Stockholm, 28 August 2025 – The mining company Eurobattery Minerals AB (Nordic Growth Market: “BAT” and Börse Stuttgart: “EBM”; in short: “Eurobattery Minerals” or the “Company”) announces that its Spanish subsidiary Tungsten San Juan S.L. (“TSJ”) has launched an archaeological control and monitoring service as part of the development of its San Juan tungsten project in Galicia. Initial archaeological studies—conducted by a Galician firm specializing in archaeological services and with headquarters in Ourense—have not identified any potential archaeological areas within the San Juan Project concession. Eurobattery Minerals, in compliance with current Spanish regulations regarding cultural heritage and following industry best practices, reaffirms its commitment to responsible and transparent management that respects both mining and environmental legislation, together with the cultural and historical heritage of the area. Despite the lack of initial archaeological findings, recognised archaeological experts have presented a further preliminary archaeological programme, which will be carried out alongside the work in the mining concession area to ensure a harmonious coexistence between mining activity and the surrounding environment.
Archaeological control and monitoring are being conducted by an accredited Galician firm specializing in scientific archaeological projects in both rural and urban settings.
Upfront the firm has conducted a study based on historical archives and visits to the concession areas, with the aim of evaluating the possible existence of archaeological remains in the vicinity of the project area.
“At Eurobattery Minerals, we work to the highest European standards, ensuring that every step of our projects complies with mining, environmental, and cultural heritage legislation. Our goal is to develop crucial resources for Europe in the most responsible way, protecting both the natural environment and the historical heritage of the communities where we operate,” says Roberto García Martínez, CEO of Eurobattery Minerals.
Although no areas of archaeological interest have been identified within the current mining concession, Eurobattery Minerals and Tungsten San Juan value the importance of identifying, protecting, and documenting archaeological heritage as part of their commitment to responsible and sustainable development.
“Collaborating with local experts demonstrates our proactive approach to respecting Galicia's cultural and historical environment. We want to make a positive contribution to the local community, beyond the strictly legal and technical requirements," says Agne Ahlenius, Managing Director of Tungsten San Juan, a subsidiary of Eurobattery Minerals.
Archaeologists from the local firm in Ourense are also expected to be present during the initial clearing work and the initial removal of the topsoil. This approach will allow careful observation of the terrain to identify possible findings without compromising its integrity.
The accredited archaeological firm has submitted the first technical project with a recommendation program for control and monitoring during the upcoming months, in compliance with regional and national regulations for heritage protection.
This first technical program has already been submitted to the local government, Xunta de Galicia. Eurobattery Minerals continues to progress as planned toward the start of tungsten production in the fourth quarter of 2026, integrating sustainability, safety, and social responsibility criteria into all phases of the San Juan tungsten project.
Stockholm, 11 August 2025 – The mining company Eurobattery Minerals AB (Nordic Growth Market: “BAT” and Börse Stuttgart: “EBM”; in short: “Eurobattery Minerals” or the “Company”) today communicates that its Spanish subsidiary Tungsten San Juan S.L. (“TSJ”) has started the work in the open pit mine at the wolfram project San Juan in Galicia, Spain. This work is in line with our investment strategy and is the first step in the process to start wolfram production by the end of 2026.
TSJ has engaged a local, experienced contractor from the Ourense region to perform the earth movements in the mine. With previous experience in mining projects, the local company complies with the strictest occupational health, safety, and environmental regulations.
“As part of our local content policy, we are committed to hiring regional service providers and contractors whenever possible, ensuring that the San Juan project delivers tangible benefits to the local economy and community. We are pleased to collaborate with a skilled local contractor and proud to contribute to regional development as we move closer to responsible tungsten production in Europe,” said Roberto García Martinez, CEO of Eurobattery Minerals.
The work in the mine includes improvement of the infrastructure as well as stripping of waste and ore material, using excavators and trucks. The work in the open pit mine is conducted without the necessity of using blasting, thanks to the soft characteristics of the rock. This marks the beginning for tungsten production, scheduled to commence in Q4 2026.
“Starting the work in the mine with a trusted local partner reflects our commitment to both responsible mining and local engagement. The proximity sourcing policy is a core pillar of our work here at TSJ. This is an important project for Ourense, for Galicia, and Europe, so I am really excited to get things going!” said Agne Ahlenius, Managing Director of TSJ.
The San Juan mine is located near the town of A Gudiña, in the province of Ourense in Galicia, Spain. The first proven ore reserves, that have been confirmed by core drilling at the San Juan project, are an estimated 60,000 tons of ore. The tungsten (WO3) grade is high – 1.3% – contributing to the project's economic viability.

Stockholm, 14 July 2025 – The mining company Eurobattery Minerals AB (Nordic Growth Market: “BAT” and Börse Stuttgart: “EBM”; in short: “Eurobattery Minerals” or the “Company”) announces today, that the Company has entered an agreement with the Spanish company Tungsten San Juan S.L. (“TSJ”) – owner of the San Juan wolfram project in Galicia, in northern Spain – regarding a planned initial investment from Eurobattery Minerals totalling EUR 1.5 million for a 51 per cent ownership stake in TSJ on a fully diluted basis. The investment is structured as primary shares in TSJ and payable by Eurobattery Minerals in four-tranches – where EUR 100,000 was paid upon signing of the agreement, EUR 100,000 is to be paid in the third and the fourth quarter of 2025, and EUR 1.2 million is to be paid in the first quarter of 2026. As per the agreement, Eurobattery Minerals controls 51 per cent majority stake in the San Juan wolfram project since the first-tranche payment. The planned investment totalling EUR 1.5 million in TSJ will be allocated for construction of a pilot processing plant and the start of mining operations. The San Juan wolfram project has all the necessary licences and contracts to commence mining production, including a letter of intent for an off-take agreement with Wolfram Bergbau und Hütten AG, an Austrian world-leading tungsten producer within the Swedish Sandvik Group. Given that TSJ has already secured a specialized and reliable European buyer for the extracted mineral, TSJ will be able to start delivering tungsten material to Europe in 2026. With this investment, TSJ is expected to start to generate positive cash flow in H2 2026. The agreement with TSJ is part of the previous non-binding letter of intent between Eurobattery Minerals and TSJ which was communicated on May 7, 2024, but with renegotiated and more favourable terms of the investment for the Company.
"Finally entering into an agreement for a short-term cash-flow-generating project marks a game-changing moment for Eurobattery Minerals. For the first time, we move from a pure exploration and development company to a company with real future revenue potential. This shift not only strengthens our financial foundation but also accelerates our ability to reinvest in our core battery mineral assets. It is a major step toward delivering long-term value for our shareholders and establishing ourselves as a more resilient, growth-oriented mining company", said Roberto García Martínez, CEO of Eurobattery Minerals.
The "San Juan" mine is located near the town of A Gudiña, in the province of Ourense in Galicia, Spain. This wolfram deposit has been known since the 1970 but began to be investigated in the mid-1980s when extensive field work was conducted in the area, including geological cartography and outcrop-trenches. This work revealed high grades of tungsten trioxide (WO3), of the order of 2 per cent in the recognized outcrops.
The proven ore reserves that have been confirmed by core drilling at the deposit are an estimated 60,000 tons of ore, grading 1.3% WO₃. The geological potential for a much larger reservoir is high, but any additional resources need to be confirmed by further explorations.
Introduction and key points of the TSJ investment and the project:
On May 7, 2024, Eurobattery Minerals announced that the Company had signed a non-binding letter of intent with Tungsten San Juan S.L. concerning an investment in TSJ. As part of the previous non-binding letter of intent with TSJ, Eurobattery Minerals can today announce that the Company and TSJ have entered an agreement, on revised terms from the previous letter of intent, which concerns a four-tranche investment in TSJ totalling EUR 1.5 million for an ownership stake of 51 per cent on a fully diluted basis in TSJ.
- Eurobattery Minerals will make an investment of EUR 1.5 million in TSJ for an ownership stake of 51 per cent on a fully diluted basis. The first initial payment of EUR 100,000 was made when the agreement was signed.
- The Company controls 51 percent of the votes in TSJ from the first initial tranche payment of EUR 100,000.
- The investment is structured as primary shares in TSJ and the full investment amount would primarily be used for the design and construction of a pilot processing plant as well as working capital for the start of mining operations, including production.
- With the EUR 1.5 million investment, TSJ is expected to start to generate positive cash flow in H2 2026. No further explorations or drilling are needed to start to generate positive cash flow.
- The San Juan wolfram mining project has all the necessary licences and contracts in place to commence mining production, including a letter of intent for an off-take agreement with Wolfram Bergbau und Hütten AG, an Austrian world-leading tungsten producer within the Swedish Sandvik Group.
- Eurobattery Minerals´ investment, in combination with the letter of intent for an off-take agreement with Wolfram Bergbau und Hütten AG, will enable TSJ to start delivering tungsten material to Europe in H2 2026.
- The Company´s cash investment is payable in four-tranches. The first initial EUR 100,000 has already been executed in conjunction with signing of the agreement with TSJ. The remaining three tranche-payments will be paid as follows:
– Q3-2025: EUR 100,000
– Q4-2025: EUR 100,000
– Q1-2026: EUR 1.2 million - The Company intends to complete the final tranche-payment of EUR 1.2 million in January of 2026.
- Tungsten is a critical raw material with several unique properties like high density, hardness, and heat resistance. Tungsten is used widely in industrial applications and in many other important sectors, e.g. defence-, aerospace-, electronics- and energy applications. With tungsten being a critical raw material for the defence industry, it is important for Europe to develop domestic or allied sources of tungsten to safeguard critical defence capabilities, to offset supply disruption vulnerabilities that directly could compromise national security and defence readiness. The mineral’s exceptional physical properties makes it an absolute vital resource for the contemporary industrial economy.
- Tungsten is a highly lucrative monetary commodity and has maintained a stable price between USD 250 and USD 350 per metric ton unit (“MTU”) during the period between 2023-2025, contributing to the project's economic viability.
