Morning ChickenLover,
I think your description of being mentally scared is a good one ....
No one foresaw this current predicament before it actually happened, although some might like to think they did....
What we knew immediately after the war broke out was:-
The company has not caused this out-of-the-blue spanner in the works, that was purely down to Putin,
The company has NO current sanctions and is carrying on with the day job as usual whilst this all goes on around it!
It has NO money in sanctioned Russian banks,
It employs Russian people,
It pays Russian taxes and dues,
Its mined PGM's and other resources are sold in-country,
So business as usual, also a sale of some assets to a BRICS country has been announced,
And previously joint ventures with Rosgo have been announced over up to nine more mines!
Everything was going swimmingly before Putin started his one-man war on Ukraine,
The world NEEDS what this company and its mines have,
Money talks, war's end .....
Just praying this happens sometime soon, not only for my investment here but for the poor Ukrainian people who are fighting for their lives on our doorstep in Europe,
Good luck to us all in this mad world...
Morning Kammy,
Thank you for your kind words of support, it has been hard for us to come to terms with the share price collapse since Putin did what he did when everything for the company was going so well before.
You stay safe and well too,
Kind regards
Ian
CTC, very true I panicked after Putin invaded and sold out, trying to make a quick buck put my money into something else on the way up ..... and lost a huge amount!
Bought back in with what little money I had left ..... Currently, only 250,000 EUA shares are all I can afford, sad but true ...
Good Luck Okfornow ... (Nick) :-) I hope the Plymouth is still running well
Regards
Ian
I forgot to say my dear wife continually reminds me of the day I was thinking of selling some and my heart overruled my head and so I stayed fully invested ....
Her words were ...... "How Much Money Do You Need" ..... " You Know What The Stock Market Is Like "
Oh, How True .......
Good luck to us all
I still hold this stock by the way ....
Morning Rattie,
Thanks for your reply, I only wish I had taken the US intelligence view that he was about to start a ww3 and invade Ukrain more seriously, we even had some relations staying with my inlaws at the time who normally worked in Ukrainian and on holiday over here and they did not think Putin would go ahead, and it was all bluster .....
We were all proved wrong, they were on their phones calling home all night long and left the next day to go back home.
Glad you are keeping well and have after all these years made some money here,
That old adage ..... " A Bird in the Hand is worth Two in the Bush " .... comes to mind.
At 40p I should have walked away because I had already amassed a small fortune by investing here, more than all the money I had earned during my working lifetime, But, I got greedy with all the good news the Company was releasing and decided to stay invested ..... A Big Mistake in hindsight and one I will have to live with!
Take care and stay well,
All the best
Ian
Evening Rattie,
Good to hear from you and I hope you are keeping well, giving up that awful smoking habit 76-odd years ago must go a long way to have helped you to stay well :-)
You have been a very long-term investor in EUA for some 12 years now I believe, may I ask, were you still holding EUA shares when Putin invaded Ukrain after him saying he was not going to, did you foresee and derisk, or did you think it was all bluster on his part and a very unlikely scenario ....
Just curious as I certainly did not think Putin would do what he did and put his country back 30 years, as I say just curious from your perspective as a very long-term shareholder and one who was also in the forces many years ago...
Just making small talk on a Sunday evening,
All the best and take care,
Regards Ian.

"The hydrogen thing with EUA is a pipe dream and a distraction-you can extract hydrogen from the water coming out of a tap!"
We ALL know that, ... BUT ... what precious metal do you need to make the anodes and cathodes for an electrolysis cell out of?
When I was at school it was Platinum .....
Just saying......
Morning Les,
Good to hear from you and I hope you and Angie enjoyed your holiday in Scotland last year,
I hope Angie is still able to get out and about, our thoughts are with you and wish her well from us on here.
Kindest regards
Ian
Good morning all,
Our poster SeaSick requested this date as it is his 50th Birthday today,
So Happy Birthday to you SeaSick and I hope this finds you well and that you have a lovely day!
On the point of .... IF ONLY WE HAD SOLD THESE SHARES AT 40p ....
Without going over old ground as to why we are where we are with this stock,
And nothing derogatory is intended for the persons mentioned,
If we feel sick for what we have missed out on because of Putin and his war machine currently decimating the share price,
Spare a thought for Anders and Phil, who were sitting on massive profits at the time, and they also decided to stay invested because they also expected a sale price to be much higher than the at the time, share price...
So try not to think .... Why did I not sell at 40p,
It will only start to cut you up and make your life miserable,
In my eyes, there is nothing wrong with the company that is getting on with the day job and even growing,
I don't blame the company for anything, as it may all come good for shareholders in the future,
We were all caught out by Putin's actions and thought the sale was in a more advanced stage than it actually was!
Now just a waiting game,
Good luck everyone, I've had a year of cutting myself up over this and it has gotten me nowhere,
So try not to blame yourself we are all currently in the same boat and human,
Stay safe and well everyone,
Cheers.
We don't know the final outcome here yet so we shouldn't prejudge ....
We know the buyer had completed their due diligence and from the RNS assume happy to progress,
We saw the company was getting on with the day job, buying more plant and machinery,
We saw they built three more wash plants,
We say they were applying for more licences,
We saw they had an option over nine more mine areas that the company took a two-year option over,
We saw that the company was going to install a massive dragline Crain to increase output and have green credentials to boot.
We saw that the company was approached from outside to see if it wanted to sell some of its assets,
There were so many good points for investing in this company at the time,
Only Putin and his war machine have put a spanner in the works....
We have been informed that the prospective buyer is from a BRICS country,
The company is not under any sanctions presently, and why should it,
The Directors and senior staff own 20% of the company,
We will have to see what pans out in the future before we can say anything negative about the company,
Currently, the company operates in the wrong place .... And this is due only to Putin and his war machine,
Back to hindsight, and if only I had sold at 35 - 40p
But with the talk of EUA v2 and future dividends, our hearts overruled our heads....
The traders have won so far,
The investors, NOT so much,
Still holding, but think greed may have played a part here!
Good luck everyone,
Can only blame Putin, or yourself if greedy,
Or both in my case :-)
Good Health everyone,
Cheers.
Morning Bumble,
Very well said, I certainly did think a sale would go through and at a higher price than the share price.
And if it didn't we did have a fallback plan with funding (Sinosteel)
I did not take Putin seriously enough, I thought why would anyone harm their own county and put them back 30 years...
I was wrong..... and by that time the share price was way down,
I never planned for that contingency :-(
We are where we are, and we can only hold or sell or bottom draw till this war ends.
Good luck everyone, hindsight is a wonderful thing ...
Where has all the money gone .... seems to be the derampers line of thought ...
May I offer up some costly things that the company has achieved recently that might explain the expenditure!
From the recent RNS:-
- Grid electric power is now available at site with the power line construction completed, the high voltage substation construction completed, and all necessary peripherals completed and commissioned.
- Electric dragline (70m/11m3) is now fully assembled and is under final high voltage electrical testing and the contractual 72-hour continuous performance test.
- Eurasia's electric dragline operators have had on the job training during the circa one year-long assembly period. Another training programme has just been completed.
- A late season infill drilling programme to determine the final 2023 mine design has been completed.
Only a suggestion :-)
Not trying to start an argument ....
Happy New Year :-)
Good morning all,
I hope you all had lovely New Year celebrations and have lost that headache .... if you just happened to have overindulged :-)
Today's first guess of 2023 is ..... 99Treble ..... and Happy belated Birthday for Sunday the 1st of January.
Good luck everyone for 2023 .....
Off-Topic!
My mate Clive who is one of the Thursday Breakfast Club has had a bad start already to the New Year,
Three Scumbags stole his mid-blue FORD Fiesta yesterday morning at 3 am,
It took them just 30 seconds to gain entry via the boot, they then climbed over the seats and into the front,
After another 2.5 minutes, the car is started and all three scumbags drive off in Clive's car,
All this is captured on video from his security cam above the front door,
The reg is GJ65 RPO, will he ever see it again? ..... who knows, but 2023 hasn't had a very good start for Clive,
Everyone on Facebook .... Just add /clive.bruce.169/videos/860926775028845/ after the . com to see his car being stolen in under three minutes, and if you have any information or see the car anywhere about please get in touch.
Good luck everyone,
Cheers.
I just popped in to wish everyone here a very Happy New Year and a prosperous 2023,
I myself will not be staying up to see in the new year as I have caught this cold that is doing the rounds, it starts off with a tickly cough without the typical sore throat first and then develops into a full-blown cold.
My nice warm bed awaits, have a good one all,
Cheers
Ian.
Good morning all,
Today's hopeful, the last before Christmas is -
----------
RailwayPete - 23/12/22
----------
Good luck Pete,
I hope you are all keeping well at this time of year with all the colds and flu that are about,
We come to Christmas 2022 knowing that EUA are still working hard carrying out the day job and highlights from the latest RNS:-
- Total production for the 2022 season is approximately 200kg of raw platinum concentrate (up 77% from 113kg in 2021) from the Bolshaya Sosnovka and Kluchiki areas with a total average grade of 363mg/m3 and a notable high-grade seam at Kluchiki providing 3.7kg raw platinum from just 3,800m3 of gravels (grading 984mg/m3).
- Grid electric power is now available at the site with the power line construction completed, the high voltage substation construction completed, and all necessary peripherals completed and commissioned.
- Electric dragline (70m/11m3) is now fully assembled and is under final high voltage electrical testing and the contractual 72-hour continuous performance test.
The dragline operates with a 70m boom and 11 m3 bucket and has a designed earth-moving capacity of around 150,000 m3 per month. The machine is intended to replace several diesel-powered excavator-bulldozer combinations and all of the stripping capacity contracted out for the 2022 mining season and is also less limited in terms of stripping depth.
Some photographic updates of the dragline in a final state of assembly are available to view on the Company's website via: https://www.eurasiamining.co.uk/operations/west-kytlim
This is an excellent update for investors in EUA, considering, what is going on all around.
After today's trading session closes it will resume next Wednesday the 28th of December.
Do have a lovely Christmas everyone, where ever you may be in the world,
Here is my (recycled from 2020) Christmas card to you all, times are getting hard:-) so ignore the wording as it is well out of date!
