Samuel Engineering approached Stantec Consulting International LLC (Stantec) with an opportunity to update the initial Mineral Resource Estimate (MRE) and Preliminary Economic Assessment (PEA) (P&E Mining Consultants, Inc. [P&E], 2020) for Euro Lithium Inc.’s (Euro Lithium) mineral deposit near Valjevo, Serbia (the Valjevo Project). The Valjevo Project contains four of the critical raw materials (CRM) as defined by the European Commission’s Critical Raw Materials: Charting a Path towards greater Security and Sustainability (2020). This work is an update to the MRE completed in May 2020, that previously focused on an open pit concept to extract lithium-bearing montmorillonite (swinefordite) clays and borates from the resource and produce technical-grade lithium carbonate (Li2CO3), and boric acid (H3BO3). After completing a seven-hole (2,045 m) drill program in a targeted area of the mineral deposit in the spring and early summer of 2020, Euro Lithium requested that Samuel Engineering and Stantec update the resource model and assess alternative mining methods for resource extraction. This report outlines the updated MRE and the associated data and procedures used to derive the estimates. The updated MRE presented herein is reported using Canadian Securities Administrators’ National Instrument 43-101 (NI 43-101) and has been estimated in conformity with the generally accepted Canadian Institute of Mining, Metallurgy and Petroleum (CIM’s) Estimation of Mineral Resource and Mineral Reserves Best Practices Guidelines (2018). Mineral resources are not mineral reserves and do not have demonstrated economic viability; as such, there is no guarantee that any part of the mineral resource will be converted into a mineral reserve. Unlike the initial MRE (P&E, 2020), the updated MRE includes a portion of indicated resources, though most remains inferred. Confidence in the estimate of a combined indicated and inferred mineral resources is sufficient to apply technical and economic parameters at a PEA level, which enables a preliminary evaluation of potential economic viability. Mineral resources may be affected by further infill and exploration drilling, which may result in increases or decreases in resource estimates in subsequent MREs. This updated MRE is based on information and data supplied by Euro Lithium and was written by Stantec’s Allan Schappert, Certified Professional Geologist, and Derek Loveday, Professional Geoscientist, both independent Qualified Persons in terms of NI 43-101. The effective date of this updated MRE is 19 November 2020. 2.0 PROJECT BACKGROUND 2.1 Property and Location The Valjevo Project is comprised of three contiguous exploration licenses: Valjevo, Ljig, and Valjevo North, totaling 274.59 km2 in western Serbia near the town of Valjevo.

These licenses cover the Neogene sedimentary basins, associated with the Vardar tectonic zone. Euro Lithium Balkan d.o.o. Valjevo, a wholly owned subsidiary of Euro Lithium, owns the geological exploration rights to the Valjevo Licenses. The Exploration Licenses are located approximately 80 km southwest of the capital city of Serbia, Belgrade. Valjevo is the principal city in the area and the administrative center of the Kolubara District. Rio Tinto’s Jadar lithium-borate deposit lies about 80 km to the northwest of Valjevo on a similar geologic trend within the Vardar Zone. Figure 1 shows the location of the Valjevo Project relative to the capital city of Serbia, Belgrade. Figure 1: Valjevo Project Location The approximate center of the Valjevo Project lies at latitude

    Regional Characteristics of Market Production of Fruit and Grapes in Serbia

    REGIONAL CHARACTERISTICS OF MARKET PRODUCTION OF FRUIT AND GRAPES IN SERBIA Original scientific paper Economics of Agriculture 1/2018 UDC: 913:[346.54:641.13+634.8.076](497.11) doi:10.5937/ekoPolj1801201S REGIONAL CHARACTERISTICS OF MARKET PRODUCTION OF FRUIT AND GRAPES IN SERBIA1 Simo Stevanović2, Snežana Stevanović 3, Svjetlana Janković-Šoja4 Summary In the paper analyzes the trends in the development of market production of fruit (on the example of the apple and the plum) and grapes in Serbia from 1976 to 2015. The grouping of the Serbian districts according to the degree of the market production of fruit and grapes in 2015 was performed by a cluster analysis, on the basis of the six features of production, five features of the capacities, and five features of development. According to the data for 2015, the degree of the marketability of apples in Serbia was 47.7%, plums 15.9%, and grapes 18.3%. The Serbia-North Region shows a surplus in the production of apples, and a deficit in the production of plums (-181.7%) and grapes (-99.1%). The Serbia-South Region has a surplus in the production of the analyzed kinds of fruit (the apple accounting for 43.0%, and the plum 50.9%) and grapes (45.2%). Keywords: market production of fruit, economic development, I-distance, cluster analysis JEL: Q-13, O-11 Introduction Serbia is a traditionally significant producer of all kinds of continental fruit and grapes. Given the commercial, technological and nutritive characteristics of fruit production, 1 The paper is part of the research conducted on the “Serbia’s Rural Labor Market and Rural Economy – Income Diversification and Poverty Reduction” Project, No.

CEKOR is a member of CEE Bankwatch Network. Coalition for Sustainable Mining, Serbia (Koalicija za održivo rudarstvo u Srbiji – KORS) is an organisation that promotes the application of the strictest social and environmental standards for mining and mineral use in Serbia. CEE Bankwatch Network is the largest network of grassroots, environmental and human rights groups in central and eastern Europe. It monitors public finance institutions that are responsible for hundreds of billions of investments across the globe. Together with local communities and other NGOs Bankwatch works to expose their influence and provide a counterbalance to their unchecked power. About ICT and the mining-related work of CEE Bankwatch Network CEE Bankwatch Network has been monitoring mining projects in Europe and abroad for years. Bankwatch cooperates with the Make ICT Fair consortium, which seeks to reform the information and communication technology (ICT) manufacture and minerals supply chains and to improve the lives of workers and those impacted along different stages of the ICT supply chain. Our long-term cooperation with groups monitoring the impact of mining on people and environment as well as with communities directly affected by mines or smelters strengthens our conviction that the many negative impacts of mining must finally come under the proper scrutiny.

A total of 22 maize samples were collected from four different districts across the country: City of Belgrade (nine samples), Šumadija (eight samples), Podunavlje (four samples) and Kolubara (one sample). Toxigenic fungi were identified according to the morphological characteristics whereas the mycotoxins contamination were detected using biochemistry enzyme-linked immuno-sorbent (ELISA) assay. The tested samples were mostly infected with Aspergillus, Fusarium and Penicillium spp., except that one sample originated from Kolubara was not contaminated with Aspergillus species. Fusarium graminearum was the most common species in the maize sample from Kolubara district (60%), F. verticillioides in the maize samples from Podunavlje (43.75%) and City of Belgrade (22.4%) districts, and Penicillium spp.
