Stockholm, 20 June 2023 – The mining company Eurobattery Minerals AB (Nordic Growth Market: “BAT” and Börse Stuttgart: “EBM”; in short: “EBM”, “Eurobattery” or “the Company”), is pleased to announce that the Safety and Chemicals Agency (Tukes) has entered (9.6.2023) the Hautalampi mining right (K7802) in the mining register according to the Mining Act (503/1965). Hautalampi mining area has the full legal force for its underground mine and its concession.
“I am very pleased that the Hautalampi mining right has now been registered in Finland’s official mining register. This is an important step in our preparations for starting the mine”, said Roberto García Martínez, CEO of Eurobattery Minerals AB.
Stockholm, 19 June 2023 – The mining company Eurobattery Minerals AB (Nordic Growth Market: “BAT” and Börse Stuttgart: “EBM”; in short: “EBM”, “Eurobattery” or “the Company”) has received an additional report from the scientists in the research partnership with Uppsala University in collaboration with AGH University of Science and Technology in Krakow, Poland.
The new report further confirms the viability of the new method for large-scale extraction of rare earth elements in Eurobattery Minerals Fetsjön project in Sweden. The method allows recovery of rare earth elements through chemical treatment at low temperatures, thus avoiding costly and time-consuming mechanical treatment. Low-temperature treatment allows for the circular use of the chemicals. In addition, the scientists conclude that the method, patented in Poland, can also be used to extract these critical raw materials from other geological formations.
“To mine rare earth elements from Europe is a key priority for the region. It would secure our supply of these critical minerals for the green transition and release us from our unhealthy dependency on conflict minerals. This new method for very effective extraction allows for exploration of European minerals deposits, such as our project in Fetsjön”, said Roberto García Martínez, CEO of Eurobattery Minerals.
The research project Eurobattery Minerals is supporting is conducted by Prof. Jaroslaw Majka at Uppsala University and Prof. Maciej Manecki at AGH University of Science and Technology in Krakow, supported by Ph. D. candidate Julia Sordyl representing both universities. The parties are investigating the opportunity for a large-scale pilot.

Stockholm, 19 December 2022 – The mining company Eurobattery Minerals AB (Nordic Growth Market: “BAT” and Börse Stuttgart: “EBM“; in short: “EBM”, “Eurobattery” or “the Company”) today announced a new research collaboration with the University of Uppsala on mining for rare earth elements (REE) in its Swedish Fetsjön project. The partnership aims to investigate the opportunity for large-scale extraction of REE using existing methods. REE are critical components for electric vehicles and other electric equipment and raw materials classified as “critical” by the European Union.
“We are excited to start this new phase in our battery mineral project in Fetsjön with a renewed collaboration with the University of Uppsala. Removing Europe’s dependency on REE is a top priority for European industries and politicians. In this context, Eurobattery Minerals aims to meet this need with responsibly mined battery minerals,” said Roberto García Martínez, CEO of Eurobattery Minerals.
Together with the University of Uppsala in Sweden, Eurobattery Minerals will engage and co-sponsor a new research initiative focusing on the large-scale extraction of REE from the mineral monazite. As opposed to other minerals where REE occurs, monazite doesn’t include uranium, thus enabling REE to be extracted without the risk of unwanted side effects.
According to samples from previous extensive drilling campaigns carried out from 2006 to 2007 in 52 drill holes, the monazite in Fetsjön has proven to consist of REE with as high occurrences as 30%. In addition to Fetsjön, Eurobattery Minerals also holds an exploration permit for the much larger Rönnberget. Located close to Fetsjön, Rönnberget has a similar geology. Test drilling and analysis conducted in 2016 indicate that monazite is available in several locations in Rönnberget.
The research project commences immediately and will be headed by Jaroslaw Majka, Professor at the Department of Earth Sciences at the University of Uppsala.

Stockholm, 7 December 2022 – SRH AlsterResearch’s analysts have initiated coverage of Eurobattery Minerals AB (Nordic Growth Market: BAT and Börse Stuttgart: EBM; in short: “EBM”, “Eurobattery” or “the Company”). The independent analysts have issued a speculative BUY recommendation with a price target of SEK 12.25 for the shares of the junior miner focused on the responsible mining of battery minerals. At the current share price of SEK 4.73, this corresponds to a price potential of 159%. The corresponding euro target price is EUR 1.12 based on an exchange rate of EUR 0.0918 per SEK (current share price: EUR 0.43). The assessment is based on EBM’s good positioning to benefit from the rapidly increasing demand for minerals such as nickel, cobalt or copper, which are essential for the electrification of the global Automobile industry. EBM will be able to meet this demand thanks to the high forecast mineral deposits.
The calculation of the target price is based on a post money valuation, taking into account the current capital increase of up to SEK 50 million, which is intended to increase the Company´s stake in the main resource Hautalampi. The analysts’ valuation so far only takes into account the existing 40% share in Hautalampi. The expansion of the shareholding expected during the capital measure consequently offers further upside potential.
In its initial study, AlsterResearch highlights that EBM’s projects are located exclusively in tier-1 countries such as Sweden, Finland and Spain. Ethical, traceable, and environmentally friendly aspects make EBM an ideal ESG-compliant investment and complete the analysts´ overall positive outlook. Moreover, EBM has a strong track record of increasing mineral estimates of flagship projects. This reflects well on the quality and assessment capability of EBM’s Management. A contributing factor to the analysts’ positive assessment is the fact that EBM’s main resources at Hautalampi, Finland, are categorized as “measured resources” with a probability greater than 90% of resource availability and purity, and these have already reached the feasibility stage. This sets EBM apart from other mining companies that have less mature and therefore less probable mining resources.
