BMW Commits to Wolfsberg Lithium Project
European Lithium is pleased to announce that Bayerische Motoren Werkte Aktiengesellschaft (BMW) has transferred funds of US$15 million to ECM Lithium AT GmbH, a wholly owned subsidiary of Critical Metals Corp (Nasdaq: CRML) in relation to the offtake of battery grade lithium hydroxide (LiOH) from the Wolfsberg Lithium Project in Austria which is to be offset against LiOH delivered to BMW (Refer to ASX Ann. 21 December 2022).
Tony Sage, Chairman of EUR, commented: “
This is a huge milestone for the Wolfsberg project which now paves the way for the next financing steps”.
European Lithium holds 67,788,383 (83.03%) ordinary shares in Critical Metals. Based on the closing share price of Critical Metals being US$10.67 per share as of 5 June 2024, the Company’s current investment in Critical Metals is valued at US$723,302,047 (A$1,084,953,070) noting that this valuation is subject to fluctuation in the share price of Critical Metals. Through this significant interest, EUR is aligned with Critical Metals vision to become a key supplier for the lithium-ion battery supply chain in Europe.
