EUROPEAN METALS HOLDINGS LIMITED
QUARTERLY REPORT - MARCH 2021
European Metals Holdings Limited (ASX & AIM: EMH, NASDAQ: ERPNF) ("EuropeanΒ Metals"Β orΒ theΒ "Company")Β isΒ pleasedΒ toΒ provideΒ anΒ updateΒ onΒ itsΒ activitiesΒ duringΒ theΒ three-monthΒ periodΒ endedΒ 31 March 2021Β whichΒ highlightsΒ theΒ continuedΒ progress in the development of the globally significant Cinovec Lithium/Tin ProjectΒ ("theΒ Project"Β orΒ "Cinovec")Β inΒ CzechΒ Republic.
Β
RESOURCE DRILLING UPDATE
Β
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.
Β
The Company highlighted the completion of 12 of a total of 19 hole programme with
interim results in line with or better than expectations.
Β
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%.
Β
Results reported were:
Β
β’ Resource drill holes CIS-18, CIS-19, CIS-20, CIS-21, CIS-22 and CIS-23 have been completed including analytical reports.
β’ Resource drill holes CIS-24, CIS-25, CIS-26, CIS-28, CIS-29 and CIS-30 have been drilled with analytical results pending.
β’ Drilling of resource hole CIS-27 is currently underway.
β’ 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.
β’ 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
Β
PROJECTΒ OVERVIEW
Β
CinovecΒ Lithium/TinΒ Project ("Cinovec")
Β
Cinovec is the largest hard rock lithium deposit in Europe, the fourth largest non-brine deposit in theΒ world and a globally significant tin resource and is fully funded through to Final Investment Decision,Β expectedΒ early 2022.
Β
Β
Geomet s.r.o. is owned 49% by European Metals and 51% by CEZ a.s. through its wholly ownedΒ subsidiary, SDAS and controls the mineral exploration licenses awarded by the Czech State overΒ Cinovec.Β CinovecΒ hostsΒ aΒ globallyΒ significantΒ hardΒ rockΒ lithiumΒ depositΒ withΒ aΒ totalΒ IndicatedΒ Mineral
Β
Resource of 372.4Mt at 0.45% Li2O and 0.04% Sn and an Inferred Mineral Resource of 323.5Mt atΒ 0.39%Β Li2OΒ andΒ 0.04%Β SnΒ containingΒ aΒ combinedΒ 7.22Β millionΒ tonnesΒ LithiumΒ CarbonateΒ EquivalentΒ andΒ 263kt of tin. An initial Probable Ore Reserve of 34.5Mt at 0.65% Li2O and 0.09% has been declared toΒ coverΒ theΒ firstΒ 20Β yearsΒ mining atΒ anΒ outputΒ ofΒ 22,500tpaΒ ofΒ lithiumΒ carbonate.
Β
The Preliminary Feasibility Study, conducted by specialist independent consultants, indicated a returnΒ post tax NPV of USD1.108B and an IRR of 28.8% and confirmed that the Cinovec Project is a potentialΒ lowΒ operatingΒ cost,Β producerΒ ofΒ batteryΒ gradeΒ lithiumΒ hydroxideΒ orΒ batteryΒ gradeΒ lithiumΒ carbonateΒ asΒ marketsΒ demand.Β ItΒ confirmedΒ theΒ depositΒ isΒ amenableΒ toΒ bulkΒ undergroundΒ mining.Β MetallurgicalΒ test-Β work has produced both battery grade lithium hydroxide and battery grade lithium carbonate inΒ additionΒ toΒ high-gradeΒ tinΒ concentrateΒ atΒ excellentΒ recoveries.Β CinovecΒ isΒ centrallyΒ locatedΒ forΒ EuropeanΒ end-users and is well serviced by infrastructure, with a sealed road adjacent to the deposit, rail linesΒ locatedΒ 5Β kmΒ northΒ andΒ 8Β kmΒ southΒ ofΒ theΒ depositΒ andΒ anΒ activeΒ 22Β kVΒ transmissionΒ lineΒ runningΒ toΒ theΒ historic mine.
Β
TheΒ economicΒ viabilityΒ ofΒ CinovecΒ hasΒ beenΒ furtherΒ enhancedΒ byΒ theΒ recentΒ strongΒ increaseΒ inΒ demandΒ forΒ lithiumΒ andΒ TinΒ globally, andΒ withinΒ EuropeΒ specifically.
Β
There are no other material changes to the original information and all the material assumptionsΒ continueΒ toΒ apply toΒ theΒ forecasts.

LITHIUMΒ CLASSIFICATIONΒ AND CONVERSIONΒ FACTORS
Lithium grades are normally presented in percentages or parts per million (ppm). Grades of depositsΒ areΒ alsoΒ expressedΒ asΒ lithiumΒ compoundsΒ inΒ percentages,Β forΒ exampleΒ asΒ aΒ percentΒ lithiumΒ oxideΒ (Li2O) contentΒ orΒ percentΒ lithiumΒ carbonateΒ (Li2CO3)Β content.
Β
Lithium carbonate equivalent ("LCE") is the industry standard terminology for, and is equivalent to,Β Li2CO3. Use of LCE is to provide data comparable with industry reports and is the total equivalentΒ amount of lithium carbonate, assuming the lithium content in the deposit is converted to lithiumΒ carbonate, using the conversion rates in the table included below to get an equivalent Li2CO3 value inΒ percent. Use of LCE assumes 100% recovery and no process losses in the extraction of Li2CO3 from theΒ deposit.
Β
Lithium resources and reserves are usually presented in tonnes of LCE or Li.
TheΒ standardΒ conversionΒ factorsΒ are set outΒ inΒ theΒ tableΒ below:
