Chairman's Statement
Dear Shareholder,
As announced in the Annual Report,
which was published earlier in this month of September, the first
six months of 2024 reflected the maintenance of the Company's
assets in good standing while continuing with our possible asset
sale process.
At West Kytlim, low level work and
maintenance required to comply with the regulations continued. The
PGM concentrate inventory stockpile continues to be stored in a
secure facility with some additional material generated from the
required compliance. High grades of Osmium (c.2% Osmium metal
content in the PGM concentrate) were discovered recently through
several tests of 3 representative samples selected from over 6Koz
of concentrate by internationally certified laboratory Anserteko.
The discovery of high grades of Osmium leads to significant
increase of the value of the existing PGM concentrate inventory, as
well as the significant increase of the in-situ value of the
reserves and resources of the West Kytlim mine and its revenue
generation potential.
At Monchetundra, work in preparation
for mine construction neared completion and the advancing of NKT
tier-1 (according to Wardell Armstrong
International, please refer to RNS dated 16 December 2021)
brownfield asset continued.
Post period end, in September the
Company entered into a trade finance facility to provide additional
liquidity in addition to the stored metal concentrates. As
described in the Company's announcement dated 6 September 2024, the
facility will provide up to £2.5 million to the Company in tranches
upon certain milestones being achieved, and is convertible by the
lender at an average conversion price of 2.7 pence per share, being
a premium to the current share price.
The Company continues to monitor the
sanction regimes in the US, UK and EU to ensure ongoing compliance.
The Company remains satisfied that its activities are not
prohibited under the sanctions' rules.
Our strategy continues to focus
primarily on the potential sale of the Company's assets in Russia,
being the West Kytlim operating mine, the Monchetundra Project
mining license, the NKT brownfield project and the entitlement to
the Nyud brownfield project. The Company remains committed to this
possible sale and, as ever, there can be no guarantee that Eurasia
will enter into binding agreements regarding the sale
process.
We are grateful to our shareholders
for their continued support and I look forward to providing
information regarding our forthcoming AGM.

Provision is made for the cost of

risk-free discount rate of from 14.66% to 16.67% (2023: 12.01% to
12.61%) depending on the commitment terms, attributed to the

carried down its operations on by the end of the reporting period.
Timing is stipulated by the forestry permits issued at the

the long-term provision recognised by 30 June 2024 will be incurred
within 2025-2040.
