European Metals Holdings Limited (ASX & AIM: EMH, OTCQX: EMHXY, ERPNF and EMHLF) (“European Metals” or the “Company”) is pleased to provide an update on its activities during the three-month period ending 31 March 2023 highlighting the continued progress in the development of the globally significant Cinovec Lithium/Tin Project (“the Project” or “Cinovec”) in the Czech Republic.

During the reporting period, the Company made two very significant announcements with respect to the delivery of the Cinovec Project.

Firstly, European Metals was pleased to announce that the Cinovec Project had been declared a Strategic Project by the Just Transition Fund (‘JTF’) (refer to the Company’s ASX and AIM announcement dated 30 January 2023) (European Union’s Just Transition Fund approves Cinovec as a Strategic Project). Geomet s.r.o (the Cinovec project company) will apply for JTF Grant funding for the maximum amount of CZK 1.2bn (approximately €49m).

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 has the necessary capacity, expertise and track record to deliver the Cinovec DFS in a timely and efficient manner and will be working to build on all of the optimisation work that the Cinovec team completed over the course of 2022 with a view to completion of the DFS in Q4 2023.

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.

Inside Billionaire Gina Rinehart's Key Mining Investments

Australian billionaire Gina Rinehart has become a formidable force in the global mining industry.

After taking the helm of her father’s iron ore firm Hancock Prospecting in 1993, she embarked upon a diversification strategy that has vastly expanded her resource empire. Now Australia’s richest person, Rinehart has investments in many of the world’s most strategic commodities such as lithium, rare earths, copper, potash and natural gas.

One of those investments is Arafura Rare Earths (ASX:ARU,OTC Pink:ARAFF), which even in a low price environment for rare earths managed to secure nearly AU$1.5 billion in debt financing in mid-2024 to advance its Nolans project in the Northern Territory.

Lithium Africa CEO Makes Case for Lithium Investing Amid Bear Market

The CEO of Lithium Africa is making a case for investing in lithium during the current bear market, saying recent moves by major players such as Rio Tinto (ASX:RIO,NYSE:RIO,LSE:RIO) indicate confidence in the market's longer-term potential.

And late last year, they did the Arcadium Lithium transaction, which is the second largest transaction in corporate history, and they've picked lithium," Tyron Breytenbach said during an interview with the Investing News Network.

"Shortly after that, they followed on with a big, multibillion-dollar investment in Chile. Again, the commodity they picked was lithium."

Rock Bottom: Strategic Window for Ground-level Lithium Investment in 2025

When lithium prices hit bottom, savvy investors know that’s exactly where the next big discovery begins — literally. Beneath the surface of global markets and remote exploration grounds, new opportunities are forming in the wake of a sharp price reset and renewed geopolitical urgency.

Macroeconomic and policy shifts in 2025 are creating ideal conditions for those willing to look past the headlines. While volatility in lithium prices has tempered short-term sentiment, the underlying demand trajectory remains strong. With governments reshaping supply chains to reduce reliance on China and accelerate the energy transition, lithium is emerging not only as a critical resource, but as a strategic investment theme with long-term upside.

For investors, this reset isn’t a retreat; it’s a rare chance to get in early, at ground level.
