The completion of the basic engineering provides the technical foundation for the next phase of project execution. In parallel, the Company has placed orders for the main process equipment, with manufacturing already underway at international suppliers to the mining industry. The placed orders represent an investment of several million euros, covered by financing already available for the project.

This progress builds on the project’s established regulatory foundation. San Juan has a 30-year extension to its mining licence, valid until 2055, providing long-term regulatory stability.

“The completion of the basic engineering and the start of manufacturing of the main equipment mark a decisive step for San Juan. We are no longer talking only about planning: we are moving towards project execution. We have selected internationally recognised manufacturers and are now moving forward with the key components of the future plant. The objective is clear: to move towards tungsten production in Europe and contribute to strengthening the security of supply of a strategic raw material for our industry,” says Roberto García Martínez, CEO of Eurobattery Minerals.

The main equipment for the crushing section has been awarded to an international manufacturer of technologies for the mining industry. The equipment for the grinding plant has been ordered from a manufacturer specialising in large-scale equipment for mining and heavy industry, which will manufacture the equipment at its facilities in Galicia.

The Company has also advanced the procurement of equipment for the gravity concentration circuit. The shaking tables and concentration spirals have been ordered from two international manufacturers specialising in this type of equipment. This is conventional gravity concentration technology, consistent with the results of metallurgical testwork conducted on San Juan ore.

In addition, Tungsten San Juan has completed the technical and commercial negotiations for the remaining equipment that will form part of the processing plant, including screens, hydrocyclones, thickeners, tanks, pumps, pump boxes and other auxiliary equipment. Final awards for these supplies will be made shortly, taking into account criteria including performance, operational reliability and safety.

“Receiving the final basic engineering report and starting the manufacturing of the main equipment are important steps for the project. At this stage, we are moving from engineering into execution, ensuring that the different equipment packages and plant systems are properly defined and coordinated. Our objective is to move forward in a structured way, with a continued focus on quality, safety and the efficiency of the future operation,” says Pedro Jiménez de Francisco, Project Director of Tungsten San Juan S.L.

Tungsten is a strategic raw material for Europe, with applications in sectors including defence, aerospace, energy, advanced manufacturing and other industrial technologies. Europe is highly dependent on imports and supply is highly concentrated: according to Eurostat, in 2025 China accounted for 68% of the value of European imports of ferrotungsten, followed by Vietnam with 21% and Kazakhstan with 8%*. Together, these three countries accounted for 97% of external supplies of this material to the EU, highlighting the importance of developing European sources of supply.

Forward-looking statements
This press release contains forward-looking statements. Such statements are based on the Company’s current expectations and assumptions and are subject to risks, uncertainties and other factors that could cause actual results or developments to differ materially from those expressed or implied by the forward-looking statements.

The programme, carried out between April and July 2026 in consultation with Minepro Solutions, aimed to determine the concentrate grade and tungsten recovery achievable through conventional gravity concentration.

The tests conducted by SLR Consulting were performed exclusively using a gravity-based circuit. No flotation, no chemical separation reagents and with conventional off-the-shelf equipment.

Main results

The tested circuit, comprising hydrocyclone desliming, spiral concentration, a scavenging stage and a cleaning stage, recovered 49.9% of the tungsten contained in the feed into a concentrate mass equivalent to 0.7% of the original feed. All equipment used is conventional and commercially available: hydrocyclone, spirals, shaking tables and thickener.

Pedro E. Jiménez de Francisco, Project Director of Tungsten San Juan S.L., comments:
“The work programme carried out by SLR has enabled us to thoroughly characterise the behaviour of the ore through an extensive programme of metallurgical tests and mineralogical studies specifically designed to support the engineering and project definition phases.

The results obtained by SLR have been highly satisfactory and not only confirm the significant potential of the deposit but also provide a rigorous technical basis for the design of the future processing plant, allowing key process parameters to be validated and the planned configuration for the different stages of ore treatment to be optimised. This information represents an essential step in reducing technical risks and defining an efficient and competitive processing strategy.”

“Having a professional with Pedro’s profile accelerates our execution curve. His operational experience at Barruecopardo is the closest comparable in the market to what we are developing in A Gudiña. Pedro completes a particularly valuable operational capability in this final phase of engineering, construction and commissioning.”

The new Project Director joins a project of significant strategic relevance such as San Juan:

“I am joining a project with strong geological fundamentals, a top-tier team and an exceptional market environment for European tungsten. The mission is clear: to bring the mine into production within the committed timeframe and to do so with the technical, environmental and safety standards that the market and society expect from European mining today,” says Pedro Jiménez de Francisco, Project Director of Tungsten San Juan, S.L.

European tungsten, a strategic raw material
Tungsten is listed by the European Union as both a critical and strategic raw material under the Critical Raw Materials Act (CRMA), due to its use in hard metals, special steels, superalloys, defence, aerospace and electronics. Global supply of the metal is highly concentrated outside the European Union, making the few European projects capable of delivering primary tungsten a first-order geostrategic asset. San Juan is positioned as one of these projects.

In line with its strategic nature, Tungsten San Juan, S.L. has applied for the project to be designated as a Strategic Project under the CRMA, a recognition that would further strengthen its role as a key element in the European critical raw materials supply chain.

The appointment of Pedro Jiménez de Francisco strengthens Eurobattery Minerals’ execution capacity and sends a clear signal to the market: Tungsten San Juan is progressing towards a clearly defined milestone — the start of commercial production in the first quarter of 2027.

“Metallurgical testwork is a critical step in transforming a mineral resource into a viable mining project,” said Roberto García Martínez, CEO of Eurobattery Minerals. “By working with SLR, a globally recognised and highly experienced technical partner, we are strengthening the technical foundation of the San Juan project and moving forward in a structured and disciplined way.”

The bulk sample, totalling approximately 1,000 kilograms of wolfram-bearing material, will be processed at SLR’s laboratories in Truro, Cornwall — a historic mining region. SLR has extensive expertise in mineral processing and metallurgical testing.

The test programme, expected to run over approximately five months — with results expected in Q3 2026 — will involve a comprehensive evaluation of the ore’s processing characteristics. This includes crushing and classification into different size fractions, followed by detailed analysis of grade distribution to determine how the wolfram mineralisation is hosted within the material.

A series of gravity-based metallurgical tests will be conducted, including cyclone classification, spiral separation and shaking table tests. These tests will generate multiple output streams — including concentrate, intermediate fractions, and tailings — enabling a detailed assessment of recovery performance across different particle sizes and processing conditions.

The results from the programme will form the basis for the final design of the process flowsheet and the future processing plant, supporting both technical optimisation and responsible resource use. This represents a key milestone in the project’s development path: the metallurgical data will feed directly into the final engineering design work being led by Minepro, enabling the Company to advance towards a detailed process design, a critical prerequisite for the construction and commissioning of the San Juan processing plant.

“Every ore body behaves differently and understanding that behaviour is essential for designing an efficient and reliable processing solution,” said Agne Ahlenius, Managing Director of Tungsten San Juan. “This work will allow us to define a process that is tailored to our specific conditions in Galicia, combining strong technical performance with a responsible approach to resource management.”

Eurobattery Minerals continues to advance the San Juan tungsten project as part of its broader strategy to contribute to Europe’s secure and responsible supply of critical raw materials, essential for the sustainability transition and for strengthening European industrial resilience. San Juan is currently under review for designation as a Strategic Project under the EU Critical Raw Materials Act (CRMA), a status that would further underline the project’s significance for European supply chain security and industrial competitiveness.

A strategic asset at a critical moment for Europe
Tungsten is classified as one of the European Union's most strategically sensitive critical raw materials, with global supply chains currently dominated by a single country. The San Juan tungsten project represents a rare, advanced European primary wolfram asset, and the Company is committed to bringing it into production as swiftly and responsibly as possible.

“This is an important step forward for our tungsten project in Galicia,” said Roberto García Martínez, CEO of Eurobattery Minerals. “Developing the processing infrastructure is essential to unlocking the value of the San Juan deposit. By working with Minepro, we are ensuring that the plant is designed specifically for the characteristics of the ore and built with a flexible architecture that supports the long-term development of the project. Responsibly produced tungsten in Europe will be increasingly important for Europe’s industrial resilience and technological competitiveness.”

A best-in-class engineering partner
Minepro brings decades of hands-on experience in mineral processing plant design and metallurgical optimisation, with a strong track record on comparable European projects. Their mandate covers the complete engineering scope of the plant — covering process, mechanical, electrical, and instrumentation & control disciplines — as well as the definition and supervision of a comprehensive metallurgical test programme to be carried out at an accredited external laboratory.

By running engineering and a metallurgical reconfirmation program simultaneously across an approximately 20-week programme, the Company is taking an accelerated path to production without compromising technical rigour or the quality of the final plant design.

Plant design and path to production
The processing plant will be designed to produce a high quality and marketable tungsten concentrate through a gravimetric concentration circuit optimised for the ore characteristics at San Juan. The plant will commence operations at an initial throughput of 10 t/h, with capacity designed to scale progressively — a capital-efficient approach well suited to the Company's development strategy.

Alongside gravimetric concentration, the test programme will evaluate additional beneficiation stages — to ensure the plant delivers a concentrate fully meeting commercial specification. Construction, installation and commissioning will be contracted separately upon completion of the engineering phase, with plant operations targeted to commence in Q1 2027.

“Building a processing plant adapted to the specific conditions of the San Juan deposit is a key milestone for the project,” said Agne Ahlenius, Managing Director of Tungsten San Juan S.L. “Our goal is to develop a modern operation that combines technical efficiency with strong environmental and safety standards. The modular design also gives us flexibility to scale production in a responsible way as the project evolves.”

As announced previously in 2025, the Company had planned to conduct metallurgical testwork and pilot plant design together with Advanced Mineral Processing S.L. (AMP). However, due to circumstances outside the Company’s control, that collaboration could not proceed as originally planned. Eurobattery Minerals has therefore decided to move forward with Minepro to continue advancing the technical development of the project.

Roberto García Martínez, CEO of Eurobattery Minerals, commented:
“Submitting these CRMA Strategic Project applications is another important step forward for Eurobattery Minerals. In today’s geopolitical environment, the metals in our projects are vital not only for the energy transition, but also for key industries including defence, aerospace and green technologies’’.

Importance of Strategic Project Status under the CRMA
Recognition of the projects as a Strategic Project under the EU CRMA would be a significant milestone for Eurobattery Minerals. Such status would support more predictable and streamlined permitting processes, reduce regulatory and financing risk, and strengthen the project’s overall development timeline. It would also enhance access to European and national financing instruments, improve long-term project bankability, and facilitate engagement with industrial partners across the European value chain. Most importantly, Strategic Project recognition would underline San Juan’s role in strengthening Europe’s secure and responsible supply of tungsten, reducing dependence on third-country sources, and supporting the EU’s strategic autonomy, industrial resilience, and defence readiness — all while meeting high European environmental, social and governance standards.

The next steps
The applications will now be reviewed by the European Commission for completeness, after which they will enter the formal assessment phase. According to the CRMA process, the assessment results for applications submitted before this cut-off are expected to be communicated approximately four months after the deadline, with the possibility of an extension in exceptional cases.

By submitting applications for two advanced projects in different EU Member States, Eurobattery Minerals reinforces its strategy of delivering responsibly mined critical raw materials from Europe, for Europe, supporting Europe’s strategic autonomy, industrial resilience, and the sustainability transition.

Eurobattery Minerals will provide further updates as the CRMA process progresses.
