- Velocity Minerals Ltd. is a precious metals and base metals exploration company primarily focused on gold and copper exploration in Europe. The company’s core products and services include the exploration and development of mineral properties, with key assets historically concentrated in southeastern Bulgaria. Its main holdings include a 70% interest in the Rozino gold project and other nearby gold deposits such as the Momchil, Nadezhda, and Iglika properties. Velocity Minerals pursues a “Hub & Spoke” development strategy aimed at producing gold concentrates from multiple deposits for central processing at a strategically important gold processing plant operated by a Bulgarian partner, Gorubso Kardzhali A.D. The company also recently expanded its geographic operations to northern Greece, where it has acquired exploration licenses for copper-gold projects. Velocity was founded in 2007 and is headquartered in Vancouver, British Columbia, Canada.
In recent major developments, Velocity Minerals agreed to sell all its Bulgarian assets for approximately USD 59 million to Türker Global Madencilik Sanayi ve Ticaret A.Ş., a Turkish mining company, under a definitive share purchase and option agreement finalized in early 2025. This transaction includes the sale of its 70% stake in the Rozino project along with licenses, license applications, and associated rights for other mineral properties in Bulgaria. Following this strategic divestiture, Velocity has been active in project generation and exploration in northern Greece, where it secured an exploration license in 2025. The company has also signed a Funding and Technical Services Agreement with Türker to facilitate the transition. These moves mark a significant strategic shift away from Bulgarian hard asset holdings towards advancing a development and exploration pipeline in Greece and possibly other European locations. Velocity continues to focus on gold and copper exploration and aims to leverage existing operational expertise and partnerships to grow its resource base in these new regions.
Velocity operates primarily in the gold and base metals mining exploration industry with a business model centered on acquiring and developing high-potential mineral properties and advancing them toward commercial production. The company targets markets in southeastern Europe, including Bulgaria and Greece, with a strong emphasis on leveraging local processing infrastructure and cost-effective development strategies. Velocity's strategic alliances and recent asset sales reflect a repositioning to consolidate and focus its project pipeline for enhanced growth prospects. The company is listed on the TSX Venture Exchange under the ticker VLC and on the OTCQB Market under VLCJF.
