QUARTERLY ACTIVITIES REPORT

31 DECEMBER 2024

European Metals Holdings Limited (ASX & AIM: EMH, OTCQX: EMHXY and EMHLF)
("European Metals" or the "Company") is pleased to provide an update on its
activities during the three-month period ending 31 December 2024. 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 Lithium Project and DFS Update

During the quarter, the Company released an update on the Definitive
Feasibility Study ("DFS") for the Cinovec Project (see the Company's ASX/AIM
announcement of 27 November 2024 "Cinovec Project Update").

The Company announced the selection of the former Prunéřov 1 Power Station
("EPR1") as the processing plant and related infrastructure construction
location, after extensive evaluations of potential sites within the broader
Prunéřov area. The EPR1 site offers advantages such as established
infrastructure for power, water and rail access to leverage off, leading to
cost reduction and enhanced operational efficiency. Key benefits include
enhanced logistics due to existing rail links, potential processing capacity
expansion areas and the potential for integration with CEZ's solar power
plans. The Dukla site will be reconfigured as a transport hub, while ongoing
engineering work focuses on optimising capital and operational expenditure at
EPR1.

The shift to the EPR1 site, which spans 36 hectares compared to the previous
24-hectare Dukla site, is expected to bring several significant benefits:

• Well-established road infrastructure including  rail links that will
provide excellent access to site, which will provide significant
constructability advantages for the processing plant as well as ongoing
operating cost ("Opex") benefits and sustainability (environmental footprint)
benefits as a result of building on rehabilitated land.

• EPR1 was a major industrial site and is therefore well serviced by power,
gas and water infrastructure which will require less work and investment to
re-connect and reticulate into the processing plant.

• EPR1 is served directly by extensive rail infrastructure built for the
purpose of delivering coal to the EPR1 and EPR2 power plants, which will
continue to be used for EPR2 until it is decommissioned by CEZ. This presents
synergies in terms of operating and maintenance costs for shared
infrastructure and services and may enable expansion of planned processing
capacity beyond that published in the Project's 2022 Pre-Feasibility Study
("PFS"), namely 2.25mtpa run-of-mine ore ("ROM") feed; and

• Ultimately, this may enable a further expansion of lithium production when
the adjacent EPR2 coal-fired power plant is shut down in-line with European
and Czech policy on phasing out coal-fired power generation and adoption of
renewables, including planned solar power installations in the Prunéřov
area.

Engineering work has continued in parallel to finalising the process plant
location and has included:

• Continuous improvement to mining and processing Capex and Opex, including
optimisation of process design criteria;

• Investigation of opportunities to increase mine production tonnages and
processing plant throughput volumes;

• Reconfiguration of the previous proposed plant site at Dukla to become a
transport hub to load ROM onto trains for transportation to the EPR1 site and,
in the reverse direction, receive tailings for the purpose of backfilling the
mine;

• Optimising materials handling solutions for ROM and tailings at both the
Dukla and EPR1 sites; and

• Evaluation of rail logistics and confirmation that the network capacity
can accommodate the volumes of material from the Cinovec Project.

Work on updating the DFS to include the EPR1 site and revised fully integrated
project configuration has already commenced. The results of the DFS are
expected to be released in mid-2025.

In December 2024, 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 announcement of 20
December 2024 "Significant Increase in Planned Lithium Production"). 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 DFS, scenarios were identified that
could represent an increase to the possible production 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, that the increased production levels are 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, now due for completion in mid-2025.

Process Flowsheet Improvements

The Project team is advancing several DFS-related initiatives to enhance the
Front-End Comminution and Beneficiation ("FECAB") circuit and the Lithium
Chemical Plant ("LCP") circuit (see the Company's ASX/AIM announcement of 27
November 2024 "Cinovec Project Update"). These improvements focus on
optimising recovery rates, reducing waste and lowering Opex costs to
strengthen the Project's economic outlook.

In relation to the LCP, post-piloting testing continues to refine aspects such
as roasting reagents, pelletising and moisture reduction in the roast mix, as
well as improvements in lithium phosphate precipitation already achieved.
Consolidated ongoing test work results demonstrate significant economic
benefits, including reduced kiln size and energy consumption, which will be
reflected in the DFS.

CORPORATE AND ADMINISTRATION

QUARTERLY CASHFLOW REPORT

In accordance with the ASX Listing Rules, the Company will also today lodge
its cashflow report for the quarter ended 31 December 2024.  There was no
cash outflow for Cinovec associated costs, in respect of the Company's
investment in the Cinovec Lithium Project in the Czech Republic during the
quarter.

The Company's total cash is $3.5 million as at 31 December 2024.  It is noted
that there is approximately a further $95k in receivables from the Company's
associate, Geomet s.r.o, in relation to the provision of services in relation
to managing the Cinovec Project development, as at 31 December 2024.

PAYMENTS TO RELATED PARTIES

As outlined in the attached Appendix 5B (section 6.1), during the quarter
approximately $237,000 in payments were made to related parties and their

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
eighth largest hard rock 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. 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 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 derived from 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
