Review of project portfolio

The Group has a portfolio of assets with substantial economic potential. The portfolio consists of Mindoro Nickel

in the Philippines and a minority stake in addition to an option to become owner of 51% of the issued shares in

Ambershaw Metallics Inc (AMI) in Canada. The Company also holds licenses for the Nordli Molybdenum project in

Norway.

Asset-backed Token Project

On 27 October 2017, the Company announced that it had entered into a Terms of Agreement with Harmonychain

AS to explore the issuance of asset-backed Tokens. The Tokens will be based on blockchain technology and can be

exchangeable into the Group’s commodities or products derived thereof. In essence, the asset-backed Tokens

could be viewed as an advance sale of the commodities. For the Group this means that funding may be received

before the commodities are produced and the interest-free funding may be used to start production or expand

production (or other purposes) without any dilution for the shareholders of Element. The Token holders can

decide if and when they want physical delivery, even far into the future, giving an advantage to existing alternatives

in terms of securing exposure to future delivery of the commodities. This is one of the first Tokens which is backed

by a physical commodity and the credit risk of expensive middlemen is removed with the Blockchain technology

applied.

In a rapid changing world of technology there have been a lot of developments in token- and blockchain based

technology. This technology provides a fast and secure transaction structure with a verifiable, publicly available

audit trail. Almost all tokens and "coins", like Bitcoin, are not backed by any physical assets in comparison to the

Tokens Element is contemplating to issue.

The Group is currently working on structuring the issuance of Tokens for the iron ore owned by Ambershaw

Metallics Inc. The Group will update the market on the progress as soon as possible.

Ambershaw Metallics Inc – Canada

AMI is a metals and mining company incorporated under the laws of the Province of British Columbia, Canada.

AMI is controlled by LHR and it has specific experience in magnetite mining and pelletising technology. AMI intends

to provide the North American and international steel industry with DR-grade magnetite pellets suitable for DRI

(Direct Reduced Iron) production and Iron Ore condensate.

DRI is used by EAFs as a substitute for scrap steel trading in excess of US$ 280/t. It commands a significant premium

to standard iron ore. DRI production is heavily dependent on the supply of high quality iron ore pellets, which are

currently in short supply. End-users have to pay premiums for pellets with a higher Fe content and a further

premium for magnetite. DRI production is forecast to grow to 200Mt by 2030, up from 73Mt produced in 2015.

There is an acute shortage of DR-grade pellets in the North American Steel market.

AMI holds the Bending Lake iron deposit in NW Ontario, Canada, which hosts a NI 43-101 compliant and valuable

resource of 336 Mt magnetite ore upgradable to 68% Fe. The NPV (10) of the asset is USD 499 million. Comparable

iron ore producers in Canada are currently valued at ca. USD 1/ton.

In AMI’s mining plan the ore is made into concentrate, which in turn may be pelletized and shipped to customers.

With the rise of 65% Fe concentrate prices in the US steel market, it has become attractive to start production of

both concentrate for sale, as well as pellets. AMI expect to be able to sell concentrate by the end of H1 2018, given

sufficient financing. The Group is providing financing and thus gradually increasing its ownership in AMI.

For further information about AMI see http://ambershaw.ca/

In connection with the Group’s investment in convertible notes issued by AMI, the Group obtained an option to

become holder of 51% of AMI by issuance of new shares. On 23 May 2017, the Group acquired 5% of the shares

outstanding in AMI through a share swap agreement with Legacy Hill Resources (LHR) issuing 2,130,266 Element

shares as settlement. The Group has provided a convertible loan to AMI in the amount of USD 950,000 convertible

into approximately 9% of the shares in AMI.

During the third quarter and the subsequent period the Group has continued to work closely with LHR, the

manager of AMI, to develop the budgets and proceeding with plans for production of concentrate by the end of

the second quarter 2018 and the longer term production of pellets. The Group has provided additionally USD

150,000 in funding through an increase of the convertible loan to AMI.

In July 2017 AMI completed successful initial test production of pellets at LHR's test facilities in England. Initial

quality control tests indicate that AMI’s pellets pass all compressive strength, drop and RDI simulation tests,

meeting all the required parameters for traditionally produced pellets.

Mindoro Nickel project – The Philippines

According to reports by Bloomberg, Reuters, and the London Metal Exchange several blue-chip firms started to

absorb the changes taking place in the nickel market during the fall of 2017. UBS Bank is expecting 15 million

electric vehicles by 2025. Porsche states that electric cars with high-driving ranges are fueling demand for nickel-

rich batteries. Trafigura & Glencore claim that nickel production will increase by 1.2 million tons by 2030, equal to

more than half of current global output, to keep up with demand from the battery industry. Nickel currently trades

at $11,900 per ton, up 18 percent for the year. The previous peak in nickel was $51,600 per ton in 2007. With the

stockpiles gone the upside seems substantial.

Mindoro Nickel is a nickel-laterite deposit, which originally was discovered by the Group in 1996. It is one of the

largest undeveloped nickel deposits in the world, with more than 350 million tonnes mineral resources defined,

holding 3 million tonnes nickel. A Definitive Feasibility Study concluded that Mindoro Nickel could be a substantial

low-cost producer of nickel for more than 100 years.

During 2017 Sunbright Consulting has performed several laboratory tests with a CRSM technology, which is a low

energy consumption, low Opex and CapEx technology, which indicate that it is capable of upgrading the existing

grade of the Mindoro ore into concentrate. Upgrading tests of the limonite and saprolite ore showed significant

upgrades to the Nickel ratio. The laboratory reports indicate that the Mindoro Nickel deposit may produce 600,000

tonnes of nickel concentrate per module with a capex of USD 26-35 million. The results show profitability with a

nickel price at 2.85 USD/lb and an EBITDA (before royalties) of USD 28-32 million p.a. with the current market

price of 5 USD/lb and mining only 0.5% of the total recorded resources p.a. Pending pilot testing and subsequent

full scale testing of the CRSM technology the Group expect that the annual production can be increased by

investing in several modules.

The Group is experiencing interest from various parties showing interest in Mindoro Nickel and continues to have

an open approach to divestment of the asset, through sale or other forms of partnerships.

The Group is working on increasing the potential of its Mindoro Nickel asset through realization or otherwise. The

Group interprets the political climate to be changing in a positive direction following the appointment of the new

Secretary of Environment and Natural Resources in May 2017.

Nordli Molybdenum – Norway

The Nordli molybdenum project is a porphyry-style molybdenum deposit which is considered the largest

undeveloped molybdenum deposit in mainland Europe known today, having inferred resources of over 200 million

tonnes at 0.13 per cent MoS2. The company maintains its licenses for exploration but due to market pricing of

molybdenum there is no ongoing activity in the project.

Outlook

The key focus of the Group is to progress with issuing its asset-backed Tokens. The Group is currently working on

the terms of the Whitepaper in cooperation with Harmonychain, AMI and other advisors. The goal of the Group is

to complete the Whitepaper as soon as possible.

The Group continues to focus on its investment and increase its investment in AMI. The Group currently owns 5%

of the shares in AMI and has the right to convert the convertible loan to AMI into approx. 9% additional

shareholding. The Group will increase its involvement on the operational level of AMI through participation on the

Board of Directors.

The Group is working to increase the potential of its Mindoro Nickel asset through realization or other forms of

partnerships. The Group view the political climate to be changing in a positive direction following the appointment

of the new Secretary of Environment and Natural Resources in May 2017.

1 Information about the Group

Element ASA is a public limited liability company incorporated and domiciled in Norway. The Company’s office

address is Karenslyst Allé 53, 0279 Oslo, Norway. The Company’s shares are listed on the Oslo Stock Exchange.

As at 30 September 2017, the Group’s main activity is to identify assets close to or in production for investment.

Current projects are related to Ambershaw Metallics Inc (AMI) in Canada, and the Mindoro Nickel Project in the

Philippines. Based on pure accounting principles the Mindoro Nickel Project is classified as “Asset held for sale”.

The Group has issued a convertible loan to Ambershaw, holds 5% of the issued shares, and holds an option to

become holder of 51% of AMI.

2 Basis for preparation of the financial statements

This condensed consolidated interim financial information has been prepared in accordance with IAS 34, ’Interim

financial reporting’. The condensed consolidated interim financial information should be read in conjunction with

the annual financial statements for the year ended 31 December 2016, which have prepared in accordance with

International Financial Reporting Standards (IFRS) as adopted by the EU.

3 Accounting principles

The same accounting principles and methods of calculation have been applied as in the Annual Report for 2016.

Future effects of new accounting standards were described in the Consolidated Financial Statements for 2016.

4 Estimates

The preparation of interim financial statements requires management to make judgements, estimates and

assumptions that affect the application of accounting policies and the reported amounts of assets and liabilities,

income and expense. Actual results may differ from these estimates.

In preparing these condensed consolidated interim financial statements, the significant judgements made by

management in applying the Group’s accounting policies and the key sources of estimation uncertainty were the

same as those that applied to the consolidated financial statements for the year ended 31 December 2016.

5 Financial risk management

General

The Group is exposed to a number of types of financial market risk arising from its normal business activities:

• Credit risk

• Liquidity risk

• Currency risk

The corporate management monitors the Group’s most important financial risks and assesses whether measures

are required to reduce a specific risk if a need to do so is identified.

Credit risk

Credit risk is the risk of financial loss to the Group if a counterparty to a financial instrument fails to meet its

contractual obligations. Most of the Group’s financial assets are bank deposits and other receivables.

Credit risk related to bank deposits is considered limited as the Group uses only banks that international credit

rating firms consider having high creditworthiness. A large proportion of the Group’s cash is placed on high-

interest-bearing account with DNB Bank in Norway.

Liquidity risk

Liquidity risk is the risk that the Group becomes unable to fulfil its financial obligations when they fall due. The

Group seeks a cash management that ensures that there is sufficient available cash to fulfil the Group’s obligations

without involving unacceptable losses or a risk of damaging the Group‘s reputation.

As of 30 September 2017, the Group did not have sufficient cash to fund the company for 12 months. On 4 October

2017, the Company entered into an agreement for a NOK 50 million zero coupon convertible loan facility with

connected Warrants (the Convertible Note Facility) from Blue Ocean Advisors Inc. (Blue Ocean). On 7 November

2017, the Group raised NOK 15 million through a drawdown of 3 tranches of the Convertible Note Facility. The

Convertible Note Facility provides the Company with access to cash if the Company's liquidity position necessitates

it.

Under the Convertible Note Facility, Element has the right to draw up to ten (10) tranches (each a “Tranche”) of 5

MNOK in convertible bonds (including the three Tranches already drawn down) over a period of three years. The

Tranches may be drawn following a “cool down period” of maximum 30 days following issuance of any single

Tranche. Each Tranche entitles Blue Ocean to warrants, as set out below. Blue Ocean is also entitled to require

that Element draws minimum two (2) Tranches, but may choose not to draw the remaining Tranches if for instance

other means of financing at better terms becomes available.

The conversion price under the Convertible bonds shall equal 90% of the lowest daily VWAP of the ten (10) trading

days preceding the day the notice of conversion is received by the Company. The convertible bonds are convertible

at the option of Blue Ocean, but will automatically convert twelve (12) months after the issue date (i.e. at the

maturity date) if not already converted at that point in time. Each Tranche triggers payment of a cash fee of 5% of

the amount drawn.

The Company shall issue Warrants in respect of each Tranche giving Blue Ocean the right to a number of shares

equaling 50% of the loan amount under a Tranche divided by an amount corresponding to 90% of the lowest daily

VWAP of the Company's shares in a period of 10 trading days prior to the date Element makes a draw down of a

Tranche. The exercise price for the Warrants shall equal 120% of the lowest daily VWAP during the ten (10) trading

days preceding the notice of drawdown by the Company. Blue Ocean is required to exercise 50% of the Warrants

of each Tranche if the weekly VWAP of the shares over five (5) consecutive trading days exceeds 130% of the

exercise price. The exercise period for the Warrants is three (3) years from the date of issue.

In addition, the Group has a share subscription facility with GEM Global Yield Fund in the amount of NOK 80 million.

Under the share subscription facility, and subject to its terms, GEM Global Yield Fund undertakes to subscribe to

the Group’s ordinary shares upon the Group’s exercise of a Draw Down Notice. The Group will control the timing

and maximum amount of any Draw Down, and has the right, not the obligation, to draw down on the full

commitment amount up to NOK 80 million.

GEM Global Yield Fund is obliged to honor the draw down request from the Group based upon a subscription price

per share equal to 90% of the volume weighted average price ("VWAP") of the shares during a pricing period of

15 consecutive trading days following the draw down notice (the “Pricing Period”). The Group shall set a minimum

subscription price for which the shares will be issued. The Group may change the minimum subscription price at

every draw down. The draw down amount in each subscription notice shall not exceed 1,000 per cent of the

average daily trading volume during the fifteen trading days immediately preceding the date of the relevant

subscription notice, and as such the availability of this facility is dependent on the liquidity of the Company's

shares.

As a part of the share subscription agreement with GEM Global Yield Fund, Group has issued 2 125 000 warrants

to GEM Global Yield Fund with a strike price of NOK 2.37 per share. The Group recorded a financial cost related to

the warrant issue amounting to USD 263 thousand.

As a condition for entering into the convertible bond arrangement with Blue Ocean, the share subscription facility

provided by GEM Global Yield Fund was replaced in its entirety and on the same terms by Blue Ocean, without

any additional cost to the company.

Currency risk

The Group is exposed to currency risk relating to costs, receivables and liabilities in currency other than the

functional currencies for its entities, which are NOK and PHP. Foreign exchange transactions are mainly in USD. At

present, the Group does not utilize financial instruments to handle its currency risk. However, the Group regularly

assesses whether there is a need to convert currency in order reduce any currency risk that may arise.

In addition, the Group‘s balance sheet is exposed to exchange rate movements between the functional currencies

and the presentation currency (USD). The majority of the Group’s cash and cash equivalents are in NOK.

The following table shows the exposure of the group’s main financial assets in currencies other than the

presentation currency.

The tables show the effect on the Group’s equity as at 30 September 2017 if the specified currencies had

appreciated/depreciated by 10% and all other variables remained constant.

resources in the Philippines, Canada and Norway. The Group’s primary activity is the Mindoro Nickel project in the

Philippines and Ambershaw Metallics Inc in Canada. The Group also has the Hurdal Molybdenum project in

Norway.

Since 31 December 2015, the Group has classified the segment Exploration and evaluation of mineral resources

in the Philippines as “Asset held for sale”. Loss before and after tax for the segment is the same as for the
