Euro Manganese Joins the Global Battery Alliance
VANCOUVER, British Columbia ( July 19, 2022) – Euro Manganese Inc. (TSX -V and ASX: EMN; OTCQX:
EUMNF; Frankfurt: E06) ("Euro Manganese", the "Company" or "EMN") is pleased to announce that it has
become a member of the Global Battery Alliance ( "GBA"), a partnership of leading organizations from
across the battery value chain , governments, academics, and NGOs who have mobilized to ensure that
battery production n ot only supports green energy, but also safeguards human rights and promotes
environmental sustainability.
Euro Manganese is the first high -purity manganese company to join the GBA. The Compan y intends to
participate in discussions around battery materials transparency and traceability, particularly as the GBA
advances development of the Battery Passport. The Battery Passport will be a digital representation of an
electric vehicle ( "EV") battery . Batteries that meet strict quality and sustainability standards will be
awarded a quality seal, providing customers with assurance of responsible manufacturing processes.
Dr. Matthew James, Euro Manganese’s President and CEO, said: “We are very pleased to join the GBA to
work alongside peers in assisting with the transition to a sustainable, low carbon economy. We share the
GBA’s goals of circularity, environmental protection, and sustainable development. The Battery Passport
will be a valuable resource to measure EV battery quality and improve overall industry sustainability
performance.
“Responsibly extracted and produced battery materials are the foundation of the battery value chain. Our
Chvaletice Project in the Czech Republic is the only sizable manganese resource in Europe and will produce
fully-traceable high-purity manganese products for the EV industry in a n environmentally responsible
manner. As a unique, waste-to-value recycling and remediation opportunity that involves reprocessing
old tailings from a decommissioned mine , our project’s environmental credentials include a low carbon
footprint and a net positive benefit from remediation of the historic tai lings area. The Company has
recently undertaken a Life Cycle Assessment to quantify t he Chvaletice Project’s environmental impact,
the results of which we intend to announce soon.”

international organizations, NGOs, industry actors, academics, and multiple governments to align
collectively to drive systemic change along the entire value chain.
Members commit to a set of Ten Guiding Principles established as a necessary condition for a sustainable
and responsible battery value chain, with a focus on:

• Establishing a low -carbon economy in the value chain, creat ing jobs and additional economic
value; and
• Safeguarding human rights and economic development consistent with the UN Sustainable
Development Goals.

About the Battery Passport
The Battery Passport will be a digital representation of an electric vehicle ( "EV") battery that conveys
information about applicable Environmental, Social and Governance ( "ESG”) metrics across its lifecycle,
from the raw materials of its components through to its production, installation, utilization, and eventual
recycling. Each Battery Passport will be a digital twin of its physical battery with its own unique ID number
and barcode that then gets uploaded to a cloud-based Battery Passport platform, which will offer a global
solution for securely sharing information and data. Batteries that meet strict quali ty and sustainability
standards, which are currently under development, will be awarded a quality seal , providing customers
with assurance of battery quality and responsible manufacturing processes. Learn more about the Battery
Passport on the GBA website.
