Europe's Largest Hard-Rock Lithium Resource Developer Commences Trading on NASDAQ International

European Metals accepted to trade on the globally renowned US based NASDAQ International OTC program

Company will commence trading on NASDAQ International under the code ERPNF on 15 December 2020.

Trading will accelerate exposure to major US investors

NASDAQ International adds to the Company's suite of active listings across the ASX,AIM and European exchanges

The Company is developing the Cinovec project,the largest hard rock lithium resource in Europe and is strategically located in close proximity to end user car makers and companies involved in energy storage

WEST PERTH,Australia,Dec. 15,2020 -- European Metals Holdings Limited (ASX & AIM: EMH) ("European Metals" or the "Company") is pleased to announce the commencement of trading on the NASDAQ International Program which is run by the Nasdaq International Securities Exchange (ISE) on 15 December 2020,following dramatically increased US-based interest in its Cinovec project,the largest hard rock lithium resource in Europe.

The NASDAQ ISE was launched in 2000 as the first all-electronic exchange in the United States and is a major destination for investment. The acceptance to the NASDAQ International Program will accelerate the Company's exposure to US shareholders,following its recent commencement of trading on the OTC Pink market.

Nasdaq International Designation program is designed for non-U.S.-based companies that have Level 1 American Depository Receipts or Canadian and Australian companies that have shares that trade on the over-the-counter (OTC) market.

The Company can now leverage significantly heightened visibility in the U.S. investment community and greater resources for investor relations support.

NASDAQ International increases the visibility of all member companies (which includes other ASX companies such as Qantas and Macquarie Group) and EMH anticipates that the membership will help EMH grow its global brand,increase liquidity and shape its message to the US investment community.

The ASX will continue to be the Company's primary listing,with investors also able to purchase shares through OTC:NASDAQ International,UK-based AIM market and Germany's Frankfurt Börse.

As announced in July,the Company is in discussions with the Czech Republic's primary market,the Prague Stock Exchange (PSE),with regards to a listing of the

Company's securities. These discussions continue and the Company hopes to be able to update shareholders in the very near future. A PSE listing would further leverage substantial national interest in the Cinovec project,located 100 km north-west of Prague on the Czech Republic border with Germany.

Commenting on the NASDAQ listing,European Metals Executive Chairman Keith Coughlan said:

"Following exceptional exposure for the Company on the OTC Pink market,we have revised our previous strategy and refocused on the NASDAQ International.

"It is incredibly pleasing to see such a positive response from international investors and I am excited to see our Company trade on a NASDAQ market,which is globally renowned as a destination for investment.

"The increasing international exposure of the company is very pleasing and the US market in particular has demonstrated a keen awareness of the Cinovec project. Cinovec is a near-term development asset with the largest hard rock lithium resource in Europe that is also proximate to a number of battery manufacturers and end-users such as automobile companies."

NASDAQ International offers a cost-effective method to access US investment,as well as providing a nexus to the largest capital markets globally.

NASDAQ International member companies are not required to report to the Securities and Exchange Commission,and can avoid costly compliance processes by submitting their home country disclosure in English.

European Metals confirms the listing is non-dilutive,as no additional capital is required to be raised and no new shares will be issued on the NASDAQ ISE.

This announcement is approved by the Board.

BACKGROUND INFORMATION ON CINOVEC

PROJECT OVERVIEW

Cinovec Lithium/Tin Project

Geomet s.r.o. controls the mineral exploration licenses awarded by the Czech State over the Cinovec Lithium/Tin Project. Geomet s.r.o. is owned 49% by European Metals and 51% by CEZ a.s. through its wholly owned subsidiary,SDAS. Cinovec hosts a globally significant hard rock lithium deposit with a total Indicated Mineral Resource of 372.4Mt at 0.45% Li2O and 0.04% Sn and an Inferred Mineral Resource of 323.5Mt at 0.39% Li2O and 0.04% Sn containing a combined 7.22 million tonnes Lithium Carbonate Equivalent and 263kt of tin reported 28 November 2017 (Further Increase in Indicated Resource at Cinovec South). An initial Probable Ore Reserve of 34.5Mt at 0.65% Li2O and 0.09% Sn reported 4 July 2017 (Cinovec Maiden Ore Reserve – Further Information) has been declared to cover the first 20 years mining at an output of 22,500tpa of lithium carbonate reported 11 July 2018 (Cinovec Production Modelled to Increase to 22,500tpa of Lithium Carbonate).

This makes Cinovec the largest hard rock lithium deposit in Europe,the fourth largest non-brine deposit in the world and a globally significant tin resource.

The deposit has previously had over 400,000 tonnes of ore mined as a trial sub-level open stope underground mining operation.

In June 2019 EMH completed an updated Preliminary Feasibility Study,conducted by specialist independent consultants,which indicated a return post tax NPV of USD1.108B and an IRR of 28.8% and confirmed that the Cinovec Project is a potential low operating cost,producer of battery grade lithium hydroxide or battery grade lithium carbonate as markets demand. It confirmed the deposit is amenable to bulk underground mining. Metallurgical test-work has produced both battery grade lithium hydroxide and battery grade lithium carbonate in addition to high-grade tin concentrate at excellent recoveries. Cinovec is centrally located for European end-users and is well serviced by infrastructure,with a sealed road adjacent to the deposit,rail lines located 5 km north and 8 km south of the deposit and an active 22 kV transmission line running to the historic mine. As the deposit lies in an active mining region,it has strong community support.

The economic viability of Cinovec has been enhanced by the recent strong increase in demand for lithium globally,and within Europe specifically.

There are no other material changes to the original information and all the material assumptions continue to apply to the forecasts.

LITHIUM CLASSIFICATION AND CONVERSION FACTORS

Lithium grades are normally presented in percentages or parts per million (ppm). Grades of deposits are also expressed as lithium compounds in percentages,for example as a percent lithium oxide (Li2O) content or percent lithium carbonate (Li2CO3) content.

Lithium carbonate equivalent ("LCE") is the industry standard terminology for,and is equivalent to,Li2CO3. Use of LCE is to provide data comparable with industry reports and is the total equivalent amount of lithium carbonate,assuming the lithium content in the deposit is converted to lithium carbonate,using the conversion rates in the table included below to get an equivalent Li2CO3value in percent. Use of LCE assumes 100% recovery and no process losses in the extraction of Li2CO3 from the deposit.

Lithium resources and reserves are usually presented in tonnes of LCE or Li.

The standard conversion factors are set out in the table below:
