The company continued first-pass exploration work during the past few months and outlined a blind massive sulfide drilling target beneath the gossan zone. In addition, it also discovered further gold-bearing rock units in the Pester area.

The Slivovo exploration license was granted to the Avrupa subsidiary in Kosovo in June 2012.
