Video: Market update – October 2024
The CEO of Eurobattery Minerals, Roberto García Martínez, was interviewed and presented a market update in a video published on 30 October 2024. In the video, which is directed to shareholders, potential investors and other stakeholders, a summary was presented regarding the work carried out in the Finnish battery mineral project Hautalampi during 2024, the Spanish Castriz project in Corcel and the planned development for the near future. The video is available on Eurobattery Minerals´ YouTube channel, https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=r-PVL8VBjyI, and issue website, https://investors.eurobatteryminerals.com/en/rights-issue-2024-2/.
“We have been very active since 2020, when we acquired the Hautalampi battery mineral project, and we just finalised the full acquisition a couple of months ago. We have achieved many milestones over the last years, including applying for the environmental permit which we submitted to the authorities a couple of months ago. Additionally, we have been working closely with the Finnish authorities to monitor our environmental processes. In August, we applied to categorise the project as a European Strategic Project under the new Critical Raw Materials Act. And just a few weeks ago, we closed on a non-binding agreement with Boliden, a large mining group, which poised to buy the entire copper concentrate production from Hautalampi. All these achievements probably make this project one of the most important projects in the Scandinavian countries in decades,” commented the CEO about the Hautalampi project.
