FINAL ASSAYS CONFIRM HIGH NICKEL SULPHIDE DISCOVERY AT CORCEL PROJECT
Eurobattery Minerals AB (Nordic Growth Market: "BAT"; “the Company”) a growth company in the mining and exploration industry with the vision to help Europe become self-sufficient in ethical battery minerals, today announces the final results for sulphide mineral tests at the nickel, cobalt, copper Castriz prospect in Galicia, northwest Spain. In the larger Corcel project, Castriz is one of three primary prospects together with Monte Mayor and Monte Castello.
Key points:
Next steps
Samples are currently being analysed at SGS’s Canadian facilities for more detailed mineralogy studies and QEMSCAN analysis to determine sulphide species and mineral liberation characteristics. The results of these studies will be used in assessing the economics of potential development scenarios at Castriz.

- Final assay results received from nickel sulphide (Ni•S) assays on mineralised samples from recent drilling at the Castriz prospect in northwest Spain confirm significant nickel sulphide discovery at Castriz.
- Analytical methods that detect nickel sourced from sulphide minerals has shown that 75% to 85% of the total nickel from the main mineralised intervals previously reported is from sulphide minerals.

Assay highlights include:
- 21m @ 0.26% Ni•S from 78m and 12m @ 0.41% Ni•S from 129m, including 3m @ 0.64% Ni•S from 132m (19DD0001)
- 24.5m @ 0.26% Ni•S from 14.5m, including 12.5m @ 0.31% Ni•S from 14.5m (19DD0002)
- 24.35m @ 0.31% Ni•S from 182.5m, including 9.0m @ 0.40% Ni•S from 191.5m (19DD0003)
- Nickel grades considered to be of economic grade with 0.15% Ni a common cut-off grade for open pit resources.
- Prospective area confirmed for over 700m in strike length and approximately 700m in width with mineralisation commencing at surface to vertical depth of 200m. This makes Castriz potentially amenable to low-cost, open pit bulk mining.
- Samples submitted for more detailed mineralogy studies and QEMSCAN analysis to determine sulphide species and mineral liberation characteristics.
