It has JORC measured and indicated resource of 9.34mt at 0.55% tin, and inferred resource of 3.2mt at 0.52 % tin.
The project, which has a concession package covering an area of 14.51km², has open-cut mining potential, as well as access to development infrastructure.
Under the terms of the agreement, Elementos will issue one billion fully paid shares to Eurotin’s shareholders in consideration for all of the issued and outstanding shares of Eurotin’s Spanish subsidiary Minas de Estano de Espana (MESPA).
