TORONTO, June 04, 2018 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Euro Sun Mining Inc.

The Company encourages Nevsun’s management and Board of Directors to engage as it is in the best interests of all stakeholders. The total proposed consideration of  CDN$5.00 per share for the acquisition of all Nevsun stock includes CDN$150M cash from Euro Sun and CDN$600M cash from Lundin Mining along with CDN$150M in Euro Sun stock and CDN$600M in Lundin Mining stock. Euro Sun’s stock portion only represents 10% of the total consideration in this proposal.

Since making the proposal public on May 7th, 2018 numerous meetings have been held with shareholders of Nevsun, both in person and via teleconference.
