EUROPEAN METALS HOLDINGS LIMITED

 

QUARTERLY ACTIVITIES REPORT ENDED 31 DECEMBER 2023

European Metals Holdings Limited (ASX & AIM: EMH, OTCQX: EMHXY, ERPNF and
EMHLF) ("European Metals" or the "Company") is pleased to provide an update on
its activities during the three-month period ending 31 December 2023 (the
"Period") highlighting the continued progress in the development of the
globally significant Cinovec Lithium Project ("the Project" or "Cinovec") in
the Czech Republic.

Successful Battery-Grade pilot programme for Cinovec Lithium Project

During the Period, the Company announced the results of the Lithium Chemical
Plant (LCP) pilot programme, confirming the robustness of the Cinovec LCP
process flowsheet and providing a strong foundation for the execution of the
Cinovec Project.

The pilot programme undertaken at ALS Laboratories in Perth, Western
Australia, set out to confirm the LCP flowsheet (refer to ASX / AIM
announcement of 31 October 2022 "Simplified Extraction Process delivers
exceptionally-clean battery-grade lithium product with improved economics")
and to produce sufficient marketing samples for potential off-takers to test
in their own laboratories.

The pilot programme has achieved these objectives without necessitating any
further development of the LCP process flowsheet.

In doing so, the pilot programme has provided extensive data throughout all of
the LCP process steps. This data contributes to the confirmation of design and
engineering for both the ongoing Definitive Feasibility Study (DFS) and the
post-DFS execution of the Project. (Refer to ASX / AIM announcement dated
9 November 2023)

Extension Granted to all Cinovec Exploration Licenses

Subsequent to the Period, the Company announced the granting of an extension
to all four Cinovec Exploration Licences ("the licences") (refer to ASX / AIM
announcement dated 29 January 2024). These licenses fully cover all three
granted Preliminary Mining Permits ("PMP's") comprising the Cinovec Project.
All four licences have been extended until 31 December 2026. The granting of
this extension follows a comprehensive evaluation by the relevant state
authorities of results achieved to date in exploring the deposit. Plans for
future exploration work, including further resource drilling, and compliance
with conditions set by the Czech Ministry of Environment were also assessed.

The extension was required as the granted PMP's, whilst conveying the sole and
exclusive rights to apply for a Final Mining Permit, do not allow for further
drilling until the final mining area is granted. As the Company plans to
conduct further metallurgical and measured resource drilling, an extension to
the exploration licenses due to expire in December 2023 was sought.

The Licence extensions apply to the Exploration Areas Cinovec, Cinovec II,
Cinovec III and Cinovec IV, which fully cover the East, South and NorthWest
PMP's.

DFS Update

The Company advises that the delivery of the Definitive Feasibility Study
("DFS") for the Cinovec Lithium Project in the Czech Republic ("Cinovec" or
the "Project") is now scheduled for Q1 2024. Following detailed analysis,
approval has been granted to a formal request from Geomet and the Project
study team of DRA Global (Lithium Processing DFS) and Bara Consulting (Mining
DFS) for a timetable extension to complete capital and operating cost
estimation and project implementation scheduling.

Both Geomet and the Company recognise the importance of ensuring accurate and
comprehensive engineering and cost data for the DFS, as it forms the
foundation of the study's findings and recommendations. In this regard, the
Company believes it is prudent to allow the necessary time to complete the
study to the highest standard to ensure the delivery of a robust, accurate DFS
that conveys the full economic and resource potential of the Project. The
Company does not expect that the extension of the study period will impact the
overall project timeline, with the permitting process already well underway.
(Refer to ASX / AIM Announcement dated 22 December 2023).

The Company notes the current weakness in global lithium prices, however
remains confident in the longer-term outlook based on the significant growth
in Electric Vehicle production and other energy storage applications. This is
particularly true in Europe, our area of operations. Benchmark Minerals, a
recognised world leader in battery supply chain and energy transition
intelligence, forecast a long-term incentive price for lithium carbonate in
excess of USD 28,000/tonne.

BACKGROUND INFORMATION ON CINOVEC

PROJECT OVERVIEW

Cinovec Lithium Project

Geomet s.r.o. controls the mineral exploration licenses awarded by the Czech
State over the Cinovec Lithium Project. Geomet has been granted a preliminary
mining permit by the Ministry of Environment and the Ministry of Industry. The
company is owned 49% by EMH and 51% by CEZ a.s. through its wholly owned
subsidiary, SDAS. Cinovec hosts a globally significant hard rock lithium
deposit with a total Measured Mineral Resource of 53.3Mt at 0.48% Li(2)O,
Indicated Mineral Resource of 360.2Mt at 0.44% Li(2)O and an Inferred Mineral
Resource of 294.7Mt at 0.39% Li(2)O containing a combined 7.39 million tonnes
Lithium Carbonate Equivalent (refer to the Company's ASX/AIM release dated 13
October 2021) (Resource Upgrade at Cinovec Lithium Project).

An initial Probable Ore Reserve of 34.5Mt at 0.65% Li(2)O reported 4 July 2017
(Cinovec Maiden Ore Reserve - Further Information) has been declared to cover
the first 20 years mining at an output of 22,500tpa of lithium carbonate
(refer to the Company's ASX/AIM release dated 11 July 2018) (Cinovec
Production Modelled to Increase to 22,500tpa of Lithium Carbonate).

This makes Cinovec the largest hard rock lithium deposit in Europe and the
fifth largest non-brine deposit in the world.

The deposit has previously had over 400,000 tonnes of ore mined as a trial
sub-level open stope underground mining operation.

On 19 January 2022, EMH provided an update to the 2019 PFS Update, conducted
by specialist independent consultants, which indicates a post-tax NPV of
USD1.938B and a post-tax IRR of 36.3% and confirmed that the Cinovec Project
is a potential low operating cost producer of battery-grade lithium hydroxide
or battery grade lithium carbonate as markets demand. It confirmed the deposit
is amenable to bulk underground mining (refer to the Company's ASX/AIM release
dated 19 January 2022) (PFS Update delivers outstanding results).
Metallurgical test-work has produced both battery-grade lithium hydroxide and
battery-grade lithium carbonate at excellent recoveries. Cinovec is centrally
located for European end-users and is well serviced by infrastructure, with a
sealed road adjacent to the deposit, rail lines located 5 km north and 8 km
south of the deposit, and an active 22 kV transmission line running to the
historic mine. The deposit lies in an active mining region.

The economic viability of Cinovec has been enhanced by the recent strong
increase in demand for lithium globally, and within Europe specifically.

There are no other material changes to the original information and all the
material assumptions continue to apply to the forecasts.

LITHIUM CLASSIFICATION AND CONVERSION FACTORS

Lithium grades are normally presented in percentages or parts per million
(ppm). Grades of deposits are also expressed as lithium compounds in
percentages, for example as a percent lithium oxide (Li(2)O) content or
percent lithium carbonate (Li(2)CO(3)) content.

Lithium carbonate equivalent ("LCE") is the industry standard terminology for,
and is equivalent to, Li(2)CO(3). Use of LCE is to provide data comparable
with industry reports and is the total equivalent amount of lithium carbonate,
assuming the lithium content in the deposit is converted to lithium carbonate,
using the conversion rates in the table included below to get an equivalent
Li(2)CO(3) value in percent. Use of LCE assumes 100% recovery and no process
losses in the extraction of Li(2)CO(3) from the deposit.

Lithium resources and reserves are usually presented in tonnes of LCE or Li.

The standard conversion factors are set out in the table below:
