Eurasia Mining Plc
Eurasia Mining Plc (LSE AIM: EUA; also listed on the Astana International Exchange) is a UK-incorporated platinum-group-metals (platinum, palladium, rhodium, iridium) producer and developer with secondary gold, nickel and copper exposure. All of its principal assets are located in RUSSIA: the producing West Kytlim alluvial PGM mine in the Urals, and the Monchetundra and NKT development assets on the Kola Peninsula in the Russian Arctic. This is flagged prominently because it is the single most material fact about the company for a reader assessing jurisdiction risk. MID-TRANSITION, BUT not the TRANSITION the HEADLINE SUGGESTS. Eurasia's FY2025 annual results (30 June 2026) state that the company 'continues to prioritise a complete exit from Russia through the disposal of its Russian assets.' In practice, however, only one asset is under a sale agreement, and the proceeds are earmarked for building out the other two -- which are also Russian. Read together, the disclosures describe a relocation of activity from the Urals to the Russian Arctic, not a wind-down. WEST KYTLIM -- PRODUCING, and CONTRACTED for SALE BUT not sold. West Kytlim is a long-running alluvial (placer) PGM operation reported on resource-tonnage and annual-production terms rather than through any discounted-cashflow study. It remains in production: mining continued through the 2025 season with output exceeding 10,000 oz of PGM concentrate across six wholly owned enrichment plants, and the company's 30 July 2026 update confirms that 'current mining at West Kytlim (WK) continues as approved and production is underway to comply with the licence agreement.' In late 2025 Eurasia's indirect subsidiary Eurasia Mining Services agreed conditional terms to sell its 68% interest in ZAO Kosvinsky Kamen, the licence holder, to LLC KS Logistics -- described as a non-sanctioned Russian infrastructure, transport, retail and IT business. The transaction values the assets at approximately US$251 million, but after Russian regulatory discounts and exit taxes the cash consideration is RUB 671.2 million (roughly US$9 million: about US$7.3 million upfront and US$1.7 million within twelve months). Shareholders approved the disposal at a general meeting on 15 January 2026, passing all resolutions. Completion has not OCCURRED: it remains conditional on Russian state approvals that were still awaited at the FY2025 results (30 June 2026) and still outstanding at the 30 July 2026 company update. Eurasia therefore still owns and operates the mine. MONCHETUNDRA and NKT -- RETAINED and BEING ADVANCED, not MARKETED. Despite the exit language, these Kola Peninsula assets are the stated destination of the West Kytlim proceeds, which the company intends to use 'to finance the start of production at Kola'. They hold 99.7% of Eurasia's reserves and resources. Monchetundra (Loipishnune and West Nittis deposits) has a JORC-compliant Mineral Resource with Wardell Armstrong International as Competent Person and a Definitive Feasibility Study submitted in December 2022; detailed design and a mining plan were expected to be announced as early as Q3 2026. NKT, an ex-operating nickel mine, carries a JORC Mineral Resource effective 16 December 2021 (305kt Ni, 143kt Cu, and 57t combined PGM+Au) and was progressing toward completion of a Feasibility Study during 2026 -- but note that its PGM/Au component is Inferred-only and unassayed, because the drill core and trenches were analysed for nickel and copper only. A fourth asset, Nyud, is no longer under company control: the Rosgeo joint venture expired and the project was written off in Eurasia's 2022 annual results. REPORTING and DISCLOSURE GAPS, STATED AS FACTS ABOUT the company. Eurasia discloses no NPV, IRR or mine-life figure for any asset -- West Kytlim because a placer operation of this type is not reported through a DCF study, and Monchetundra/NKT because no such economics have been published. West Kytlim's reserves and resources are reported only under the Russian classification system (B, C1, C2 categories; approved mineable reserves of about 4,477 kg PGM, potentially 6,402 kg depending on operational data, against broader district potential cited at 21.6t) and have never been restated under JORC -- a reporting-code gap rather than an absence of material. The company's stage tag reflects West Kytlim's actual, current production; it would need to be revisited if and when that disposal completes.

Milestones are recorded only from a company's own dated disclosure. A milestone with no date shown is one we can confirm was reached but for which no date was disclosed — we don't estimate one. "Not yet reached" means exactly that, not that a date is missing. An "Expected" line likewise only ever reflects the company's own guidance (e.g. a study or permit decision targeted for a stated quarter) — most not-yet-reached milestones have none, and that absence means no such guidance has been disclosed, not that one is overdue.

Jurisdiction (40%)2/10
All of Eurasia Mining's projects are in RUSSIA -- the producing West Kytlim alluvial PGM mine (Urals) and the Monchetundra/NKT/Nyud development assets (Kola Peninsula). Score set to reflect severe elevated geopolitical/operational risk for a Russia-based asset base held by a UK-listed company post-2022.
Infrastructure (40%)7.1/10
A confirmed mill, confirmed grid power, and no confirmed tailings facility at West Kytlim Mine; road access not yet researched, counted at a neutral 5/10 until established.
Nearby producing mine (20%)Not yet researched
No producing mine within 50 km in our reference list (nearest listed: Inkai (JV Inkai) (JSC National Atomic Company Kazatomprom), 1677 km). That list doesn't cover every mining district yet, so a longer distance isn't scored as remote.
Acquisition Susceptibility
A relative ranking of how closely this company matches the profile of juniors that have actually been acquired — not a probability, and not a reason to buy. Acquisitions are rare: only a few dozen significant deals happen a year across a universe of thousands of juniors, so even a high score here describes a long shot. The strongest signal in the research, a producer that already owns part of the company, is scored from its disclosed strategic shareholders. A producer that is a joint-venture or earn-in partner on the project, rather than a shareholder, isn't captured yet.

Reports, Presentations & Documents
Eurasia Mining, listed on AIM and the Astana International Exchange, produces platinum-group metals and gold from the alluvial West Kytlim mine in Russia's Urals and is developing the Monchetundra and NKT projects on the Kola Peninsula; all of its principal assets are in Russia. West Kytlim produced more than 10 koz of PGM concentrate in the 2025 season and the company says it can sustain current production for more than 15 years, but its 68% interest in the mine is contracted for sale to KS Logistics: shareholders approved the sale on 15 January 2026, and completion still awaits Russian state approvals. The proceeds are earmarked to start production at the Kola projects, where a definitive feasibility study for Monchetundra was submitted in December 2022. West Kytlim's reserves are reported only under the Russian classification system, so no JORC resource figure is available for it.
