European Energy Metals Commences Finnish Pegmatite Project Phase I Exploration
European Energy Metals Commences Finnish
Pegmatite Project Phase I Exploration
Vancouver, British Columbia--(Newsfile Corp. - July 13, 2023) - European Energy Metals (TSXV: FIN)
(FSE: W28) ("
European Energy
" or the "
Company
") is pleased to announce commencement of the
2023 Phase I Exploration Program at its Lithium-Cesium-Tantalum ("
LCT
") and Rare Earth Element
("
REE
") Finnish Pegmatite Project, consisting of five exploration concessions covering 2,300 square
kilometers in central and southern Finland.
Phase I will consist of mapping and sampling of the documented pegmatite occurrences throughout the
Finnish Pegmatite Project. Prospecting for new occurrences will also form part of the program.
Resourceful Geoscience Solutions Inc., a Canadian consulting firm with in-country experience, will
undertake the program, with assistance from Finnish company GeoPool OY.
"We are very pleased to commence 2023 exploration, with Phase I focussed on evaluating Finnish
Pegmatite Project
to highlight high priority areas for subsequent permitting for Phase II drilling," stated
European Energy Metals CEO Jeremy Poirier. "European Energy's objective remains H1 2024 drilling
as we continue to work toward developing the Finland Pegmatite Project portfolio into one of Europe's
major sources of lithium and REE's, critical metals to the green future," he continued.
The exploration crews plan to work north to south commencing with the Nabbia concession, through
Lappajarvi East and West, to Katalia and finally wrapping up at the Kovelo concession. Samples will be
sent to the ALS Minerals geochemical prep lab in Sodankylä, Finland. The samples will be analyzed with
procedure ME-MS89L, utilizing a sodium peroxide fusion and ALS's Super Trace ICP-MS methodology.
Pursuant to an earn-in agreement with Capella Minerals Ltd., European Energy has the right to earn an
80% interest in the Finnish Pegmatite Project by issuing 1,750,000 shares, paying Cdn$500,000 and
incurring Cdn$2,500,000 dollars in exploration expenditures staged over a 4 year earn in period. A
detailed assessment of the historic and government exploration data compiled by the Finnish Geological
Survey ("
GTK
") identified a series of permissive tracts for LCT pegmatites. The concessions
comprising the Finnish Pegmatite Project were identified as a result of this pegmatite research.
About the Finland Pegmatite Project
The Finland Pegmatite Project consists of four exploration concessions in central Finland and one
exploration concession in southern Finland. These reservations cover a total area of 2,300 square
kilometres and are focused on Lithium-Cesium-Tantalum or LCT pegmatite complexes located within
the Jarvi-Pohjanmaa and Seinajoki lithium-permissive tracts as defined by the Geological Survey of
Finland (GTK). Four of the reservations (Nabba, Lappajarvi West, Lappajarvi East and Kaatiala) lie
immediately adjacent to, and to the south of, Keliber Oy's spodumene mine development project in the
Kaustinen district.
Keliber Oy is a consortium, comprised of Sibanye-Stillwater (79%), Finnish Minerals Group (20%) and
Finnish shareholders (1%). A Definitive Feasibility Study by Hatch dated June 14, 2018 states a JORC
Code 2012 compliant Measured and Indicated Mineral Resource of 9.47 million tonnes at a grade of
1.16% Li

European Energy cautions investors the presence of lithium mineralization at Keliber Oy is not
necessarily indicative of similar mineralization at the Nabba concession.
