"After thorough research, we agreed to move forward with Resourceful Geoscience Solutions based on their track record and in-country on the ground experience," stated European Energy Metals CEO Jeremy Poirier. "European Energy's phase one exploration programs will focus on evaluating over 2,300 square kilometres of prospective concessions with the focus of identifying high priority targets for phase 2 drilling targeted for late 2023 as we continue to work toward developing our Finland Pegmatite Project portfolio into one of Europe's major sources of lithium and REEs, critical metals to the green future," he continued.
Resourceful Geoscience Solutions Inc. is a boutique geological and mineral exploration consultancy headquartered in Halifax, NS, Canada. Their team has expertise across a range of commodities, deposit types, project scales, and operational jurisdictions on three continents; including previous on the ground experience in the country of Finland. Resourceful Geoscience Solutions drives strategic exploration through a commitment to geoscientific first principles.
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. 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 W, Lappajarvi E 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% Li2O.1
European Energy cautions investors the presence of lithium mineralization at Keliber Oy is not necessarily indicative of similar mineralization at the Nabba concession.
Under the terms of an Earn In Agreement with Capella Minerals Limited (TSXV: CMIL), European Energy may earn an 80% interest in the Finland 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.
