ASX RELEASE

Final drilling assays received at the Oropesa Tin Project

Elementos Limited (ASX: ELT) has intersected further tin, zinc and copper mineralisation outside the Mineral Resource at its Oropesa Tin Project in Spain.

Exploration Diamond Drilling to the north-west of the Oropesa Resource

Drill holes ADD_05 and ADD_07 were drilled to test for extensions to the semi-massive to massive sulphide mineralisation intersected in drill holes SGT_4 and ADD_04A[1&2 ] to the north-west of the Oropesa Mineral Resource.

ADD_05 intersected zinc and copper mineralisation over a distance of 8.9m (downhole). This result confirms continuity of the base metal mineralisation to the northwest of the Oropesa Mineral Resource.

ADD_05:8.9m @ 1.14% Cu & 0.31% Zn from 87.0m

ADD_07 intersected a significant zone of tin mineralisation to the northwest of and at depth below the current Oropesa Mineral Resource.

ADD_07:23.0m @ 0.14% Sn from 189.3m (0.1% Sn cut-off grade)

TOMORROW’S TIN

Drill holes ADD_05 and ADD_07 not only contain valuable mineralised intercepts but also add important geological information to Oropesa’s exploration assessment and provides valuable information for the planning and execution of future exploration drilling programmes to the northwest of the current Oropesa Mineral Resource.

Extensional exploration diamond drilling to the south-east of the Oropesa Resource

Diamond drill hole ADD-46 was designed to test for shallow extensions to the south-eastern edge of the known Mineral Resource. The mineralisation intersected in ADD_46 has defined the boundaries of potential extensions to the Mineral Resource in this region.

ADD_46:0.6m @ 0.30% Sn from 102.0m (0.1% Sn cut-off grade)

Managing Director Joe David commented

“We continue to intersect a Volcanic Massive Sulphide (VMS) style of mineralisation to the northwest of the deposit. This appears to be derived from a different mineralising fluid to the main deposit which results in both lower tin grades but higher zinc grades, with the addition of some decent intersections of copper. We continue to view these intercepts as reconnaissance drilling and will use the current results to model the VMS style mineralisation further with the aim of assisting us to better target future drilling – and hopefully intersecting further, larger and more significant intersections.

The continuation of mineralisation outside the bounds of the currently defined Mineral Resource demonstrates the potential for the Oropesa Tin Project to be further extended and expanded beyond what is in the basis of design for the Definitive Feasibility Study.

This completes the current phase of exploration drilling at Oropesa

Today’s announced results do not contribute to the recently announced Mineral Resource Estimate[3] and therefore will not contribute tonnages or grade to the Oropesa Tin Project Definitive Feasibility Study (DFS). These results can therefore be viewed as indicative to further exploration potential contained both extensionally and regionally across the Oropesa tenement.

Section 1 Sampling Techniques and Data

Diamond Drilling Exploration Program, Oropesa Tin Project, Spain – June 2023

Criteria JORC Code explanation Commentary
Sampling
techniques
• Nature and quality of sampling (e.g. 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 (e.g. ‘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 (e.g. submarine nodules) may warrant
disclosure of detailed information.
• ADD_05, ADD_07 & ADD_46 were completed by PQ diameter pre-collar
diamond drill core to depths where hole stability had been established. The
remainder of the drill hole was completed recovering HQ diameter drill core.
• PQ and 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 current and
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 ± sphalerite ± 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

laboratory and are not presented in this report.
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 (e.g. core, reverse circulation, open-hole hammer, rotary air blast,
auger, Bangka, sonic, etc) and details (e.g. 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.
Drill core recovery for the mineralised intervals being reported was:
ADD_05 – 8.9m @ 0.31% Zn & 1.14% Cu from 87.0m – 96%
ADD_07 – 23.0m @ 0.14% Sn from 189.3m – 98%
ADD_46 – 0.6m @ 0.30% Sn from 102.0m – 100%
• 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.
• 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.

Sub-sampling
techniques and
sample
preparation
• If core, whether cut or sawn and whether quarter, half or all core taken.
• If non-core, whether riffled, tube sampled, rotary split, etc and whether
sampled wet or dry.
• For all sample types, the nature, quality and appropriateness of the sample
preparation technique.
• Quality control procedures adopted for all sub-sampling stages to maximise
representivity of samples.
• Measures taken to ensure that the sampling is representative of the in-situ
material collected, including for instance results for field duplicate/second-
half sampling.
• Whether sample sizes are appropriate to the grain size of the material being
sampled.
• Whole core was split using a core saw operated by trained Company
personnel. The samples were recorded and submitted to an ISO-accredited
ALS facility in Seville for preparation. This facility followed procedure CRU-31
to weigh, dry and crush the samples where 70% <2mm. A 1000g sample was
split and pulverised to 85% passing 75 microns. Prepared samples were sent
to the ALS laboratory in Galway, Ireland for analysis.
• Duplicate samples were analysed by ALS as part of the internal QAQC
procedures
Quality of
assay data and
laboratory tests
• The nature, quality and appropriateness of the assaying and laboratory
procedures used and whether the technique is considered partial or total.
• For geophysical tools, spectrometers, handheld XRF instruments, etc, the
parameters used in determining the analysis including instrument make and
model, reading times, calibrations factors applied and their derivation, etc.
• Nature of quality control procedures adopted (e.g. standards, blanks,
duplicates, external laboratory checks) and whether acceptable levels of
accuracy (i.e. lack of bias) and precision have been established.
• ALS, Galway, Ireland, analysed the samples for tin by peroxide fusion, ICP-
AES (ME-ICP81X).
• The QAQC procedures featured the insertion of accredited standards and
blanks at an insertion rate of approximately 5% in every batch to the
laboratory.
• ALS Galway selected sample repeats in accordance with their procedures
Elementos considers the assay data from the drill core to be accurate, based
on the generally accepted industry standard practices employed by the

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. .
In April 2022 the Company filed an updated Exploitation Permit application,
Environmental Impact Study and Restoration plan with the Andalucian
authorities 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

Exploration
done by other
parties
• Acknowledgment and appraisal of exploration by other parties. • Instituto Geológico y Minero de España (“IGME”) conducted an exploration
program in southern Spain between1969–1990, including geological mapping
and geochemical surveys, which led to the discovery of tin on the Oropesa
property in 1982.Additional tin exploration targeted Oropesa and the
neighbouring La Grana property during 1983–1990, which included further
mapping, stream sediment sampling, geochemical soils, geophysical surveys,
trenching and initial drilling.
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. Re-activation 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 updated Mineral Resource for Oropesa was released to the ASX on 14th
February 2023 - “Oropesa Tin Project 2023 Mineral Resource Update”*1
Please refer to this announcement for information related to the geological
resource.

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,theprocedure used for such
• Weighted averaging based on core length and tin grade has been applied to
the reporting of mineralised intervals in the body of this report.
• The variation in tin, zinc and copper grades are not considered significant

• No assay results were considered necessary to be truncated for the weighted
averaging techniques employed in this report.
• No metal equivalent values are reported.
Relationship
between
mineralisation
widths and
intercept
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.
• See main body of the report
Balanced
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 extend the known boundaries of existing resources and to locate
additional resources outside the boundaries of the known resources.
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.
• Conversion of remaining Inferred to Indicated
• Follow-up exploration drill testing on significant open-ended mineralisation
trends that were identified during the 2021 exploration drilling program
• Follow-up exploration on mineralisation identified outside the current mineral
resource boundaries
