Extracts from the Company's unaudited Half-Year Financial Report are set out below:

Review and results of operations

Europa Metals is a mineral exploration company and currently classified as an 'AIM Rule 15 cash shell'.

Operating Results

For the half-year period ended 31 December 2024, the Group recorded a net profit after tax of $4,834,803 (31
December 2023: net loss of $248,761).

Toral Lead-Zinc-Silver Project, Spain ("Toral" or the "Toral Project")

The Toral Project is situated in northwest Spain in a world class mining jurisdiction which provides the
opportunity to create new mines within well-established environmental and mining frameworks and with access
to first class power and transport infrastructure.

On 13 November 2024, the Company announced that it had completed its previously announced disposal of
100% of the issued and outstanding shares of Europa Metals Iberia S.L. ("EMI"), the Spanish subsidiary holding
the Toral Zn-Pb-Ag Project (the "Toral Project") in the Leon Province, Northern Spain to Denarius Metals Corp.
(Cboe CA: DMET) (OTCQX: DNRSF) ("Denarius Metals").

In accordance with the agreement with Denarius Metals, as announced on 17 September 2024, Europa was
issued 7,000,000 common shares in Denarius Metals, which are subject to a hold period ending on March 13,
2025. The former Option and Loan Agreements dated 22 November 2022 between Europa and the Denarius
Metals were terminated on closing of the transaction.

As advised following completion of the disposal, the Company is now classified as an 'AIM Rule 15 cash shell'.
In accordance with AIM Rule 15, the Company has six months to complete an acquisition or acquisitions that
constitute a reverse takeover under AIM Rule 14. If the Company does not complete such a transaction within
this period, trading in its AIM securities will be suspended.

Corporate

Viridian Metals Limited

On 17 September 2024, the Company announced the signing of a conditional term sheet regarding the proposed
acquisition of Viridian Metals Ireland Limited, ("Viridian Metals"), and its 100% owned Tynagh brownfield
Pb/Zn/Cu/Ag project in the Republic of Ireland. Subsequent to the end of the reporting period, the Company
announced that Europa had decided not to extend the exclusivity period under the term sheet.

The Company will continue to pursue other opportunities.

Shareholder Meetings

On 25 October 2024, the Company held a General Meeting for Shareholders to consider the proposed disposal
of the Company's 100% interest in EMI to Denarius Metals. Shareholders voted overwhelmingly in favour of the
transaction.

On 29 November 2024, the Company held its Annual General Meeting, whereby all resolutions were duly
approved by Shareholders by way of a poll.

Events subsequent to the reporting date

On 17 February 2025, the Company announced that it had decided not to proceed with the proposed
acquisition of Viridian Metals, and accordingly, its shares resumed trading on the AIM on that day.

No other matters or circumstances have arisen since the reporting date that may significantly affect the
operations of the Company, the results of those operations, or the Company's state of affairs in future financial
years.
