MINING IN EUROPE is a new publication of E U R O P E A N G O L D C E N T R E Dear reader, In this issue, you will find: * my EDITORIAL COMMENT, in which I elaborate on how the attitude in European countries is getting more positive towards mining and exploration activities......... * the introduction of a NEW SUPPORTING COMPANY which is developing a high-grade (and I really mean high-grade here!) uranium project in SLOVAKIA.

Read about how this company is progressing with its Pre-Feasibility Study and beyond that on the way to achieve its objective, to become a solid uranium producer......... * interesting company developments in the HIGHLIGHTED CORPORATE NEWS section......... * the FEATURED ARTICLE with the second part of the article on how the European Commission would like to see natural resources to be taken seriously......... * three worthwhile MINING INVESTMENT EVENTS IN EUROPE where you can obtain specific information, meet the experts and managements and expand your networking......... * remarkable NEWS on new exploration companies coming to Europe to respectively develop a possible tin mine in SPAIN and start exploration for gold in SWITZERLAND, yes you are reading it right, SWITZERLAND. I hope you find it as fascinating to read about these subjects as I found it fascinating to write about them.

Your feedback is invited.

Happy reading! Best regards, Henk J.
