EXPLORATION AND DEVELOPMENT ACTIVITIES
Wolfsberg Lithium Project
COVID-19
Q3/2020 continued to present a number of challenges for
commodity markets due to the impact of the coronavirus pandemic.
The situation is still highly uncertain with governments, companies
and individuals required to follow recommendations to help in
controlling the rate of infection at a global scale. Although
circumstances have changed during the quarter with some easing of
restrictions, travel restrictions are impacting the Company
directly. The easing of some restrictions by the relevant
government bodies has allowed the Company to recommence operational
activities at its Wolfsberg Lithium project in Q3/2020.
Drilling
In Q3/2020, the Company was issued the decree to drill the deep
holes with more than 300m of depth covering phase 2 of the drilling
program in Zone 1. The Company has commenced the tender process for
the drilling contractor and is in the process of engaging relevant
consultants to supervise the progress of these exploration
activities. As some of these contractors are not based in Austria,
the Company anticipates some delays may occur due to differing
regulations and restrictions during the COVID-19 pandemic
period.
Definitive Feasibility Study (DFS)
With the receipt of the decree in Q3/2020 for the deep hole
drilling program in Zone 1, the Company is in a position to
recommence the Phase 2 resource drilling program in Zone 1 as an
essential part of the DFS.
The Company reported in Q4/2019 and Q1/2020 that
Dorfner/Anzaplan completed the metallurgical test work to assess
and optimize process lines, flowsheets and layouts. The results and
scope of work have been reviewed and the remaining lock cycle tests
were pending during Q2/2020 to assess sufficiently the process to
produce reliable results for the Lithium Hydroxide product. As
advised in the Company's Q2/2020 report, Dorfner/Anzaplan were
advised to recommence the lock cycle tests In Q3/2020. The Company
has been advised by Dorfner/Anzaplan that the final results for
these tests can be expected in Q1/2021. This metallurgic test work
will also take place at the pilot plant for the Wolfsberg Lithium
Project at Dorfner/Anzaplan's testing facility in Hirschau,
Germany. At the completion and review of this work the detailed
technical report will be published.
In Q3/2020, DRA Global were directed to recommence activities
that includes supply of the independent assessment of the
metallurgical work at the Dorfner/Anzaplan testing facility.
Hydrogeology
The Company continues with its hydrogeology monitoring
program.
All hydrogeological data continues to be stored and secured into
the Company's database.
The preparation work by SRK, and the geological consultant, GEO
Unterweissacher, continues to ensure in-hole hydrogeological test
work has been completed appropriately and can continue in the
future.
Data from the above activities is fed into a water measuring
database from which an annual report is produced.
Environmental
No environmental work has been carried out in Q3/2020.
Monitoring of water flows and quality from the mine is
continuous.
Product Marketing
The strategy for the Company remains unchanged and focuses on
the supply of lithium hydroxide to the nascent lithium battery
plants of Europe. The Company is in discussion with a number of
industry players regarding future off-take contracts and good
progress has already been made in the advanced discussions with
potential off-take partners.
Horizon 2020
In Q2/2020, the Company's 100% owned subsidiary ECM Lithium AT
GmbH (ECM) commenced participation in the European Union funded
Horizon 2020 - GREENPEG programme.
It is expected that a fully European Union funded geophysical
survey program to support the database for the DFS will commence in
Q4/2020 as part of the GREENPEG programme.
The Company continued to work proactively in the already
approved and funded Horizon 2020 LithRef programme.
Continued participation shows the Company's abilities and
eligibility to contribute with EU-level support to the sustainable
supply of battery grade lithium, sourced and produced in
Europe.
Australia
E47/4144
On 23 March 2019 tenement E47/1462-I, held by MCC Australia
Sanjin Mining Pty Ltd, expired and was not renewed in the required
time. At 8:30am on 25 March 2019 the Company applied for
exploration licence E47/4144 under section 58 of the Western
Australia Mining Act 1978 ( Mining Act ). At the same time the
Department of Mines, Industry Regulation and Safety ( DMIRS )
received applications for 13 other exploration licences over the
same or a similar area. Under section 105A(3) of the Mining Act
these tenements (14 in total numbered from E47/4136 to 4149
consecutively) were placed into a ballot that was drawn on 18
September 2020.
EUR tenement E47/4144 was drawn first in matters 4, 5 and 7
relating to the ballot. The Company confirmed the new tenement
blocks with DMIRS on 21 September 2020 and, when granted, the
configuration of E47/4144 will be as per the map below which
equates to approximately 130km2.

Winance Facility
On 31 July 2019, the Company entered into a Convertible
Note Agreement with Winance Investment LLC (Winance) of
which A$2.0m (2,000 convertible notes) was drawn down
on 20 September 2019 (Tranche 1). As at 30 June 2020,
there were nil convertible notes remaining from the Tranche
1 drawdown.
The face value of each convertible note is AU$1,000 and
are non-interest bearing. The notes are convertible to
a variable number of ordinary shares at the option of
the holder of the notes any time after issue. If not converted
the notes mature and are repayable twenty-four (24) months
after the issue date. The conversion price for each convertible
note is the lower of an 8% discount from the lowest VWAP
over ten (10) days prior to the conversion date, provided
that the conversion price shall not in any case be lower
than $0.055 (floor price).
Refer to ASX announcement dated 31 July 2019 and notice
of meeting dated 28 October 2019 for material terms and
conditions.
On 5 March 2020, the Company announced that it had agreed
to draw down a further A$2.0m (2,000 convertible notes)
under the Winance facility (Tranche 2). During the June
2020 quarter, the Company received Tranche 2 funding of
A$1.0m (before expenses) and subsequently 1,000 convertible
notes were released from escrow. During the quarter, the
Company has received the final Tranche 2 funding of A$1.0m
and released the remaining 1,000 convertible notes from
escrow.
Further drawdowns of A$6m (in addition to the A$3m received
and $1m received by the Company subsequent to 30 June
2020) are at the Company's election available in tranches
of A$1m each upon full conversion of the notes from the
previous drawdown, subject to a cooling off period calculated
based on the value of the tranche and average trading
volumes during the preceding 60-day period and prior approval
by EUR's shareholders.

"N/A". Otherwise, a figure for the estimated quarters
of funding available must be included in item 8.7.
* As outlined above in section 7, further drawdown on
the Winance facility is subject to full conversion of
the notes from the previous drawdown. As at 30 September
2020, there were 1,000 convertible notes remaining from
the Tranche 2 drawdown.
** Following the receipt of Tranche 2 funding, the Company
made certain creditor payments during the quarter. As
such, net cash used in operating activities of ($1,821k)
in the September 2020 quarter is not representative of
the Company's current level of net operating cash flows.
8.8 If item 8.7 is less than 2 quarters, please provide answers
to the following questions:
8.8.1 Does the entity expect that it will continue to
have the current level of net operating cash flows for
the time being and, if not, why not?
--------------------------------------------------------------------
No. Expenditure in the current quarter reported under
net cash used in operating activities is not representative
of the Company's current level of net operating cash flows
due to the payment of certain creditor payments during
the quarter.
--------------------------------------------------------------------
8.8.2 Has the entity taken any steps, or does it propose
to take any steps, to raise further cash to fund its operations
and, if so, what are those steps and how likely does it
believe that they will be successful?
--------------------------------------------------------------------
Yes. As announced on 23 September 2020, the Company is
undertaking a share placement plan to raise funds up to
A$2m.
The Company also continues to seek alternative funding
options.
--------------------------------------------------------------------
8.8.3 Does the entity expect to be able to continue its
operations and to meet its business objectives and, if
so, on what basis?
--------------------------------------------------------------------
Yes. The Directors believe that it is reasonably foreseeable
that the Company will continue as a going concern based
on the following factors:
* Raising additional funds (as outlined above)
* Continued support from certain external creditors
allowing for the deferred payment of certain
liabilities
* Continued support from current debt holders of the
Company
--------------------------------------------------------------------
Note: where item 8.7 is less than 2 quarters, all of questions
