In this episode, we chat to Grant Sboros, CEO of Euro Sun Mining, a publicly listed development-stage mining company focused on unlocking value through the responsible development of the Rovina Valley Project, one of Europe’s largest gold-copper projects.

Grant is a chartered accountant by background has extensive mining experience in Africa in both operations and finance. Working for the likes of Deloitte and Glencore, he has been at the helm of Euro Sun since 2022 and talks to us about the company, the challenges facing companies going from exploration to development, mining in the EU, and their outlook and financing in the industry.

KEY TAKEAWAYS

The Rovina Valley project is one of Europe's largest gold-copper deposits, with a significant resource of 10.4 million ounces of gold equivalent. 

Euro Sun Mining has secured a $200 million financing deal with Trafigura, which is crucial for the project's construction phase. This financing is structured to minimise shareholder dilution

The new Romanian government appears to be pro-mining, which could facilitate the permitting process for the Rovina Valley project. 

Over the next 6 to 12 months, Euro Sun Mining aims to finalise financing agreements, push for legislative progress, and submit the environmental impact assessment. 

BEST MOMENTS

"It is the second largest deposit of gold in Europe. It's a world-class asset, and we need to get it into production." 

"The money that we've raised is critical for the business needs, and the majority of the funds are earmarked to get into construction." 

"Once you've got the strategic status, it will somewhat undo the arduous processes of complicated permitting." 

"The CRMA provides that framework for us to make sure that we can get there, and there are time limits imposed to ensure things get done."
