EMX EMX Royalty Corporation

Eurasian Minerals Inc. (TSX VENTURE:EMX)(NYSE MKT:EMXX) (the "Company" or "EMX")
is pleased to announce the acquisition of an uncapped 0.5% net smelter return
("NSR") royalty covering Reservoir Minerals Inc.'s ("Reservoir" or "RMC") share
of minerals and metals mined from the "Brestovac" and "Jasikovo East" properties
in Serbia. These properties occur in the Timok Magmatic Complex, and are
included in the Timok Project joint venture between Reservoir (45%) and
Freeport-McMoRan Exploration Corp. ("Freeport") (55%). The Brestovac property
hosts porphyry and epithermal copper-gold mineralization at the Cukaru Peki
discovery, and the Jasikovo East property occurs to the north in the Timok
copper-gold belt. Reservoir recently announced an initial NI 43-101 compliant
resource estimate for the Cukaru Peki deposit. EMX congratulates Reservoir and
Freeport on achieving this important milestone, as well as their continuing
Timok Project exploration successes. 


EMX's royalty acquisition complements the Company's existing royalty portfolio
in Serbia, which includes the "Brestovac West" property located adjacent to
Brestovac. Together, EMX's Brestovac and Brestovac West royalty properties
comprise RMC's Brestovac-Metovnica exploration permit. EMX's consolidation of
the Brestovac, Brestovac West, and Jasikovo East Timok royalty properties
strategically positions the Company to participate in ongoing discoveries in one
of the richest copper-gold mineral belts in Europe. 


EMX's Timok Royalty Properties. The Brestovac and Jasikovo East (Durlan Potok)
royalty was purchased from Euromax Resources Ltd. in 2013 for CAD $200,000. The
0.5% NSR royalty is proportionately reduced to RMC's interest in the properties
as Freeport earns-in by making exploration expenditures under the circumstances
provided in the NSR agreement. The two royalty properties covered by the NSR
agreement, along with the Company's existing "Brestovac West" royalty property
(2% NSR on gold and silver and 1% NSR on all other minerals), occur adjacent to
and along trend from the world-class copper-gold mines of eastern Serbia's
Bor-Majdanpek mining complex. 


Reservoir reported an initial resource estimate for the Cukaru Peki deposit's
High Sulphidation Epithermal (HSE) zone of copper-gold mineralization in a
January 27, 2014 news release. According to Reservoir, the HSE inferred resource
above a 1% copper equivalent (CuEq% = Cu% + (Au g/t x 0.6)) cut-off was
estimated to be "65.3 million tonnes (Mt) at an average grade of 2.6% copper and
1.5 grams per tonne (g/t) gold, or 3.5% copper-equivalent, containing 1.7
million tonnes (3.8 billion pounds) copper and 3.1 million ounces gold or 2.3
million tonnes (5.1 billion pounds) copper-equivalent." Reservoir stated that
the underlying porphyry type mineralization had not been modeled or included in
the resource estimate "due to the lack of drill data and geometrical
understanding."


RMC also commented on the project's upside exploration potential: "The extent of
the associated porphyry copper-gold mineralization has not been determined and
remains an important target for further definition drilling. Reconnaissance
drilling elsewhere in the Brestovac-Metovnica Exploration Permit continues to
intersect alteration and mineralization that provides encouragement for further
discovery within the permit area." Reservoir remarked that the discovery at
Cukaru Peki "demonstrates the potential for additional blind discoveries within
the Timok Magmatic Complex."


EMX's Brestovac West royalty property is just 700 meters west of the Cukaru Peki
discovery, and contains the Corridor Zone high-grade gold prospect and the
Ogashu Kucajna epithermal gold occurrence. These targets illustrate the
exploration potential described by Reservoir, and underscore the upside of EMX's
Timok Project royalty holdings. Brestovac West was conveyed by an earlier
agreement between EMX and Reservoir (see EMX news release dated October 30,
2006).


Other EMX Royalty Portfolio Properties in Serbia. EMX also holds interests in
the Deli Jovan, Plavkovo and Stara Planina royalty properties, sold to Reservoir
in 2006 along with Brestovac West. As with Brestovac West, the terms of the sale
for these other properties include uncapped NSR royalties payable to EMX at a
rate of 2% for gold and silver, and 1% for all other metals.




--  Deli Jovan is located in eastern Serbia, and covers an eight kilometer
    trend of shear-hosted mesothermal gold veins that include the historic
    Gindusa and Rusman gold mines. The property is in joint venture with AIM
    listed Orogen Gold Plc.  
    
--  Plavkovo occurs in southwest Serbia's Vardar Zone of epithermal and
    porphyry copper mineralization, and hosts outcropping gold-copper
    mineralization within an 800 meter long, east-west trending zone. 
    
--  Stara Planina hosts auriferous polymetallic vein and intrusion-related
    gold-copper targets. There was minor historic production from this
    mineralization in the 20th century.

EMX Prospect Generation and Royalty Growth Business Models. EMX's initial
portfolio of precious and base metal royalty properties in Serbia resulted from
early stage prospect generation and subsequent organic royalty growth via the
sale of the portfolio to Reservoir in 2006. The Company's Timok Project JV
royalty properties add strategic upside potential in an ongoing copper-gold
discovery funded and aggressively being explored by Freeport, and occurring in
the world-class Bor-Majdanpek district. 


About EMX. Eurasian is a global gold and copper exploration company utilizing a
partnership business model to explore the world's most promising and
underexplored mineral belts. Eurasian generates wealth via grassroots prospect
generation, strategic acquisition and royalty growth.
