global investment markets, providing the Company with broader access to ESG

TORONTO, August 9th 2021 -- Euro Sun Mining Inc. (TSX: ESM) (“Euro Sun” or the
“Company”), a European focused gold-copper developer, is pleased to announce its intention to
seek a listing of the Company’s shares on the London Stock Exchange (“LSE”)
Main Market. Subject to the required regulatory approvals from the Financial Conduct Authority
and the LSE, including publication of a Prospectus. Admission to the LSE is expected to occur in

Key Company Highlights
- The Company's main asset, the Rovina Valley Project (“the Project” or “RVP”) , which
contains the Rovina , Colnic and Ciresata deposits, is one of the largest undeveloped
copper-gold projects in Europe, holding approximately 400Mt of confirmed resources
containing 7.0 million ounces of gold and 1.4 billion lbs of copper.
- The Rovina Valley gold and copper project is 100% held by the Company.
- Euro Sun recently completed a Definitive Feasibility Study ("DFS") on t he Rovina Valley
Project, outlining its robust economics and a full project outline towards construction.
- The results of the DFS were announced in March 2021, showing average annual gold
equivalent production of 146,000 ounces in the first 10 years, consisting of 106,000
ounces of gold and 19 million pounds of copper per annum at an average AISC of
$790/gold equivalent ounce with a mine life of 16.8 years.
- The DFS has been based solely on the development of the Colnic and Rovina deposits.
Further development of the Ciresata resource could extend the life of the operation while
utilising the same infrastructure and processing capabilities that would already be in
operation.
- The management team and Board, which comprises six independent non -executive
directors and one executive director, has a proven track record in financing large scal e
mining projects and a significant focus on corporate governance and experience
overseeing companies listed on leading international stock exchanges.

"The decision to list in London, the world’s most dominant capital market for mining stocks, fully
underpins our overarching strategy of producing critical metals from our asset located in the EU
to meet the increasing demand from European markets, which are taking steps to become more
self-sufficient and cut their reliance on countries such as China for strategic resources. There is
currently a short supply of copper and gold produced within Europe, and ESM is well placed to
help fill that gap. Once in production, we expect to be one of the most efficient and environmentally
responsible producers of copper and gold not only in Europe but globally. The Board looks forward
to the opportunity to rais e the Company’s profile through the London listing ahead of what
management expects will be several value-accretive catalysts.
“The Project, which has already been awarded its mining exploitation permit, is one of the largest
undeveloped projects of its kind in Europe, with 10.1 million ounces of gold equivalent of
measured and indicated resource 1. The Project is targeted to be in production in 2024 and will
use simple and low-impact mining to produce a clean copper and gold concentrate product, ideally
suited for European smelters.
“Equally as important as RVP’s size and location is our commitment to responsible practices. We
have cle ar Environmental, Social and Governance commitments that are aligned with
internationally recognised standards and goals. We take pride in our low-impact approach, which
will use dry-stacking, existing infrastructure, renewable/ grid electricity, and zero cya nide. We
have and continue to work with all levels of government and the local communities to maintain
our social license to operate and ensure we leave a lasting socio-economic benefit for years to
come.”
London Stock Exchange Listing
The London Stock Exchange was established in 1698 and has long been home to some of the
world’s largest and best-known mining companies. Admission of Euro Sun's shares to the Main
Market of the LSE will provide the Company with access to a highly liquid market and a larger
pool of active investors who have a long and established history of investing in resource stocks.
These investors have a deep understanding of the sector but limited exposure to mid-tier gold
and copper developers in low-risk jurisdictions.
The Company is not intending to raise capital in conjunction with listing. The application for
listing the Company’s Shares and the LSE Admission will not affect Euro Sun’s current listing on
the Toronto Stock Exchange.
Euro Sun will keep the market informed of progress on the LSE Admission.
