Eurasia Mining plc

Interim Results

for the six months ended

30 June 2014

 

Chairman's Statement 

I am pleased to be able to report on very important progress made by Eurasia Mining plc ("Eurasia" or the "Company") over the past six months, with the agreement to increase our equity share in our Russian projects and the advancement of the permitting progress of the mining project at West Kytlim in the Urals. 

Joint Venture with Anglo Platinum 

Eurasia agreed to acquire the remaining 50 percent of Urals Alluvial Platinum Limited (the "UAP") that it did not already own from Anglo American Platinum Limited. UAP is the operating company for both the West Kytlim project in the Urals and the Monchetundra project in the Kola Peninsula. As a result, Eurasia will hold 75% equity in West Kytlim and 100% in Monchetundra. The agreement is conditional on South African exchange control approval. 

I believe the timing of this transaction is of great benefit to the Company as production becomes closer to realization. Eurasia has been executing and funding a work programme on its own on both projects since 2009. I believe our work has produced attractive assets which, particularly in the case of West Kytlim, are nearing production and it is therefore an excellent outcome that we should enter this next phase with double the original interest in the projects. Eurasia's increased equity interest in UAP should also provide greater flexibility to bring in new partners or to restructure the holdings for improved efficiency of future operations, should the Company wish to do so. 

West Kytlim 

Exploration work has completed on the West Kytlim licence and work is now concentrated on the regulatory steps necessary to allow mining to commence. Earlier this year we announced a substantial uplift in approved reserves, for which we have made application for a Discovery Certificate and are hopeful that this will be awarded in the very near future. Following its receipt the Company will immediately lodge an application for a Production Licence; preparatory work for this has already been completed. 

 

 

Monchetundra 

After several years of exploration the Company is now in the process of 3D modeling of two priority open pit targets and is putting together a feasibility study of these 2 targets.

Loan to joint venture is provided by the Group on an interest free basis with no fixed date of repayment. The Group does not hold any collateral as security.

In prior periods the Group recognised that the loan advanced to the joint venture was not to be repaid within 12 months from the start of the platinum production mining licence for which is expected to be granted by authorities in Russia. Consequently the Group have fair valued the loan estimating the repayment of the loan based on cash flows due to be generated by the joint venture. The loan was discounted using NPV method. No discount has been recognised in the period (£270,178 within the comparative period of 2013). Actual repayment schedule and interest chargeable on the loan will be revised by the joint venture partners as soon as the production licence has been granted.

Undiscounted amount of the loan at 30 June 2014 is £3,809,026.

Advances to acquire interest in uranium project represent payment of $602,000 made in 2011 towards acquisition of 55% interest in the Kamushanovsky uranium project in Kyrgyzstan.
