European Commission Review Dismisses NGO Allegations on Strategic
Project Designation
December 3, 2025
Toronto, Ontario
Euro Sun Mining Inc. (TSX: ESM) (“Euro Sun”, “ESM”, or the “Company”) acknowledges
the European Commission’s published responses to allegations submitted by certain Non-
Governmental Organizations (NGOs) directly to the CRMA Strategic Project Promoters in
Brussels regarding the Commission Decision 2025/840 of 25 March 2025, which designated
certain critical raw material projects as strategic. The Company notes the positive outcome
of the European Commission’s internal review of our Rovina Valley Project, which found
eleven allegations to be partially inadmissible and, in all cases, unfounded.
Commenting on the European Commission’s public response, Grant Sboros, ESM’s CEO,
said: “We feel this as an affirmation of our world-class asset and welcome this public
development, which brings us another step closer to enabling the people of Hunedoara
County and Romania to benefit from a project that supports Europe’s critical copper supply.”
