Long Post so apologies for that!
The FSP is taking a while and leads to nervousness amongst investors. I took a read back on the recent news from EUA to try and get a handle on our direction and possible outcomes from the FSP. It reinforced my belief that this is a once in a lifetime opportunity to be involved in a historically huge deal that may not be very far from coming to fruition.
I always look for the clues from the company and these things start to add up. The story is beginning to reveal itself. Eurasia is in the process of moving from small prospector with a reasonably large find, to owner and developer of a globally significant mind-boggling district of rare metals that’s importance is vital for the development of tomorrow’s technologies and therefore will only increase in value. We now control huge deposits, vastly bigger than was announced not so long ago. The company is now a major force in the area rather than the small prospector we used to be. The race is on to control such assets by not only companies but countries. I believe that when EUA has put all the pieces in place the resulting sale will dwarf the recent deals by which EUA has been benchmarked.

Tamerlan Abdikeev has already added significant value by bringing interested parties from Japan, that are keen to secure PGM deposits. Tamerlan founded INVERO Advisors, an investment, strategy consultancy and M&A boutique focusing on private equity, project finance, global strategy, business development and cross-border M&A.
Japan, a top 4 region in terms of PGM demand in 2020 according to Johnson Matthey, has an ambition to get the leadership position as a hydrogen focused economy
Reputable members of Japan’s business community related to PGM are in discussion to join Tamerlan at Eurasia Japan.
Tamerlan has introduced several Asian companies interested in working with Eurasia, including a Japanese US$21b net revenue company, that is already present in a PGM mining asset.
…developing a new global district for PGM and battery metals mining on Kola.
Monchetundra hosts 1.9Moz PGM reserves and resources within the approved mining permit and a further 13Moz in Eurasia’s adjacent license. In addition, further predominantly open pit deposits exist in the Monchegorsk region and host 104.6Moz of Platinum equivalent Russian Code reserves and resources that are now part of the Rosgeo JV.
The Directors are confident that the ability to allot securities and demonstrate a capacity to develop the Kola PGM and battery metals district independently of other strategic options available to the Company benefits the Company and its Shareholders by improving Eurasia’s negotiating position.

The agreement with Rosgeo, which by expanding Eurasia’s open pit assets both in palladium, platinum and in battery metals by a total of 104.6 Moz Platinum equivalent resources, unlocks a number of additional opportunities for the Company and its shareholders. we look forward to working with Rosgeo, a global company with renowned proficient technical capabilities and the best partner we could have in Russia, as we are making progress on the strategic options available to the Company.
