High Grade Drilling Results

Europa Metals, the European focused lead, zinc and silver developer, is pleased to announce initial
assay results from its ongoing diamond drilling programme being conducted by “Sondeos y
Perforaciones Industriales de Bierzo SA” (“SPI Drilling”) at the Company’s 100% owned Toral Pb,
Zn & Ag project (“Toral” or the “Toral Project”).

Highlights:
   •   Significant intersection from drillhole TOD-041 of 3.20m@15.16% ZnEq(PbAg)*, including:
          • 1.10m@32.03% ZnEq(PbAg)*
   •   Hole TOD-041 has been successful in intersecting high grade mineralisation adjacent to
       existing, previously reported, indicated resources
   •   Hole TOD-041 could link together the current indicated resource estimate to a part of the
       inferred resource at depth which demonstrates continuity.

The current drilling campaign is seeking to expand on the existing indicated resource envelope of
5.9Mt @ 7.1% ZnEq (including Pb credits) and 27 g/t Ag at depth to support future mine planning
which could be incorporated into a pre-feasibility study. Hole TOD-041 intersected high-grade
mineralisation over a significant width thereby providing support and confidence to the current
resource model and the continuity of the deposit at depth.

Drilling data is being utilised to progress the Company’s innovation partnership with the University
of Salamanca facilitated by the grant of up to Euro 466,801.50 by way of a loan from Spain’s “Centre
for the Development of Industrial Technology” (CDTI) of which Euro 322,009.13 has been drawn
down to date.


Commenting today, Myles Campion, Executive Chairman and acting CEO of Europa Metals
said:
“The high-grade nature of hole TOD-041 is hugely pleasing and gives the team confidence in the
deposit’s tenor and continuity at depth. We believe that this hole in combination with hole TOD-042
will enable Europa Metals to incrementally add to the existing indicated resource portion of the
deposit, thereby giving additional scope for utilisation in further studies”.
The drilling parameters for the assay results reported for hole TOD-041 are presented in the table
below:

       HOLE_ID       EASTING        NORTHING       ELEVATION       LENGTH        COOR_SYS
       TOD-041        681864         4710064         601.504           809.3     ETRS89utm29

Hole TOD-041 was drilled with a PQ-HQ diameter, with half of the core being sent for independent
analysis at ALS Laboratories. The assay results received are set out in the table below:

* - ZnEq (PbAg)% is the calculated Zn equivalent incorporating lead and silver credits; (ZnEq (PbAg)% = Zn +
Pb*0.926 + Ag*0.019). Zn equivalent calculations were based on 3-year trailing average price statistics obtained from
the London Metal Exchange and London Bullion Market Association giving an average Zn price of US$2,680/t, Pb
price of US$2,100/t and Ag price of US$16.2/oz.

The high grade nature of the intersection is consistent with the current resource model and provides
further support for extending the known estimated indicated resource at that depth.

Drilling operations are ongoing, in line with the objective set out above, and further assay results will
be announced once processed and received. Hole TOD-042 is currently being drilled, with a targeted
depth of approximately 900m.

Competent Person’s Statement
