   *    All six holes planned infill core drillholes 
        completed for a total of 2,697.1m drilled. 
 
   *    Analytical results confirmed the expected lithium, 
        tin and tungsten contents and mineralization widths. 
 
   *    The results for the two infill drillholes in the 
        western part of the Cinovec South deposit exceed 
        expectations. 
 
   *    Drillhole CIS-9 returned one of the best results of 
        the Company's drilling program to date: 204.6m 
        averaging 0.44% Li2O, (and within it 70m@0.58%Li2O; 
        13m@0.19%Sn, 6m@0.58%Sn, 3m@1.02%Sn and 0.179%W) 
 
   *    Drillhole CIS-8 returned a continuous relatively 
        high-grade lithium mineralization interval that 
        includes multiple zones of tin and tungsten 
        mineralization: 152.5m averaging 0.41% Li2O, (and 
        within it 3m@0.52%Sn, 6m@0.12%Sn and 0.077%W, 
        7m@0.14%Sn). 
 
   *    In the eastern part, the best results are from CIS-7, 
        with 45.5 m averaging 0.37% Li2O, and 102m averaging 
        0.31%Li2O, with string tin and tungsten credits 
        (11m@0.24%Sn and second interval includes 12m@0.17%Sn 
        and 13m@0.16%W). 
 

Czech Election Results

European Metals also noted the results of the recent elections held in the Czech Republic and the debate regarding development of lithium assets within the country leading into the elections. As the sole holder of exploration permits and preliminary mining permits with the preferential right of mining over the Cinovec Project, the Company looks forward to continuing the previous positive engagements with the new Government, once formed, and to rapidly advance development of the project to the mutual benefit of all stakeholders.

Kiran Morzaria, Chief Executive Officer of Cadence, commented:

"The team at European Metals have continued to make good progress in the development of the Cinovec asset. These latest set of drill results show excellent polymetallic mineralisation and will allow the company to update it geological models and mineral resources, which will in turn feed into the ongoing feasibility studie. We look forward seeing the progress that will be made over the coming months at the Cinovec Project."

Cadence is dedicated to smart investments for a greener world. The planet needs rechargeable batteries on a global scale - upcoming supersized passenger vehicles, lorries and buses - require lithium and other technology minerals to power their cells.
