Secondly, European Metals announced the appointment of DRA Global Limited (“DRA”) to complete the Definitive Feasibility Study (“DFS”) for the Cinovec Project in the Czech Republic (refer to the Company’s ASX and AIM announcement dated 2 February 2023).

DRA is a recognised leader in the delivery of lithium projects globally with over 30 years’ experience in the development and execution of projects.

DRA’s appointment for this vital piece of project development work is testament to both the Company’s and its joint-venture partner CEZ s.a. commitment to, and the tremendous prospectivity and value of, the Cinovec Project. The Cinovec Project’s in-house team continue to work closely with DRA to develop and finalise the DFS.
