Kluevsky Results

Eurasia Mining PLC 22 November 2001 EURASIA MINING RELEASES FURTHER DRILL RESULTS FROM KLUEVSKY Eurasia Mining PLC is pleased to announce new results from Kluevsky drilling received this week. Drill hole K9 has intersected 10.56 meters assaying 3.56 grams per tonne (g/t) platinum group metals plus gold. This is over three times the grade of the discovery drill holes K3 and K4 and well within the grade and thickness objective targeted by Eurasia for open pit mining. The Kluevsky anomaly that these drill holes investigated is located on the 380 square kilometre Baronskoye/Baranchinsky licence block in the Russian Urals. The results of K3 and K4 and a description of the target concept were released on 28 September. K3 and K4 tested the southern margins of the 500 m by 100 m Palladium in Soil Anomaly. They intersected respectively 11.5 and 35.9 m assaying + 1 g/t palladium plus gold. Another hole from which results were recently received, K8, which was drilled to test the ground underneath K3 and K4, intersected 30.6 meters at 0.76 g/t palladium plus gold, with individual assays to 1.24g/t, commencing from the surface. The results from this hole, combined with recently interpreted gravity data, suggest the higher grade mineralisation plunges to the North. All these holes have intersected a broad lower grade halo at the southern extremity of the anomalous area. Drill hole K9 tested ground near the centre of the anomaly adjacent to a fault that may well have constituted a channel through which mineralisation was brought into the brecciated and altered rocks. Part of the significance of hole K9 is that it establishes that the concepts being used by Eurasia in this area are correct. In the sequence from K1 and K2 to K3 and K4 then finally to K9 we have seen first a doubling and then a further tripling of grade as the mineralisation has been tracked towards its inferred source. Quite apart from defining the potential of the Kluevsky deposit, which must now be grid drilled to establish the economic potential; K9 establishes the significance of the entire complex that occupies most of the Baronskoye/Baranchinsky licence. Preliminary data from this year's sampling has defined additional anomalous areas that will need to be tested. Full results of the K9 intersection are as follows:- KLUEVSKY Assay (g/t) HOLE K9 From To Length (m) Au Pt Pd PGE + AuTotal 27.3 28.4 1.10 0.62 0.11 3.98 4.70 28.4 29.9 1.50 0.64 0.09 2.66 3.39 29.9 31.13 1.23 0.40 0.05 1.59 2.03 31.13 32.00 0.87 0.88 0.17 6.24 7.28 32.0 32.90 0.90 0.28 0.03 0.82 1.13 32.9 34.4 1.50 0.33 0.08 2.01 2.42 34.4 35.9 1.50 0.12 0.06 1.90 2.08 35.9 37.35 1.45 1.30 0.09 2.64 4.03 37.35 37.86 0.51 2.00 0.05 7.68 9.75 TOTAL 27.3 37.86 10.56 0.64 0.08 2.85 3.57 The results for additional drill holes in and around the anomaly are still awaited. Bill Anderson, Operations Director, Eurasia Mining said: 'Results from K9 represent a major advance in the realization of the potential of the Kluevsky Area. It is certainly the best intersection we have obtained to date in Russia and we look forward to further results from our ongoing work programme'.
