INVESTMENT HIGHLIGHTS The Plan

To identify, acquire and develop projects located in mineral rich, highly prospective geological environments with developed infrastructure nearby, an attractive investment environment, and low sovereign risk.

The Projects
Argentina - a mineral rich and highly prospective country San Juan Province is one of the most attractive destinations for mining and exploration in Argentina due to its suitable geology and mineral prospectivity. The region hosts a number of world class mining operations and advanced stage development projects. The Company has a mix of major large scale copper/gold porphyry targets at Santo Domingo and high grade gold-silver epithermal vein mineralisation at Manantiales. Santo Domingo is an exposed copper/gold/molybdenum style porphyry system. Three major alteration zones identified with anomalous surface mineralisation. Porphyry targets are often very large; potentially in the range 0.5-1.0 billion tonnes of mineralisation. Manantiales is located within a epithermal gold district, adjoining and immediately to the north of Casposo a gold-silver development. Manantiales shares a similar geological and mineralisation environment to Casposo. Rock chip sampling has identified two main target zones with some exceptionally high gold-silver grades. Australia targeting world class and emerging mineral provinces Mt Isa Inlier Millenium contains a thick zone of cobalt mineralisation. Further exploration is planned to assess potential for an open cut cobalt operation, producing a high value cobalt metal. New England Fold Belt - three large project areas in historically rich mineralised mining areas. Targeting large, open-cut, mineable gold and polymetallic ore bodies, utilising modern day exploration techniques.

The People
The board and management team has a combination of technical, managerial and capital markets experience. The group has expertise in exploring and operating projects in Argentina and Australia, and has an extensive network of contacts and relationships. Directors and management previously involved in the acquisition and development of several important Argentinean projects including Cerro Negro, Olaroz, Manantiales, Cerro Morro and Caspiche.

PROSPECTUS 2009

LETTER FROM THE CHAIRMAN

Dear Investor, On behalf of the Directors of Elementos Limited, it is my pleasure to invite you to participate in the Company's initial public offering. Elementos has assembled a prospective collection of large-target exploration opportunities with the potential to yield world-class mineral projects. These are all located in mineral rich, attractive geological settings in Argentina and Australia, with low sovereign risk. The portfolio of exploration projects, which are principally gold and base metal focused, is a carefully selected mix of different mineralisation types. There is a good balance between early-stage or greenfield targets, through to brownfield areas which are substantially more progressed and able to be drilled in 2010. Elementos' strategy is to add value through and exploration and discovery, and to crystallise this value through development. The Company has appointed a board and management team which has a combination of technical, managerial, and capital markets experience. This includes experience exploring and operating projects in Argentina and Australia, together with an extensive network of contacts and relationships. A detailed budget and work plan has been developed, maximising in-ground expenditure. The key objective is to add short-term value for shareholders by identifying the most prospective targets for early drilling. I recommend you read this Prospectus carefully. And, on behalf of the Directors, I look forward to welcoming you as a shareholder.

Your sincerely,

A.Anthony McLellan Chairman

PROSPECTUS 2009

SUMMARY OF KEY RISKS

A summary of key risks is set out below. Further detail on these risks and others provided in Sections 4.1 and 4.2.

Contractual Risk
The Company's interests in the tenements are contractual only. Accordingly, there is a risk that the other party may be unwilling or unable to comply with the terms of the Material Contracts. There is no certainty that the Company will be able to obtain adequate damages or specific performance in the case of such default and this may have a material impact on the value of the Company and its shares.

Speculative Investment
The Company is at a very early stage of its development and accordingly there are significant risks associated with investing in the Company. Potential investors should take into account the significant risks of investing and consider carefully whether investing in the Shares is an appropriate investment in light of their personal circumstances.

Reliance on Key Personnel Risk

The Company relies to a significant extent upon the experience and expertise of the Executive Directors and Australian and Argentinean management. These persons possess knowledge of many of the Company's tenements through extensive personal experience of prospecting in those areas. Loss of one or more of these personnel may adversely affect the Company's prospects of pursuing its exploration programs within the timeframes and within the cost structure as currently envisaged.

Stock Market Risk

The price of the Company's securities may be highly volatile and can be expected to fluctuate depending on various factors including exploration success, market sentiment, commodity price, interest rates, and general economic conditions in Australia, Argentina and the world.

Commodity Price Risk Tenure and Access Risk

The Company's prospects and share price will be influenced by the price of the commodities targeted in its exploration programs. Commodity prices fluctuate and are affected by factors including the relationship between global supply and demand for minerals, forward selling by producers, the cost of production and general global economic conditions. Mining and exploration tenements are subject to periodic renewal. There is no guarantee that current or future tenements or future applications for tenements will be approved. The Company's tenements are subject to numerous Queensland, New South Wales and Argentine legislative conditions.

Exploration Risk
Mineral exploration is speculative and involves significant risks which even the highest levels of experience, care and planning cannot control. There is no assurance that exploration programmes will be successful in the discovery of new ore bodies or the delineation of resources in any or all of the Company's activities.

Operating in Argentina Risk

The Company's key assets include its interests in mining tenements in Argentina. As such, there are a number of risks associated with this including: ! Changes in Argentine laws, regulations and political climate ! Operating in different time zone with a different language, culture and legal environment compared to Australia.

Elementos has a budgeted exploration program of $3.5-5.0 million (based on the minimum and maximum capital raising) over two years, including option and exercise payments on projects, if they are all exercised. The Projects

The Company is an Australian-based exploration and development company initially incorporated as a wholly owned subsidiary of ASX listed company, Orocobre. The Company was created to advance the prospective hard rock copper-gold-molybdenum assets owned by Orocobre by way of an asset de-merger and subsequent listing on ASX.

The objective of creating a new company is to achieve better market recognition of these assets, with a management team dedicated to unlocking their potential. The restructure is expected to better facilitate the pursuit of attractive growth opportunities, and fast-track exploration activities.

2.2 Corporate Vision

The Company's vision is to create shareholder wealth through the exploration and discovery of high quality mineral deposits and to realise this value through development of the Company's projects. Elementos Limited's success will be based on three key Essential Elements:

! the Projects, and ! the People.

The Company's portfolio includes six exploration properties in three mineral provinces in two countries (Argentina and Australia). Tenements are located in world class and emerging mineral provinces. The Company has secured projects in mineral rich, highly prospective geological locations, with developed infrastructure located nearby, an attractive investment environment and low sovereign risk.

San Juan, Argentina

Regional characteristics
Western Argentina has similar geology to Chile, although comparatively poorly explored, and its mineral potential not developed to the same degree. Host to number of world class, large scale, and low cost mining operations and advanced stage mineral projects: ! Mines Veladero and Gualcamayo ! Deposits Pascua Lama, Casposo, Los Azules, and El Pachon Santo Domingo inland location analogous with Alumbrera, one of the world largest copper-gold porphyries, 430km to the north. Manantiales is a developing epithermal vein district; immediately adjacent to a development project at Caspso. Low altitude projects with well established regional infrastructure compared to higher Andes projects. Track record of the provincial government demonstrates that it is very supportive of new development projects.

Mt Isa Inlier. Queensland

Host to a large number of significant deposits including: ! Copper/gold - Mt Isa Copper, Ernest Henry, Osborne, and Selwyn ! Lead/zinc/silver Mt Isa Lead/Zinc, Hilton, George Fisher, Cannington, and Century Several new undeveloped discoveries in close proximity to Millenium include: ! Merlin (molybdenum and rhenium) ! Las Minerale/Rocklands (copper/cobalt) The district has established mining, transportation and processing infrastructure in close proximity to the major regional centres of Mt Isa and Cloncurry. Project access is via 35km well maintained dirt road.

New England Fold Belt, NSW

New technology and geological ideas are successfully reviving this long dormant historical gold and basemetal province New geological model and new exploration technologies to test the area. More recent discoveries in the province include: ! Gold Timbarra and Seven Hills ! Molybdenum - Kingsgate and Stanthorpe projects Hillgrove, put on care and maintenance in August 2009, was one of the world's larger antinomy mines outside of China Well supported by regional infrastructure.

Elementos believes its tenements are highly prospective for the discovery of the economically important deposit types set out in the table below. The typical grade and tonnage associated with each type of mineralisation is summarised below, by a comparison of other deposits of a similar style. It should be noted that while there are typical grades associated with these types of mineralisation, the grades are conceptual in nature and may not apply to the Company's projects, as there has been insufficient exploration to define any mineral resource to a JORC standard and it is uncertain if further exploration will result in the determination of a mineral resource or if determined, whether the resource will be economically viable:

Project
Santo Domingo Copper, Gold

Description*
Preliminary exploration suggests an exposed copper-gold-molybdenum style porphyry system, as indicated by extensive high-sulphidation and mineralisation. Three major alteration zones identified with anomalous mineralisation exposed over several square kilometres: ! El Arriero rock chip samples have included 1.3g/t gold, 0.54% copper, 0.05% zinc and 17 g/t silver ! Divisoria rock chip results over a 500m by 500m area has included 4.64g/t gold and 0.56% copper ! Alunita surface sample values up to 4.09g/t gold Potentially a new belt of porphyry mineralisation.

Manantiales Gold, Silver

Located within a highly prospective epithermal gold district, adjoining and immediately to the north of Troy Resources gold-silver vein development, Casposo. Shares a similar geological and mineralisation environment including the rock types and structures that host Casposo. Historical rock chip sampling at Manantiales returned positive results: ! Manantial: 22 samples >1g/t Au including 9.0g/t Au and 44.8g/t Ag ! La Puerta: Rock chips up to 13.92g/t Au & 30g/t Ag

Millenium Cobalt, Copper

Targeting a thick zone of cobalt mineralisation formed around a number of high grade shear zones, identified through historical drilling. Drill intersections have included: hole FD02 - 10.7 metres @ 2,333ppm Cobalt and 2.02% copper (within an envelope of 79 metres at 341ppm cobalt) and hole FD11 - 16 metres @ 1,743ppm cobalt within a much wider zone mineralised zone. Potential for an open cut operation, producing high value cobalt metal and potentially copper and gold. Historical metallurgical test-work demonstrated positive results.

Cathedral Rocks Gold, Lead, Zinc, Molybdenum

Known base metal deposit, with significant historical tin production, never tested for gold or molybdenum. New geological model suggest high prospectivity for a Timbarra style Intrusive related gold-molybdenum deposit. Covers major reefs of the Dalmorton and Little River goldfields which reportedly produced over 70,000 ounces from a number of lodes. Using new geological ideas to re-assess a known minor resource to define a large open-cut mineable gold resource.

Dalmorton Gold

Sydney Flat Gold

Historically prolific alluvial gold production (167,000 ozs) with a large area undeveloped due to the limitations of old mining methods. Gold mineralisation in an ancient river system partially buried by thin veneer of basalt. Target that will benefit from the application of modern mining and clean extraction techniques.
* The data referred to in the table is historical in nature. Historical results are not in any way a guarantee of the existence of economically viable resources or the potential to successfully develop mining projects.

2.5 The People

The board and management team has a combination of technical, managerial and capital markets experience. This includes a wealth of experience operating and exploring in Argentina and Australia, including an extensive network of contacts and relationships. Directors and management have also previously been involved in the acquisition and development of several projects in Argentina, including: ! Cerro Negro - acquired and advanced the early development of the Cerro Negro project in Argentina through an unlisted entity Oroplata Limited. Oroplata Limited later merged with Andean Resources (present market cap circa A$850 million) and Cerro Negro has developed into a multi million ounce gold project. ! Olaroz - acquired and completed significant pre-development work including a pre-feasibility study on a proposed new lithiumpotash development. ! Manantiales negotiated an option to acquire 100% of the Manantiales epithermal project. ! Cerro Morro discovery of the Escondida deposits and developing the project into a significant exploration target for Exeter Resources.

! Caspiche (Chile) managed members of the team that discovered and developed the Caspiche copper-gold porphyry target in northern Chile. This background and collective experience highlights the potential to acquire potentially world class exploration projects in both countries.

2.6 Project Overviews

Argentina
Unlike neighbour Chile, which has been a major mining country for many decades Argentina has only recently joined the ranks of significant mining and mineral exporting countries. Prospectivity in Argentina has long been recognised as similar to Chile's, but it was not until the 1990's that new Federal mining legislation and foreign investment provisions opened up the country to well funded foreign mining and exploration companies. Since then, there have been major developments in Argentina including Bajo de la Alumbrera, Veladero, Gualcamayo, and others. San Juan is one of the most prospective destinations for mining and exploration in Argentina. In addition to its attractive geology and mineral prospectivity, San Juan is host to a number of significant mineral deposits, and major mining operations, including:

Santo Domingo
Copper, gold, molybdenum Elementos has an option to acquire 100% of the Santo Domingo project in San Juan, Argentina. Location and access The Santo Domingo project area comprises approximately 215km in the Sierra de Chucuma, a mountain range of modest altitude (some 1,200 metres at the project area), to the east of San Juan. Although the area is remote from habitation, there is a sealed road only 20 kilometres to the east. The regional city of San Juan is approximately one hour's drive away, once on the sealed road. Unlike many other porphyry copper projects in South America, Santo Domingo is well supported by infrastructure and labour. This will reduce the development hurdles should potentially economic mineralisation be discovered. Prospectivity and exploration target Elementos has developed a major land position in an area that is now being revealed as a significant belt of porphyry mineralisation. The area is prospective for copper, gold, and molybdenum targets. The project is located in the Sierra de la Huerta region and its northern extension, known as Sierra de Valle Fertil, which forms part of the Pampa Mountain chain. This geological belt is made up of a broad variety of Precambrian metamorphics and Palaeozoic intrusives and volcanics. In the area, small-scale historic mining operations for lead, silver, and gold have been supported. However, modern exploration methods and geological models have not been used to test the area's potential.

More recent exploration activities have included satellite imagery (ASTER) interpretation, stream sediment surveys, geological mapping, and rock chip sampling. The work has led to a number of new discoveries of large areas of alteration and mineralisation of both porphyry, and potentially some epithermal, styles. At present three main target zones have been identified at El Arriero, Alunita and Divisoria. The main features are ! Strongly anomalous rock-chip samples up to 4.6g/t gold and 0.6% copper, across all prospects. Copper staining is common on the surface rocks; ! Concentric zoned alteration from central potassic to phyllic, typical of porphyry systems; ! Argillic alteration overprint, typical of porphyries near the surface and porphyry-epithermal transition; ! A distinct molybdenum signature at El Arriero, possibly indicative of a slightly deeper, more eroded level of a similar system; and ! Large scale with El Arriero having hydrothermal alteration and mineralisation to an area of some 2000 metres by 600-800 metres. Follow-up field surveys in the general vicinity of the El Arriero have extended observed areas of hydrothermal alteration and mineralisation (elevated copper and gold values and some visible copper mineralisation) to an area of some 2000 metres by 600-800 metres. Mapping has confirmed a number alteration area and a survey conducted over surface samples has confirmed an oxidized porphyry copper system spectral signature. A new area of alteration and mineralisation named Alunita was discovered during the past year. In addition, further work confirmed the potential of the Divisoria prospect. These prospects are located approximately 6 kilometres and 2 kilometres respectively from the El Arriero porphyry. The mineralisation was discovered following up spectral anomalies from ASTER satellite images. New tenements have been applied for over other spectral anomalies. At Alunita, an alteration zone covering approximately 25 hectares was discovered with elevated gold values in both rock chip and stream sediment samples. The rock types are altered rhyolitic intrusives, tuffs and breccias (milled and flow breccias). A concentric pattern of alteration has been observed. Intense and extensive silicic alteration occurs, associated with high levels of sulphides. Due to the topography, it is also interpreted that this zone of alteration may extend under the overlying rocks. Alunita is interpreted as collapsed volcanic pipe where early porphyry alteration has been overprinted by argillic to advanced argillic alteration. Seven of 16 stream sediment samples returned assays in excess of 0.2 g/t gold with the three highest values being 4.09 g/t, 1.1 g/t and 0.8 g/t gold. Follow up rock chip sampling showed elevated values of gold and silver associated with fine grained sulphides.

At Divisoria, satellite imagery spectral anomalies indicating alunitekaolinite and iron oxide alteration are evident over a large area (1500 metres by >250 metres). The area also displays circular and arcuate structures, outcropping altered granitoids and pyritic, siliceous breccia with visible oxidized copper mineralization. Rock chip samples on the veins commonly returned elevated values for lead, zinc, mercury, copper and barium. The chemistry and alteration also suggest that this system may be the lower part of an epithermal system. Taking topography into account, this highlights the prospectivity of the higher elevation strike continuation to the east and this will be targeted with future exploration campaigns. These encouraging results all suggest that the three prospects appear to represent upper levels of a copper/gold/molybdenum porphyry style deposit. Each of the zones is considered to be a valid target for porphyry style mineralisation which are, by their nature, large targets (in the range of 500 to 1,000 million tonnes of mineralisation), but at low grade 0.3-1.0% Copper.7
7 This target is conceptual in nature as there has been insufficient exploration to define a Mineral Resource to a JORC standard and it is uncertain if further exploration will result in the determination of a Mineral Resource

Proposed exploration programme An intensive work program has been planned, incorporating mapping and sampling, and deep-penetration geophysics (MT and ground magnetics). A proposed exploratory reverse circulation drilling programme of the targets will follow, starting at El Arriero, in the second half of 2010.

Manantiales
Gold, silver Elementos has an option to acquire 100% of the Manantiales gold project in San Juan, Argentina. Location and access Manantiales is situated about 150 kilometres northwest of the city of San Juan. Access is by paved roads to the town of Callingasta, 30 kilometres southeast of Manantiales, and then a graded dirt track. The relatively low altitude is expected to allow year-round access. Tenements cover approximately 100km. Local infrastructure and logistics includes power, water and labour. Prospectivity and exploration target Manantiales is located within a low sulphidation epithermal district, which includes: Troy Resources nearby Casposo epithermal gold/silver development, Castao Nuevo (an abandoned gold mine site, 14 kilometres northeast) and the Castao Viejo (an abandoned lead/silver/zinc/gold mine) located some 20 kilometres to the north. The project area is adjoining, and immediately north of the Casposo development. Details of the Casposo project may be found on Troy Resources website (www.troy.com.au) or on the Company announcement section on the ASX website (www.asx.com.au).

Historical exploration activities at Manantiales have been limited to reconnaissance sampling and mapping, with a total of 202 rock chip and 87 bleg and stream sediment samples taken. Initial fieldwork and structural interpretation of Caspsoso has helped identify two main target areas the Manantial and La Puerta vein zones - both located in the southern part of the property. Sampling results at each vein have included: ! Manantial vein, interpreted as the northern extension along strike of the Julieta vein in the northwest of the Casposo project, where 22 samples with greater than 1g/t gold have been returned over a 1.5 km northwest trending structure including up to 9.01 g/t gold and 44.8g/t silver; ! La Puerta vein (located approximately 5.5 kilometres east of Manantial vein zone and parallel to the main Casposo vein corridor), has returned strongly anomalous gold and silver values including a peak of 13.92g/t gold and 30.3g/t silver. Gold mineralization in both target zones is related to banded quartz veins and vein-breccias.

Several similar style targets have been identified across the property, returning anomalous gold and silver values accompanied by arsenic and mercury credits, suggesting high level emplacement and potential to delineate additional gold/silver mineralized structures at depth. There is also the potential for base metals mineralisation on the northern side of the property. Rock chip samples have returned base metal values of >1% lead and zinc and > 200ppm silver, suggesting the potential for a deeper style of epithermal vein deposit in this area.The potential of the Manantiales project to contain an economic grade low-sulphidation deposit is supported by: ! Geological setting and mineralisation environment being similar to the nearby Casposo deposit, as evidenced through historical field work; ! Northwesterly trending structures that host Casposo appear to continue to the north into the Manantiales tenement; ! Good development of banded quartz veins and vein breccias that host most of the bonanza-grade fissure veins in the region; ! Significant grades of mineralisation reported from surface sampling; ! Potential to identify hidden or poorly exposed veins through a ground magnetic survey; and ! Potential for polymetallic mineralisation similar to the nearby Castano Viejo mine.

Historical activity Millenium has a number of historical copper mine workings and prospects that were operated around the turn of the last century. The Federal mine, on a trend to the east of the Millennium trend, exploited copper in bornite and chalcopyrite down to 135 metres and based on those historical workings, the exploration target is regarded by the Company as prospective for copper. Other workings along a shear lode structure were less successful for copper mining, but the lodes were noted to be rich in cobalt. Between 1964 and 1991, a number of companies explored the region, for both copper and cobalt mineralisation. Carpentaria Exploration Company Pty Ltd initially completion field work and percussion drilling in 1964 and outlined a number of positive copper results. Tasman Minerals N.L completed a five hole diamond drilling program in 1970. Holes FD01, FD03 and FD04 were drilled to test for extensions of the Federal Lode whilst FD02 (EOH 183.1 metres) and FD05 (EOH 121 metres) were drilled to test the thick lower grade cobalt-copper mineralisation. Encouraging results were reported, confirming the thickness of the cobalt mineralisation including a best intersection in FD02 (95.4-106.1 metres) 10.7 metres @ 2,333ppm cobalt and 2.02% copper.

Another three diamond holes were subsequently drilled in the northern parts of the mining leases. The table below outlines some of the results demonstrating the large thickness of mineralisation encountered within a quartzite unit.

There appears to be some continuity of a higher grade cobalt zone between the holes and this will need to be tested with further drilling. Most historical exploration (pre-1991) was aimed at delineating high grade copper mineralisation, with little emphasis on the cobalt, which was then in the range of US$5/lb to US$/10lb. With prices now above US$15/lb, cobalt is the principal target. Prospectivity and exploration target Historical exploration reports and drill sections have outlined a large mineralised envelope of cobalt between 40 and 88 metres thick, over a strike length of approximately 450 metres, open to the north, south and down dip. The envelope is formed around a number of significant high grade shear zones with lower grade intermediate zones within a quartzite unit. Previous metallurgical test work undertaken by Hydrometallurgical Research Laboratories demonstrated an ability to produce potentially saleable, high grade cobalt concentrate with high recoveries. This is because, unusually, the cobalt mineralisation is in the form of cobaltite and not as cobaltiferous pyrite. It was also possible to produce a separate copper concentrate.

The exploration objective is to delineate thick cobalt mineralisation suitable for open cut mining and processing, to produce saleable high value concentrates of cobalt and copper. Proposed exploration program A program of fieldwork and follow-up drilling is planned by the Company. All available data from the previous companies' mapping and drilling programmes will be sought, compiled and correlated to derive a clear focus from the early fieldwork. The initial field programme will have the objective of assessing the potential for additional mineralised areas parallel to the current known mineralised trend and also to investigate potential extensions along strike or down dip. Mapping, soil and outcrop geochemistry and ground geophysics will be involved. Existing targets indicated by past drilling and additional targets from the initial field programmes, will then be drill tested. Further metallurgical studies will be undertaken to optimise flotation performance.

PROSPECTUS 2009

now receiving increased attention with the application of new geological theory and exploration techniques and with the application of new mining and processing technology. In recent years, the area has been host to a number of new gold and polymetallic mineral discoveries and developments including: ! Hillgrove (antinomy and gold); ! Kingsgate and Stanthorpe (molybdenum); ! Mt Carrington (gold, silver and zinc); ! Taronga (tin); and ! Seven Hills and Timbarra (gold). The Company has three large project areas in a relatively unexplored, but in historically rich mineralised mining areas and will be targeting large, near surface gold and polymetallic ore bodies, utilising modern day exploration techniques.

Geology and mineralisation The old river channels had been protected from erosion and mining by thin basalt lavas that flowed down the river. The channel widths vary from 50 to 800 metres wide, with tributaries, and are up to 30 metres deep, averaging 10 metres. Traditionally, it was assumed that the gold was transported with the sediment from a nearby source, but recent work indicates it might have been chemically deposited. Prospectivity and exploration target The scale of the alluvial target is significant when based on the 15 kilometre strike length of unexploited channels and the quoted 100 metre average width. Including tributaries of the auriferous drainage system in estimations has the potential to increase the prospectivity of the exploration target . Proposed exploration program Future exploration by the Company will be focused on outlining extensions of the Sydney Flat Deep Lead system to the north to define the most continuous and prospective areas. A staged program is planned: ! Multi-Spectral data interpretation to locate the clays within exposed channels; ! Ground-penetrating radar to ascertain the profiles of the channels; ! Air-core and reverse-circulation drilling to recover the auriferous sands; and ! Testing >1m samples in a pilot plant to determine recoverable gold content. Modern mining technology Borehole-Pump Mining is an advance in drilling technology that extracts sediment from underground without expensive and environmentally damaging large scale pits. The technique takes advantage of the high water volumes and pressures and flowing sands that stopped the early miners. Gold can then be separated via traditional gravity techniques used in a number of mines in Australia (such as at St Ives in Western Australia), as well as overseas in the United States, Canada and the former Soviet Union. The advantage of this mining and processing method is its relative simplicity, low cost, low environmental impact, absence of chemical residues, low capital costs and low risk.

Sydney Flat
Gold Location and access This 256 km lease, located 5 kilometres south of Armidale in New South Wales, encompasses the entire Sydney Flat Goldfield, including the Uralla deep leads and the projections of the system under cover. A network of sealed roads covers the property and the New England Highway cuts through the eastern side. Excellent access is available to all infrastructure, local services, as well as the regional airport. Historical activity First gold production was reported in the 1850's in deep leads, old river channels, where they had been exposed by the erosion of the overlying basalts. At one point, the field reputably accounted for 2% of worldwide annual gold production for five years and based on the historical works the Company regards the exploration target as prospective for gold. About 5 kilometres of channel was worked, with a further 15 kilometres remaining under basalt cover. Historically, mining could not extend under the cover due to the high influx of water and flowing sands flashflooding the headings. Water pressure is a positive feature for a potential modern extraction method, borehole mining, that Elementos is conceptually considering. Previous attempts at exploring the area had limited success, mainly due to the limitations of traditional drilling techniques in running sands under high water pressures when borehole mining was not yet available.

Cathedral Rocks
Gold, base metals Location and access Cathedral Rocks, comprising a 256 km lease, is located 50 kilometres east of Armidale in northern NSW. Access is by paved roads and a network of farm tracks. Excellent support infrastructure and local services are available in Armidale.

Historical activity Cathedral Rocks is centred on the historic reef and alluvial tin fields of Yooroona, Lauder and School Gully. The tin fields form a cluster around a remnant of baked older rock on top of a granitic intrusion, the Round Mountain Adamellite. Approximately 3,800 kilograms of cassiterite were produced from these limited areas when they were worked during the 1900's and intermittently thereafter. Exploration between 1911 and 1955 encountered strong gold and base-metal anomalies. During the 1970's, CRA defined strong polymetallic anomalies in soils, trenches, and follow-up drilling on geophysical targets. Holes intercepted up to four zones of mineralisation up to 30 metres wide to 120 metres down hole, with strong tin, lead, zinc, copper and silver anomalies. Other holes intercepted mineralisation in altered granites or cut narrow or low-grade zones, interpreted as being peripheral to mineralisation. Mineral widths appear to increase at depth, forming a series of stacked lens. Crucially, CRA did not analyse for gold or molybdenum, now considered the most prospective targets. CRA regarded the deposit as being analogous to Anduramba in southeast Queensland. Prospectivity and exploration target Intrusive Related Gold Systems are a style of mineralisation where the minerals are deposited in halos in and around large granitic intrusions characterised by suites of pale felsic granites (Leucogranties). Gold, molybdenum and tin deposits are known to be related to intrusives. The Round Mountain Adamellite is at the southern end of a chain of I-type leucogranites, which hosts the Timbarra Gold Mine 200 kilometres north, as well as the Kingsgate and Seven Hills deposits in between. The Company is focusing on an area of hornfels (baked country rock) that is suspended in the roof of the Round Mountain Adamellite. Hornfels are brittle rocks that form fractures and open spaces easily when faulted, which can then be mineralised by the fluids generated from the intrusion. Drilling that has occurred has been in a localised area using outdated exploration models. No exploration has been undertaken for gold, or an intrusive related gold systems style deposit. New understanding of intrusive related gold systems shows that Cathedral Rocks has the required structure and lithologies indicative of excellent potential for large bulk tonnage mineralisation, which could be exploited by open cut mining methods. Intrusive related gold systems are potentially economically significant deposits. Proposed exploration program The Company's program builds on existing knowledge of the known base metal mineralisation as a potential geological model for gold deposits within the prospect. Exploration will include a detailed review of all available data, comprehensive sampling across the property for

the main deposit indicators, interpretation of multi-client aeromagnetic survey data, prospect-scale mapping and sampling and drilling of defined targets.

Dalmorton
Gold Location and access The Dalmorton and Little River gold fields are located approximately 55 kilometres west-southwest of Grafton in northern New South Wales, 60 kilometres east of Glen Innes on the northern tablelands. Both towns have local logistics and infrastructure and are connected by a sealed road. A graded road leads to Dalmorton township and a network of logging roads provides access to the project. Historical activity The Dalmorton and Little River Gold Fields were first discovered in the 1860's and worked intermittently until 1942. At the peak, 60 mines were working. Average gold grade was estimated at around 30g/t and total gold production approximately 70,000oz. The exploration license covers approximately 251 km, including a significant part of the Little River Gold Fields. During the 1980s and 90s, Little River Goldfields N.L (LRG) and BP Minerals Australia (BPMA) explored the district using reverse-circulation and diamond drilling with some success. However, when the gold price collapsed, exploration was withdrawn. Prospectivity and exploration target The project covers an area of deformed interbedded sediments and volcanics, intruded by the Kingsgate Adamellite, a source of metalrich fluids similar to that in Cathedral Rocks. Mineralisation occurs in disseminations and replacement of susceptible sediments and in open spaces created by movement on the Demon Thrust fault. Getty, LRG and BPMA defined gold resource at the Pine Creek lode potentially mineable by open cut methods. The mineralisation was open at depth and there are multiple targets that have yet to be followed-up. New understanding of these styles of deposits implies that there is the good potential for a large bulk tonnage mineralisation which could be exploited by open cut mining methods. Proposed exploration program A program of fieldwork and follow-up drilling is planned by the Company. All available data from previous companies' exploration will be compiled and correlated to achieve better focus from the early fieldwork. Field mapping and sampling across the known prospects are planned to build on the existing data to develop drill targets, with a view to defining a JORC-compliant Resource.

RISK FACTORS
Ongoing Financial Requirements The Company anticipates that its existing resources, together with the net proceeds of the Offer, will enable it to carry out its planned operations. However further funding, either debt, equity or a combination of both may be required for the ongoing development of the Company's projects. However, the Company's future financial requirements will depend upon various factors, including the performance of any mining operations, fluctuations in the commodities and currency markets and general business conditions. Should the Company need to raise additional funds, there can be no assurance that additional funds would be available on a timely basis, on favourable terms or at all, or that such funds, if raised, would be sufficient to enable the Company to continue to implement its business strategy. If adequate funds are not available, the Company's business will be materially and adversely affected. Government Policy and Legislative Changes Capacity to explore and mine, as well as industry profitability generally, can be affected by changes in government policy that are beyond the control of the Company. Changes in government regulations and policies may adversely affect the financial performance of the Company. The Company is not aware of any current or proposed material changes in relevant regulations or policy. Unforseen 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. Commodity Price Risk The Company's prospects and Share price will be influenced by the price obtained from time to time for the commodities targeted in its exploration programs. Commodity prices fluctuate and are affected by factors including the relationship between global supply and demand for minerals, forward selling by producers, the cost of production and general global economic conditions. Commodity prices are also affected by the outlook for inflation, interest rates, currency exchange rates and supply and demand issues. These factors may have an adverse affect on the Company's exploration and any subsequent development and production activities, as well as its ability to fund its future activities.

This section describes the areas the Company regards as potential risks associated with an investment in the Company. These risk factors may impact upon the future performance of the Company and while some of these risks may be mitigated through the use of contingency plans and safeguards, some of the risks are outside the control of the Company and cannot be mitigated. Investors should carefully consider the following risk factors in light of the whole of this Prospectus before applying for shares. There can be no guarantee that the Company will achieve its stated objectives and that any forward looking statements will eventuate. An investment in the Company should be considered speculative.

4.1 General Risks

There are numerous widespread risks associated with investing in any form of business and with investing in the share market generally. The exploration and development of natural resources is a speculative activity that involves a high degree of risk. Stock Market Risk Intending subscribers and prospective investors should be aware that there are risks associated with investments in companies listed on ASX. The price of the securities of a publicly traded company can be highly volatile and the value of the Company's securities can be expected to fluctuate depending on various factors, and therefore the price of the Company's securities may trade below or above the offer price. This can particularly be the case with exploration companies. Various factors that may affect the market price of the Company's securities include exploration results, changes in commodity prices, stock market sentiment, general economic conditions, changes in government policies, investor perceptions, movements in interest rates and stock markets and market conditions that affect the mining industry in Argentina and worldwide. General Economic Conditions 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 and other economic factors. The price of commodities and level of activity within the mining industry will also be of particular relevance to the Company. The Company's performance may be influenced by changes in inflation, interest rates, exchange rates, business cycles and taxation. Domestic Economic Conditions It is possible that a general downturn in the Australian economy will affect the performance of the Company and as such, the market value of securities in the Company. Alterations in government fiscal, monetary and regulatory policies, and changes in interest rates may affect the performance of the Company.

PROSPECTUS 2009

Foreign Exchange Since 1996, the AUD$/US$ has traded in a range from a low of around 48 cents to a high of close to 97 cents. The Argentinean peso has also fluctuated against the $US significantly. Fluctuating exchange rates have a direct effect on operating costs, cashflows and profits expressed in Australian dollars. The Company does not at present have any currency hedging in place. Environmental Risks The Company's projects are subject to Australian and Argentine laws and regulations in relation to environmental matters, which means there are potential liability and project risks. The Company proposed to comply with applicable laws and conduct its programs in a responsible manner with regard to the environment. However, the Company may be: ! subject to potential liability related to the mining and extraction of gold and other metals by the Company; or ! prevented from mining due to the environmental impact of its activities on an area. Any such developments might impact adversely on the Company's Share price.

availability of the necessary technical equipment and appropriately skilled and experienced technicians, adverse changes in government policy or legislation, access to the required level of exploration funding and costs of access to its tenements. Resource Targets The geological characteristics of the Company's mineral targets at the various locations covered by the Tenements appear to have similar characteristics to locations where established exploration and mining operations have been or are being successfully conducted. However, 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. Operating in Argentina Some of the Company's key assets are its contractual interests in mining tenements in Argentina. Changes in Argentine laws and regulations will have a significant effect on the Company's exploration operations, especially changes to environmental, mining, grant or renewal of concessions, royalties and taxation. The political conditions under which the Company currently operates are stable compared to many areas of the world, but arguably not as stable as Australia. Potential risk to the Company's activities may occur if there are changes to the political, legal and fiscal systems which might affect the ownership and operation of the Company's interests in Argentina. This may also include changes in exchange control regulations, expropriation of mining rights, changes in government and in legislative and regulatory regimes. Mine Development Risk Possible future development of mining operations at any of the Company's projects is also subject to numerous risks. The Company's operations may be delayed or prevented as a result of weather conditions, mechanical difficulties, shortage of technical expertise or equipment. There may be difficulties with obtaining government and/or third party approvals, operational difficulties encountered with extraction and production activities, unexpected shortages or increase in the price of consumables, plant and equipment, cost overruns or lack of access to required levels of funding. If the Company commences production, its operations may be curtailed or disrupted by a number of risks beyond its control such as environmental hazards, industrial accidents and disputes, technical failures, unusual or unexpected geological conditions, fires, explosions, adverse weather conditions and other accidents.

4.2 Specific Risks

Investors should be aware that an investment in the Company involves many risks which may be higher than the risks associated with an investment in other companies. The specific risk factors that should be taken into account in assessing the Company's activities and investment in the Company include but are not limited to the following: Exploration and Operational Risks By its nature, the business of exploration is a speculative endeavour and involves significant risks. The Company's prosperity depends on the successful exploration and/or acquisition of resources or reserves, competent operational management and efficient financial management. Further, the nature of the business of exploration can sometimes result in industrial accidents and other incidents beyond the control of the Company. There can be no assurances that the proposed project exploration programs described in this Prospectus, or any other projects or tenements that the Company may acquire in the future, will result in the discovery of a significant ore deposit. Even if a significant ore deposit is identified, there can be no guarantee that it can be economically exploited. Ultimate success depends on the discovery and delineation of economically recoverable mineral resources, establishment of an efficient exploratory operation, obtaining the necessary titles and access and government and other regulatory approvals. The exploration 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

PROSPECTUS 2009

29

The Company's operations may be adversely affected by higher than anticipated ore treatment costs, worse than anticipated metallurgical conditions, fluctuations in base and precious metal prices or lack of availability of smelter capacity. No assurance can be given that the Company will achieve commercial viability through development of any of its tenements or projects. Contract Risk The Company's interests in the Tenements are contractual only. Accordingly there is a risk that the counterparty may be unwilling or unable to comply with the terms of the Material Contracts. There are no certainties that the Company will be able to obtain adequate damages or specific performance in the case of such default and this may have a material impact on the value of the Company and its shares. Tenement Interests Although they are at an advanced stage of the application process, a number of the Tenements are yet to be formally registered. While the Company is not aware of any impediments, there is no certainty that they, or renewals of them, will be granted or that they will be granted on the same terms. Hazards The Company, as an active participant in exploration programmes, may become subject to liability for hazards that cannot be insured against or against which it may elect not to be insured because of high premium costs. The Company may incur a liability to third parties (in excess of its insurance cover) arising from pollution, environmental damage or other damage, injury or death. Contractors The Company is dependant 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's operations. Reliance on Key Personnel In formulating its exploration programs, the Company relies to a significant extent upon the experience and expertise of the Executive 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 and will be 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 Prospectus. 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 expenditure requirements identified in Sections and of this Prospectus will, unless an exemption is granted, make one or more of the Tenements subject to possible forfeiture. Tenements have previously been renewed in Argentina notwithstanding full expenditure requirements not having been met, on the basis that further expenditure will occur. While it is anticipated that this practice will continue, a change of practice may result in additional expenditure being required on specific tenements before renewal. The total required cannot be determined in advance. In this event, the Company would review its expenditure commitments on each affected tenement and determine whether to relinquish affected tenements or redirect expenditure to maintain them. Dividends Policy The Company has not declared a dividend for the year ending 30 June 2009 and does not intend to pay dividends for the year ending 30 June 2010. Any future determination as to the payment of dividends by the Company will be at the discretion of the Directors and will depend on the availability of profit, the operating results and financial condition of the Company, future capital requirements, general business and other factors considered relevant by the Directors. No assurances in relation to the payment of dividends, or the franking credits attached to such dividends, can be given. Maps and Diagrams The Company has commissioned and produced diagrams and maps in this Prospectus to help identify and describe the Tenements. Investors should note that these maps and diagrams have not been independently reviewed and therefore the Company cannot guarantee the accuracy of the location of the Tenement boundaries exhibited in the maps and diagrams. Maps and diagrams identifying drilling should not be taken as a statement of the Company's work programme. Maps and diagrams should be taken as illustrative only of the Directors' intentions in relation to potential areas for exploration and drilling, which may change.

PROSPECTUS 2009

Resource Estimations Resource estimates are inherently imprecise, as they are expressions of judgement at a particular time based on available information, interpreted using experience and resource modelling techniques. The estimates, while made by qualified professionals, may change over time as other information becomes available which differs from information known or predicted by past drilling, sampling and geological interpretation. Estimates remain subject to change which may adversely affect the Company's operations, performance or the commercial viability or its projects. Native Title and Aboriginal 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 or obtain exploration or mining licences. In applying for certain licences, the Company must observe the provisions of Native Title legislation. In carrying out exploration and/or mining operations it must observe Native Title legislation (where applicable) and Aboriginal Heritage legislation which protects Aboriginal sites and objects of significance, which may impair the Company's activities, cause delays or increase its costs. 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 tenements or their renewal will be approved. The Company's tenements are subject to numerous Queensland, New South Wales and Argentine legislative conditions. The renewal of the term of a granted tenement is also subject to discretion of the relevant Minister or authority. 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. Joint Ventures The Company may wish to develop its projects or future projects through joint venture arrangements. Any joint ventures entered into by, or interests in joint ventures assigned to, the Company could be affected by the failure or default of any of the joint venture participants.

INTRODUCTION
Introduction Gold and base metal targets are the priority focus of Elementos Limited, which has interests in a portfolio of six exploration properties in three mineral provinces in two countries (Argentina and Australia). Tenements are located in world class and emerging mineral provinces.

In Queensland, Elementos Mining Leases are prospective for shearhosted deposits with high value cobalt with secondary copper and gold credits.

The New England Fold Belt, emerging as a significant mineral

province New technology and geological ideas are successfully reviving this long dormant historical gold and base-metal province located in northern New South Wales, Australia. Tenements are prospective for: ! Intrusion Related Gold Systems (IRGS), ! Deep-Lead Gold Systems, and ! Vetiform and Stratiform Gold. Three large project areas are being targeted by Elementos in this relatively unexplored emerging minerals province. Modern exploration techniques, not well utilised in the province, will be used to target large, open cut mineable, gold and polymetallic orebodies.

San Juan, A world-class gold copper mining province

San Juan, a province in relatively under-explored Argentina, has been chosen for its abundance and variety of mineralization and recent history of successfully developing world class, large scale, low cost copper and gold mines. Opportunities Elementos is exploring in San Juan are:-

! Copper, gold, molybdenum silver porphyry style

mineralisation, high sulphidation epithermal gold-copper; and

! low-sulphidation epithermal gold-silver and polymetallic

mineralisation.

The Mt Isa Inlier, one of the most prolific provinces for basemetals and copper gold In northwest Queensland, Australia, Elementos is working in the massively endowed Mt Isa-Cloncurry district. Excellent infrastructure, well understood geology and several recent world-class discoveries substantiate its continued potential.

ARGENTINA
The focus in Argentina is due to its attractive mineral endowment in the commodities sought and the relatively under-explored nature of the country. Copper and gold mineralisation occurs predominantly in the southern Andean belt that extends over 1,000 km through northwestern Argentina and the Santa Cruz gold belt in southern Patagonia. The gold and base metal mineral potential of Argentina can be divided into 4 main regions: ! The Puna of the northern Andes plataeu for copper, gold, silver, tin, lead and zinc. ! The centre for gold, porphyry copper, nickel-platinum and manganese. ! The central Cordillera and Pre-cordillera for epithermal and porphyry copper and gold. ! Patagonia, for epithermal gold and silver deposits and polymetallic lead-zinc deposits. The high Andean plateau in the North hosts significant concentrations of silver as well lead and zinc. To the west, the Valle del Cura constitutes one of the most important gold and silver districts in the world (with resources of over 40 million ounces (Moz) gold and 1,000 Moz silver). It includes two mega gold and silver deposits namely Veladero and Pascua Lama. Four epithermal silver-gold vein deposits are currently producing in the emerging Patagonian belt, with several more advancing. Several large porphyries have been discovered in the centre, including Bajo de la Alumbrera.

San Juan Province

(Commodities - gold, copper, silver) San Juan Province, covering a significant portion of the Andean mountains, hosts some of the larger gold.-copper deposits in the world. Exploration successes from the mid 90's to date, indicate significant potential to find new, world-class deposits. Major economic deposits cover a wide range of mineralization styles and environments including porphyry copper, porphyry copper-gold, high sulphidation epithermal gold, low sulphidation gold-silver and sediment hosted gold. These include: Pascua-Lama, Veladero, Gualcamayo, El Pachon and Los Azules. The mineralisation in the Andes of Argentina and Chile is related to a long history of plate subduction and associated volcano-plutonic arcs that were generated in a compressive margin from the Mesozoic to the Miocene-Pliocene. The two main episodes of eastward subduction of oceanic lithosphere (Nazca plate) under continental lithosphere (South-American plate) occurred during: a) the Late Paleozoic and; b) the Late Mesozoic through Cainozoic. Both episodes have generated mineralised deposits along the Andes Mountains. The second subduction was at a low angle compared to elsewhere worldwide, giving rise to volcanoplutonic arcs of calc-alkaline composition which migrated eastwards from the coast of Chile through the Andes mountains, correlating to the area underplated by flat-slab subduction between 27 S and 33 S. The second volcanic arc was the most important being responsible for all the major gold-copper bearing deposits in the Andes, including those located in El Indio and Maricunga belts. The migrating volcanic arc entered Argentina about 18 million years ago and continues moving eastwards into central Argentina, see , providing magmatic sources both in the Andes and in areas far inland, e.g., Bajo de La Alumbrera porphyry copper-gold deposit, Gualcamayo gold deposit, the Famatina gold district and the volcanic fields in central Argentina.

This entire area is highly prospective for Copper-gold porphyries and related epithermal systems, but the interior of Argentina has been relatively ignored by explorationists. Since Argentina opened up to mining in the early nineties, most exploration has been focused on the Andes Mountains, mirroring the better known mineralisation in Chile. The interior of western Argentina has seen much less activity, even though, as can be seen in , it is still highly prospective and several major deposits have already been identified there, such as Bajo de la Alumbrera, Famatina, and Gualcamayo, which are clearly related to the eastwards migrating volcanic arc. The main styles of mineralisation in San Juan are all broadly related, as shown in . Porphyries are near surface (500-2500m) intrusions with halos of sulphidic mineralisation in a cap or halo in and around the top of the intrusion. The system has a moderate to strong zoned alteration with typical potassic alteration in the centre. The mineralisation generally forms as veinlets and disseminations. The Epithermal styles form near or sub-surface, mainly from the fluids escaping from the porphyries and local fluids which form convection cells through the rock. High sulphidation deposits form at higher temperatures and may form explosive breccias which are then mineralised or as disseminations associated with strong district scale alteration halos. Low sulphidation epithermals are cooler temperature and typically form veins, stockworks or breccias of quartz and/or calcite with sulphides. These typically have limited and weaker alteration signatures.

San Juan Projects

Santo Domingo Project, San Juan Province
(Commodities: gold, copper, molybdenum) Potential exists for Elementos to locate new gold/copper/molybdenum systems within the Santo Domingo property. Exploration targets suggested by the widespread mineralisation could be quite large, in the order of 100 -1000 Mt across three discrete prospective zones - El Arriero, Alunita and Divisoria. The project area comprises approximately 215km2 and is located in the east of San Juan province approximately 20 kilometres from a sealed highway and approximately 1 hours drive from the provincial capital, San Juan (population 800,000) with grid power and on the railway. Unlike many other porphyry copper projects in South America, Santo Domingo is at low altitude, 1,250 metres and well supported by infrastructure and labour. This will reduce the development hurdles should potentially economic mineralisation be discovered. Elementos' Santo Domingo property covers a large area in which goldcopper +/- molybdenum porphyry-style mineralization has been detected in three discrete zones hosted in, or close to, dacitic porphyries stocks and sill-dyke complexes that intrude metamorphic, acid tuffs and granitic rocks. Gold, copper and molybdenum mineralization at these prospects is found in quartz stockworks and as disseminations and veinlets in both, porphyry and wall rock. The most abundant sulphide is pyrite, accompanied by chalcopyrite, sphalerite, molybdenite and galena. Silver sulfosalts (tennantite tetrahedrite) has been also observed in quartz veins and veinlets placed at shallow levels of the El Arriero and Divisoria prospects. A preliminary conceptual modelling suggests that:

High Sulphidation Au+Ag+Cu stratovolcano (eroded)

Low Sulphidation Au+Ag

Epithermal Environment

Porphyry Environment

! The Alunita prospect is a shallowly eroded porphyry copper-gold system where early potassic and phyllic alteration phases underwent overprinting by advanced argillic assemblages. ! The El Arriero and Divisoria prospects show a generally similar geological setting characterized by similar rock types and alteration as well as molybdenum anomalies that suggests a slightly deeper level of exposure compared to Alunita.

The southern portion of Sierra de La Huerta is characterized by a significant number of historic small scale mining operations, worked since mid 19th century up to the 1980s. These include the Marayes (Cerro Blanco district formed by including Caledonia and Albion Au, Pb, Zn, Ag deposits); Yanzi mine (Pb, Ag, Zn); and the El Morado gold district. Few, if any, have been explored with modern techniques as the area has only received very limited regional exploration by international mining companies. Limited sampling and mapping over the southern portion of Sierra de La Huerta means that the area is still very poorly understood compared with the better known mineralisation in the high Andes. Increased regional understanding of the mineralising processes of the region, which is within the limits of strong magmatism over the subducted slab extending beneath the Andes, has considerably raised the prospectivity of the region. regional understanding of the mineralising processes of the region, which is within the limits of strong magmatism over the subducted slab extending beneath the Andes, has considerably raised the prospectivity of the region.

Previous Work
Previous field work by Orocobre, the original property owner, consisted of horse supported expeditions, which have conducted reconnaissance stream sampling, follow up stream outcrop and talus sampling, and reconnaissance scale interpretive mapping. This work successfully identified the three main areas of interest nominated (Alunita, El Arriero and Divisoria). Followup programs have concentrated on El Arriero and Alunita. Limited work has been carried out on Divisoria, the most recent and most remote discovery. A detailed ASTER satellite imagery interpretation was conducted, which helped to identify areas of zoned alterations, the most important of which have been followed up in the field program. Reconnaissance sampling produced gold values up to 4.09 g/t at Alunita; 1.3 g/t at El Arriero and 4.64 g/t Au and 0.56 % Cu at Divisoria. Anomalous copper and molybdenum values are widespread, ranging between 0.1% Cu to 0.36 % Cu and a peak of 964 ppm Mo. A possible structural interpretation suggests that the porphyries are hosted in corridors sub parallel and adjacent to a major northwesttrending crustal discontinuity (related to the Chucuma Megafracture) where cross structures are present to create suitable mineralisation traps.

In September and October 2009, Elementos carried out a spectral analysis of hand-samples specially collected from Alunita and El Arriero prospects. The aim was to test and support the of the geologists' observations and to provide qualified data on the grade and distribution of alteration as part of a series of planned geo-technical analysis by the company. The minerals detected at the Santo Domingo project sample set include jarosite, illite, a small zone of muscovite, hornblende, iron chlorite (2338- 2348nm), gypsum, goethite, hematite and bronchantite. Pure examples of these minerals from the deposit were compared to the Specmin data base. El Arriero Zone

Prospectivity
El Arriero Prospect El Arriero shows up as a distinctive colour anomaly elongated 2,700m northeast and 800m to 1,000m wide. The interpretative map has delineated a group of dacitic porphyry stocks intruding Mid-Ordovician metamorphic rocks, described as amphibolites, with tonalites, diorites and granites. Hydrothermal alteration displays a zoned pattern characterized by potassic alteration in the center grading to phyllic/argillic and propylitic haloes outwards. Quartz stockworks and pervasive silica, is present.
AREA OF INTENSELY ALTERED OUTCROPPING PORPHYRY

Generally speaking the spectral signatures coincide with interpreted alterations seen in the El Arriero zone. The alteration seen in the samples may reflect overprinting of assemblages. The presence of chlorites and amphiboles may reflect a potassic stage and that of illite an intermediate argillic phase. The presence of gypsum on weathered surfaces and the iron oxides may show a supergene stage present. Alunita Zone Given the few samples measured for this zone we may not have seen representative examples of the inferred alteration. There is an argillic component to the samples but not advanced argillic. These samples may be indicating a supergene environment but there are no 'direct' indicators for definitive conclusions. The presence of iron oxides and gypsum on weathered surfaces and the strong barium in ICP assays supports the idea of an acid sulfate alteration over the upper part of Alunita. This is common in many deposits from when the system is cooling and collapsing, causing a supergene overprint in the upper portions of the system. SWIR Conclusions It is concluded that the minerals observed in this sample set are compatible with and may relate to an oxidized porphyry copper system. There is considerable hematite, goethite and jarosite; illite, possibly after muscovite; chlorite possibly degraded after a mafic and there is hornblende/uralite, which is an associate of mineralized zones in porphyry molybdenum systems. Gypsum and anhydrite can also be found in ore zones of porphyries. The alteration seen in the samples may reflect overprinting of earlier porphyry assemblages by argillic alteration.

Figure 6: Aerial view of the extent of alteration at El Arriero

Gold, copper and molybdenum mineralization has been identified in quartz stockwork and as disseminations and veinlets in both porphyry and wall rock (up to 1.3 g/t gold, 0.054 % copper, 0.05 % zinc and 17 g/t silver accompanied by anomalous arsenic). Some native gold occurs in quartz veinlets encountered in polished sections. Fourteen widespread samples have returned anomalies higher than 200 ppm copper with two peaks of 0.36 % copper and 0.16 % copper, both associated with chalcopyrite and copper oxides. Eleven samples returned molybdenum anomalies higher than 10 ppm including a peak of 122 ppm molybdenum. Zinc anomalies are restricted to ten samples ranging between 212 to 662 ppm zinc and a peak of 0.36 % zinc.

Proposed Work Program

A proposed exploration program at El Arriero, Alunita and Divisoria prospects is detailed as follows: ! Detailed rock, alteration and mineralization outcrop mapping (which includes the ongoing SWIR PIMA survey) at 1: 2,500 scale. Alteration mapping is intended to differentiate when possible prograding porphyry alteration assemblages and retrograde overprinting argillic to advanced argillic alteration assemblages.

Alteration in outcrop in Alunita

The alunite ASTER spectral signature in conjunction with barium and phosphorous anomalies (with highs of 2,000 ppm and 1,570 ppm respectively) support the acid sulphate signature. The upper alunite area extends over a 450m by 400m area and is associated with most of the metal anomalies including a gold high of 4.09 g/t, returned by a stream sediment sample. In addition, nine rock samples, four stream sediments and one soil sample have returned gold values ranging between 0.24 to 0.78 g/t. A number of copper, zinc and lead anomalies are also present. Hydrothermal alteration zones and assemblages at the El Arriero and Alunite prospects suggest overlapping epithermal mineralization. Lower copper and the lack of molybdenum anomalies combined with the hydrothermal alteration mineralogy suggest the Alunite prospect is at a higher level of exposure than El Arriero. Divisoria Prospect Work completed at Divisoria has included reconnaissance stream sediment and rock chip sampling. No systematic or interpretative mapping has yet been carried out. Sampled rock types are dacitic porphyries with argillic alteration intruding metamorphic rock suggesting strong similarities with El Arriero and Alunite. Reconnaissance sampling over an area of 500m by 500m located three interesting rock chip samples for follow up work: 0.34 ppm Au, 736 ppm Cu; 0.54 ppm Au, 417 ppm Cu; and 4.64 ppm Au, 0.56% Cu (highest gold sample taken in the property)

Budget
The exploration budget is heavily committed to RC drilling with $150,000 spent in the first year and $100,000 in the second year. The drilling is supported by geological mapping, geochemical sampling and ground geophysics and includes $30,000 for earthworks related to improving access. Expenditure for Year 1 is $431,353 and for Year 2 is $887,824

The Manantiales property of 97 sq. km is located some 160 km or 2 hours west of San Juan. Nearest towns are Villa Corral and Calingasta, located 16 km to the east and 32 km to the southeast respectively. Elevation ranges approximately between 2,600 to 3,500 meters ASL. Access is by sealed and then graded roads as far as the limits of the tenement and then by foot, horses or 4WD. The area has all year round access and Calingasta town has facilities such as power, hospital, water, hotel and fuel. Neighbouring Properties: Troy Resources Manantiales lies immediately north of the Casposo Au-Ag low sulphidation development project hosted in bonanza grade fissure veins.

Manantiales is enclosed within a northwest structural corridor which controls a number of epithermal quartz fissure and sheeted vein and alteration zones, hosted by felsic volcanics of the Permian Triassic Choiyoi group. Some of the alteration/mineralisation zones are contained in the intersection of NW and NE structures and in subcircular structural features within the NW corridor

There is also the potential for base metal mineralisation in the northern sector of the property. Rock chip samples have returned base metal values of >1% lead and zinc and > 200ppm silver suggesting the potential for a deeper style of epithermal vein deposit in this area. The exploration objective is to first delineate the extension of Manantiales and La Puerta veins along strike and to depth focusing on the definition of potential ore-shoots contained in intersections of NW and NE structures. The style and volume of mineralization is expected to be similar to Troy Resources' Casposo development project, which is located immediately adjacent, south of Manantiales. Troy's Casposo is an epithermal Low Sulphidation goldsilver deposit associated with banded quartz-chalcedony veins along a 10 km northwest-trending regional structural corridor where mineralization occurs in both rhyolite breccias and underlying andesite of the PermianTriassic Choiyoi Group.

Geology and mineralisation

The main mineralization present on the Manantiales property are quartz fissure, sheeted veins and brecciated veins, with Au mineralization accompanied by Ag credits. These are hosted by Permian Triassic rhyolites and underlying andesite volcanic. Mineralization in the region is related to calc-alkaline volcanomagmatic arcs placed in convergent margins. Fieldwork has helped identify two main target areas the Manantial and La Puerta vein zones, both located in the southern part of the property (see figure). The Manantial vein is interpreted as the northern extension along strike of the Julieta vein target in the Casposo project. At the Manantial target, 22 samples with greater than 1g/t gold have been returned over a 1.5 km northwest trending structure including up to 9.01 g/t gold and 44.8g/t silver. Rock chip sampling at La Puerta vein (located about 5.5 km to the east of Manantial vein) has returned strongly anomalous gold and silver values including a peak of 13.92g/t gold and 30.3g/t silver. Gold mineralization in both targets is related to banded quartz veins and vein-breccias.

Alteration Zone in Manantiales

The main vein deposits at Troy's Casposo project are: Kamila, Mercado, Kamila Southeast (a blind extension of the Kamila vein discovered by drilling) and a series of easttrending veins that splay off these major sets to the east and northeast. The Casposo vein district identified to date covers an area of about 100 sq km.

Extensive Vein Zone in Manatiales

Manantiales is placed at shallower level than Casposo , based on surface mineralization Au:Ag ratios at the Manantial and La Puerta areas, considered in conjunction with the low sulphide content and the lack of significant lead and zinc mineralization. A gold - silver rich zone preserved from erosion is likely above the precious and base metals level. A similar pattern could also be inferred at several more targets of similar mineralization style that have been identified across the Manantiales property, Anomalous gold and silver values have been returned, accompanied by arsenic and mercury credits. This also suggests high level emplacement and the potential to delineate additional gold silver mineralised structures at depth.

Previous Work
Historical exploration activities at Manantiales have been limited to reconnaissance sampling and mapping with a total of 202 rock chip and 87 bleg and stream sediment samples being. Three companies (BMG, Intrepid and Marifil) have previously worked on and reviewed this project, limiting activity to stream sediment sampling with follow up rock sampling and localised reconnaissance level mapping. Results appear in the Geology and Mineralisation section.

PROSPECTUS 2009

Prospectivity
The potential of the Manantiales project to contain an economic grade low-sulphidation deposit is supported by: ! Geological setting and mineralization environment similar to the nearby Casposo deposit. The northwesterly trending structures that host the Casposo mineralisation appear to continue to the north into the Manantiales tenement. Crucially, much of the known mineralisation on surface in Manantiales occurs roughly along strike from known mineralisation in Casposo. ! A highly prospective structural setting with the potential to contain ore shoots placed in the intersection of NW and NE structures. ! Good development of banded quartz veins and vein breccias in both rhyolite and andesite volcanics. The andesite volcanic rock units host most of the bonanza-grade fissure veins in the region. ! Significant gold grades returned by the limited surface sampling conducted by previous explorers to date, distributed in an area with large enough dimension to contain a deposit with a volume similar to Troy Resources' Casposo (as a comparison, the Kamila vein has 650m strike length and a 260m vertical extent, with thicknesses varying between 12m near surface to less than 4m near the centre); ! Potential exists to find hidden or poorly exposed veins through the completion of a ground magnetic survey and structural mapping, possibly combined with IP dipole-dipole surveys, in order to extend the known targets or to define new ones. As can be seen in Casposo and other low sulphidation gold-silver systems around the world, the orebodies are often offset from each other and may be poorly exposed. ! There is also the potential to find polymetallic low-sulphidation mineralisation similar to the historic Castao Viejo mine as indicated by the strong zinc, lead and silver anomalies returned by sampling in the northern sector of the property.

Proposed Work Program

The proposed work program is detailed as follows: ! Completion of EIA for exploration, including drilling; ! Building of access roads to the main mineralization zones; ! Detailed mapping (1:10,000 at prospect scale and 1:1,000 to 1: 500 for veins) firstly focused on the two main mineralised zones outlined to date, the Manantial vein and La Puerta vein to then continue to other target areas; ! Geochemical sampling (including saw blade channel sampling) at the Manantial and La Puerta vein in order to evaluate the extensions of the known mineralization to then continue to other new target areas; ! Textural mapping of the quartz veins in order to identify the epithermal levels exposed at Manantiales and distinguish between mineralised and unmineralised phases; ! A PIMA survey over alteration zones focused on the detection and outlining of kaolinite group of minerals (kaolinite dickite halloysite) which potentially accompany low sulphidation mineralization at shallow levels; ! Integrated interpretation of quartz vein textures, geochemistry, hydrothermal alteration and host rock aiming to identify different epithermal levels exposed in the different targets at Manantiales; ! A detailed ground magnetic survey aimed to delineate extensions along strike of known mineralised veins as well as to locate hidden veins or silicified structures; ! Follow-up IP geophysics, if necessary, to define the structures location and orientations; and ! Exploratory drilling in Manantiales and La Puerta vein and then to other exploration targets.

Budget
The proposed two- years work program is $580,149 in year 1, and $393,224 in year 2. The exploration budget is heavily committed to drilling, with $245,000 spent in the first year and $145,000 in the second year. Exploration is supported by geological mapping, geochemical sampling geophysics (multispectral imaging, IP and magnetics). Provision of $20,000 has been made for earthworks related to improving access. The work is planned to test the mineralisation sufficiently to define a JORC Resource.

AUSTRALIA
Within Australia, Elementos has focused on the New England Fold Belt in northern New South Wales and the Mt Isa Inlier of North West Queensland. Both areas have a remarkable history of mineral development, good infrastructure and access to mature technical expertise.

Mt Isa-Inlier
Elementos has an option to acquire five mining leases in the worldclass Mount Isa district of North West Queensland. The Mt Isa Cloncurry district is one of the most significant mineral provinces in the world, hosting such major deposits as: ! Base-Metal: Mt Isa, Hilton, George Fisher, Cannington, Century and Dugald River ! Copper Gold: Ernest Henry, Osborne, Starra, Mt Elliot and Eloise.

New England Fold Belt

The New England Fold Belt, in northern New South Wales, is a region of diverse mineralisation styles, was in the past a world class producer of metallic and non-metallic minerals - from sapphire to gold, antimony and tin in hard rock primary deposits, and other large alluvial style deposits such as deep leads. For decades, the region has been largely overlooked as a strategic exploration target. Now technological advances in remote sensing for exploration and remote mining and Bore Hole Mining techniques, prime the region for the next generation of explorers to discover the wealth that has lain dormant since the first discoveries. New England is now considered an emerging minerals province, based on new opportunities being derived from technological innovation and fresh approaches to previously insurmountable old mining problems. Examples of present exploration and production being undertaken in the region by a range of operators include: ! Gold and antimony at Hillgrove, a revitalized historic field; ! Intrusive Related Deposits and affiliated minerals model is being utilised to great success in the exploration of molybdenum deposits in the Kingsgate Pipe and the Deepwater base metals project; ! Taronga tin deposit near Emmaville (considered a world class hard rock tin mine) is again being explored after being overlooked for over 20 years; ! Timbarra Gold Mine is an example of the style of deposit that lead the way in development of the Intrusive Related Gold Systems (IRGS) model that is being applied now to intrusives not only in the New England Fold Belt but to other similar intrusive domains world wide. Explorers are again beginning to come to the New England Fold Belt as the next source of large mineralizing systems. The three tenements on offer give exposure to the 3 dominant styles of mineralisation available in the New England Fold Belt: ! Cathedral Rocks EL 7066, IRGS model, unexplored and untested for gold in CRA drilling; ! Dalmorton EL 7067, Large historic goldfield, with potential resource in place awaiting refurbishment; and ! Sydney Flat EL 6918, Deep leads with up to 15 km of unexplored Deep Lead channel.

Line of old workings with remains of a sluice, Millennium

Despite the number of established mines in the area, recent discoveries have occurred, most notably Merlin (Ivanhoe) Rhenium Molybdenum; and Rocklands/Las Minerale (Cudeco) Copper Gold Cobalt The leases cover a 1.5km long trend of historic copper mines, including the Federal. Historically, most exploration has focused on this style of target, or on small to moderate volumes of low-grade copper in a shear structure. Elementos' strategy is to explore the high-value cobalt resource with a view to developing a moderate size, open cut and treatment facility for high value cobalt and also consider toll treating ore through another plant in the region.

EL 7066 Cathedral Rocks

(Commodity: gold) EL 7066 is centered on a cluster of historic tin fields; the Yoorondah, School Gully and Lauder fields, as well as Yooroonah prospect of CRA containing anomalous molybdenum, copper, lead and zinc values. The area has been largely overlooked for its gold potential due to the lack of understanding of the application of the relatively new Intrusion-Related Gold Systems (IRGS) model to the area. The Cathedral Rocks Project is located 50 kms east of Armidale in northern NSW and is accessible by the all weather bitumen Waterfall Way drive which runs centrally through the tenement. Access to the prospects within the tenement is by all weather gravel surfaced roads and farm tracks. Infrastructure in the area includes a regional airport at Armidale and a freight and passenger rail service to Armidale and Uralla. Acommodation available in Armidale The geology of the EL lends support to the view that the IRGS model, potentially large gold and multi-element deposits, applies to this project. deposits. Such systems are characterised by a range of mineralisation styles such as gold bearing stockworks, breccias and

disseminated deposits, and base-metal veins, which are evident within the tenement. The known mineralised deposits and their relationship to the adamellite and surrounding hornfels aureole has been overlooked until now. The goal of the program proposed for this EL is to understand these relationships and to utilise this knowledge in the discovery process.

Geology and Mineralisation

The EL is located on the southeast margin of the New England Fold Belt. The Permian structure of the Belt is for the most part poorly understood. However the Round Mountain Intrusive body within the EL, lies in an intersection zone of the Demon Fault and the Bellingen Fault System and part of a deeply rooted accretionary complex. The EL is at the southern range of the I-type leucogranite belt that hosts other IRGS deposits such as the Timbarra Mine, (hosted by the Stanthorpe Adamellite). It covers the southern contact zone of the Round Mt Adamellite and its hornfelsed roof pendant structure. This will be explored to locate the source of the alluvial tin in the School Gully deposit. The molybdenum occurs as disseminations and concentrations in quartz veins stockworks at the contact zone of the Round Mt Adamellite with the hornfels.

IRGS deposits are economically important gold deposits. General characteristics include: ! A metal assemblage variably combining Au with Bi, Te, W, Mo, As, Sb and an ore mineral assemblage typically comprising arsenopyrite, pyrrhotite and pyrite and lacking magnetite or hematite; and ! Metal zoning centred on a central mineralising intrusion. ! A range of mineralisation styles, both proximal and distal to the mineralising intrusion, including: sheeted veins and stockworks, breccias, disseminated deposits, skarns, replacements; and distal base metal bearing fissure veins. The target in the project area is analoguous to a Mole Granite roof pendant style deposit with disseminated, stockwork and vein style molybdenum, tin and copper. The Mole Granite is a large granitic pluton associated with numerous hydrothermal ore deposits where cooling and crystallization resulted in changing fluid compositions that, in turn, controlled the major variation in ore-metal ratios in the ore deposits (notably Sn/W). This magmatic-to-hydrothermal transition is one of the dominant controls on the metal content of high-temperature hydrothermal ore deposits. The Round Mountain Adamellite is shown to be a multi-stage intrusion, with the stages being defined mostly through grain size, giving it strong similarities to a Timbarra-style gold and molybdenum dominated porphyry. Timbarra itself is a sulphide poor disseminated gold deposit within the roof of a microgranite body, where fine gold is localised in alteration halos and aplite dyke/sill traps where hydro thermal auriferous fluids gather. The Round Mountain Adamellite has been noted for the presence of similar aplite dykes and sill structures but never explored as an anologue for a Timbarra style deposit. Hornfels outcrops dominate the surrounding halo of the intrusion and is the host of the mineralisation that occurs as veins and sheeted zones. A roof pendant style hornfels is likely, indicating that the adamellite surface is the original contact with the overlying intruded sediments. The resulting mineralised cap may be preserved and will become a prime exploration target.

Previous Work
The District Mines Inspector 1911 1947, covered early reports from field visits and sampling. All primary deposits are listed as being Intrusive related and disseminated in style. The Lauders field, with disseminated tin in aplites, suggests possible IRGS style mineralisation. An early survey of the YooroonahYooroonah tin-zinc-lead and gold mining noted that prospecting activity dated from 1910 to around 1955, with varying mineralization styles, encountered.

Also in the YooroonahYooroonah area were both alluvial and reef tin workings. The alluvial field worked in 1905-1906 for 2.7t of cassiterite which was coarse grained. In 1929, 1.2t of fine tin was produced and attributed to dissemination in the aplite dykes prevalent in the area. Records show that School Gully, which covers an area of 500m x 250m, produced 2.5t of cassiterite. Quartz on the dumps also contains vughs filled with chalcopyrite, chalcocite and covellite.

Prospects 7 and 8 refer to the YooroonahYooroonah Molybdenum Deposit drilled by CRA in 1972 that are sequestered from exploration by the Serpentine Nature Reserve. They have been included to show the extent of the mineral zonation of the area. Recent field work has located a number of workings that have not been listed in the Data Sheets supporting the view that the area is under explored and the mineralizing system not clearly understood.

copper, lead and zinc values throughout. In addition a regional scale soil and stream sediment survey located anomalous Mo values up to 100 ppm in all creeks draining off the Round Mt Adamellite and its hornfels margins. All drill holes intercepted mineralisation, with up to 4 mineralised zones at various depths to 120m down hole. Both surface (Dipole-Dipole) and Downhole IP surveys were conducted, with a surface chargeability anomaly located south of the main zone. Hole 10 was targeted on the IP anomaly with a trace of galena and other mineralisation throughout the target zone in altered granite, indications are that the hole may have only grazed the mineralisation. The drilling indicated a possible widening out of the mineralised zone with what appears to be new mineralised lenses beginning at depth. Interpretation here supports stacked lenses within the structure. Worthy of note no assays were carried out by CRA for disseminated mineralisation between zones and gold was not assayed as part of the mineral suite. The best results from this work were intersections of around 4.5 5.5m with up to 0.39% Sn, 5.16% Zn, 1% Pb, 61 ppm Ag and 0.34% Cu Another hole intersected anomalous results throughout the target zone and beyond into altered granite, Assay values for this hole could not be determined accurately and re-drilling and assaying for additional IRGD elements is suggested.

CRA Exploration
CRA held EL1037 during the late 1970s, primarily to explore for mineralization. They located a 450m long tin-lead anomaly in a soil sampling program that only targeted Sn, Zn, Pb, Ag, Cu. Although there are reports of gold assays from historic work no assays were taken for gold or molybdenum as the prices for these commodities in 1978 was too low to be considered in CRA's exploration strategy. Clearly the present gold price regime supports detailed exploration. The Yooroonah Yooroonah lode has been described as a mineralised, magnetic, basic-body controlled by a steeply dipping joint in granite. The lode outcrops discontinuously over 100m and is from 1.5-9m wide. It was tested in 1972 with a 13 trenches across the anomalous area which gave values of 0.132.42% tin, Tr-3.7% lead, Tr-2% copper, 0.7-5% zinc and Tr-3.25 oz silver. Additionally a bulk sample set was created from twelve of the trenches and combined into 3 samples to give an indication of recoverable tin values. Results show the tin grades range from 0.69% Sn to 1.23% Sn with a trace of gold. CRA regarded the deposit as being similar to Anduramba (26 Mt @ 0.075% Mo equiv.) in southeast Queensland. Subsequent drilling intercepted vein and disseminated molybdenum values up to 891 ppm Mo over drill widths up to 30m and anomalous

Characteristic metals associations are present, especially Au, W, Sn, Te, As, and to a lesser degree Sb, Pb, Cu, and Zn. ! Metal zonation is evident in the vertical and horizontal throughout the deposit with the mineralization located at the margins of intrusions ! Magmas need to be leucocratic and felsic and are best located in I-Type granite suites. ! Regional Fracturing during the emplacement of the intrusion gives rise to stockwork and sheeted veins, breccias, distal fissure veins and disseminated mineralisation. Geology of the EL has the required structure, intrusive placement and supports the view that the IRGS model is applicable for this project. The goal of the proposed exploration program is to understand the mineralisation style and locate the structures which would host a large tonnage gold and multi-element deposit.

EL6918 Sydney Flat

(Commodity: gold) Sydney Flat is a high-grade historical alluvial deposit that has only been partially exploited due to ground conditions. With new technology, these can be easily overcome, giving it the potential for a high-grade mine with a minimal footprint. This 256 sq km or 100 unit lease covers the entire Sydney Flat Goldfield, including the known northern worked leads and the projections of the deep lead system are located approx 5km south of Armidale and centered on the town of Uralla in northern NSW. The entire EL is serviced by all weather tarred roads and the New England Highway runs through the eastern perimeter. Infrastructure in the area includes a regional airport and hotels at Armidale and a freight and passenger rail service to Armidale and Uralla.

Proposed Work Program

Mineral deposits within the EL are not well documented and the EL has been largely overlooked as an exploration target especially with regard to the IRGS model. Exploration will include: ! Review of previous exploration data; ! Follow-uo mapping and sampling, as required; ! Assaying for IRGS indicator elements including Bi, to determine spatial metal zonation; ! Interpretation of multi-client aeromagnetic survey data; ! Twinning a 1978 drill hole to obtain gold values and to determine the stockwork veining and bulk tonnage potential.

Rare outcrop of the silicific cap that forms the top of the Deep Leads
The exploration target contains a goldfield that was credited with producing an estimated 2% of world gold production during the first 5 years of production and gold grades were reported of up to 3.9 oz per cubic metre with many averaging between 10 and 12 g/.m3. Deep leads were first mined at Sydney Flat from 1856 to 1885, where the overlying protective Tertiary basalt had weathered away exposing the goldbearing alluvium. They have been explored and mined for a distance of approximately 5km and extensions are projected to continue northerly for a further 15 km. The channels containing the leads are reported to vary in width from 50m to 800m and up to 30m thick, with the average thickness estimated to be around 10m. Extensions to the leads may be found in tributaries to the main drainage system, upgrading the expected exploration target significantly.

Budget
A total budget of $216,500 has been estimated to cover the first two years' work, comprising: Year 1 $80,500 Year 2 $136,000 The exploration budget is heavily committed to drilling with $30,000 spent in the first year and $60,000 in the second year. It is supported by geological mapping, geochemical sampling.

Geology and Mineralisation

The tenement is located in the central New England Fold Belt, which has a long history of tectonic uplift and intrusive emplacement. The oldest basement rocks encountered in the region are the Devonian Sandon Beds, hornfelsed greywackes and cherts intruded by Permian age granites of the New England Batholith system. In the tenement area the main Permian Intrusive is the Uralla Granodiorite. Tertiary sediments, the Armidale Beds, are deposited unconformably overlying both the Sandon Beds and the Uralla Granodiorite. The Armidale Beds are analogues of the gold bearing, deep lead deposits. Overlying them are numerous tertiary basalt flows of various ages. Broad incisions of the recent drainage contain gold bearing Quaternary alluvium sourced from the erosion of the deep lead system. Outcrop within the Tenement is generally poor due to deep weathering of the Tertiary basalts.

The channels within the leads are reported to vary in width from 50m to 800m and up to 30m thick as they flowed over the undulating bed rock. The average thickness has been estimated at around 10m and the leads are described as being unconsolidated running quartz sands, grading to fine gravel called hailstone gravel.

Gold Provenance and Genesis

It has been suggested that the gold contained in the deep lead system is derived from the local area however no significant gold source has yet been located. Brown has reported the auriferous reefs to the west of the area are relatively small in size and number indicating they do not represent the source of the 'enormous alluvial deposits'. (Brown, Brownlow and Krynen 1992.) The recovered gold was said to be mostly fine and crystalline however no significant gold source has yet been located along the course of the lead structure or within the region. Provenance of the gold has now been reintertpretted notto be detrital in origin but chemical, derived from gold-bearing fluids from a distant source that have been precipitated out in the channel environment, not dissimilar to a uranium roll front deposit. The gold is recorded as being uniformly spread throughout the containing gravel rather than as more discrete particles reducing nugget effect and would imply that the recovery of gold should be more predictable. This supported by mining records from the field.

Deep Leads
The deep leads were first mined at Sydney Flat where the overlying Tertiary basalt had weathered away exposing the gold-bearing alluvium. They were worked from 1856 to 1885 and explored for a distance of approximately 5km. Their extensions are able to be projected continuously north for a further 15 km.

Previous Work
Mining methods during the 1800s were primitive, highly dangerous, and were restricted to driving in the wash sands below the basalt cap and timbering ahead to contain the running sands. Water in the working was a continual problem, preventing access to the deeper ground or to any ground with a bottom that prevented water to exit via the drive. Today, the running sand and high water volume are beneficial to modern Bore Hole Mining techniques. Shafts were sunk on the northern deeper ground but production was not continuous as the water volume was excessive. Reports exist from Annual Reports to the Mines Department of the time of workings so choked with running sand and water that they were abandoned, and of workers nearly trapped by water that rose so rapidly that men barely had time to escape and had to leave their tools behind them. Since the historical production, a number of attempts have been made to explore the area, with some success. Approximately seven holes have been drilled, although the drilling technique was not suitable for adequate sample collection. The limited drilling was defective and not able to extract a reliable sample to the surface due to lack of RC capability, excessive water volume encountered in the deep lead itself and the running nature of the alluvium. Modern Mining Technology
Depth (m)

Prospectivity
The scale of the alluvial exploration target is significant when based on the 15 km length and the quoted 100m average width. When tributaries of the auriferous drainage system are included, the exploration target is regarded as prospective.

Proposed Work Program

Exploration will outline the extensions of the Sydney Flat Deep Lead system to the north to define the most continuous and most prospective areas incorporating Multi-Spectral data interpretation, using the K and Th signature of the kaolin clays within deep lead. Ground-penetrating radar will then be applied to pinpoint the position more accurately, to enable follow-up air-core (AC) RC drilling to recover the auriferous sands. It is anticipated that large volume samples (+1 cum) will be obtained to allow a reliable/repeatable gold grade to be determined by gravity methods in a small scale pilot plant.

Bore Hole Mining technology is considered the best option for mining the deposit, as it is able to utilize the running nature of the gold bearing sands and the exceptional ground water volumes which prevented the sands from being mined by historic miners. The technology has evolved over a number of years and is now used successfully in a number of mines in Australia, such as at St Ives in WA and overseas in the coal basins of Wyoming, the oil sands of Canada and for a number of commodities in the former Soviet Union.

Budget
A total budget of $318,000 has been estimated, comprising: Year 1 $190,000 Year 2 $228,000 The exploration budget is heavily committed to drilling, with $60,000 spent in the first year and $45,000 in the second. The drill program is supported by geological mapping, and geophysics (GPR and magnetics), better to define mineralised zones. The work is planned to test the mineralisation sufficiently to define a JORC Resource.

EL7067- Dalmorton
(Commodities: gold) The Dalmorton/Little River gold fields covers approximately 256 sq km and encompasses some of the major reefs of the Dalmorton/Little River Gold Field that covers historic workings of sediment-hosted gold with known mineralisation. New geological models imply that there is the potential for a substantial near-surface, open cut resource. The gold fields are located approximately 55 km west-southwest of Grafton in northern NSW or 60 km east of Glen Innes on the northern tablelands. Access is via the Gwyder Highway either from Grafton if travelling from the east or Glen Innes from inland. The access from the Gwyder Highway is then by dirt road to the township of Dalmorton and then 4wd logging roads to the prospects. There is good access to local infrastructure and accommodation in either Glen Innes or Grafton . The area was explored during the 1980s and 90s by Little River Goldfields N.L and B.P Minerals Australia. . This work outlined a prospective exploration target at the Pine Ck lode. Pine Ck is open ended down dip and down plunge. Exploration also delineated a large number of target areas but work ceased as the gold price retreated in the early 1990s.

Geology and Mineralisation

EL 7067 covers a portion of the Middle Silurian to Early Permian Coffs Harbour Block on the Grafton 1:250,000 Geology Map. Deformed sedimentary and volcanic rocks and serpentinite and numerous deformed and undeformed granitoids of the Kingsgate Adamellite are included. A Permo-Triassic age is assigned to calc-alkaline volcanic rocks and granitoids intruding the Coffs Harbour Block sediments they post-date the deformed assemblages. Regional tectonic control is thought to be associated with the Demon Fault thrust system, which compressed and then dilated the Coffs Harbour Block sediments allowing mineralised fluids to accumulate in the brittle vein voids. Approximately 60 historic mines are present, the majority worked in the first 29 years of the discovery of the Goldfield. Records show that a significant number of them had high (+30 g/t Au) values when worked above the water table but decreased in value in the sulphide (primary zone). A number however operated successfully in the sulphide zone giving encouragement to the view that an economic sulphide/intrusive related style orebody may exist in the area. This has been borne out by the drilling results at Pine Creek by BP Minerals. The Silurian to Devonian Little River Beds, which have been intruded by Permian granites, consist of sedimentary and volcanic rocks including cherts and black slates interbedded with basaltic rocks. Bedding is nearly vertical. Known gold mineralisation is confined to the Little River

Budget
A total budget of $195,000 has been estimated, comprising: Year 1 $66,500 Year 2 $128,500 The exploration budget is heavily committed to drilling with $30,000 spent in the first year and $60,000 in the second. The work is planned to test the mineralisation sufficiently to define a JORC Resource.

Previous Work
Gold was first discovered in the field in the 1860s, continuing intermittently to 1942. During the peak of production, in excess of 60 mines were recorded working in the field. Principal reefs include Mt Remarkable, Mt Rea, Tower Hill, Mt Poole and Quartz Pot Creek. During the 1980s and 90s, the field was explored by Little River Goldfields N.L (LRG), Getty Oil and B.P Minerals Australia. Getty . searched for stratabound gold hosted in chert-ironstone, and with LRG they tested the old workings at the Pine Creek prospect. RC and diamond drilling work delineated a large number of potential target areas which have not been adequately tested to date. Work ceased on the project as the gold price retreated in the early 1990s.

"Millennium" Mining Leases
The Millennium leases cover old copper mine workings, including the Federal, which produced some 10,000t of very high grade (25%) copper ore during the early 1900s. Exploration was carried out intermittently from the 'sixties. Most of this work ignored the high-value cobalt and concentrated on the narrow copper mineralisation. The "Millennium" Mining Leases (ML's 2512, 2761, 2762, 7506, 7507) are located some 35 km northwest of Cloncurry and just 10 km NW of Cudeco's Rocklands proposed development project. The location has excellent logistics with good road access and is proximal to power grids and a major rail network.

Proposed Work Program

Existing data from previous drilling will be correlated the with the goal of extending the exploration target within the Pine Creek mineralisation, within the exploration program. The chert-ironstone hosted gold mineralisation is interbedded with the altered tuffs and lavas, which extend down dip and down plunge. Other targets are the prospective open-pittable deposits.

The "Millennium" MLs are located some 35 km northwest of Cloncurry, a modern town 120 km east of Mt Isa on the sealed Flinders Highway and the rail line, both connecting to Townsville on the coast. The town supports a growing mining industry with large workforce, serviced by reliable power and water utilities. Leases extend in a northerly direction for a distance of almost 3 km. Access is obtained via a good gravel road from Cloncurry that passes across the southern margin of the leases and is part of the old Cloncurry-Mount Isa Road. Topography in the lease areas is undulating to steep, with numerous, low scrubby areas. Several old and overgrown mining tracks traverse the area and outcrop is reasonable.

Geology and Mineralisation

Copper staining in quartz veinlets, Millennium
Costeaning and drilling from the 'sixties to the 'nineties investigated an extensive shear zone that carries significant copper and cobalt values and minor gold. This work was mainly aimed at the narrow (1.0 to 7.4m) copper mineralisation, but succeeded in showing that the cobalt intersections were much wider than copper ones. Elementos' focus is the high-value cobalt along the broad shear system west of the old Federal Mine, which dips west and extends over a strike length of some 450m, down dip over 100m and is open in all directions, with strongly anomalous values in cobalt, copper and some gold. Consideing that Elementos is targeting the far thicker cobalt widths of 10 to over 60m, this target has the potential to generate a significantly large and economic grade resource. Elementos are interested in defining a small, open cut resource of Cobalt, with possible Copper and Gold credits, The strong prices for cobalt have greatly changed the economics since it was explored previously, especially as there appears to be potential for bulk lower grade mineralisation and possibly parallel systems. Metallurgical studies carried out by DMRin the early 'nineties indicate that the metals, particularly the cobalt, is readily amenable to flotation enrichment, producing high-grade concentrates for transportation. With established treatment facilities in the Cloncurry area steadily increasing as new deposits are developed, trucking to an outside plant was considered an option. A recent review and field trip was carried out by the company to review the previous findings in the field. All the outcropping rocks belong to the Carpentarian (Proterozoic) Corella Formation with three major mapping units recognised. The structural trend is northerly, with strikes varying from mostly north-northwesterly to north-northeasterly. In 2006, geological mapping was undertaken by Murchison United N.L. in the southern portion of the lease areas where the historic copper mining and more recent costeaning and drilling work has taken place The old workings are on structures trending some 15 east of true north in concordance with the general trend of the country in this area. Two units within that Formation are locally dominant. The first unit consists mostly of limestone and calcareous granofels. The second unit is mostly phyllite, schist, basic tuff, acid volcanic agglomerate and metabasalt. This unit hosts the main, elongated cupriferous zone that was targeted by most of the costeans and many of the drill holes. In the northern area, mineralisation is located in brecciated and argillised siltstones and quartzites. In the southern area, it is in a sheared and argillised siltstone and shale sequence. Carbonaceous and pyritic black shales occur in the prospect area and a north-westerly trending cupriferous zone is well defined with a series of old shallow pits and workings.

Numerous lensoidal, massive, white quartz "blows" are present. In the south this quartz unit trends northerly to northeasterly and commonly forms at the boundary of the schist unit with the mudstone/shale/metabasalt unit, and probably represents an in-fill of a fault zone. In some places there are small copper showings on this quartz. The target of the extensive earlier costeaning was a relatively narrow (but up to 7.0m wide on surface) northeasterly to north-northeasterly trending "lode zone" which outcrops sporadically (but is well exposed in the costeans) along the western edge of the area. This zone is a ferruginous, clayey, brecciated shear zone dipping westerly at about 50 (but variable). It contains visible copper mineralisation and has a strike extent of some 500m. In some places pale, silicified mudstone can also be observed as a wall rock to the shear zone. To the southwest, a small outcrop of yellow/white/brown gossanous and siliceous rock outcrops. Some of the material is a white, light weight porcellinite or magnesite rock. A grab sample of the material returned 81 ppm Co and 871 ppm Cu, which is anomalously high. Outcrop is generally poor in this area.

A number of old mines were worked to the west and north of the Federal - these are the "Rita Margaret", "Krakanos", and others, which worked a separate, northerly to north-northeasterly trending shear zone. Very small tonnages were extracted, but significant cobalt was noted in the copper ore. Carpentarian Exploration Company Pty. Ltd. (CEC) In 1964 CEC carried out an extensive mapping, rock chip sampling and shallow percussion drilling program. Problems were encountered with the drilling due to "caving" ground. However some prospective intersections were made. CEC estimated that the drilling had prospective near surface mineralisation. Tasman Minerals N.L. In 1970, Tasman Minerals N.L. drilled five holes in the area - three at the Federal Mine and two at the Rita Margaret. One of the holes at the Rita Margaret (exact location unknown) FD02 intersected a 9.1m zone grading 0.26% Co and 2.2% Cu (95.4 - 104.5m down hole). Gold was not assayed. Hole FD-05 which was also in the Rita Margaret area intersected several zones of elevated Co (to 0.75%) and Cu, but long intersections of ore grade were lacking. Information on this work appears incomplete. Strategic Resources N.L. Strategic Resources N.L. followed on from Tasman Minerals work in the early 1970s. They undertook a general data review, geological mapping, soil and rock chip sampling, limited geophysical surveys, some initial metallurgical studies and one diamond drill hole. The program confirmed the continuity of the broad zone of mineralisation intersected by the Tasman holes. Diversified Mineral Resources N.L. (DMR) In 1988, DMR carried out a program of costeaning and sampling. There were some interesting results from the channel sampling of the costeans, but there are no maps or co-ordinates to allow identification of each costean as plotted now from the recent mapping. Channel samples of interest are listed below:Costean D25m @ 0.13% Co, 0.94% Cu, 0.45 g/t Au Costean E5.5m @ 0.1% Co, 2.13% Cu, 1.54 g/t Au Costean F5.5m @ 0.32% Co, 1.54% Cu, 0.33 g/t Au Costean G5.0m @ 0.11% Co, 0.91 % Cu, 0.24 g/t Au Costean Q9.0m @ 0.06% Co, 0.83% Cu, 0.26 g/t Au

Previous Work
At least six Mining Leases originally covered the old copper mine workings. Federal was the largest during the early 1900s. Workings on three narrow lenses (60 cm average width) reached a depth of about 135m. Mineralisation was in a narrow, high grade vein/shear system trending northerly within a host of mica schist and carbonaceous slate and siltstone. High grade chalcocite with some carbonates was present to about 40m depth. Below this (to about 66m) there was high grade mineralisation dominated by bornite. Chalcopyrite appeared below this depth and grades decreased.

Shear zone cut in costean with a >2,000g/t Cobalt anomaly

A number of old mines were worked to the west and north of the Federal - these are the "Rita Margaret", "Krakanos", and others, which worked a separate, northerly to north-northeasterly trending shear zone. Very small tonnages were extracted, but significant cobalt was noted in the copper ore.

Later, in 1992, they drilled five cored holes (FD07 - 11). Core was analysed for Co, Cu, Au and, sometimes As. Drill logs, cross sections, geological maps, assay sheets and etc. were prepared, but unfortunately these details so far have not been retrieved and only brief summary reports and detailed drafted sections appear now to be available.

These results, although incomplete, are still considered reliable and lend weight to the theory that there may be multiple shears or an anastromose system. If proven, this would have the potential to increase the tonnage of the deposit significantly. It was observed that oxidation extended only some 20m downhole before sulphides were encountered. DMR realised that the widths of the strongly anomalous cobalt intersections were significantly larger than the copper intersections, so tonnages of cobalt ore would be far larger than those previously considered for copper alone. They analysed the cobalt potential in detail, including recalculating grade widths based on a (then current) AU$50 economic cut/off and sending bulk samples from two holes in the north and two in the south for metallurgical testing to assess the potential for flotation enrichment. This preliminary metallurgical work on sulphide samples suggested that reasonable recoveries should be achievable resulting in separate cobalt and copper concentrates. Since the results from this work were promising, DMR did consider the possibility of processing the cobalt, but since the cobalt price had only recently started to increase, it was considered too high a risk to continue developing. Elementos Limited Elementos has conducted limited reconnaissance sampling to review the mineralisation described. Two rock chip samples were taken in August 2009. One random grab sample of from mullock around the shafts of the Mona workings with goethite, limonite and malachite stainingon quartz with boxwork returned 1.35g/t gold, 32.5g/t silver and 3.5% copper. The second sample was of a >50cm width of dark stained sheared rock cut by a minor veinlet with malachite staining. This returned 7.24% cobalt, with 13.3% copper and 3.17% Manganese. These samples confirm that there is potential for mineralisation and that the shear zones have higher grade potential.

Metallurgical Testing
Limited metallurgical testing was submitted to Hydromet Pty Ltd by Strategic Minerals in 1980 on samples of core from hole FD06 carrying between 0.09- 0.21% Co and 0.9 4.48% Cu as sulphide. Hydromet concluded that they were confident that separate copper-gold and cobalt concentrates could be produced. In 1993, Diversified Minerals N.L., sent composite samples from four drill holes to Hydrometallurgy Research Laboratories. These were taken from drill holes, FD7 and FD 10 in the northern mineralised zone, and FD 9 and FD 11 in the southern zone. Samples Submitted Sample FD07 FD09 FD10 FDll Cu ppm 0.37 0.10 0.43 0.29 Co ppm 0.12 0.14 0.12 0.16 Au ppm 1.08 0.0 0.17 0.0

For the northern zone, which contained primary and secondary sulphides in a feldspathic quartzite host with calcite veins, flotation resulted in high grade cobalt and copper concentrates being recovered. (1) High grade copper concentrates recovered over 90 % w/w (weight for weight) of the copper to give a concentrate grade above 18 % Cu with very good cobalt selectivity. (2) Saleable grade cobalt concentrates could be produced recovering 60% w/w of the available cobalt to produce a concentrate grade of approximately 2 % Co Composites from the southern mineralised zone within a sheared siltstone host, were more complicated due to the mix of fresh (primary) and oxidized (secondary) sulphides and the close association with siliceous gangue. Saleable grade cobalt concentrates could be produced, ranging from 1 - 4 % (w/w) at high overall cobalt recoveries, but the attempts to produce a copper concentrate were unsuccessful. For both areas A reverse cleaning stage to float siliceous material away from the cobalt concentrates produced from both ore zones was recommended to increase the concentrate grade further.

Prospectivity
Elementos stated aim is to define a small volume, open cut resource of high-value Cobalt for treatment on site or potentially toll treating ore through another plant in the region.

Part of Elementos sample 200915, an rockchip sample of a structure in a trench, Millennium. This assayed 7.24% Cobalt, 13.3% Copper and 3.17% Manganese

To this end it can be concluded that: ! Based on the results of MRNL and DMR, the Co mineralisation is apparently broadly continuous over a strike length of 1km and with potential for extensions to the north and south.

60

PROSPECTUS 2009

! Assuming a strike length of 450m, a conservative 100m depth

extension and a conservative average width of 10m, a small but prospective opencut deposit of high value cobalt can be targeted. ! There is scope also for additional mineralisation in the northern part of the lode system where surface grades are lower, but where drilling could intersect better grades. Parallel systems and much wider, lower grade zones, may also be present. In Trench 11 there is a second mineralised zone, some 10m to the west of the main zone. ! Additionally, the DMR drilling at the Federal Mine outlined 2550t of mineralisation grading 21% Cu, but- probably only accessible by underground methods. This exceptionally high-grade copper ore is poorly understood and its potential is undefined. ! As new deposits are developed in the Cloncurry area, trucking to an outside plant may be an option. ! Significant cobalt mineralisation has been defined at the much larger Cudeco Rocklands project, 10km SE, where metallurgical studies indicate 92.4% cobalt recovery from primary ore. (Rocklands Annual Report 2008). ! Millennium is already a fully granted Mining Lease with a previous history of production. It is highly likely that it would be granted regulatory approval. ! Taking these parameters into account there is a reasonable potential for a moderate tonnage of high-grade cobalt ore that would be compatible with conventional concentrating techniques. Proposed Work Program Elementos has proposed a multi-discipline program for Millennium. This would concentrate first on confirming the known mineralisation with modern techniques and using multi-element geochemistry to test prospectivity. It would then move as quickly on to developing and expanding the targets to depth and along strike. This would take the form: ! Continued efforts to recover the documentation supporting the previous exploration and the conclusions thereof. ! Extending the mapping and surface sampling to cover the extent of the known workings.

! Soil and outcrop geochemistry, where appropriate, to tie in the line of the known shear where it has not been trenched previously and to search for the potential parallel structures. ! A geophysical technique, to be confirmed, but possibly IP This . would consist of an orientation survey over a known target and extending it into less understood areas. ! Follow-up drilling with reverse circulation or aircore to test the targets generated, with results within nine months of start up. ! New metallurgical test may be carried out to compare the greatly improved techniques for cobalt and copper recovery.

Budget
A total budget of $175,000 has been estimated for the first 2 years operations, comprising: Year 1 $155,000 Year 2 $120,000 The exploration budget is heavily committed to drilling, with $80,000 spent in the first year and also in the second. The drill program is supported by geochemical sampling, mapping, and some IP traverses to better define mineralised zones. The work is planned to test the mineralisation sufficiently to define a JORC Resource.

Marayes Basin Coal Project, San Juan, Argentina

The company directly holds 23.75 sq km of tenements prospective for coal close to the Santo Domingo project in San Juan province. These are considered to have strong potential to take advantage of the ongoing energy crisis in Latin America. No work has been carried out recently and the company may consider looking for a partner to advance this project.

Directors' Remuneration As at the date of this Prospectus, there were no contractual obligations for Elementos to remunerate any Director except as noted below. No remuneration is payable to any Director for services rendered up to the date of this Prospectus. A. Anthony McLennan is entitled to $50,000 per annum as directors' fees for his role as Chairman and Neil Stuart is entitled to $25,000 per annum as a non-executive director. Cory Nolan is entitled to $185,000 per annum (plus statutory superannuation) for his services as chief executive officer of Elementos pursuant to a service agreement which becomes operative upon the listing of the company on ASX. In addition, the Directors have been granted options to acquire ordinary shares in Elementos based on the following terms and conditions:

The above options have an expiry date of 20 October 2015 and lapse if the Director ceases to hold office before the target prices are met. For accounting purposes, the above options will be expensed by Elementos over their expected vesting period. For pro forma purposes, the commencement date is assumed to be from the grant date (23 October 2009) such that no expense has been recognised to date. The fair values of the Directors' Options were estimated using a binominal option pricing model that takes into account the exercise price, the term of the option, the share price at grant date, the expected dividend yield and expected price volatility of the underlying share and the risk-free interest rate. The expected price volatility is based on the historic volatility of similar listed companies, including Orocobre. As the fair value of the Directors' Options has been calculated for pro forma disclosure purposes only, and is yet to be finalised, the fair value of the options has been determined based on a range of expected price volatilities and other inputs as follows:

Summary of Significant Accounting Policies The significant accounting policies that have been adopted in the preparation of the pro forma financial information of Elementos are: (a) Basis of accounting The pro forma financial information has been prepared in accordance with the recognition and measurement (but not all the disclosure) requirements of applicable Australian Accounting Standards using the accrual basis of accounting including the historical cost convention and the going concern assumption. (b) Principles of consolidation The consolidated pro forma balance sheets incorporate the assets and liabilities of all subsidiaries of Elementos. Subsidiaries are all those entities (including special purpose entities) over which Elementos has the power to govern the financial and operating policies, generally accompanying a shareholding of more than one-half of the voting rights. The existence and effect of potential voting rights that are currently exercisable or convertible are considered when assessing whether the consolidated entity controls another entity. Subsidiaries are fully consolidated from the date on which control is transferred to the consolidated entity. The purchase method of accounting is used to account for the acquisition of subsidiaries by the consolidated entity (refer to note 1(d) below). (c) Impairment of assets Goodwill and intangible assets that have an indefinite useful life are not subject to amortisation and are tested annually for impairment, or more frequently if events or changes in circumstances indicate that they might be impaired. Other assets are reviewed for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount may not be recoverable. An impairment loss is recognised for the amount by which the asset's carrying amount exceeds its recoverable amount. The recoverable amount is the higher of an asset's fair value less costs to sell and value in use. For the purposes of assessing impairment, assets are grouped at the lowest levels for which there are separately identifiable cash inflows which are largely independent of the cash inflows from other assets or groups of assets (cash generating units). (d) Business combinations The acquisition method of accounting is used to account for business combinations. The acquirer is identified as the entity that obtains control of the acquiree. As at the acquisition date, the acquirer recognises, separately from goodwill, the identifiable assets acquired, the liabilities assumed and any non-controlling interest in the acquiree. The identifiable assets acquired and liabilities assumed are measured at the acquisition date fair values. Goodwill is recognised and measured as the excess of the aggregate of the consideration transferred plus the amount of any non-controlling interest in the acquiree and, in a business combination achieved in stages, the acquisition-date fair value of the acquirer's previously held equity interest in the acquiree over the net of the acquisition-date amounts of the identifiable assets acquired and liabilities assumed. If the acquirer makes a bargain purchase the acquirer recognises a gain in profit or loss on the acquisition date. (e) Cash and cash equivalents Cash and cash equivalents includes cash on hand, deposits held at call with financial institutions, other short-term highly liquid investments with original maturities of three months or less that are readily convertible to known amounts of cash and which are subject to an insignificant risk of changes in value. (f) Exploration and evaluation costs Exploration and evaluation costs incurred are accumulated separately for each area of interest. The costs are carried forward as an asset where rights to tenure of the area of interest are current and where such costs are expected to be recouped through successful development, or by sale, or where exploration and evaluation activities have not at balance date reached a stage to allow a reasonable assessment to be made regarding the existence of economically recoverable reserves and active and significant operations in, or in relation to, the area of interest are continuing. The realisation of the value of costs carried forward depends upon any commercial results that may be obtained through successful development and exploitation of the area of interest or alternatively by its sale. If an area of interest is abandoned or is considered to be of no further commercial interest the accumulated exploration and evaluation costs relating to the area are written off. (g) Contributed equity Ordinary shares are classified as equity. Incremental costs directly attributable to the issue of new shares are shown in equity as a deduction, net of tax, from the proceeds. (h) Equity-settled compensation Employees Shares and share options issued as part of employees' remuneration are measured at fair value at grant date and are recognised over the vesting period as an employee benefit expense with a corresponding increase in equity. Others Shares and share options issued in return for goods and services are measured at the fair value of the goods or services received unless that fair value cannot be estimated reliably in which case the goods or services received are measured, indirectly, by reference to the fair value of shares or share options granted. The goods or services and corresponding increase in equity are recognised when the goods are obtained or as the services are received.

INDEPENDENT ACCOUNTANT'S REPORT 1. INTRODUCTION

We have prepared this Independent Accountant's Report (Report) at the request of the Directors of Elementos Limited (Elementos or the company) for inclusion in a Prospectus to be dated on or about 6 November 2009. The Prospectus relates to the issue by Elementos of 25 million ordinary shares (Minimum Subscription) to 33 million ordinary shares (Maximum Subscription) at an issue price of 25 cents per share. Expressions defined in the Prospectus have the same meaning in this Report. We have prepared this Report on the financial information as set out in Section 6 of the Prospectus. As outlined in Section 6, Elementos has not traded since incorporation on 3 September 2009. Elementos currently has one issued share held by Orocobre Limited. It is proposed that Orocobre (through another subsidiary) will assign the rights to the Santo Domingo gold copper project in Argentina to a subsidiary of Elementos. The Directors estimate the fair value of the project to be $1 million. The consideration for the assignment is to be paid by the issue of 20 million ordinary shares in Elementos. The company also intends to enter into a number of option agreements to acquire various mining leases in Australia prior to its initial public offering.

2.

PRO FORMA BALANCE SHEETS

The Directors have included in Section 6.3 of the Prospectus pro forma balance sheets of Elementos based on Minimum and Maximum Subscriptions as contemplated by the Prospectus. The pro forma balance sheets assume certain adjustments for selected pro forma transactions. The basis on which the pro forma balance sheets have been prepared is more fully set out in Section 6.4 of the Prospectus. The pro forma balance sheets are presented in an abbreviated form and do not include all of the disclosures required by Australian Accounting Standards applicable to annual financial reports prepared in accordance with the Corporations Act 2001. The Directors are solely responsible for the preparation and presentation of the pro forma balance sheets, including the adjustments for the selected pro forma transactions incorporated in the pro forma balance sheets. The pro forma balance sheets have been prepared for inclusion in the Prospectus. Johnston Rorke disclaims any assumption of responsibility for any reliance on this Report or on the pro forma balance sheets to which it relates for any purposes other than that for which it was prepared. This Report should be read in conjunction with the Prospectus. This Report relates only to the pro forma balance sheets and does not extend to any other financial information included in the Prospectus.

3.

SCOPE

We have conducted an independent review of the pro forma balance sheets in order to state whether, on the basis of the procedures described, anything has come to our attention that would cause us to believe that the pro forma balance sheets, as set out in Section 6.3 of the Prospectus, are not presented fairly, in all material respects, in accordance with: ! the financial records of Elementos at 30 September 2009 and the pro forma transactions and/or adjustments described in Section 6.4 of the Prospectus; and

PROSPECTUS 2009

73

! the recognition and measurement principles (but not all the disclosure requirements) of applicable Australian Accounting Standards (including the Australian Accounting Interpretations) and the accounting policies adopted by Elementos as disclosed in Section 6.4 of the Prospectus. Our review has been conducted in accordance with ASRE 2405 Review of Historical Financial Information Other than a Financial Report. Our review was limited to: analytical procedures applied to the financial information; a review of the pro forma transactions and/or adjustments; a review of work papers, accounting records and other documents; a comparison of consistency in application of the recognition and measurement principles in Australian Accounting Standards (including the Australian Accounting Interpretations) and the accounting policies adopted by Elementos as disclosed in Section 6.4 (note 1) of the Prospectus; and ! enquiry of Directors, management and others. ! ! ! ! The review procedures do not provide all the evidence that would be required in an audit, thus the level of assurance provided is less than that given in an audit. We have not performed an audit and, accordingly, we do not express an audit opinion on the pro forma balance sheets.

4.

REVIEW STATEMENT

Based on our review, which is not an audit, nothing has come to our attention that causes us to believe that the pro forma balance sheets, as set out in Section 6.3 of the Prospectus, are not presented fairly, in all material respects, in accordance with: ! the financial records of Elementos at 30 September 2009 and the pro forma transactions and/or adjustments described in Section 6.4 of the Prospectus; and ! the recognition and measurement principles (but not all the disclosure requirements) of applicable Australian Accounting Standards (including the Australian Accounting Interpretations) and the accounting policies adopted by Elementos as disclosed in Section 6.4 of the Prospectus.

5.

SUBSEQUENT EVENTS

Apart from the matters dealt with in this Report, and elsewhere in the Prospectus, and having regard to the scope of our Report, to the best of our knowledge and belief no material transactions or events outside of the ordinary business of Elementos subsequent to 30 September 2009 have come to our attention that would require comment on, or adjustment to, the information referred to in our Report or that would cause such information to be misleading or deceptive.

INDEPENDENCE

JR does not have any interest in the outcome of the Offer other than the preparation of this Report and assistance in the presentation of certain financial information for which it will receive normal professional fees.

5 November 2009 The Directors Elements Limited

LEGAL REPORT ON ARGENTINE TENURE We are instructed that Elementos Limited (Company), through its Argentine subsidiary Elementos Minerales SA, has entered into options to purchase certain exploration and mining tenements (Tenements) based in the province of San Juan. In order to raise the necessary capital to finance the exploitation of the Tenements and other mineral rights, we are instructed that the Company, intends to conduct an initial public offering of shares and list on the ASX. The Company has requested that we provide a legal opinion commenting the status and validity of both the Tenements and the Company's proposed acquisition of the Tenements.

Tenements Status. The Company holds two options to purchase a number of tenements in Argentina (Option Agreements). A schedule of the Tenements accompanies this report (Schedule). The Schedule provides details of the current status of the Tenements and other relevant information and should be read in conjunction with this report. We have conducted the necessary searches and enquires in respect of the Tenements and can confirm that as at the date of this report; ! Where any of the tenements are still in application form, we have conducted reasonable enquiries and are not aware of any matters that may affect the decision to grant or constitute grounds to reject the application; ! The details of the tenements referred to in this report are accurate as to the status and registered holder of the tenements; ! All applicable rents and fees due in respect of the tenements under the Mining Code or other regulations have been paid; ! All expenditure requirements and work programs under the Mining Code have been met or exemptions obtained or applied for; ! All annual expenditure and other exports on operations required to be lodged with the Secretariat of Mining (Secretariat) or other relevant authorities have been lodged; ! There are no securities or other encumbrances against the titles to the tenements; ! The tenements are owned by the persons or companies described as vendors in the options; ! None of the tenements are subject to any conditions or a material nature that are unusual or onerous by Argentine standards; ! Except as set out in this letter, the required environmental authorities to carry out activities permitted by the grants, have been obtained. Options to Purchase We have been provided with copies of the Option Agreements. We confirm that: ! Both option agreements have been entered into by or been validly assigned to the Company (through its Argentine subsidiary, Elementos Minerales SA). ! All of the Tenements referred to in the Option Agreements are held by the person or company named as the holder into the Option Agreements. ! The Option Agreements are legally binding, valid and enforceable under Argentinean law. ! The Option Agreements in combination cover all of the Tenements listed in the Schedule.

PROSPECTUS 2009

75

Summary of Terms. Each of the option Agreements provides for the payment of option fees at certain intervals during the term of the option. The Company may exercise the option at any time during the option period. Upon exercise the option: ! The company is to pay the Grantor a purchase payment less the total value of the option fees then paid; and ! The Grantor is to transfer its interest in the relevant Tenements to the Company. The Company is granted the exclusive right to explore or mine (as applicable) the Tenements under each Option, during the Option period, provided that it keeps the tenements in good standing by meeting any minimum expenditure commitments. Under the Option Agreement for the Manantiales project, a Net Smelter Royalty Return of 1% of production is payable. Elementos Minerales S.A. may buy this royalty right at any time at a consideration of US$ 1,000,000. The agreement also provides for a Net Production Royalty at US$ 4 per troy ounce for the first 450,000 ounces of gold product and reducing to US$ 3 per troy ounce once that quantity of production is exceeded. The key terms of each option agreement are set out in the table below.

Tenements types. An explanation of the different tenements types included in the Schedule is set out below: Cateo This category of tenement grants the holder exclusive exploration rights over the tenements area. If a mineral deposit is discovered, the relevant part of the tenement can then be converted into a mining tenement. The term for which the tenement is granted depends on the size of the granted tenement area. A 500 hectare tenement has a 150 day term and each additional unit increases the term by 50 additional days. The largest possible tenement will expire in 1,100 days and after this date, applications for renewal can be made and are generally granted if conditions for grant of the Tenements have been met. Some of the cateo tenements listed in the Schedule are at the application stage and are yet to be formally registered with the relevant authority. However, under Argentinean law, exploration work may begin once: ! All major steps in the application process have been completed, and ! An environmental impact assessment has been completed and approved. All of the tenements applications have complied with the major steps in the application process. Further, most of the tenements have also had environmental impact assessments completed and approved, and exploration work may legally commence on those tenements. Manifestacion de descubrimiento This is the status of a tenement in respect of which a discovery has been reported to the relevant authority during the exploration stage. It is effectively a procedural stage between exploration rights being converted into mining rights. At this stage, the tenement boundaries are redefined to encompass the specific are of the discovery. Mina This type of tenement grants the exclusive right to mine the tenement area. It gives the holder the exclusive right to extract and sell specified minerals on and in the land covered by the tenement, subject to an approved plan of operations and royalties payable to the provincial government. All minerals under concession are usually the property of the relevant province, which grants a conditional licence to extract those minerals. The license is maintained as long as the holder pays the canon fee in a yearly basis. Qualification. In providing this report, we have assumed the information, reports and search results provided by various government agencies in Argentina are accurate and correctly reflects the particulars of the Tenements to which this report relates. We have also assumed all documents provided to us are complete and that any copies conform the originals. Disclosure of interest. Gaston Vargas Gei, will be paid fees for the preparation of this report. Other than in respect of these professional fees, Vargas Galindez Abogados have no interest in the promotion of the Company.

Legal Report on Mining Tenements This report has been prepared for inclusion in the Prospectus to be dated on or about 6 November 2009 and issued by Elementos Limited (Company) for the public offer of up to 33 million fully paid ordinary shares (Shares) at an issue price of $0.25 each to raise up to $8,250,000 (Offer) to be lodged with the Australian Securities and Investments Commission. Enquiries Undertaken A schedule of tenements (Schedule) setting out salient information about the Tenements in which the Company holds an interest (Tenements) accompanies this report. We have undertaken the following searches and enquiries (Searches): copies of the public enquiry reports for each of the Queensland permits from Department of Mines and Energy (DME) searches; copies of the information report for each of the New South Wales exploration licences from Department of Mineral Resources (DMR) searches; and copies of National Native Title Tribunal (NNTT) Searches. current beneficial ownership details of the Tenement; type of Tenement; recorded area of the Tenement; recorded status of the Tenement; instruments or encumbrances affecting the Tenement; disclosed conditions of grant of the Tenement; and recorded NNTT claims relating to the Tenement.

The Schedule provides specific information relating to the Tenements, including:

It is important that the information in the notes to the Schedule is read carefully as details relating to Tenement conditions, relevant native title claims, and exclusions are particularised.

79

Results of Enquiries Based on our Searches and subject to the statements set out below, we confirm as at 30 October 2009: (a) (b) (c) (d) (e) (f) (g) (h) (i) the details of the Tenements referred to in this Report are accurate as to the status and registered holders of each Permit; where title to a Tenement has not been granted, that fact is disclosed in the Schedule; all applicable amounts due in respect of the Tenements under Mineral Resources Act 1989 (Queensland) (MRA), have been paid; all applicable rents due in respect of the Tenements under Mining Act 1992 (New South Wales) (MA), have been paid or applications have been made to the relevant authority for deferment of those payments based on special circumstances; except as set out below, all expenditure requirements and work programmes under the MRA and MA, have been met or exemptions obtained or applications have been made for exemption; all annual expenditure reports on operations required to be lodged with the DME and DMR, have been lodged; any caveats against the titles of the Tenements, have been disclosed in the Schedule; none of the Tenements are subject to any unusual conditions of a material nature, other than as disclosed in the Schedule; and the Tenements that are subject to Native Title claims are set out in the Schedule.

Company's Interest in the Tenements The Company, through its wholly owned subsidiary, Element Minerals Australia Pty Ltd, has entered into Option Agreements under which the Company has been granted the option to acquire beneficial ownership of the Tenements. As at the date of this letter, the Company has not exercised any of those option rights and has therefore not yet acquired beneficial ownership of the Tenements. The Company may, at any time during: (a) (b) the next 12 months, exercise its right to acquire beneficial ownership of the Queensland Mining Leases, failing which they will lapse; and the next 3 years, exercise its right to acquire beneficial ownership of the New South Wales Exploration Licences, failing which they will lapse.

More information about these agreements can be found in Section 10.4 of this Prospectus. Queensland Tenements The tenure in respect of which the Company through its wholly owned subsidiary Element Minerals Australia Pty Ltd has been granted options to acquire beneficial ownership, consists of the following granted Mining Leases for minerals in Queensland (Queensland Mining Leases): ML 2512, ML 2761, ML 2762, ML 7506 and ML 7507. Rights under the Queensland Mining Leases Mining and exploration in Queensland is regulated under the Mineral Resources Act 1989 and accompanying Regulations. Pursuant to this act, a Queensland Mining Lease: (a) (b) (c) is granted for mining operations; entitles the holder to machine-mine specified minerals and carry out activities associated with mining or promoting the activity of mining; and is not restricted to a maximum termthis is determined in accordance with the amount of reserves identified and the projected mine life.

New South Wales Tenements The tenure in respect of which the Company through its wholly owned subsidiary Element Minerals Australia Pty Ltd has been granted options to acquire beneficial ownership, consists of the Exploration Licences for minerals in New South Wales (New South Wales Exploration Licences): EL 6918, EL 7066 and EL 7067. Rights and duties under the New South Wales Exploration Licences Mining and exploration in New South Wales is regulated under the Mining Act 1992 and accompanying Regulations. Pursuant to this act, an exploration licence is a title granted by the New South Wales government to individuals and companies who wish to explore for minerals. Applicants for an exploration licence must demonstrate to the Department of Primary Industries that they have the financial and technical resources to carry out an exploration program.

80

PROSPECTUS 2009

Licence holders are required to spend a specified amount of money on exploration. An exploration licence does not permit mining nor does it automatically follow that a licence holder will be permitted to mine in the future even if a discovery is made. Renewals of Exploration Licences Exploration licences are granted for a term normally of 2 years. A renewal application may be lodged in the period 1 to 2 months prior to expiry of the licence and is normally for no more than 50% of the area as currently held and in no more than 5 separate parts. An application for renewal of an area greater than 50% of the area as held may be considered where the holder can demonstrate that special circumstances exist which warrant consideration of a renewal for an area greater than 50%. Examples cited by the department include where there has been an inability to obtain access, the exploration program has shown that mineralisation extends over a larger area or there is work in hand that is incomplete. Renewal is normally for an additional 2 years. Further renewals can be applied for as required. The holder of an Exploration Licence has the exclusive right to apply for Mining Leases over land within its licence during the term of the authority for the minerals held under that licence. The application for a mining lease is subsequently considered on its merits and the grant of a lease is not an automatic entitlement. Renewal of EL 6918 was due on 22 October 2009 and the holder has applied for renewal. We are not aware of any reason why renewal will not be granted. Renewals of EL 7066 and EL 7067 are due on 5 February 2010 and we are instructed that the Company intends to apply for renewal of these tenements by 5 January 2010. Statutory Expenditure and Work Programs Pursuant to the Mining Act 1992, a minimum amount of money must be expended by the holder of the tenements annually in order to keep them in good standing. We are instructed that there are some statutory payments that have not been made in respect of the New South Wales Exploration Licences and that the holder has applied for renewal of EL 6918 and the Company will apply for renewal of the whole of EL 7066 and 7067 on the basis of special circumstances, notably that the global financial crises has prevented access to funding required to met the minimum expenditure requirements and that no relinquishment should therefore occur. While the holder advises that the current practice of the relevant authority is to grant such applications and permit underpayment of minimum statutory expenditure, we cannot determine whether renewal will be granted or whether, if renewal is granted, there will not be relinquishment of parts of these tenements. Native Title Recognition of Native Title: The Native Title Act 1993 (Cth) (CNTA), which came into effect on 1 January 1994, was enacted in response to the common law recognition of native title. Among other things, the CNTA: (a) (b) (c) (d) Provides a procedure for the recognition of native title claims in the Federal Court; Provides for the validation of past acts and intermediate period acts - invalidated because of the existence of native title; Establishes ways in which future acts affecting native title may proceed, and to set standards for those dealings; and Specifies the procedure for the grant of mining tenements which may affect native title rights.

Persons claiming to hold native title anywhere in Australia may lodge an application for determination of native title (being a native title claim) with the Federal Court. Applications which are lodged with the Federal Court will be referred to the National Native Title Tribunal (NNTT) for the purposes of registration of the claim. If the Native Title Registrar is satisfied that a claim meets the registration requirements set out in the Commonwealth Act (Registration Test) it will be entered on the Register of Native Title Claims maintained by the NNTT (Register). Claimants of registered claims are afforded certain procedural rights under the Commonwealth Act including the right to negotiate . Claims which fail to meet the Registration Test are recorded on the Schedule of Applications Received maintained by the NNTT. Such claims may be entered on the Register at a later date if additional information is provided by the claimant that satisfies the Registration Test. Claims which are deregistered will lose the right to negotiate from the date of deregistration but will still remain on foot in the Federal Court until such time as they are determined by the Court. Validation of past acts and procedures for future acts The CNTA enables a state parliament to validate mining tenements granted prior to the recognition of native title (such grants being classified as either past acts or intermediate period acts) which would otherwise be invalid because of the existence of native title.

PROSPECTUS 2009

81

Past acts and intermediate past acts Mining tenements granted by state governments before 1 January 1994 are past acts and those between 1 January 1994 and 23 December 1996, are intermediate period past acts. Queensland and New South Wales have validated the grant of mining tenements that are past acts and intermediate period past acts. The effect of validation on mining permits and native title depends on the category of grant involved. Grant of freehold estates, for example, which form the background title to many mining permits, extinguishes native title for all purposes. Grants of Mining Leases (unless on freehold tenure) are category C past acts, the validation of which does not extinguish native title, but which suspends its operation for the duration of the permit, provided certain statutory requirements, such as notification and payment of compensation in certain instances, are met. This is called the nonextinguishment principle. Pursuant to the CNTA, the practical impact of native title on permits that are past acts or intermediate period past acts, is minimal. Future Acts Future acts essentially include permits granted on or after 23 December 1996. Mining tenements granted since this date which affect native title rights will be valid if future act procedures have been followed by the relevant parties. Future acts, such as the grant of a Mining Lease, are only permitted under the CNTA if the procedures set out in the CNTA were followed, namely: (a) (b) (c) (d) following the right to negotiate process; or the future acts are pursuant to an Indigenous Land Use Agreement (ILUA); the future acts relate to the exercise of a pre-existing right or the renewal of an existing interest (eg, renewal of a validated mining lease); and the future acts are 'low impact future acts' (the grant of certain exploration licences and permits).

Queensland and New South Wales Legislation The CNTA is given effect in Queensland under the Native Title (Queensland) Act 1993 (QNTA) and in New South Wales, CNTA is given effect under the Native Title (NSW) Act 1994 (NSWNTA). These state acts respectively implement the CNTA and provide a state legislative regime for negotiating with native title parties before the state grants any mining tenement on land over which native title claims have not been extinguished. This is achieved within this framework by providing native title holders and claimants with rights to pursuant to the right to negotiate process, in relation to future acts. The QNTA provides for the validation of past and intermediate period past acts before 23 December 1996, which includes the grant of Mining Leases and renewal of those Mining Leases. Mining Leases fall into a category of past or intermediate past act, namely Category C, in respect of which validation does not extinguish native title, but to which the non-extinguishment principle applies, meaning the rights granted by the Mining Lease prevail over native title rights but do not extinguish them. Pursuant to the NSWNTA, Exploration Licences granted on or after 23 December 1996 are affected by native title rights and permits will only be valid if the CNTA is complied with during the grant process. The state authorities will generally assume that the grant or renewal of Exploration Licences will affect potential native title land and therefore the requirements of the NSWNTA must be satisfied in every case. Applications for grant or renewal of Exploration Licence are therefore generally dealt with in one of two ways, depending on the wishes of the applicant: (a) a title including the Minister's consent condition will be granted or renewed, with the right to negotiate process postponed from the date of grant (or renewal) of title until the time the miner actually wants to explore an area that may be subject to native title, at which time the Minister will initiate the right to negotiate process for that area; or a title free of the Minister's consent condition will be granted after the right to negotiate process has been pursued; if this process results in there being any native title claims over the proposed title area, the application will have the choice of either: (i) (ii) excluding the area of the native title claims from the exploration title (in which case negotiations with the native title parties will not be necessary), or negotiating agreements with the native title parties and the Government to allow the inclusion of the claimed areas in the title.

(b)

Native Title Status of the Queensland Tenements The Queensland Tenements ML 2512, ML 2761, ML 2762 and ML 7506 were granted before 23 December 1996 and fall into a category of validated past act, in respect of which validation that has occurred under the QNTA does not extinguish native title, but to which non-extinguishment principle applies. This means that the rights granted by the Mining Leases prevail over native title rights, but do not extinguish them.

PROSPECTUS 2009

Any native title rights that exist or are granted over the land covered by the Mining Leases are subject to the rights granted in respect of the Mining Leases and will revive upon termination or expiry of the Mining Leases. The renewal of the Mining Leases will, for the purposes of Native Title, be treated in the same manner as the original grants. There are registered ILUAs covering portions of the tenements, but the holder of the Mining Leases and the Company, will not be bound by them as they are not parties to it. Native Title Status of Tenements New South Wales Native title is wholly extinguished in respect of land the subject of freehold, public works or other previous exclusive possession acts. We have not researched the underlying land tenure in respect of the Authorities in order to determine the extent of extinguishment for the purposes of this report. As at the date of this report, our search of the NNTT register indicated that there are no registered native title claims (granted or under application) over the tenements. Claims may be lodged in future however, in which case the procedures set out in the NSWNTA will apply. Environmental Authorities Environmental aspects of the mining industry in Queensland are regulated by the Environmental Protection Authority pursuant to the provisions of the Environmental Protection Act 1994 (Qld) (EP Act). This Act provides for the issuing of environmental authorities for mining and related activities. The EP Act classifies mining activities as either type 1 or type 2, the former being low impact exploration activities and each requiring an environmental authority for mining activities under the EP Act. Each of the Queensland Mining Leases has a corresponding type 2 Environmental Authority on issue, authorising the activities contemplated in the grants of the Mining Leases. In New South Wales, environmental aspects of the mining industry are regulated by the Mining Act 1992 (NSW). No environmental or similar authority is required under the Mining Act for the type of low impact exploration activity permitted in the New South Wales Exploration Licences. Should the Company wish to carry out more invasive exploration activities or apply for mining leases, the Company will (if it exercise the relevant options) have to prepare and file a Surface Disturbance Notice and in the case of mining activity, an Environmental Impact Assessment, in accordance with the Mining Act. Access Rights In respect of the New South Wales Exploration Licences and the Queensland Mining Leases, access to the tenements is not prevented by any national parks or other known impediments. To the extent that the Company cannot gain access to the tenements without crossing land owned or occupied by third parties, the Company will be required to give certain notices and enter into access and compensation agreements with landowners or occupiers over whose land the Company must pass to gain access to the tenements. If agreements cannot be reached, state mining legislation provides for adjudication and setting of compensation payable by the Company to the landowners or occupiers. Aboriginal Heritage The Tenements may be located on land which is subject to protection due to Aboriginal heritage. The principle laws which may apply to the Tenements to protect any Aboriginal heritage are the National Parks and Wildlife Act 1974 (NSW) and the Heritage Act 1977 (NSW) and the Aboriginal Cultural Heritage Act 2003 (Qld). The Acts impose a duty on any person carrying out any activity to take all reasonable and practical measures to ensure that activity does not harm any area or object of Aboriginal cultural heritage and makes it an offence to cause harm to Aboriginal cultural heritage without first obtaining the consent of the Director-General, even when native title has been extinguished. In essence, the Acts preclude the Company from carrying out activities where they are likely to harm Aboriginal cultural heritage. We have not undertaken any searches or investigations as to whether there is or may be any heritage sites within the area of the tenements. It is common practice for an explorer to undertake surveys of any area that may host such sites prior to carrying out any ground disturbing activity. Qualification In providing this report: (a) (b) (c) (d) we have assumed the information, reports and search results provided by various government agencies in Australia are accurate and correctly reflect the particulars of the Tenements to which this report relates; we cannot comment on any obligations of the Company that may arise from agreements that are not registered as a dealing, encumbrance or otherwise noted on the searches we have conducted; the holding of the Tenements is subject to compliance with the terms and conditions and the provisions of the relevant state legislation under which they were granted; we have assumed the accuracy and completeness of any instructions or information which we received from the Company or any of its officers, agents and representatives;

Background Foreign Investment Investment in the Mining Industry

ADDITIONAL INFORMATION

10.1 An overview of Argentinean Foreign Investment and Mining Law

The following information is included primarily to assist investors to better understand the investment and regulatory climate in Argentina, insofar as it relates to Elementos' activities.

subject to certain conditions, to the exchange and tariff systems. Participants may also be eligible for 100% double taxation deductions for the expenses of prospecting and exploration activities, accelerated depreciation, exemption of certain profits from taxation, import duty exemptions and a 3% cap on Provincial royalties. Mining Exploration and Development Regulation Argentina is a federal nation and until 1993, Argentina's mineral resources were administered in a decentralised manner between its 23 Provinces. However, in the mid 1990's, the Provinces entered into an agreement with the Federal Government to standardize mining policies and procedures concerning the application for, and registration of, mineral rights. Each province has its own specific procedural powers within the confines of the Federal Law, which may impact favourably or unfavourably on mining operations within those provinces. Elementos is presently operating on tenements within the San Juan Province, which is considered pro-mining and does not have any undue impediment to the development of mineral resources. The Argentinean Government is currently involved in a programme of standardising industry regulation across the Provinces. Argentina's Mining Code establishes the general regime for the grant of rights to minerals through Government concession. Concessions granted under the Mining Code have the following general characteristics:! They are valid only if established in accordance with the Mining Code. ! A grant of a concession may attract an obligation for landowner compensation, but landowners do not have any veto rights over the grant of the concession or activities conducted on the concession. ! No consideration is payable to the State for a grant. ! Concessions are fully transferable. ! Concessions can be mortgaged. ! Concessions will be subject to environmental management conditions. ! Concessions are subject to a royalty. ! Concessions are liable to forfeiture either by the State, or upon application of other parties, if work and other covenants are not met. Concessions give the holder the right to extract and sell specified minerals subject to an approved plan of operations (e.g. dealing with mining safety, environmental and other matters) and subject to the royalty payable to the Provincial Government. The principal type of exploration concession, the Concesion de exploracion y Cateo, is granted for an approximate 3 year term and places a relatively small number of obligations on the grantee. There are no standard statutory expenditure requirements imposed on a grant, but a grantee will need to provide a work program of proposed exploration activity as part of the process of applying for the grant of a

The population of Argentina is over 36 million, predominantly of Spanish and Italian descent. The country is over 207 million square kilometres in area. Argentina is considered to be highly prospective for minerals, but its mineral exploration and development industry lags well behind its neighbour, Chile. Traditionally, mining has played only a minor role in the country's general economy, but in recent years, with more favourable mining and foreign investment laws, exploration and mining activity has increased markedly and there are several major projects in operation. Major and junior mining companies, principally from Canada and Australia, are now established and working in Argentina. The Directors of Elementos consider that there are still great opportunities for profitable investment in the Argentine mining sector, and since several of the Directors and employees have been involved in Argentina since 2001, the in-house knowledge accumulated over the years assists the Company to identify such highly prospective opportunities.

In 1993, far-reaching changes to Argentina's foreign investment laws were enacted by the Foreign Investment Act. The principal effect of these changes was to remove all restraints on foreign investment, to ensure a freely convertible currency, and permit the repatriation of capital and the remitting profits without restriction. Foreign investment may be undertaken in Argentina by 100% foreign owned companies without prior approval or registration requirements. There are no taxes on equity transactions and a 30% flat tax applies to the taxable income of Argentine and foreign corporations. Further, amortization on major equipment, civil works, infrastructure, and so on for mining projects, is permitted to 60% in the first year, and 20% each in the subsequent two years. Vehicles and other equipment not covered above may be amortized equally over three years. Imports are duty free, provided they are retained within the minerals industry.

Argentina's Mining Investment Law establishes an investment regime which may be utilised by entities undertaking mining activities. The objective of the Mining Investment Law is to provide a guarantee of fiscal stability, as well as various duty and tax exemptions to mining industry participants. A key feature of the regime is the guarantee of project fiscal stability for a period of thirty years from the date of filing of the relevant feasibility study, with the legislation guaranteeing that the total fiscal burden on a mining company participating in the regime may not be the subject of new or increased taxes to those already applicable to it for a period of up to 30 years. The stability also extends,

These concessions (or portions thereof) in turn can, if a mineral deposit is discovered, be converted on application by the grantee, into tenements which allow mining, usually referred to as a Mina.

instalment of a call, then subject to the Corporations Act and ASX 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 ASX Listing Rules or proceedings taken to recover the amount unpaid. 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, ASX Listing Rules or the Corporations Act, the Directors 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. 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. 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 ASX Listing Rules.

10.2 Rights and Liabilities attaching to Shares

The following is a summary of the more important rights and liabilities attaching to the Shares as detailed in the Company's Constitution and their terms of issue. This summary is not exhaustive nor does it constitute a definitive statement of the rights and liabilities of the Shares. A copy of the Company's Constitution is lodged with ASIC and may be obtained from or inspected at an office of ASIC or the Company's registered office during business hours. Share Capital All issued Shares rank equally in all respects. 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, a fraction of a vote equal to the proportion which the amount paid up bears to the total issue price of the contributing ordinary share. Where there is an equality of votes, the chairperson does not have a casting vote. 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 may from time to time determine to distribute by way of dividend, are divisible among the Shareholders in proportion to the Shares held by them respectively, according to the amount paid up (not credited) as paid up on them. Rights on Winding-Up Subject to the rights of holders of shares with special rights in a winding-up (at present there are none), on a winding-up of the Company, all assets which may be legally distributed amongst the members will be distributed in proportion to the Shares held by them respectively, according to the amount paid up or credited as paid up on the Share. Transfer of Shares Shares may be transferred by instrument in any form which complies with the Company's constitution, the Corporations Act, ASX Listing Rules and ASTC Settlement Rules. Shares may be transferred in accordance with ASX Listing Rules and the ASTC Settlement Rules. The Directors may refuse to register a transfer of Shares only in those circumstances permitted by the Company's constitution, ASX Listing Rules and ASTC Settlement Rules. Calls on Shares Where Shares are issued as partly paid, the Directors 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

Under the Company's Constitution the total amount of remuneration paid to all Directors as director fees must not be increased unless authorised by the company in General Meeting. This does not apply to remuneration payable to any Director under any executive service contract with the Company. Directors are entitled to be reimbursed for travelling and other expenses incurred in attending meetings or in relation to the business of the Company. The Constitution of the Company provides that the Directors may be paid, as remuneration for their services, a sum determined from time to time by the Company's Shareholders in general meeting, with that sum to be divided amongst the Directors in such manner and proportion as they agree. An amount of $250,000 per annum has been approved by shareholders.

10.8 Corporate Governance

Incorporation of Corporate Governance Material The Directors are responsible for protecting the rights and interests of the Shareholders through the implementation of sound strategies and action plans and the development of an integrated framework of controls over the Company's resources, functions and assets. General Initially the Company will not have formally constituted committees of the Board of Directors, other than a Remuneration Committee. The Directors do not consider that the Company is of a sufficient size or that its affairs are of such complexity as to justify the formation of special or separate committees. The Board as a whole is able to address the governance aspects of the Company's activities and ensure that it adheres to appropriate ethical standards. This information below outlines the main corporate governance policies which the Directors have adopted. Composition of the Board The Board comprises three Directors. The names, qualifications and relevant experience of each Director are set out in this Prospectus. There is no requirement for any Director's shareholding qualification. Board policy is that the Board will constantly review and monitor its performance. As the Company's activities increase in size, nature and scope, the size of the Board will be reviewed periodically and the Board may seek to appoint persons who, in the opinion of the Board, will provide specialist expertise required for the Board to adequately perform its role. Board Membership The Board acts as a nomination committee. Members of the Board have been brought together to provide a blend of qualifications, skills and national and international experience required for managing a company operating within the mining industry. Appointment and Retirement of Directors The Company's Constitution provides that Directors are subject to retirement by rotation, by order of length of appointment. Retiring Directors are eligible for re-election by shareholders at the annual general meeting of the Company. Duties of Directors Directors are expected to accept all duties and responsibilities associated with the running of a public company, to act in the best interests of the Company and to carry out their duties and responsibilities with due care and diligence. Directors are required to take into consideration conflicts when accepting appointments to other Boards. Accordingly, Directors wishing to accept appointment to other Boards must first seek approval from the Board, approval of which will not be unreasonably withheld.

Independent Professional Advice The Board has determined that individual Directors may, in appropriate circumstances, engage outside advisers at the Company's expense. The engagement of an outside adviser is subject to the prior approval of the Board, which will not be unreasonably withheld. Compensation Arrangements and Remuneration Committee The maximum aggregate amount payable to non-executive Directors as Directors' fees has been set at $250,000 per annum. The Constitution provides that Director's fees can only change pursuant to a resolution at a general meeting. The Company has established a Remuneration Committee comprising two non-executive directors, with the objective of maintaining and reviewing the Company's remuneration policies and practices and reporting to the Board on such matters. An extract of the Remuneration Committee Charter is available on the Company's website www.orocobre.com.au The Board is responsible for reviewing and negotiating the compensation arrangements of senior executives and consultants. Audit and Risk Management Committee The Board acts as an audit and risk management committee. The Company has adopted an Audit & Risk Management Charter setting out the composition, purpose, powers and scope of the audit and risk management committee as well as reporting requirements to the Board as a whole. An extract of this Charter is available at the Company's website, www.orocobre.com.au Internal Management Controls Some of the Company's key assets are located outside Australia. Control over the operations is exercised by its executive directors and exploration managers. Specific control measures have been implemented to manage the distribution of funds in Argentina in relation to activities undertaken there. The Board also monitors the performance of outside consultants engaged from time to time to complete specific projects and tasks. Identifying Significant Business Risks The Board regularly monitors the operational and financial performance of the Company's activities. The Board acting as the Audit and Risk Management Committee, monitors and receives advice on areas of operation and financial risk and considers strategies for appropriate risk management. All operational and financial strategies adopted are aimed at improving the value of the Company's Shares. However, the Directors recognise that mineral exploration and evaluation is inherently risky. ASX Corporate Governance To further enhance ASX listed entities' disclosure of corporate governance issues, the ASX Corporate Governance Council (CGC) was established on 1 August 2002. The CGC was established for the purpose of setting an agreed set of corporate governance standards of best practice for Australian listed entities. The CGC has released its Corporate Governance Principles and Recommendations (ASX Guidelines) which will apply to the Company's financial statements upon listing on ASX. The ASX Guidelines articulate eight core

96

PROSPECTUS 2009

principles that CGC believes underlie good corporate governance. The ASX Guidelines provide that a listed entity's Annual Report is required to disclose its main corporate governance practices and also the extent to which the entity complies with the ASX Guidelines and where it does not, to explain why. The information below outlines the main corporate governance policies of the Company which the directors have adopted, as well as addressing in some detail the ASX Guidelines. Before referring to the specific principles set out in the ASX Guidelines and the steps being taken by the Company to comply with those, the following factors should be noted: Each of the Directors dedicates considerable time and effort to the affairs of the Company. The Directors manage to do so within busy schedules for other work and business commitments and as a consequence, the principal focus of their endeavours (while operating

within a sound base for corporate governance) must necessarily be promotion of the Company's activities and improving shareholder value. Whilst following successful listing, the market capitalisation of the Company will be reasonably significant, the Company does not expect to be included within the ASX 200 upon listing. Accordingly, the ASX Guidelines will not automatically become binding on the Company. That said, the Company is committed to adopting corporate governance policies commensurate with its business activities and has adopted a formal Corporate Governance Charter, setting out the roles and responsibilities of the independent committees described above. It is within the above context that the directors are establishing the appropriate processes to ensure that they are compliant with a number of ASX Guidelines on listing. In the context of those Guidelines, the directors make the following observations in relation to the Company's corporate governance status:
