TBTT - i'm sure you'll choose to ignore this information in this Regulatory New Service put out by Eurasia 26th March but i'll try anyway:
https://www.lse.co.uk/rns/EUA/binding-agreement-signed-with-rosgeo-664vj174ti35e5h.html
A few key extracts:
- Eurasia Mining Plc ("Eurasia" or the "Company"), the palladium, platinum, rhodium, iridium and gold producing company, is pleased to announce that it has signed a legally binding agreement ("Rosgeo Agreement") to create a new joint venture (the "JV") with Russian state-owned company Rosgeo ("Rosgeo"). Joining forces with Rosgeo in Russia with regard to the JV expands Eurasia's world-class portfolio of mining assets on the Kola Peninsula ("Kola") ---- the palladium, platinum, rhodium, iridium and gold producing company - PRODUCING COMPANY
- Eurasia has paid an initial consideration of c.US$0.5 million of cash (the "Initial Consideration") for its share in the JV. In addition, incremental consideration would become payable under an earn-out structure (the "Earnout") in the event that Eurasia decides to proceed to develop the Additional Assets. ---- EARNOUT STRUCTURE being the key words
- The decision on whether to proceed and thereby incur all or part of the Earnout is wholly at the discretion of Eurasia. The Earnout (if Eurasia decides to proceed) will be spread over the period of the development of the Additional Assets.
- The decision on whether to proceed and thereby incur all or part of the Earnout is wholly at the discretion of Eurasia. The Earnout (if Eurasia decides to proceed) will be spread over the period of the development of the Additional Assets. Eurasia has 24 months in which to decide whether to select some or all of the assets to develop. If Eurasia determines not to proceed with any assets, no consideration would be due beyond the Initial Consideration.
The Additional Assets have a total of 104.6 Moz Platinum equivalent resources as at 31.12.2020 (source: Russian Feasibility Study ("FS"), TsNIGRI, Russian State Cadastre of Mines) according to the Russian standards and are comprised of:
· Four palladium, platinum, copper, nickel and cobalt open pit deposits, upon which Russian FS completed and reserves (according to the Russian standards) approved by the Russian State Committee of Reserves (GKZ).
Each of the four open pit deposits, which are located directly adjacent to Monchetundra, have already been studied by Eurasia with block modelling and open pits' optimisations performed by the Company. According to the due diligence done by Eurasia, the ores are suitable for toll treatment over distances of 5 to 8km with beneficiation and mineral processing at the proposed plant site between the Company's open pit deposits at Loipishnune and West Nittis.
· A further five mostly open pit palladium, platinum, copper, nickel and cobalt assets are included in the JV, where Eurasia has carried out due diligence including c.20km of exploration drilling and some 12 thousand sam
