Overall, the best results were obtained on the Nabba Reservation where several clusters of spodumene-bearing pegmatite boulders and boulder fields were identified during the program. Several prospective areas were also identified (i.e. Kyrola, Kaitnabba, Pisto and Kaatiala) with anomalous to locally anomalous-grade lithium. A total of 1,099 rock chip (grab) samples were collected with the results discussed in manomalous detail below.\"The inaugural exploration program was met with considerable success, having identified multiple areas with lithium mineralization,\" commented Jeremy Poirier, CEO of European Energy Metals. \"The identification of pervasive lithium mineralization, despite the presence of significant overburden or cover, is highly encouraging and warrants further exploration. This also supports our recent application for an Exploration License over the Nabba Reservation which allows for drill testing in Q2-2024.\"KyrolaThe most significant discovery during the Phase 1 program was the discovery of a 350 m long by 110 m wide Northwest-Southeast trending spodumene-bearing pegmatite boulder field on the Nabba Reservation. The extent of the boulder field is constrained only by low-lying overburden covered areas and farm fields. A total of forty-nine (49) rock chip grab samples were collected from the field and individual samples assayed from 0.003% to 3.84% Li2O . The mean assay of these samples was 0.53% Li2O . Fifteen samples assayed greater than 0.50% Li2O , eleven assayed greater than 1.00% Li2O , 4 assayed greater than 2.00% Li2O and 1 assayed greater than 3.00% Li2O . The boulders are generally angular and range in size from small hand size cobbles up to > 1.5 m in diameter. The boulders are also weakly anomalous in Cesium (Cs), Tantalum (Ta), Beryllium (Ta) and Tin (Sn). Table 1: Best results from Kyrola ProspectSample_#Li2O _PctLi_ppmCs_ppmTa_ppmBe_ppmSn_ppmD056277...
