Corporate Update
Eurasia Mining Plc ("Eurasia" or the "Company"), the palladium,
platinum, rhodium, iridium and gold mining company, provides a
general corporate update.
Corporate Strategy and Possible sale of Russian assets
The Company has prioritised the sale of its Russian assets and,
as advised in the Company's 19 September Interim Results statement,
this workstream remains the main focus of Eurasia's senior
executive team. It is important to emphasise that, despite the now
extended timeline, active discussions are maintained with
counterparties based in Hong Kong and Russia, but as yet no terms
have been agreed and, as ever, there can be no guarantee that
Eurasia will enter into binding agreements.
Cash position
The Company's cash assets at 30 November 2023, were
approximately GBP517,000. The Company does not currently hold US
treasury notes. The value of unsold concentrate within Inventories
at 30 June 2023 was approximately GBP3.5 million. No major capital
expenditure items are forecast for Russian assets for 2024 and
notwithstanding the proposed sale of concentrate (see below), the
Company has sufficient working capital to meet ongoing obligations
until the end of Q12024.
The Company's cash reserves are held in USD and GBP accounts
outside of Russia and therefore not directly or indirectly exposed
to Rouble foreign exchange gains or losses against other major hard
currencies.
West Kytlim
The mine and all of its machinery and infrastructure are being
maintained in a sale ready state, with no production expected on
site in 2024, as has been the case for all of 2023. The stockpile
of inventory from the 2022 mine season is being held in secure
storage off site. As previously notified, discussions regarding the
sale of the 2022 concentrate remain ongoing.
Monchetundra and Nyud Project
The Company notes its announcement of 8 February 2022, which
updated the reserves and resources at the Monchetundra Project
(Loipishnune and West Nittis deposits) and the
Nittis-Kumuzhya-Travyanaya ("NKT") area. No further updates under
the JORC code are planned.
With respect to the Nyud project, as the Rosgeo Agreement has
expired no further announcements will be made regarding reserves
and resources on such assets, which are no longer under the control
of the Company. Expenditure on the Nyud Project was written off in
the Company's annual results for the year ended 31 December 2022.
Despite a transferrable legal entitlement to the Nyud project
remaining in place, no further work on this project is currently
planned by the Company.
Travyanaya area
The Company recently received a license for the Travyanaya area,
directly adjacent and to the north of the NKT, after a long
application period. The license was issued in November and is valid
for seven years. The license occurs on strike from already
identified mineralisation in the NKT and was pegged to fully
enclose the NKT structure to the northwest. While the Company is
not intending to carry out any work on this licence in 2024, it
will be added to the assets available for possible sale.
Legal matters
As notified on 15 November 2023, the legal proceedings between
the Company and Queeld Investments Limited ("Queeld") and Mispare
Limited ("Mispare") were stayed by consent and an Order was made by
consent. In accordance with the Order, replacement share
certificates are being held by solicitors acting for Queeld and
Mispare until 5 March 2024, at which point the share certificates
will be released to Queeld and Mispare.
The Company's dispute with its former legal adviser Gowling WLG
(UK) LLP over unpaid invoices amounting to approximately GBP108,000
remains the subject of ongoing legal discussions, with the aim of
reaching a satisfactory conclusion without recourse to further
proceedings. Further updates will be made as appropriate.
Sanctions
Eurasia continues to closely monitor all regulatory requirements
and maintains a regular dialogue with its legal advisers regarding
the potential impact of any US, UK or EU sanctions applicable to
the Company, its operations, and assets. Eurasia remains satisfied
that its current operations are not prohibited under US, UK or EU
sanctions rules. The Company also affirms that it does not engage,
and has not engaged, with any sanctioned persons, entities or
agencies.
Moscow Exchange Listing
Further to the Company's announcement of 23 November 2021,
Eurasia confirms that it is not currently exploring a dual listing
on the Moscow Exchange.
Chairman Christian Schaffalitzky commented: "We appreciate our
shareholders' support as we continue to pursue the possible sale of
our Russian assets. Our main project at West Kytlim has seen no
production of concentrate through 2023. We have maintained the
assets in a sale ready state. Currently, the Company is not
developing further mining assets. The Board and senior executives
remain hopeful of a successful conclusion to the sale of assets
process and we look forward to updating our shareholders in this
regard as appropriate."
