Why these tin projects?
Elementos is advancing two mature tin assets through key development stages into operations within the highly regulated and reliable mining jurisdictions of Andalucía, Spain, and Tasmania, Australia.
The company is poised to deliver tin into significant forecast deficits, due to the strong growth in demand from global electronics, increased demand for green transition metals, and a tin supply-chain which is regularly suffering major and sustained supply disruptions. The major use of tin metal is in the form of electronic solder, which is the glue which connects all electric circuits.
The company is focussed on developing both the Oropesa Tin Project in Andalucía, Spain and restarting the historic Cleveland Tin Mine in Tasmania, Australia. Oropesa’s recently delivered strong Definitive Feasibility Study (DFS) clearly demonstrating the technical and economic viability of the project. The project now has a clear pathway to develop the highly defined, responsibly planned, strategically located tin project within the European Union.
The company is also actively building its mine-to-metal tin strategy, to ensure a vertically integrated tin supply 100% within the EU. The company had previously signed a term-sheet for an option agreement to acquire 50% of the Robledallano Tin Smelter, located 220km from Oropesa, and has now signed an Industrial Testwork Partnership Agreement with Atlantic Copper (a Freeport-McMoRan Company) who operate the Huelva Metallurgical complex, located 245km from Oropesa.
