Vancouver, British Columbia–(Newsfile Corp. – February 15, 2024) – european energy metals (TSXV:FIN) (FSE:W28) (“european energy metals” or “company) is pleased to report that the Nabba and Nabba 2 Exploration Licenses (EL) applied for in September and October 2023 have been granted by TUKES (Finnish Chemical Safety Authority). They are located within the Finnish Lithium Project, covering 2,780 hectares (ha) and 1,740 hectares (ha) respectively.
CEO Jeremy Poirier commented: “European Energy Metals would like to thank TUKES for expediting these license applications.” “With exploration licenses in place, this year will allow us to advance targets already generated with more advanced exploration, including diamond drilling.European Energy Metals is poised for continued success in 2024 ” he concluded.
Under the Finnish Minerals Act, licenses are granted for a period of four years, with the possibility of subsequent extensions for a total of 15 years. These licenses allow advanced exploration such as trench drilling and diamond drilling. The company is finalizing its 2024 exploration plan, which will include exploration, geological mapping, surface geophysics, trenching and diamond drilling this year.
Property highlights
Exploration in 2023 confirmed multiple occurrences of lithium-bearing spodumene pegmatite mineralization in the underlying Nava reservation. A highlight was the discovery of the Kyrola Prospect, a spodumene-bearing rock field 350 meters long and 110 meters wide, where 49 rock chip grab samples were analyzed for 3.84% lithium.2O～0.003% Li2O, 15 out of 49 samples returned grades of lithium greater than 0.50%2O (Lee2O = lithium oxide). The extent of boulder fields is limited only by areas covered by low-lying topsoil and agricultural land.The average analysis of these samples was 0.53% lithium2O. Results for 15 samples exceeded 0.50% Li2O, 1.00% or more Li was detected in 11 cases2O, 4 analyzed above 2.00% Li2O and 1 detect more than 3.00% Li2O. Rocks are generally angular and range in size from a small cobble the size of a palm to +1.5 meters in diameter. The rock also has slightly unusual contents of cesium, tantalum, beryllium, and tin.
Mineralogically, the rock consists of albite, spodumene, quartz, and muscovite pegmatites with lesser accessory minerals such as tourmaline, garnet, and beryl. They are typically large to weakly banded and appear to be mineralogically similar to known Kellibar deposits in the area, suggesting that they may be part of the same mineralization event. Masu.
Based on the known glacial history of the area and glacial dispersal of pegmatite rocks at the Kellibar deposit (Ahtola et al, 2015), the source of the rock is likely to be to the northwest of the boulder field, and possibly within its range. It is interpreted. 300m~500m. Further research is required to confirm and define drilling goals.
The Nava EL is located less than 8 km west of Kellibar’s spodumene concentrate plant, and several previously known lithium spodumene pegmatite deposits/ore deposits occur within 1 km of the Nava EL. These include the Emes deposit, where lithium-bearing spodumene pegmatites trend northwest-southeast. grading 1.08 million tonnes of resources and 1.22% lithium2O (Source: Geological Survey of Finland).
European Energy Metals cautions investors that the samples taken are selective in nature and are not necessarily indicative of Nava EL mineralization. The Company further cautions that the presence of lithium mineralization at the Kellibar Oy property does not necessarily indicate the presence of similar mineralization in the Company’s mineral reserves.

QA/QC statements
Samples were submitted to ALS Laboratories in Sodankyla, Finland. ALS inserted internal standards, blanks, and pulp replicates within each sample batch as part of its own internal monitoring of quality control protocols. European Energy Metals monitors accuracy and bias performance by inserting certified lithium standards (OREAS 750 and OREAS 753) and blanks in a 1:25 ratio into each batch submitted to ALS.
Major elemental oxides and trace elements such as Li, Cs, Ta, and Be were analyzed by ALS analysis package ME-MS89L + B-MS89L, which includes Na2O2 fusion digestion followed by ALS ultratrace ICP-MS technique . QAQC results to date show no analytical accuracy issues with all standards returning Li values within 3 standard deviations of the certified mean and blanks returning expected values.

About European Energy Metals Corp.
European Energy Metals Corp. is a junior mining company currently focused on the Lithium-Cesium-Tantalum Finnish Pegmatite Project in central Finland. Governing bodies in Europe and Finland are enacting green and energy-independent laws and policies. One of the key factors is access to REEs, especially lithium. The company’s concession is located within 15 km of the Kellibar mine and production complex, which is currently under construction and is expected to start production in the second half of 2025.
Investments estimated at €600 million are underway in the Kautinen area, with Keliber’s parent company Sibanye-Stillwater Limited partnering with Finnish Minerals Group (www.mineralsgroup.fi) to develop open-pit and underground mining from several deposits. is scheduled to be held. Construction of a central spodumene enrichment plant and lithium hydroxide chemical plant in Tidewater, Kokkola. Once completed, this complex will constitute a complete hardstone diorite pegmatite lithium supply chain (Source: www.sibanyestilwater.com).
Pursuant to a benefit agreement with Capella Minerals Ltd (TSXV: CMIL), European Energy Metals has acquired an 80% interest in a Finnish lithium project by issuing 2,000,000 shares, paying C$500,000 and incurring C$2,500,000 in exploration costs. have the right to obtain. It will be staged and profitable over a period of 4 years. A detailed evaluation of historical and government exploration data compiled by the Geological Survey of Finland (GTK) has identified a series of permissive areas for the LCT pegmatite. The concessions that make up the Finnish lithium project were identified as a result of this pegmatite study.
