Rovina mine

Rovina mine is a proposed open pit mine in the west of Romania in Hunedoara County, 18 km north of Deva and 388 km north of the capital, Bucharest. Rovina is a large gold and copper deposit with estimated reserves of 4 million oz of gold and 244,000 tonnes of copper, and the largest proposed copper-gold project in the EU. The project is wholly owned by the Toronto-based company Euro Sun Mining, (formerly named Carpathian Gold). The project would process 14.4 million tonnes of ore per annum over an open pit life of 17 years, yielding approximately 106,000 oz of gold and 9Kt of copper per year. In 2021, environmental groups announced that they had acquired land in the development area in an attempt to halt construction. In 2025 Euro Sun Mining's Rovina Valley Project along 46 other projects was designated a strategic project by the European Union which allows for fast track permitting, with the Romanian government aligning legislation with the project.
