FINAL AUDITED RESULTS

FOR THE YEAR 31 DECEMBER 2012

Eurasia Mining plc ("Eurasia" or "the Company"), announces its final audited results for the year ended 31 December 2012.

Chairman's statement

I am pleased to report to you an important milestone in the development of the Company that has occurred since the end of the period under review. This was the confirmation of the increase in reserves at Eurasia's West Kytlim alluvial platinum project. We believe this increase is sufficient to sustain mining at multiple sites and could allow full production to be achieved sooner than originally anticipated. In Kola, the extension of the licence for a further year also allows the Company to complete drilling and lodge an application for the registration of a reserve and the issue of a discovery certificate.

West Kytlim

Since the end of the period under review the Company has announced the increase in the approved reserves at the West Kytlim alluvial platinum project, the licence of which is held by UAP. Most of this increase came from exploration drilling for extensions of the Tylai-Kosvinsky Placer along the terraces of the Tylai and Kosva Rivers and their tributaries over an approximate length of 18 kilometres.

Since 2010, detailed traverse drilling for the confirmation and approval of additional reserves has been conducted on terraces near the junction of the Tylai and Kosva Rivers, and also in a tributary and terraces of the Tylai River immediately to the North and South of the discovery area of Bolshaya Sosnovka. In 2012, reserve drilling was extended to the western Tylai terraces.

Up to the end of 2012, the total reserves identified in these areas totalled 1,689 kgs of raw platinum, as confirmed by the Urals Branch of the Federal Agency for Natural Resources, and as set out in the announcement of 12 April and 10 May, 2013.  It should be noted that these Estimates are C2 Reserves as defined by the national Russian standard on mining and minerals as published by the National Certification Body of the Russian Federation. For data to be included under this standard the Russian State or Federal body must approve it.

Significant areas explored remain to be detailed with more close-spaced drilling and this work will form part of the 2013-14 work programmes. The exploration licence has been extended to the end of 2014 to allow this work to be completed.

The results of ongoing resource conversion work on the licence area means that the current approved C2 reserves now considerably exceed the requirement for a single start-up operation, creating the opportunity to achieve rapid scale up using multiple sites in the future mining operation. The Company still waits the granting of a production licence for mining, now expanded to include the new reserves.

Monchetundra

A new broadly stratabound mineralization, dipping at 10-30°, was discovered at West Nittis by the UAP in 2010 that consists of sulphide mineralization containing base metals with PGM. This drilling also identified separate near-surface high-grade (PGM) mineralization above the West Nittis zone. This zone will be the focus of further drilling to be carried out in the summer of 2013, with a view to outlining a resource that can be submitted to the authorities for approval and discovery certification to Russian reserve standards. I am hopeful that this project will develop into a significant asset in the near term.

Kamushanovsky

Towards the end of 2012, discussions were underway with a third party to acquire a majority stake in this uranium venture in which the Company holds a minority stake. Eurasia, through its subsidiary Energy Resources Asia Limited, is awaiting the results of these discussions to ascertain the best option for optimising the investment in this project.
