JOHANNESBURG (miningweekly.com) – A former adviser to the president of the Romanian National Agency for Mineral Resources (NAMR) has joined project developer Euro Sun Mining as public relations manager.
TSX-listed Euro Sun, which is the first non-State-owned entity to have been issued a mining licence in Romania, announced Eugen Popitiu’s appointment on Tuesday.
“Popitiu’s experience within NAMR and the Romanian government is ideally suited for the company as we seek to raise the profile of Euro Sun Mining and the Rovina Valley project,” commented president and CEO Scott Moore.
The Rovina Valley gold and copper project, in west-central Romania, hosts 10.84-million gold equivalent ounces (7.19-million ounces of gold grading 0.55 g/t and 1.42-million pounds of copper grading 0.16%), making it the second-largest gold deposit in Europe.
