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 legislating environmentally friendly and energy-independent laws and policies. One of the key components is access to REE (rare earth elements) and, specifically, lithium. The Company’s concessions are located within 15 kilometres of the Keliber mine and production complex, currently under construction and expected to begin production in the second half of 2025. The Company cautions the presence of lithium mineralization on Keliber’s properties is not necessarily indicative of similar mineralization on the Company’s mineral reservations.
An estimated 600-million-euro investment by Keliber’s parent company, Sibanye-Stillwater Ltd., in partnership with the Finnish Minerals Group, is under way in the Kautinen region, and will see the development of open-pit and underground mining from several deposits, construction of a central spodumene concentrator plant, and a lithium hydroxide chemical plant at tidewater in Kokkola. When completed, this complex will comprise a complete hard-rock spodumene pegmatite lithium supply chain.
Neither the TSX Venture Exchange nor its Regulation Services Provider (as that term is defined in the policies of the TSX Venture Exchange) accepts responsibility for the adequacy or accuracy of this release.
