This is some good news Bill ,
thanks Jarv, great spot!
so EUA have manged to get support from the ministry of finance to change the tax code , wow, hopefully this will lead to offers for the assests!
The Ministry of Finance will adjust the tax burden on the extraction of platinum group metals if the concentrate contains gold. Companies that mine gold-platinum concentrate faced a 3.5-fold increase in taxes, although the tax burden for gold was kept at the same levels. As a result, some projects became unprofitable.
The Ministry of Finance is preparing a package of amendments to the Tax Code, according to which an increased coefficient for the mineral extraction tax will not be applied to the production of concentrates containing both platinum group metals and gold. This is stated in the response of the Ministry of Finance to the Commissioner under the President of Russia for the protection of the rights of entrepreneurs Boris Titov, the office of the business ombudsman reported.
According to the business ombudsman, he was contacted by the management of the Kosvinsky Kamen company, which is developing the Tylay-Kosvinskoye deposit in the Sverdlovsk region. The deposit's platinum and gold reserves, including production, at the end of 2021 amounted to 4.3 tons. The shareholders of Kosvinsky Stone are JSC Eurasia Mining Service with 68% of shares, individual A. Larin - 25%, National Settlement Depository - 7%. The parent company Eurasia Mining Plc is registered in the UK.
This is not the first time that the Ministry of Finance, after increasing the load on the mining sector, adjusts it for individual projects. For example, a zero mineral extraction tax was established for Russian Platinum projects in the Krasnoyarsk Territory, Evraz received a tax deduction for the mineral extraction tax for the Kachkanarsky GOK, and the Sorsky GOK for molybdenum and copper mining projects in Khakassia. Independent expert Boris Lutset believes that in the case of the Ural deposits we are talking about eliminating legal uncertainty,
