Company Statement

The principal activity of AIM-listed EMED Mining (Code:EMED) is to explore for and develop natural resources, with a focus on copper and gold.

The Company's region of interest spans from Europe to the Middle East which includes many past centres of mining and under-explored potential for many styles of mineralisation such as volcanogenic-hosted massive sulphide copper-gold, epithermal gold and porphyry copper-gold.

EMED Mining is focused on two key projects in Spain and Slovakia which hold the most potential to add major value.

The Rio Tinto Mine and associated processing infrastructure in Spain continues to be an exceptional opportunity for EMED Mining to produce copper at a relatively low acquisition and start-up cost. The legal structure for the mine ownership has been clarified and EMED Mining now conditionally owns 100% of the Rio Tinto Mine.

At the Biely Vrch Prospect in Slovakia, a substantial drilling program has culminated in an initial JORC Code-compliant Mineral Resource estimate of 1.1 million ounces of contained gold. The preliminary economics of mining Biely Vrch are very encouraging and further evaluation work is planned. Porphyry gold deposits such as Biely Vrch typically occur in clusters and exploration continues to provide encouragement that further large porphyry gold deposits will be discovered within our large licence area in central Slovakia.

EMED Mining also owns 32% of AIM-listed KEFI Minerals Plc, which is primarily exploring for gold and copper in Turkey and Saudi Arabia.

Regional Strategy 
The Group's region of interest is the Mesozoic to Tertiary age tectonic belt that winds from Europe to the Middle East, extending for over 3,000 kilometres.

Significant recent political changes in the region provide opportunities as well as challenges. The lack of recent mine developments in many countries has caused lack of familiarity with the risks and rewards of mining. In this lack of empathy, EMED Mining sees both challenge and opportunity.


Current Operations

Projects 
EMED Mining has now established a strong position in the following areas within its area of interest:

  • EMED Mining continues to progress towards becoming a significant copper producer at the historic Rio Tinto Copper Mine in Spain - an exceptional opportunity to produce copper at a relatively low acquisition and start-up cost.
  • Exploration in Slovakia is focussed on the recently recognised porphyry gold district where EMED Mining has discovered a porphyry gold deposit containing 1.1 million ounces of contained gold at the Biely Vrch Prospect. A studyscoping the potential development of Biely Vrch is underway and drilling is planned for several other prospects within EMED Mining's large 100%-owned licence areas in the Central Slovakian Volcanic Field.
  • Cyprus exploration areas are centred on the Troodos ophiolite complex. The targeted mineralisation style is volcanic-hosted massive sulphide copper deposits under shallow cover rocks, similar to the larger past Cyprus copper mines - three of which exceeded 10 million tonnes of ore running at grades between 1% and 4.5%.
  • KEFI Minerals Plc was admitted to AIM in December 2006 and is 32%-owned by EMED Mining. KEFI Minerals owns carefully selected licence areas in Turkey and Saudi Arabia, as well as an extensive proprietary database of regional and specific exploration data providing a pipeline of further projects to evaluate.
