ASX RELEASE

Infill drilling program intersects additional tin mineralisation at Oropesa Tin Project

Elementos Limited (ASX: ELT) has confirmed intersections of near-surface tin mineralisation at its Oropesa Tin Project, Spain, which are significantly broader than previously modelled by its 2021 Mineral Resource Estimate[1] .

The first hole to be completed in Elementos’ nine-hole infill drill program[3] , drill hole ADD_24, returned broad intersections at the margins of the current geological resource, highlighted by the results below:

ADD_24:- 37.9m @ 0.34% Sn from 59.3m

Managing Director Joe David commented, “This is an encouraging result to kick-off our 2022 infill drilling program at Oropesa. The main aim of this program is to upgrade the Inferred Mineral Resources, that reside within the US$30,000/t pit shell[4] , to a higher confidence Resource category. Drill hole ADD_24 targeted the intersection of two significant previously interpreted controlling structures and confirms the continuity of the tin mineralisation at this location, but notably has intersected a much broader zone of mineralisation than currently modelled.

ABOUT ELEMENTOS

Elementos is committed to the safe and environmentally conscious exploration, development, and production of its global tin projects. The company owns two world class tin projects with large resource bases and significant exploration potential in mining-friendly jurisdictions. Led by an experienced-heavy management team and Board, Elementos is positioned as a pure tin platform, with an ability to develop projects in multiple countries. The company is well-positioned to help bridge the forecast significant tin supply shortfall in coming years. This shortfall is being partly driven by reduced productivity of major tin miners in addition to increasing global demand due to electrification, green energy, automation, electric vehicles and the conversion to lead-free solders as electrical contacts.

Section 1 Sampling Techniques and Data

Diamond Drilling Exploration Program, Oropesa Tin Project, Spain – August 2022

Criteria JORC Code explanation Commentary
Sampling
techniques
• Nature and quality of sampling (eg cut channels, random chips, or specific
specialised industry standard measurement tools appropriate to the minerals
under investigation, such as down hole gamma sondes, or handheld XRF
instruments, etc). These examples should not be taken as limiting the broad
meaning of sampling.
• Include reference to measures taken to ensure sample representivity and the
appropriate calibration of any measurement tools or systems used.
• Aspects of the determination of mineralisation that are Material to the Public
Report.
• In cases where ‘industry standard’ work has been done this would be
relatively simple (eg ‘reverse circulation drilling was used to obtain 1 m
samples from which 3 kg was pulverised to produce a 30 g charge for fire
assay’). In other cases more explanation may be required, such as where
there is coarse gold that has inherent sampling problems. Unusual
commodities or mineralisation types (eg submarine nodules) may warrant
disclosure of detailed information.
• ADD_24 was completed by PQ diameter pre-collar diamond drill core to
29.8m. The remainder of the drill hole was completed recovering HQ diameter
drill core.
• Only HQ drill core was sampled based on intervals determined by the project
geologist and cut using a diamond saw to split the core in half.
• Cassiterite mineralisation at Oropesa is rarely visible to the naked eye.
Historical exploration mineralogical reports (¹) have reported a strong
relationship between tin mineralisation (cassiterite) and sulphide
mineralisation. High levels of oxidation of the sulphide mineralisation to iron
oxides has been observed and recorded in drill logs from previous drilling
campaigns at Oropesa. These oxidised zones occur near the surface
(gossans) and within sub-vertical fault zones. Historical drilling data indicates
that these highly oxidised zones can contain significant quantities of tin
mineralisation (cassiterite).
• Observations made from transitional and fresh drill core from the current
drilling program are in keeping with historical observations as indicators of
potential cassiterite mineralisation zones (± sulphides) at Oropesa. These
include silicification of the host sandstones with finely disseminated to semi-
massive sulphides (pyrite ± arsenopyrite) with late-stage infill colloform
and/or vuggy quartz(
¹). Cassiterite mineralisation at Oropesa has also been
observed to be associated with intense silicification, leaching and chlorite
alteration of the host rocks. Physical or chemical weathering of the fine-
grained sulphides has been observed as small voids (pitting) in the host
rocks.
• Samples have been selected for analysis based on portable NITON XRF
analysis taken at 10cm intervals and from visual identification of zones of
potential tin mineralisation. The NITON portable XRF data has been used
solelyas aguide to sample boundaries for analysis at a commercial

• Samples were split into half core with a minimum sample weight of
approximately 1kg. Samples were prepared and analysed in a certified
commercial laboratory.
Drilling
techniques
• Drill type (eg core, reverse circulation, open-hole hammer, rotary air blast,
auger, Bangka, sonic, etc) and details (eg core diameter, triple or standard
tube, depth of diamond tails, face-sampling bit or other type, whether core is
oriented and if so, by what method, etc).
• A Drillcon Christensen CS 140 self-propelled track mounted drilling rig was
used, drilling PQ and HQ standard diamond core. Coring was from surface.
• Drill core was collected using a standard triple tube system.
• Drill core is not oriented
Drill sample
recovery
• Method of recording and assessing core and chip sample recoveries and
results assessed.
• Measures taken to maximise sample recovery and ensure representative
nature of the samples.
• Whether a relationship exists between sample recovery and grade and
whether sample bias may have occurred due to preferential loss/gain of
fine/coarse material.
• Diamond drill hole core recoveries and RQD are logged. Measurements are
taken systematically downhole between core blocks. The maximum
increment being 3.1m.
• Overall drill core recovery for the mineralised intervals being reported is
89.7%
• The mineralisation occurs predominantly in softer sandstone units. A
mineralisation depth prediction table is used to assist the drillers in preparing
to drill the mineralised zones and maximise recoveries.
• Visual assessment of the drill core shows that core recovery is variable with
zones of lower recoveries often noted in zones of significant oxidation,
mineralisation or structure. No clear relationship exists between tin grade
and recovery.
Logging • Whether core and chip samples have been geologically and geotechnically
logged to a level of detail to support appropriate Mineral Resource
estimation, mining studies and metallurgical studies.
• Whether logging is qualitative or quantitative in nature. Core (or costean,
channel, etc) photography.
• The total length andpercentage of the relevant intersections logged.
• All drill core has been photographed dry and wet. The core is photographed
within core boxes, which are identified by drill hole number and start and
finish depths. Drill run depths are marked on core blocks. All drill core has
been geologically and geotechnically logged prior to being sampled.

Elementos Limited announced to the ASX the acquisition of Minas De
Estaño De España, SLU (“MESPA or the Company”) from TSX-V listed
Eurotin Ltd on 31 July 2018: (Acquisition of the Oropesa Tin Project)

MESPA has registered title to the Oropesa project property with the
Andalucia mining authorities (Permit number 13.050), under the Spanish
Mining Act. The property is a 14.51km² concession in Andalucía, southern
Spain, located 75 km northwest of Cordoba and 180 km northeast of Seville.
On 10th October 2017 the Company filed an Exploitation Permit application
for the Oropesa property. Under Spanish Law an Exploitation Concession is
granted for a 30-year period and may be extended for two further periods of
30 years each and up to a maximum of 90 years. Completing and filing the
Exploitation Application prior to the expiration of the Investigation Permit
allows the Company to remain in compliance with its title for the Oropesa
property

Geology • Deposit type, geological setting and style of mineralisation. • The Oropesa deposit is characterised by replacement-style tin mineralisation
(cassiterite and minor stannite) occurring mainly at sandstone-conglomerate
contacts in the Peñarroya Basin, a Carboniferous basin formed during the
Hercynian/Variscan Orogeny. Reactivation of syn-sedimentary and basin-
controlling faults has resulted in complex, folded geometries. Subordinate
fault-hosted mineralisation is also present.
Drill hole
Information
• A summary of all information material to the understanding of the exploration
results including a tabulation of the following information for all Material drill
holes:
o easting and northing of the drill hole collar
o elevation or RL (Reduced Level – elevation above sea level in metres) of
the drill hole collar
o dip and azimuth of the hole
o down hole length and interception depth
o hole length.
• If the exclusion of this information is justified on the basis that the information
is not Material and this exclusion does not detract from the understanding of
the report, the Competent Person should clearly explain why this is the case.
• All material data for the drill hole information related to this report is located
in Table 1 in the body of this announcement.
• An estimated Mineral Resource for Oropesa was released to the ASX on 8th
November 2021 - “Oropesa Tin Project Mineral Resource Estimate”. Please
refer to this announcement for information related to the geological resource.

Data
aggregation
methods
• In reporting Exploration Results, weighting averaging techniques, maximum
and/or minimum grade truncations (eg cutting of high grades) and cut-off
grades are usually Material and should be stated.
• Where aggregate intercepts incorporate short lengths of high grade results
and longer lengths of low grade results, the procedure used for such
aggregation should be stated and some typical examples of such
aggregations should be shown in detail.
• The assumptions used for any reporting of metal equivalent values should be
clearly stated.
• Weighted averaging based on core length and tin grade has been applied to
the reporting of mineralized intervals in the body of this report.
• The variation in tin grade is not considered significant enough to be material
in the compilation of the reported mineralisation intervals. See Table 2 in the
body of this report.
• No assay results were considered necessary to be truncated for the weighted
averaging techniques employed in this report.
• No metal equivalent values are reported.

lengths
• These relationships are particularly important in the reporting of Exploration
Results.
• If the geometry of the mineralisation with respect to the drill hole angle is
known, its nature should be reported.
• If it is not known and only the down hole lengths are reported, there should
be a clear statement to this effect (eg ‘down hole length, true width not
known’).
• This report is based on analytical data from ALS, Seville on drill core analyses
only.
• The drill holes have been targeted to intersect the mineralisation
perpendicular to the known mineralisation boundaries.
• All drill hole lengths reported in the release are “down hole lengths”. True
widths are not known.
Diagrams • Appropriate maps and sections (with scales) and tabulations of intercepts
should be included for any significant discovery being reported These should
include, but not be limited to a plan view of drill hole collar locations and
appropriate sectional views.

reporting
• Where comprehensive reporting of all Exploration Results is not practicable,
representative reporting of both low and high grades and/or widths should be
practiced to avoid misleading reporting of Exploration Results.
• The reporting is considered to be balanced.
Other
substantive
exploration
data
• Other exploration data, if meaningful and material, should be reported
including (but not limited to): geological observations; geophysical survey
results; geochemical survey results; bulk samples – size and method of
treatment; metallurgical test results; bulk density, groundwater, geotechnical
and rock characteristics; potential deleterious or contaminating substances.
• Elementos is reporting results for drill holes that have the following principal
objectives;

To convert existing Inferred Resources into Indicated Resources to
improve the overall waste-to-ore stripping ratio
Further work • The nature and scale of planned further work (eg tests for lateral extensions
or depth extensions or large-scale step-out drilling).
• Diagrams clearly highlighting the areas of possible extensions, including the
main geological interpretations and future drilling areas, provided this
information is not commercially sensitive.
• Complete the proposed diamond drilling program. Current plan is for a total of
9 drill holes for approximately 1,590m.
• Completion of a new geological resource model
• Converting resources from Inferred to Indicated
• Follow-up exploration drill testing on significant open-ended mineralisation
trends that were identified during the 2021 exploration drilling program
