3. Created Eurasia Mining Japan to explore serious interest from Asian Investors. 2 new Directors, Tamerlan Abdikeev and Kotaro Kosaka, both with connections to government and multinational firms.
4. Upgraded West Kytlim to 3 washplants, electric draglines to be installed also.
5. Signed a binding agreement with EDRC (Russian Development Agency) which gives significant benefits in reduced tax, land rights and assistance on projects.
6. Announced a JV with H2 Transition Capital (ex Shell management) to commence Hydrogen production at 2 locations in Russia, Kola and Sakhalin.
Going Forward:
One presumes that the Due Diligence being carried out by a credible party is going to be amongst the most detailed due diligence carried out, and that this process has been delayed by the pandemic. Whether potential buyers are seeking the state support, the extra metals, or the chance to be part of the hydrogen economy is a matter of debate, but it cannot hurt the options available to the Board of Eurasia.
Looking forward to 2022, you would expect positions to be cemented, a deal to be done and progress made on all the outstanding issues as we see them today, each being a catalyst to much higher market cap. The wider outlook for PGM seems stable, the chip shortage will ease at some point and palladium demand increase for medium term according to most analysts before settling later in the decade.
Eurasia Mining was initially a PGM play. But it is so much more now. Serious quantities of Nickel are being proven up to JORC standards by Wardell, must be regarded as the latest icing on a cake which is already laden with the stuff.
But perhaps bigger than all of this is to think of Eurasia Mining as the best conduit for Russian projects moving forwards. Fully funded for future endeavours for minimal dilution. Connected at the highest levels of state, partnered with hugely credible people and companies. Even the green lobby has been catered for with the Hydrogen initiative.
urasia Mining : The Great Transformation
The Top 20:
Writing a top 20 stocks for the new year is always a challenge, although even as things stand three weeks in, things are looking positive. The FTSE 100 near post pandemic highs is a help, but ironically the big bad wolf of inflation is and may continue to be a positive driver. We have seen this as far as the oilers are concerned, and of course in the metals space. Tin and Nickel are soaring, with the former helping AfriTin (ATM), and the latter likely to help the top stock in the 2022 countdown, Eurasia Mining. While it may be the case that the EUA maniacs are just focused on M&A, the emphasis in my coverage of the company is to focus on the here and now of what it has under the bonnet. As stated previously, while the doubters of the PGM play have focused on sale delay and what they allege the company is actually sitting on in terms of assets, the past 18 months have seen the company stuff itself full of significant and highly valuable resources.
Land Grab:
Indeed, last week underlined the companies ongoing land grab in Russia, something that even the most significant of oligarchs would delight in. A “company making” discovery was revealed in the form of a Tier-1 scale JORC mineral resource estimate produced by Wardell Armstrong International. NKT, a nickel mine formerly operated by Norilsk Nickel, is certainly nothing to be sniffed at, and for the cynics please note the letters JORC. JORC is the gold standard in mining. It is there, it is real and it is a transformational Tier 1 asset, thank you very much. It is almost certainly the case that if EUA was not in a M&A waiting game the shares would have rallied far more sharply than they did, and would still be rising. We know that Nickel is a pillar of the EV and new energy space, and this is the kind of discovery Elon Musk’s Tesla would be licking its lips regarding. Mr Musk has stated that Nickel supply is the biggest concern for the roll out of EV’s. EUA’s Nickel would certainly come in handy.
2021 Achievement:
But getting back to what has been achieved by this near £800m market cap company we should note the following over the past year. This should underline that EUA has not only made the very difficult transition from being a minnow to a mid-tier company in the sector, it has also built the foundation to be up there with the largest players:
1. Joint Venture with Rosgeo, Russian State exploration company, 9 assets comprising 104.6Moz Platinum Equivalent, placing Eurasia among PGM majors
a. First area known as Nyud, East/South East of Monchetundra
b. 8 other areas to be confirmed, thought to include Poaz a highly significant PGM & Nickel area
2. Appointed Wardell Armstrong International to compile reports, including
a. JORC report on Nyud, part of the Rosgeo JV
b. JORC report on NKT, part of the Monchetundra Flanks, showing $1.2-$1.7bn NPV
3. Created Eurasia Mining Japan to explore serious interest fro
when the deal has gone through, I wonder if we will get info on the cancelled Zak Mir interview? .. and is it less likely now there'll be an EUA2?
Ian, I’ll swap Jay for my iPhone techno wonder battery. Only been in since November and it’s now only 89% effective. Many a good tune played on an old fiddle. :-)
Info on Nickel-Iron battery developed by Thomas Edison in 1901 :-)
Nickel–iron batteries are not new, and last years .....
"In 1901 Thomas Edison patented and commercialized NiFe in the United States and offered it as the energy source for electric vehicles, such as the Detroit Electric and Baker Electric. Edison claimed the nickel–iron design to be, "far superior to batteries using lead plates and acid" (lead–acid battery).[20] Edison had several patents: U.S. Patent 678,722/1901, U.S. Patent 692,507/1902, and German patent No 157.290/1901"
From 3 min 11 sec in Jay Leno shows off his 1901 Baker electric ........ It still has the same old battery and still works :-)
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OhnjMdzGusc
More modern Nickel batteries are improved versions of this old design.
"Edison was disappointed that his battery was not adopted for starting internal combustion engines, and that electric vehicles went out of production only a few years after his battery was introduced. He developed the battery to be the battery of choice for electric vehicles, which were the preferred transportation mode in the early 1900s (followed by gasoline and steam). Edison's batteries had a significantly higher energy density than the lead–acid batteries in use at the time, and could be charged in half the time; however, they performed poorly at low temperatures and were more expensive"
Fantastic summary and looking forward to a transformational year for our company. A force to be reckoned with! GLA.

Good one Ian , however the Bot isn't worth the energy ....
Doesn't understand mining and why things change from time to time, etc etc ....
Afternoon JackoDlad,
As a guess, Nickel was mainly used in the past in the production of Stainless Steel, and then E/Vs came along requiring vast amounts of it for the manufacture of Lithium Batteries for these Electric vehicles,
STAINLESS STEEL
72%
Ni-BASE & Cu-BASE ALLOYS
6%
ALLOY STEELS & CASTINGS
7%
PLATING
7%
BATTERIES
7%
OTHER
1%
And so NOW everyone needs more Nickel for Battery production!

FFS LSE, can you turn peoples posting history back on?
You can’t tell who is genuinely asking a question and who is just being a d1ckwad.
Jackodlad - I think I’ve just worked out what the middle d of your moniker stands for. Sorry for trying to help.
GLA genuine holders.
PK
Well it makes sense to me EUA is a sleeping giant about to be woken up. and when it is awake you will have wished you should have bought more shares to be along for this ride.GLA
Read this Jack....If you can be bothered

Folio,
Don't you just love it when they pretend to be "genuinely interested", spot em a mile off, sad people , why do they exist?
They gave the licence up as it wasn’t cost effective at that time and whoever does their strategic planning clearly didn’t think it was going to be. EUA picked it up and the rest is history.
I do know Jack|*******
I also see BS
Very helpful, thx. So you don't know either then. You might have just said that........
JackoLad - DYOR - try and understand simple Economics .....
It's not rocket science do you know much about the project at all??
If you want a different answer to what you have been given I suggest you ask somewhere else or try research for yourself.
Still makes no sense. Why would a nickel miner let a humongous nickel resource like this go to a competitor? I'm genuinely asking.
Sorry folio, we crossed… yours is a better and more complete response! Thx
Jackodlad, when NN let it go there was not enough demand and the price for nickel was lower. There is significant demand now and is forecasted to be a shortage due to EVs in the coming years.
auto spell is a pest ...
Jacko I replied to that . At the time not Economic - they licence could have gone to any company. Prices were way different at the time . Supercycyle about to happening, huge demand in EV and Hydrogen sector which wasn't about then....
It's a great write up, even more reason to pop ones feet up at this stage, the Eurasia story is now far and wide and there is so much more to come!
Tick tock........tick tock.......
GLA
Zakky's write up followed by a nice RNS, job would be a goodun.
I'm referring to CeeJay post at 13:40 "NKT, a nickel mine formerly operated by Norilsk Nickel". Why would NN let the NKT nickel mine go to Eua? Doesn't make sense to me. Anyone help?
