If this were simply a warrant pushing excersize you would not appoint the following A team to conduct negotiations.
The Board of Eurasia Mining plc is pleased to announce the appointment of Anthony James Nieuwenhuys as an non-executive director of the Company with immediate effect. James has held senior positions including Chief Operating Officer at Polyus Gold, and is currently Chief Executive Officer at South African Lesego Platinum Mining Limited. James has also held senior positions at a number of other key EPC organisations, so the directors believe that the appointment of Mr. Nieuwenhuys will be a great addition to the board.
Currently, Anthony James Nieuwenhuys occupies the position of Chief Executive Officer & Director at Lesego Platinum Mining Ltd. and Chief Operating Officer for Polyus Krasnoyarsk JSC. Mr. Nieuwenhuys is also on the board of Eurasia Mining Plc and Vysochaishy OAO.
In the past Mr. Nieuwenhuys was Director at Polyus PJSC and Chief Operating Officer at Polyus Gold International Ltd.
Eurasia is pleased to announce the appointment of Alexander Vasilievich Sushchev (PhD in metallurgy) as strategic adviser to the Board. Alexander is a former Chief Executive Officer of SMCM (molybdenum and rhenium metals producer, that he helped sell to a company affiliated with Rusal) as well as former manager of Norilsk Nickel, the world's largest palladium producer. Alexander will be working closely with the Directors of Eurasia, Mr Alexei Churakov as well as with the banks as the Company is working on a potential disposal of the Company's assets as announced on 24 October 2019. There can, however, be no guarantee that any transaction will occur.
Alexander will not receive a salary for his role. However, it is noted that Alexander will receive 10% share in Deloan Investments Limited ("Deloan"), a Company owned and controlled by Dmitry Suschov (Director of the Company), which holds a 10.42% interest in the Company. This will help avoid the dilution of the shareholders and will allow the right success oriented motivation of Alexander.
