European Metals Holdings: EU Strategic Designation Update

In this episode, we sit down again with Keith Coghlan, Executive Chairman of European Metals Holdings, to discuss the latest strategic developments surrounding the Cinovec lithium project in the Czech Republic. Recently designated as a strategic project by both the Czech government and the European Commission, Cinovec is gaining significant momentum. Keith shares insights into what these classifications mean, including streamlined permitting, substantial financial backing, and increased investor confidence. We also dive into the critical role of EMH’s partner ČEZ, the company's path toward securing funding from the EU’s €2 billion critical minerals fund, and how shifting geopolitical dynamics are shaping the future of lithium supply in Europe.
