Stockholm, 8th February 2022 – Eurobattery Minerals AB (Nordic Growth Market: “BAT” and Börse Stuttgart: “EBM”), a growth company in the mining and exploration industry with the vision to help Europe become self-sufficient in ethical battery minerals, today announces that FinnCobalt Oy has informed the company about its expansion in eastern Finland with a new granted reservation for applying an exploration permit over the highly prospective Varislahti prospect (“the Varislahti prospect”). The prospect covers over 23.6 km2 of ground highly prospective for Outokumpu-type deposits (cobalt-copper-nickel-zinc-gold). Eurobattery Minerals has the option to acquire 100% of FinnCobalt Oy in a staged acquisition.

“To meet Europe’s high and ever-increasing demand for battery minerals, the region needs to open more mines for these critical raw materials. Based on this demand, exploring new mineral deposits is a fundamental part of our business and I am very pleased that we are expanding our operations further in Finland, one of the most mining friendly countries in Europe”, said Roberto García Martínez, CEO of Eurobattery Minerals.

Key points:

FinnCobalt expands its footprint in eastern Finland being granted a reservation for exploration over the highly prospective Varislahti project.
Located ~10km west from the FinnCobalt Hautalampi project, Varislahti contains similar prospective rocks known to contain Co-Cu-Ni-Zn deposits.
In the area there is already one known deposit, Riihilahti deposit with historical mineral resources defined at total 0.7 Mt @ Cu 0.72 %, Co 0.09 %, Ni 0.03 %, Zn 0.09 %, Au 0.3 ppm, Ag 6 ppm, S 3.84 %
In addition, the area has historical drilling with some very interesting battery metals drill core intersections including:
- Usi-11 8.6m @ Cu 0.23 %, Co 0.25 % inc. 1.25m @ Cu 0.46 %, Co 0.61 %
- Usi-10 0.95m @ Cu 0.59 %, Co 0.09 %
FinnCobalt Oy will commence works in the area by compiling existing geological information and will prepare a plan for future exploration in the area.

The Varislahti cobalt-copper-nickel-zinc prospect is ideally located to infrastructure and FinnCobalt’s current base of operations being approximately 10 km west of the Hautalampi project (Fig. 1).

Importantly, the prospective Outokumpu-type rock formations occur in the reservation area. The same formation hosts the Hautalampi Ni-Co-Cu deposit and other major mineral prospects and deposits. A reservation gives priority right to FinnCobalt to apply for an exploration permit over the area.

Due to delays at the lab because of the Covid-19 pandemic, the results will be presented in the first quarter of 2022.

“We are pleased to announce the completion of the drilling campaigns in both the Hautalampi and Corcel projects, where we see great potential for mining battery minerals on European soil. We are now eagerly awaiting the results from the lab,” comments Roberto Garcia, CEO of Eurobattery Minerals.

About the Hautalampi project drilling campaign

FinnCobalt Oy has informed Eurobattery Minerals that the recent core drilling campaign at the Hautalampi Mine development project (“Phase 2”) has been completed on schedule and on budget. Eurobattery Minerals has the option to acquire 100% of FinnCobalt Oy in a staged acquisition.

FinnCobalt Oy commenced a new drilling campaign in mid-October 2021 in the Hautalampi mine project development area. The campaign covered the previously non-drilled gap area between the Hautalampi deposit and the north-eastern extension of the project, known as the Mökkivaara deposits, and aimed to verify resources between these already established deposits.

In total, 45 holes have been completed totalling 4,606 metres in length. The Phase 2 drilling campaign will continue with core logging and assaying, which is expected to be completed during the first quarter of 2022. This will be followed by the mineral resource update to be completed in the second quarter of 2022.

The main goals of the Phase 2 drilling campaign were:

Convert inferred resource to indicated resource at the Hautalampi resource area through drilling the most important gaps in the currently existing indicated resource zone (Hautalampi-Resource conversion).
Extend the Hautalampi resource area further to the north-east (Central-Resource extension).
Fill the drilling gap between the existing Hautalampi resource area and the north-eastern extension known as the Mökkivaara resource area (Central-Gap fill).
Create an indicated mineral resource of the Mökkivaara resource by increasing the drilling density.

Based on the visual observations of the drill cores, the campaign is expected to reach all the goals set.

About the Corcel project drilling campaign

The diamond drilling campaign in Eurobattery Minerals’ Spanish Corcel project initiated in June 2021 has been completed on budget and on schedule.

Key points from the 2021 drilling campaign:

The drilling campaign initiated in June 2021 at the Corcel Project has been completed.
A total of seven diamond drill holes were completed at a total drilled length of 1,134 metres.
Work in this campaign focused on the “West Anomaly,” where drill hole COR003 (19DD001) confirmed at depth the favourable results obtained in the geochemical campaign, with an average of 69m @ 0.30% Ni, 0.038% Cu, 0.01%.

A total of seven diamond drill holes were completed at a total drilled length of 1,134 metres. Work focused on the “West Anomaly,” where the company’s previous exploration work recorded ground anomalies of up to 0.33% Ni coincident with an increase in the magnetic response of the underlying rocks. DDH COR003 (19DD0001) confirmed the source of the anomaly in this area with an average grade of 69m @ 0.30% Ni, 0.038% Cu, 0.01% Co from 78m, including 21m @ 0.345% Ni, 0.045% Cu, 0.011% Co from 78m depth. Work will continue with the logging and sampling of the drill holes and is expected to be completed in the first quarter of 2022.

The objective of this campaign was to fully recognise this anomaly and obtain a resource estimate in this area. Based on the core observations in the boreholes, the campaign is expected to achieve its objective and a proven resource estimate in accordance with National Instrument 43-101 – Standards for Disclosure for Minerals Projects (“NI 43-101”) is expected in the first quarter of 2022.

FinnCobalt Oy has joined BATTRACE, a Finnish research project focusing on traceability and sustainable processing of battery metals. Eurobattery Minerals has the option to acquire 100% of FinnCobalt Oy in a staged acquisition.
FinnCobalt’s role in the project will be the delivery of nickel-cobalt concentrate material from the Hautalampi mine development project for further traceability studies.
The BATTRACE project, which will extent over three years, involves several industry partners, of which FinnCobalt Oy is one.

Stockholm,22 November 2021. Eurobattery Minerals AB (Nordic Growth Market: “BAT” and Börse Stuttgart “EBM”), today announced that FinnCobalt Oy has informed the company that it has joined BATTRACE, a Finnish research project focusing on traceability and sustainable processing of battery metals. Eurobattery Minerals has the option to acquire 100% of FinnCobalt Oy in a staged acquisition.

“Identification of the geographical origin of battery minerals, and the ability to track this along the value chain – from mine to battery cell – will create a competitive edge for future battery manufacturing. Joining this project will help our acquisition target FinnCobalt Oy and the Hautalampi mine project to participate in and monitor developments in this important area,” said Roberto García Martínez, CEO of Eurobattery Minerals.

FinnCobalt’s role in the project will be the delivery of nickel-cobalt concentrate material from the Hautalampi mine development project for further traceability studies. FinnCobalt has obtained this battery metals concentrate from its earlier extensive process development testing work, which was conducted by GTK Mintec and Outotec Oyj metallurgical laboratories, Finland.

The three-year BATTRACE project (Sustainable processing and traceability of battery metals, minerals, and materials), run by research partners VTT Technical Research Centre of Finland and Geological Survey of Finland (GTK), focuses on the traceability of battery metals, minerals and materials, and the optimisation of production processes. The project involves several industry partners, of which FinnCobalt Oy is one.

The traceability of raw materials is becoming increasingly important as the raw materials produced by the mining industry are required to come from well-known and responsibly operated sources. At present, it is not clear to what extent different analytical methods could be used to verify the origin of the metals used in the production of batteries. Verification of the origin of metals is important in the sustainable production of batteries. Each ore deposit has its own fingerprint based on its mineralogical and geochemical composition. The BATTRACE project identifies this fingerprint and investigates its preservation along the value chain. Improving the sustainability of battery production also requires optimised production processes that recover metals from ores and process them into raw materials for responsible battery producers.

About the Hautalampi project

The Hautalampi Project is located at the same site as the famous Keretti (Outokumpu) copper mine (Figure 1). Approximately 28.5Mt @ 3.8% Cu was mined at Keretti from 1912 – 1989. The Hautalampi Ni-Co-Cu orebody is located parallel and above the exploited copper deposit. Existing surface and underground infrastructure, including a high voltage power line, concrete foundations and roads, provide significant location advantages to the project. Approximately €10-15M has been invested in Hautalampi by previous owners, including 26,000m of core drilling, a decline and additional underground mine development works (2,100m), mineral resource and reserve estimates, multiple mineral processing studies and a feasibility study. The previous investment enables FinnCobalt Oy and BAT to fast-track the project to an updated feasibility study status.

Stockholm, 21. September 2021, Eurobattery Minerals AB (Nordic Growth Market: “BAT” and Börse Stuttgart “EBM”), today announced the result of a new survey on electric cars and sustainability. The survey is conducted in Sweden and Germany by the research company YouGov in August 2021 targeting Swedes and Germans who currently owns or leases, or are interested in buying or leasing, an electric or hybrid car.

“We wanted to conduct this survey to get better insights on how the end consumer value sustainability in connection to electric cars and batteries and it’s clear that sustainability is really a top priority for most people thinking about an electric car. The results are also somewhat challenging for the automotive industry as a large proportion of the respondents would refrain from buying the car if the battery minerals are sourced in an unsustainable way. Today many car companies are struggling with sustainable sourcing and its obvious that we need more battery minerals mines in Europe as well as increased traceability about the production process”,says Roberto García Martínez, CEO of Eurobattery Minerals

The report with the results of the survey can be found here https://eurobatteryminerals.com/pdf/bat-survery-swe-ger.pdf.

About the survey

The survey was conducted by the analysis institute YouGov simultaneously in Sweden and Germany. A total of 2,017-computer assisted web interviews took place of Swedes and a total of 2,129 of Germans aged 18+ between 11–16 August 2021 targeting individuals who currently own or lease – or are interested in buying or leasing – an electric or hybrid car.

In the survey “sustainability” has been defined using the UN definition: meeting the needs of the present without compromising the ability of future generations to meet their own needs.
