Viridian Metals Transaction Update and Restoration of Trading on AIM

Europa Metals, ("Europa" or the "Company"), provides an update on the potential transaction it
announced with Viridian Metals Ireland Limited, ("Viridian"), and its 100 % owned Tynagh brownfield
Pb/Zn/Cu/Ag project in the Republic of Ireland.

As announced on 17 September 2024, the Company entered into a conditional Term Sheet
regarding the acquisition of Viridian which was binding as to a mutual 150 day period of exclusivity.
This period of exclusivity has now expired and Europa has decided not to extend exclusivity over
Tynagh via Viridian. The brownfield project had significant positives which have warranted our work
to date to source the funding for near term feasibility work, which would then evolve to permitting
and development. Unfortunately, the Company has been unsuccessful in this endeavour.
Accordingly, the Company will now pursue other opportunities.

In accordance with the AIM Rules, trading in the Company's shares on AIM will be resumed with
effect from 7.30am on 17 February 2025. For the avoidance of doubt, the Company's shares were
not previously suspended on the JSE Limited ("JSE") and continue to trade on the JSE. Shareholders
on the JSE are no longer required to exercise caution when dealing in the Company's shares.

Pursuant to AIM Rule 15, the Company has six months from its disposal of the Toral Project, as
announced on 13 November 2024, to make an acquisition or acquisitions which constitutes a reverse
takeover under AIM Rule 14.

Commenting today Myles Campion Executive Chairman and acting CEO said:

"Tynagh had all the right qualities to be an operating mine in the near term and could be producing
significant cashflow for its size and relatively modest expected CAPEX, but with current market
conditions, finding the near term funding to realise that goal has proved very difficult in Europe.
Europa will now renew its search for projects that can be brought into the Company and add value
for all shareholders"
