The submission completes the 2-stage EIA process, following lodgment of the screening-stage assessment earlier in 2025, and represents a key regulatory milestone for the Project.
The EIA supports the outcomes of the recently completed #DFS, which confirms Cinovec as a long-life, large-scale #European lithium project with a 26+ year mine life and forecast production of approx. 37,500 tonnes per annum of #battery-grade lithium #carbonate.

Following the previously detailed formal recognition of the Project, the approval of such a significant financial contribution clearly demonstrates the support for and importance of Cinovec in the future of European #electromobility.
Coming at a time of renewed positive outlook for #lithium and strong geopolitical commitment to Critical Raw Material supply chain security, the grant confirms the significant support at both Czech Government and European Union levels.”
🔊 Funding Pathway Secured to Complete Cinovec DFS; A$3m Placement and Non-Dilutive Refinancing
Geomet has issued a € 11.0 million cash call to fund completion of the DFS. Under the project ownership structure, EMH's share is € 5.39 million.
