The Cleveland project is considered to be the highest grade open pit tin resource within Australia.
It contains an indicated resource of 800,000 tonnes at 0.81% tin and 0.27% copper.
Elementos is aiming to start production at Cleveland by expanding the open cut resources with a targeted exploration program.
The company has contracted a local team to line cut on site in accordance with a plan that has received full approval from Mineral Resource Tasmania.
Line cutting is the process of clearing vegetation to allow safe access for the ground magnetic survey crew.
The ground magnetic survey will be carried out on a line spacing of 30 metres, with survey lines constructed perpendicular to the known strike of the mineralisation at Cleveland.
The survey will be across a total of about 32 line kilometres.
The close spaced survey lines will enable the company to collect magnetic data which will assist in accurate targeting for a proposed diamond drilling program in the first quarter of 2017.
Most of Elementos’ peers have seen strong growth (+100%) this year in response to the strengthening tin price.
