How undervalued European Energy Metals Corp. (TSXV: FIN); (USOTC: EUEMF) could help investors ride the Electric Vehicle megatrend to potential windfall profits
All over the globe, demand is soaring for new electric vehicles.
Worldwide, EV demand increased a staggering 68% year-over-year from 2021 to 2022 according to the Wall Street Journal.[i] [ii]
But that growth is just the tip of the iceberg.
Consumer demand for EVs is projected to climb even higher in the months and years ahead. And now governments are fueling even further EV growth by passing legislation outlawing gas- and diesel-powered cars and trucks in the years ahead.
This historic demand for EVs – backed by legislation in many parts of the world – has triggered a long-term “mega bull” market for the lithium that’s needed for the batteries that will power all of these EVs.
And that long-term lithium bull market right now offers investors a remarkably attractive profit opportunity.
But the supply-demand story for lithium is so powerful, the super cycle in lithium appears to have resumed…and the next leg of this “mega bull” market could offer even greater potential than the initial rally.
With the massive amount of lithium that’s needed to keep up with the electric vehicle market alone – not to mention continued strong demand for lithium to power laptops, tablets and smartphones – a historic opportunity now exists in the lithium exploration market.
And as you might expect, investors have seen and heard about a number of opportunities for potential new lithium production in North America.
But one under-the-radar company – European Energy Metals Corp. (TSXV: FIN); (USOTC: EUEMF) – right now offers investors a unique way to play soaring global demand for lithium for the highest potential upside.
How is European Energy Metals Corp. unique in the lithium exploration space?
Simple:
The company is one of a select few that is focused on the exploration and development of lithium projects in Finland…positioning it perfectly to help supply the gigafactories being built in Europe to help Europeans successfully transition to electric vehicles.
Investment Summary:
When examining the potential for European Energy Metals Corp. (TSXV: FIN); (USOTC: EUEMF), one thing quickly becomes apparent:
This is not another North American lithium play.
Instead, this company offers something most North American investors haven’t been exposed to: an opportunity to take advantage of Europe’s soaring lithium demand and its aggressive targets for transitioning to electric vehicles.
Europe desperately needs to bring domestic supplies of lithium online as quickly as possible in order to meet their targets, and now has over 34 gigafactories either built or operational within the continent.
This means that any exploration company that shows potential within Europe could have tremendous upside. This has already been seen with Sibanye Stillwater (NYSE: SBSW), a US $5 billion market cap company – located just 11 miles away from European Energy Metals’ projects – that is now building a €588M mine that will be operational in 2025.
With a potential interest in up to 5 projects – all well-located in Finland just 11 miles away from a large project currently in construction – European Energy Metals Corp. appears to be a company in the right place at the right time.
As the company moves forward with its exploration program in the weeks and months ahead, positive news could be a catalyst for rapid growth, presenting early investors with a unique high-upside opportunity in the lithium exploration space.
5 Key Reasons Why You Should Strongly Consider the Upside Potential for European Energy Metals Corp. (TSXV: FIN); (USOTC: EUEMF) Today
As I just mentioned, EV demand continues to soar…and it’s pushing the lithium market forward with great speed. EV penetration is projected to reach 15% in 2025 and 35% by 2030.
But let’s think about the growth in EV demand in terms of raw numbers.
“Global electric vehicle numbers set to hit 145 million by end of the decade, IEA says.”
Just a little more than a year ago – at the end of 2021 – there were only 16.5 million electric cars and trucks on the road.
But the IEA now projects that number will climb to 145 million by 2030.
That’s more than 128 million new EVs on the road in a span of just nine years.
And here’s the thing:
In order for each of those new EVs to hit the road…they’re going to need batteries. And that means lithium.
Lots and lots of lithium.
And that EV demand is on top of increasing applications for lithium from energy storage, consumer devices – like smartphones, laptops and tablets – as well as Internet of Things (IoT) infrastructure.
But as things currently stand…the lithium supply-demand story is very much out of balance.
According to S&P Global Market Intelligence, “Even if the 53 lithium-producing projects currently in the…pipeline are developed aggressively, the market will reach a deficit of 605,000 tonnes of lithium carbonate equivalent, or LCE, by 2030.”i
Simply put…there isn’t enough lithium in the development pipeline to match the soaring growth in demand.
And while this supply-demand imbalance threatens to delay the transition to electric vehicles, it also provides consistent pressure for higher lithium prices.
In that type of environment, any exploration company that shows it has strong potential for bringing new sources of lithium into production could see explosive upside potential.
That includes companies like European Energy Metals Corp. (TSXV: FIN); (USOTC: EUEMF), as positive news about the company’s lithium projects could quickly generate strong interest from Wall Street as well as major producing companies.
Europe has established some of the world’s most aggressive goals for transitioning to electric vehicles, including a ban on sales of new gas- and diesel-powered cars by 2035.
The aggressive targets established by governments within Europe mean that demand for lithium – according to the Financial Times – “is set to surge fivefold by 2030 to 550,000 tonnes per year – more than double the 200,000 tonnes the region will be able to produce.”v
And the transition to electric vehicles has also sparked a massive wave of construction for new battery gigafactories within the continent.
- Finnish Minerals Group and Beijing Easpring Material Technology have been investigating and negotiating the possibility to establish a CAM plant in Kotka, Finland with the initial capacity of 50,000 t/a.
- Freyr Battery intends to build Finland’s first Gigawatt-hour-scale battery cell production facility and has already initiated an Environmental Impact Assessment (EIA) for the project.
- And Norway’s first lithium-ion (Li-ion) battery factory has taken a key stride toward construction with a NKr142m ($16.4) grant being given to developer Freyr by the Nordic country’s ministry of climate and environment.
Clearly, Europe is looking to increase domestic production of lithium in the years ahead as a way of reducing its dependence on Chinese lithium supplies…and to help meet the very goals established by its own governments for phasing out gas-powered vehicles.
To that end, governing bodies in Europe and Finland are legislating environmentally friendly and energy independent laws and policies as a way of helping encourage exploration and development.
Europe has no plans to back away from its commitment to the environment – and to the conversion to electric vehicles. In fact over 34 gigafactories are currently being built within the European area. All needing a domestic supply.
That provides an outstanding environment for new exploration opportunities – including for companies like European Energy Metals Corp. (TSXV: FIN); (USOTC: EUEMF).
The goals are aggressive – and governments are supporting and incentivizing development as much as possible.
Positive news regarding the potential for new domestic production within Europe from companies like European Energy Metals Corp. (TSXV: FIN); (USOTC: EUEMF) could generate considerable attention in the short- and long-term.
European Energy Metals Corp. (TSXV: FIN); (USOTC: EUEMF) is currently focused on the Lithium-Cesium-Tantalum Finnish Pegmatite Project in central Finland.
The Finland Pegmatite Project consists of four exploration concessions in central Finland and one exploration concession in southern Finland.
The company has an option to acquire up to an 80% interest in five projects within the Finnish Pegmatite fields, four of which are located next to the Keliber project, which belongs to US $5 billion market cap Sibanye Stillwater (NYSE: SBSW).
Sibanye Stillwater has commenced construction on the €588M Keliber project and refinery, representing the development of a lithium supply chain in Finland.
The Keliber project is expected to commence production in H2/2025 and produce 15,000 tonnes of battery-grade lithium hydroxide (LiOH) annually at a cash cost of €6,750 per tonne over a 16-year life.
Keliber has already signed several off-take agreements with global customers for its battery-grade lithium hydroxide, including BASF, LG Energy, and Sichuan Yahua Industrial Group, indicating a strong demand for its product.
European Energy Corp.’s projects are located approximately within 11 miles of Keliber and has similar geology European Energy stands to benefit from potential downstream capacity and infrastructure that is currently being developed.
On June 6, 2023 the company announced the engagement of Resourceful Geoscience Solutions Inc. to design and implement the company’s 2023 exploration program.
European Energy Metals’ phase one exploration programs will focus on evaluating over 2,300 square kilometers of prospective concessions with the focus of identifying high priority targets for phase 2 drilling targeted for late 2023 or early 2024 as the company continues to work toward developing its Finland Pegmatite Project portfolio into one of Europe’s major sources of lithium.
With US $5 billion market cap Sibanye Stillwater working a property just 11 miles away from European Energy Metals Corp. (TSXV: FIN); (USOTC: EUEMF), the region appears to be primed for development.
Sibanye Stillwater is investing over €600 million in the project…and its supply has already been sold.
Clearly, there is enormous demand for domestic production of lithium within Europe – and that’s great news for European Energy Metals Corp. And the existence of a larger company virtually next door could bode well for a potential acquisition should European Energy Metals Corp.’s exploration programs prove successful.
But in terms of companies that could be considered peers of European Energy Metals Corp. it looks as though the company has room for significant potential growth in valuation.
Companies like Patriot Battery Metals Inc. (TSXV: PMET), with a market cap of C$1.6 billion, and Li-FT Power Ltd. (CNSX: LIFT), with a market cap of C$376 million, show the type of potential that exists for a junior lithium exploration company in today’s market environment.
With European Energy Metals Corp. (TSXV: FIN); (USOTC: EUEMF) currently at a market cap of just C$13 million, investors have an opportunity to get in on the ground floor of what could become one of Europe’s trailblazing lithium exploration companies.
One of the most important considerations for any potential exploration investment is the strength and experience of the company’s management team.
European Energy Metals Corp. is led by CEO Jeremy Poirier, who brings nearly two decades of capital markets experience in the natural resource and technology sectors. He has served in various senior officer and corporate development roles at exploration mining companies.
From September 2016 through December 2019, Mr. Poirier was CEO of Bearing Lithium Corp. and was instrumental in the Company’s acquisition of Li3 Energy. In December 2022, Bearing Lithium was sold to Lithium Power International Ltd. (ASX: LPI) for an estimated $32 million.
