Stockholm, 14 November 2022 – The mining company Eurobattery Minerals AB (Nordic Growth Market: “BAT” and Börse Stuttgart: “EBM”; in short: “EBM”, “Eurobattery” or “the Company”), today announced the extension of all its seven exploration permits in Sweden with one year.

“I am pleased that we have extended our exploration permits in Sweden. We need more mines in Europe to meet the need for responsible and European mined battery minerals to power the electric revolution as well as clean energy. Several of our Swedish projects have the potential to provide these critical raw materials and could thus contribute to an increased self-sufficiency of battery minerals in Europe,” said Roberto García Martínez, CEO of Eurobattery Minerals.

The Swedish Mining Inspectorate has decided that all Eurobattery Minerals exploration permits have been automatically extended by one year. The extension is a result of legislative change mitigating the effects of Covid-19, which extends the validity of all exploration permits that were in force on 9 June this year.

Eurobattery Minerals held seven (7) exploration permits for battery minerals in Sweden and the Swedish Mining Inspectorate has confirmed that all of these have now been extended one year.

Below is a list with all Eurobattery Minerals held exploration permits in Sweden including mineral and metal focus along with its location.

The Board of Directors of Eurobattery Minerals AB (Nordic Growth Market: BAT and Börse Stuttgart: EBM; in short: "Eurobattery" or the "Company") has today, subject to the approval of the Extraordinary General Meeting on 30 November 2022, decided to carry out a rights issue of a maximum of 16,522,237 units (the "Rights issue"). One (1) unit consists of one (1) share and one (1) warrant. The subscription price for a unit is SEK 3.00, whereby Eurobattery upon full subscription in the Rights issue would obtain approximately SEK 49.6 million before issue costs. For each (1) existing share in the Company, one (1) unit right is obtained. One (1) unit right entitles the holder to subscribe for one (1) unit. The subscription period commences on 7 December and ends on 21 December 2022. The Board of Directors has also decided to propose that the Extraordinary General Meeting authorises the Board of Directors to decide on an over-allotment issue of units of approximately SEK 15.0 million (the "Over-allotment issue") on the same terms as in the Rights issue. In connection with the Rights issue, the Company has undertaken to partially repay the outstanding convertible loan to Formue Nord Fokus A/S, which has committed to set off the rest of the convertible loan against a newly issued convertible loan of SEK 10.0 million (the "Convertible issue"). As part of the agreement regarding the repayment of the outstanding convertible loan, Formue Nord Fokus A/S will receive 3,333,333 warrants of the same series as the warrants issued through the Rights Issue free of charge. Upon full subscription in the Rights Issue, the number of shares in the Company will increase by 16,522,237 shares, and upon full utilisation of the Over-allotment issue, the number of shares will increase by an additional 5,000,000 shares before any exercise of warrants. In addition, the number of shares can increase by a maximum of 24,855,570 shares upon full utilisation of all warrants, assuming full subscription in the Rights issue and the Over-allotment issue. The proceeds from the Rights issue and the warrants will be used for partial repayment of the current convertible loan to Formue Nord Fokus A/S, completion of the acquisition of FinnCobalt Oy ("FinnCobalt"), as well as to finance the development of the mining operations in Hautalampi and Corcel. The Rights issue is secured to approximately SEK 24.8 million, corresponding to 50.0 per cent of the Rights issue, by subscription and underwriting commitments.

The transaction in brief

Background and motive in brief

Eurobattery is a mining and exploration company that conducts targeted mineral exploration in Europe with a focus on raw materials for the ongoing electrification (for example nickel, copper and cobalt). The Company currently has two flagship projects focusing on nickel, cobalt and copper in northwestern Spain and eastern Finland.

Since 1 July 2022, Eurobattery holds 40 per cent of FinnCobalt Oy and the Hautalampi project due to the investment agreement that was signed in May 2020. The Company intends to complete the acquisition of 100 per cent of the shares in FinnCobalt during the first half of 2023. The development in Hautalampi has been favourable and in June 2021 the Company was able to increase the project’s measured, indicated and inferred resource tonnage by approximately 100 per cent and the metal content by approximately 50 per cent. In October 2022 the Company was able to confirm a further increase in the metal content of approximately 40 per cent. In addition to the completion of the acquisition of Hautalampi, the Company expects to publish an updated preliminary economic assessment (PEA) and a preliminary feasibility study (PFS) for Hautalampi during Q1 2023.

The Spanish Corcel project has also shown good progress since the Company’s acquisition of Corcel Minerals S.L. in February 2019. During June 2022, based on previous studies and established NI 43-101 report, the Company was able to estimate the deposit at approximately 60 million tonnes with a significant nickel content. With only 10 per cent of the deposit, the Company could supply nickel for the production of at least 500,000 car batteries. In August 2022, Corcel was taken one step closer to its mining phase when the necessary information for completion of the environmental impact statement and the operating permit was submitted to local authorities. The Company is expected to publish new metallurgical results in Q4 2022 and to start a third drilling campaign in Q1 2023, with the aim of accelerating Corcel to the same project stage as Hautalampi.

With respect to Eurobattery's development plans, the Company’s assessment is that the existing working capital is not sufficient to finance the operations going forward. Thus, the Board of Directors has decided, subject the approval of the Extraordinary General Meeting on 30 November 2022, to carry out the Rights issue of units of approximately SEK 49.6 million. The net proceeds from the Rights Issue and any exercise of the associated warrants are intended to be used for the following purposes, arranged in order of priority:

In order to take advantage of an over-subscription in the Rights issue, the Company has undertaken to offer additional units, corresponding to a maximum of SEK 15.0 million through the Over-allotment issue. The net proceeds from the Over-allotment issue and the warrants are intended to contribute to increased financial flexibility with respect to what has been described above.

Terms of the Rights issue, the Over-allotment issue and the Convertible issue

The Board of Directors of Eurobattery has today, on 31 October 2022, subject to the approval of the Extraordinary General Meeting on 30 November 2022, decided to carry out a Rights issue of a maximum of 16,522,237 units with preferential rights for existing shareholders. The Board of Directors has also proposed the Extraordinary General Meeting to authorise the Board of Directors to decide on an Over-allotment issue of SEK 15.0 million (5,000,000 units) in order to take advantage of any over-subscription in the Rights issue.

The main terms of the Rights issue are presented below:

The subscription price and the other terms of the Over-allotment issue are the same as those of the Rights issue.

Since 7 April 2022, Eurobattery has an outstanding convertible loan with a nominal value of SEK 18.0 million to Formue Nord Fokus A/S, which entitles the holder to conversion of up to 1,200,000 new shares in the Company at a conversion price of SEK 15.0 per share. In connection with the Rights issue, the Company has undertaken to repay SEK 8.0 million of the current convertible loan to Formue Nord Fokus A/S, who has committed to offset the remaining convertible loan against a newly issued convertible loan with a nominal value of SEK 10.0 million. As part of the agreement regarding the repayment of the outstanding convertible loan, Formue Nord Fokus A/S will obtain 3,333,333 warrants free of charge, of the same series as those issued free of charge as part of the Rights issue. The terms of the convertible, including the conversion price, have been established through negotiations with Formue Nord Fokus A/S and are deemed by the Board of Directors to be at market. The main conditions for the Convertible issue are stated below:

Subscription and underwriting commitments

Prior to the publication of the Rights issue, the Company's Chairman Henrik Johannesson, Board member and CEO Roberto García Martínez (through fully owned company), and CFO Mattias Modén (through fully owned company) have entered into subscription commitments corresponding to their respective pro-rata shares amounting to a total of approximately SEK 1.3 million, or 2.6 per cent, of the Rights issue. In addition, current shareholders have entered into subscription commitments amounting to a total of approximately SEK 0.4 million, or 0.8 per cent. Furthermore, Roberto García Martínez, as well as a consortium of existing and external investors have entered into underwriting commitments amounting to a total of approximately SEK 23.1 million, or 46.6 per cent, of the Rights Issue.

The subscription commitments do not entitle to any compensation. The underwriting commitments entitle to an underwriting fee amounting to twelve (12) per cent in cash, implying a maximum cash cost of approximately SEK 2.8 million for the Company, or alternatively, fourteen (14) per cent in the form of units. The subscription price for the units referred to in the underwriting compensation will be based on the volume-weighted average price for the Company's shares during the subscription period for the Rights issue, but not less than SEK 3.00.

Overall, the Rights issue is secured by subscription and underwriting commitments amounting to a total of approximately SEK 24.8 million, corresponding to 50.0 per cent of the Rights issue. Neither the subscription commitments nor the underwriting commitments are secured by bank guarantees, escrow funds, pledge or similar arrangements.

Representative survey: 48 percent are willing to pay a higher price for sustainable battery production – 57 percent support more mining in Europe for critical minerals

Electromobility is the buzz word of our time. But where do the raw materials that are urgently needed for the electric revolution come from? Lithium, cobalt, nickel, and copper – without these minerals, the manufacture of batteries and thus the production of electric cars is not possible.

The mining company Eurobattery Minerals  (Nordic Growth Market: BAT and Börse Stuttgart: EBM) wanted to know what the end customer, i.e. the car buyer, thinks about the procurement of these minerals, especially from countries like Congo, Chile, China or Russia – in other words, from countries where little attention is paid to decent working conditions, environmental protection or the prohibition of child labour.

The results of the representative survey commissioned by Eurobattery Minerals and conducted by the analysis institute YouGov show that sustainability is the top priority for most people considering the purchase of an electric car/hybrid. The willingness of German citizens to buy an electric or hybrid as their next car has also increased by 18 percent compared to the previous year. Whereas last year 66 percent categorically refused to even think about buying or leasing an electric or hybrid car, this year only 48 percent did so. The main results of the survey:

Eurobattery Minerals announced the result of the electric car and sustainability survey today.

“We had a similar survey done a year ago and were curious to see what had changed in the behaviour of the citizens due to inflation, gas and electricity crisis and Ukraine war. It showed that many more people are now thinking about buying an electric car and that their main motivation is the sustainable production of all components – especially the battery. An astonishing 57 percent of respondents were in favour of more mining in Europe to ensure decent working conditions and respect for the environment when mining critical minerals. This is a clear vote and should give politicians food for thought,” says Roberto García Martínez, CEO of Eurobattery Minerals.

About the survey

The survey was conducted by the analysis institute YouGov in the period from 3 to 5 August 2022. The survey is based on a total of 2051 online interviews with German citizens aged 18 and over from the YouGov Panel Germany. The members of the panel have agreed to participate in online interviews.

Stockholm, 1 July 2022 – The mining company Eurobattery Minerals AB (Nordic Growth Market: BAT and Börse Stuttgart: EBM; in short: “EBM”, “Eurobattery” or “the company”), today announced the closing of the acquisition of a 40% stake in FinnCobalt Oy, the current owner of the ground and all mining rights of the Finnish Hautalampi nickel-cobalt-copper project. In consideration of the transaction, the Board of Directors of Eurobattery Minerals today completed a directed issue of 802,734 shares with a total value of EUR 1,000,002. Further to this, EUR 250,000 in cash was paid to the three current owners of FinnCobalt. Eurobattery Minerals has the option to acquire 100% of the shares in FinnCobalt by 2024 at the latest.

“Today’s closing marks an important milestone in the 100% takeover intention of the promising Hautalampi battery minerals project announced in 2020. Alongside the financial aspects of the project, we are constantly making important progress towards establishing a battery mineral mine in Finland to provide Europe with responsibly mined battery minerals from Europe,” said Roberto García Martínez, CEO of Eurobattery Minerals AB.

Transaction details

To finalize the transaction of the 40% stake in FinnCobalt Oy, the Board of Directors of Eurobattery Minerals today fulfilled the acquisition contract by paying a total of EUR 250,000 in cash to the three founders of FinnCobalt. Furthermore, the company completed a directed issue of 802,734 shares with a total value of EUR 1,000,002 to the three founders of FinnCobalt, issuing EUR 333,334 each. The terms of the deal finalized today are in line with the financial details of the acquisition agreed on in May 2020.

About the Hautalampi mine development project

Hautalampi is located at the same site as the well-known Outokumpu copper mine where approximately 28.5 million tons of rock with a copper content of 3.8% were mined from 1912–1989. The nickel-cobalt-copper orebody in Hautalampi 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 EUR 10 million – 15 million has been invested in Hautalampi by previous owners, including 26,000 meters of core drilling, a decline and additional underground mine development works (2,100 meters), mineral resource and reserve estimates, multiple mineral processing studies and a feasibility study.

Hietajärvi and Varislahti add additional potential to Hautalampi battery mineral project

The Hautalampi mine project is located in the historical mining area of Outokumpu, eastern Finland. Through the acquisition, Eurobattery Minerals has also obtained two additional reservation notifications for highly prospective grounds in Hietajärvi and Varislahti. Both prospective areas are located in close proximity to the mining centre in Hautalampi, and both have been found to contain similar rock formations as in Hautalampi, containing nickel, copper and cobalt.

The conversion from SEK to EUR was done on 30 June 2022: SEK 1 = EUR 0.09320, EUR 1 = SEK 10.73.
