RNS Number : 3931C  European Metals Holdings Limited  29 April 2026

QUARTERLY ACTIVITIES REPORT

31 March 2026

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 2026.
This period was one of consolidation following the extremely significant
December 2025 quarter, which saw the completion of the Cinovec Project
("Cinovec" or "Project") Definitive Feasibility Study ("DFS") and the
confirmation of a project grant of up to EUR 360 million. The March 2026
quarter was highlighted by the submission of the Environmental Impact
Assessment for the Project and the Regional Rezoning Approval, as detailed
below.

FULL ENVIRONMENTAL IMPACT ASSESSMENT SUBMITTED FOR CINOVEC LITHIUM PROJECT

On 13 January 2026, the Company advised that the full Environmental Impact
Assessment ("EIA") for the Cinovec Lithium Project was formally submitted to
the Czech Ministry of the Environment on 31 December 2025.

The submission completes the two-stage EIA process, following lodgement of the
screening-stage assessment earlier in 2025, and represents a key regulatory
milestone for the Project. This EIA covers the entire Cinovec development and
supports the outcomes of the recently completed DFS, which confirmed Cinovec
as a long-life, large-scale European lithium project with a 26+ year mine life
and forecast production of approximately 37,500 tonnes per annum of
battery-grade lithium carbonate.

The EIA identifies and assesses potential environmental impacts associated
with the Project and outlines proposed mitigation and management measures,
including monitoring requirements. It considers physical, biological and
socio-economic factors from an environmental protection perspective and
incorporates the technical modelling required under Czech and EU regulations.

Submission of the EIA satisfies a key condition of the EU Just Transition Fund
("JTF") grant awarded to the Cinovec Project.

KEY APPROVAL FOR THE CINOVEC PROJECT

On 10 February 2026, the Company announced that Geomet s.r.o. had received
Regional Rezoning approval for the Company's flagship Cinovec Lithium Project.
The Ústí nad Labem Regional Assembly voted to support the rezoning
application submitted by the Czech Ministry of Industry and Trade. The
rezoning defines the Project's areas and corridors for lithium mining and
processing, including corridors for necessary utility supply developments
including water, electricity and gas at all of the Project's sites. It also
defines the area for the storage and processing of materials from mining
activities and the treatment of lithium concentrate at the Prunéřov
Processing Plant site, and the planned tailings management facilities in the
Doly Nastup Tušimice ("DNT") mining area. The rezoning application for the
Project commenced in March 2022 and has undergone extensive public
consultation including two public hearings and a number of written
submissions.

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 54.4Mt at 0.58% Li(2)O ,
Indicated Mineral Resource of 378.23Mt at 0.41% Li(2)O and an Inferred Mineral
Resource of 309.49Mt at 0.39% Li(2)O containing a combined 7.45 million tonnes
Lithium Carbonate Equivalent (refer to the Company's ASX/ AIM release dated 23
December 2025) (Cinovec DFS Confirms Long-life Battery Grade Lithium Carbonate
Producer Strategically Positioned to supply European EV and Energy-storage
Sectors).

 

A Proven and Probable Ore Reserve of 54.4Mt at 0.58% Li(2)O has been declared
to cover the first 26 years mining at an output of 37,500tpa of lithium
carbonate (refer to the Company's ASX/ AIM release dated 23 December 2025)
(Cinovec DFS Confirms Long-life Battery Grade Lithium Carbonate Producer
Strategically Positioned to supply European EV and Energy-storage Sectors).

 

The Definitive Feasibility Study (DFS) confirmed the economic viability of the
Cinovec Project with steady-state production of 37,500 tpa of battery-grade
lithium carbonate (Li₂CO₃), representing ~5.2% of EU demand in 2030 and
sufficient for >900,000 50kWh EV batteries annually.  Cinovec will have a
28+ year operating life, underpinned by a 748Mt Resource @ 0.19% Li₂O and
a 55.4Mt Ore Reserve, with expansion optionality (refer to the Company's ASX/
AIM release dated 23 December 2025) (Cinovec DFS Confirms Long-life Battery
Grade Lithium Carbonate Producer Strategically Positioned to supply European
EV and Energy-storage Sectors).

This makes Cinovec the largest hard rock lithium deposit in Europe and by far
the largest hard rock lithium deposit in the European Union.

 

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
25/26 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).

 

Cinovec has received recent impetus from the EU and the Czech Government in
the form of grants of USD36 million from the EU Just Transition fund (refer to
the Company's ASX/ AIM release dated 28 April 2025) (USD 36 million Just
Transition Fund Grant Approved for Cinovec Project) and up to EUR360 million
by the Czech Government (refer to the Company's ASX/ AIM release dated 7 March
2025) (Approval of up to €360 Million  Czech Government Grant).

 

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

 

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 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 company or management or beyond the company's control.

 

Although the Company attempts and has attempted to identify factors that would
cause actual actions, events or results to differ materially from those
disclosed in forward looking statements, there may be other factors that could
cause actual results, performance, achievements or events not to be as
anticipated, estimated or intended, and many events are beyond the reasonable
control of the company. Accordingly, readers are cautioned not to place undue
reliance on forward looking statements. Forward looking statements in these
materials speak only at the date of issue. Subject to any continuing

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:

 8.8  If item 8.7 is less than 2 quarters, please provide answers to the following
      questions:
      8.8.1     Does the entity expect that it will continue to have the current
      level of net operating cash flows for the time being and, if not, why not?
      Answer:

      The Company expects to have similar operating cashflows for the foreseeable
      future as it continues development of the globally significant Cinovec Lithium
      Project.
      8.8.2     Has the entity taken any steps, or does it propose to take any
      steps, to raise further cash to fund its operations and, if so, what are those
      steps and how likely does it believe that they will be successful?
      Answer:

      The Company will require additional capital to support its operating costs as
      well as capital requirements of the project company Geomet. The Company
      completed a successful capital raise during the quarter to support ongoing
      development of the Cinovec Lithium Project and general working capital. The
      Board is continuing to assess a range of future funding options available to
      the Company, including potential equity or debt funding. Based on recent
      market engagement and the success of the most recent capital raise, the
      Company is confident that it would be able to secure additional funding when
      appropriate.
      8.8.3     Does the entity expect to be able to continue its operations and
      to meet its business objectives and, if so, on what basis?
      Answer:

      The Company expects to be able to continue its activities, noting that the
      directors are aware that the Group has the option, if necessary, to defer
      certain expenditure or to reduce administration costs in order to minimise
      cash outflows. The directors also remain confident that, when required, the
      Company will be successful in raising additional funds through the issue of
      new equity.
      Note: where item 8.7 is less than 2 quarters, all of questions 8.8.1, 8.8.2
      and 8.8.3 above must be answered.
