The renewal, approved by the relevant authorities in Galicia, Spain, represents a vote of confidence in Eurobattery Minerals’ commitment to regional economic development, environmental sustainability, and local job creation.

“This license extension not only guarantees the continuity of our tungsten mining operations in San Juan but also reaffirms the institutional support for our responsible and transparent approach to European mining. It is a testament to our close collaborative work with local authorities and communities,” stated Roberto García Martínez, CEO of Eurobattery Minerals.

The San Juan tungsten project, located in A Gudiña (Ourense, Galicia), has all the necessary permits to move into the production phase for wolfram, supported by modern gravimetric processing technology that minimizes environmental impact as well as avoiding the need to use explosives.

The 30-year extension is part of the regulatory framework for mining licenses in Spain, extensions which are granted in successive phases, provided that the technical, environmental, and investment criteria established by the competent authorities are met.

“The support of the local and regional authorities demonstrates the importance of this project for the autonomous community of Galicia and for the development of a fully traceable and responsible European supply chain for critical minerals. This step guarantees the continuity of modern and sustainable mining in the territory for the next three decades,” added Agne Ahlenius, Managing Director of Tungsten San Juan.

The extension will allow the company to confidently move forward with the construction of the pilot processing plant and the start-up of production operations planned for the second half of 2026, ensuring a stable and traceable source of minerals for the European market.

With this measure, Eurobattery Minerals reinforces its position as a strategic partner in the sustainability transition, supplying critical minerals produced in Europe, for Europe.
