QUARTERLY ACTIVITIES REPORT
31 MARCH 2025
European Metals Holdings Limited (ASX & AIM: EMH, OTCQX and OTCQB: EMHXY
and EMHLF) ("European Metals" or the "Company") is pleased to provide an
update on its activities during the three-month period ending 31 March 2025.
Continued progress with the development of the globally significant Cinovec
Lithium Project ("the Project" or "Cinovec") in the Czech Republic has been
made over this period.
Cinovec Declared a Strategic Project under the European Union (EU) Critical
Raw Materials Act
On 26 March 2025 the Company announced that the European Commission had
declared Cinovec to be a Strategic Project under the April 2024 implemented
Critical Raw Materials Act 1 (#_ftn1) ("CRMA"). This declaration confirms the
importance of Cinovec in supplying battery grade lithium chemicals to the
European Lithium ion Battery ("LiB") supply chain.
1 Document 32024R1252, 03/05/2024, Regulation (EU) 2024/1252 of the European
Parliament and of the Council of 11 April 2024 establishing a framework for
ensuring a secure and sustainable supply of critical raw materials and
amending Regulations (EU) No 168/2013, (EU) 2018/858, (EU) 2018/1724 and (EU)
2019/1020 (Text with EEA relevance), PE/78/2023/REV/1 (Source:
https://eur-lex.europa.eu/legal-content/EN/TXT/?uri=OJ:L_202401252)
Strategic Project status will bring with it explicit support from European
institutions, including financial institutions. Plus, permitting will be
brought within accelerated and simplified process, and time limits as set out
within the CRMA.
The CRMA's purpose is to strengthen security of critical raw material supplies
from within the EU, reduce dependence on imported materials, and support
innovation in the sustainable sourcing of materials including raw mineral
resources. Lithium is a critical LiB raw material necessary to achieve the
transition to a low-carbon economy, which underpins the development of the
electric mobility sector including the automotive industry and is essential to
renewable energy storage and the transformation of the power sector (refer to
the Company's ASX/AIM releases dated 26/25 March 2025) ("Cinovec Declared a
Strategic Project Under EU Critical Raw Materials Act")
Cinovec Declared a Strategic Deposit
On 7 March 2025 the Company announced that the Czech government had declared
Cinovec a Strategic Deposit for the purposes of the Czech Construction Code,
and as such simplifying and shortening permitting.
The designation of Cinovec is a major step forward for the Project, enabling
Geomet to obtain certain permits and take actions to secure the development of
the Project in a structured, transparent and expedient fashion. This
designation helps accelerate permitting processes in the following ways:
(1) Expedited approval processes - Strategically significant deposits will have
priority in obtaining permits and official approvals, reducing the time
required for project preparation and mining initiation.
(2) Reduced administrative burden - The designation will streamline coordination
between various authorities, eliminating bureaucratic obstacles and minimising
assessment duplication, fulfilling "One Stop Shop" permitting assessment as
required under the EU's CRMA.
(3) Priority environmental impact assessment ("EIA") review - The EIA process may
have accelerated deadlines or be coordinated to minimise delays caused by
complex administrative procedures.
(4) Use of exceptional procedures - Strategically significant deposits may be
eligible for special legislative procedures similar to those used for key
infrastructure projects, potentially limiting blocking possibilities by
certain institutions or civil organisations. Overall, this status will enhance
the predictability and speed of permitting processes, facilitating the timely
extraction of raw materials critical for energy security and industrial needs.
(Refer to the Company's ASX/AIM release dated 7 March 2025) ("Cinovec Declared
a Strategic Deposit by Czech Government").
In December 2024 and in a subsequent clarifying announcement on 31 January
2025, the Company announced the outcomes of a Concept Study into the potential
to increase the planned annual production of lithium chemicals from the
Cinovec Project (see the Company's ASX/AIM announcements of 20 December 2024
"Significant Increase in Planned Lithium Production") and 31 January 2025
("Clarification of Concept Study Results"). The Concept Study assessed
potential scenarios to increase ROM ore processing capacity compared to the
PFS, without significantly impacting processing plant head grade, life of mine
or plant recovery.
If supported and confirmed as part of the current Definitive Feasibility Study
("DFS"), scenarios were identified that could represent an increase to the
possible annual production rates previously announced in the PFS of 29,386
tpa. The Concept Study indicated that this potential increase in ROM ore
could be achieved without expanding the surface footprint of the underground
mine and that the DFS could be based upon the increased ROM capacity. In
addition, utilising increased production level scenarios is not expected to
delay the DFS.
The Company notes however that the potential increase in production remains
conceptual and the economic viability of the Project based on the variables
considered is currently unknown. However, the potential increase in production
would enable the Project to benefit from significant economies of scale which
are expected to be confirmed in the DFS, due for completion in mid-2025.
USD 36 million Just Transition Fund Grant Approved for Cinovec Project
After the quarter end, the Company announced the final approval by the Czech
selection panel of the managing authority for the EU Just Transition Fund
("JTF") of a CZK 800 million (US$ 36 million) grant to the Cinovec Project
(see the Company's ASX/AIM announcement of 28 April 2025) ("USD 36 million JTF
Grant Approved for Cinovec Project").
The JTF grant is conditional on the Project Environmental Impact Assessment
being submitted by 31 December 2025 and approval of the EIA by the Czech
Ministry of Environment by 30 June 2026.
The terms and conditions of the JTF grant will be detailed in the contract
between the grant provider (Czech Ministry of Environment) and the
beneficiary, the Cinovec Project holding company, Geomet s.r.o. The contract
will detail milestones, including the EIA and construction permitting
timetable, as well as the conditions for advance payments and reimbursement of
costs incurred by the beneficiary. The conditions will also include how the
Project's progress will be reported to the Czech Ministry of Environment which
is the managing authority for JTF projects.

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.
Cinovec has been designated a Strategic Project by the European Union under
the Critical Raw Materials Act. (refer to the Company's ASX/ AIM release dated
26/25 March 2025) (Cinovec declared a Strategic Project under EU Critical Raw
Materials Act) and a Strategic Deposit by the Czech Government (refer to the
Company's ASX/ AIM release dated 7 March 2025) (Cinovec declared Strategic
Deposit by Czech Government).
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. 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.
In February 2023 DRA Global Limited ("DRA") was appointed to complete the
Definitive Feasibility Study ("DFS").
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 Cinovec processing plant comprises of a Front-End Comminution and
Beneficiation circuit ("FECAB") and Lithium Chemical Plant circuit ("LCP") in
combination producing Lithium Hydroxide or Lithium Carbonate end products and
will be located on the Prunéřov 1 Power Station site located approximately
59km by rail from the Cinovec mine site. (refer to the Company's ASX/ AIM
releases dated 26 April 2024 (New Lithium Plant Site Expected to Improve
Project Permitting and Economics) and 27 November 2024 (Cinovec Project
Update)).
The economic viability of Cinovec has been enhanced by the recent push for
supply security of critical raw materials for battery production, including
the strong increase in demand for lithium globally, and within Europe
specifically, as demonstrated by the European Union's Critical Raw Materials
Act ("CRMA").

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:
Conversion Factors for Lithium Compounds and Minerals
Convert from Convert to Li Convert to Li(2)O Convert to Li(2)CO(3) Convert to LiOH.H(2)O
Lithium Li 1.000 2.153 5.325 6.048
Lithium Oxide Li(2)O 0.464 1.000 2.473 2.809
Lithium Carbonate Li(2)CO(3) 0.188 0.404 1.000 1.136
Lithium Hydroxide LiOH.H(2)O 0.165 0.356 0.880 1.000
Lithium Fluoride LiF 0.268 0.576 1.424 1.618
