About Elemental Minerals Limited

Elemental Minerals Limited (ASX: ELM) is an advanced stage mineral exploration and development company whose primary asset is 97%-owned Sintoukola Potash SARL (SP) in the RoC. SP holds 100% ownership of the Sintoukola Exploration Permit and 100% of the Kola Mining Lease, within which the Kola, Dougou and Yangala Projects are located.

These properties are easily accessed, being located approximately 80km to the north of the city of Pointe Noire. The Projects have the potential to be among the world's lowest-cost potash producers and their location near the Congolese coast of Central West Africa offers a transport cost advantage to key Brazilian and Asian fertilizer markets. The three projects are at varying stages of development; the Kola sylvinite Project is the Company's lead project.

Kola is a large sylvinite deposit, for which a Pre-Feasibility Study (PFS) defined Proven and Probable Reserves of 152 Mt of sylvinite ore1 with an average grade of 31.7% KCl to be mined by conventional underground methods (at a depth of between 200 and 300 m), for a full scale production of 2 Mtpa Muriate of Potash (MoP) by 2024. A Mining License and ESIA approval for Kola were granted in August 20132.

The Dougou Deposit is 15 km southwest of Kola and is a very large carnallitite deposit with a Measured and Indicated Potash Mineral Resource of 1.1 billion tonnes grading 20.6% KCl (at a depth of between 400 and 600 metres) hosted by 35-40 metres of carnallitite within 4 flat-lying seams3. A Scoping Study was completed by ERCOSPLAN of Germany in February 20154. This Study indicates that a low capital cost, low operating cost (Life of Mine operating cost of US$68 per tonne MOP), quick to production carnallite5 solution mine can be established at Dougou, taking advantage of the deposit quality and availability of cheap energy in the RoC.

The Yangala Sylvinite Prospect lies immediately west of Dougou. At Yangala, the Company has drilled two holes, both intersecting a flat-lying layer of over 4 to 4.5 metres thickness with a grade of between 57 and 60% KCl, a candidate for the world's highest grading potash seam6. An Exploration Target of 235 to 470 Mt grading 55 to 60 % KCl was announced on 27th January 20157.

Elemental's management team has a record of bringing quality African mineral projects to production. For more information contact us or visit www.elementalminerals.com.
