[Ferro-Alloys.com]  Euro Manganese Reports Significant Permitting Progress

Key permitting secured for Chvaletice Manganese Project continues to de-risk the pathway to production.

Euro Manganese Inc. is pleased to provide a progress update on the permitting process for the Chvaletice Manganese Project (the “Project”) by its wholly-owned subsidiary MANGAN Chvaletice, s.r.o. (together with Euro Manganese Inc. the “Company” or “Euro Manganese”). Taken together, the permitting milestones achieved to date significantly de-risk the Project by advancing key regulatory approvals, improving development visibility and supporting a clearer pathway toward construction and future operations.

Highlights

Construction Permit for infrastructure relocation received in May 2026

Land Planning Permit for the processing plant received in April 2026

Construction Permit for the technological bridge received in March 2026

Land Planning Permit for the railway and shunting yard submitted, with a decision expected in summer 2026

Determination of the mining lease received in January 2025

Environmental and Social Impact Assessment (“ESIA”) received in March 2024

Martina Blahova, President and CEO of Euro Manganese, commented:

“Securing these permits marks a major milestone for the Chvaletice Manganese Project and underscores the meaningful progress we continue to make across the permitting landscape. Each of these steps strengthens our position, reduces project risk, and enhances project maturity as we advance toward construction and long-term operations.

We remain fully committed to working collaboratively with local and governmental authorities and stakeholders to ensure responsible, timely development that meets all regulatory and planning requirements. The permitting achievements to date significantly de-risk the Project by advancing key approvals and providing a clear, and confident pathway to execution.

Permitting progress, together with the recently released Preliminary Economic Assessment1 creates a strong foundation as we move into 2027, when we expect to deliver an updated feasibility study. With each milestone, we are creating tangible value and bringing Europe’s high purity manganese project closer to production.”

Permitting Progress

The Company has advanced the Project’s permitting process in a systematic manner over the past two years. Following receipt of the Environmental and Social Impact Assessment (“ESIA”) in March 2024 and the Determination of the mining lease in January 2025, the Company was positioned to advance subsequent permitting stages, including key permits under the Construction Act including the Land Planning Permit for the processing plant and the Land Planning Permit for the railway and shunting yard.

The Construction Permit for infrastructure relocation was issued to the Company in May 2026 and is subject to a 15-day public consultation period, after which time the permit will become final the first week of June 2026. This permit constitutes a mandatory regulatory prerequisite for the execution of utility diversion works. It is a critical path milestone, essential to ensuring that the relocation of sub-surface infrastructure adheres to stringent safety protocols and statutory requirements set forth by utility providers.

The Land Planning Permit for the processing plant was obtained in April 2026. The regulatory authorities adopted a phased approach to the permitting process, initially prioritizing the statutory proceedings for the processing plant. Following the official issuance of the Land Planning Permit for the processing plant, subsequent proceedings commenced for the railway and the shunting yard (see below).

The Construction Permit for the technological bridge facility, establishing a strategic link between the tailings area and the processing plant, was secured in March 2026. This infrastructure will host a transport system for the conveyance of raw materials and residues. The implementation of this technological bridge effectively eliminates the operational dependency on heavy goods vehicle (HGV) transport, optimizing site logistics and reducing the project’s carbon footprint.

The Land Planning Permit for the railway and shunting yard is under consideration by the Czech authorities and is expected this summer. Once received, it will validate the project’s spatial alignment with regional zoning requirements. All necessary statutory consents from neighbouring landowners and relevant administrative bodies have been successfully secured. This infrastructure remains vital for establishing a reliable logistical backbone, facilitating the secure delivery of essential process consumables and providing a robust channel for the outbound distribution of finished product, ensuring seamless integration into the national freight network.

Next steps

The last permit required to extract manganese from the tailings at the Chvaletice Manganese Project is the Permission for Opening, Preparation and Extraction, or the “Final Mining Operations Permit (“FMOP”). The FMOP specifies applicable technical conditions and ensures safety and environmental standards are met. The Company plans to submit the documentation for the FMOP in the second half of 2026 and expects the final permit in 2027. On receipt of the FMOP, the concluding permit for the project will be the final construction permit, which is part of the front-end engineering work (“FEED”).
