The Act, which is pending formal approval from the European Parliament and the Council, outlines ambitious targets for the extraction, processing, and recycling of strategic raw materials by 2030.
The Critical Raw Materials Act sets specific goals for member states: to extract 10% of their critical raw materials, process 40% within the EU, and recycle 25%. It also introduces new requirements for large companies to conduct risk assessments on their supply chains and establishes a framework for monitoring critical raw material supply chains.
Euro Sun’s CEO, Mr. Grant Sboros, has welcomed the political agreement on the Act, recognizing its potential positive impact on the company’s Rovina Valley Project in Romania.

The Rovina Valley Project could gain from streamlined procedures and improved access to finance as a result of being designated as a strategic project under this new legislation. This development underscores Euro Sun Mining Inc.’s commitment to the exploration and development of its wholly-owned gold and copper project in west-central Romania. The company’s endorsement of the Critical Raw Materials Act highlights its alignment with broader EU efforts to bolster domestic capacities in key sectors and reduce reliance on external sources for critical materials.
