Interim results and M&A strategy update

 

European Green Transition (AIM: EGT), a company which aims to capitalise on
the opportunities created by the green energy transition in Europe, announces
its unaudited results for the six months ended 30 June 2025.

 

Highlights

·    Extension of the Olserum Rare Earth Elements ("REE") project
licenses in Sweden until June 2029, following the successful completion of the
Olserum REE drill programme in H2 2024 which confirmed the district scale
potential for REEs at Olserum

in Sweden for a further three years, now valid until March 2028

·   Secured a six-month extension to the Altan Carbon Credit project
option agreement at no additional cost as discussions progress with key
stakeholders to assess the near-term revenue potential of the project

·  Positive engagement with multiple parties regarding the sale and/or
partnership of EGT's exploration assets amid positive market tailwinds as the
Company continues to focus its resources away from natural resources and
mining to focus on revenue-generating businesses

·   EGT remains well capitalised with £2.9 million cash (as at 30 June
2025) with no debt or committed costs

·   Cathal Friel, the Company's co-founder and largest shareholder,
assumed the role of Non-Executive Chairman in mid-April 2025 and transitioned
to the Executive Chairman role from 30 June 2025, where he is leading EGT's
M&A strategy

·    Daniel Akselson remains on the Board as Non-Executive Director and
continues to chair the Audit Committee

 

M&A strategy update

EGT has identified and continues to engage with a range of distressed,
revenue-generating acquisition targets available at attractive valuations.
This is in line with EGT's previously stated strategy to reallocate its
resources towards acquiring revenue generating businesses - announced
alongside Cathal Friel's appointment as Chair on 4 June 2025. Given the
uncertainty and challenging long-term prospects faced by many businesses
focused on the green economy, EGT is also evaluating opportunities in other
sectors alongside its existing pipeline of green economy opportunities. This
includes areas in which EGT's management team has extensive experience in
transforming distressed businesses into sustainable, profitable companies. As
a result, the Board believes that this may be the optimal approach for
allocating EGT's capital resources and delivering long-term, sustainable
returns to shareholders, therefore will continue to evaluate opportunities
beyond the green economy.

 

Cathal Friel, Co-founder and Executive Chairman, commented:

 

"We continue to execute on our strategy to reallocate our resources away from
exploration and mining towards acquiring and transforming distressed,
revenue-generating businesses. Over the past six months we have made
significant progress in identifying and engaging with potential acquisition
targets.  We continue to see a range of promising acquisition opportunities
across the green economy and other sectors. Given our strong track record of
transforming distressed businesses, we will evaluate these opportunities and
prioritise deals where we can deliver sustainable, long-term returns for our
shareholders.

 

Elsewhere across our exploration and mining portfolio, we have successfully
extended the key licenses for our Olserum REE and Pajala Copper-Graphite
projects in Sweden, ensuring these assets remain well-positioned for potential
sale or partnership opportunities. The Olserum REE project in particular
continues to attract interest with REE prices increasing substantially in
recent months, as ongoing geopolitical uncertainty has created significant and
global disruption to critical industries such as automobiles, defence and
renewables. The U.S. Government's direct investment in Mountain Pass Materials
highlights the urgent global need to address the critical supply shortage, and
bodes well for the potential of our Olserum REE project's role in helping to
secure Europe's rare earth supply chains.

 

I recently stepped into the role of Executive Chairman of EGT, and I look
forward to supporting the Company in its next phase of growth. As co-founder
and the largest shareholder, my interests are fully aligned with those of our
shareholders, and I am confident that the team can leverage its extensive
M&A experience to replicate our success of transforming small-cap
companies through M&A."

Executive Chairman's Statement

for the six months ended 30 June 2025

 

Introduction

 

I am pleased to present the Interim Results for European Green Transition plc
(EGT) for the first six months of 2025.

 

I was appointed Executive Chairman in June 2025, I am delighted to have
assumed this role at such a pivotal stage in the Company's development. As
co-founder and the largest shareholder of EGT, my interests are closely
aligned with those of our shareholders and I am confident in our ability to
execute our M&A-led strategy, focused on acquiring distressed, revenue
generating businesses with the objective of unlocking significant value for
our shareholders.

 

As we continue to transition the business away from mining and natural
resources, we remain focussed on generating value from our existing portfolio
of European mining projects, particularly the Olserum REE project in Sweden,
which has the potential to contribute significantly to the supply of REEs in
Europe. We are actively seeking to monetise these projects through sale or
partnership with third parties as we look to realise further value for our
shareholders.

 

M&A Update

 

During the period, EGT continued to advance its acquisition strategy, with a
focus on engaging with distressed, revenue-generating businesses across the UK
and Ireland. The current market environment, characterised by uncertainty
within the green economy sector, presents a unique opportunity for EGT to
acquire attractive businesses at favourable valuations. We continue to
progress these conversations, working closely with the respective management
teams to develop a roadmap to transform these targets into profitable,
cash-generative businesses that will drive value for all stakeholders.

 

In addition to our focus on the green economy, EGT has identified a number of
promising opportunities in other sectors where our leadership team holds a
proven track record of delivering transformational growth in distressed
businesses. The Board is confident that this approach represents the optimal
deployment of capital and as a result, EGT will continue to assess
opportunities outside the green economy, where relevant.

 

The Group remains debt-free and well capitalised, with £2.9 million cash as
at 30 June 2025 and no further committed expenditure on mining projects.
Supported by a capital-light structure and an experienced team, EGT retains
the flexibility to act decisively as attractive opportunities materialise.

 

Olserum Rare Earths Project

 

As outlined at IPO, EGT's intention is not to develop its exploration mining
projects through to production, rather our focus has been to position our
exploration mining projects for sale or partnership and generate an attractive
return for EGT shareholders. We have made strong progress in recent months,
specifically extending our key licenses for the Olserum REE project to June
2029.

 

The strategic importance of REEs (rare earth elements) continues to remain
highly relevant, reflecting their critical role in renewable energy,
automotive and defence supply chains. Over the past six months, rare earths
have moved firmly to the forefront of global strategic agendas. China remains
the dominant force in the refining and processing stages, accounting for more
than two-thirds of global production and approximately 90% of finished rare
earth magnets. This concentration of capability has become a key area of focus
for governments and industries worldwide. Notably, the US Government has acted
decisively to strengthen its domestic supply chain through a $400 million
investment in MP Materials Corp., the operator of the Mountain Pass mine in
California. Shortly thereafter, Apple committed a further $500 million
investment in MP Materials to secure long-term access to US-sourced rare
earths.

 

With no active rare earth mines currently operating in Europe, there is an
urgent need to establish secure supply for critical minerals essential to the
region's green transition and industrial resilience. Both the European Union
and national governments are actively pursuing strategies to develop domestic
supply chains, and we believe the Olserum project is well positioned to play a
key role in this emerging landscape.

 

Rare earth prices reached a two-year high in August 2025, driven by
constrained supply dynamics. These market conditions, combined with the
results of our 2024 Olserum drill programme-which confirmed the district-scale
potential of the REE system at Olserum-position the project strongly for
ongoing sale and partnership discussions. We look forward to providing further
updates as these discussions progress.

 

Pajala Copper-Graphite Project

 

The Pajala project in northern Sweden continues to generate strong interest,
supported by robust copper prices and the project's significant copper and
graphite potential. The extension of project licences to March 2028 reinforces
our ability to realise value through sale or partnership, consistent with the
strategic approach we have applied to the Olserum REE project. This positions
Pajala as a further opportunity to deliver value for shareholders as market
conditions evolve.

 

Altan Carbon Credit Project

 

We continue to evaluate the near-term revenue potential of our carbon credit
project at Altan Farm in Donegal, Ireland. During H1 25, we successfully
extended our option agreement by a further six months to November 2025 at no
additional cost. The project is designed to work collaboratively with
landowners across Ireland to develop a scalable and capital-efficient model
for generating carbon and biodiversity credits through peatland
rehabilitation. The launch of the Irish Peatland Standard in early 2025 has
established a supportive regulatory framework for projects such as Altan.
Peatland restoration in Ireland continues to attract growing corporate demand
with leading technology companies, notably Meta, Microsoft and Google,
recently pledging €3 million to finance peatland restoration across 1,100
acres of degraded peatland sites in the Wicklow mountains, near Dublin. We
continue to engage actively with key stakeholders to advance our Altan project
and look forward to updating shareholders in due course.

 

Outlook

 

EGT remains well capitalised and fully focused on executing our disciplined
M&A-driven strategy. We are confident that the foundations established at
the Olserum REE and Pajala Copper-Graphite projects will support the
realisation of their value, while our continued pursuit of revenue-generating,
distressed acquisitions across multiple sectors positions the Company to
deliver sustainable long-term returns for shareholders.

 

We are grateful to our shareholders for their continued support and look
forward to providing updates on our progress throughout the remainder of 2025
and beyond.

the actual cash received on fund-raising less any costs associated with the
fund-raising. See Note 3 for details on the restatement of the retained
earnings balance as at 30 June 2024

 

Reverse acquisition reserve

This arises as a result of the reverse acquisition by European Green Metals
Ltd of European Green Transition plc in March 2024, which was completed to
facilitate the IPO.

 

Share option reserve

A share option reserve of £40,805 has been created following the granting of
share options in European Green Transition plc on its admission to AIM on 8
April 2024.

 

Foreign currency reserve

The presentation currency of the Group is GBP£. This reserve arises from the
translation of the subsidiaries which are denominated in Euro and SEK into
GBP£ on consolidation.

 

Retained Earnings

and its subsidiaries. See Note 3 for details on the restatement of the

9.     Capital commitments

The Group had no capital commitments at 30 June 2025 or at 31 December 2024.

The exploration projects are all held under exploration licences, which are
due for renewal in future years. These renewals will incur modest associated
renewal fees. There are various specific costs relating to the continuance of
business activities including staffing and consultancy costs, office costs and
various sundry items including warehousing commitments for equipment and core
storage.

No provision has been made in the financial statements for these amounts as
the expenditure items are expected to be incurred in the normal course of
business operations. Furthermore, whilst maintaining the current portfolio of
exploration interests is the intent of the Group, should activities be ceased
in any project, aside from modest exit costs, the costs of that project would
cease.
