Half Year Results 2025

Capita PLC

Capita plcs half-year results for 2025 show solid progress against strategic objectives, with a focus on transformation and innovation. Key highlights include
**Financial Performance**Adjusted revenue decreased by 4% to £1,154.8 million, primarily due to contract losses and subdued volumes in the Telecommunications vertical. Adjusted operating profit declined by 22% to £42.6 million, reflecting revenue reductions and reinvestment in the business.
**Contract Wins**Total contract value (TCV) won increased by 17% to £1,044.4 million, driven by strong performance in Capita Public Service. The company has a pipeline of £4.4 billion in higher technology opportunities.
**Cost Savings**Capita is on track to deliver £250 million in cost savings by December 2025, with £205 million already actioned as of July 2025.
**AI and Technology**The company launched the Capita AI Catalyst Lab to drive efficiencies and improve customer solutions. It also introduced Agents with Agentforce AI, powered by Salesforce, for volume recruitment.
**Employee Engagement**There was a 10-point improvement in the Group employee net promoter score, indicating enhanced employee satisfaction.
**Divisional Performance**Capita Public Service saw a 4% revenue growth, while Contact Centre experienced a 20% decline. Pension Solutions and Regulated Services had minor revenue changes.
**Outlook**Capita expects adjusted revenue to be broadly flat for the full year 2025, with a modest improvement in Group margin and positive free cash flow from the end of 2025.
Overall, Capita is making strategic progress, focusing on technology, cost discipline, and employee engagement, despite some financial challenges in specific divisions. The company remains confident in its full-year outlook and medium-term targets.

**Key Observations:** * **Revenue Decline:** Capita experienced a 6% decline in reported revenue and a 4% decline in adjusted revenue year-on-year. This is primarily attributed to contract losses, volume reductions in the Telecommunications vertical, and the impact of offshoring in the Contact Centre business. * **Profitability Pressure:** Operating profit saw a significant drop of 79%, while adjusted operating profit decreased by 22%. This reflects the revenue decline, reinvestment in the business, and increased costs related to pay awards and National Insurance. * **Improved Cash Flow:** Despite the profitability challenges, operating cash flow increased by 10%, and free cash flow improved by 50% (excluding business exits). This is due to improved operating cash flow, reduced capital expenditure, and lease payments. * **Reduced Debt:** Net debt and net financial debt (pre-IFRS 16) both decreased significantly, indicating a focus on debt reduction. **Overall:** Capita's H1 2025 results show a mixed picture. While revenue and profitability faced headwinds, the company made progress in improving cash flow and reducing debt. The focus on cost reduction and strategic initiatives like AI integration suggests a continued effort to enhance operational efficiency and drive future growth.

Proposed Tender Offer, Delisting & Notice of GM

Dewhurst

**Summary**
Dewhurst Group PLC, a global manufacturer and supplier of components to the lift, transport, and keypad industries, has announced a proposed tender offer, delisting from AIM, and re-registration as a private limited company. The company plans to return up to £25.0 million to qualifying shareholders through a tender offer, offering premiums of 23% for A Shares and 14% for Ordinary Shares. This will be funded by existing cash resources and a new £20.0 million debt facility from HSBC. The tender offer is inter-conditional with the delisting and re-registration, requiring approval at a General Meeting on August 21, 2025.
The delisting is motivated by the companys belief that maintaining a public listing is no longer in its best interest due to changing market conditions, limited liquidity, and high costs. Following delisting, the company will establish a Secondary Market Trading Facility to provide shareholders with a means to trade shares, though liquidity is not guaranteed.

YouGov plc

**Summary**
YouGov PLC, a global research and data analytics group, released its full-year trading update for FY25 (ending July 31, 2025).

The Group is on track to realize £20 million in annualized cost savings, with 70% already achieved in FY25.

Proposed Tender Offer, Delisting & Notice of GM

Dewhurst

**Summary**
Dewhurst Group PLC, a global manufacturer and supplier of components to the lift, transport, and keypad industries, has announced a proposed tender offer, delisting from AIM, and re-registration as a private limited company. The company plans to return up to £25.0 million to qualifying shareholders through a tender offer, offering premiums of 23% for A Shares and 14% for Ordinary Shares. This will be funded by existing cash resources and a new £20.0 million debt facility from HSBC. The tender offer is inter-conditional with the delisting and re-registration, requiring approval at a General Meeting on August 21, 2025.
The delisting is motivated by the companys belief that maintaining a public listing is no longer in its best interest due to changing market conditions, limited liquidity, and high costs. Following delisting, the company will establish a Secondary Market Trading Facility to provide shareholders with a means to trade shares, though liquidity is not guaranteed. The re-registration as a private company is expected to reduce overhead costs and provide more flexibility.
The tender offer, delisting, and re-registration are subject to shareholder approval, with the board recommending shareholders vote in favor of the resolutions. The company has received irrevocable undertakings from major shareholders, representing 74.2% of voting rights, to support the proposals. If approved, the delisting will take effect on September 11, 2025, and re-registration is expected by September 26, 2025. Shareholders are advised to consider the implications carefully and seek independent advice if necessary.

**Key Observations:** * **Revenue Decline:** Capita experienced a 6% decline in reported revenue and a 4% decline in adjusted revenue year-on-year. This is primarily attributed to contract losses, volume reductions in the Telecommunications vertical, and the impact of offshoring in the Contact Centre business. * **Profitability Pressure:** Operating profit saw a significant drop of 79%, while adjusted operating profit decreased by 22%. This reflects the revenue decline, reinvestment in the business, and increased costs related to pay awards and National Insurance. * **Improved Cash Flow:** Despite the profitability challenges, operating cash flow increased by 10%, and free cash flow improved by 50% (excluding business exits). This is due to improved operating cash flow, reduced capital expenditure, and lease payments. * **Reduced Debt:** Net debt and net financial debt (pre-IFRS 16) both decreased significantly, indicating a focus on debt reduction. **Overall:** Capita's H1 2025 results show a mixed picture. While revenue and profitability faced headwinds, the company made progress in improving cash flow and reducing debt. The focus on cost reduction and strategic initiatives like AI integration suggests a continued effort to enhance operational efficiency and drive future growth.

Full-Year Trading Update

YouGov plc

**Summary**
YouGov PLC, a global research and data analytics group, released its full-year trading update for FY25 (ending July 31, 2025). The company expects performance to align with expectations, driven by strong reported revenue and adjusted operating profit, primarily due to the full-year impact of the CPS acquisition. On an underlying basis, modest revenue growth was achieved, supported by a return to growth in the Data Products division, which saw low-single-digit growth due to stable renewal rates and new client wins. The Research division experienced modest growth, while YouGov Shopper (formerly CPS) performed slightly ahead of expectations, with ongoing investment in growth initiatives.
The Group is on track to realize £20 million in annualized cost savings, with 70% already achieved in FY25. Looking ahead, YouGov remains cautious about volatile market conditions and client budget pressures, emphasizing the need for high-quality data products and innovation to drive medium-term growth. The company highlighted its global reach, unique panel of millions of members, and reputation as a trusted source of real-time insights, powered by advanced technology platforms.

**Key Observations:** * **Revenue Decline:** Capita experienced a 6% decline in reported revenue and a 4% decline in adjusted revenue year-on-year. This is primarily attributed to contract losses, volume reductions in the Telecommunications vertical, and the impact of offshoring in the Contact Centre business. * **Profitability Pressure:** Operating profit saw a significant drop of 79%, while adjusted operating profit decreased by 22%. This reflects the revenue decline, reinvestment in the business, and increased costs related to pay awards and National Insurance. * **Improved Cash Flow:** Despite the profitability challenges, operating cash flow increased by 10%, and free cash flow improved by 50% (excluding business exits). This is due to improved operating cash flow, reduced capital expenditure, and lease payments. * **Reduced Debt:** Net debt and net financial debt (pre-IFRS 16) both decreased significantly, indicating a focus on debt reduction. **Overall:** Capita's H1 2025 results show a mixed picture. While revenue and profitability faced headwinds, the company made progress in improving cash flow and reducing debt. The focus on cost reduction and strategic initiatives like AI integration suggests a continued effort to enhance operational efficiency and drive future growth.

Proposed Tender Offer, Delisting & Notice of GM
**Summary:** Dewhurst Group PLC, a global manufacturer and supplier of components to the lift, transport, and keypad industries, has announced a proposed tender offer, delisting from AIM, and re-registration as a private limited company. The company plans to return up to £25.0 million to qualifying shareholders through a tender offer, offering premiums of 23% for A Shares and 14% for Ordinary Shares. This will be funded by existing cash resources and a new £20.0 million debt facility from HSBC. The tender offer is inter-conditional with the delisting and re-registration, requiring approval at a General Meeting on August 21, 2025. The delisting is motivated by the companys belief that maintaining a public listing is no longer in its best interest due to changing market conditions, limited liquidity, and high costs. Following delisting, the company will establish a Secondary Market Trading Facility to provide shareholders with a means to trade shares, though liquidity is not guaranteed. The re-registration as a private company is expected to reduce overhead costs and provide more flexibility. The tender offer, delisting, and re-registration are subject to shareholder approval, with the board recommending shareholders vote in favor of the resolutions. The company has received irrevocable undertakings from major shareholders, representing 74.2% of voting rights, to support the proposals. If approved, the delisting will take effect on September 11, 2025, and re-registration is expected by September 26, 2025. Shareholders are advised to consider the implications carefully and seek independent advice if necessary.

Preliminary Mining Permit granted - Cinovec South
**Summary:** European Metals Holdings Limited (EMH) announced that its subsidiary, Geomet, has been granted an updated **Preliminary Mining Permit** by the Czech Ministry of the Environment for the **Cinovec South** lithium deposit. This permit, valid until 2033, covers 1.4807 km² and is a critical step toward obtaining a **Final Mining Permit**. Combined with existing permits for Cinovec Northwest and Cinovec-East, it encompasses the entire Cinovec ore reserve, Europes largest hard rock lithium deposit and the worlds fifth-largest non-brine deposit. EMH plans to consolidate all three permits into one to streamline the process for a single Final Mining Permit. The Cinovec project, designated as a **Strategic Project** by the EU and the Czech Government, is well-positioned to benefit from the growing demand for lithium, particularly in Europe, driven by the EUs Critical Raw Materials Act. The project is jointly owned by EMH (49%) and CEZ a.s. (51%), a leading Czech energy company. Cinovec has a measured and indicated resource of 413.5 million tonnes at 0.45% Li2O, with an initial probable ore reserve of 34.5 million tonnes at 0.65% Li2O, supporting 20 years of mining at 22,500 tpa of lithium carbonate. EMH is progressing toward completing a **Definitive Feasibility Study (DFS)**, with metallurgical <mark style="background-color:yellow">test</mark>work successfully producing battery-grade lithium hydroxide and carbonate. The project is strategically located with strong infrastructure support, including road, rail, and power access. Keith Coughlan, Executive Chairman, highlighted the permit as a critical milestone, aligning with favorable market conditions and regional support for the projects success. **Key Points:** - Preliminary Mining Permit granted for Cinovec South, valid until 2033. - Permit consolidation planned to streamline Final Mining Permit process. - Cinovec is Europes largest hard rock lithium deposit, designated as a Strategic Project by the EU and Czech Government. - Project benefits from strong lithium demand and EU Critical Raw Materials Act. - EMH progressing toward DFS completion, with positive metallurgical results. - Strategic location with robust infrastructure support.

Capita plcs half-year results for 2025 show solid progress against strategic objectives, with a focus on transformation and innovation. Key highlights include
**Financial Performance**Adjusted revenue decreased by 4% to £1,154.8 million, primarily due to contract losses and subdued volumes in the Telecommunications vertical. Adjusted operating profit declined by 22% to £42.6 million, reflecting revenue reductions and reinvestment in the business.
**Contract Wins**Total contract value (TCV) won increased by 17% to £1,044.4 million, driven by strong performance in Capita Public Service. The company has a pipeline of £4.4 billion in higher technology opportunities.
**Cost Savings**Capita is on track to deliver £250 million in cost savings by December 2025, with £205 million already actioned as of July 2025.
**AI and Technology**The company launched the Capita AI Catalyst Lab to drive efficiencies and improve customer solutions. It also introduced Agents with Agentforce AI, powered by Salesforce, for volume recruitment.
**Employee Engagement**There was a 10-point improvement in the Group employee net promoter score, indicating enhanced employee satisfaction.
**Divisional Performance**Capita Public Service saw a 4% revenue growth, while Contact Centre experienced a 20% decline. Pension Solutions and Regulated Services had minor revenue changes.
**Outlook**Capita expects adjusted revenue to be broadly flat for the full year 2025, with a modest improvement in Group margin and positive free cash flow from the end of 2025.
Overall, Capita is making strategic progress, focusing on technology, cost discipline, and employee engagement, despite some financial challenges in specific divisions. The company remains confident in its full-year outlook and medium-term targets.

Net Financial Debt (pre-IFRS 16)£(87.0)m£(166.4)m48%
**Key Observations:** * **Revenue Decline:** Capita experienced a 6% decline in reported revenue and a 4% decline in adjusted revenue year-on-year. This is primarily attributed to contract losses, volume reductions in the Telecommunications vertical, and the impact of offshoring in the Contact Centre business. * **Profitability Pressure:** Operating profit saw a significant drop of 79%, while adjusted operating profit decreased by 22%. This reflects the revenue decline, reinvestment in the business, and increased costs related to pay awards and National Insurance. * **Improved Cash Flow:** Despite the profitability challenges, operating cash flow increased by 10%, and free cash flow improved by 50% (excluding business exits). This is due to improved operating cash flow, reduced capital expenditure, and lease payments. * **Reduced Debt:** Net debt and net financial debt (pre-IFRS 16) both decreased significantly, indicating a focus on debt reduction. **Overall:** Capita's H1 2025 results show a mixed picture. While revenue and profitability faced headwinds, the company made progress in improving cash flow and reducing debt. The focus on cost reduction and strategic initiatives like AI integration suggests a continued effort to enhance operational efficiency and drive future growth.

**Summary**
Zotefoams plc, a global leader in supercritical foams, has entered into a joint venture agreement with Seoheung Co. Ltd., a footwear supply chain specialist, to support the construction and commissioning of a new manufacturing facility in Vietnam. Seoheung will invest $10 million for an initial 17.5% equity stake in the holding company for the facility, with the option to increase its stake to 35% for an additional $14 million. The total project cost is approximately $32 million, with Zotefoams funding the remaining $22 million from existing debt facilities. The facility is expected to be commissioned in Q4 2026.
The partnership aims to de-risk Zotefoams Asian investment by leveraging Seoheungs local manufacturing expertise, sharing costs, and mitigating operational risks. This collaboration supports Zotefoams strategic shift towards producing advanced 3D preforms for the athletic footwear market. The joint venture will also benefit from Seoheungs 30+ years of local knowledge in injection moulding and footwear manufacturing.
Additionally, Zotefoams announced the appointment of Brandon Thomas as Managing Director - Asia, a newly created role reflecting the regions strategic importance. Brandon, formerly General Manager, Asia at Nike, will lead the execution of the joint venture and investment in Asia.
Zotefoams CEO, Ronan Cox, emphasized the joint ventures benefits in de-risking the project, accelerating growth, and strengthening relationships with Tier 1 factory partners in Southeast and East Asia. The move underscores Zotefoams confidence in the growth potential of its footwear business and commitment to delivering shareholder value.

Proposed Tender Offer, Delisting & Notice of GM

**Summary:** Dewhurst Group PLC, a global manufacturer and supplier of components to the lift, transport, and keypad industries, has announced a proposed tender offer, delisting from AIM, and re-registration as a private limited company. …

**Summary**
Dewhurst Group PLC, a global manufacturer and supplier of components to the lift, transport, and keypad industries, has announced a proposed tender offer, delisting from AIM, and re-registration as a private limited company. The company plans to return up to £25.0 million to qualifying shareholders through a tender offer, offering premiums of 23% for A Shares and 14% for Ordinary Shares. This will be funded by existing cash resources and a new £20.0 million debt facility from HSBC. The tender offer is inter-conditional with the delisting and re-registration, requiring approval at a General Meeting on August 21, 2025.
The delisting is motivated by the companys belief that maintaining a public listing is no longer in its best interest due to changing market conditions, limited liquidity, and high costs. Following delisting, the company will establish a Secondary Market Trading Facility to provide shareholders with a means to trade shares, though liquidity is not guaranteed. The re-registration as a private company is expected to reduce overhead costs and provide more flexibility.
The tender offer, delisting, and re-registration are subject to shareholder approval, with the board recommending shareholders vote in favor of the resolutions. The company has received irrevocable undertakings from major shareholders, representing 74.2% of voting rights, to support the proposals. If approved, the delisting will take effect on September 11, 2025, and re-registration is expected by September 26, 2025. Shareholders are advised to consider the implications carefully and seek independent advice if necessary.

**Summary**
Gelion plc, a global energy storage innovator, has achieved a significant breakthrough in Lithium-Sulfur (Li-S) battery technology, demonstrating exceptional performance in initial coin cell <mark style="background-color:yellow">test</mark>s. This milestone builds on their collaboration with the Max Planck Institute of Colloids and Interfaces (MPI) and follows successful Sodium-Sulfur (Na-S) coin cell results announced earlier in 2025. Key results include
1. **Longer Battery Life** Li-S coin cells with Gelions proprietary Sulfur Cathode surpassed 1,000 cycles under aggressive testing conditions, retaining 90% of theoretical capacity at C/10 discharge rates, indicating suitability for mass-market e-mobility.
2. **Higher Power Performance** Cells retained 75% of theoretical capacity at high discharge rates (10C), meeting demands for applications like drones and fast-charging electric vehicles.
This advancement addresses longstanding challenges in Li-S technology, such as poor cycle life and limited high-rate performance, positioning Gelion’s Li-S batteries as a viable, sustainable alternative to lithium-ion batteries. With 60-70% higher specific energy density, lower material costs, and improved sustainability, Gelion’s breakthrough paves the way for commercialization across diverse applications, including e-mobility, drones, and stationary energy storage. CEO John Wood emphasized the collaboration with MPI as a pivotal step toward meeting future energy storage demands with high-performance, sustainable battery technology.

**Summary of Serica Energy PLCs Half-Year Report for the Six Months Ended 30 June 2025**

**Profit Before Taxation** $101 million, compared to $188 million in H1 2024.

**Summary**
YouGov PLC, a global research and data analytics group, released its full-year trading update for FY25 (ending July 31, 2025). The company expects performance to align with expectations, driven by strong reported revenue and adjusted operating profit, primarily due to the full-year impact of the CPS acquisition. On an underlying basis, modest revenue growth was achieved, supported by a return to growth in the Data Products division, which saw low-single-digit growth due to stable renewal rates and new client wins. The Research division experienced modest growth, while YouGov Shopper (formerly CPS) performed slightly ahead of expectations, with ongoing investment in growth initiatives.
The Group is on track to realize £20 million in annualized cost savings, with 70% already achieved in FY25. Looking ahead, YouGov remains cautious about volatile market conditions and client budget pressures, emphasizing the need for high-quality data products and innovation to drive medium-term growth. The company highlighted its global reach, unique panel of millions of members, and reputation as a trusted source of real-time insights, powered by advanced technology platforms.

**Summary**
European Metals Holdings Limited (EMH) announced that its subsidiary, Geomet, has been granted an updated **Preliminary Mining Permit** by the Czech Ministry of the Environment for the **Cinovec South** lithium deposit. This permit, valid until 2033, covers 1.4807 km² and is a critical step toward obtaining a **Final Mining Permit**. Combined with existing permits for Cinovec Northwest and Cinovec-East, it encompasses the entire Cinovec ore reserve, Europes largest hard rock lithium deposit and the worlds fifth-largest non-brine deposit.
EMH plans to consolidate all three permits into one to streamline the process for a single Final Mining Permit. The Cinovec project, designated as a **Strategic Project** by the EU and the Czech Government, is well-positioned to benefit from the growing demand for lithium, particularly in Europe, driven by the EUs Critical Raw Materials Act.
The project is jointly owned by EMH (49%) and CEZ a.s. (51%), a leading Czech energy company. Cinovec has a measured and indicated resource of 413.5 million tonnes at 0.45% Li2O, with an initial probable ore reserve of 34.5 million tonnes at 0.65% Li2O, supporting 20 years of mining at 22,500 tpa of lithium carbonate.
EMH is progressing toward completing a **Definitive Feasibility Study (DFS)**, with metallurgical <mark style="background-color:yellow">test</mark>work successfully producing battery-grade lithium hydroxide and carbonate. The project is strategically located with strong infrastructure support, including road, rail, and power access.
Keith Coughlan, Executive Chairman, highlighted the permit as a critical milestone, aligning with favorable market conditions and regional support for the projects success.
**Key Points**
Preliminary Mining Permit granted for Cinovec South, valid until 2033.
Permit consolidation planned to streamline Final Mining Permit process.
Cinovec is Europes largest hard rock lithium deposit, designated as a Strategic Project by the EU and Czech Government.
Project benefits from strong lithium demand and EU Critical Raw Materials Act.
EMH progressing toward DFS completion, with positive metallurgical results.
Strategic location with robust infrastructure support.

Capita PLC

Capita plcs half-year results for 2025 show solid progress against strategic objectives, with a focus on transformation and innovation. Key highlights include
**Financial Performance**Adjusted revenue decreased by 4% to £1,154.8 million, primarily due to contract losses and subdued volumes in the Telecommunications vertical. Adjusted operating profit declined by 22% to £42.6 million, reflecting revenue reductions and reinvestment in the business.
**Contract Wins**Total contract value (TCV) won increased by 17% to £1,044.4 million, driven by strong performance in Capita Public Service. The company has a pipeline of £4.4 billion in higher technology opportunities.
**Cost Savings**Capita is on track to deliver £250 million in cost savings by December 2025, with £205 million already actioned as of July 2025.

**Divisional Performance**Capita Public Service saw a 4% revenue growth, while Contact Centre experienced a 20% decline. Pension Solutions and Regulated Services had minor revenue changes.
**Outlook**Capita expects adjusted revenue to be broadly flat for the full year 2025, with a modest improvement in Group margin and positive free cash flow from the end of 2025.

**Key Observations:** * **Revenue Decline:** Capita experienced a 6% decline in reported revenue and a 4% decline in adjusted revenue year-on-year. This is primarily attributed to contract losses, volume reductions in the Telecommunications vertical, and the impact of offshoring in the Contact Centre business. * **Profitability Pressure:** Operating profit saw a significant drop of 79%, while adjusted operating profit decreased by 22%. This reflects the revenue decline, reinvestment in the business, and increased costs related to pay awards and National Insurance. * **Improved Cash Flow:** Despite the profitability challenges, operating cash flow increased by 10%, and free cash flow improved by 50% (excluding business exits). This is due to improved operating cash flow, reduced capital expenditure, and lease payments. * **Reduced Debt:** Net debt and net financial debt (pre-IFRS 16) both decreased significantly, indicating a focus on debt reduction. **Overall:** Capita's H1 2025 results show a mixed picture. While revenue and profitability faced headwinds, the company made progress in improving cash flow and reducing debt. The focus on cost reduction and strategic initiatives like AI integration suggests a continued effort to enhance operational efficiency and drive future growth.

Proposed Tender Offer, Delisting & Notice of GM

Dewhurst

**Summary**
Dewhurst Group PLC, a global manufacturer and supplier of components to the lift, transport, and keypad industries, has announced a proposed tender offer, delisting from AIM, and re-registration as a private limited company. The company plans to return up to £25.0 million to qualifying shareholders through a tender offer, offering premiums of 23% for A Shares and 14% for Ordinary Shares. This will be funded by existing cash resources and a new £20.0 million debt facility from HSBC. The tender offer is inter-conditional with the delisting and re-registration, requiring approval at a General Meeting on August 21, 2025.
The delisting is motivated by the companys belief that maintaining a public listing is no longer in its best interest due to changing market conditions, limited liquidity, and high costs. Following delisting, the company will establish a Secondary Market Trading Facility to provide shareholders with a means to trade shares, though liquidity is not guaranteed. The re-registration as a private company is expected to reduce overhead costs and provide more flexibility.
The tender offer, delisting, and re-registration are subject to shareholder approval, with the board recommending shareholders vote in favor of the resolutions. The company has received irrevocable undertakings from major shareholders, representing 74.2% of voting rights, to support the proposals. If approved, the delisting will take effect on September 11, 2025, and re-registration is expected by September 26, 2025. Shareholders are advised to consider the implications carefully and seek independent advice if necessary.

YouGov plc

**Summary**
YouGov PLC, a global research and data analytics group, released its full-year trading update for FY25 (ending July 31, 2025). The company expects performance to align with expectations, driven by strong reported revenue and adjusted operating profit, primarily due to the full-year impact of the CPS acquisition.

The Group is on track to realize £20 million in annualized cost savings, with 70% already achieved in FY25.

Preliminary Mining Permit granted - Cinovec South

European Metals Holdings Limited

**Summary**
European Metals Holdings Limited (EMH) announced that its subsidiary, Geomet, has been granted an updated **Preliminary Mining Permit** by the Czech Ministry of the Environment for the **Cinovec South** lithium deposit. This permit, valid until 2033, covers 1.4807 km² and is a critical step toward obtaining a **Final Mining Permit**. Combined with existing permits for Cinovec Northwest and Cinovec-East, it encompasses the entire Cinovec ore reserve, Europes largest hard rock lithium deposit and the worlds fifth-largest non-brine deposit.
EMH plans to consolidate all three permits into one to streamline the process for a single Final Mining Permit. The Cinovec project, designated as a **Strategic Project** by the EU and the Czech Government, is well-positioned to benefit from the growing demand for lithium, particularly in Europe, driven by the EUs Critical Raw Materials Act.
The project is jointly owned by EMH (49%) and CEZ a.s. (51%), a leading Czech energy company. Cinovec has a measured and indicated resource of 413.5 million tonnes at 0.45% Li2O, with an initial probable ore reserve of 34.5 million tonnes at 0.65% Li2O, supporting 20 years of mining at 22,500 tpa of lithium carbonate.
EMH is progressing toward completing a **Definitive Feasibility Study (DFS)**, with metallurgical <mark style="background-color:yellow">test</mark>work successfully producing battery-grade lithium hydroxide and carbonate. The project is strategically located with strong infrastructure support, including road, rail, and power access.
Keith Coughlan, Executive Chairman, highlighted the permit as a critical milestone, aligning with favorable market conditions and regional support for the projects success.
**Key Points**
Preliminary Mining Permit granted for Cinovec South, valid until 2033.
Permit consolidation planned to streamline Final Mining Permit process.
Cinovec is Europes largest hard rock lithium deposit, designated as a Strategic Project by the EU and Czech Government.
Project benefits from strong lithium demand and EU Critical Raw Materials Act.
EMH progressing toward DFS completion, with positive metallurgical results.
