On behalf of the Board of Directors, I am pleased to report to you on what has been another busy and productive year for your Company, set against a backdrop of significantly higher prices for both of our key products, lithium and tin. Our strategy is to become a Czech based lithium and tin producer. The progress we have made in the past year, along with the greatly improved macro conditions, bring us significantly closer towards making that aim a reality. This has been partially reflected in the price of the Company’s securities with the CDI’s listed on ASX increasing from AUD 0.29 on 30 June 2020 to AUD 1.535 on 30 June 2021. The price of lithium performed well for the year also and has made very significant gains since year end. As the lithium market moves into deficit, we anticipate the continuation of strong prices in the foreseeable future. The Definitive Feasibility Study continues, albeit with some minor delays related primarily to Covid-19 and the effect that has had on logistics globally. Whilst we have had no direct Covid-19 related issues at site, moving samples and our people has been problematic at times. We don’t anticipate any escalation in this. Apart from these delays, we have made steady progress of the Cinovec Project with positive developments in the areas of our locked cycle testwork, permitting advancement and Measured Resource drilling programme. We have also advanced the Project’s ESG credentials significantly and Cinovec is emerging as a project with not only very robust economic parameters, but one with a strong ESG profile relative to its peers. We will continue developing this aspect of the project over the coming year and expect to be able to present a positive Life Cycle Assessment (LCA) to the market shortly. The LCA will demonstrate the Project’s anticipated life-time carbon emissions, which we expect to be comparatively very attractive. The Project has been significantly de-risked and at the time of this report is moving rapidly towards a final investment decision. In the previous year, we reported on the completion of an agreement with CEZ a.s., the Czech national power utility, by which CEZ became a 51% shareholder of the Project Company, Geomet and injected approximately EUR 29 million into the Project. Early in the 2021 Financial Year the Company entered into a partnership agreement with EIT InnoEnergy, a European Union body that is the principal facilitator and organiser of the European Battery Alliance (EBA). The EBA was initiated by the European Commission to create a competitive and sustainable battery cell manufacturing value chain in Europe. The purpose of the partnership agreement with EIT InnoEnergy is to facilitate the accelerated construction financing and ultimate commercialisation of Cinovec. This will be achieved through assistance in the sourcing of construction finance, grant funding and offtake introductions and negotiations. Following this, the Company reported on the appointment of SMS group as the lead engineer for the minerals processing and lithium battery-grade chemicals production at the Project. From a corporate perspective, we welcomed Ambassador Lincoln Bloomfield to the board in early January. Lincoln brings a wealth of experience to the Company in the fields of governance, international diplomacy, sustainability, resilience and renewable energy. Lincoln is based in the United States, home to the largest capital markets in the world and markets that are becoming increasingly invested in green energy companies. This, coupled with our recent US market listing via a NASDAQ ADS programme, provides the Company with another potential funding option as we head towards final investment decision next year.  3        EUROPEAN METALS HOLDINGS LIMITED ARBN 154 618 989 ANNUAL REPORT 30 JUNE 2021 CHAIRMAN’S LETTER  On funding, the Company raised AUD 7.1 million in January and remains in a very sound financial position relative to the project timeline. The cornerstone investor for this raising was Luxembourg-based Thematica Future Mobility. The very strong commitment within the European Union to build a sustainable European battery industry and electric vehicle industry that we reported on last year has gathered greater momentum. Consequently, the demand for lithium in the region has grown dramatically and this is likely to continue. This, coupled with a growing global desire to develop local supply chains, has focused attention on European based projects involved in the battery metals supply chain. Cinovec is set to benefit significantly from these developments. All things considered, I am very optimistic on the outlook for the Cinovec Project and for the future of your Company. Finally, I would like to take this opportunity to thank all staff, advisors, contractors and our shareholders who have supported us over the past year. I look forward to updating you throughout the new financial year as we continue to advance the Cinovec Project. Keith Coughlan EXECUTIVE CHAIRMAN 4   EUROPEAN METALS HOLDINGS LIMITED ARBN 154 618 989 ANNUAL REPORT 30 JUNE 2021 REVIEW OF OPERATIONS  PROJECT REVIEW Geomet s.r.o. controls the mineral exploration licenses awarded by the Czech State over the Cinovec Lithium/Tin Project. Geomet s.r.o. is owned 49% by European Metals and 51% by CEZ a.s. through its wholly owned subsidiary, SDAS. CEZ is a significant energy group listed on various European Exchanges with the ticker CEZ. Cinovec hosts a globally significant hard-rock lithium deposit with a total Indicated Mineral Resource of 372.4Mt at 0.45% Li2O and 0.04% Sn and an Inferred Mineral Resource of 323.5Mt at 0.39% Li2O and 0.04% Sn containing a combined 7.22 million tonnes Lithium Carbonate Equivalent and 263kt of tin, as reported to ASX on 28 November 2017 (Further Increase in Indicated Resource at Cinovec South). An initial Probable Ore Reserve of 34.5Mt at 0.65% Li2O and 0.09% Sn reported on 4 July 2017 (Cinovec Maiden Ore Reserve – Further Information) has been declared to cover the first 20 years’ mining at an output of 22,500tpa of battery-grade lithium carbonate reported on 11 July 2018 (Cinovec Production Modelled to Increase to 22,500tpa of Lithium Carbonate). This makes Cinovec the largest hard-rock lithium deposit in Europe, the fourth largest non-brine deposit in the world and a globally significant tin resource. The deposit has previously had over 400,000 tonnes of ore mined as a trial sub-level open-stope underground mining operation focussed on the recovery of tin only. In June 2019 EMH completed an updated Preliminary Feasibility Study, conducted by specialist independent consultants, which indicated a return post tax NPV of USD1.108B and a post-tax IRR of 28.8%. The study confirmed that the Cinovec Project is a potential low operating cost producer of battery grade lithium hydroxide or battery grade lithium carbonate as markets demand. It confirmed the deposit is amenable to bulk underground mining. Metallurgical test-work has produced both battery grade lithium hydroxide and battery grade lithium carbonate in addition to high-grade tin concentrate. Cinovec is centrally located for European end-users and is well serviced by infrastructure, with a sealed road adjacent to the deposit, rail lines located 5 km north and 8 km south of the deposit and an active 22 kV transmission line running to the historic mine. As the deposit lies in an active mining region, it has strong community support. The economic viability of Cinovec has been enhanced by the recent strong increase in demand for lithium globally, and within Europe specifically. PARTNERSHIP AGREEMENT WITH EUROPEAN UNION BODY On 28 July 2020, the Company announced that a ”Value Added Services Agreement” with KIC InnoEnergy SE (“EIT InnoEnergy”, part of the European Institute of Innovation and Technology), the principal facilitator and organiser of the European Battery Alliance, had been entered into by Geomet in respect of the Cinovec Lithium Project. The purpose of the financing agreement with EIT InnoEnergy is to support the construction financing and ultimate commercialisation of Cinovec by EIT InnoEnergy providing assistance to support the:    Sourcing of construction finance; Securing of grant funding; and Assisting in offtake introductions and negotiations. APPOINTMENT OF LEADING GLOBAL ENGINEER SMS group Process Technologies GmbH was appointed as the lead engineer for the minerals processing and lithium battery-grade chemicals production at the Cinovec Project in September 2020. SMS group will provide a complete Front-End Engineering Design (“FEED“) study as the major component of the ongoing Definitive Feasibility Study (“DFS“) work at Cinovec. 5        EUROPEAN METALS HOLDINGS LIMITED ARBN 154 618 989 ANNUAL REPORT 30 JUNE 2021 REVIEW OF OPERATIONS  APPOINTMENT OF LEADING GLOBAL ENGINEER (CONTINUED) Headquartered in Dusseldorf, the German family-owned SMS group is one of the world’s leading companies in plant construction and mechanical engineering for the technology metals and materials sector. SMS group is also a world leader in electrical and automation systems including digital solutions for self-learning processing plants to continuously optimise plant performance, product quality and energy consumption. Under the Agreement, SMS will provide the following to the Cinovec Project: • Full process integration from the point of delivery of ore to the underground crusher through to the delivery of finished battery-grade lithium chemicals for battery and cathode manufacturers. • The FEED will include all of the process steps – comminution, beneficiation, roasting, leaching and purification. • The FEED will encompass both the lithium process flowsheet and the tin/tungsten recovery circuit delivering metal concentrates to refineries. • The FEED is intended to deliver a binding fixed price lump sum turnkey EPC contract with associated process guarantee and product specification guarantees for battery-grade lithium chemicals. The combination of these will greatly assist to underwrite project financing from leading European and global financial institutions lending into this new energy EV-led industrial revolution. ESG – ENVIRONMENTAL, SOCIAL AND GOVERNANCE ESG and impact investing have become key criteria for both investors and fund managers, leading a new path to how companies are being assessed. The acceleration has been driven by heightened social, governmental and consumer attention on the broader impact of corporations, as well as by the investors and executives who acknowledge that a strong ESG proposition is a key indicator of a company’s long- term success. ESG reporting offers a tool and roadmap for investors and society to hold companies to account, to make sure that the issues such as climate change, social justice, equality, diversity and environmental protection are reflected and appropriately addressed by the company in focus. European Metals has focused very strongly on the Project’s ESG criteria and during the year adopted a set of ESG metrics and disclosures following the recommendations released by the World Economic Forum (“WEF”) in Geneva, Switzerland which are acknowledged as the gold standard for ESG reporting. The key points of this initiative are – • Establishment of an ESG Committee at Board level, to be chaired by Ambassador Lincoln Bloomfield who has considerable private sector experience centred on sustainability, resilience and renewable energy. • Engagement of Socialsuite ESG technology platform - a global leader in ESG impact management systems and sustainability reporting. • Initiation of ESG reporting, monitoring and improvement for European Metals utilising Socialsuite. • EMH’s ESG transparency commitment will include an independent lithium production Life Cycle Assessment (“LCA”) which will includes a full carbon footprint assessment. LITHIUM LIFE CYCLE ASSESSMENT SPECIALIST ENGAGED In line with the stated ESG adoption, the Project engaged UK-based and globally recognised sustainability and life cycle assessment consultancy, Minviro, to provide an ISO compliant life cycle assessment (“LCA”) of the Cinovec project. This assessment will cover both battery-grade lithium carbonate and battery grade lithium hydroxide and will be benchmarked against global lithium peers. Minviro has been actively engaged to identify decarbonisation optimisation in the developing feasibility study for Cinovec. 6   EUROPEAN METALS HOLDINGS LIMITED ARBN 154 618 989 ANNUAL REPORT 30 JUNE 2021 REVIEW OF OPERATIONS  LITHIUM LIFE CYCLE ASSESSMENT SPECIALIST ENGAGED (CONTINUED) The Company strongly believes that the Cinovec LCAs will demonstrate strong carbon footprint credentials with lower energy use, less intensive reagent application and net carbon credits from mine and process by-products. Minviro has provided the assessment to Geomet and it is currently undergoing external independent QA/QC before publication. DRILLING Throughout the year the Company reported a number of times on the ongoing drilling programme at the Project. The programme began in the third quarter of 2020 and continued on and off for the duration of the year. There were some delays in the programme brought about by unfavourable weather and also impacts of Covid -19 as mentioned earlier. The aims of the drilling programme are to convert a sufficient portion of the existing Indicated Mineral Resource to the Measured Resource category and subsequently to a Mineral Reserve, to cover the first two years of the scheduled mining plan and obtaining a sufficient amount of ore samples for the next phase of metallurgical testing. The majority of the material will be utilised in the pilot scale testing for the FEED Study. The drilling programme was planned to define blocks of resource for the first 5 years of mining within the Cinovec-South area. The holes have been terminated in ore consistent with the aim of targeting the first 5 years of resource blocks for the mine. The Company reported interim drilling results either in line with, or better than expectations. Given the relative ease of beneficiation of the Cinovec deposit through wet magnetic separation, the Company decided that it was important to report the drill results and the “in lab” beneficiation results, with historic results of wet magnetic separation achieving a >80% pure lithium mica concentrate grading 2.85% Li2O with a lithium recovery of 92%. CORPORATE The Company completed a significant capital raising of AUD 7.1 million in February 2021, the proceeds of which will be used to advance the Company’s strategy including progressing the development of the Project, progressing discussions with CEZ and discussions with potential off take and strategic partners. The capital raising was cornerstoned by the Luxembourg based green energy fund, Thematica Future Mobility. NOMAD CHANGE In January of this year, the Company advised it had appointed WH Ireland plc as its Nominated Adviser on AIM. WH Ireland will continue to act as joint broker to the Company, along with Shard Capital. 7   EUROPEAN METALS HOLDINGS LIMITED ARBN 154 618 989 ANNUAL REPORT 30 JUNE 2021 REVIEW OF OPERATIONS  BOARD CHANGE Also in January, Ambassador Lincoln Bloomfield joined the board of the Company as a Non-executive Director. Ambassador Bloomfield who is based in Washington, DC, brings governance and regulatory experience, years of international diplomacy and security expertise to the Board, along with a North American presence while his private sector experience is centered on sustainability, resilience and renewable energy. Ambassador Bloomfield’s prior work in developing the US Government’s first international policy on Cyber Security, and his related work on Critical Infrastructure Protection will help EMH and downstream partners operate securely for many years. His deep experience in managing bilateral relationships with both the State Department and the Department of Defense will help EMH sustain effective relationships, both governmental and non-governmental. He will support EMH in its key relationships with the European Community, European Battery Alliance, European Raw Metals Alliance, and others seeking to create a highly secure, uniform and resilient framework for batteries and critical raw materials supply. Ambassador Bloomfield is a valuable addition as EMH is focused on ESG-related aspects of the critical raw materials and battery supply chain, as part of its commitment to support the European Commission’s new Batteries Regulation, a significant, far-reaching legislative development. Ambassador Bloomfield’s appointment confirms EMH’s commitment to meet the new Batteries Regulation’s three main objectives: strengthening the functioning of the EU internal market by ensuring a level playing field through a common set of rules; promoting a circular economy; and reducing environmental and social impact throughout all stages of the battery life cycle. Given the complexity of the new Batteries Regulation, EMH is reassured to know that he will be contributing to its efforts to achieve compliance throughout the organization. Ambassador Bloomfield holds several roles in the private sector promoting sustainability. Having served for eight years until 2017 as Chairman of the non-partisan Stimson Center, he is now Stimson Chairman Emeritus. He is a Director and National Executive Committee Member of the U.S. Water Partnership, a public-private non-profit entity co-chaired by Madeleine Albright and Colin Powell. He is a Director of the Detroit-based non-profit energy NGO The Last Kilometer, and Vice Chairman of Mana Pacific, a Honolulu-based enterprise seeking to provide locally-managed and affordable renewable energy microgrids throughout the Pacific islands. He provides expert policy and consulting services to three Washington DC entities including the law firm Akin Gump. As President of Palmer Coates LLC, Lincoln maintains commercial relationships with startup entities developing innovative energy and transportation technologies, including as Advisor and investor in Seatrec, Inc. and President of an early-stage technology startup, called D3E, offering next-generation “optimal” flight control technology to enable robustness and autonomy in future drone aircraft. COVID-19 UPDATE On 24 April 2020, the Company provided the market with an update regarding the operations and Covid- 19. It was reported that all management and staff of both EMH and Geomet were unaffected by COVID- 19 and the restrictions on travel at the time and meetings were not expected to have any impact for the foreseeable future; all staff were able and continued to work remotely. To-date, the Cinovec Project has drilled in excess of 13,800m of diamond drilling under the management of EMH. Extensive sample quantities are available from the resulting drill core as well as material recovered from historic adit drives into the ore body. Significant quantities of ore sample are held at our laboratory partners in Germany and at the project office in the Czech Republic. European Metals and Geomet have confirmed with our laboratory and engineering partners in Germany and Australia that staff and laboratories involved in the DFS and FEED programmes over the next 3 months are ready and open for work on an immediate basis. 8          EUROPEAN METALS HOLDINGS LIMITED ARBN 154 618 989 ANNUAL REPORT 30 JUNE 2021 DIRECTORS’ REPORT  Your Directors present their report, together with the financial statements of the Group, being European Metals Holdings Limited (“EMH” or the “Company”) and its controlled entities (“Group”), for the year ended 30 June 2021.

The establishment of an ESG Committee at Board level is chaired by Ambassador Lincoln Bloomfield who has considerable private sector experience centred on sustainability, resilience and renewable energy. Ambassador Bloomfield has stated, “European Metals is making every effort to ensure that any finished product containing our lithium will satisfy the public’s need for assurance that high ESG standards have been upheld at every stage of our production process. We are committed to the well-being of our workforce, minimizing environmental impact throughout our process, and being a good neighbour within the local community”. The Company engaged Socialsuite ESG technology platform - a global leader in ESG impact management systems and sustainability reporting. The Company has deployed Socialsuite’s ESG technology platform to set its initial ESG baseline in its first quarterly ESG dashboard. With a tailored action plan, the Company will focus on delivering and reporting ongoing progress toward disclosing and improving ESG metrics and indicators. Socialsuite’s ESG reporting technology provides an easy way for investors and other stakeholders to assess the commitment and progress of the Company on its journey to create “best in class” ESG credentials and outcomes. The Company’s ESG transparency commitment is a precursor to an independent lithium production Life Cycle Assessment2 (“LCA”) which includes a full Carbon Footprint assessment.

The Directors are pleased to present the remuneration report which sets out the remuneration information for European Metals Holdings Limited’s Non-Executive Directors, Executive Directors and other key management personnel. A. Principles used to determine the nature and amount of remuneration The remuneration policy of the Group has been designed to align Director and management objectives with shareholder and business objectives by providing a fixed remuneration component, and offering specific long-term incentives based on key performance areas affecting the Group financial results. The Board of the Company believes the remuneration policy to be appropriate and effective in its ability to attract and retain the best management and Directors to run and manage the Group, as well as create goal congruence between Directors, Executives and shareholders. The Board’s policy for determining the nature and amount of remuneration for Board members and Senior Executives of the Group is as follows: The remuneration policy, setting the terms and conditions for the Executive Directors and other Senior Executives, was developed by the Board. All Executives receive a base salary (which is based on factors such as length of service and experience), superannuation, options and performance incentives. The Board reviews Executive packages annually by reference to the Group’s performance, executive performance, and comparable information from industry sectors and other listed companies in similar industries. Executives are also entitled to participate in the employee share and option arrangements. All remuneration paid to Directors and Executives is valued at the cost to the Group and expensed. The Board policy is to remunerate Non-executive Directors at commercial market rates for comparable companies for time, commitment, and responsibilities. The Board determines payments to the Non-executive Directors and reviews their remuneration annually based on market practice, duties, and accountability. Independent external advice is sought when required. The maximum aggregate amount of fees that can be paid to Non-executive Directors is subject to approval by shareholders at the Annual General Meeting. Fees for Non-Executive Directors are not linked to the performance of the Group. However, to align Directors’ interests with shareholder interests, the Directors are encouraged to hold CDIs in the Company. The remuneration policy has been tailored to increase the direct positive relationship between shareholders’ investment objectives and Directors’ and Executives’ performance. Currently, this is facilitated through the issue of options to the majority of Directors and Executives to encourage the alignment of personal and shareholder interests. The Company believes this policy will be effective in increasing shareholder wealth. For details of Directors’ and Executives’ interests in CDIs, options and performance shares at year end, refer to the remuneration report. B. Details of Remuneration Details of the nature and amount of each element of the emoluments of each of the KMP of the Company (the Directors) for the year ended 30 June 2021 are set out in the following tables: The maximum amount of remuneration for Non-Executive Directors is $300,000 as approved by shareholders. During the financial period, the Company did not engage any remuneration consultants. 15     EUROPEAN METALS HOLDINGS LIMITED ARBN 154 618 989 ANNUAL REPORT 30 JUNE 2021 DIRECTORS’ REPORT  REMUNERATION REPORT (AUDITED) 2021 Group Key Management Personnel Short-term benefits Post- employment benefits Long- term benefits Equity-settled share-based payments Total % of remuneration as share based payments Salary, fees and leave Profit share and bonuses Non- monetary Other Super- annuation Long Service Leave Equity Options $ $ $ $ $ $ $ $ $ 279,000 99,490 - 27,407 27,345 17,825 Directors Keith Coughlan(i) Kiran Morzaria 33,567 - Richard Pavlik Lincoln Palmer Bloomfield, Jr (ii) - 50,469 27,468 19,714 - - - - - - - - - - - - 340,035 169,673 - 27,407 27,345 17,825 - - - - - - 451,067 - - - 33,567 50,469 47,182 - 582,285 - - - - - Notes: (i) During the financial year, a total of $137,280 of Mr Coughlan’s remuneration was reimbursed by Geomet s.r.o.

The financial statements are general purpose financial statements, which have been prepared in Interpretations, other accordance with Australian Accounting Standards, Australian Accounting authoritative pronouncements of the Australian Accounting Standards Boards (AASB) and the Corporations Act 2001. The Group is a for-profit entity for financial reporting purposes under Australian Accounting Standards. The accounting policies detailed below have been adopted in the preparation of the financial report. Except for cash flow information, the financial statements have been prepared on an accrual basis and are based on historical cost, modified, where applicable, by the measurement at fair values of selected non-current assets, financial assets and financial liabilities. The Company is a listed public company, incorporated in the British Virgin Islands and registered in Australia. (i) Accounting policies The Group has considered the implications of new and amended Accounting Standards which have become applicable for the current financial reporting year. New and Revised Accounting Standards Adopted by the Group Initial adoption of AASB 2020-04: COVID-19-Related Rent Concessions – COVID-19 Related Rent AASB 2020-4: Amendments Concessions amends AASB 16 by providing a practical expedient that permits lessees to assess whether rent concessions that occur as a direct consequence of the COVID-19 pandemic and, if certain conditions are met, account for those rent concessions as if they were not lease modifications. to Australian Accounting Standards Initial adoption of AASB 2018-6: Amendments to Australian Accounting Standards – Definition of a Business AASB 2018-6 amends and narrows the definition of a business specified in AASB 3: Business Combinations, simplifying the determination of whether a transaction should be accounted for as a business combination or an asset acquisition. Entities may also perform a calculation and elect to treat certain acquisitions as acquisitions of assets. Initial adoption of AASB 2018-7: Amendments to Australian Accounting Standards – Definition of Material This amendment principally amends AASB 101 and AASB 108 by refining the definition of material by improving the wording and aligning the definition across the standards issued by the AASB. Initial adoption of AASB 2019-3: Amendments to Australian Accounting Standards – Interest Rate Benchmark This amendment amends specific hedge accounting requirements to provide relief from the potential effects of the uncertainty caused by interest rate benchmark reform. Initial adoption of AASB 2019-1: Amendments to Australian Accounting Standards – References to the Conceptual Framework This amendment amends Australian Accounting Standards, Interpretations and other pronouncements to reflect the issuance of Conceptual Framework for Financial Reporting by the AASB. The standards listed above did not have any impact on the amounts recognised in prior periods and are not expected to significantly affect the current or future periods. 27           EUROPEAN METALS HOLDINGS LIMITED ARBN 154 618 989 ANNUAL FINANCIAL REPORT 30 JUNE 2021 NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS FOR THE YEAR ENDED 30 JUNE 2021 NOTE 1: STATEMENT OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (CONTINUED) (a) Basis of preparation (continued) (i) Accounting policies (continued) New and revised Accounting Standards for Application in Future Periods Any new, revised or amending Accounting Standards or Interpretations that are not yet mandatory have not been early adopted. The adoption of these Accounting Standards and Interpretations did not have any significant impact on the financial performance or position of the Group. There are no other standards that are not yet effective and that would be expected to have a material impact on the entity in the current or future reporting period and on foreseeable future transactions. (ii) Statement of Compliance The financial report was authorised for issue on 30 September 2021. Australian Accounting Standards set out accounting policies that the AASB has concluded would result in the financial statements containing relevant and reliable information about transactions, events and conditions. Compliance with Australian Accounting Standards ensures that the financial statements and notes also comply with International Financial Reporting Standards as issued by the IASB. (iii) Financial Position The Directors have prepared the financial statements on going concern basis, which contemplates continuity of normal business activities and the realisation of assets and extinguishment of liabilities in the ordinary course of business. At 30 June 2021, the Group comprising the Company and its subsidiaries has incurred a loss for the year amounting to $3,962,450 (2020: income of $2,813,807). The Group has a net working capital surplus of $7,725,229 (2020: deficit of $897,897) and cash and cash equivalents of $7,880,673 (2020: $58,951). The Directors have prepared a cash flow forecast, which indicates that the Company will have sufficient cash flows to meet all commitments and working capital requirements for the 12-month period from the date of signing this financial report. Based on the cash flow forecasts, the Directors are satisfied that the going concern basis of preparation is appropriate. In determining the appropriateness of the basis of preparation, the Directors have considered the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic on the position of the Company at 30 June 2021 and its operations in future periods. (iv) Critical accounting estimates and judgements The application of accounting policies requires the use of judgements, estimates and assumptions about carrying values of assets and liabilities that are not readily apparent from other sources. The estimates and associated assumptions are based on historical experience and other factors that are considered to be relevant. Actual results may differ from these estimates. The estimates and underlying assumptions are reviewed on an ongoing basis. Revisions are recognised in the period in which the estimate is revised if it affects only that period or in the period of the revision and future periods if the revision affects both current and future periods. Share-based payment transactions The Group measures the cost of equity-settled transactions with employees and consultants by reference to the estimated fair value of the equity instruments at the date at which they are granted. These are expensed over the estimated vesting periods. Judgement has been exercised on the probability and timing of achieving milestones related to performance rights granted to Directors. 28     EUROPEAN METALS HOLDINGS LIMITED ARBN 154 618 989 ANNUAL FINANCIAL REPORT 30 JUNE 2021 NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS FOR THE YEAR ENDED 30 JUNE 2021 NOTE 1: STATEMENT OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (CONTINUED) (a) Basis of preparation (continued) (iv) Critical accounting estimates and judgements (continued) Estimation of the Group’s borrowing rate The lease payments used to determine the lease liability and rignt-of-use of asset at 1 July 2020 under AASB 16 Leases are discounted using the Group’s incremental borrowing rate of 5%. Recognition of deferred tax assets Deferred tax assets relating to temporary differences and unused tax losses have not been recognised as the Directors are of the opinion that it is not probable that future taxable profit will be available against which the benefits of the deferred tax assets can be utilised. (b) Income Tax Current income tax expense charged to the profit or loss is the tax payable on taxable income calculated using applicable income tax rates enacted, or substantially enacted, as at reporting date. Current tax liabilities (assets) are therefore measured at the amounts expected to be paid to (recovered from) the relevant taxation authority. Deferred income tax expense reflects movements in deferred tax asset and deferred tax liability balances during the year as well unused tax losses. Current and deferred income tax expense (income) is charged or credited directly to equity instead of the profit or loss when the tax relates to items that are credited or charged directly to equity. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are ascertained based on temporary differences arising between the tax bases of assets and liabilities and their carrying amounts in the financial statements. Deferred tax assets also result where amounts have been fully expensed but future tax deductions are available. No deferred income tax will be recognised from the initial recognition of an asset or liability, excluding a business combination, where there is no effect on accounting or taxable profit or loss. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are calculated at the tax rates that are expected to apply to the period when the asset is realised or the liability is settled, based on tax rates enacted or substantively enacted at reporting date. Their measurement also reflects the manner in which management expects to recover or settle the carrying amount of the related asset or liability. Deferred tax assets relating to temporary differences and unused tax losses are recognised only to the extent that it is probable that future taxable profit will be available against which the benefits of the deferred tax asset can be utilised. Where temporary differences exist in relation to investments in subsidiaries, branches, associates, and joint ventures, deferred tax assets and liabilities are not recognised where the timing of the reversal of the temporary difference can be controlled and it is not probable that the reversal will occur in the foreseeable future. Current tax assets and liabilities are offset where a legally enforceable right of set-off exists and it is intended that net settlement or simultaneous realisation and settlement of the respective asset and liability will occur. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are offset where a legally enforceable right of set- off exists, the deferred tax assets and liabilities relate to income taxes levied by the same taxation authority on either the same taxable entity or different taxable entities where it is intended that net settlement or simultaneous realisation and settlement of the respective asset and liability will occur in future periods in which significant amounts of deferred tax assets or liabilities are expected to be recovered or settled. 29     EUROPEAN METALS HOLDINGS LIMITED ARBN 154 618 989 ANNUAL FINANCIAL REPORT 30 JUNE 2021 NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS FOR THE YEAR ENDED 30 JUNE 2021 NOTE 1: STATEMENT OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (CONTINUED) (c) Impairment of Assets At the end of each reporting period the Group assesses whether there is an indication that an asset may be impaired. If any such indication exists, or when annual impairment testing for an asset is required, the Group makes an estimate of the asset’s recoverable amount. An asset’s recoverable amount is the higher of its fair value less costs to sell and its value in use and is determined for an individual asset, unless the asset does not generate cash inflows that are largely independent of those from other assets or groups of assets and the asset's value in use cannot be estimated to be close to its fair value. In such cases the asset is tested for impairment as part of the cash-generating unit to which it belongs. When the carrying amount of an asset or cash-generating unit exceeds its recoverable amount, the asset or cash-generating unit is considered impaired and is written down to its recoverable amount. In assessing value in use, the estimated future cash flows are discounted to their present value using a pre-tax discount rate that reflects current market assessments of the time value of money and the risks specific to the asset. Impairment losses relating to continuing operations are recognised in those expense categories consistent with the function of the impaired asset unless the asset is carried at revalued amount in which case the impairment loss is treated as a revaluation decrease. An assessment is also made at each reporting period as to whether there is any indication that previously recognised impairment losses may no longer exist or may have decreased. If such indication exists, the recoverable amount is estimated. A previously recognised impairment loss is reversed only if there has been a change in the estimates used to determine the asset’s recoverable amount since the last impairment loss was recognised. If that is the case the carrying amount of the asset is increased to its recoverable amount. That increased amount cannot exceed the carrying amount that would have been determined, net of depreciation, had no impairment loss been recognised for the asset in prior years. Such reversal is recognised in profit or loss unless the asset is carried at revalued amount, in which case the reversal is treated as a revaluation increase. After such a reversal the depreciation charge is adjusted in future periods to allocate the asset’s revised carrying amount, less any residual value, on a systematic basis over its remaining useful life. (d) Cash and cash equivalents Cash and cash equivalents includes cash on hand, deposits held at call with banks, other short-term highly liquid investments with original maturities of three months or less, and bank overdrafts. Bank overdrafts are shown within short-term borrowings in current liabilities in the Statement of Financial Position. (e) Revenue Interest Interest income is recognised using the effective interest method. Services Revenue Revenue is recognised at an amount that reflects the consideration to which the Group is expected to be entitled in exchange for transferring goods or services to a customer. For each contract with a customer, the Group: identifies the contract with a customer; identifies the performance obligations in the contract; determines the transaction price which takes into account estimates of variable consideration and the time value of money; allocates the transaction price to the separate performance obligations on the basis of the relative stand-alone selling price of each distinct good or service to be delivered; and recognises revenue when or as each performance obligation is satisfied in a manner that depicts the transfer to the customer of the goods or services promised. 30         EUROPEAN METALS HOLDINGS LIMITED ARBN 154 618 989 ANNUAL FINANCIAL REPORT 30 JUNE 2021 NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS FOR THE YEAR ENDED 30 JUNE 2021 NOTE 1: STATEMENT OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (CONTINUED) (f) Goods and Services Tax (GST) Revenues, expenses, and assets are recognised net of the amount of GST, except where the amount of GST incurred is not recoverable from the Australian Tax Office. In these circumstances the GST is recognised as part of the cost of acquisition of the asset or as part of an item of the expense. Receivables and payables in the Statement of Financial Position are shown inclusive of GST. Cash flows are presented in the Statement of Cash Flows on a gross basis, except for the GST component of investing and financing activities, which are disclosed as operating cash flows. (g) Trade and other receivables Trade receivables are measured on initial recognition at fair value and are subsequently measured at amortised cost using the effective interest rate method, less any allowance for impairment. Trade receivables are generally due for settlement within 30 days. Impairment of trade receivables is continually reviewed and those that are considered to be uncollectible are written off by reducing the carrying amount directly. An allowance account is used when there is objective evidence that the Group will not be able to collect all amounts due according to the original contractual terms. Factors considered by the Group in making this determination include known significant financial difficulties of the debtor, review of financial information and significant delinquency in making contractual payments to the Group. The impairment allowance is set equal to the difference between the carrying amount of the receivable and the present value of estimated future cash flows, discounted at the original effective interest rate. Where receivables are short-term discounting is not applied in determining the allowance. The amount of the impairment loss is recognised in the profit and loss within other expenses. When a trade receivable for which an impairment allowance had been recognised becomes uncollectible in a subsequent period, it is written off against the allowance account. Subsequent recoveries of amounts previously written off are credited against other expenses in the profit and loss. (h) Government grants An unconditional government grant is recognised in profit or loss as other income when the grant becomes receivable. Grants that compensate the Group for expenses incurred are recognised in profit or loss as other income on a systematic basis in the same period in which the expenses are recognised. Research and development tax incentives are recognised in the statement of profit or loss when received or when the amount to be received can be reliably estimated. (i) Employee Benefits Short-term benefits Short-term employee benefit obligations are measured on an undiscounted basis and are expensed as the related service is provided. A liability is recognised for the amount expected to be paid under short-term cash bonus or profit-sharing plans if the Group has a present legal or constructive obligation to pay this amount as a result of past service provided by the employee and the obligation can be estimated reliably. Other long-term employee benefits Provision is made for the liability due to employee benefits arising from services rendered by employees to the reporting date. Employee benefits expected to be settled within one year together with benefits arising out of wages and salaries, sick leave and annual leave which will be settled after one year, have been measured at their nominal amount. Other employee benefits payable later than one year have been measured at the present value of the estimated future cash outflows to be made for those benefits. Contributions made to defined employee superannuation funds are charged as expenses when incurred. 31     EUROPEAN METALS HOLDINGS LIMITED ARBN 154 618 989 ANNUAL FINANCIAL REPORT 30 JUNE 2021 NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS FOR THE YEAR ENDED 30 JUNE 2021 NOTE 1: STATEMENT OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (CONTINUED) (j) Financial Instruments Recognition, initial measurement and derecognition Financial assets and financial liabilities are recognised when the Group becomes a party to the contractual provisions of the financial instrument. Financial instruments (except for trade receivables) are measured initially at fair value adjusted by transaction costs, except for those carried at ‘fair value through profit or loss’, in which case transaction costs are expensed to profit or loss. Where available, quoted prices in an active market are used to determine the fair value. In other circumstances, valuation techniques are adopted. Subsequent measurement of financial assets and financial liabilities are described below. Trade receivables are initially measured at the transaction price if the receivables do not contain a significant financing component in accordance with AASB 15 Revenue from Contracts with Customers. Financial assets are derecognised when the contractual rights to the cash flows from the financial asset expire, or when the financial asset and all substantial risks and rewards are transferred. A financial liability is derecognised when it is extinguished, discharged, cancelled or expired. Classification and measurement Financial assets Except for those trade receivables that do not contain a significant financing component and are measured at the transaction price in accordance with AASB 15 Revenue from Contracts with Customers, all financial assets are initially measured at fair value adjusted for transaction costs (where applicable). For the purpose of subsequent measurement, financial assets other than those designated and effective as hedging instruments are classified into the following categories upon initial recognition: • • • amortised cost; fair value through other comprehensive income (FVOCI); and fair value through profit or loss (FVPL). Classifications are determined by both: • • the contractual cash flow characteristics of the financial assets; and the Group’s business model for managing the financial asset. Financial assets at amortised cost Financial assets are measured at amortised cost if the assets meet with the following conditions (and are not designated as FVPL); • they are held within a business model whose objective is to hold the financial assets and collect its contractual cash flows; and the contractual terms of the financial assets give rise to cash flows that are solely payments of principal and interest on the principal amount outstanding. After initial recognition, these are measured at amortised cost using the effective interest method. Discounting is omitted where the effect of discounting is immaterial. The Group’s cash and cash equivalents, trade and most other receivables fall into this category of financial instruments. Financial assets at fair value through other comprehensive income The Group measures debt instruments at fair value through OCI if both of the following conditions are met: • the contractual terms of the financial asset give rise on specified dates to cash flows that are solely payments of principal and interest on the principal amount outstanding; and the financial asset is held within a business model with the objective of both holding to collect contractual cash flows and selling the financial asset. • 32         EUROPEAN METALS HOLDINGS LIMITED ARBN 154 618 989 ANNUAL FINANCIAL REPORT 30 JUNE 2021 NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS FOR THE YEAR ENDED 30 JUNE 2021 NOTE 1: STATEMENT OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (CONTINUED) (j) Financial Instruments (continued) For debt instruments at fair value through OCI, interest income, foreign exchange revaluation and impairment losses or reversals are recognised in the statement of profit or loss and computed in the same manner as for financial assets measured at amortised cost. The remaining fair value changes are recognised in OCI. Upon initial recognition, the Group can elect to classify irrevocably its equity investments as equity instruments designated at fair value through OCI when they meet the definition of equity under AASB 132 Financial Instruments: Presentation and are not held for trading. Financial assets at fair value through profit or loss (FVPL) Financial assets at fair value through profit or loss include financial assets held for trading, financial assets designated upon initial recognition at fair value through profit or loss or financial assets mandatorily required to be measured at fair value. Financial assets are classified as held for trading if they are acquired for the purpose of selling or repurchasing in the near term. Financial liabilities Financial liabilities are classified, at initial recognition, as financial liabilities at fair value through profit or loss, loans and borrowings, payables or as derivatives designated as hedging instruments in an effective hedge, as appropriate. Financial liabilities are initially measured at fair value, and, where applicable, adjusted for transaction costs unless the Group designated a financial liability at fair value through profit or loss. Subsequently, financial liabilities are measured at amortised cost using the effective interest method except for derivatives and financial liabilities designated at FVPL, which are carried subsequently at fair value with gains or losses recognised in profit or loss. All interest-related charges and, if applicable, gains and losses arising on changes in fair value are recognised in profit or loss. (k) (l) Trade and other payables Trade payables and other payables are carried at amortised cost and represent liabilities for goods and services provided to the Group prior to the end of the financial period that are unpaid and arise when the Group becomes obliged to make future payments in respect of the purchase of these goods and services. Trade and other payables are presented as current liabilities unless payment is not due within 12 months. Earnings Per CDI Basic earnings per CDI Basic earnings per CDI is determined by dividing the profit or loss attributable to ordinary shareholders of the Company, by the weighted average number of CDIs outstanding during the period, adjusted for bonus elements in CDIs issued during the period. Diluted earnings per CDI Diluted earnings per CDI adjusts the figure used in the determination of basic earnings per CDI to take into account the after income tax effect of interest and other financial costs associated with dilutive potential CDIs and the weighted average number of CDIs assumed to have been issued for no consideration in relation to dilutive potential CDIs, which comprise convertible notes and CDI options granted. 33     EUROPEAN METALS HOLDINGS LIMITED ARBN 154 618 989 ANNUAL FINANCIAL REPORT 30 JUNE 2021 NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS FOR THE YEAR ENDED 30 JUNE 2021 NOTE 1: STATEMENT OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (CONTINUED) (m) Borrowing Costs Borrowing costs directly attributable to the acquisition, construction or production of assets that necessarily take a substantial period of time to prepare for their intended use or sale, are added to the cost of those assets, until such time as the assets are substantially ready for their intended use or sale. (n) (o) (p) All other borrowing costs are recognised in as expenses in the period in which they are incurred. Provisions A provision is recognised if, as a result of a past event, the Group has a present legal or constructive obligation that can be estimated reliably, and it is probable that an outflow of economic benefits will be required to settle the obligation. Provisions are determined by discounting the expected future cash flows at a pre-tax rate that reflects current market assessments of the time value of money and, when appropriate, the risks specific to the liability. Segment reporting An operating segment is a component of the Group that engages in business activities from which it may earn revenues and incur expenses, including revenues and expenses that relate to transactions with any of the Group’s other components. Operating segments’ results are reviewed by the Group’s Executive Chairman to make decisions about resources to be allocated to the segment and assess its performance, and for which discrete financial information is available. Principles of Consolidation The consolidated financial statements incorporate all of the assets, liabilities and results of the parent European Metals Holdings Limited and all of the subsidiaries. Subsidiaries are entities the parent controls. The parent controls an entity when it is exposed to, or has rights to, variable returns from its involvement with the entity and has the ability to affect those returns through its power over the entity. A list of the subsidiaries is provided in Note 22. The assets, liabilities and results of all subsidiaries are fully consolidated into the financial statements of the Group from the date on which control is obtained by the Group. The consolidation of a subsidiary is discontinued from the date that control ceases. Intercompany transactions, balances and unrealised gains or losses on transactions between Group entities are fully eliminated on consolidation. Accounting policies of subsidiaries have been changed and adjustments made where necessary to ensure uniformity of the accounting policies adopted by the Group. Equity interests in a subsidiary not attributable, directly or indirectly, to the Group are presented as “non- controlling interests". The Group initially recognises non-controlling interests that are present ownership interests in subsidiaries and are entitled to a proportionate share of the subsidiary's net assets on liquidation at either fair value or at the non-controlling interests' proportionate share of the subsidiary's net assets. Subsequent to initial recognition, non-controlling interests are attributed their share of profit or loss and each component of other comprehensive income. Non-controlling interests are shown separately within the equity section of the statement of financial position and statement of comprehensive income. 34     EUROPEAN METALS HOLDINGS LIMITED ARBN 154 618 989 ANNUAL FINANCIAL REPORT 30 JUNE 2021 NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS FOR THE YEAR ENDED 30 JUNE 2021 NOTE 1: STATEMENT OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (CONTINUED) (q) CDI based payments The grant date fair value of CDI-based payment awards granted to employees is recognised as an employee expense, with a corresponding increase in equity, over the period that the employees unconditionally become entitled to the awards. The amount recognised as an expense is adjusted to reflect the number of awards for which the related service and non-market vesting conditions are expected to be met, such that the amount ultimately recognised as an expense is based on the number of awards that do not meet the related service and non-market performance conditions at the vesting date. For CDI- based payment awards with non-vesting conditions, the grant date fair value of the CDI-based payment is measured to reflect such conditions and there is no true-up for differences between expected and actual outcomes. Loan CDIs are treated similar to options and value is an estimate calculated using an appropriate mathematical formula based on Black-Scholes option pricing model. The choice of models and the resultant Loan CDI value require assumptions to be made in relation to the likelihood and timing of the vesting of the Loan CDIs and the value and volatility of the price of the underlying shares. (r) Foreign Currency Transactions and Balances Functional and presentation currency The functional currency of each of the Group’s entities is measured using the currency of the primary economic environment in which that entity operates. The consolidated financial statements are presented in Australian dollars which is the parent entity’s functional and presentation currency. Transaction and balances Foreign currency transactions are translated into functional currency using the exchange rates prevailing at the date of the transaction. Foreign currency monetary items are translated at the year-end exchange rate. Non-monetary items measured at historical cost continue to be carried at the exchange rate at the date of the transaction. Non-monetary items measured at fair value are reported at the exchange rate at the date when fair values were determined. Exchange differences arising on the translation of monetary items are recognised in Profit or Loss, except where deferred in equity as a qualifying cash flow or net investment hedge. Exchange differences arising on the translation of non-monetary items are recognised directly in equity to the extent that the gain or loss is directly recognised in other comprehensive income; otherwise the exchange difference is recognised in Profit or Loss. Group companies The financial results and position of foreign operations whose functional currency is different from the Group’s presentation currency are translated as follows: • • • • Assets and liabilities are translated at year end exchange rates prevailing at the end of the reporting period; Income and expenses are translated at average exchange rates for the period; and Retained earnings are translated at the exchange rates prevailing at the date of the transaction. in the other Exchange differences arising on translation of foreign operations recognised comprehensive income and included in the foreign currency translation reserve in the Statement of Financial Position. These differences are reclassified into Profit or Loss in the period in which the operation is disposed. (s) Issued capital CDIs are classified as equity. Incremental costs directly attributable to the issue of new CDIs or options are shown in equity as a deduction, net of tax, from the proceeds. Incremental costs directly attributable to the issue of new CDIs or options for the acquisition of a new business are not included in the cost of acquisition as part of the purchase consideration. 35     EUROPEAN METALS HOLDINGS LIMITED ARBN 154 618 989 ANNUAL FINANCIAL REPORT 30 JUNE 2021 NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS FOR THE YEAR ENDED 30 JUNE 2021 NOTE 1: STATEMENT OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (CONTINUED) (t) Investments in associates Associates are entities over which the consolidated entity has significant influence but not control or joint control. Investments in associates are accounted for using the equity method. Under the equity method, the share of the profits or losses of the associate is recognised in profit or loss and the share of the movements in equity is recognised in other comprehensive income. Investments in associates are carried in the statement of financial position at cost plus post-acquisition changes in the consolidated entity's share of net assets of the associate. Goodwill relating to the associate is included in the carrying amount of the investment and is neither amortised nor individually tested for impairment. Dividends received or receivable from associates reduce the carrying amount of the investment. When the consolidated entity's share of losses in an associate equals or exceeds its interest in the associate, including any unsecured long-term receivables, the consolidated entity does not recognise further losses, unless it has incurred obligations or made payments on behalf of the associate. The consolidated entity discontinues the use of the equity method upon the loss of significant influence over the associate and recognises any retained investment at its fair value. Any difference between the associate's carrying amount, fair value of the retained investment and proceeds from disposal is recognised in profit or loss. (u) Leases At inception of a contract, the Group assesses if the contract contains a lease or is a lease. If there is a lease present, a right-of-use asset and a corresponding lease liability are recognised by the Group where the Group is a lessee. However, all contracts that are classified as short-term leases (i.e. a lease with a remaining lease term of 12 months or less) and leases of low-value assets are recognised as an operating expense on a straight-line basis over the term of the lease. Initially the lease liability is measured at the present value of the lease payments still to be paid at the commencement date. The lease payments are discounted at the interest rate implicit in the lease. If this rate cannot be readily determined, the Group uses the incremental borrowing rate. Lease payments included in the measurement of the lease liability are as follows: • • variable lease payments that depend on an index or rate, initially measured using the index or rate at fixed lease payments less any lease incentives; the commencement date; the amount expected to be payable by the lessee under residual value guarantees; • the exercise price of purchase options, if the lessee is reasonably certain to exercise the options; • • lease payments under extension options, if the lessee is reasonably certain to exercise the options; and • payments of penalties for terminating the lease, if the lease term reflects the exercise of an option to terminate the lease. The right-of-use assets comprise the initial measurement of the corresponding lease liability, any lease payments made at or before the commencement date and any initial direct costs. The subsequent measurement of the right-of-use assets is at cost less accumulated depreciation and impairment losses. Right-of-use assets are depreciated over the lease term or useful life of the underlying asset, whichever is the shortest. Where a lease transfers ownership of the underlying asset or the cost of the right-of-use asset reflects that the Group anticipates to exercise a purchase option, the specific asset is depreciated over the useful life of the underlying asset. 36       EUROPEAN METALS HOLDINGS LIMITED ARBN 154 618 989 ANNUAL FINANCIAL REPORT 30 JUNE 2021 NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS FOR THE YEAR ENDED 30 JUNE 2021 NOTE 2: DETERMINATION OF FAIR VALUES A number of the Group’s accounting policies and disclosures require the determination of fair value, for both financial and non-financial assets and liabilities. Fair values have been determined for measurement and / or disclosure purposes based on the following methods. When applicable, further information about the assumptions made in determining fair values is disclosed in the notes specific to that asset or liability. CDI-based payment transactions The fair value of the employee CDI options is measured using the Black-Scholes formula. Measurement inputs include CDI price on measurement date, exercise price of the instrument, expected volatility (based on weighted average historic volatility adjusted for changes expected due to publicly available information), weighted average expected life of the instruments (based on historical experience and general option holder behaviour), expected dividends, and the risk-free interest rate (based on government bonds). Service and non-market performance conditions attached to the transactions are not taken into account in determining the fair value. The fair value of consultant CDI options and warrants is measured at the fee of the services received, except for when the fair value of the services cannot be estimated reliably, the fair value is measured using the Black-Scholes formula. The fair value of performance rights granted to Directors is measured using the share price at grant date. Service and non-market performance conditions attached to the transactions are not taken into account in determining the fair value. 37     EUROPEAN METALS HOLDINGS LIMITED ARBN 154 618 989 ANNUAL FINANCIAL REPORT 30 JUNE 2021 NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS FOR THE YEAR ENDED 30 JUNE 2021 NOTE 3: INCOME TAX (a) Income tax expense Current tax Deferred tax Deferred income tax expense included in income tax expense comprises: (Increase) in deferred tax assets Increase in deferred tax liabilities* 30 June 2021 $ 30 June 2020 $ - - - - - - - - - - - - * Any capital gain on disposal of shares in Geomet held by EMH UK is tax-exempt under the current UK legislation (Schedule 7AC of the Taxation of Chargeable Gains Act 1992).

The Group has identified its operating segments based on the internal reports that are provided to the Board of Directors. According to AASB 8 Operating Segments, two or more operating segments may be aggregated into a single operating segment if the segments have similar economic characteristics, and the segments are similar in each of the following respects: • • • • • The nature of the products and services; The nature of the production processes; The type or class of customer for their products and services; The methods used to distribute their products or provide their services; and If applicable, the nature of the regulatory environment, for example; banking, insurance and public utilities. Effective 28 April 2020, the Group has a 49% interest in Geomet s.r.o. which is accounted for in accordance with AASB 128 Investment in Associates and Joint Venture. Therefore, the Group has only one operating segment based on geographical location.

Consequently, the financial information for the sole operating segment is identical to the information presented in these financial reports.”  52     EUROPEAN METALS HOLDINGS LIMITED ARBN 154 618 989 ANNUAL FINANCIAL REPORT 30 JUNE 2021 NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS FOR THE YEAR ENDED 30 JUNE 2021 NOTE 20: DECONSOLIDATION OF GEOMET S.R.O On 28 April 2020, the Company announced that the investment of EUR29.1 million by CEZ a.s. (“CEZ”) for a 51% equity interest in Geomet, the Company’s Czech subsidiary and holder of the Cinovec licenses, had been completed. The payment of EUR29.1 million, which has been received into the Geomet account, will see the Cinovec project fully funded to the decision to construct, paving the way for Cinovec to become the first European Union producer of battery grade lithium compounds from a local lithium resource. The payment of EUR 29.1 million was split into two payments - EUR 12.3m (A$20.6m) was contributed to Geomet’s registered share capital and EUR 16.8m (A$28.1m) is a monetary contribution to the equity Geomet outside of the Geomet’s registered share capital. The Company ceased to fully consolidate Geomet’s results within EMH’s consolidated accounts effective 28 April 2020. From 28 April 2020 onward, Geomet had been equity accounted (ie 49% of share of the profit or loss of the investee after the date of acquisition) for as Investment in Associate by EMH (Note 12). The Company was appointed to provide services of managing the Cinovec project development. No cash consideration was received by EMH (Holdings) Limited as a result of the EUR29.1million investment by CEZ. The 100% shareholding in Geomet s.r.o by EMH (Holdings) Limited was diluted through the issuance of shares to CEZ. This is commonly referred as “deemed disposal”. A “deemed disposal” that results in the loss of control of a subsidiary (ie Geomet s.r.o) is accounted for as a regular disposal. a.

The Group holds the following financial instruments: Financial assets Cash and cash equivalents Other receivables Other assets Total financial assets Trade and other payables Lease liability Total financial liabilities 2021 $ 2020 $ 7,880,673 29,452 127,964 58,951 17,252 - 8,038,089 76,203 397,535 924,592 97,893 - 495,428 924,592 The fair value of the Group’s financial assets and liabilities approximate their carrying value. Specific Financial Risk Exposures and Management The Group’s activities expose it to a variety of financial risks: market risk (including currency risk, interest rate risk and price risk) credit risk and liquidity risk. (i) Market risk The Board meets on a regular basis to analyse currency and interest rate exposure and to evaluate treasury management strategies in the context of the most recent economic conditions and forecasts. Interest rate risk Exposure to interest rate risk arises on financial assets and financial liabilities recognised at the end of the reporting period whereby a future change in interest rates will affect future cash flows or the fair value of fixed rate financial instruments. The Group is also exposed to earnings volatility on floating rate instruments. Interest rate risk is not material to the Group as no interest bearing debt arrangements have been entered into. Price risk Price risk relates to the risk that the fair value or future cash flows of a financial instrument will fluctuate because of changes in market prices. Foreign exchange risk Exposure to foreign exchange risk may result in the fair value or future cash flows of a financial instrument fluctuating due to movement in foreign exchange rates of currencies in which the Group holds financial instruments which are other than the AUD functional currency of the Group. With instruments being held by overseas operations, fluctuations in foreign currencies may impact on the Group’s financial results. The Group’s exposure to foreign exchange risk is monitored by the Board. The majority of the Group’s funds are held in Australian dollars, British Stirling and EUR. 55     EUROPEAN METALS HOLDINGS LIMITED ARBN 154 618 989 ANNUAL FINANCIAL REPORT 30 JUNE 2021 NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS FOR THE YEAR ENDED 30 JUNE 2021 NOTE 21: FINANCIAL RISK MANAGEMENT (CONTINUED) At 30 June 2021, the Group has financial assets and liabilities denominated in the foreign currencies detailed below: Amount in EUR 2021 Amount in GBP 522,338 23,999 Amount in AUD Amount in EUR 2020 Amount in GBP Amount in AUD Cash and cash equivalents in EMHL Trade and other payables in EMHL Intercompany payables to EMHL by subsidiaries 5% effect in foreign exchange rates 24,106 - - - 10,927,193 - - 7,846 15,436 - - - - - - 10,919,537 522,338 48,105 10,927,193 7,846 15,436 10,919,537 26,117 2,405 546,360 392 772 545,977 Other than intercompany balances there were no financial assets and liabilities denominated in foreign currencies for EMH UK. (ii) Credit risk Credit exposure represents the extent of credit related losses that the Group may be subject to on amounts to be received from financial assets. Credit risk arises principally from trade and other receivables. The objective of the Group is to minimise the risk of loss from credit risk. The Group trades only with creditworthy third parties. In addition, receivable balances are monitored on an ongoing basis with the result that the Group’s exposure to bad debts is insignificant. The Group’s maximum credit risk exposure is limited to the carrying value of its financial assets as indicated on the Consolidated Statement of Financial Position and notes to the financial statements. The credit quality of the financial assets was high during the year. The table below details the credit quality of the financial assets at the end of the year: Financial assets Credit Quality Cash and cash equivalents held at Westpac Bank Cash and cash equivalents held at ANZ bank Bank guarantee held at ANZ bank Other receivables Other assets High High High High High 2021 $ 1,031,382 6,849,291 47,392 29,452 80,572 2020 $ 29,954 28,997 - 17,252 - 8,038,089 76,203 56     EUROPEAN METALS HOLDINGS LIMITED ARBN 154 618 989 ANNUAL FINANCIAL REPORT 30 JUNE 2021 NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS FOR THE YEAR ENDED 30 JUNE 2021 NOTE 21: FINANCIAL RISK MANAGEMENT (CONTINUED) (iii) Liquidity risk Liquidity risk is the risk that the entity will not be able to meet its financial obligations as they fall due. The objective of the Group is to maintain sufficient liquidity to meet commitments under normal and stressed conditions. Prudent liquidity risk management implies maintaining sufficient cash and marketable securities, and the availability of funding through an adequate amount of committed credit facilities. The Group aims at maintaining flexibility in funding by maintaining adequate reserves of liquidity.

The interest rate risk arises on the rise and fall of interest rates. The Group’s exposure to interest rate risk, which is the risk that a financial instrument’s value will fluctuate as a result of changes in market interest rates and the effective weighted average interest rate for each class of financial assets and financial liabilities comprises: As at 30 June 2021 Financial assets Cash and cash equivalents Other receivables Bank guarantee Other assets Financial liabilities Trade and other payables Lease liabilities As at 30 June 2020 Financial assets Cash and cash equivalents GST and other receivables Financial liabilities Trade and other payables Weighted Average Interest Rate Floating Interest Rate Fixed Interest Non-interest bearing Total % 0.21% 0.32% $ $ $ $ 2,880,673 5,000,000 - 7,880,673 - - - - 29,452 47,392 - - 80,572 29,452 47,392 80,572 2,880,673 5,047,392 110,024 8,038,089 - - - - - - 397,535 397,535 97,893 97,893 495,428 495,428 Weighted Average Interest Rate Floating Interest Rate Fixed Interest Non-interest bearing Total % 0.00% $ 58,951 - 58,951 - - $ $ $ - - - - - - 58,951 17,252 17,252 17,252 76,203 924,592 924,592 924,592 924,592 Cash flow sensitivity analysis for variable rate instruments A change of 100 basis points in the interest rates at the reporting date would have increased or decreased the Group’s equity and profit or loss by $79,280 (2020: $590).

Basis for Opinion We conducted our audit in accordance with Australian Auditing Standards. Our responsibilities under those standards are further described in the Auditor's Responsibilities for the Audit of the Financial Report section of our report. We are independent of the Company in accordance with the auditor independence requirements of the Corporations Act 2001 and the ethical requirements of the Accounting Professional and Ethical Standards Board's APES 110: Code of Ethics for Professional Accountants (the Code) that are relevant to our audit of the financial report in Australia. We have also fulfilled our other ethical responsibilities in accordance with the Code. We believe that the audit evidence we have obtained is sufficient and appropriate to provide a basis for our opinion. Key Audit Matters We have determined the matters described below to be key audit matters to be communicated in the report. Key audit matters are those matters that, in our professional judgement, were of most significance in our audit of the financial report of the current period. These matters were addressed in the context of our audit of the financial report as a whole, and in forming our opinion thereon, and we do not provide a separate opinion on these matters. We have determined the matters described below to be the key audit matters to be communicated in our report.

Investment in associate accounted for using the equity method As disclosed in note 12 of the financial report, effective 28 April 2020, the Group ceased to fully consolidate Geomet s.r.o’s (‘Geomet’) results within the Group’s consolidated accounts due to the investment made by CEZ a.s. (“CEZ”) for a 51% equity interest in Geomet. Therefore, the investment the Group’s interest to 49% and Geomet has been equity accounted as an investment in associate in accordance with AASB 128 - Investments in Associates and Joint Ventures since that date. injection reduced In assessing warrants and performance procedures included, among others: the valuation of share options, rights, our audit i. Obtaining an understanding of the underlying transactions, reviewing agreements, minutes of the Board meetings and ASX announcements; ii. Reviewing the inputs used in the valuation models, the underlying assumptions used and discussing with management the justification for these inputs; iii. Assessing the accounting treatment and its application in accordance with AASB 2; and iv. Assessing whether the Company’s disclosures the accounting requirements of met the standards. In assessing the investment in associate accounted for using the equity method, our audit procedures included, among others: i. Performing the audit of Geomet’s accounts for the year ended 30 June 2021; ii. Reviewing the management’s workings to ensure that the investment in Geomet was correctly accounted for applying the equity method; iii. Assessing the existence of any impairment indicators regarding the investment in the associate. iv. Ensuring that the disclosures made in the in the report were complete and the requirements of financial accordance with accounting standards; and The Group accounted for 49% of the loss incurred by Geomet in the period totalling $1,263,167 and recognised an investment in associate at 30 June 2021 amounting to $17,461,027. The investment in associate accounted for using the equity method is considered to be a key audit matter as the investment represents 67% of the total assets of the Group and also due to the significant audit effort required to perform the audit of Geomet. 63 Other Information The directors are responsible for the other information. The other information comprises the information included in the Group’s annual report for the year ended 30 June 2021, but does not include the financial report and our auditor’s report thereon. Our opinion on the financial report does not cover the other information and accordingly we do not express any form of assurance opinion thereon. In connection with our audit of the financial report, our responsibility is to read the other information and, in doing so, consider whether the other information is materially inconsistent with the financial report or our knowledge obtained in the audit or otherwise appears to be materially misstated. If, based on the work we have performed, we conclude that there is a material misstatement of this other information, we are required to report that fact. We have nothing to report in this regard. Responsibilities of the Directors for the Financial Report The directors of the Company are responsible for the preparation of the financial report that gives a true and fair view in accordance with Australian Accounting Standards and the Corporations Act 2001 and for such internal control as the directors determine is necessary to enable the preparation of the financial report that gives a true and fair view and is free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error. In preparing the financial report, the directors are responsible for assessing the ability of the Group to continue as a going concern, disclosing, as applicable, matters related to going concern and using the going concern basis of accounting unless the directors either intend to liquidate the Group or to cease operations, or have no realistic alternative but to do so. Auditor's Responsibilities for the Audit of the Financial Report Our objectives are to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial report as a whole is free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error, and to issue an auditor's report that includes our opinion. Reasonable assurance is a high level of assurance, but is not a guarantee that an audit conducted in accordance with the Australian Auditing Standards will always detect a material misstatement when it exists. Misstatements can arise from fraud or error and are considered material if, individually or in the aggregate, they could reasonably be expected to influence the economic decisions of users taken on the basis of this financial report. As part of an audit in accordance with Australian Auditing Standards, we exercise professional judgement and maintain professional skepticism throughout the audit. An audit involves performing procedures to obtain audit evidence about the amounts and disclosures in the financial report. The procedures selected depend on the auditor's judgement, including the assessment of the risks of material misstatement of the financial report, whether due to fraud or error. In making those risk assessments, the auditor considers internal control relevant to the Group's preparation of the financial report that gives a true and fair view in order to design audit procedures that are appropriate in the circumstances, but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of the Group’s internal control. The risk of not detecting a material misstatement resulting from fraud is higher than for one resulting from error, as fraud may involve collusion, forgery, intentional omissions, misrepresentations, or the override of internal control. An audit also includes evaluating the appropriateness of accounting policies used and the reasonableness of accounting estimates made by the Directors, as well as evaluating the overall presentation of the financial report. 64 We conclude on the appropriateness of the Directors' use of the going concern basis of accounting and, based on the audit evidence obtained, whether a material uncertainty exists related to events or conditions that may cast significant doubt on the Group’s ability to continue as a going concern. If we conclude that a material uncertainty exists, we are required to draw attention in our auditor's report to the related disclosures in the financial report or, if such disclosures are inadequate, to modify our opinion. Our conclusions are based on the audit evidence obtained up to the date of our auditor’s report. However, future events or conditions may cause the Group to cease to continue as a going concern. We evaluate the overall presentation, structure and content of the financial report, including the disclosures, and whether the financial report represents the underlying transactions and events in a manner that achieves fair presentation. We obtain sufficient appropriate audit evidence regarding the financial information of the entities or business activities within the Group to express an opinion on the financial report. We communicate with the Directors regarding, among other matters, the planned scope and timing of the audit and significant audit findings, including any significant deficiencies in Internal control that we identify during our audit. The Auditing Standards require that we comply with relevant ethical requirements relating to audit engagements. We also provide the Directors with a statement that we have complied with relevant ethical requirements regarding independence, and to communicate with them all relationships and other matters that may reasonably be thought to bear on our independence, and where applicable, related safeguards. From the matters communicated with the Directors, we determine those matters that were of most significance in the audit of the financial report of the current period and are therefore key audit matters. We describe these matters in our auditor's report unless law or regulation precludes public disclosure about the matter or when, in extremely rare circumstances, we determine that a matter should not be communicated in our report because the adverse consequences of doing so would reasonably be expected to outweigh the public interest benefits of such communication. Report on the Remuneration Report We have audited the Remuneration Report included in pages 15 to 21 of the directors’ report for the year ended 30 June 2021. The directors of the Company are responsible for the preparation and presentation of the Remuneration Report in accordance with section 300A of the Corporations Act 2001. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on the Remuneration Report, based on our audit conducted in accordance with Australian Auditing Standards. Opinion on the Remuneration Report In our opinion, the Remuneration Report of European Metals Holdings Limited for the year ended 30 June 2021 complies with section 300A of the Corporations Act 2001.
