  • Several zones with coincident magnetic and Ni-Cu geochemical anomalies delineated. The Company was highly encouraged about the prospectivity at Castriz and decided the prospect warranted drill testing.
  • Diamond drilling commenced at Castriz on 17 September. Up to four diamond drill holes have been planned for approximately 1,000 metres of drilling. Geological logging and sampling of the drill holes has commenced.

Significant events after the period

In total, Eurobattery Minerals have 7 explorations permits in the northern parts of Sweden and all have recently been further investigated by geologists. In the field work, new samples have been taken for petrographic and chemical analysis and previously found and analyzed bouldes and outcrops have been investigated further.

Summary of CEO comments:

  • During the quarter, the Company completed preliminary ground-based exploration activities at the Castriz (“Castriz”) prospect.
  • The Company’s own exploration activities not only confirmed the historical work but defined additional high-quality prospects. This encouraged BAT to move straight into drill testing the highest-ranking targets.
  • Drilling has intersected the targeted rock sequences and the Company is encouraged by initial observations, which includes the presence of sulphide minerals.
  • The Company is well-funded to complete its maiden exploration programme at Castriz. BAT also plans to determine what preliminary metallurgical tests are required to assess potential development scenarios at Castriz.
