Eurobattery Minerals takes another important step with the Hautalampi project by submitting the requested supplementary documentation for the EPA

Eurobattery Minerals has submitted the requested supplementary documentation for the environmental permit application of the Hautalampi project, marking another key milestone. This proactive step not only advances the permitting process, but also strengthens the project’s alignment with the strategic requirements of the EU Critical Raw Materials Act – reinforcing Hautalampi’s role as a future-proof, responsible source of critical battery metals.

This follows a request issued by the Regional State Administrative Agency (AVI) for clarifications and additional information related to the EPA, specifically concerning requirements under Finland’s Environmental Protection Act and Water Act. The response package addresses the authority’s questions and legal considerations regarding the permitting framework for the project.

“Our team, together with expert consultants from Envineer Oy, has worked intensively to finalise the supplementary material. The updated water modelling and related documentation are crucial for the continued review process and reflect our commitment to science-based and responsible project development,” said Ilari Kinnunen, Managing Director of FinnCobalt.

The updated submission includes among other things:

• Detailed groundwater and surface water modelling,
• Leaching potential assessments,
• An extractive waste management plan, and
• Natura 2000 assessment.

"This is a decisive milestone in the permitting process for our flagship Hautalampi project," said Roberto García Martínez, CEO of Eurobattery Minerals. "It demonstrates real progress and adds further momentum to the project as we move towards production. I want to acknowledge our Finnish team and consultants for delivering a high-quality submission that reflects our environmental commitment and operational excellence. With Europe in urgent need of responsible raw materials, Hautalampi stands out as a strategically vital asset—one that positions us to generate significant long-term value for our shareholders."

Eurobattery Minerals and FinnCobalt will continue to follow the authority’s review process closely and remain available to provide any further clarifications if needed. We are hopeful that this submission will allow the permitting process to advance toward the next phase.
