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 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.
