Stockholm, 16 May 2024 \u2013 The mining company Eurobattery Minerals AB (Nordic Growth Market: \u201cBAT\u201d and B\u00f6rse Stuttgart: \u201cEBM\u201d; in short: \u201cEurobattery Minerals\u201d or the \u201cCompany\u201d) today published its 2023 annual report.<\/strong><\/p>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n

The auditor\u2019s report, which is attached to the annual report for 2023, deviates from what is common as a remark is stated by the auditor relating to a significant uncertainty regarding the going concern, as presented below.<\/p>\n

Significant uncertainty regarding the going concern assumption<\/strong>
Without prejudice to my opinion above, I would like to draw attention to the statement in the Directors’ Report that the company is dependent on further capital injections in 2024 to ensure its continued operation. The board is negotiating with external stakeholders for a long-term solution to strengthen the company’s liquidity and equity. It is the board’s assessment that there are good opportunities for continued financing. The above indicates that there is a material uncertainty, which may cast significant doubt on the company’s ability to continue as a going concern.<\/p>\n

Eurobattery Minerals comment to the Auditor\u00b4s Report<\/strong>
The comment from the auditor is based on the fact that Eurobattery Minerals is a growth company and is financed through external capital. During 2024, the operations are being financed by using the warrant series TO4 and TO5. In April 2024, the Company announced that the Environmental Permit Application for the Finnish battery mineral project Hautalampi has been submitted to the authorities, which is an important milestone and a big step towards being able to start our mining operations in Finland. In light of the above and negotiations with potential off-takers and external partners \u2013 and taking into account the positive results from the project in Finland \u2013 the Board of Directors believes that the prospects are very good to continue to develop the business.<\/p>\n

\u201cIn geopolitical terms, 2023 was a complicated year, but at Eurobattery Minerals we have continued to work hard, especially with the Environmental Permit Application for the Hautalampi battery mineral project. When I\u00b4m writing this we are closer to the start of mining operations and therefore I would like to thank all the shareholders for their continued support!\u201d,<\/em> says Roberto Garc\u00eda Mart\u00ednez, CEO of Eurobattery Minerals. <\/p>\n
