NEW YORK, NY–(EMWNews – August 21, 2008) – EuroGas, Inc. (
officially requested an acceleration of the return of the Gemerska Poloma
talc mining concession to Rozmin s.r.o. by filing official requests with
the Government of the Slovak Republic and the European Commission. EuroGas
filed these requests on behalf of Rozmin, a company in which EuroGas owns
or has agreements to acquire a 90% interest.
Rozmin, as plaintiff, successfully filed suit in Slovakia against the
Slovak Mining Office at Spisska Nova Ves (“the Defendant”) to recover the
Germerska Poloma talc deposit. In its decision, the Supreme Court of the
Slovak Republic found that the Defendant and certain of its employees had
engaged in illegal activities and practices, as well as having violated
Rozmin’s constitutional and legal rights by illegally cancelling Rozmin’s
talc mining concession in January 2005 and subsequently transferring the
concession to Economia Agency/VSK Mining s.r.o.
In its non-appealable ruling, the Supreme Court of the Slovak Republic
found in favor of Rozmin and ordered the defendant to return the talc
mining concession to Rozmin. Despite this legally binding ruling, Rozmin
has yet to have its talc mining concession at Germerska Poloma reinstated,
in violation of the Supreme Court’s ruling.
Accordingly, EuroGas, on Rozmin’s behalf, has now officially requested the
Government of the Slovak Republic to probe the illegal activities of the
Mining Office in Spisska Nova Ves and certain of its employees as found by
the Supreme Court, as well as to immediately transfer title to the
concession back to Rozmin. EuroGas has also requested the European
Commission in Brussels, Belgium, to assist the Company in its efforts to
obtain the rapid return of the Rozmin mining concession as its legal
advisors believe that the Common Law of the European Union has also been
violated. The Slovak Republic is a full member of the European Union
and its Government has recently announced that it will introduce Europe’s
common currency, the Euro, as its currency on January 1, 2009.
Based on the findings of the non-appealable judgment of the Supreme Court
of the Slovak Republic, Rozmin is resolute in its belief that it will be
successful in securing the return of the talc mining concession at
Germerska Poloma.
Rozmin s.r.o. is a closely held Slovak mining company which controls the
massive Gemerska Poloma talc deposit with an estimated 150 million ton
carbonate reserve in Eastern Slovakia.The talc deposit Gemerska Poloma,
named after the village where it was discovered in Eastern Slovakia, is one
of the largest talc deposits worldwide. The carbonate type deposit and
resulting purity of the valuable mineral enhances the efficiency of the
benefication process and allows a higher purity to be attained in the final
project. EuroGas intends to bring the Germerska Poloma deposit into
commercial production.
