TORONTO, June 15, 2021 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) – Euro Sun Mining Inc. (TSX: ESM) (“Euro Sun” or the “Company”) is pleased to announce the issuance of “Avizul de Oportunitate” by the County Council of Hunedoara County, Romania. This approval is an important step in the authorization process and is required under Romanian law to continue moving the Rovina Valley project forward.

With the issuance of the Avizul de Oportunitate, (approximate translation: notice of opportunity and / or permit), the Company is now authorized to proceed to the next stage of authorization for the Rovina Valley project, namely the Planul Urbanistic Zonal (“PUZ”) Or Land Town Planning Certificate. The PUZ process takes existing pastoral or forest land and re-zones the area required for commercial activity. The final feasibility study, filed on April 14, 2021, provided the technical details necessary for the submission of the application of approximately 3,000 pages and, ultimately, the approval of the permit.

As announced on April 5, 2021, the Company officially launched the Strategic Environmental Assessment (“SEA“) with the Hunedoara County Environmental Protection Agency (“EPA“). The eighteen-day statutory period for public comment on the launch of the EES has passed without any comments being received by the EPA. The Company and the EPA are now working to receive the agreements and / or opinions of all administrative authorities for the environmental notice on the PUZ and to prepare the public consultations expected in the third quarter of 2021.

Scott Moore, CEO of Euro Sun, says: “We are delighted to see the continued support of the Romanian state as it issues the required approvals to move the Rovina Valley project forward towards the start of our construction. Investors’ perception of Romania as a potentially hostile mining jurisdiction is clearly not accurate, as these approval stages continue to demonstrate. Our definitive feasibility study has highlighted a generational asset that brings the highest environmental stewardship as well as significant economic benefits directly to our local communities and the county as a whole. The stage permit now allows the company to proceed with the PUZ, bringing us a little closer to construction.
