and/or performance of the Company.
Shareholders should consider that the investment in the Company is speculative and should consult their professional advisers before deciding whether to apply for the New Shares or the New Options.

The following is a summary of the principal rights of holders of the New Shares, subiect to any special rights attaching to any class of share at a future time. This summary is not exhaustive nor does it constitute a definitive statement of the rights and liabilities of the Company's Shareholders.
$(a)$ Share Capital
All issued Shares rank equally in all respects.
$(b)$ Voting Rights
At a general meeting of the Company, every Shareholder present in person, by an attorney, representative or proxy, has one vote on a show of hands and on a poll, one vote for every Share held, and for every partly paid share held (at present there are none), a fraction of a vote equal to the proportion which the amount paid up bears to the total issue price of the contributing Share. Where there is an equality of votes, the chairperson does not have a casting vote.
$(c)$ Dividend Rights
Subject to the rights of holders of shares issued with any special or preferential rights (at present there are none), the profits of the Company which the Directors of the Company may from time to time determine to distribute by way of dividend, are divisible among the Company's Shareholders in proportion to the Shares held by them respectively, according to the amount paid up or credited as paid up on them.
$(d)$ Rights on Winding Up
If, on a winding up of the Company, there remains a surplus, that surplus will, subject to the terms of issue of each share, the Corporations Act, the Listing Rules and any agreement between a member and the Company to the contrary, be divided amongst the members in proportion to the amounts paid up on their Shares.
$(e)$ Transfer of Shares
Generally, Shares may be transferred in accordance with the Corporations Act, the Listing Rules and the ASX Settlement Operating Rules. The Directors of the Company may refuse to register a transfer of Shares were permitted or required to do so by the Corporations Act, the Company's Constitution, the Listing Rules or the ASX Settlement Operating Rules.
Sale of Small Holdings $(f)$
The Company may take steps in respect of non-marketable holdings of Shares in the Company to effect an orderly sale of those Shares in the event that holders do not take steps to retain their holdings.
The Company may only take steps in relation to small holdings in accordance with the Company's Constitution and the Listing Rules.
$(q)$ Calls on Shares
Where shares are issued as partly paid, the Directors of the Company may make calls upon the holders of those shares to pay the whole of or a portion of the balance of the issue price. If a Shareholder fails to pay a call or instalment of a call, then subject to the Corporations Act and Listing Rules, the shares the subject of the call may be forfeited and interest and expenses may be payable in accordance with the Company's Constitution, the Corporations Act and Listing Rules or proceedings taken to recover the amount unpaid.
$(h)$ No Calls on Shares
As all Shares are fully paid, they are not subject to any calls for money by Directors of the Company and will therefore not become liable to forfeiture.
$(i)$ Further Increases in Capital
The allotment and issue of any new Shares is under the control of the Directors and, subject to any restrictions on the allotment of Shares imposed by the Company's Constitution, Listing Rules or the Corporations Act, the Directors of the Company may allot, issue or grant options over or otherwise dispose of those Shares to such persons, with such rights or restrictions as they may from time to time determine.
$(i)$ Variation of Rights Attaching to Shares
Where Shares of different classes are issued, the rights attaching to the Shares of a class (unless otherwise provided by their terms of issue) may only be varied by a special resolution passed at a separate general meeting of the holders of those Shares of that class, or with the written consent of the holders of at least three quarters of the issued Shares of that class
$(k)$ General Meeting
Each Shareholder will be entitled to receive notice of, and to attend and vote at, general meetings of the Company and to receive notices, accounts and other documents required to be furnished to Shareholders under the Company's Constitution, the Corporations Act and Listing Rules.
$(1)$ Alteration of Constitution
The Constitution of the Company can only be amended by a special resolution passed by at least three quarters of Shareholders present and voting at a general meeting. At least 28 days written notice specifying the intention to propose the resolution as a special resolution, must first be given to Shareholders.
$(m)$ ASX Listing Rules
For so long as the Company is admitted to the Official List of ASX, then despite anything in the Constitution of the Company, if the Listing Rules prohibit an act being done, the act must not be done. Nothing in the Company's Constitution prevents an act being done if the Listing Rules require the act to be done. If the Listing Rules require an act to be done or not to be done, authority is given for that act to be done or not to be done (as the case may be). If a provision of the Company's Constitution becomes inconsistent with the Listing Rules, the Company's Constitution is deemed not to contain that provision to the extent of that inconsistency.
For more particular details of the rights attaching to ordinary shares in the Company, investors should refer to the Constitution of the Company.
$7.4$ Rights and Liabilities of the New Options
The New Options will be issued on the following terms and conditions:
Consideration
The New Options are issued as part of the Offers (excluding the Placement Option Offer) on the basis of 1 New Option for each New Share issued. No further consideration other than the payment of the Offer Price will be payable by Eligible Shareholders of Applicants for the New Options.
Terms of Exercise
The exercise price of each New Option is \$0.006 (Exercise Price).
The New Options will expire on 30 June 2018 (Expiry Date).
Subject to and conditional upon any adjustment in accordance with the conditions set out below, each New Option entitles the holder to subscribe for one fully paid Share upon payment of the Exercise Price prior to the Expiry Date.
The New Options may be exercised at any time wholly or in part by delivering a duly completed form of notice of exercise together with a cheque for the Exercise Price per New Option to the Company at any time on or after the date of issue and allotment of the New Options, on or before the Expiry Date.
On the valid exercise of the New Options and payment of the Exercise Price, the Company will issue Shares ranking pari passu with the then issued Shares.
Transferability
The New Options are transferable, however, will be unlisted.
Rights to participate
Holders of New Options do not have any right to participate in new issues of securities in the Company made to Shareholders generally. The Company will, where required pursuant to the Listing Rules, provide holders of New Options with notice prior to the books record date (to determine entitlements to any new issue of securities made to shareholders generally) to exercise the New Options, in accordance with the requirements of the Listing Rules.
Holders of New Options do not participate in any dividends unless the New Options have been exercised and the resultant Shares are issued prior to the record date to determine entitlements to the dividend.
Reconstructions
In the event of any reconstruction (including consolidation, subdivision, reduction or return) of the issued capital of the Company:
the number of New Options, the Exercise Price, or both will be reconstructed (as $(a)$ appropriate) in a manner consistent with the Listing Rules as applicable at the time of reconstruction, but with the intention that such reconstruction will not result in any benefits being conferred on the holders of New Options which are not conferred on shareholders; and
$(b)$ subject to the provisions with respect to rounding of entitlements as sanctioned by a meeting of Shareholders approving a reconstruction of capital, in all other respects the terms for the exercise of the New Options will remain unchanged.
Pro rata issues
If there is a pro rata issue (except a bonus issue), the Exercise Price may be reduced according to the following formula:
$On = O - E [P-(S + D)]$
$N + 1$
Where:
- $O^{n}$ = the new exercise price of the New Option;
- $\Omega$ = the old exercise price of the New Option;
- = the number of underlying securities into which one New Option is exercisable; E
- P the average market price per security (weighted by reference to volume) of the $=$ underlying securities during the five trading days ending on the day before the ex right date or the ex entitlements date:
- S = the subscription price for a security under the pro rata issue;
- dividend due but not yet paid on the existing underlying securities (except those to be D $=$ issued under the pro rata issue);
- $N$ the number of securities with rights or entitlements that must be held to receive a right $\equiv$ to one new security.
Bonus issues
If there is a bonus issue to the holders of Shares in the Company, the number of Shares over which the New Options is exercisable may be increased by the number of Shares which the holder of the New Options would have received if the New Options had been exercised before the record date for the bonus issue.
The terms of the New Options may only be changed if holders (whose votes are not to be disregarded) of Shares in the Company approve of such a change. However, the terms of the New Options must not be changed to reduce the Exercise Price, increase the number of New Options or change any period for exercise of the New Options.
Quotation
The Company will not make an application to ASX for quotation of the New Options.
Application will be made for quotation of the Shares issued upon exercise of New Options.
$7.5$ Constitution
The Constitution is in a form common to public companies in Australia and was adopted by the Company on 22 December 2009.
The Company will provide a copy of the Constitution to any Shareholder upon request, free of charge.
7.6 Corporate Governance
The Company has adopted a Corporate Governance Charter which can be obtained, at no cost, from the Company's registered office and is also available on the Company's website: www.elementos.com.au.
The Company has established an Audit and Risk Management Committee. The Company has not established any other Board committees to assist the Board in exercising its authority.
The Company reports on its compliance with the recommendations made by the Corporate Governance Principles and Recommendations in its annual report. Where the Company's corporate governance practices do not correlate with the practices recommended by the ASX Corporate Governance Council, the Company is working towards compliance however it does not consider that all practices are appropriate for the Company due to the size and scale of the Company operations.
