Barroso Lithium Project Update

Action Brought Against the Republic of Portugal by Parish Council Extinguished

Savannah Resources plc, the European lithium development company, confirms that the legal action brought against the Republic of Portugal by the Parish of Covas do Barroso (the "Parish Council"), which was announced on 4 February 2022, has been extinguished.

This follows the Mirandela Fiscal and Administrative Court ruling in February 2023 that the Portuguese State and the Ministry of Economy are not legitimate parties in this lawsuit. Therefore, the defendants (the Portuguese State, the Ministry of Economy) and counter-interested party (Savannah) have been acquitted of all requests made by the Parish Council. The period for the Parish Council to appeal has now expired.

Regulatory Information

This Announcement contains inside information for the purposes of the UK version of the market abuse regulation (EU No. 596/2014) as it forms part of United Kingdom domestic law by virtue of the European Union (Withdrawal) Act 2018 ("UK MAR").
