en.Wedoany.com Reported - Elementos (ASX:ELT), through its wholly owned subsidiary Minas de Estaño de España SLU (MESPA), has been granted three new mineral exploration permits via a public tender by the Junta de Andalucía, becoming the largest landholder in the region. The company is exploring opportunities to expand the development of tin and other critical minerals around the Oropesa project.

The newly granted permits, Laurencia, Pascuala, and San Jose, enable Elementos to immediately access areas along strike close to the defined tin-zinc mineral resources and tin reserves. Regional reconnaissance work indicates that these areas share similar geological characteristics with Oropesa.

Elementos Managing Director Joe David stated that the granting of the new exploration permits is based on the company's continued confidence in the mineral prospectivity of the local Guadiato Valley region, consistent with the area's long history of base metal mining. The geological team has utilized remote sensing technology, field assessments, and evaluation of government datasets—including historical drill core stored at the core repository of the Instituto Geológico y Minero de España (IGME)—to identify compelling exploration targets. These permits provide a pathway to increase tin and EU critical mineral resources, offering the potential to extend project life or create new standalone projects.

The Laurencia and Pascuala permits are located along strike to the west of the existing Oropesa exploration license, within the same geological sequence hosting the Oropesa tin-zinc resources. Soil sampling data from the San Jose permit indicates the area is prospective for a suite of critical minerals, including rare earths, lithium, tin, tungsten, fluorite, and copper.

Elementos is a tin and critical minerals development company committed to becoming a major supplier to global technology and electrification markets, with its flagship asset being the Oropesa tin project in Spain.
