Change of Ownership Registration for the Slivova Gold Project, Kosovo

Avrupa Minerals Ltd. has completed the formal registration of its ownership restructuring for its Kosovo operations, marking a significant administrative milestone for its Slivova Gold Project. The change in control of AVU Kosova (AVUK), the company's Kosovo-based subsidiary, has been officially registered with both the Kosovo Business Registration Agency and the Kosovo Mining Bureau (ICMM), providing the necessary regulatory approvals for the new ownership structure.

The restructuring results in Avrupa Minerals holding a 49% stake in AVUK, representing a strategic shift that was previously announced in April 2025. This ownership configuration suggests the company has brought in local or regional partners to facilitate operations in the Kosovo mining jurisdiction, a common practice for international mining companies seeking to navigate local regulatory requirements and business customs.

The completion of this registration process is particularly significant as it provides Avrupa Minerals with the legal framework to advance development activities at the Slivova Gold Project. Kosovo's mining sector has been gaining attention from international investors, and having proper local partnerships and regulatory compliance positions the company to capitalize on the region's mineral potential while managing jurisdictional risks effectively.
