#EUA – Kola Peninsula Resources

” As announced via RNS of 26 March 2021, Eurasia signed a binding agreement to create a joint venture with Rosgeo in which Eurasia will own a 75% equity stake in nine PGM and battery metals assets (four of which are post Russian Feasibility Study with state approved reserves) with a total of 104.6Moz of Platinum equivalent Russian Code reserves and resources in the immediate vicinity of the Company’s Monchetundra Project in the Kola Peninsula “

So the 9 areas mentioned in recent RNS, where are they, what are they called, more importantly, what do they actually contain ?

Key questions

  • Which of the many areas on Kola is included in the JV ?
  • Is the 104.6Moz Platinum equivalent for PGM only – are base metals separate?
  • How much overlap with the existing 5km exclusivity zone ?

This page will update as the research team on Telegram uncovers more information from Rosgeo, Rosnedra, Tsnigri and other academic papers on the region.

The intention would be to underpin estimates with accurate information and explain where the ~$150bn in-situ resources are located. *prices as of 16.6.21

Now that Wardell Armstrong International are on the case, it shouldn’t be too much longer at time of writing before these numbers are verified. We will need to wait for a JORC report to learn how much is in the proven/probably category instead of inferred, but the size of the area isn’t in dispute now.
