NEWS RELEASE
European Electric Strengthens Advisory Board as it Plans to Assess Processing Options for Skroska
European Electric Metals Inc. (TSXV-EVX) (“EVX” or “the Company”) is pleased to announce that it
has appointed Dr. David Dreisinger to its Advisory Board. Dr. Dreisinger is a full professor and chairholder
of the Hydrometallurgy Chair at the University of British Columbia in Vancouver. He has been extensively
involved as a process consultant in industrial research programs with metallurgical companies. He has
participated in 21 U.S. patents for work in the areas of pressure leaching, ion exchange, removal of
impurities from process solutions, thiosulfate leaching, and leach-electrolysis treatment of copper recovery
from sulfide ores. Among metallurgical processes he co-invented are the Sepon Copper process (Laos), the
Mt Gordon Copper process (Australia), and the PLATSOL process (to be used in the US). He has published
over 300 technical papers in journals and conference proceedings. Dr. Dreisinger serves on the board of a
number of TSX listed companies including PolyMet Mining, Search Minerals, Euro Manganese and
LeadFX.
Dr. Dreisinger’s appointment is timely as EVX moves to advance the Skroska Co-Ni project. Recent
sampling of Skroska by the Company confirmed the presence of elevated cobalt of up to 0.48% in several
blocks it sampled (see full results in the Company’s news release at
http://www.europeanelectricmetals.com/news/display/index.php?content_id=99 ). EVX plans to conduct
metallurgrical test works in the next few months to test the amenability of the Skroska mineralization to high
pressure acid leach (HPAL) technology to recover both cobalt and nickel. The recovery of cobalt in addition
to historical recovery of nickel in the processing of Skroska laterite mineralization can potentially enhance
the viability of the project.
EVX Chief Executive Officer Fred Tejada states, “After having received and reported the assay results from
our recent 174 sample program underground at Skroska, we are excited to now move forward to understand
the metallurgical and mineral processing characteristics of the mineralization. While Skroska is a
historically producing nickel laterite mine, the elevated cobalt levels identified by EVX present a new
opportunity to unlock the value of the asset, potentially via direct shipping of mined material to a leaching
facility. The addition of Dr. Dreisinger, an expert in this field, to our Advisory Board will be invaluable as
we take these next important steps.”
