In the group’s interim results today, Eurasia underlined a year of solid, if understated, progress. The company continued with drilling at its hard rock PGM exploration interests in the Kola Peninsula and advancement of its alluvial project in the Urals. Both projects are held in joint venture with Anglo Platinum.
Specifically, Eurasia confirmed that additional drilling is underway at Monchetundra in the Kola, where the goal is to define a maiden resource.
At Volchetundra, drilling and exploration has indentified potential mineralisation over a 40 kilometre strike. Drilling to date has uncovered low grade PGM zones, but has also highlighted a new zone of interest. Eurasia confirmed last week that it had extended its licence for a further three years.
Looking ahead, Eurasia’s joint venture with Anglo Platinum will reach its first milestone. Anglo is expended to reach the required US$10 million in exploration in the near term, giving it a 40% interest in the Kola projects. Anglo will also have to decide whether it wishes to acquire a further 20% interest within 60 days.
In the Urals at West Kytlim, Eurasia has continued drilling several new areas in parallel to resource drilling in the Bolshaya Sosvnovka area. A Russian feasibility study has been submitted and approved by the authorities. The commencement of mining is currently expected to take place in 2009, subject to permitting.
