Finnish Vanadium Recovery Project receives EU supported capital injection
HIGHLIGHTS
-
Neometals 88% owned entity, Recycling Industries Scandinavia AB (“ RISAB ”), executes project agreement with EIT RawMaterials GmbH (“ EIT RawMaterials ”) to support the development of the Finnish vanadium recovery project (“ VRP1 ”);
-
EIT RawMaterials is co-funded by the European Union (“ EU ”) and will provide €0.5M (c. A$829k[1] ) in grant funding to RISAB’s 100% owned VRP1 holding company, Novana Oy (“ Novana ”), and become a minority shareholder in RISAB at a pre-money valuation of €50M (c. A$82.9M[1] ) (“ Pre-Money Valuation ”);
-
Funding to be applied towards progressing project financing, with improved economics arising from an additional €15M (c. A$24.9M[1] ) conditional investment grant (“ the Conditional Grant ”) being provided by the EU backed Finnish State NextGeneration fund and a potential new Finnish State 20% investment tax credit; and
-
EIT RawMaterials to also have the option to subscribe for up to a further €10M (c. A$16.6M[1] ) in additional RISAB equity at the Pre-Money Valuation.
Sustainable process technology developer, Neometals Ltd (ASX: NMT & AIM: NMT) (“ Neometals ” or “ the Company ”), is pleased to announce the execution of a project agreement (“ the Agreement ”) providing funding and services to Novana (indirect NMT 88% interest through RISAB). Novana is commercialising Neometals’ patent-pending vanadium recovery process (“ VRP Technology ”) through the development of VRP1 in Finland.
EIT RawMaterials is based in Berlin Germany and is a legally independent part of the European Institute of Innovation and Technology, an EU entity. EIT RawMaterials is mandated by the European Commission to lead and manage the European Raw Materials Alliance (“ ERMA ”).
Under the Agreement, EIT RawMaterials will provide Novana with €0.5M in grant funding and be issued approximately 1.1% of the issued capital of RISAB at the Pre-Money Valuation. EIT RawMaterials funding and services, which are contingent on the application of funds to pre agreed activities and milestone dates, will support the project financing process for the development of a plant to produce high-purity vanadium pentoxide (“ V2O5 ”) from vanadium-bearing steel slag in Pori, Finland.

Neometals previously announced the results of the VRP1 feasibility study which confirmed the potential for lowest-quartile operating costs, with a low-to-negative carbon footprint[2] . Following receipt of the Agreement funds, Novana will formally commence a project financing selection process seeking approximately € 400M (targeting c. 40% equity, 60% debt) with leading Nordic banks SEB and Aventum managing the equity and debt packages respectively, with assistance from EIT RawMaterials.
In addition, EIT RawMaterials have the option, at the earlier of a) a period of 18 months from signing the Agreement or b) the execution of a binding agreement on an equity commitment for at least €160M into RISAB from one or more (existing or new) investors, to subscribe for up to an additional €10M (c. A$16.6M[1] ) in equity funding in RISAB at the Pre-Money Valuation
The European Investment Bank (“ EIB ”) conditionally approved Novana for debt financing in November 2023. In addition, Business Finland, has offered the Conditional Grant through the EU backed NextGeneration sustainable growth fund. Draw down on the Conditional Grant will be determined by industry standard terms which include Novana having first secured its project financing package. As announced by the Finnish Ministry of Finance on the 28[th] June 2024 (Press Release 326/2024) the Finnish State is also proposing to introduce a new 20% investment tax credit system for large industrial, energy transition and recycling projects in Finland.
Novana holds the exclusive licence to Neometals’ wholly owned VRP Technology in the Nordics[3] and is required to pay a 2.5% gross revenue royalty on all products generated from its use. Novana holds a long-term lease over the proposed VRP1 plant site, has secured the project’s environmental permit[4] and has entered a binding offtake for 100% of VRP1’s V2O5 products with Glencore International AG[5] . Neometals does not intend to provide further material funding to RISAB/Novana to develop VRP1 and expects to dilute its current holding to a minority equity position.

Neometals Managing Director Chris Reed said:
“We are delighted Novana and VRP1 have attracted a group of EIT RawMaterials calibre as a shareholder and supporter of the project financing process. With the VRP1 conditionally confirmed for EIB debt financing, we look forward to formally securing the remaining equity and debt funding. We hope to capitalise on the significant support from the Finnish State and EU and new incentives to deliver Europe’s first domestic producer of high-purity vanadium, a critical material for the production of high-strength steel, aerospace titanium alloys and stationary energy storage batteries.”

Financing Strategy
-
Novana’s financing strategy for the VRP1 is to procure approximately €400M (including working capital and contingencies) via a combination of debt (targeting 60%) and equity (targeting 40%). Leading Nordic Advisors Aventum Partners (debt) and Swedish bank SEB, supported by EIT RawMaterials (equity) are leading the financing process.
-
European Investment Bank (“EIB”) has approved VRP1 for project debt financing and discussions with commercial banks are well advanced for the balance of the required debt facility. In addition, discussions are advanced with Finnvera, the Finnish state-owned financing company and export credit agency, in relation to providing a guarantee for the majority of the face value of commercial debt issued.

Governmental Support - Tailwinds
-
EIT RawMaterials is mandated by the European Commission to lead and manage the stakeholder consultation process on behalf of the European Raw Materials Alliance (“ERMA”).
-
By 2030, ERMA’s activities will increase the production of raw and advanced materials and address the circular economy by boosting the recovery and recycling of critical raw materials within the EU. Vanadium has been on the EU list of critical raw materials since 2017.
-
Business Finland is Finland's official government agency for trade and investment promotion, innovation funding, travel promotion and talent attraction. Business Finland funding is intended for circular economy investments by companies operating in Finland that improve the level of environmental protection beyond EU standards or increase waste recycling. Business Finland, has conditionally offered a €15M grant through the EU backed NextGeneration sustainable growth fund. Draw down on the grant will be determined by industry standard terms which include Novana having first secured its project financing package.
-
On 28[th] June 2024, Finnish government Ministerial Committee on Economic Policy announced (2024 Press Release 326/2024) https://valtioneuvosto.fi/en/-/preparation-moves-forward-on-tax-subsidy-for-large-investments that the Finnish Ministry of Finance will continue to prepare tax support for large, clean transition industrial investments. The proposed tax support could be a material opportunity for Novana as it is proposed that tax aid take the form of a reduction in the corporation tax imposed.
-
The Finnish Government proposal on tax support is currently being prepared by the Ministry of Finance. The draft legislation is scheduled for comment in the early European autumn.
