Eurasia Mining PLC (AIM:EUA) has reiterated that it expects no impact on its operations from western sanctions imposed on Russia.
The miner, which has operations in Russia producing palladium, platinum, rhodium, iridium and gold, has seen its share price tumble 60% over the past week as the hostilities have escalated.
Eurasia said that after reviewing the sanction measures announced so far it does not expect operations to be affected
No individual or entity identified in the sanctions is associated with the company in any way, it added.
Furthermore, Eurasia said it has no bank accounts with Russian state-owned banks or any relationship with any Russian state-owned banks.
Products are sold in the domestic market at prices with a market discount to the London Metal Exchange prices fixed in US dollars, it said, while the costs are mainly fixed in roubles so a weakening Russian exchange rate helps profitability.
“The sanctions do not prevent the company from executing on its strategy as announced,” Eurasia’s statement added.
Earlier this month, the miner said it was splitting its platinum interests (PGMs) into a separate entity called Kola Mining.
The subsidiary separates its PGMs from the group’s core nickel interests.
