EUROPEAN METALS HOLDINGS LIMITED
QUARTERLY REPORT - MARCH 2021
European Metals Holdings Limited (ASX & AIM: EMH, NASDAQ: ERPNF) ("EuropeanĀ Metals"Ā orĀ theĀ "Company")Ā isĀ pleasedĀ toĀ provideĀ anĀ updateĀ onĀ itsĀ activitiesĀ duringĀ theĀ three-monthĀ periodĀ endedĀ 31 March 2021Ā whichĀ highlightsĀ theĀ continuedĀ progress in the development of the globally significant Cinovec Lithium/Tin ProjectĀ ("theĀ Project"Ā orĀ "Cinovec")Ā inĀ CzechĀ Republic.
Ā
RESOURCE DRILLING UPDATE
Ā
The measured resource drilling programme continued throughout the quarter with the Company announcing further results from the programme on 2 February. The current drill programme has been planned to define blocks of resource for the first 5 years of mining within the Cinovec-South area, with a goal to convert the resource from indicated to measured category. The holes have been terminated in ore consistent with the aim of targeting the first 5 years of resource blocks for the mine.
Ā
The Company highlighted the completion of 12 of a total of 19 hole programme with
interim results in line with or better than expectations.
Ā
Given the relative ease of beneficiation of the Cinovec deposit through wet magnetic separation it was decided that it was important to report the drill results and the "in lab" beneficiation results. As reported to the market 21 October 2016 (Outstanding Lithium Recoveries at Coarse Grind) wet magnetic separation ("WMS") achieved a near pure lithium mica concentrate grading 2.85% Li2O with a lithium recovery of 92%.
Ā
Results reported were:
Ā
⢠Resource drill holes CIS-18, CIS-19, CIS-20, CIS-21, CIS-22 and CIS-23 have been completed including analytical reports.
⢠Resource drill holes CIS-24, CIS-25, CIS-26, CIS-28, CIS-29 and CIS-30 have been drilled with analytical results pending.
⢠Drilling of resource hole CIS-27 is currently underway.
⢠Hole CIS-18 returned 57m averaging 0.41% Li2O, incl. 5m @ 0.96% Li2O, 3 m @ 1.13% Li2O, 0.12% Sn (Tin) and 0.104% W (Tungsten), and 7 m @ 0.136% W.
⢠Hole CIS-19 returned 68.9m averaging 0.45% Li2O and 0.11% Sn, incl. 10.8m @ 0.75% Li2O, 10m @ 0.13% Sn, 2.25m @ 0.54% Li2O, 0.15% Sn and 0.13% W, 4m @ 0.95% Sn, and 2m @ 0.15% Sn.

BACKGROUND INFORMATION ON CINOVEC
Ā
PROJECTĀ OVERVIEW
Ā
CinovecĀ Lithium/TinĀ Project ("Cinovec")
Ā
Cinovec is the largest hard rock lithium deposit in Europe, the fourth largest non-brine deposit in theĀ world and a globally significant tin resource and is fully funded through to Final Investment Decision,Ā expectedĀ early 2022.
Ā
Ā
Geomet s.r.o. is owned 49% by European Metals and 51% by CEZ a.s. through its wholly ownedĀ subsidiary, SDAS and controls the mineral exploration licenses awarded by the Czech State overĀ Cinovec.Ā CinovecĀ hostsĀ aĀ globallyĀ significantĀ hardĀ rockĀ lithiumĀ depositĀ withĀ aĀ totalĀ IndicatedĀ Mineral
Ā
Resource of 372.4Mt at 0.45% Li2O and 0.04% Sn and an Inferred Mineral Resource of 323.5Mt atĀ 0.39%Ā Li2OĀ andĀ 0.04%Ā SnĀ containingĀ aĀ combinedĀ 7.22Ā millionĀ tonnesĀ LithiumĀ CarbonateĀ EquivalentĀ andĀ 263kt of tin. An initial Probable Ore Reserve of 34.5Mt at 0.65% Li2O and 0.09% has been declared toĀ coverĀ theĀ firstĀ 20Ā yearsĀ mining atĀ anĀ outputĀ ofĀ 22,500tpaĀ ofĀ lithiumĀ carbonate.
Ā
The Preliminary Feasibility Study, conducted by specialist independent consultants, indicated a returnĀ post tax NPV of USD1.108B and an IRR of 28.8% and confirmed that the Cinovec Project is a potentialĀ lowĀ operatingĀ cost,Ā producerĀ ofĀ batteryĀ gradeĀ lithiumĀ hydroxideĀ orĀ batteryĀ gradeĀ lithiumĀ carbonateĀ asĀ marketsĀ demand.Ā ItĀ confirmedĀ theĀ depositĀ isĀ amenableĀ toĀ bulkĀ undergroundĀ mining.Ā MetallurgicalĀ test-Ā work has produced both battery grade lithium hydroxide and battery grade lithium carbonate inĀ additionĀ toĀ high-gradeĀ tinĀ concentrateĀ atĀ excellentĀ recoveries.Ā CinovecĀ isĀ centrallyĀ locatedĀ forĀ EuropeanĀ end-users and is well serviced by infrastructure, with a sealed road adjacent to the deposit, rail linesĀ locatedĀ 5Ā kmĀ northĀ andĀ 8Ā kmĀ southĀ ofĀ theĀ depositĀ andĀ anĀ activeĀ 22Ā kVĀ transmissionĀ lineĀ runningĀ toĀ theĀ historic mine.
Ā
TheĀ economicĀ viabilityĀ ofĀ CinovecĀ hasĀ beenĀ furtherĀ enhancedĀ byĀ theĀ recentĀ strongĀ increaseĀ inĀ demandĀ forĀ lithiumĀ andĀ TinĀ globally, andĀ withinĀ EuropeĀ specifically.
Ā
There are no other material changes to the original information and all the material assumptionsĀ continueĀ toĀ apply toĀ theĀ forecasts.

LITHIUMĀ CLASSIFICATIONĀ AND CONVERSIONĀ FACTORS
Lithium grades are normally presented in percentages or parts per million (ppm). Grades of depositsĀ areĀ alsoĀ expressedĀ asĀ lithiumĀ compoundsĀ inĀ percentages,Ā forĀ exampleĀ asĀ aĀ percentĀ lithiumĀ oxideĀ (Li2O) contentĀ orĀ percentĀ lithiumĀ carbonateĀ (Li2CO3)Ā content.
Ā
Lithium carbonate equivalent ("LCE") is the industry standard terminology for, and is equivalent to,Ā Li2CO3. Use of LCE is to provide data comparable with industry reports and is the total equivalentĀ amount of lithium carbonate, assuming the lithium content in the deposit is converted to lithiumĀ carbonate, using the conversion rates in the table included below to get an equivalent Li2CO3 value inĀ percent. Use of LCE assumes 100% recovery and no process losses in the extraction of Li2CO3 from theĀ deposit.
Ā
Lithium resources and reserves are usually presented in tonnes of LCE or Li.
TheĀ standardĀ conversionĀ factorsĀ are set outĀ inĀ theĀ tableĀ below:
