Estrella Resources Clears Way to Drill Untested Timor-Leste Copper-Gold Dome
Elementos Gets Green Light for 3,600m Drilling to Grow Cleveland Tin and Tungsten
Elementos Cleveland Tin-Tungsten Drilling is set to kick off in early November 2026, with a 3,600m program chasing a tungsten Exploration Target of up to 90Mt and a never-before-drilled tin-copper corridor in Tasmania.
Key Takeaways
- Elementos has approval for a 3,600m diamond drilling program at its 100%-owned Cleveland Project in Tasmania, starting early November 2026.
- The Foleys Zone tungsten Exploration Target of 32Mt at 0.24% WO₃ to 90Mt at 0.17% WO₃ dwarfs the existing 8.49Mt Inferred resource, but remains conceptual until drilled.
- A previously undrilled tin-copper corridor between the Halls B and Battery Lodes is a second target, adjacent to ground that produced for 27 years.
- One 1,200m parent hole and five daughter holes from a single pad aims to test multiple targets while limiting surface disturbance.
- The announcement does not disclose drilling cost, funding or assay timing, and this is not a final investment decision.
Frequently Asked Questions
What is an Exploration Target in mining?
An Exploration Target is a conceptual range of tonnes and grade that has not been estimated as a Mineral Resource. There has been insufficient exploration to define a resource, and there is no certainty that further exploration will deliver one.
What is Elementos drilling at the Cleveland Project in Tasmania?
Elementos has approval for a 3,600m diamond drilling program targeting tin, copper and tungsten extensions, starting in early November 2026. It comprises one 1,200m parent hole and five daughter holes.
How big is the tungsten target at Cleveland's Foleys Zone?
The Foleys Zone holds an Inferred tungsten resource of 8.49Mt at 0.24% WO₃, plus an Exploration Target of 32Mt at 0.24% to 90Mt at 0.17% WO₃. The target is conceptual and separate from the existing resource.
What are parent and daughter holes in diamond drilling?
A parent hole is the main hole drilled from a surface pad, and daughter holes branch off it at different orientations. This lets several targets be tested from one location, reducing pads and surface disturbance.
What happens after the Cleveland drilling finishes?
The core will be logged, sampled and assayed, then used in updated Mineral Resource estimates, geological modelling, geotechnical assessment and metallurgical test work. The announcement does not disclose assay timing.
