QUARTERLY ACTIVITIES REPORT - SEPTEMBER 2022

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 30 September 2022 highlighting the continued progress in the development of the globally significant Cinovec Lithium/Tin Project ( "the Project" or "Cinovec" ) in the Czech Republic.

Post the reporting period, the Company also made two very significant announcements.

Firstly, the Company announced that it had finalised a considerably simplified Lithium Chemical Plant (" LCP ") flowsheet with the initial six locked cycle test (" LCTs ") providing 99.99% pure Lithium Carbonate. The LCTs were completed at ALS Global in Perth and demonstrated overall lithium recoveries of 88-93%, (refer to the Company's release dated 31 October 2022) ( Simplified Extraction Process delivers exceptionally clean battery grade lithium products with improved economics) .

The simplified flowsheet precipitates lithium phosphate directly from the polished PLS and then goes on to clean the lithium phosphate to enable precipitation of a much cleaner crude lithium carbonate. The final purification step of bicarbonation and re-precipitation is the same as in the earlier flowsheet, but the end-product is of even higher quality due to the input crude lithium carbonate being much cleaner. The simplification of the central section of the LCP flowsheet reduces the number of basic chemical engineering unit processes (after the initial roast/water leach) from 15 to 7. The revised process also results in the elimination of all energy-intensive cooling processes.

The Company has been advised by its principal hydrometallurgical adviser, Lithium Consultants Australasia (LCA), that the changes to the LCP noted above are expected to reduce both Capex and Opex in the LCP by 10-20%. The Capex reduction is based upon the fact that the simplified flowsheet requires the use of only two crystallisers vs the four crystallisers and 1 evaporator in the original flowsheet. The similar reduction on Opex in achieved through reduced power use resulting from not having to operate the additional equipment.

The Company expects that lower reagent use, and the elimination of all process cooling steps will change the environmental footprint of the project positively, reducing the chemicals and energy required in the LCP process.

The recently completed testwork for the re-engineered LCP flowsheet produced the following crude and battery-grade lithium carbonate products, compared with the published global standard specification, YS/T 582-2013 with the Li(2) CO(3) results highlighted in yellow:

As can be seen from the table, the crude lithium carbonate first precipitated (i.e., with no purification or re-precipitation steps) meets the battery-grade specification for 10 of the 14 impurity thresholds.

The battery-grade lithium carbonate recrystallised after a single bicarbonation step shows an exceptionally clean battery-grade material.

A provisional patent application covering the simplified flowsheet has been lodged by the Company on behalf of Geomet s.r.o. to protect what the Company believes to be a very valuable and simple process to produce battery grade lithium carbonate or hydroxide from any lithiferous ore.

Secondly, the Company announced the appointment of Luthardt Investment GmbH, (" Luthardt ") a Berlin-based consultancy specialising in energy production and government relations support to large infrastructure projects internationally. Luthardt is led by Sven Luthardt, who has broad business experience supporting companies in Europe and the Middle East, particularly in the field of Government relations.

Luthardt will advise the Company as well as the project company, Geomet, on EU and national government-level relations, with the aim of promoting official support of the Cinovec Project. In consideration for the engagement, the Company will issue Luthardt a total of 2 million unlisted options to acquire fully paid ordinary shares, exercisable at AU$0.80 on or before 30 December 2023, which shall vest in two equal tranches, subject to milestones tied to achievement of downstream partnerships and policy support for the project in Germany being met, (refer to the Company's release dated 28 October 2022). ( Engagement of German strategic energy investment adviser)

Otherwise, the quarter was marked by continued progress by the Company towards finalisation of the Definitive Feasibility Study (" DFS ") together with ongoing discussions with prospective offtakers and Project Finance participants. From a macro perspective, the price for lithium remains extremely strong with Lithium Carbonate setting all time high prices in October and the expectation of continuing strong demand within the European Union for lithium resulting from the announcement of Gigafactory production capacities of up to 124 GWh to be achieved in the course of 2022. By 2025, this is expected to quadruple to over 500 GWh, and by 2030 even tenfold to up to 1.5 TWh.

There were also significant macro events within Europe for the period that are likely to have a positive effect on the demand for lithium and the support of the Cinovec Project. Amongst these was the announcement of the European Critical Raw Materials Act by European Commission President Ursula von der Leyen in September which is aimed at securing a sustainable EU supply of critical raw materials for Europe and lessening European dependency on certain other suppliers.

The timeline for the completion of the DFS is under review with an announcement in this regard expected imminently. Whilst the work on the DFS is proceeding well, there have been delays in the DFS process caused in part by COVID-19 issues in laboratories, the dramatic upturn in the workload of laboratories and associated reduction in laboratory availability resulting from the increase in demand in the lithium space, and logistical issues caused by the Ukrainian situation. It is not expected that this will delay the critical path of the Project, as during this time the Company will be in the process of finalising permitting and Project Finance matters.

During the reporting period, European Metals was pleased to announce the appointment of Panmure Gordon as the Company's Joint Broker in the United Kingdom, alongside WH Ireland, who will retain their role as NOMAD. Panmure Gordon are a UK based investment bank providing a full range of services including Capital Raising, Corporate Advisory, Corporate Broking, Investor Relations, Research, Sales and Execution with distribution to the UK, Europe and the US. (refer to the Company's ASX release dated 16 August 2022) ( Appointment of Panmure Gordon as Joint UK Broker ).

BACKGROUND INFORMATION ON CINOVEC

PROJECT OVERVIEW

Cinovec Lithium/Tin Project

Geomet s.r.o. controls the mineral exploration licenses awarded by the Czech State over the Cinovec Lithium/Tin Project. Geomet has been granted a preliminary mining permit by the Ministry of Environment and the Ministry of Industry. The company is owned 49% by EMH and 51% by CEZ a.s. through its wholly owned subsidiary, SDAS. Cinovec hosts a globally significant hard rock lithium deposit with a total Measured Mineral Resource of 53.3Mt at 0.48% Li(2) O and 0.08% Sn, Indicated Mineral Resource of 360.2Mt at 0.44% Li(2) O and 0.05% Sn and an Inferred Mineral Resource of 294.7Mt at 0.39% Li(2) O and 0.05% Sn containing a combined 7.39 million tonnes Lithium Carbonate Equivalent and 335.1kt of tin ( refer to the Company's ASX release dated 13 October 2021) (Resource Upgrade at Cinovec Lithium Project).

An initial Probable Ore Reserve of 34.5Mt at 0.65% Li(2) O and 0.09% Sn reported 4 July 2017 ( Cinovec Maiden Ore Reserve - Further Information ) has been declared to cover the first 20 years mining at an output of 22,500tpa of lithium carbonate (refer to the Company's ASX release dated 11 July 2018) ( Cinovec Production Modelled to Increase to 22,500tpa of Lithium Carbonate ).

This makes Cinovec the largest hard rock lithium deposit in Europe, the fifth largest non-brine deposit in the world and a globally significant tin resource.

The deposit has previously had over 400,000 tonnes of ore mined as a trial sub-level open stope underground mining operation.

On 19 January 2022, EMH provided an update to the 2019 PFS Update, conducted by specialist independent consultants which, based upon the production of 29,386tpa of lithium hydroxide, indicates a post-tax NPV of USD1.938B and a post-tax IRR of 36.3% and confirmed that the Cinovec Project is a potential low operating cost producer of battery-grade lithium hydroxide or battery grade lithium carbonate as markets demand. It confirmed the deposit is amenable to bulk underground mining (refer to the Company's ASX release dated 19 January 2022) ( PFS Update delivers outstanding results ). Metallurgical test-work has produced both battery-grade lithium hydroxide and battery-grade lithium carbonate in addition to high-grade tin concentrate at excellent recoveries. Cinovec is centrally located for European end-users and is well serviced by infrastructure, with a sealed road adjacent to the deposit, rail lines located 5 km north and 8 km south of the deposit, and an active 22 kV transmission line running to the historic mine. As the deposit lies in an active mining region, it has strong community support.

The economic viability of Cinovec has been enhanced by the recent strong increase in demand for lithium globally, and within Europe specifically.

There are no other material changes to the original information and all the material assumptions continue to apply to the forecasts.

LITHIUM CLASSIFICATION AND CONVERSION FACTORS

Lithium grades are normally presented in percentages or parts per million (ppm). Grades of deposits are also expressed as lithium compounds in percentages, for example as a percent lithium oxide (Li(2) O) content or percent lithium carbonate (Li(2) CO(3) ) content.

Lithium carbonate equivalent ("LCE") is the industry standard terminology for, and is equivalent to, Li(2) CO(3) . Use of LCE is to provide data comparable with industry reports and is the total equivalent amount of lithium carbonate, assuming the lithium content in the deposit is converted to lithium carbonate, using the conversion rates in the table included below to get an equivalent Li(2) CO(3) value in percent. Use of LCE assumes 100% recovery and no process losses in the extraction of Li(2) CO(3) from the deposit.

Lithium resources and reserves are usually presented in tonnes of LCE or Li.

The standard conversion factors are set out in the table 3 below:
