hornblende, and/or pyroxene.
Dike: a tabular igneous intrusion that cuts across the bedding or foliation of the country (host) rock, generally vertical in
nature.
Doré: a mixture of predominantly gold and silver produced by a mine, usually in a bar form, before separation and refining
into gold and silver by a refinery.
Epithermal: said of a hydrothermal mineral deposit formed within about 1 kilometer of the Earth’s surface and in the
temperature range of 50oC to 200oC.
Foliation: repetitive layering in metamorphic rocks.
Footwall: the underlying side of a fault, ore body, or mine working; particularly the wall rock beneath an inclined vein or
fault.
Formation: a persistent body of igneous, sedimentary, or metamorphic rock, having easily recognizable boundaries that can
be traced in the field without recourse to detailed paleontologic or petrologic analysis, and large enough to be represented on
a geologic map as a practical or convenient unit for mapping and description.
Gneiss: a type of rock formed by high-grade regional metamorphic processes from pre-existing formations of igneous or
sedimentary rocks.
Granitoid: pertaining to or composed of granite.
Granodiorite: a group of plutonic rocks intermediate in composition between quartz diorite and quartz monzonite.
Greenfields: conceptual exploration; relying on the predictive power of ore genesis models to search for mineralization in
unexplored virgin ground.
Hanging wall: the overlying side of an ore body, fault, or mine working, especially the wall rock above an inclined vein or
fault.
Hornfels: a fine-grained rock composed of a mosaic of equidimensional grains without preferred orientation and typically
formed by contact metamorphism.
3
Hydrothermal: of or pertaining to hot water, to the action of hot water, or to the products of this action, such as a mineral
deposit precipitated from a hot aqueous solution, with or without demonstrable association with igneous processes.
Igneous rock: rock that is magmatic in origin.
Indicated mineral resource: is defined in NI 43-101 as that part of a mineral resource for which quantity, grade or quality,
densities, shape and physical characteristics can be estimated with a level of confidence sufficient to allow the appropriate
application of technical and economic parameters to support mine planning and evaluation of the economic viability of the
deposit. The estimate is based on detailed and reliable exploration and test information gathered through appropriate
techniques from locations such as outcrops, trenches, pits, workings and drill holes that are spaced closely enough for
geological and grade continuity to be reasonably assumed.
Inferred mineral resource: is defined in NI 43-101 as that part of a mineral resource for which the quantity and grade or
quality can be estimated on the basis of geological evidence and limited sampling and reasonably assumed, but not verified,
geological and grade continuity. The estimate is based on limited information and sampling gathered through appropriate
techniques from locations such as outcrops, trenches, pits, workings and drill holes.
Intercalated: said of layered material that exists or is introduced between layers of a different character; especially said of
relatively thin strata of one kind of material that alternates with thicker strata of some other kind, such as beds of shale
intercalated in a body of sandstone.
Kriging: a weighted, moving-average interpolation method in which the set of weights assigned to samples minimizes the
estimation variance, which is computed as a function of the variogram model and locations of the samples relative to each
other, and to the point or block being estimated.
Leach: to dissolve minerals or metals out of ore with chemicals.
Lithocap: the shallow part of porphyry copper systems typically above the main Cu-Au/-Mo zone; upper alteration zone.
Measured mineral resource: is defined in NI 43-101 as that part of a mineral resource for which quantity, grade or quality,
densities, shape and physical characteristics are so well established that they can be estimated with confidence sufficient to
allow the appropriate application of technical and economic parameters to support production planning and evaluation of the
economic viability of the deposit. The estimate is based on detailed and reliable exploration, sampling and testing
information gathered through appropriate techniques from locations such as outcrops, trenches, pits, workings and drill holes
that are spaced closely enough to confirm both geological and grade continuity.
Meta: a prefix that, when used with the name of a sedimentary or igneous rock, indicates that the rock has been
metamorphosed.
Metamorphic rock: rock which has been changed from igneous or sedimentary rock through heat and pressure into a new
form of rock.
Mineral reserve: is defined in NI 43-101 as the economically mineable part of a measured or indicated mineral resource
demonstrated by at least a preliminary feasibility study. This study must include adequate information on mining, processing,
metallurgical, economic and other relevant factors that demonstrate, at the time of reporting, that economic extraction can be
justified. A mineral reserve includes diluting materials and allowances for losses that may occur when the material is mined.
Mineral resource: is defined in NI 43-101 as a concentration or occurrence (deposit) of natural, solid, inorganic or fossilized
organic material in or on the earth’s crust in such form and quantity and of such a grade or quality that it has reasonable
prospects for economic extraction. The location, quantity, grade, geological characteristics and continuity of a mineral
resource are known, estimated or interpreted from specific geological evidence and knowledge.
Net smelter return royalty or NSR royalty: a type of royalty based on a percentage of the proceeds, net of smelting,
refining and transportation costs and penalties, from the sale of metals extracted from concentrate and doré by the smelter or
refinery.
NI 43-101: National Instrument 43-101 Standards of Disclosure for Mineral Projects of the Canadian Securities
Administrators.

Oxide: a compound of ore that has been subjected to weathering and alteration as a result of exposure to oxygen for a long
period of time.
Pegmatite: a very coarse-grained igneous rock that has a grain size of 20 millimetres or more.
Phyllite: a regional metamorphic rock, intermediate in grade between slate and schist. Minute crystals of sericite and chlorite
impart a silky sheen to the surfaces exposed by cleavage.
Plagioclase: a series of tectosilicate minerals within the feldspar family.
Plutonic: intrusive igneous rock that is crystallized from magma slowly cooling below the surface of the Earth.
Porphyry: igneous rock consisting of large-grained crystals dispersed in a fine-grained matrix or groundmass.
Probable reserve: the economically mineable part of an indicated and, in some circumstances, a measured mineral resource
demonstrated by at least a preliminary feasibility study. This study must include adequate information on mining, processing,
metallurgical, economic and other relevant factors that demonstrate, at the time of reporting, that economic extraction can be
justified.
Pyroclastic: pertaining to clastic rock material formed by volcanic explosion or aerial expulsion from a volcanic vent; also,
pertaining to rock texture of explosive origin.
Run-of-mine: ore in its natural state as it is removed from the mine that has not been subjected to additional size reduction.
Schist: a strongly foliated crystalline rock, which readily splits into sheets or slabs as a result of the planar alignment of the
constituent crystals. The constituent minerals are commonly specified (e.g. “quartz-muscovite-chlorite schist”).
Shear zone: a tabular zone of rock that has been crushed and brecciated by parallel fractures due to “shearing” along a fault
or zone of weakness. These can be mineralized with ore-forming solutions.
Silicification: the introduction of, or replacement by, silica, generally resulting in the formation of fine-grained quartz,
chalcedony, or opal, which may fill pores and replace existing minerals.
Spectrography: the process of using a spectrograph to map or photograph a spectrum.

INTRODUCTION
Eurasian Minerals Inc. (the “Company” or “Eurasian” or “EMX”) was incorporated under the laws of the Yukon Territory of
Canada on August 21, 2001 as 33544 Yukon Inc. and, on October 10, 2001, changed its name to Southern European
Exploration Ltd. On November 24, 2003, the Company completed the reverse take-over of Marchwell Capital Corp., a TSX
Venture Exchange (“TSX-V”) listed company incorporated in Alberta on May 13, 1996 and which subsequently changed its
name to Eurasian Minerals Inc. On September 21, 2004, EMX continued into British Columbia from Alberta under the
Business Corporations Act.
EMX’s head office is located at Suite 501 – 543 Granville Street, Vancouver, British Columbia V6C 1X8, Canada, and its
registered and records office is located at Northwest Law Group, Suite 704 – 595 Howe Street, Vancouver, British Columbia
V6C 2T5, Canada.
Eurasian is a reporting Company under the securities legislation of British Columbia and Alberta and is listed on the TSX-V,
as a Tier 1 Company, and the NYSE MKT (formerly known as the American Stock Exchange or AMEX). Eurasian’s
common shares without par value (“Common Shares”) are traded on the TSX-V under the symbol EMX and on the NYSE
MKT under the symbol EMXX.
BUSINESS OF EURASIAN MINERALS INC.
Eurasian is principally in the business of exploring for, and generating royalties from, metals and minerals properties, as well
as identifying royalty opportunities for purchase. Eurasian’s business is carried out as a royalty and prospect generator. Under
the royalty and prospect generation business model, it acquires and advances early-stage mineral exploration projects and
then options the projects to, and thereby forms relationships with, other parties in consideration of a retained royalty interest,
as well as annual advanced royalty and other cash or share payments and exploration carried out by the other parties. Through
its various agreements, Eurasian also provides technical and commercial assistance to such companies as the projects
advance. By optioning interests in its projects to third parties for a royalty interest, Eurasian:
(a) reduces its exposure to the costs and risks associated with mineral exploration and project development,
(b) maintains the opportunity to participate in early-stage exploration upside; and
(c) develops a pipeline for potential production royalty payments and associated greenfields discoveries in the future.
This approach helps preserve the Company’s treasury, which can be utilized for further project acquisitions and other
business initiatives.
The Company’s royalty and exploration portfolio consists of properties in North America, Turkey, Europe, Haiti, Australia,
and the Asia-Pacific region. Eurasian started receiving royalty income as of August 17, 2012 when it acquired Bullion
Monarch Mining, Inc. (“Bullion” or “BULM”). This royalty cash flow serves to provide a foundation to support the
Company’s growth over the long term.
Strategic investments are an important complement to the Company’s royalty and prospect generation initiatives. These
investments are made in unrecognized or under-valued exploration companies identified by Eurasian. EMX helps to develop
the value of these assets, with exit strategies that can include royalty positions or equity sales.
FINANCIAL AND OTHER INFORMATION
In this Annual Report, unless otherwise specified, all dollar amounts are expressed in Canadian Dollars (“CDN$” or “$”).
The Government of Canada permits a floating exchange rate to determine the value of the Canadian Dollar against the U.S.
Dollar (“US$”).

FORWARD-LOOKING STATEMENTS
Eurasian Minerals Inc. (the “Company” or “Eurasian” or “EMX”) is a Canadian issuer that is permitted, under the
multijurisdictional disclosure system adopted in the United States, to prepare this annual report on Form 20-F (this “Annual
Report”) pursuant to Section 13 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”), in accordance
with Canadian disclosure requirements, which are different from those of the United States. The Company is a “foreign
private issuer” as defined in Rule 3b-4 under the Exchange Act and Rule 405 under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended.
Equity securities of the Company are accordingly exempt from Sections 14(a), 14(b), 14(c), 14(f) and 16 of the Exchange Act
pursuant to Rule 3a12-3 thereunder.
CAUTIONARY STATEMENT REGARDING FORWARD-LOOKING STATEMENTS
This Annual Report, including the documents incorporated by reference herein, may contain forward-looking statements.
These forward-looking statements may include statements regarding perceived merit of properties, exploration results and
budgets, mineral reserves and resource estimates, work programs, capital expenditures, operating costs, cash flow estimates,
production estimates and similar statements relating to the economic viability of a project, timelines, strategic plans,
completion of transactions, market prices for metals or other statements that are not statements of fact. These statements
relate to analyses and other information that are based on forecasts of future results, estimates of amounts not yet
determinable and assumptions of management. Statements concerning mineral resource estimates may also be deemed to
constitute “forward-looking statements” to the extent that they involve estimates of the mineralization that will be
encountered if the property is developed.
Any statements that express or involve discussions with respect to predictions, expectations, beliefs, plans, projections,
objectives, assumptions or future events or performance (often, but not always, identified by words or phrases such as
“expects”, “anticipates”, “believes”, “plans”, “projects”, “estimates”, “assumes”, “intends”, “strategy”, “goals”, “objectives”,
“potential”, “possible” or variations thereof or stating that certain actions, events, conditions or results “may”, “could”,
“would”, “should”, “might” or “will” be taken, occur or be achieved, or the negative of any of these terms and similar
expressions) are not statements of historical fact and may be forward-looking statements.
Forward-looking statements are based on a number of material assumptions, including those listed below, which could prove
to be significantly incorrect:
the Company’s ability to achieve production at any of its mineral properties;
estimated capital costs, operating costs, production and economic returns;
estimated metal pricing, metallurgy, mineability, marketability and operating and capital costs, together with other
assumptions underlying the Company’s resource and reserve estimates;
the Company’s expected ability to develop adequate infrastructure at a reasonable cost;
assumptions that all necessary permits and governmental approvals will be obtained;
assumptions made in the interpretation of drill results, the geology, grade and continuity of the Company’s mineral
deposits;
the Company’s expectations regarding demand for equipment, skilled labor and services needed for exploration and
development of mineral properties; and
the Company’s activities will not be adversely disrupted or impeded by development, operating or regulatory risks.
Forward-looking statements are subject to a variety of known and unknown risks, uncertainties and other factors that could
cause actual events or results to differ from those reflected in the forward-looking statements, including, without limitation:
uncertainty of whether there will ever be production at the Company’s mineral exploration and development
properties;
uncertainty of estimates of capital costs, operating costs, production and economic returns;
uncertainties relating to the assumptions underlying the Company’s resource and reserve estimates, such as metal
pricing, metallurgy, mineability, marketability and operating and capital costs;
risks related to the Company’s ability to commence production and generate material revenues or obtain adequate
financing for its planned exploration and development activities;
risks related to the Company’s ability to finance the development of its mineral properties through external
financing, joint ventures or other strategic alliances, the sale of property interests or otherwise;
risks related to the third parties on which the Company depends for its exploration and development activities;
dependence on cooperation of joint venture partners in exploration and development of properties;
10
credit, liquidity, interest rate and currency risks;
risks related to market events and general economic conditions;
uncertainty related to inferred mineral resources;
risks and uncertainties relating to the interpretation of drill results, the geology, grade and continuity of the
Company’s mineral deposits;
risks related to lack of adequate infrastructure;
mining and development risks, including risks related to infrastructure, accidents, equipment breakdowns, labor
disputes or other unanticipated difficulties with or interruptions in development, construction or production;
the risk that permits and governmental approvals necessary to develop and operate mines on the Company’s
properties will not be available on a timely basis or at all;
commodity price fluctuations;
risks related to governmental regulation and permits, including environmental regulation;
risks related to the need for reclamation activities on the Company’s properties and uncertainty of cost estimates
related thereto;
uncertainty related to title to the Company’s mineral properties;
uncertainty as to the outcome of potential litigation;
risks related to increases in demand for equipment, skilled labor and services needed for exploration and
development of mineral properties, and related cost increases;
increased competition in the mining industry;
the Company’s need to attract and retain qualified management and technical personnel;
risks related to hedging arrangements or the lack thereof;
uncertainty as to the Company’s ability to acquire additional commercially mineable mineral rights;
risks related to the integration of potential new acquisitions into the Company’s existing operations;
risks related to unknown liabilities in connection with acquisitions;
risks related to conflicts of interest of some of the directors of the Company;
risks related to global climate change;
risks related to adverse publicity from non-governmental organizations;
risks related to political uncertainty or instability in countries where the Company’s mineral properties are located;
uncertainty as to the Company’s passive foreign investment company (“PFIC”) status;
uncertainty as to the Company’s status as a “foreign private issuer” and “emerging growth company” in future years;
uncertainty as to the Company’s ability to maintain the adequacy of internal control over financial reporting; and
risks related to regulatory and legal compliance and increased costs relating thereto.
This list is not exhaustive of the factors that may affect any of the Company’s forward-looking statements. Forward-looking
statements are statements about the future and are inherently uncertain, and actual achievements of the Company or other
future events or conditions may differ materially from those reflected in the forward-looking statements due to a variety of
risks, uncertainties and other factors, including, without limitation, those referred to under the heading “Key Information” (as
defined below), which is incorporated by reference herein.
The Company’s forward-looking statements are based on the beliefs, expectations and opinions of management on the date
the statements are made, and the Company does not assume any obligation to update forward-looking statements if
circumstances or management’s beliefs, expectations or opinions should change, except as required by law. For the reasons
set forth above, investors should not place undue reliance on forward-looking statements.

3.C. Reasons For The Offer And Use Of Proceeds
--- No Disclosure Necessary ---
3.D. Risk Factors
Investment in the Common Shares involves a significant degree of risk and should be considered speculative due to the
nature of Eurasian’s business and the present stage of its development. Prospective investors should carefully review the
following factors together with other information contained in this Annual Report before making an investment decision.
Mineral Property Exploration Risks
The business of mineral exploration and extraction involves a high degree of risk. Few properties that are explored ultimately
become producing mines. At present, none of the Company’s properties has a known commercial ore deposit. The main
operating risks include ensuring ownership of and access to mineral properties by confirmation that option agreements,
claims and leases are in good standing and obtaining permits for drilling and other exploration activities.
Eurasian is currently earning an interest in some of its properties through option agreements and acquisition of title to the
properties is only completed when the option conditions have been met. These conditions generally include making property
payments, incurring exploration expenditures on the properties and can include the satisfactory completion of pre-feasibility
studies. If the Company does not satisfactorily complete these option conditions in the time frame laid out in the option
agreements, the Company’s title to the related property will not vest and the Company will have to write-off any previously
capitalized costs related to that property.
The market prices for precious and base metals can be volatile and there is no assurance that a profitable market will exist for
a production decision to be made or for the ultimate sale of the metals even if commercial quantities of precious and other
metals are discovered.
Revenue and Royalty Risks
Eurasian cannot predict future revenues or operating results of the area of mining activity. Management expects future
revenues from the Carlin Trend Royalty Claim Block, including the Leeville royalty property in Nevada, to fluctuate
depending on the level of future production and the price of gold. Specifically, there is a risk that the operator of the property,
Newmont Mining Company (“Newmont”), will cease to operate in the Company’s area of interest, therefore there can be no
assurance that ongoing royalty payments will materialize or be received by Eurasian.
Financing and Share Price Fluctuation Risks
Eurasian has limited financial resources, and has no assurance that additional funding will be available for further exploration
and development of its projects. Further exploration and development of one or more of the Company’s projects may be
dependent upon the Company’s ability to obtain financing through equity or debt financing or other means. Failure to obtain
this financing could result in delay or indefinite postponement of further exploration and development of its projects which
could result in the loss of one or more of its properties.
The securities markets can experience a high degree of price and volume volatility, and the market price of securities of many
companies, particularly those considered to be development stage companies such as Eurasian, may experience wide
fluctuations in share prices which will not necessarily be related to their operating performance, underlying asset values or
prospects. There can be no assurance that share price fluctuations will not occur in the future, and if they do occur, the
severity of the impact on Eurasian’s ability to raise additional funds through equity issues.
Foreign Countries and Political Risks
The Company operates in countries with varied political and economic environments. As such, it is subject to certain risks,
including currency fluctuations and possible political or economic instability which may result in the impairment or loss of
mineral concessions or other mineral rights, opposition from environmental or other non-governmental organizations, and
mineral exploration and mining activities may be affected in varying degrees by political stability and government
regulations relating to the mineral exploration and mining industry. Any changes in regulations or shifts in political attitudes
are beyond the control of the Company and may adversely affect its business. Exploration and development may be affected
in varying degrees by government regulations with respect to restrictions on future exploitation and production, price
15
controls, export controls, foreign exchange controls, income taxes, expropriation of property, environmental legislation and
mine and site safety.
Notwithstanding any progress in restructuring political institutions or economic conditions, the present administration, or
successor governments, of some countries in which Eurasian operates may not be able to sustain any progress. If any
negative changes occur in the political or economic environment of these countries, it may have an adverse effect on the
Company’s operations in those countries. The Company does not carry political risk insurance.
Competition
The Company competes with many companies that have substantially greater financial and technical resources than it in the
acquisition and development of its projects as well as for the recruitment and retention of qualified employees.
Return on Investment Risk
Investors cannot expect to receive a dividend on an investment in the Common Shares in the foreseeable future, if at all.
No Assurance of Titles or Borders
The acquisition of the right to exploit mineral properties is a very detailed and time consuming process. There can be no
guarantee that the Company has acquired title to any such surface or mineral rights or that such rights will be obtained in the
future. To the extent they are obtained, titles to the Company’s surface or mineral properties may be challenged or impugned
and title insurance is generally not available. The Company’s surface or mineral properties may be subject to prior
unregistered agreements, transfers or claims and title may be affected by, among other things, undetected defects. Such third
party claims could have a material adverse impact on the Company’s operations.
Currency Risks
The Company’s equity financings are sourced in Canadian dollars but much of its expenditures are in local currencies or U.S.
dollars. At this time, there are no currency hedges in place. Therefore, a weakening of the Canadian dollar against the U.S.
dollar or local currencies could have an adverse impact on the amount of exploration funds available and work conducted.
Joint Venture and Exploration Funding Risk
Eurasian’s strategy is to seek exploration and joint venture partners through options and joint ventures to fund exploration
and project development. The main risk of this strategy is that the funding parties may not be able to raise sufficient capital in
order to satisfy exploration and other expenditure terms in a particular joint venture agreement. As a result, exploration and
development of one or more of the Company’s property interests may be delayed depending on whether Eurasian can find
another party or has enough capital resources to fund the exploration and development on its own.
Insured and Uninsured Risks
In the course of exploration, development and production of mineral properties, the Company is subject to a number of risks
and hazards in general, including adverse environmental conditions, operational accidents, labor disputes, unusual or
unexpected geological conditions, changes in the regulatory environment and natural phenomena such as inclement weather
conditions, floods, and earthquakes. Such occurrences could result in the damage to the Company’s property or facilities and
equipment, personal injury or death, environmental damage to properties of the Company or others, delays, monetary losses
and possible legal liability.
Although the Company may maintain insurance to protect against certain risks in such amounts as it considers reasonable, its
insurance may not cover all the potential risks associated with its operations. The Company may also be unable to maintain
insurance to cover these risks at economically feasible premiums or for other reasons. Should such liabilities arise, they could
reduce or eliminate future profitability and result in increased costs, have a material adverse effect on the Company’s results
and a decline in the value of the securities of the Company.
Some work is carried out through independent consultants and the Company requires all consultants to carry their own
insurance to cover any potential liabilities as a result of their work on a project.
16
Environmental Risks and Hazards
The activities of the Company are subject to environmental regulations issued and enforced by government agencies.
Environmental legislation is evolving in a manner that will require stricter standards and enforcement and involve increased
fines and penalties for non-compliance, more stringent environmental assessments of proposed projects, and a heightened
degree of responsibility for companies and their officers, directors and employees. There can be no assurance that future
changes in environmental regulation, if any, will not adversely affect Eurasian’s operations. Environmental hazards may exist
on properties in which the Company holds interests which are unknown to the Company at present.
Fluctuating Metal Prices
Factors beyond the control of the Company have a direct effect on global metal prices, which have fluctuated widely,
particularly in recent years, and there is no assurance that a profitable market will exist for a production decision to be made
or for the ultimate sale of the metals even if commercial quantities of precious and other metals are discovered on any of
Eurasian’s properties. Consequently, the economic viability of any of the Company’s exploration projects and its ability to
finance the development of its projects cannot be accurately predicted and may be adversely affected by fluctuations in metal
prices.
Extensive Governmental Regulation and Permitting Requirements Risks
Exploration, development and mining of minerals are subject to extensive laws and regulations at various governmental
levels governing the acquisition of the mining interests, prospecting, development, mining, production, exports, taxes, labor
standards, occupational health, waste disposal, toxic substances, land use, environmental protection, mine safety and other
matters. In addition, the current and future operations of Eurasian, from exploration through development activities and
production, require permits, licenses and approvals from some of these governmental authorities. Eurasian has obtained all
government licenses, permits and approvals necessary for the operation of its business to date. However, additional licenses,
permits and approvals may be required. The failure to obtain any licenses, permits or approvals that may be required or the
revocation of existing ones would have a material and adverse effect on Eurasian, its business and results of operations.
Failure to comply with applicable laws, regulations and permits may result in enforcement actions thereunder, including
orders issued by regulatory or judicial authorities requiring Eurasian’s operations to cease or be curtailed, and may include
corrective measures requiring capital expenditures, installation of additional equipment or remedial actions. Eurasian may be
required to compensate those suffering loss or damage by reason of its mineral exploration activities and may have civil or
criminal fines or penalties imposed for violations of such laws, regulations and permits. Any such events could have a
material and adverse effect on Eurasian and its business and could result in Eurasian not meeting its business objectives.
Key Personnel Risk
Eurasian’s success is dependent upon the performance of key personnel working in management and administrative
capacities or as consultants. The loss of the services of senior management or key personnel could have a material and
adverse effect on the Company, its business and results of operations.
Conflicts of Interest
In accordance with the laws of British Columbia, the directors and officers of a Company are required to act honestly, in
good faith and in the best interests of the Company. Eurasian’s directors and officers may serve as directors or officers of
other companies or have significant shareholdings in other resource companies and, to the extent that such other companies
may participate in ventures in which the Company may participate, such directors and officers may have a conflict of interest
in negotiating and concluding terms respecting the extent of such participation. If such a conflict of interest arises at a
meeting of the Company’s directors, a director with such a conflict will abstain from voting for or against the approval of
such participation or such terms.
Passive Foreign Investment Company
U.S. investors in common shares should be aware that based on current business plans and financial expectations, Eurasian
currently expects that it will be a passive foreign investment company (“PFIC”) for the year ending December 31, 2014 and
expects to be a PFIC in future tax years. If Eurasian is a PFIC for any year during a U.S. shareholder’s holding period, then
such U.S. shareholder generally will be required to treat any gain realized upon a disposition of common shares, or any so-
called “excess distribution” received on its common shares, as ordinary income, and to pay an interest charge on a portion of
such gain or distributions, unless the shareholder makes a timely and effective “qualified electing fund” election (“QEF
17
Election”) or a “mark-to-market” election with respect to the common shares. A U.S. shareholder who makes a QEF Election
generally must report on a current basis its share of Eurasian’s net capital gain and ordinary earnings for any year in which
Eurasian is a PFIC, whether or not Eurasian distributes any amounts to its shareholders. For each tax year that Eurasian
qualifies as a PFIC, Eurasian intends to: (a) make available to U.S. shareholders, upon their written request, a “PFIC Annual
Information Statement” as described in Treasury Regulation Section 1.1295-1(g) (or any successor Treasury Regulation) and
(b) upon written request, use commercially reasonable efforts to provide all additional information that such U.S. shareholder
is required to obtain in connection with maintaining such QEF Election with regard to Eurasian. Eurasian may elect to
provide such information on its website www.EurasianMinerals.com.
Corporate Governance and Public Disclosure Regulations
The Company is subject to changing rules and regulations promulgated by a number of United States and Canadian
governmental and self-regulated organizations, including the United States Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”),
the British Columbia and Alberta Securities Commissions, the NYSE MKT and the TSX-V. These rules and regulations
continue to evolve in scope and complexity and many new requirements have been created, making compliance more
difficult and uncertain. The Company’s efforts to comply with the new rules and regulations have resulted in, and are likely
to continue to result in, increased general and administrative expenses and a diversion of management time and attention
from revenue-generating activities to compliance activities.
Internal Controls over Financial Reporting
Applicable securities laws require an annual assessment by management of the effectiveness of the Company’s internal
control over financial reporting. The Company may, in the future, fail to achieve and maintain the adequacy of its internal
control over financial reporting, as such standards are modified, supplemented or amended from time to time, and the
Company may not be able to ensure that it can conclude on an ongoing basis that it has effective internal control over
financial reporting. Future acquisitions may provide the Company with challenges in implementing the required processes,
procedures and controls in its acquired operations. Acquired Corporations may not have disclosure controls and procedures
or internal control over financial reporting that are as thorough or effective as those required by securities laws currently
applicable to the Company.
No evaluation can provide complete assurance that the Company’s internal control over financial reporting will detect or
uncover all failures of persons within the Company to disclose material information otherwise required to be reported. The
effectiveness of the Company’s controls and procedures could also be limited by simple errors or faulty judgments. In
addition, should the Company expand in the future, the challenges involved in implementing appropriate internal control over
financial reporting will increase and will require that the Company continue to improve its internal control over financial
reporting.

Eurasian is a reporting issuer under the securities legislation of British Columbia and Alberta and is listed on the TSX-V, as a
Tier 1 issuer, and the NYSE MKT (formerly known as the American Stock Exchange or AMEX). Eurasian’s Common
Shares without par value are traded on the TSX-V under the symbol EMX and on the NYSE MKT under the symbol EMXX.
Three-Year History
Fiscal Year Ended December 31, 2012
On January 24, 2012, Eurasian filed a registration statement on Form 40-F with the “SEC” relating to the registration of its
Common Shares under the United States Securities and Exchange Act of 1934. On January 30, 2012, the Common Shares
were listed for trading on the NYSE MKT.
On February 9, 2012 but effective as of January 9, 2012, Eurasian extended the expiration date of 678,611 warrants held by
employees or insiders of, or consultants to, BCE or Eurasian from January 9, 2012 to February 22, 2012. These warrants
were issued on January 29, 2010 as part of the consideration paid by Eurasian in connection with the acquisition of BCE. Due
to a trading blackout imposed by Eurasian relating to its acquisition of Bullion, the warrant holders were unable to exercise
the warrants until the blackout was lifted subsequent to the public announcement of the BULM transaction on February 7,
2012. Each warrant entitled the holder to purchase one share of Eurasian common stock at a price of $2.00. Each of the
678,611 warrants was exercised on or before the expiration date, as extended, resulting in gross proceeds to Eurasian of
$1,357,222.
On April 2, 2012, a subsidiary of Eurasian and its joint venture partner, Australian Securities Exchange (“ASX”) listed
Chesser Resources Limited (“Chesser”), signed an Option Agreement (the “Sisorta Agreement”) on their jointly owned
(EMX: 49% interest; Chesser: 51% interest) Sisorta gold property located in north-central Turkey with Çolakoğlu Ticari
Yatirim A.Ş. (“Çolakoğlu”), a privately owned Turkish company. The Sisorta Agreement required Çolakoğlu to make an up-
front payment of 100 troy ounces of gold bullion, or its cash equivalent, and to undertake a US$500,000 work commitment
over the first year. Çolakoğlu terminated its option on March 21, 2013.
In May 2012, Dr. Stephen Enders resigned as Executive Chairman of the Board of Directors and was appointed Chief
Operating Officer. Michael Winn assumed the role of Chairman of the Board.
19
On August 15, 2012, the Company appointed Jan N. Steiert as Chief Legal Officer of the Company.
On August 17, 2012, the Company completed its acquisition of BULM following approval by BULM’s shareholders at a
special meeting held earlier that day. Under the terms of the transaction, BULM shareholders received 0.45 of a Common
Share and US$0.11 in cash for each share of BULM common stock held as of the record date. The value of the total
consideration paid to BULM shareholders was approximately US$36.4 million.
In connection with the closing of the merger, James A. Morris, the former President of Bullion, joined Eurasian’s Board of
Directors. In addition, R. Don Morris, the former CEO of Bullion, was appointed to EMX’s advisory board. Both
appointments were effective August 17, 2012.
On August 23, 2012, the Company announced that it intended to pay discretionary bonuses through the issuance of an
aggregate of 364,500 Common Shares as a bonus to five officers and a director. The Common Shares would be issued under
the Company’s Incentive Stock Grant Program of up to 300,000 Common Shares available each year which was approved by
disinterested shareholders at the Company’s Annual General Meeting held on August 24, 2010 and through an additional one
time issuance of up to 700,000 Common Shares as bonuses to certain officers and directors which was approved by
shareholders at the Company’s Annual General Meeting held on August 16, 2011. The Common Shares were issued in three
tranches over a period of two years. The first tranche was issued on October 15, 2012 and the second tranche was issued on
October 15, 2013 and October 14, 2014.
Fiscal Year ended December 31, 2013
Paul H. Zink ceased to be President of Eurasian Capital on January 31, 2013.
On February 27, 2013, the Company announced that its wholly-owned subsidiary, Eurasia Madencilik Ltd. Sti. (“EMX
Turkey”), had executed a definitive agreement with Tumad Madencilik Sanayi ve Ticaret A.S. (“Tumad”), a private Turkish
company, giving Tumad an option to acquire Eurasian’s Trab-23 gold (copper-molybdenum) porphyry project in northeast
Turkey (the “Trab-23 Agreement”). The Trab-23 Agreement consists of: in-ground spending requirements to further develop
the asset’s value; a revenue stream of annual earn-in and pre-production payments; and a revenue stream based upon
production. See “Mineral Properties – Turkey”.
In April, 2013 the Company announced the selection of the Iekelvare Designated Project in Sweden pursuant to the Alliance
Agreement with Antofagasta Minerals S.A., a wholly-owned subsidiary of Antofagasta Plc, a Chilean mining company listed
on the London Stock Exchange. Iekelvare joined Kiruna South as a Designated Project in Sweden. In March, 2014
Antofagasta advised Eurasian that it was discontinuing further funding of the Kiruna South and Iekelvare Designated
Projects.
Larry M. Okada was appointed to the Board of Directors on June 11, 2013.
On June 30, 2013, the Company announced the execution of an Option Agreement (the “Akarca Agreement”) to sell the
Akarca property in northwest Turkey to Çolakoğlu for a combination of cash payments, gold bullion, work commitments,
and a royalty interest. The Akarca Agreement gives Çolakoğlu, the option to acquire EMX’s 100%-owned Turkish
subsidiary, AES Madencilik A.S. that controls the Akarca property. The Akarca Agreement required Çolakoğlu to make an
up-front payment of US$250,000 and in order to exercise the option, drill up at least 5,000 meters by the end of the first year,
and make a US$500,000 payment on exercise of the option. See “Mineral Properties – Turkey”.
In August, the Company sold its geothermal energy assets in Slovakia and Peru to Starlight Geothermal Ltd. (“SGL”), an
arm’s length private company based in Houston, Texas, for cash payments, an equity position of approximately 5% in SGL’s
issued and outstanding voting share capital, annual advance minimum royalty payments until production commences and,
once production commences, a 1% gross royalty on its geothermal licenses in Slovakia and a 0.5% gross royalty on its
geothermal licenses in Peru.
On September 4, 2013, the Company announced that it had, through its wholly-owned subsidiary, Bronco Creek Exploration
Inc. (“BCE” or “Bronco Creek”), entered into three option purchase agreements with Desert Star Resources Ltd. (TSX-V:
DSR), a public company based in Vancouver, British Columbia (“Desert Star”), granting Desert Star options to acquire the
Company’s Red Top, Copper Springs, and Copper King porphyry copper projects in Arizona. See “Mineral Properties –
North America”.
In October 2013, Bronco Creek signed three exploration and earn-in agreements, with Savant Explorations Ltd. (TSX-V:
SVT), a public company based in Vancouver, British Columbia (“Savant”), granting Savant options to earn in to the
20
Company’s Jasper Canyon, Buckhorn Creek, and Frazier Creek porphyry copper projects. See “Mineral Properties – North
America”.
Fiscal Year ended December 31, 2014
On January 7, 2014, the Company announced the signing of an Exploration and Option Agreement (the “Alankoy
Agreement”) with Ferrite Resources Ltd. (“Ferrite”), a privately-held Australian company, for the disposition, by option, of
the Alankoy copper-gold property in northwestern Turkey. Ferrite has the option to earn a 100% interest in the project
through work commitments, payments, and annual advance royalties. EMX will retain an uncapped 3% production royalty
that cannot be purchased in advance or otherwise reduced. Under the Alankoy Agreement, Ferrite paid US$35,000 upon
signing the Alankoy Agreement and must expend at least US$200,000 on exploration activities on the project each year for
the three years. In addition, Ferrite is required to make annual deliveries of gold bullion to EMX as advance royalties. These
will consist of 75 troy ounces of gold (or cash equivalent thereof) delivered on each of the first three anniversaries and annual
advance royalties of 100 troy ounces of gold (or cash equivalent) on all subsequent anniversaries until commencement of
commercial production. See “Mineral Properties – Turkey”.
On February 19, 2014, EMX signed an Exploration and Option Agreement (the “NQM Agreement”) with North Queensland
Mining Pty Ltd. (“NQM”), a privately-held Australian company, respecting EMX’s Koonenberry exploration licenses in
New South Wales, Australia. Under the NQM Agreement, Eurasian granted NQM the option, exercisable until February 19,
2017, to acquire the EMX subsidiary (EMX Exploration Pty Ltd.) that holds the Company’s remaining exploration licenses
in the project area, with EMX retaining a 3% production royalty. On or before the second anniversary of the NQM
Agreement date, NQM can reduce such 3% production royalty to 2.5%, by agreeing to pay annual advance royalties in the
following amounts:
75 troy ounces of gold (or cash equivalent thereof) on the first anniversary of NQM’s election to reduce the amount
of the production royalty,
100 troy ounces of gold (or cash equivalent) on the earlier of the third anniversary of the NQM Agreement date or
the exercise of the election, and
100 troy ounces of gold (or cash equivalent) on all subsequent anniversaries of the NQM Agreement date until
commencement of commercial production.
In February 2014, the Board of Directors adopted an Advance Notice Policy in respect of the election of directors. The
purpose of the Policy is to provide shareholders, directors and management of the Company with a clear framework for
nominating persons for election as directors of the Company. No person will be eligible for election unless nominated in
accordance with the Policy. The Policy was ratified by the Company’s shareholders at its annual general meeting on May 13,
2014 and subsequently incorporated into the Company’s articles.
On April 25, 2014, incentive stock options, exercisable to purchase an aggregate of 1,531,000 Common Shares at a price of
$1.20 per share for a period of five years, were granted to officers, directors and employees of, and consultants to, the
Company.
On April 25, 2014, the Company announced that it intended to issue an aggregate of 300,000 Common Shares in lieu of cash
remuneration to two non-executive employees and a consultant. An aggregate of 300,000 Common Shares would be issued
over a period of two years, with the initial tranche of 100,000 Common Shares being issued upon receipt of TSX-V and
NYSE MKT approval, and a further 100,000 Common Shares on each of the first and second anniversaries. The first tranche
was issued on May 30, 2014.
On May 13, 2014, James A. Morris resigned from the Board of Directors.
On May 15, 2014, EMX announced the signing of an Exploration and Option Agreement (the “Lomitas Agreement”),
through its wholly-owned subsidiary Bronco Creek, respecting the Lomitas Negras porphyry copper project with Kennecott
Exploration Company (“Kennecott”), part of the Rio Tinto Group. Pursuant to the Lomitas Agreement, Kennecott can earn a
100% interest in the project by completing US$4,500,000 in exploration expenditures and paying escalating option payments
totaling US$900,000 within five years after the date of the Lomitas Agreement, after which EMX will retain a 2% NSR
royalty.
In June 2014, Dr. Rael Lipson was appointed to the Company’s advisory board.
21
On July 4, 2014, EMX announced the signing of an Exploration and Option Agreement (the “Cathedral Well Agreement”) by
its wholly-owned subsidiary Bronco Creek with Ely Gold and Minerals Inc. (“Ely Gold”), a Vancouver-based mineral
exploration company listed on the TSX-V, respecting EMX’s Cathedral Well gold project. Pursuant to the Cathedral Well
Agreement, Ely Gold can earn a 100% interest in the Project by paying EMX a total of US$100,000 as follows: US$25,000
upon execution of the Cathedral Well Agreement and US$75,000 over the next three years, after which EMX will retain a
2.5% NSR royalty, inclusive of an underlying 0.5% NSR royalty.
On November 13, 2014, the Company announced the execution of an agreement with Land & Mineral Limited (“L&M”), a
privately-held Australian company, giving L&M the right to acquire Hauraki Gold Ltd. (“Hauraki”), the wholly-owned EMX
subsidiary that controls the Neavesville gold-silver property (the “Neavesville Property”) located in the Hauraki goldfield of
New Zealand’s North Island. L&M also made an execution payment of $100,000 to the Company. See “Mineral Properties –
Australia and New Zealand”.
Subsequent to 2014
In February 2015, Mr. Paul H. Stephens was appointed to the Company’s advisory board.
In March 2015, Dr. Enders resigned from the position of Chief Operating Officer and as a Director of the Board. Dr. Enders
will continue as a consultant and was appointed to the advisory board.
4.B. BUSINESS OVERVIEW
Historical Corporate Development
Eurasian Minerals Inc. (the “Company” or “Eurasian” or “EMX”) was incorporated under the laws of the Yukon Territory of
Canada on August 21, 2001 as 33544 Yukon Inc. and, on October 10, 2001, changed its name to Southern European
Exploration Ltd. On November 24, 2003, the Company completed the reverse take-over of Marchwell Capital Corp., a TSX-
V-listed company incorporated in Alberta on May 13, 1996 and which subsequently changed its name to Eurasian Minerals
Inc. On September 21, 2004, EMX continued into British Columbia from Alberta under the Business Corporations Act.
Eurasian is a reporting issuer under the securities legislation of British Columbia and Alberta and is listed on the TSX-V, as a
Tier 1 issuer, and the NYSE MKT (formerly known as the American Stock Exchange or AMEX). Eurasian’s common shares
without par value (“Common Shares”) are traded on the TSX-V under the symbol EMX and on the NYSE MKT under the
symbol EMXX.
Eurasian’s is principally in the business of exploring for, and generating royalties from, metals and minerals properties, as
well as identifying royalty opportunities for purchase. Eurasian’s business is carried out as a royalty and prospect generator.
Under the royalty and prospect generation business model, it acquires and advances early-stage mineral exploration projects
and then options the projects to, and thereby forms relationships with, other parties in consideration of a retained royalty
interest, as well as annual advanced royalty and other cash or share payments and exploration carried out by the other parties.
Through its various agreements, Eurasian also provides technical and commercial assistance to such companies as the
projects advance. By optioning interests in its projects to third parties for a royalty interest, Eurasian:
(a)
(b)
(c)
reduces its exposure to the costs and risks associated with mineral exploration and project development,
maintains the opportunity to participate in early-stage exploration upside; and
develops a pipeline for potential production royalty payments and associated greenfields discoveries in the future.
This approach helps preserve the Company’s treasury, which can be utilized for further project acquisitions and other
business initiatives.
The Company’s royalty and exploration portfolio consists of properties in North America, Turkey, Europe, Haiti, Australia,
and the Asia-Pacific region. Eurasian started receiving royalty income as of August 17, 2012 when it acquired Bullion
Monarch Mining, Inc. (“Bullion” or “BULM”). This royalty cash flow serves to provide a foundation to support the
Company’s growth over the long term.
Please see the Note 18 of the Financial Statements for royalty revenue.
Strategic investments are an important complement to the Company’s royalty and prospect generation initiatives. These
investments are made in unrecognized or under-valued exploration companies identified by Eurasian. EMX helps to develop
the value of these assets, with exit strategies that can include royalty positions or equity sales.
22
Government Regulation and Environmental Protection
Eurasian's current exploration activities are conducted in North America, Turkey, Europe, Turkey, Haiti, Australia and New
Zealand. Such activities are affected in varying degrees by political stability and government regulations relating to foreign
investment and the mining industry. Changes in these regulations or shifts in political attitudes are beyond Eurasian's control
and may adversely affect Eurasian's business. Operations may be affected in varying degrees by government regulations with
respect to restrictions on production, income taxes, expropriation of property, repatriation of funds, environmental legislation
and mine safety.
The mining industry is also subject to extensive and varying environmental regulations in each of the jurisdictions in which
Eurasian operates. Environmental regulations establish standards respecting health, safety and environmental matters and
place restrictions on toxins resulting from mining activities. These regulations can have an impact on the selection of mining
projects and facilities, potentially resulting in increased capital expenditures by Eurasian or its joint venture partners. In
addition, environmental legislation may require certain projects to be abandoned and sites reclaimed to the satisfaction of
local authorities. Eurasian is committed to complying with environmental and operation legislation wherever it operates.
Eurasian’s current or future operations, including exploration and development activities on its properties, require permits
from various governmental authorities, and such operations are, and will be, governed by laws and regulations governing
exploration, development, taxes, occupational health, waste disposal, toxic substances, land use, environmental protection
and other matters. Compliance with these requirements may prove to be difficult and expensive. While Eurasian has
properties in numerous jurisdictions, its most advanced projects are located in Turkey.
Governmental Regulation in Turkey
Mining Regulation
The legal mining regime in Turkey is principally governed by the Mining Law No. 3213, as amended most recently in 2010
with the intent of providing investors with a more investment-friendly environment.
Mining rights and minerals are exclusively owned by the Turkish state, and the ownership of minerals in Turkey is not
subject to the ownership of the relevant land. The state, under the Turkish Mining Law and secondary mining legislation,
delegates its rights to explore and operate to Turkish individuals or legal entities established under Turkish law by issuing
licenses for a determined period of time in return for the payment of a royalty. There is no distinction between the mining
rights that may be acquired by local investors and those that may be acquired by foreign investors so long as foreign investors
establish a company in Turkey under Turkish law.
The General Directorate of Mining Affairs, a unit of the Ministry of Energy and Natural Resources, is the authorized body to
regulate mining activities and to issue mining licenses in Turkey. In addition, local administrative bodies also have a certain
level of authority relating to licenses and the regulation of mining facilities.
The Turkish Mining Law classifies underground resources in six different groups, and the licensing procedure for each class
differs slightly. The classes are as follows: (1) sand and gravel, (2) marble and other similar decorative stones, (3) mineral
salts from seas, lakes and fresh waters, (4) energy, metal and industrial minerals, (5) precious metals such as gold and silver
and gem stones and (6) radioactive minerals.
There are two types of licenses granted for the exploration and operation of mines and one type of operation permit under the
Turkish Mining Law, as follows:
exploration license, enabling its holder to carry out exploration activities (i.e., all mining activities other than those
carried out for production) in a specific area issued for a period of two years for gold mining and one year for the
other groups. If the license holder satisfies its obligations, the license holder will have a right to an additional four
years of detailed exploration for certain classes of mines;
operation license, enabling its holder to carry out operational activities within the same area as stated in the
exploration license for the proved, potential and feasible mine reserve area, which is generally issued for a period of
five or ten years depending on the mine type. The term of the operation license may generally be extended for at
least five years upon the application of the holder of the exploration license and operation license with a new
23
operation project so long as a certain rate of production is maintained; however, such term cannot exceed sixty
years;
operation permit, enabling its holder to operate a specific mine as specified in the operation license and granted only
for the proved mine reserves area that is determined during the prospecting period. Operation activities must
commence within one year from the issuance of the operation permit. The term of an operation permit is the same as
the term of an underlying operation license and in case an extension is granted to an operation license, the term of a
related operation permit is also extended accordingly.
The Turkish Mining Law provides for different royalty percentages for different groups of mines, which is 4 percent for gold,
silver and platinum. Royalties are calculated based on annual total sales. In the event that mining activities are conducted on
state-owned land, the license-holder is obliged to pay an additional 30 percent royalty, but will not be required to pay for
leasing state-owned land for its mining activities.
Environmental Regulation
In Turkey, where Eurasian’s most advanced projects are located, both the level of environmental regulation and its
enforcement have become more stringent in recent years. Mining operations are subject to environmental laws and
regulations promulgated by the Ministry of Environment and Urban Planning, the Ministry of Forestry and Water Works and
regional and local authorities. The Regulation on Environmental Impact Assessments, for example, requires any entity that is
involved in activities that could have an environmental impact to prepare a Report of Environmental Impact Assessment or a
Project Information File. No approvals, permits, incentives, or construction and occupancy licenses may be granted, nor any
investments made, nor any tenders awarded for these projects unless and until the Ministry of Environment and Urban
Planning issues a positive assessment of the environmental impact of the subject activities. The Turkish environmental laws
and regulations also require certain businesses to comply with ongoing requirements to reduce the environmental impact of
certain operations and activities, which also include mining activities. In addition, in Turkey, the issue of allocation of
environmentally sensitive areas such as forest areas, hunting areas, special protection areas, national parks and agriculture
areas for the granting of licenses for activities to be carried out in such areas is also regulated and is under the supervision of
the Ministry of Forestry and Water Works.
Under current Turkish environmental laws and regulations, regulatory authorities may suspend or terminate non-compliant
operations, levy monetary penalties and require non-compliant entities to bear the cost of related remediation programs. For
example, under Turkish environmental and criminal laws, non-compliant operations may be subject to private action and
liable for damages arising from their activities, as well as subject to criminal penalties (such as imprisonment and monetary
fines) for deliberately providing regulatory authorities with false or misleading information regarding regulated activities or
otherwise failing to comply with certain regulations. In addition, a property owner may be held liable for the cost of the
removal or remediation of hazardous or toxic wastes discovered on its property, the cost of which could be substantial, where
generally such liability attaches regardless of whether the owner knew of, or was responsible for, the presence of such
hazardous or toxic substances.
Environmental laws, as they may be amended over time, can impose restrictions on the manner of use of properties, and
compliance with these restrictions may require substantial expenditures. Environmental laws and regulations impose
sanctions for non-compliance and may be enforced by governmental agencies. Third parties also may seek recovery from
companies for personal injury or property damage associated with exposure to the release of hazardous substances.
Commercial Regulation
The new Turkish Commercial Code (the “New Turkish Code”), adopted by the Turkish Parliament in January 2011, is
expected to come into force on July 1, 2012. The New Turkish Code is intended to provide for institutionalisation, increased
competitive power and the establishment of increased public confidence and transparency, and permits joint stock companies
and limited liability companies to be established with only one shareholder.
Some of the key features of the New Turkish Code include the following:
Companies are generally obliged to have a website online and to allocate a part of this website to publish certain
issues, documents, financial statements and resolutions whether publicly traded or not.
24
For joint stock companies, it is sufficient for the board of directors to consist of solely one member. Irrespective of
the total number, at least one member must reside in Turkey and be a Turkish citizen. A legal entity can also be a
board member; however in this case, a natural person must be designated to represent the legal entity.
Board members of a joint stock company are no longer required to be a shareholder in the company.
The financial tables of a joint stock company are to be prepared in accordance with the financial reporting standards
determined by the Turkish Accounting Standards Board. These standards are expected to be amended to comply
with IFRS.
For a limited liability company, at least one of its managers must be domiciled in Turkey and that manager must
have the sole authority to represent the company.
The manager(s) of a limited liability company must prepare and submit to the attention of the general assembly the
financial charts, appendices and the activity report of the company for the preceding accounting period. This must be
done in accordance with the Turkish Accounting Standards and within the first three months of the relevant
accounting period (fiscal year) following the balance sheet date. The relevant Turkish Accounting Standards are
expected to be applicable from January 1, 2013.
Eurasian cannot predict the outcome of each effect of the New Turkish Code, and compliance with these requirements may
prove to be difficult and expensive.
Repatriation of Earnings
Currently, there are no restrictions on the repatriation of earnings or capital to foreign entities from Turkey, where Eurasian’s
most advanced projects are located. However, there can be no assurance that any such restrictions on repatriation of earnings
or capital from Turkey or any other country where we may invest will not be imposed in the future.
Governmental Regulation in the United States
Mining Regulation
Mining activities in the United States are subject to numerous federal, state and local laws and regulations. At the federal
level, mines are subject to inspection and regulation by the Division of Mine Safety and Health Administration of the
Department of Labor (“MSHA”) under provisions of the Federal Mine Safety and Health Act of 1977. The Occupation
Safety and Health Administration also has jurisdiction over certain safety and health standards not covered by MSHA.
Mining operations and all proposed exploration and development will require a variety of permits. In addition, any mining
operations occurring on federal property are subject to regulation and inspection by the Bureau of Land Management
(“BLM”). Eurasian's current projects are also subject to state and local laws and regulations in Alaska, Arizona, Nevada and
Wyoming.
Environmental Regulation
Eurasian’s exploration, mining and processing operations are subject to various federal, state and local laws and regulations
governing prospecting, exploration, development, production, labor standards, occupational health, mine safety, control of
toxic substances, and other matters involving environmental protection and employment. United States environmental
protection laws address the maintenance of air and water quality standards, the preservation of threatened and endangered
species of wildlife and vegetation, the preservation of certain archaeological sites, reclamation, and limitations on the
generation, transportation, storage and disposal of solid and hazardous wastes, among other things.
Legislation and implementation of regulations adopted or proposed by the United States Environmental Protection Agency,
the BLM and by comparable agencies in various states directly and indirectly affect the mining industry in the United States.
These laws and regulations address the environmental impact of mining and mineral processing, including potential
contamination of soil and water from tailings, discharges and other wastes generated by mining process. In particular,
legislation such as the Clean Water Act, the Clean Air Act, the Federal Resource Conservation and Recovery Act and the
National Environmental Policy Act require analysis and/or impose effluent standards, new source performance standards, air
quality standards and other design or operational requirements for various components of mining and mineral processing.
Mining projects also are subject to regulations under the Comprehensive Environmental Response, Compensation and
25
Liability Act of 1980, which regulates and establishes liability for the release of hazardous substances. In addition, statutes
may impose liability on mine developers for remediation of waste they have created.
Specialized Skill and Knowledge
All aspects of Eurasian business require specialized skills and knowledge. Such skills and knowledge include the areas of
geology, finance, accounting and law.
Competitive Conditions
Competition in the mineral exploration industry is intense. Eurasian competes with other companies, many of which have
greater financial resources and technical facilities, for the acquisition and exploration of mineral interests, as well as for the
recruitment and retention of qualified employees and consultants.
Raw Materials (Components)
Other than water and electrical or mechanical power – all of which are readily available on or near its properties – Eurasian
does not require any raw materials with which to carry out its business.
Intangible Property
Eurasian does not have any need for nor does it use any brand names, circulation lists, patents, copyrights, trademarks,
franchises, licenses, software (other than commercially available software), subscription lists or other intellectual property in
its business.
Business Cycle & Seasonality
Eurasian’s royalty and prospect generator business model is cyclical and is impacted by commodity prices and cycles,
however, its business is not seasonal.
Economic Dependence
Eurasian’s business is not substantially dependent on any contract such as a contract to sell the major part of its products or
services or to purchase the major part of its requirements for goods, services or raw materials, or on any franchise or license
or other agreement to use a patent, formula, trade secret, process or trade name upon which its business depends.
Renegotiation or Termination of Contracts
It is not expected that Eurasian’s business will be affected in the current financial year by the renegotiation or termination of
contracts or sub-contracts.
Environmental Protection
All phases of Eurasian’s exploration are subject to environmental regulation in the various jurisdictions in which it operates.
Environmental legislation is evolving in a manner which requires stricter standards and enforcement, increased fines and
penalties for non-compliance, more stringent environmental assessments of proposed projects and a heightened degree of
responsibility for companies and their officers, directors and employees. While manageable, Eurasian expects this evolution
(which affects most mineral exploration companies) might result in increased costs.
Employees
At December 31, 2014, Eurasian had 43 employees and consultants working at various locations throughout the world.
Foreign Operations
The majority of Eurasian’s properties are located outside of North America and many are located in areas traditionally
considered to be risky from a political or economic perspective.
26
Bankruptcy Reorganizations
There has not been any voluntary or involuntary bankruptcy, receivership or similar proceedings against Eurasian within the
three most recently completed financial years or the current financial year.
Material Reorganizations
Except as disclosed under the heading “Three-Year History”, there has not been any material reorganization of Eurasian or its
subsidiaries within the three most recently completed financial years or the current financial year.
Social or Environmental Policies
Eurasian has implemented various social policies that are fundamental to its operations, such as policies regarding its
relationship with the communities where the Company operates.
Eurasian is committed to the implementation of a comprehensive Health, Safety, Environment, Labor and Community Policy
and a pro-active Stakeholder Engagement Strategy (the “Policies”). These Policies will be reviewed and updated on an
annual or “as needed” basis. EMX ensures these Policies are made known to all its managers, staff, contractors and
exploration and joint venture partners, and that the requirements contained therein are adequately planned, resourced
implemented and monitored wherever EMX is actively managing the project and where EMX has obtained a formal
commitment from its exploration and joint venture partners to adopt the same Policies.
1. Environmental Policy
The Company believes that good environmental management at every project it manages, whether in the exploration phase,
feasibility stage, project construction or mine site operation, requires proactive health and safety procedures, transparent
interaction with local communities and implementation of prudent expenditures and business performance standards that
constitutes the foundation for successful exploration and subsequent development if the results warrant it.
Eurasian will develop and implement appropriate standard operating procedures for different stages of its ground technical
surveys, prospecting and evaluation and development work which procedures will be designed to meet all applicable
environmental requirements and best environmental practices in the mineral exploration industry.
2. Community Relations, Communication and Notification Policy
Proactive interaction with the stakeholders on whom the Company’s exploration and development programs may impact is
considered an important part of the long-term investment that the Company is planning in its exploration programs in North
America, Turkey, Europe, Haiti, Australia, and the Asia-Pacific region.
Eurasian recognizes that from the inception of exploration activities or a new field work program, and as the exploration
project progresses towards development, it will be important to:
♦
♦
♦
communicate and proactively engage with all local communities and other stakeholders that may be affected by its
exploration programs;
inform and obtain a consensus with the full range of stakeholders that may be impacted upon by exploration,
evaluation and development; and
identify any vulnerable or marginalized groups within the affected communities (e.g. women, elders or handicapped)
and ensure they are also reached by above information disclosure and consultation activities.
In these respects, Eurasian will work actively and transparently with governmental authorities, other elected parties, non-
governmental organizations, and the communities themselves to ensure that the communities are aware of the activities of the
Company, and that the impact and benefits of such activities are a benefit to the communities.
When detailed or advanced exploration activities, including drilling, evaluation and other such programs, are implemented,
the Company will endeavor to identify how the impacts of such work on communities can best be managed, and how benefits
can best be provided to communities through its activities. This will be undertaken in consultation with the affected
communities.
3.
Labour, Health and Safety Policy
The health and safety of its employees, contractors, affected communities and any other role players that may participate and
be affected by the activities of EMX are crucial to the long term success of the Company.
27
The Company will establish and maintain a constructive work-management relationship, promote the fair treatment, non-
discrimination, and equal opportunity of workers in accordance with Performance Standards 2, Labor and Working
Conditions of the International Finance Company, a member of the World Bank Group.
Every effort will be made through training, regular reviews and briefings, and other procedures to ensure that best practice
labor, health and safety and good international industry practices are implemented and maintained by Eurasian, including
prompt and in-depth accident and incident investigation and the implementation of the conclusions thereof. The Company
will take measures to prevent any child labor or forced labor.
The Company’s aim is at all times to achieve zero lost-time injuries and fatalities.
4. Development Stage Environmental and Social Management Policy
Eurasian will communicate and consult with local communities and stakeholders with a view to fostering mutual
understanding and shared benefits through the promotion and maintenance of open and constructive dialogue and working
relationships.
United States vs. Foreign Sales/Assets
At 12/31/2014, 12/31/2013, 12/31/2012, the Company’s assets were located in North America, Turkey, Europe, Haiti,
Australia and New Zealand.

4.D. Property, Plant and Equipment
The Company’s executive offices are located in rented premises of approximately 4,200 sq. ft., shared by seven other
companies at 543 Granville Street, Suite 501, Vancouver, British Columbia Canada V6C 1X8. The Company began
occupying these facilities on May 1, 2011.
The Company owns a house in Littleton, Colorado which serves as the Company’s office.
The Company’s royalty and exploration portfolio mainly consists of properties in North America, Turkey, Europe, Haiti,
Australia, and New Zealand.
It is important to note that even if the Company completes its exploration programs on its properties and is successful in
identifying mineral deposits, a substantial amount of capital will still have to be spent on each deposit on further drilling and
engineering studies before management will know that the Company has a commercially viable mineral deposit (a reserve)
on the property.
The terms “measured resource”, “indicated resource” and “inferred resource” used in this report are Canadian geological and
mining terms as defined in accordance with National Instrument 43-101, Standards of Disclosure for Mineral Projects of the
Canadian Securities Administrators using the guidelines set out in the Canadian Institute of Mining, Metallurgy and
Petroleum (the “CIM”) Standards on Mineral Resources and Mineral Reserves, adopted by the CIM Council as may be
amended from time to time by the CIM. We advise U.S. investors that while such terms are recognized and permitted under
Canadian regulations, the SEC does not recognize them. U.S. investors are cautioned not to assume that any part or all of the
mineral deposits in the measured and indicated categories will ever be converted into reserves.
“Inferred resources” have a greater amount of uncertainty as to their existence, and greater uncertainty as to their economic
and legal feasibility. It cannot be assumed that all or any part of an inferred mineral resource will ever be upgraded to a
higher category. Under Canadian rules estimates of inferred mineral resources may not form the basis of feasibility or other
economic studies. U.S. investors are cautioned not to assume that any part or all of an inferred resource exists, or is
economically or legally mineable.
Disclosure of gold and silver resources expressed in ounces in the mineral resource categories in this document are in
compliance with Canadian National Instrument 43-101, but does not meet the requirements of Industry Guide 7, Description
of Property by Corporations Engaged or to be Engaged in Significant Mining Operations, of the SEC, which will accept only
the disclosure of tonnage and grade estimates for non-reserve mineralization.
Eurasian has been generating exploration projects for over eleven years, and is now focused on entering into agreements to
convert those assets into royalty interests, as well as directly acquiring new royalty properties. In this time, EMX has built a
portfolio of precious metal, base metal, polymetallic, and geothermal property and royalty interests that spans five continents
and covers more than 1.7 million acres. These assets provide revenue streams from royalty, advance royalty and success-
based bonus payments, while maintaining continual exposure to exploration upside as projects advance. Eurasian
supplements mineral property revenue streams and value creation by leveraging its technical expertise to make timely
strategic investments in other companies or projects that provide shareholders with additional investment upside potential.
29
Leeville and Royalty Property Overview
A key EMX asset is the Leeville royalty property that covers portions of Newmont Mining Company’s Northern Carlin
Trend underground gold mining operations. The Leeville 1% gross smelter return royalty paid approximately US$2 million
during the 12 months ending December 31, 2014. These payments were principally sourced from Newmont’s Leeville mine,
but also included minor contributions from other operations. Newmont’s Turf No. 3 Vent Shaft Project, totaling
approximately $400 million in capital expenditures, is on schedule, with commercial production planned for late 2015 (see
Newmont Mining Corp’s 10-K and 10-Q filings for Q2 and Q3, 2014). Newmont has stated that the project will provide the
ventilation required to “increase production”, “unlock” additional resources, and impact “greater Leeville”, which includes
portions of EMX’s royalty position. Further Carlin Trend exploration upside is provided by EMX’s 3% net smelter return
royalty on the Maggie Creek property that covers nearly two square miles of prospective ground situated less than one mile
from Newmont’s Gold Quarry open pit mine.
In addition to EMX’s Carlin Trend royalty properties, the Company has royalty property interests elsewhere in the western
U.S., as well as in Turkey, Serbia, Sweden, Australia, Slovakia, and Peru. The Balya lead-zinc-silver royalty property in
Turkey resulted from an early prospect generation success, and is undergoing renewed underground development in a
program that commenced in January 2015. EMX’s portfolio in Serbia represents a combination of organically generated
royalties complemented by a key royalty purchase that covers Reservoir Minerals Inc.’s share of the Cukaru Peki copper-gold
discovery. The Viscaria iron-copper royalty was acquired from the purchase of the Phelps Dodge Exploration Sweden AB
assets in 2010, and the project is being actively advanced by Avalon Minerals Ltd. with ongoing drilling, to be followed by
an updated JORC resource estimate and “scoping” study (see Avalon Minerals Ltd. news releases dated January 6 and 12,
2015). In Australia, the Koonenberry gold project is being advanced by other companies, with EMX retaining various royalty
interests that cover the entire project area. EMX’s geothermal interests in Slovakia and Peru provide royalty property
diversification into energy assets that complement the Company’s mineral property portfolio.
In addition, all of EMX’s exploration properties optioned to, or joint ventured with, third parties include a royalty option.
Many of these properties provide advance minimum royalty or advance annual royalty payments that generate an early
revenue stream to EMX’s benefit during earn-in. Additional details on Eurasian’s property portfolio are included in the
following sections.
Turkey
Eurasian holds multiple mineral property interests in Turkey’s Western Anatolia and Eastern Pontides mineral belts. The
properties include bulk tonnage gold, gold-silver vein, and porphyry gold-copper targets. Six of the seven EMX projects in
Turkey are being advanced by partner companies, with the portfolio consisting of two royalty properties and four properties
30
optioned for a retained royalty interest. A seventh property, the Sisorta epithermal gold project, is 100% controlled by
Eurasian and is currently available for sale or partnership.
Akarca Property
The Akarca Property is a 2006 grassroots exploration discovery by Eurasian in Turkey’s Western Anatolia region. The
Akarca Property is currently wholly-owned by EMX.
An Option Agreement (the "Akarca Agreement") was executed in June 2013 with Çolakoğlu Ticari Yatirim A.S.
("Çolakoğlu"), a privately owned Turkish company (see EMX news release dated June 20, 2013). The Akarca Agreement
with Çolakoğlu required an up-front payment of US$250,000 and drilling of at least 5,000 meters by the end of the first year.
Both of these conditions were met. In January, 2015 Eurasian granted Çolakoğlu a six month extension from February, 2015
to August, 2015 to exercise its option. As a condition of this extension, Çolakoğlu paid EMX the first US$100,000 (non-
refundable) from the total US$500,000 payment required to exercise the option. After exercise of the option, subject to a right
to terminate the Agreement and return the Akarca Property to EMX, Çolakoğlu must make additional cash payments of
US$4,250,000 over a period of three years and drill a cumulative 20,000 meters over a period of four years after the
agreement date, must deliver up to 18,000 troy ounces of gold under certain terms and conditions and, within 180 days after
request by EMX after the sixth anniversary of the agreement date, if commercial production has not already commenced,
deliver a feasibility study. The Company will retain a 3.5% NSR royalty on any production from the property. This royalty is
uncapped, cannot be reduced, and none of the pre-production cash or bullion payments count as advanced royalty payments.
From June 2013 through December 2014, Çolakoğlu had conducted drilling, trenching, geological mapping, geochemical
sampling, and metallurgical, and environmental studies.
The Akarca project area currently has six drill defined zones of epithermal gold-silver oxide mineralization. Since its
discovery, 244 core and reverse circulation holes totaling about 26,400 meters have been drilled, most with partner funding.
Summaries of the six zones are given below.
Kucukhugla Tepe is a 600 meter long, northwest trending zone of parallel vein systems that locally host higher grade
mineralization. Recent 2014 drilling by Çolakoğlu yielded an oxide intercept in AKC-131 of 58.5 meters (31.5-90.0 m)
averaging 2.00 g/t gold and 15.3 g/t silver, with a high-grade sub-interval of 2.6 meters averaging 35.31 g/t gold and
226.6 g/t silver (true widths are 45% of reported interval lengths). The zone remains open along strike.
Fula Tepe is a broad corridor of veining and silicification with a strike length of 800 meters and width of over 300
meters. Drill results include an oxide intercept in AKC-120 of 19.8 meters (28.9-48.7 m) averaging 8.49 g/t gold and
60.3 g/t silver, with a sub-interval of 1.0 meter assaying 155.50 g/t gold and 1060 g/t silver (true widths are 64% of
reported interval lengths). The system remains open along strike to the northeast and southwest.
31
The Hugla Tepe prospect is a 650 meter long zone of oxide gold-silver mineralization, quartz veining and IP-resistivity
anomalies. The zone is oriented along a northeast strike direction that is parallel to and approximately 400 meters
southeast of Fula Tepe.
A target halfway between Hugla and Fula Tepe was drilled as a northeast aligned fence of holes at approximately 100
meter spacing. This drilling intersected gold-silver mineralization along a 550 meter northeast trend, and defines a
newly recognized zone of concealed mineralization lying between the Hugla and Fula Tepe prospects.
Sarikaya Tepe is the furthest west of the known zones of mineralization on the property, and forms a distinctive north-
south trending topographic high held up by multiple vein sets and silicified wall rocks. Sarikaya is notable for hosting
higher-grade mineralization, including an oxide intercept reported from AKC-70 of 36.4 meters (0-36.4 m) averaging
5.67 g/t gold and 53.31 g/t silver, with a sub-interval of 2.15 meters averaging 89.34 g/t gold and 835.16 g/t silver (true
widths interpreted as 60-75% of reported interval lengths).
Percem Tepe occurs on the east side of the property, and hosts gold-silver mineralization in two bodies of
silicified/replacement brecciated and veined material that appear to be gently dipping to the northeast. This style of
mineralization is a distinctive feature of Percem Tepe, in which broad zones of mineralized breccias and replacement
bodies have been encountered. Drill results include an oxide intercept in AKC-74 starting at 18.2 meters of 101.0 meters
averaging 1.25 g/t gold and 7.95 g/t silver (true width interpreted as 65-75% of reported interval length).
Arap Tepe hosts near-surface oxide gold-silver mineralization developed in a series of east-west zones of mineralization.
Only one of these zones has been systematically drilled (Zone A), with the other zones presenting upside exploration
opportunities.
From all project drilling, 95% of the holes have at least one interval of mineralization greater than 0.2 g/t gold. This success
rate is remarkable considering that many of the targets are concealed beneath cover, and speaks to the broad areas
mineralized by the gold-silver epithermal system(s) at Akarca. As exploration continues, it is clear that the continuity of the
near-surface oxide zones of vein and disseminated styles of mineralization are being successfully defined at a 25 to 50 meter
drill spacing. Furthermore, ongoing reconnaissance and step-out drilling is demonstrating potential for new discoveries of
gold-silver mineralized zones.
The exploration successes at Akarca since 2006 have led to in-the-ground investments of over US$12 million by partner
companies. In addition to drilling, 3100 rock and 3200 soil geochemical samples, 74 line-kilometers of IP-resistivity surveys,
more than 11 line kilometers of trench sampling, and a property-wide gravity survey have been completed.
Refer to EMX's SEDAR filed Akarca Technical Report and news releases dated July 19, 2012, January 18, 2013, March 1,
2013, June 20, 2013, August 22, 2013, January 27, 2014, July 17, 2014, and March 2, 2015 for more information on the
Akarca exploration results and a description of the QA and QC measures used for the project.
Sisorta Property
The Sisorta project, located in the Eastern Pontides mineral belt, is an epithermal gold deposit with an NI 43-101 mineral
resource at a 0.4 g/t cutoff of 91,000 indicated gold ounces from 3.17 million tonnes averaging 0.89 g/t, and 212,000 inferred
gold ounces from 11.38 million tonnes averaging 0.58 g/t. An overview of the methodology used to estimate these resources
is described in EMX's SEDAR filed Sisorta technical report.
The Sisorta property had until recently been in a joint venture with project manager Chesser Resources Ltd. (“Chesser”)
(51%) and EMX (49%). In March 2015, EMX purchased Chesser's interest in the property, and assumed management of the
project.
The principle technical developments subsequent to the Sisorta technical report resulted from an option granted to Çolakoğlu
to buy the Sisorta property in 2012, but the agreement was terminated in 2013. Çolakoğlu advised that it completed a 46
hole, 5,500 meter diamond drill program and other work totaling approximately US$2.5 million in expenditures before
terminating its option. Chesser reported highlights from Çolakoğlu’s drilling in a June 19, 2013 news release: a) the best
drill intercept to date of 32.4 meters averaging 8.38 g/t gold and starting from the surface (true width unknown), b)
mineralized drill intercepts outside the current resource that increase the gold zone’s lateral extent, and c) porphyry copper-
gold targets that remain to be tested.
As Sisorta is now a 100% controlled asset of EMX, the Company is evaluating the property's exploration upside, while
pursuing partnership opportunities with third parties.

Balya Royalty Property
The Balya royalty property is located in the historic Balya lead-zinc-silver mining district in northwestern Turkey. EMX
holds an uncapped 4% NSR royalty that it retained from the sale of the property to private Turkish mining company
Dedeman Madencilik San ve Tic. A.S. (“Dedeman”) in 2006 (see EMX news release dated November 14, 2006).
EMX understands that since acquiring the property, Dedeman completed 190 core holes totaling over 34,000 meters.
Dedeman’s drilling in 2014 consisted of eleven holes that in-filled and extended the Hastanetepe zone’s lead-zinc-silver
mineralization to the southeast. EMX has also been advised by Dedeman that it re-initiated shaft sinking and underground
development work at the Hastanetepe zone in early 2015.
Golcuk Property
The Golcuk copper-silver property is located in the Eastern Pontides metallogenic belt of northeast Turkey. The
mineralization at Golcuk primarily occurs as stacked, stratabound horizons with disseminated copper and silver hosted in
volcanic units, as well as in localized cross-cutting fault-controlled veins and stockworks of bornite, chalcopyrite and
chalcocite.
Pasinex Resources Ltd. (CSE: PSE; FSE: PNX) of Vancouver, British Columbia (“Pasinex”) signed an agreement in 2012
granting it an option to acquire a 100% interest in the Golcuk property for shares and work commitments over a four year
period. EMX retains a 2.9% NSR royalty, which Pasinex has the option of buying down to 2% within six years of the
agreement date for US$1 million.
Pasinex’s Golcuk exploration work includes drilling, geologic mapping, rock and channel sampling, and a ground magnetics
survey. It has also filed on SEDAR an NI 43-101 Technical Report. Pasinex’s work programs have identified a number of
additional mineralized targets on the property. Pasinex completed five holes totaling 994.4 m at Golcuk in 2014 and is
reviewing the results in context of its recently received report on the structural geology of the targeted area.
Trab-23 Property
The Trab-23 property is located in northeast Turkey. The project area hosts both porphyry gold (copper-molybdenum)
mineralization and epithermal quartz-barite-gold veins.
Tumad Madencilik Sanayi ve Ticaret A.S. (“Tumad”), a private Turkish company, executed an option agreement (the “Trab-
23 Agreement”) in February 2013 granting it an option to acquire Trab-23 from EMX (see EMX news release dated February
27, 2013). The Trab-23 Agreement provides for in-ground spending requirements, a revenue stream of annual earn-in and
pre-production payments, and a revenue stream based upon production. The Trab-23 Agreement was contingent upon
approval by Turkey’s General Directorate of Mining Affairs (“MIGEM”) to combine the two EMX exploration licenses into
a single exploitation license. This license combination was completed in 2014.
Alankoy Property
The Alankoy gold-copper property is located in the Biga Peninsula of northwestern Turkey, in an area noted for recent
discoveries characterized by alunite-rich epithermal alteration and the development of vuggy silica lithocaps. EMX outlined a
six square kilometer area of lithocaps and quartz–alunite and argillic alteration with gold-copper mineralization based upon
geologic mapping, rock and soil sampling, spectral analyses, ground magnetics, and historic reconnaissance drill results.
An Exploration and Option Agreement (the “Alankoy Agreement”) with Ferrite was executed in December 2013 (see EMX
news release dated January 7, 2014). The Alankoy Agreement granted Ferrite the option to acquire EMX subsidiaries that
hold the Alankoy project for work commitments, cash payments, advance annual royalty payments, a milestone payment
based upon completion of an NI 43-101 or JORC compliant feasibility study, and 3% royalty payments to EMX upon
commencement of commercial production from the property.
MIGEM approval of the transfer of the Alankoy project license to the local EMX subsidiary that Ferrite acquired, which was
a condition precedent for the transaction, was obtained in 2014. Small scale iron production was completed during Q3 2014
under the terms of the Alankoy operating license. EMX understands that Ferrite is currently reviewing plans for its 2015
work program.
33
Other Property Interests
EMX has a royalty interest in the Aktutan polymetallic project sold to Dedeman in 2007 for considerations that also include a
4% uncapped NSR. The Sofular royalty property, also held by Dedeman, was dropped in Q1 2015 due to a lack of
encouraging exploration results.

Michael P. Sheehan, CPG, a Qualified Person as defined by NI 43-101 and employee of the Company, has reviewed, verified
and approved the above technical disclosure on Turkey.
North America
Eurasian’s portfolio in North America, advanced through wholly-owned subsidiary Bronco Creek, includes porphyry copper-
molybdenum, porphyry copper-gold, bulk tonnage gold, and high-grade gold-silver vein projects. The BCE portfolio is
comprised of 22 properties covering more than 35,000 hectares in Arizona, Nevada, Utah, and Wyoming. EMX currently has
six properties partnered through BCE. In addition, there are five properties acquired in the 2012 merger with Bullion
Monarch. Of these, four are EMX royalty properties, including Leeville and Maggie Creek (see Leeville and Royalty
Property Overview section above), and one is an exploration project available for partnership.
The Company’s 2014 work focused on advancing partner funded projects, executing new agreements for available projects,
and balancing the portfolio by acquiring new properties on open ground while dropping low priority projects. Eurasian is in
discussions with a number of potential partners for the available North American properties, as well as for regional
exploration alliances.
Cathedral Well Property
The Cathedral Well project is located at the southern end of the Battle Mountain-Eureka gold trend and surrounds most of the
historic Green Springs mine. Eurasian announced the execution of an option agreement with Ely Gold for the Cathedral Well
property early in June 2014 (see EMX news release dated July 7, 2014). Ely Gold may earn a 100% interest in the property
by making staged option payments and granting EMX a 2.5% NSR royalty, inclusive of an underlying 0.5% NSR royalty.
34
After earning 100% interest in the project, Ely Gold will pay EMX annual advance royalties until commencement of
commercial production.
Eurasian understands that Ely Gold is planning a drill program to test multiple targets across the consolidated Green Springs
property position, including underlying sedimentary units that are important host rocks elsewhere in the region and remain
largely untested across the property.
Copper King, Red Top, and Copper Springs Properties
The Copper King, Red Top, and Copper Springs properties are three porphyry copper-molybdenum projects located in the
Globe-Miami and Superior (Pioneer) mining districts. EMX executed three separate Option Purchase Agreements with
Desert Star, whereby Desert Star can acquire a 100% interest in each of the projects for cash, shares, and work commitments,
after which EMX will retain a 2.5% NSR royalty (see EMX news release dated September 4, 2013). In January 2015,
Eurasian regained 100% control of the Copper Springs project after Desert Star elected to not exercise its option for the
property.
Desert Star funded permitting and completion of IP geophysical surveys at Copper King and Red Top that further delineated
concealed targets for drill testing. At Copper King, strong chargeability and resistivity anomalies support EMX’s target
concept of a tilted porphyry copper system lying beneath less altered host rocks. At Red Top, the geophysical anomaly lies to
the north of the original target, and Desert Star staked additional mining claims covering this new area. Drill permits for both
properties are expected in Q2 2015.
Buckhorn Creek, Jasper Canyon, and Frazier Creek Properties
The Buckhorn Creek and Jasper Canyon copper-molybdenum projects are located in the Laramide porphyry copper belt of
southern Arizona and the Frazier Creek copper-molybdenum project is located in the Battle Mountain-Eureka trend of north-
central Nevada. These properties were optioned to Savant in 2013 under three separate option agreements for cash, shares,
and work commitments (see EMX news release dated October 30, 2013). In Q3 2014, Eurasian regained 100% control of the
Jasper Canyon project after Savant elected to not exercise its option for the property.
BCE’s recognition of post-mineral structural relationships, and the application of alteration and geochemical zoning patterns
in that context, has identified untested porphyry copper targets at the Buckhorn Creek and Frazier Creek projects. Savant
completed an IP geophysical survey at Buckhorn Creek that highlighted two strong chargeability anomalies coincident with a
previously identified structural target, and continues to work on permitting for a drill test. Savant’s geologic mapping and
geochemical sampling at Frazier Creek confirmed alteration and anomalous copper-molybdenum over a 1.8 by 0.8 kilometer
area, and subsequently obtained drill permits. In October, Savant attempted to drill two separate holes into the target area, but
did not reach target depths due to poor drilling conditions within 100 meters of the collar.
Eurasian has reviewed the Jasper Canyon exploration data generated by Savant’s work, and believes that the target rocks
remain untested at shallow levels. Jasper Canyon is now available for partnership.
Copper Basin Property
The Copper Basin copper-molybdenum property, located in central Arizona, was acquired under a Regional Acquisition
Agreement with Vale S.A., a publicly traded Brazilian multinational diversified metals and mining Company, and advanced
under a “Designated Project” earn-in agreement. Surface exploration and drill results confirmed the presence of a porphyry
copper-molybdenum system with nearly a kilometer of vertical extent within a 1.5 square kilometer area of porphyry-style
alteration, mineralization, and related geophysical anomalies.
Vale funded a three hole diamond drill program totaling 1,140.1 meters completed in June 2014. Two of the holes, CB-14-01
and CB-14-02 were drilled in the western target area to test for sources of mineralized dikes and igneous breccias
encountered in the 2013 drill program, and both holes were terminated in anomalous (~0.04-0.20% Cu) to low-grade (0.2-
0.4% Cu) mineralization. Hole CB-14-01 intercepted anomalous to low-grade copper (molybdenum) mineralization at 240
meters that generally increased with depth from 286 meters to the end-of-hole at 387.1 meters. Hole CB-14-02 intercepted
multiple structurally controlled zones (~3-5 m in width) of weakly anomalous copper (molybdenum) mineralization. The
third hole, CB-14-03 was collared in the south-central portion of the central zone and intercepted strongly anomalous to low-
grade copper (molybdenum) mineralization along its entire 310.9 meter length. Vale relinquished its Copper Basin interest in
July 2014, with EMX regaining 100% control of the project. Vale spent more than US $3.5 million exploring the property by
completing geologic mapping, sampling, geophysical surveys, and 3,916 meters of drilling in two programs.
35
The Copper Basin project is available for partnership, with much of the original target untested by drilling. This target is
highlighted by alteration and mineral zoning that vectors towards a magnetic low interpreted to represent the shallower
portion of the copper-molybdenum system concealed beneath less altered host rocks. Refer to EMX news release dated July
27, 2013 and www.eurasianminerals.com for more information on Copper Basin exploration results and a description of the
QA and QC measures used for the project.
Superior West Property
The Superior West project is located west of the historic mining town of Superior, Arizona, and adjacent to Resolution
Copper’s property. The project covers several porphyry copper targets, as well as the interpreted western extension of the
historic Magma Vein. EMX regained 100% control of the property, after joint venture partner Freeport-McMoRan
Exploration Company (“Freeport”) of Phoenix, Arizona terminated its interest in the project in Q2 2014 due to budget cut
backs on all greenfields exploration projects.
EMX’s review of geophysical data received from Freeport’s earlier work identified a linear anomaly transecting a portion of
the property that coincides with the Company’s interpreted structural offset of the Magma Vein. Subsequently, EMX’s
ongoing geologic evaluation of the property resulted in the staking of additional prospective ground and the recognition of
another porphyry target in the southern portion of the property. Eurasian has been in discussions with several potential
partners interested in the property.
Lomitas Negras Property
EMX’s Lomitas Negras project is located in southeast Arizona, approximately 16 kilometers south of the San Manuel-
Kalamazoo deposit. The project contains isolated altered outcrops with anomalous base metals mineralization that occur
within a broad area of post-mineral cover rocks. An option agreement with Kennecott was announced in May 2014 (see EMX
news release dated May 15, 2014). After completing a reconnaissance diamond drill program during the third quarter, and
subsequently acquiring additional mineral rights, Kennecott relinquished its interest in the project. The property is available
for partnership.
Yerington West Property
The Yerington West joint venture property, located in the Yerington mining district of west-central Nevada, is partnered with
Entrée Gold Inc. (TSX: ETG; NYSE: EGI) of Vancouver, British Columbia (“Entrée”). The project comprises a porphyry
copper-molybdenum target, part of which was intersected in a 2012 drill program, and a copper-iron skarn target beneath
cover rocks. Entrée continued their work on the adjacent Ann Mason property, including a pre-feasibility drill program that
commenced in August 2014 (see ETG news release dated January 21, 2015).
EMX has a 100% interest in the Yerington West project until Entrée completes its initial earn-in requirements.
Other Work Conducted by Eurasian in the U.S.
EMX continued evaluation of property and royalty acquisition opportunities in North America, and streamlined the portfolio
by dropping low priority projects. The generative work focused on gold opportunities in the Great Basin and porphyry copper
targets in Arizona. EMX acquired the Sleeping Beauty and Águila de Cobre copper-molybdenum porphyry projects in
Arizona by staking open ground. EMX elected to drop the Red Hills project after termination of the joint venture by
GeoNovus, and also dropped the 100% EMX-controlled Cruiser Gold, Bullion Creek and Sand Pass projects located in
Nevada, Arizona, and Utah, respectively. In Alaska, the Company’s Moran Dome and Liberty royalty properties were
dropped by Gold Canyon Partners, and EMX elected to not reacquire the ground.

Dean D. Turner, CPG, a Qualified Person as defined by NI 43-101 and consultant to the Company, has reviewed, verified
and approved the above technical disclosure on North America.
Australia and New Zealand
EMX continued to execute the royalty generation and partnership business model in Australia and New Zealand. The
Koonenberry gold project in New South Wales, Australia is being advanced by partner companies under favorable royalty
agreements with EMX. In New Zealand, Eurasian executed a definitive agreement to sell the Neavesville gold-silver project,
and submitted applications for two new gold-silver exploration properties with historic resources.
36
Koonenberry Property
The Koonenberry project is positioned along the northwest trending, regional-scale Koonenberry fault in southeastern
Australia. This deep-seated structural zone has multiple splays that project into, and through, the project area. EMX
recognized that the distribution of gold occurrences and gold geochemical anomalies are coincident with these prominent
structural features.
In 2014, EMX announced the signing of an Exploration and Option Agreement (the “NQM Agreement”) with North
Queensland Mining Pty Ltd. (“NQM”), a privately-held Australian company, to earn a 100% interest in the subsidiary that
holds the EMX licenses, with EMX retaining a 3% production royalty upon earn-in (see EMX news release dated February
19, 2014 for more details). Subsequently, EMX was granted a new exploration permit covering 88.5 square kilometers that
were previously held under option by Eurasian. This newly granted EMX tenement was added under the NQM Agreement.
All of EMX’s interests in Koonenberry are being advanced by other companies, with EMX retaining various royalty interests
that cover the entire project area totaling over 1,400 square kilometers. The majority of the prospective ground covered by
this extensive royalty position remains unexplored.
Neavesville Property
The Neavesville project consists of a single exploration permit, resulting from the combination of two permits during 2014,
totaling over 30 square kilometers in the Hauraki goldfield of New Zealand’s North Island. EMX acquired Neavesville,
which covers an historic JORC gold-silver resource, on open ground with minimal cost. The property hosts epithermal gold-
silver mineralization that has geologic features similar to other deposits of the Hauraki goldfield, including Newmont’s
Martha Hill gold-silver mine located 25 kilometers to the southeast.
EMX has conducted reconnaissance geologic mapping, verification rock sampling, a CSAMT geophysical survey, and
reconnaissance reverse circulation drilling at Neavesville. These programs not only helped to independently confirm historic
areas of mineralization, but also identified new and untested gold-silver targets. EMX also concluded negotiations on a Joint
Venture and Access Agreement with landholders that will provide certainty and clarity for ongoing exploration within the
project area.
In November 2014, Eurasian announced a definitive agreement with Land & Mineral Limited (“L&M”), a privately-held
Australian company, giving L&M the right to acquire Hauraki Gold Ltd. (“Hauraki”), the wholly-owned EMX subsidiary
that controls the Neavesville property. The agreement with L&M provides for work obligations, staged payments, milestone
37
payments based upon JORC reserves, and commercial production payments, all to the benefit of Eurasian (see EMX news
release dated November 13, 2014).
The Neavesville exploration permit covers two main centers of epithermal gold-silver mineralization. The principal target,
named Trig Bluffs, has a historic near-surface inferred resource of 3.2 million tonnes averaging 2.7 g/t gold and 8.9 g/t silver,
and containing 289,000 ounces of gold and 944,000 ounces of silver (R. Brathwaite, IGNS report, 1999; 2001)1. In addition,
a separate higher-grade historic inferred mineral resource of approximately 0.47 million tonnes at 7.1 g/t gold and 20.7 g/t
silver, and containing 107,000 ounces of gold and 312,000 ounces of silver, was reported for mineralization at depth beneath
Trig Bluffs (R. Brathwaite, IGNS report, 1999; 2001)2. The district has recorded historic small scale production from the
high-grade Ajax Vein system, the single largest producing historic mine in the Neavesville camp, which will be the initial
target of an L&M funded drilling program slated for late March 2015.
See EMX news releases dated November 19, 2012 and November 13, 2014 for further details on the historic resource,
EMX’s exploration results, and a description of the QA and QC measures used by Eurasian for the Neavesville project.
1,2 A Qualified Person has not performed sufficient work to classify the historic estimates as current mineral resources, and
EMX is not treating the estimates as current mineral resources. The historic estimates should not be relied upon until they can
be confirmed. However, the drill-delineated Trig Bluffs gold-silver mineralization described by the IGNS report is
considered reliable and relevant.
The near-surface, historic resource estimate for the “upper zone” was based upon a cut-off grade of 0.7 g/t gold. The historic
inferred mineral resource for the deeper mineralization assumed a cut-off grade of 10 gram-meters (i.e. the product of the
gold grade and true width thickness of the drill hole intercept).

Europe
Eurasian continues to emphasize Scandinavia as a highly favorable jurisdiction for mineral exploration and development, and
has assembled a portfolio of 100% controlled projects in Sweden and Norway that are available for partnership. While
acquiring new properties at minimal cost in Norway, Eurasian is streamlining its portfolio of mineral properties in Sweden.
In addition, EMX also maintains royalty interests in its Viscaria project in northern Sweden, as well as a portfolio of
properties in Serbia that includes the Cukaru Peki copper-gold discovery.
Sweden
Eurasian’s portfolio in Sweden includes VMS and IOCG properties, in addition to known areas of copper, gold, and platinum
group element-enriched styles of mineralization. EMX holds a royalty interest in the Viscaria iron-copper property acquired
from the 2010 purchase of the assets of Phelps Dodge Exploration Sweden AB.
38
Exploration Projects EMX focused on retaining and advancing the most prospective exploration projects, while reducing
expenditures, during the year. Prior to 2014, much of EMX’s exploration work in Sweden was funded by a Strategic Alliance
and Earn-In Agreement with Antofagasta which focused on copper exploration from 2011-2013. The Company has been in
ongoing discussions with various parties regarding its available properties in Sweden described below.
The Sakkek-Pikkujärvi and Puoltsa projects are located in the Kiruna mining district of northern Sweden. The Sakkek-
Pikkujärvi property contains multiple IOCG-type copper, iron and gold targets, including a small historic copper
resource defined in the 1980s. The Puoltsa project is amidst a cluster of past producing mines, and hosts a number of
prospective mineral occurrences including drill defined zones of copper mineralization.
The Iekelvare project has widespread IOCG-style alteration/mineralization, and several untested targets. EMX’s work
generated multiple targets of structurally focused, high-grade zones of IOCG-style and porphyry-style copper-gold
mineralization that are ready for follow-up drilling.
The Adak project is located in the Skellefte mining district, and has a record of historic production from four small-scale
mines that exploited stratiform to stratabound chalcopyrite-rich VMS mineralization. Mineralization projected along
strike and down dip from the historic mines provides priority exploration targets.
The Storåsen property is a mafic metavolcanic-hosted Cu-PGE-Au system. Thirty-five shallow core holes were drilled
by the Geological Survey of Sweden (“SGU”) from 1980-1989, and a historic resource was defined by Popular
Resources in 2002 based upon the SGU’s drilling. EMX has identified multiple prospective targets, including extensions
of the historic resource, untested soil and base-of-till copper anomalies, and clusters of mineralized boulders.
The Gumsberg polymetallic (lead-zinc-silver-copper-gold) property occurs in the historic Bergslagen District of southern
Sweden. Gumsberg contains five historic mines that were active from the 1880s to 1920s, with production focused on
lead-zinc-silver mineralization from VMS-type deposits. In January 2015, a winter geophysical program was executed
on the Gumsberg project. Self-potential and magnetic data collected appear to map extensions of known bodies of
mineralization along strike, and have also identified new exploration targets.
Viscaria Royalty Property Avalon Minerals Ltd., a public company traded on the Australian Securities Exchange, announced
an updated scoping study for EMX’s Viscaria royalty property, including new JORC compliant resource estimates and open
pit optimization scenarios, in an August 28, 2014 news release. EMX holds a 1.0% net smelter return royalty over the
Viscaria 101 Exploration Permit, which includes the Zone A, Zone B and Zone D copper-iron resources described in
Avalon’s updated report. A Finnish company, Outokumpu Oyj, is entitled to receive 0.5% NSR royalty payable from EMX’s
royalty, resulting in Eurasian receiving net 0.5% NSR royalties until Outokumpu has received a total of $12 million in
royalty payments, after which time EMX will receive the full benefit of the 1.0% NSR royalty. The Viscaria project is an
IOCG-style deposit located in the Kiruna mining district in northern Sweden.
39
Norway
EMX initiated a program in 2014 to evaluate opportunities in Norway, and initially acquired the Burfjord and Storbekken
properties by acquiring open ground. Burfjord contains multiple IOCG-type targets in northern Norway, and is marked by
numerous small scale historic mines and prospects, as well as outcropping copper and gold mineralization. Storbekken hosts
multiple exposures of gold-enriched VMS-style mineralization near the historic Røros mining district in southern Norway. A
winter geophysical program was executed in January 2015 on the Storbekken project. Self-potential and magnetic data
collected appear to have identified new exploration targets.
In January 2015, the Hatt, Vaddas, and Melkedalen VMS projects were acquired by Eurasian after monitoring the status of
these areas for several years. These projects were available for direct purchase with minimal cost. The Vaddas and
Melkedalen properties host small tonnage zinc and copper historic resources.

EMX’s portfolio in Serbia initially resulted from early stage prospect generation and organic royalty growth from the sale of
its properties, including the Brestovac West, Deli Jovan, and Plavkovo projects, to Reservoir Minerals Inc. (“Reservoir”) in
2006. The terms of the sale included uncapped NSR royalties payable to EMX at a rate of 2% for gold and silver, and 1% for
all other metals. Subsequently, Eurasian acquired an uncapped 0.5% NSR royalty covering Reservoir’s share of minerals and
metals mined from the Brestovac and Jasikovo properties (see EMX news release dated February 4, 2014). The Brestovac,
Brestovac West, and Jasikovo properties are included in the Timok Project joint venture between Reservoir (45%) and
Freeport McMoRan Exploration Corp. (55%).
40
Brestovac hosts porphyry and epithermal copper-gold mineralization at the Cukaru Peki deposit. In January 2014, Reservoir
announced an initial NI 43-101 resource estimate for the Cukaru Peki deposit’s High Sulphidation Epithermal (HSE) zone of
copper and gold mineralization (see Reservoir news release dated January 27, 2014). According to Reservoir, the HSE
inferred resource above a 1% copper equivalent (CuEq% = Cu% + (Au g/t x 0.6)) cut-off was estimated to be 65.3 million
tonnes at an average grade of 2.6% copper and 1.5 grams per tonne (g/t) gold, or 3.5% copper-equivalent, containing 1.7
million tonnes (3.8 billion pounds) copper and 3.1 million ounces gold or 2.3 million tonnes (5.1 billion pounds) copper-
equivalent. Reservoir stated in its news release that the discovery at Cukaru Peki “demonstrates the potential for additional
blind discoveries within the Timok Magmatic Complex.”
Reservoir announced in a March 12, 2015 news release that a 2015 budget of US$ 18.7 million had been approved by the
Timok Project joint venture "to move the project forward toward the completion of a scoping study". EMX's Timok Project
royalty properties add strategic upside potential for Eurasian in one of the richest copper-gold mineral belts in Europe.

Haiti
Eurasian and joint venture partner Newmont Ventures Limited, a wholly owned subsidiary of Newmont, (collectively, the
“JV”) have a land position along a 130 kilometer trend of Haiti’s Massif du Nord mineral belt. Newmont is funding and
managing six joint venture Designated Projects across northern Haiti. EMX’s work on the 100% controlled Grand Bois gold-
copper project is not subject to the JV with Newmont.
41
The “designated projects” with Newmont and EMX’s Grand Bois Project have been on care and maintenance status since
2013, when the Haitian government suspended its Mining Convention process while it began working on a new mining law
with the help of the World Bank. The Government’s goal is to reform the mining law to be more consistent with current
international standards.
There were ongoing consultation meetings between the World Bank, the Government of Haiti, the JV and other mining
companies, and business community and civil society representatives to present comments on draft versions of the new
Haitian Mining Code. After the appointment of a new Prime Minister and the dissolution of Parliament in late 2014-early
2015, the government is now planning for legislative elections in late 2015. At this stage the JV does not expect further
progress on the new Mining Law until later in 2016.
EMX remains committed to supporting the process of reforming Haiti's Mining Law as a step towards developing the mining
sector and contributing to the country's economic growth.

Strategic Investments
IG Copper LLC
EMX is a strategic investor in IG Copper LLC (“IGC”), a privately held company that is in a joint venture with Freeport on
the Malmyzh copper-gold porphyry project in Far East Russia. IGC has a 51% ownership interest in the Malmyzh joint
venture, with Freeport retaining a 49% interest. IGC is operating and managing the project. The Salasinskaya and Shelekhovo
projects, 200 kilometers northeast of Malmyzh, are 100% controlled by IGC and not subject to the joint venture with
Freeport. EMX is IGC’s largest shareholder, with 42.3% of the issued and outstanding shares (39.7% equity position on a
fully-diluted basis) from investments totaling US$7.8 million.
42
Malmyzh Project
Malmyzh is a grassroots, district-scale discovery with 14 porphyry copper-gold prospects identified within a 16 by 5
kilometer intrusive corridor. The property’s 153 square kilometers of exploration and mining licenses occur 220 kilometers
northeast of the Russia-China border at Khabarovsk. Malmyzh has excellent logistics and infrastructure, including high
voltage power lines, a natural gas pipeline, a paved national highway, the Amur River, and a rail line that are all nearby to the
property.
Copper-gold mineralization occurs in diorite porphyry intrusives, as well as in hornfels-altered and stockworked sedimentary
wall rocks, and consists of near-surface zones (i.e., within 0.5 to 50 meters of the surface) of variable chalcocite enrichment
grading into chalcopyrite-rich and chalcopyrite-bornite-magnetite mineralization to depth. Much of the property has more
than 15 meters of cover and is undrilled, thereby providing considerable exploration upside potential for additional
discoveries.
The majority of drilling, totaling more than 70,000 meters in over 200 core holes, has concentrated on defining the Central,
Freedom, Valley, and Flats prospects at nominal 200 by 200 or 200 by 400 meter centers, and generally to less than 500
meters depth. All four prospects remain open at depth. Near-surface drill intercepts, starting at 1.0 to 43.9 meters, include1:
Central (AMM-035):
406.7 m @ 0.52% Cu & 0.29 g/t Au (0.69% Cu eq)
Freedom (AMM-056):
459.3 m @ 0.36% Cu & 0.41 g/t Au (0.61% Cu eq)
including 111.6 m @ 0.80% Cu & 1.01 g/t Au (1.41% Cu eq)
Valley (AMM-089):
459.2 m @ 0.47% Cu & 0.21 g/t Au (0.59% Cu eq)
including 99.4 m @ 0.69% Cu & 0.40 g/t Au (0.93% Cu eq)
Flats (AMM-002):
474.7 m @ 0.26% Cu & 0.28 g/t Au (0.43% Cu eq)
including 134.3 m @ 0.35% Cu & 0.45 g/t Au (0.62% Cu eq)
1 CuEq = Cu% + (Au g/t x 0.6). Metallurgical recoveries and net smelter returns are assumed to be 100%. Reported intervals
are interpreted as true widths in porphyry style mineralization. See Eurasian news releases dated September 6, 2012 and
November 5, 2013 for more information.
The copper-gold mineralization in these four deposits have potential open-pit geometries with low stripping ratios.
Mineralized zones averaging ~1 to 1.5% copper equivalent (i.e., AMM-041, 43.9 m @ 1.23 Cu% and 0.53 g/t Au, 1.55% Cu
eq) indicate the potential to delineate higher grade zones within the prospects by in-filling the 200 meter drill grids.
43
IGC advanced Malmyzh in 2014 by completing drafts of project reports in preparation for initial reviews by the relevant
Russian Federation agencies. As IGC continues to advance Malmyzh, several international mining companies have expressed
interest in the project.
Salasinskaya and Shelekhovo Projects
In 2014, IGC advised EMX that it had acquired the 260 square kilometers Salasinskaya property, located 20 kilometers from
IGC’s Shelekhovo project. Salasinskaya and Shelekhovo are 100% controlled by IGC. At Shelekhovo, historic government
exploration surveys identified multiple occurrences of gold, silver, and copper associated with quartz veining and alunite (see
EMX news release dated November 5, 2013). Salasinskaya is considered to be the northern extension of the Shelekhovo
anomaly cluster, and is marked by the widespread occurrence of quartz-alunite alteration. The Salasinskaya and Shelekhovo
properties occur along trend to the northeast of Malmyzh. Together, these three properties cover approximately 800 square
kilometers of exploration ground occurring along a 200 kilometer belt of prospective Cretaceous-age arc terrane rocks.
Further discussion of IGC’s exploration results and EMX’s due diligence data verification and QA and QC procedures can be
found in the Company’s September 6, 2012 and November 5, 2013 news releases.
Revelo Resources Corp.
EMX has a strategic investment in Revelo Resources Corp. (TSX-V: RVL), a company focused on the acquisition and
exploration of mineral properties in the prolific metallogenic belts of northern Chile. Revelo was formed from the merger of
Iron Creek Capital Corp. and Polar Star Mining Corp. in December 2014. Revelo has a corporate office in Vancouver
(Canada), a technical office in Santiago (Chile), and a strong shareholder base in Canada, the United States and London.
Revelo controls approximately 300,000 hectares of 100% owned exploration tenements. The portfolio is comprised of 16
exploration projects prospective for copper, gold and silver including five projects already under option or JV agreements
with Kinross Gold Company (Las Pampas Project), Newmont (Montezuma Project), and BHP Billiton (Block 2 Project). In
addition, Revelo retains one royalty interest in the Victoria Project, an important copper-gold-silver exploration project in
northern Chile.

Geothermal Royalties
EMX initiated a geothermal energy program in 2010, and acquired assets in Slovakia and Peru. Eurasian subsequently sold
its geothermal assets in 2013 to Starlight Geothermal Ltd. (“SGL”), a private company based in California, for cash
payments, an equity position in SGL, and gross royalties of 1.0% in Slovakia and 0.5% in Peru from future geothermal
energy production (see EMX news release dated August 7, 2013).
Slovakia
EMX’s geothermal royalty properties in Slovakia are located in the Ziar Basin of west-central Slovakia and the Pannonian
Basin in the eastern part of the country. SGL conducted additional geophysical, geological, and technical assessments of its
geothermal concessions in 2014. Eurasian understands that SGL is actively discussing project financing and power
purchasing agreements with various third parties in Europe.
Peru
EMX has royalties on four SGL geothermal licenses that occur in prospective regions of Peru’s Western and Eastern
Cordillera. SGL conducted technical, infrastructure, and market assessments during 2014, and Eurasian understands that SGL
is considering follow-up geophysical surveys and technical assessments for 2015.

ITEM 5. OPERATING AND FINANCIAL REVIEW AND PROSPECTS
Years Ended December 31, 2014, 2013 and 2012
GENERAL
This discussion and analysis of financial position and results of operations is prepared as at April 30, 2015 and should be read
in conjunction with the audited annual consolidated financial statements of the Company for the years ended December 31,
2014, 2013 and 2012 and the related notes thereto.
Those consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with International Financial Reporting Standards
(“IFRS”) as issued by the International Accounting Standards Board (“IASB”) and interpretations of the International
Financial Reporting Interpretations Committee (“IFRIC”).
Eurasian and its subsidiaries are engaged in the acquisition, exploration and evaluation of mineral assets in Turkey, Haiti,
Europe, USA and the Asia Pacific region, and the investment in a royalty income stream in Nevada, USA. The Company’s
common shares are listed on the TSX-V under the symbol of “EMX” and on the NYSE MKT under the symbol of “EMXX”.
The Company’s head office is located at 501 - 543 Granville Street, Vancouver, British Columbia, Canada V6C 1X8.
These consolidated financial statements have been prepared using IFRS applicable to a going concern, which assumes that
the Company will be able to realize its assets, discharge its liabilities and continue in operation for the following twelve
months.
On August 17, 2012, the Company and its wholly-owned subsidiary, EMX (Utah) Corp. completed an Agreement and Plan
of Acquisition with Bullion whereby the Company acquired 100% of the issued and outstanding shares of Bullion.
The Company’s working capital position at December 31, 2014 was $7,096,916. With its current plans for the year and the
budgets associated with those plans, in order to continue funding its administrative and exploration expenditures from the
date of this Form 20-F, the Company will need to obtain additional cash and anticipates either financing or selling one or
more of its assets.
Some of the Company’s activities for exploration and evaluation assets are located in emerging nations and, consequently,
may be subject to a higher level of risk compared to other developed countries. Operations, the status of mineral property
rights and the recoverability of investments in emerging nations can be affected by changing economic, legal, regulatory and
political situations.
At the date of these consolidated financial statements, the Company has not identified a known body of commercial grade
mineral on any of its exploration and evaluation assets. The ability of the Company to realize the costs it has incurred to date
on these exploration and evaluation assets is dependent upon the Company identifying a commercial mineral body, to finance
its development costs and to resolve any environmental, regulatory or other constraints which may hinder the successful
development of the exploration and evaluation assets.
These consolidated financial statements of the Company are presented in Canadian dollars unless otherwise noted, which is
the functional currency of the parent company and its subsidiaries except as to Bullion, the holder of a royalty income stream
whose functional currency is the United States (“US”) dollar.
DESCRIPTION OF BUSINESS
Eurasian is a Tier 1 company that trades on the TSX-V and the NYSE MKT. It is principally in the business of exploring for,
and generating royalties from, metals and minerals properties. The Company’s royalty and exploration portfolio mainly
consists of properties in North America, Turkey, Europe, Haiti, Australia, and New Zealand. The Company started receiving
royalty income as of August 17, 2012 when it acquired Bullion. This royalty cash flow helps to provide a foundation to
support the Company’s growth over the long term.
Eurasian operates as a royalty and prospect generator. Under the royalty and prospect generation business model, Eurasian
acquires and advances early-stage mineral exploration projects and then forms partnerships with other parties for a retained
royalty interest, as well as annual advanced royalty and other cash or share payments. Through its various agreements,
Eurasian also provides technical and commercial assistance to partner companies as the projects are advanced. By optioning
interests in its projects to third parties for a royalty interest, Eurasian a) reduces its exposure to the costs and risks associated
45
with mineral exploration and project development, while b) maintaining the opportunity to participate in early-stage
exploration upside, and c) developing a pipeline for potential production royalty payments and associated "brownfields"
discoveries in the future. This approach helps preserve the Company’s treasury, which can be utilized for further project
acquisitions and other business initiatives.
Strategic investments are an important complement to the Company’s royalty and prospect generation initiatives. These
investments are made in unrecognized or under-valued exploration companies identified by Eurasian. EMX helps to develop
the value of these assets, with exit strategies that can include royalty positions or equity sales.
EXPLORATION REVIEW
PROPERTY OVERVIEW
TURKEY
Eurasian holds multiple mineral property interests in Turkey’s Western Anatolia and Eastern Pontides mineral belts. The
properties include bulk tonnage gold, gold-silver vein, and porphyry gold-copper targets. Six of the seven EMX projects in
Turkey are being advanced by partner companies, with the portfolio consisting of two royalty properties and four properties
optioned for a retained royalty interest. A seventh property, the Sisorta epithermal gold project, is 49% controlled by
Eurasian and is currently available for sale or partnership.
Akarca Property
The Akarca Property is a 2006 Eurasian exploration discovery in Turkey’s Western Anatolia region. The Akarca Property is
currently wholly-owned by EMX. An Option Agreement (the "Akarca Agreement") was executed in June 2013 with
Çolakoğlu Ticari Yatirim A.S. ("Çolakoğlu"), a privately owned Turkish company, for a combination of cash payments, work
commitments, and an uncapped 3.5% NSR royalty interest to EMX's benefit (see EMX news release dated June 20, 2013).
From June 2013 through December 2014, Çolakoğlu conducted drilling, trenching, geological mapping, geochemical
sampling, and various project studies.
The Akarca project area currently has six drill defined zones of epithermal gold-silver oxide mineralization. Further, there
are several additional mineralized zones identified from reconnaissance level drilling and surface sampling. Since its
discovery, 244 core and reverse circulation holes totaling about 26,400 meters have been drilled at the Akarca project, most
with partner funding. As exploration continues, it is clear that the continuity of the near-surface oxide zones of higher grade
vein and disseminated styles of mineralization are being successfully defined at a 25 to 50 meter drill spacing. Furthermore,
ongoing reconnaissance and step-out drilling is demonstrating potential for new discoveries within broad areas mineralized
by the gold-silver epithermal system(s) at Akarca. Exploration successes at Akarca since 2006 have led to in-the-ground
investments of over US$12 million by partner companies.
In February 2015, Çolakoğlu requested, and was granted a six month extension to August 2015 for exercise of their option as
defined by the Akarca Agreement. Çolakoğlu paid EMX US$100,000 "earnest money" of the US$500,000 payment due at
the time of exercise, with the remaining US$400,000 due upon option exercise in August. Ongoing programs underway by
Çolakoglu include metallurgical and environmental assessment studies.
Sisorta Property
The Sisorta project, located in the Eastern Pontides mineral belt, is an epithermal gold deposit with a NI 43-101 mineral
resource at a 0.4 g/t cutoff of 91,000 indicated gold ounces from 3.17 million tonnes averaging 0.89 g/t, and 212,000 inferred
gold ounces from 11.38 million tonnes averaging 0.58 g/t. An overview of the methodology used to estimate these resources
are described in EMX’s news release dated June 26, 2009. It should be noted that 5,550 meters of drilling have been
completed since the resource was SEDAR filed in 2009, including the best intercept to date on the project (see discussion
below).
The major developments subsequent to the 2009 Sisorta Technical Report resulted from an option granted to Çolakoğlu to
buy the Sisorta property in 2012, but the agreement was terminated in 2013. Çolakoğlu advised that it completed a 46 hole,
5,500 meter diamond drill program and other work totaling approximately US$2.5 million in expenditures before terminating
its option. Chesser Resources Ltd. (“Chesser”) reported highlights from Çolakoğlu’s drilling in a June 19, 2013 news
release: a) the best drill intercept to date of 32.4 meters averaging 8.38 g/t gold and starting from the surface (true width
unknown), b) mineralized drill intercepts outside the current resource that increase the gold zone’s lateral extent, and c)
porphyry copper-gold targets that remain to be tested.
46
The Sisorta property had until recently been in a joint venture with project manager Chesser (51%) and EMX (49%). In
March 2015, EMX purchased Chesser's interest in the property, and assumed management of the project. As Sisorta is now a
100% controlled asset of EMX, the Company is evaluating the property's exploration upside, while pursuing partnership
opportunities with third parties.
Balya Royalty Property
The Balya royalty property is located in the historic Balya lead-zinc-silver mining district in northwestern Turkey. EMX
holds an uncapped 4% NSR royalty that it retained from the sale of the property to private Turkish mining company
Dedeman Madencilik San ve Tic. A.S. (“Dedeman”) in 2006 (see EMX news release dated November 14, 2006). EMX
understands that since acquiring the property, Dedeman drilled approximately 190 core holes totaling over 34,000 meters.
Dedeman's drilling in 2014 consisted of eleven holes that in-filled and extended the Hastanetepe zone's lead-zinc-silver
mineralization to the southeast. EMX has also been advised by Dedeman that they re-initiated shaft sinking and underground
development work at Hastanetepe in early 2015.
Other Property Interests
Eurasian has option agreements that include retained royalty interests for the Golcuk, Trab-23, and Alankoy exploration
properties:
The Golcuk copper-silver property is located in northeast Turkey. Pasinex Resources Ltd. (“Pasinex”) signed an
agreement in 2012 granting it an option to acquire a 100% interest in the Golcuk property for shares and work
commitments over a four year period, with EMX retaining a 2.9% NSR royalty interest. Pasinex completed five holes
totaling 994.4 meters at Golcuk in 2014 and is reviewing the results in context of its recently-received report on the
structural geology of the targeted area.
The Trab-23 property hosts both porphyry gold (copper-molybdenum) mineralization and epithermal quartz-barite-gold
veins. Tumad Madencilik Sanayi ve Ticaret A.S. ("Tumad"), a private Turkish company, executed an option agreement
(the “Trab-23 Agreement”) in 2013 granting it an option to acquire Trab-23 for in-ground spending requirements, annual
earn-in and pre-production payments, and payments based upon production. Tumad has notified Eurasian of its intention
to conduct an initial reconnaissance drill program on the property in 2015.
The Alankoy gold-copper property is located in the Biga Peninsula of northwestern Turkey. An Exploration and Option
Agreement with Ferrite Resources Ltd. (“Ferrite”), a privately-held Australian company, was executed in December
2013. Ferrite has the option to acquire the Alankoy project for work commitments, advance annual royalty payments, a
milestone payment based upon completion of a NI 43-101 or JORC compliant feasibility study, and 3% royalty
payments to EMX upon commercial production.
EMX has a royalty interest in the Aktutan polymetallic project sold to Dedeman in 2007 for considerations that also include a
4% uncapped NSR. The Sofular royalty property, also held by Dedeman, was dropped in Q1 2015 due to a lack of
encouraging exploration results.

and approved the above technical disclosure on Turkey.
NORTH AMERICA
Eurasian’s portfolio in North America, advanced through wholly-owned subsidiary Bronco Creek Exploration (“BCE”),
includes porphyry copper-molybdenum, porphyry copper-gold, bulk tonnage gold, and high-grade gold-silver vein projects.
The BCE portfolio is comprised of 22 properties covering more than 35,000 hectares in Arizona, Nevada, Utah, and
Wyoming. EMX currently has six properties partnered through BCE. In addition, there are five properties acquired in the
2012 merger with Bullion Monarch. Of these, four are EMX royalty properties, including the Northern Carlin Trend's
Leeville royalty (see Leeville and Royalty Property Overview section), and one is an exploration project available for
partnership.
The Company’s 2014 work focused on advancing partner funded projects, executing new agreements for available projects,
and balancing the portfolio by acquiring new properties on open ground while dropping low priority projects. Eurasian is in
discussions with a number of potential partners for the available North American properties.
47
Properties active through partner funded programs in 2014 are summarized below.
The Cathedral Well project is located at the southern end of Nevada's Battle Mountain-Eureka gold trend and surrounds
most of the historic Green Springs mine. Eurasian announced the execution of an option agreement with Ely Gold and
Minerals (“Ely Gold”) in June 2014 (see EMX news release dated July 7, 2014). Ely Gold may earn a 100% interest in
the property by making staged option payments and granting EMX a 2.5% NSR royalty, inclusive of an underlying 0.5%
NSR royalty. After earning 100% interest in the project, Ely Gold will pay EMX annual advance royalties until
commencement of commercial production.
The Copper King, Red Top, and Copper Springs properties are three porphyry copper-molybdenum projects located in
the Globe-Miami and Superior (Pioneer) mining districts of Arizona. EMX executed three separate Option Purchase
Agreements with Desert Star Resources Ltd. (“Desert Star”), whereby Desert Star could acquire a 100% interest in each
of the projects for cash, shares, and work commitments, after which EMX will retain a 2.5% NSR royalty (see EMX
news release dated September 4, 2013). Desert Star funded drill permitting and completion of geophysical surveys at
Copper King and Red Top. In January 2015, Eurasian regained 100% control of the Copper Springs project after Desert
Star elected to terminate its option for the property.
The Buckhorn Creek and Jasper Canyon copper-molybdenum projects are located in the Laramide porphyry copper belt
of southern Arizona and the Frazier Creek copper-molybdenum project is located in the Battle Mountain-Eureka trend of
north-central Nevada. These properties were optioned to Savant Explorations Ltd. (“Savant”) in 2013 under three
separate Exploration and Earn-in Agreements for cash, shares, and work commitments (see EMX news release dated
October 30, 2013). Savant funded various exploration programs at the three properties in 2014. In Q3 2014, Eurasian
regained 100% control of the Jasper Canyon project after Savant elected to terminate its option for the property.
The Copper Basin copper-molybdenum property, located in central Arizona, was acquired under a Regional Acquisition
Agreement with Vale and advanced under a Designated Project earn-in agreement. Surface exploration and drill results
confirmed the presence of a porphyry copper-molybdenum system with nearly a kilometer of vertical extent within a 1.5
square kilometer area of porphyry-style alteration, mineralization, and related geophysical anomalies. In 2014, Vale
funded a 1,140 meter diamond drill program, with all three holes intersecting anomalous to low grade copper
(molybdenum) mineralization. Vale relinquished its Copper Basin interest in July 2014 after spending more than $3.5
million on the property by completing geologic mapping, geochemical sampling, geophysical surveys, and 3,916 meters
of drilling in two programs. The Copper Basin project is available for partnership, with much of the original target
untested by drilling.
The Superior West project is located west of the historic mining town of Superior, Arizona, and adjacent to Resolution
Copper’s property. The project covers several porphyry copper targets, as well as the interpreted western extension of
the historic Magma Vein. EMX regained 100% control of the property, after joint venture partner Freeport-McMoRan
Exploration Company of Phoenix, Arizona (“Freeport”) terminated its interest in the project in 2014 due to budget cut
backs on all "greenfields" exploration projects. Eurasian has been in discussions with potential partners interested in the
property.
The Lomitas Negras project is located in southeast Arizona, approximately sixteen kilometers south of the San Manuel-
Kalamazoo deposit. An option agreement with Kennecott Exploration Company (“Kennecott”) was announced in May
2014 (see EMX news release dated May 15, 2014). After completing a reconnaissance diamond drill program, and
subsequently acquiring additional mineral rights, Kennecott relinquished its interest in the project. The property is
available for partnership.
The Yerington West joint venture property, located in the Yerington mining district of west-central Nevada, is partnered
with Entrée Gold Inc. (TSX: ETG; NYSE: EGI) of Vancouver, British Columbia (“Entrée”). The project hosts porphyry
copper-molybdenum and copper-iron skarn targets beneath cover rocks. Entrée continued their work on the adjacent
Ann Mason property, including a pre-feasibility drill program that commenced in August 2014 (see ETG news release
dated January 21, 2015). EMX has a 100% interest in the Yerington West project until Entrée completes its initial earn-
in requirements.
In addition, EMX continued evaluation of property and royalty acquisition opportunities in North America, and streamlined
the portfolio by dropping low priority projects. The generative work focused on gold opportunities in the Great Basin and
porphyry copper targets in Arizona. EMX acquired the Sleeping Beauty and Águila de Cobre copper-molybdenum porphyry
projects in Arizona by staking open ground. EMX elected to drop the Red Hills project after termination of the joint venture
by GeoNovus, and also dropped the 100% EMX-controlled Cruiser Gold, Bullion Creek and Sand Pass projects located in
Nevada, Arizona, and Utah, respectively. Subsequent to year end, the Silver Bell West option agreement with GeoNovus
was terminated with EMX regaining 100% interest in the project. In Alaska, the Company's Moran Dome and Liberty
royalty properties were dropped by Gold Canyon Partners, and EMX elected to not reacquire the ground.

and approved the above technical disclosure on North America.
AUSTRALIA AND NEW ZEALAND
The Company's programs in the Australia and New Zealand region have a low burn rate, and continue to identify new early-
stage opportunities. The Koonenberry gold project in New South Wales, Australia is being advanced by partner companies
under favorable royalty agreements with EMX. In New Zealand, Eurasian executed a definitive agreement to sell the
Neavesville gold-silver project, and submitted applications for two new gold-silver exploration properties with historic
resources.
Koonenberry Property
The Koonenberry project is positioned along the northwest trending, regional-scale Koonenberry fault in southeastern
Australia. This deep-seated structural zone has multiple splays that project into, and through, the project area. EMX
recognized that the distribution of gold occurrences and gold geochemical anomalies are coincident with these prominent
structural features.
In 2014, EMX announced the signing of an Exploration and Option Agreement (the “North Queensland Agreement”) with
North Queensland Mining Pty Ltd. (“NQM”), a privately-held Australian company, to earn a 100% interest in the subsidiary
that holds the EMX licenses, with EMX retaining a 3% production royalty upon earn-in (see EMX news release dated
February 19, 2014 for more details). Subsequently, EMX was granted a new exploration permit covering 88.5 square
kilometers that were previously held under option by Eurasian. This newly granted EMX tenement was added under the
North Queensland Agreement. All of EMX’s interests in Koonenberry are being advanced by partner companies, with EMX
retaining various royalty interests that cover the entire project area totaling over 1,400 square kilometers. The majority of the
prospective ground covered by this extensive royalty position remains unexplored.
Neavesville Property
The Neavesville project consists of a single exploration permit, combined from two permits during 2014, totaling over 30
square kilometers in the Hauraki goldfield of New Zealand's North Island. EMX acquired Neavesville, which covers a
historic JORC gold-silver resource, on open ground with minimal cost. The property hosts epithermal gold-silver
mineralization that has geologic features similar to other deposits of the Hauraki goldfield, including Newmont's Martha Hill
gold-silver mine located 25 kilometers to the southeast.
EMX has conducted reconnaissance geologic mapping, verification rock sampling, a CSAMT geophysical survey, and
reconnaissance reverse circulation drilling at Neavesville. These programs not only helped to independently confirm historic
areas of mineralization, but also identified new and untested gold-silver targets. EMX also concluded negotiations on a Joint
Venture and Access Agreement with landholders that will provide certainty and clarity for ongoing exploration within the
project area.
In November 2014, Eurasian announced a definitive agreement with Land & Mineral Limited (“L&M”), a privately-held
Australian company, giving L&M the right to acquire Hauraki Gold Ltd. (“Hauraki”), the wholly-owned EMX subsidiary
that controls the Neavesville property. The agreement with L&M provides for work obligations, staged payments, milestone
payments based upon JORC reserves, and commercial production payments, all to the benefit of Eurasian (see EMX news
release dated November 13, 2014). A L&M funded drilling program is scheduled to commence in late March 2015.

EUROPE
Eurasian continues to emphasize Scandinavia as a highly favorable jurisdiction for mineral exploration and development, and
has assembled a portfolio of 100% controlled projects in Sweden and Norway that are available for partnership. The
Company has significantly reduced expenditures in Scandinavia, and is examining ways to continue adding value while
49
pursuing strategic partnerships. In addition to the exploration properties in Sweden and Norway, EMX also maintains a
royalty interest in northern Sweden's Viscaria project, as well as a portfolio of royalty interests in Serbia that includes
Reservoir Mineral's Cukaru Peki copper-gold discovery.
Sweden
Eurasian’s portfolio in Sweden includes volcanogenic massive sulfide ("VMS") and Iron-Oxide-Copper-Gold ("IOCG")
properties, in addition to known areas of copper, gold, and platinum group element-enriched styles of mineralization. EMX
has focused on retaining and advancing the most prospective exploration projects, while reducing expenditures during the last
year. In February 2015, Eurasian closed its office in Kiruna with the intention of relocating to a more accessible and cost
effective location in southern Sweden, where much of Eurasian’s exploration work is now focused.
Much of EMX's earlier exploration work in Sweden was funded by a Strategic Alliance and Earn-In Agreement focused on
copper exploration with Antofagasta Minerals S.A. from 2011 to 2013. The Company has been in ongoing discussions with
potential partners regarding the available properties in Sweden that are summarized below.
The Sakkek-Pikkujärvi and Puoltsa projects are located in the Kiruna mining district of northern Sweden. The Sakkek-
Pikkujärvi property contains IOCG-type copper, iron and gold targets. Puoltsa is amidst a cluster of past producing
mines, and hosts a number of prospective mineral occurrences including drill defined zones of copper mineralization.
The Iekelvare project has widespread IOCG-style alteration/mineralization, and several untested targets.
The Adak project is located in the Skellefte mining district, and has a record of historic production from four small-scale
mines that exploited stratiform to stratabound chalcopyrite-rich VMS mineralization that provide priority exploration
targets along strike and down dip.
The Storåsen property is a mafic metavolcanic-hosted Cu-PGE-Au system. Thirty-five shallow core holes were drilled
by the SGU (the Geological Survey of Sweden) from 1980 to 1989, and a historic resource was defined by Popular
Resources in 2002 based upon the SGU's drilling.
The Gumsberg polymetallic (lead-zinc-silver-copper-gold) property occurs in the historic Bergslagen District of southern
Sweden. In January 2015, a winter geophysical program was executed that appears to map extensions of known bodies
of mineralization along strike, and has identified new exploration targets.
EMX holds a 1.0% NSR royalty interest in the Viscaria iron-copper property acquired from the 2010 purchase of the Phelps
Dodge Exploration Sweden AB assets. The Viscaria project is an IOCG-style deposit located in the Kiruna mining district in
northern Sweden. Avalon Minerals Ltd. (ASX:AVI) announced an updated Scoping Study for EMX's Viscaria royalty
property, including new JORC compliant resource estimates and open pit optimization scenarios, in an August 28, 2014 news
release. A Finnish company, Outokumpu Oyj, is entitled to receive 0.5% NSR payable from EMX’s royalty, resulting in
Eurasian receiving net 0.5% NSR royalties until Outokumpu has received a total of $12 million in royalty payments, after
which time EMX will receive the full 1.0% NSR royalty.
Norway
EMX initiated a program in 2014 to evaluate opportunities in Norway, and initially acquired the Burfjord and Storbekken
properties by acquiring exploration permits across open ground. Burfjord contains IOCG-type targets in northern Norway,
and is marked by numerous small scale historic mines and prospects, as well as outcropping copper and gold mineralization.
Storbekken hosts multiple exposures of gold-enriched VMS-style mineralization near the historic Røros mining district in
southern Norway. A winter geophysical program was executed in January 2015 on the Storbekken project that identified
new exploration targets.
In January 2015, the Hatt, Vaddas, and Melkedalen VMS projects were acquired by Eurasian after monitoring the status of
these areas for several years. These projects were available for direct acquisition with minimal cost. The Vaddas and
Melkedalen properties host small tonnage zinc and copper historic resources.
Royalty Properties in Serbia
EMX's portfolio in Serbia initially resulted from early stage prospect generation and organic royalty growth via the sale of its
properties, including the Brestovac West, Deli Jovan, and Plavkovo projects, to Reservoir Minerals Inc. (“Reservoir”) in
2006. The terms of the sale included uncapped NSR royalties payable to EMX at a rate of 2% for gold and silver, and 1% for
all other metals. Subsequently, Eurasian acquired an uncapped 0.5% NSR royalty covering Reservoir's share of minerals and
50
metals mined from the "Brestovac" and "Jasikovo" properties (see EMX news release dated February 4, 2014). The
Brestovac, Brestovac West, and Jasikovo properties are included in the Timok Project joint venture between Reservoir (45%)
and Freeport McMoRan Exploration Corp. (55%).
Brestovac hosts porphyry and epithermal copper-gold mineralization at the Cukaru Peki deposit. Reservoir announced a NI
43-101 inferred resource estimate for Cukaru Peki’s High Sulphidation Epithermal (HSE) zone above a 1% copper equivalent
(CuEq% = Cu% + (Au g/t x 0.6)) cut-off as 65.3 million tonnes averaging 2.6% copper and 1.5 g/t gold, or 3.5% copper
equivalent, containing 3.8 billion pounds copper and 3.1 million ounces gold, or 5.1 billion pounds copper equivalent (see
Reservoir news release dated January 27, 2014). Reservoir has stated that the discovery at Cukaru Peki “demonstrates the
potential for additional blind discoveries within the Timok Magmatic Complex.”
Reservoir announced in a March 12, 2015 news release that a 2015 budget of US$ 18.7 million had been approved by the
Timok Project joint venture "to move the project forward toward the completion of a scoping study". EMX's Timok Project
royalty properties add strategic upside potential for Eurasian in one of the richest copper-gold mineral belts in Europe.

HAITI
Eurasian and joint venture partner Newmont Ventures Limited, a wholly owned subsidiary of Newmont, (collectively, the
“JV”) have a land position along a 130 kilometer trend of Haiti’s Massif du Nord mineral belt. Newmont is funding and
managing six joint venture Designated Projects across northern Haiti. EMX’s work on the 100% controlled Grand Bois gold-
copper project is outside of the JV with Newmont.
The Designated Projects with Newmont and EMX's Grand Bois Project have been on care and maintenance status since
2013, when the Haitian Government suspended its Mining Convention process while it began working on a new Mining Law
with the help of the World Bank. The Government's goal is to reform the Mining Law to be more consistent with current
international standards.
There were ongoing consultation meetings between the World Bank, the Government of Haiti, the JV and other mining
companies, and business community and civil society representatives to present comments on draft versions of the new
Haitian Mining Code. After the appointment of a new Prime Minister and the dissolution of Parliament in late 2014-early
2015, the government is now planning for legislative elections in late 2015. At this stage the JV does not expect further
progress on the new Mining Law until later in 2016.
EMX remains committed to supporting the process of reforming Haiti's Mining Law as a step towards developing the mining
sector and contributing to the country's economic growth.

STRATEGIC INVESTMENTS
IG Copper LLC
EMX is a strategic investor in IG Copper LLC (“IGC”), a privately held company that is in a joint venture with Freeport on
the Malmyzh copper-gold porphyry project in Far East Russia. IGC has a 51% ownership interest in the Malmyzh joint
venture, with Freeport retaining a 49% interest. IGC is operating and managing the project. The Salasinskaya and
Shelekhovo projects, 200 kilometers northeast of Malmyzh, are 100% controlled by IGC and not subject to the joint venture
with Freeport. Eurasian was an early investor in IGC, and is its largest shareholder, with 42.3% of the issued and outstanding
shares (39.7% equity position on a fully-diluted basis) from investments totaling US$7.8 million.
Malmyzh is a grassroots, district-scale discovery with fourteen porphyry copper-gold prospects identified within a 16 by 5
kilometer intrusive corridor. The property's 153 square kilometers of exploration and mining licenses occur 220 kilometers
northeast of the Russia-China border at Khabarovsk. Malmyzh has excellent logistics and infrastructure, including high
51
voltage power lines, a natural gas pipeline, a paved national highway, the Amur River, and a rail line that are all nearby to the
property.
Copper-gold mineralization occurs in diorite porphyry intrusives, as well as in hornfels-altered and stockworked sedimentary
wall rocks, and consists of near-surface zones (i.e., within 0.5 to 50 meters of the surface) of variable chalcocite enrichment
grading into chalcopyrite-rich and chalcopyrite-bornite-magnetite mineralization to depth. The majority of drilling, totaling
more than 70,000 meters in over 200 core holes, has concentrated on defining the Central, Freedom, Valley, and Flats
prospects. Much of the property has more than 15 meters of cover and is undrilled, thereby providing considerable
exploration potential for additional discoveries. IGC advanced Malmyzh in 2014 by completing drafts of project reports in
preparation for review by the relevant Russian Federation agencies.
Also in 2014, IGC advised EMX that it had acquired the 260 square kilometer Salasinskaya property, located 20 kilometers
from IGC's Shelekhovo project. Salasinskaya and Shelekhovo are 100% controlled by IGC. At Shelekhovo, historic
government exploration surveys identified multiple occurrences of gold, silver, and copper associated with quartz veining
and alunite (see EMX news release dated November 5, 2013). Salasinskaya is considered to be the northern extension of the
Shelekhovo anomaly cluster, and is marked by the widespread occurrence of quartz-alunite alteration. The Salasinskaya and
Shelekhovo properties occur along trend to the northeast of Malmyzh. Together, these three properties cover approximately
800 square kilometers of exploration ground occurring along a 200 kilometer belt of prospective Cretaceous-age arc terrane
rocks.
Further discussion of IGC’s exploration results can be found in the Company’s September 6, 2012 and November 5, 2013
news releases.
Revelo Resources Corp. (formerly Iron Creek Capital Corp.)
EMX has a strategic investment in Revelo Resources Corp. (TSX-V: RVL, “Revelo”), a company focused on the acquisition
and exploration of mineral properties in the prolific metallogenic belts of northern Chile. Revelo was formed from the
merger of Iron Creek Capital Corp. and Polar Star Mining Corp. in December 2014. Revelo controls approximately 300,000
hectares of 100% owned exploration tenements. The portfolio is comprised of 16 exploration projects prospective for
copper, gold and silver including three projects already under option/JV agreements with Kinross Gold (Las Pampas Project),
Newmont Mining (Montezuma Project), and BHP Billiton (Block 2 project). In addition, Revelo retains one royalty interest
in the Victoria Project, an important copper-gold-silver exploration project in northern Chile.
EMX's investment in Revelo recognizes the untapped value in the property portfolio, as well as strong synergies with a
management team that has many decades of combined experience in Chile and Latin America.

GEOTHERMAL ROYALTIES
EMX initiated a geothermal energy program in 2010, and acquired assets in Slovakia and Peru. Eurasian subsequently sold
its geothermal assets in 2013 to Starlight Geothermal Ltd. ("SGL") for cash payments, an equity position in SGL, and gross
royalties of 1.0% in Slovakia and 0.5% in Peru from future geothermal energy production (see Company news release dated
August 7, 2013). SGL advised EMX that it had advanced the geothermal royalty assets in Slovakia and Peru during 2014 by
conducting technical, infrastructure, and market studies. Slovakia and Peru have proactive stances toward geothermal energy
projects that foster a favorable business climate for development and potential future revenue streams to EMX.
Operating Results
Year Ended December 31, 2014, 2013 and 2012
The net loss for the year ended December 31, 2014 (“FY14”) was $17,488,041 compared to $13,982,612 for the year ended
December 31, 2013 (“FY13”) and $20,902,053 for year ended December 31, 2012 (“FY12”). The loss for FY14 was made
up of net royalty income of $801,836 (2013 - $1,280,997; 2012 - $537,035) after depletion and related tax, net exploration
expenditures of $3,988,368 (2013 - $3,819,107; 2012 - $8,330,201), general and administrative expenditures of $5,495,087
(2013 - $5,142,738; 2012 - $9,393,196) and other losses totaling $12,122,893 (2013 - $8,694,709; 2012 - $3,730,368) offset
by a deferred income tax recovery of $3,356,471 (2013 - $2,392,945; 2012 - $291,595). Included in other losses is
52
$7,371,765 (2013 - $4,765,511; 2012 - $Nil) in impairment charges related to the Carlin Trend Royalty Claim Block and
related assets. Some items to note are:
Revenues
In FY14, royalty income was earned from $1,578 (2013 – 1,912; 2012 – 2,145) ounces of gold totaling $2,247,334 (2013 -
$3,102,888; 2012 - $1,750,975) offset by gold tax and depletion of $1,445,498 (2013 - $1,821,891; 2012 - $1,213,940) for
net royalty income of $801,836 (2013 - $1,280,997; 2012 – 537,035). The decrease in royalty income was mainly due to a
decrease in ounces produced and a lower realized gold price per ounce in the current period. In FY14 the average realized
gold price was US$1,263 per ounce compared to US$1,490 for 2013 and US$1,676 for 2012.
Exploration Expenditures
Exploration expenditures (gross) decreased by $2,749,688 in FY14 compared to FY13, and decreased by $3,871,904 in FY13
compared to FY12. Recoveries decreased by $2,918,949 in FY14 compared to FY13, and increased by $618,594 in FY13
compared to FY12 for a net increase in exploration expenditures of $169,261 in 2014 (FY2013 – decrease $4,511,094).
Some of the differences between 2014 and 2013 are as follows:
In Scandinavia, net expenditures increased by $770,179 compared to the prior period. During FY14, the Company
solely funded the Swedish activities as Antofagasta was previously funding the programs. In 2014, the Company
continued to support its exploration programs in Scandinavia, encouraged by decreasing levels of competition in the
minerals sector, and increasing availability of prospective ground that could be acquired at low cost. Eurasian spent
2014 filtering and upgrading its portfolio of assets, adding key copper, gold and polymetallic exploration projects in
both Sweden and Norway while relinquishing less prospective areas and project interests. At the same time,
Eurasian has continued to actively market its project interests in Scandinavia and will continue to do so in 2015.
Expenditures in 2014 were directed toward sustaining costs for its offices and personnel, as well as conducting
reconnaissance exploration across the region and hosting potential partners for site visits to various projects. In an
effort to reduce its operating costs, Eurasian has closed its field offices in Kiruna, Sweden, where the cost of goods,
services and rental properties has been steadily rising in recent years. Eurasian will relocate its operations to
southern Sweden, where much of its current activities are now focused and operating costs will be lower. Eurasian’s
staff in Scandinavia is also being retained on a consulting basis only, in order to keep costs low during times of
inactivity. In early 2015, Eurasian has been conducting winter exploration programs on various properties, but
expects lower expenditures in comparison with 2014 due to closure of the offices in Kiruna and overall streamlining
of its operations.
In the USA, gross expenditures decreased from $3,955,723 to $3,274,015 and recoveries decreased from $3,214,899
to $2,221,662. In the prior year the Company and partners GeoNovus and Vale undertook active programs at Silver
Bell West, Red Hills, and Copper Basin while there were no active programs for 2014. Gross expenditures on these
three projects decreased from US$2,300,192 to US$813,193. The decrease in expenditures was offset by
US$480,344 in expenditures related to Kennecott and Savant, pursuant to the new exploration and option
agreements on the Lomita Negris, Buckhorn Creek, Fraser Creek, and Jasper Canyon properties. The Americas
continue to represent a potentially high value, low cost exploration venue coupled with a large list of prospective
partners to conduct EMX’s business model. Despite tough market conditions, base-metal projects still appear to be
sought after and BCE is in discussions with several groups regarding its properties. A major focus of BCE for the
year will remain to partner available assets, reduce holding costs, and recover a portion of its burn.
In Turkey, gross expenditures decreased by $700,269, while net expenditures decreased by $328,943. In 2014, the
Turkish Business Unit continued to be a key value driver for Eurasian. Partner funded programs continued to
advance projects in the Eurasian portfolio, with all 7 projects in Turkey operating under partnerships in 2014.
Eurasian’s share of expenditures in Turkey related only to sustaining costs for the Ankara office, maintenance of the
Turkish staff, and ongoing reconnaissance exploration programs. In 2015, Eurasian will continue to reduce
expenditures. Given the stages of advancement for many of the exploration projects in the Turkish portfolio,
Eurasian will now change its focus from early stage, grass-roots style generative work, to working with partners on
advancing its projects and monitoring its royalty interests throughout the country. This work will be managed by
Dama Engineering (“Dama”), a well-respected consultant and engineering firm in the Turkish mining community.
Eurasian views its partnership with Dama as a key step in the evolution of its business interests in Turkey. As a
result, Eurasian will close its exploration office in Ankara, with its commercial enterprise now managed from the
Dama office in Ankara.
53
In the Asia Pacific region, net expenditures for 2014 totaled $627,496 compared to $549,109 in 2013. As is the case
with other business units, Eurasian is effecting strategic changes to its business approach in Australia and New
Zealand. Largely as a result of the challenging market conditions, Eurasian has been simultaneously acquiring low
cost exploration projects as other companies relinquish key land positions, while at the same time enacting its own
cost savings measures. Key steps in 2014 were the consolidation of the Koonenberry project in Australia to a royalty
property (see Company News Release dated February 19, 2014), and the partnership of the Neavesville project in
New Zealand (see Company News Release dated November 13, 2014). Prior to partnership, Eurasian had conducted
drilling at Neavesville in early 2014, and had negotiated a comprehensive access agreement with one of the local
Maori communities, providing ongoing access, and exploration and development rights across much of the
Neavesville license. Along with expenditures related to its ongoing reconnaissance exploration efforts, these led to
outlays of approximately $650,000 for 2014. With partnership of the Neavesville and Koonenberry projects,
Eurasian’s projected expenditures for Australia-New Zealand in 2015 will be markedly lower than 2014.
General and Administrative
General and administrative expenses (“G&A”) of $5,495,087 were incurred in 2014 compared to $5,142,738 in 2013 and
$9,393,196 in 2012. The Company’s business model is people intensive. Included in salaries and consultants of G&A
are the Company’s technical services and GIS group, in-house legal counsel and deal flow marketing team, senior
management including the General Manger of Exploration, Chief Geologist, and the executive management. G&A costs
(before share-based payments) have decreased each year since 2012 and we continue to strive to find areas to further
streamline and reduce the expenses of our business.
Administrative and office expenses of $926,095 remained consistent with FY13 ($982,239), however, a decrease
from FY12 ($1,258,292). The Company is headquartered in Vancouver and also has an office in Littleton, Colorado
which supports the exploration, technical, investor relations and deal flow aspects of the business.
Investor relations expenditures of $292,017 decreased slightly from $310,203 in FY13 and from $433,243 in FY12.
The Company attends select industry trade shows and supports lines of communication to current and potential
investors. Costs in the coming year are expected to be lower as the Company is more selective in its investor
relations activities.
Professional fees decreased by $105,556 to $457,963 in 2014 compared to $533,519 in 2013 and $764,914 in 2012
and cover mainly external legal and audit and tax fees. The company has been able to decrease its external legal
fees by the addition of its chief legal officer included in salaries and consultants.
Share-based payments include performance stock grants issued and stock options granted. The current year saw an
increase in share-based payments from $527,495 (FY13) to $1,030,411 (FY14) and decrease from $2,799,609 in
(FY12) as a result of the granting of stock options in 2014 and 2012, whereas there were no stock options granted in
2013.
Salaries and consultants are the largest expense in G&A. This expense category encompasses a broad range of
management, technical and project development and marketing support. It should be noted that many of our
personnel expenditures companywide are denominated in United States dollars (“USD”) and the increase in the
value of the USD compared to the Canadian dollar, which is our reporting currency, will increase expenditures.
A breakdown of this category is as follows:
In the coming year, the Company will continue to closely monitor all expenditure areas in the Company, and make changes
proactively as necessary.

Other
As a result of the decline in the production of gold from the Carlin Trend Royalty Claim Block, the Company
revised its estimated annual gold production over the expected 11 year mine life and updated the NAV and cash
flow multiples based on observed market conditions. As a result of these changes, the Company recorded
$7,371,765 (2013 - $4,765,511; 2012 - $Nil) in impairment charges related to the Carlin Trend Royalty Claim Block
and related assets that make up the same cash-generating unit (“CGU”).
As a result of the impairment noted above, the Company applied a one-step approach and determined the Carlin
Trend Royalty Claim Block and the related assets within the same CGU to be impaired. The loss was first applied
to reduce the asset component and any excess to goodwill within the CGU. As result, the Company has written
down the goodwill by $2,248,057 (2013 - $Nil; 2012 - $Nil).
The Company recorded a deferred income tax recovery of $3,356,471 compared to $2,392,945 in 2013 and 291,595
in 2012, and a net decrease in deferred tax liabilities of $2,493,010 (2013 - $1,779,707). A significant component of
the deferred tax recovery and decrease in the related liability was the royalty impairment.
The Company’s share of the net loss related to its 42.34% equity investment in IG Copper for the year ended
December 31, 2014 was $1,086,649 (2013 - $2,093,823; 2012 – $1,144,407).
SIGNIFICANT INVESTMENTS ACCOUNTED FOR BY THE EQUITY METHOD
The Company has a 49% equity investment in a private Turkish company with Chesser Resources Ltd., an Australian Stock
Exchange listed Exploration Company. At December 31, 2014, the Company’s investment in the joint venture was $Nil
(2013 - $Nil; 2012 - $Nil). The Company’s share of the net loss of the joint venture for the years ended December 31, 2014
and 2013 was $Nil (share of net loss for 2012 - $81,171).
The Company also has a 42.34% (2013 40.96%; 2012 – 30.66%) equity investment in IG Copper, LLC (“IGC”). At
December 31, 2014, the Company has paid an aggregate of $7,892,345 towards its investment (2013 - $6,829,309; 2012 -
$4,054,739).
At December 31, 2014, the Company’s investment less its share of accumulated equity losses was $4,072,737 (2013 -
$3,960,650; 2012 - $3,002,101). The Company’s share of the net loss for the year ended December 31, 2014 was $1,086,649
(2013 - $2,093,823; 2012 - $1,063,236).
The Company has a minority position on the Boards of its associated companies, and does not control operational decisions.
The Company’s judgment is that it has significant influence, but not control and accordingly equity accounting is appropriate.
As at December 31, 2014, associated companies’ aggregate assets, aggregate liabilities and net loss for the period are as

Summary of Significant Accounting Policies
Basis of Consolidation
The consolidated financial statements comprise the accounts of Eurasian, the parent company, and its controlled subsidiaries,
after the elimination of all significant intercompany balances and transactions.
Subsidiaries
Subsidiaries are all entities over which the Company has exposure to variable returns from its involvement and has the ability
to use power over the investee to affect its returns. The existence and effect of potential voting rights that are currently
exercisable or convertible are considered when assessing whether the Company controls another entity. Subsidiaries are fully
consolidated from the date on which control is transferred to the Company until the date on which control ceases.
The accounts of subsidiaries are prepared for the same reporting period as the parent company, using consistent accounting
policies. Inter-company transactions, balances and unrealized gains or losses on transactions are eliminated. The Company’s
principal operating subsidiaries are as follows:
Business Combinations
The acquisition method of accounting is used to account for business combinations by the Company. The consideration
transferred for the acquisition of a business is the fair values of the assets transferred, the liabilities incurred and the equity
interests issued by the Company. The consideration transferred includes the fair value of any asset or liability resulting from a
contingent consideration arrangement. Acquisition-related costs are expensed as incurred. Identifiable assets acquired and
liabilities and contingent liabilities assumed in a business combination are measured initially at their fair values at the
acquisition date. On an acquisition-by-acquisition basis, the Company recognizes any non-controlling interest in the acquiree
either at fair value or at the non-controlling interest’s proportionate share of the acquiree’s net assets. Subsequently, the
carrying amount of non-controlling interest is the amount of the interest at initial recognition plus the non-controlling
interest’s share of the subsequent changes in equity. Total comprehensive income is attributed to non-controlling interest
even if this results in the non-controlling interest having a deficit balance.
The excess of the consideration transferred, the amount of any non-controlling interest in the acquiree and the acquisition-
date fair value of any previous equity interest in the acquiree over the fair value of the identifiable net assets acquired is
recorded as goodwill. If this is less than the fair value of the net assets of the subsidiary acquired in the case of a bargain
purchase, the difference is recognized directly in the statement of loss.
The Company has made an earlier election in terms of IFRS 1 to apply the requirements of IFRS 3 (Revised) – Business
Combinations to all business combinations with effective dates on or after April 1, 2010. The classification and accounting
treatment of business combinations with effective dates prior to April 1, 2010 have not been considered.
Functional and Reporting Currency
The functional currency is the currency of the primary economic environment in which the entity operates. The functional
currency for the Company and its subsidiaries is the Canadian dollar except the functional currency of the operations of

Bullion Monarch which is the US dollar. The functional currency determinations were conducted through an analysis of the
consideration factors identified in IAS 21, The Effects of Changes in Foreign Exchange Rates.
Translation of transactions and balances
Foreign currency transactions are translated into the functional currency using the exchange rates prevailing at the dates of
the transactions or valuation where items are re-measured. Monetary assets and liabilities denominated in foreign currencies
are re-measured at the rate of exchange at each financial position date. Foreign exchange gains and losses resulting from the
settlement of such transactions and from the translation at period end exchange rates of monetary assets and liabilities
denominated in foreign currencies are recognized in profit or loss.
On translation of the entities whose functional currency is other than the Canadian dollar, revenues and expenses are
translated at the exchange rates approximating those in effect on the date of the transactions. Assets and liabilities are
translated at the rate of exchange at the reporting date. Exchange gains and losses, including results of re-translation, are
recorded in the foreign currency translation reserve.
Financial Instruments
All financial instruments are classified into one of the following four categories:
(a) Financial assets and financial liabilities at fair value through profit or loss (“FVTPL”)
Financial assets and financial liabilities classified as FVTPL are acquired or incurred principally for the purpose
of selling or repurchasing them in the near term. They are recognized at fair value based on market prices, with
any resulting gains and losses reflected in profit or loss for the period in which they arise.
(b) Held-to-maturity financial assets
Held-to-maturity financial assets are non-derivative financial assets with fixed or determinable payments and
fixed maturity that an entity has the positive intention and ability to hold to maturity. They are measured at
amortized cost using the effective interest rate method less any impairment loss. A gain or loss is recognized in
profit or loss when the financial asset is derecognized or impaired, and through the amortization process.
(c) Available for sale financial assets
Available for sale (“AFS”) financial assets are non-derivative financial assets that are designated as available for
sale, or that are not classified as loans and receivables, held-to-maturity investments, or FVTPL. They are
measured at fair value. Fair value is determined based on market prices. Equity instruments that do not have a
quoted market price in an active market are measured at cost. Gains and losses are recognized directly in other
comprehensive income (loss) until the financial asset is derecognized, at which time the cumulative gain or loss
previously recognized in accumulated other comprehensive income (loss) is recognized in profit or loss for the
period.
(d) Loans and receivables and other financial liabilities
Loans and receivables and other financial liabilities are measured at amortized cost, using the effective interest
rate method less any impairment loss.
The Company’s financial instruments consist of cash and cash equivalents, investments, receivables, restricted cash,
reclamation bonds, accounts payable and accrued liabilities, and advances from joint venture partners. Unless otherwise
noted the fair value of these financial instruments approximates their carrying values.
Cash and cash equivalents are classified as financial assets as loans and receivables and are accounted for at fair value. Cash
equivalents are held for the purpose of meeting short-term cash commitments rather than for investment or other purposes.
Warrants held through investments are classified as derivative financial assets at FVTPL and are accounted for at fair value.
For warrants that are not traded on an exchange, no market value is readily available. When there are sufficient and reliable
observable market inputs, a valuation technique is used; if no such market inputs are available, the warrants are valued at
intrinsic value, which is equal to the higher of the market value of the underlying security less the exercise price of the
warrant, or zero.
58
Marketable securities are classified FVTPL and are measured at fair market value. Marketable securities transferred to the
Company as part of an acquisition are classified as AFS and are carried at fair market value. Changes in fair value of FVTPL
assets are reflected in profit or loss in the period in which they occur. Changes in fair value of AFS assets are reflected in
accumulated other comprehensive income on the statement of financial position until sold or if there is an other than
temporary impairment in value.
Reclamation bonds are classified as financial assets held-to-maturity.
Restricted cash is classified as financial assets at FVTPL.
The Company classifies its receivables as loans and receivables and its accounts payable and accrued liabilities and advances
from joint venture partners as other financial liabilities.
Impairment of Financial Assets
Financial assets are assessed for indicators of impairment at the end of each reporting period. Financial assets are impaired
when there is objective evidence that, as a result of one or more events that occurred after the initial recognition of the
financial assets, the estimated future cash flows of the financial assets have been impacted.
For all financial assets, objective evidence of impairment could include:
Significant financial difficulty of the issuer or counterparty;
Default or delinquency in interest or principal payments; or,
It becoming probable that the borrower will enter bankruptcy or financial re-organization.
For certain categories of financial assets, that are assessed not to be impaired individually, are subsequently assessed for
impairment on a collective basis. The carrying amount of financial assets is reduced by the impairment loss directly for all
financial assets with the exception of receivables, where the carrying amount is reduced through the use of an allowance
account. When a receivable is considered uncollectible, it is written off against the allowance account. Subsequent recoveries
of amounts previously written off are credited against the allowance account. Changes in the carrying amount of the
allowance account are recognized in profit or loss.
With the exception of FVTPL marketable securities, if in a subsequent period, the amount of the impairment loss decreases
and the decrease can be related objectively to an event occurring after the impairment was recognized, the previously
recognized impairment loss is reversed through profit or loss to the extent that the carrying amount of the investment at the
date the impairment is reversed does not exceed what the amortized cost would have been had the impairment not been
recognized. In respect of AFS marketable securities, impairment losses previously recognized through profit or loss are not
reversed through profit or loss. Any increase in fair value subsequent to an impairment loss is recognized directly in equity.
Investments in Associated Companies
The Company accounts for its long-term investments in affiliated companies over which it has significant influence on the
equity basis of accounting, whereby the investment is initially recorded at cost, adjusted to recognize the Company’s share of
earnings or losses and reduced by dividends received.
The Company assesses its equity investments for impairment if there is objective evidence of impairment as a result of one or
more events that occurred after the initial recognition of the equity investment and that the event or events has an impact on
the estimated future cash flow of the investment that can be reliably estimated. Objective evidence of impairment of equity
investments includes:
Significant financial difficulty of the associated companies;
Becoming probable that the associated companies will enter bankruptcy or other financial reorganization; or,
National or local economic conditions that correlate with defaults of the associated companies.
Exploration and evaluation assets and exploration expenditures
Acquisition costs for exploration and evaluation assets, net of recoveries, are capitalized on a property-by-property basis.
Acquisition costs include cash consideration and the value of common shares, based on recent issue prices, issued for
exploration and evaluation assets pursuant to the terms of the agreement. Exploration expenditures, net of recoveries, are
59
charged to operations as incurred. After a property is determined by management to be commercially feasible, subsequent
development expenditures on the property will be capitalized.
When there is little prospect of further work on a property being carried out by the Company or its partners, when a property
is abandoned, or when the capitalized costs are no longer considered recoverable, the related property costs are written down
to management’s estimate of their net recoverable amount. The costs related to a property from which there is production,
together with the costs of production equipment, will be depleted and amortized using the unit-of-production method.
An exploration and evaluation asset acquired under an option agreement, where payments are made at the sole discretion of
the Company, is capitalized at the time of payment. Option payments received are treated as a reduction of the carrying value
of the related acquisition cost for the mineral property until the payments are in excess of acquisition costs, at which time
they are then credited to profit or loss. Option payments are at the discretion of the optionee and, accordingly, are accounted
for when receipt is reasonably assured.
Revenue recognition
The Company recognizes revenue in accordance with IAS 18 Revenue. Royalty revenue is recognized when persuasive
evidence of an arrangement exists, title and risk passes to the buyer, the amount of revenue can be measured reliably, it is
probable that the economic benefits associated with the sale will flow to the entity and the costs incurred in respect of the
transaction can be measured reliably. Royalty revenue may be subject to adjustment upon final settlement of estimated metal
prices, weights, and assays. Adjustments to revenue from metal prices are recorded monthly and other adjustments are
recorded on final settlement and are offset against revenue when incurred.
Royalty interests
Royalty interests in mineral properties include acquired royalty interests in production stage and exploration stage properties.
In accordance with IAS 38 Intangible Assets, the cost of acquired royalty interests in mineral properties is capitalized as
intangible assets.
Acquisition costs of production stage royalty interests are depleted using the units of production method over the life of the
related mineral property, which is calculated using estimated reserves. Acquisition costs of royalty interests on exploration
stage mineral properties, where there are no proven and probable reserves, are not amortized. At such time as the associated
exploration stage mineral interests are converted to proven and probable reserves, the cost basis is amortized over the
remaining life of the mineral property, using proven and probable reserves. The carrying values of exploration stage mineral
interests are evaluated for impairment at such time as information becomes available indicating that the production will not
occur in the future.
Goodwill
Goodwill represents the excess of the price paid for the acquisition of a consolidated entity over the fair value of the net
identifiable tangible and intangible assets and liabilities acquired in a business combination. Goodwill is allocated to the cash
generating unit to which it relates.
Goodwill is evaluated for impairment annually or more often if events or circumstances indicate there may be impairment.
Impairment is determined by assessing if the carrying value of a cash generating unit, including the allocated goodwill,
exceeds its recoverable amount.
Property and equipment
Property and equipment is recorded at cost. Equipment is depreciated over its estimated useful life using the declining
balance method at a rate of 20% per annum. Depreciation on equipment used directly on exploration projects is included in
exploration expenditures for that mineral property.
Decommissioning liabilities
Decommissioning liabilities are recognized for the expected obligations related to the retirement of long-lived tangible assets
that arise from the acquisition, construction, development or normal operation of such assets. A decommissioning liability is
recognized in the period in which it is incurred and when a reasonable estimate of the fair value of the liability can be made
with a corresponding decommissioning cost recognized by increasing the carrying amount of the related long-lived asset.
The decommissioning cost is subsequently allocated in a rational and systematic method over the underlying asset’s useful
60
life. The initial fair value of the liability is accreted, by charges to profit or loss, to its estimated future value. The Company
has no known decommissioning liabilities as of December 31, 2014 and 2013.
Environmental disturbance restoration
During the operating life of an asset, events such as infractions of environmental laws or regulations may occur. These events
are not related to the normal operation of the asset and are referred to as environmental disturbance restoration provisions.
The costs associated with these provisions are accrued and charged to profit or loss in the period in which the event giving
rise to the liability occurs. Any subsequent adjustments to these provisions due to changes in estimates are also charged to
profit or loss in the period of adjustment. These costs are not capitalized as part of the long-lived assets’ carrying value.
Impairment of assets
Events or changes in circumstances can give rise to significant impairment charges or reversals of impairment in a particular
year. The Company assesses its cash generating units annually to determine whether any indication of impairment exists.
Where an indicator of impairment exists, an estimate of the recoverable amount is made, which is the higher of the fair value
less costs to sell and value in use. The determination of the recoverable amount for value in use requires the use of estimates
and assumptions such as long-term commodity prices, discount rates, future capital requirements, exploration potential and
future operating performance. Fair value is determined as the amount that would be obtained from the sale of the asset in an
arm’s length transaction between knowledgeable and willing parties.
Cash and cash equivalents
Cash and cash equivalents include cash on hand, bank deposits and short-term, highly liquid investments that are readily
convertible to known amounts of cash.
Share-based payments
Share-based payments include option and stock grants granted to directors, employees and non-employees. The Company
accounts for share-based compensation using a fair value based method with respect to all share-based payments measured
and recognized, to directors, employees and non-employees. For directors and employees, the fair value of the options and
stock grants is measured at the date of grant. For non-employees, the fair value of the options and stock grants is measured
on the earlier of the date at which the counterparty performance is complete, or the date the performance commitment is
reached, or the date at which the equity instruments are granted if they are fully vested and non-forfeitable. For directors,
employees and non-employees, the fair value of the options and stock grants is accrued and charged to operations, with the
offsetting credit to share based payment reserve for options, and commitment to issue shares for stock grants over the vesting
period. If and when the stock options are exercised, the applicable amounts are transferred from share-based payment reserve
to share capital. When the stock grants are issued, the applicable fair value is transferred from commitment to issue shares to
share capital. Option based compensation awards are calculated using the Black-Scholes option pricing model while stock
grants are valued at the fair value on the date of grant.
Income taxes
Income tax expense consists of current and deferred tax. Income tax expense is recognized in profit or loss except to the
extent that it relates to items recognized directly in equity. Current tax is the expected tax payable on the taxable income for
the year, using tax rates enacted or substantively enacted at the reporting date, and any adjustment to tax payable in respect of
previous years. Deferred tax is calculated providing for temporary differences between the carrying amounts of assets and
liabilities for financial reporting purposes and the amounts used for taxation purposes.
Deferred tax is not recognized on the initial recognition of assets or liabilities in a transaction that is not a business
combination and that affects neither accounting nor taxable income nor loss. In addition, deferred tax is not recognized for
taxable temporary differences arising on the initial recognition of goodwill. Deferred tax is measured at the tax rates that are
expected to be applied to temporary differences when they reverse, based on the laws that have been enacted or substantively
enacted at the reporting date.
Deferred tax assets and liabilities are offset if there is a legally enforceable right to offset, and they relate to income taxes
levied by the same tax authority on the same taxable entity, or on different tax entities, but they intend to settle current tax
liabilities and assets on a net basis or their tax assets and liabilities will be realized simultaneously.
61
A deferred tax asset is recognized to the extent that it is probable that future taxable income will be available against which
the temporary difference can be utilized. Deferred tax assets are reviewed at each reporting date and are reduced to the extent
that it is no longer probable that the related tax benefit will be realized.
Income (loss) per share
Basic income or loss per share is calculated by dividing the net income or loss for the year by the weighted average number
of shares outstanding during the year. Diluted income or loss per share is calculated whereby the weighted average number
of shares outstanding used in the calculation of diluted income or loss per share assumes that the deemed proceeds received
from the exercise of stock options, share purchase warrants and their equivalents would be used to repurchase common
shares of the Company at the average market price during the year, if they are determined to have a dilutive effect.
Existing stock options and share purchase warrants have not been included in the current year computation of diluted loss per
share as to do so would be anti-dilutive. For the years presented the basic and diluted losses per share are the same.
Valuation of equity units issued in private placements
The Company has adopted a residual value method with respect to the measurement of shares and warrants issued as private
placement units. The residual value method first allocates value to the more easily measurable component based on fair
value and then the residual value, if any, to the less easily measurable component.
The fair value of the common shares issued in the private placements was determined to be the more easily measurable
component and were valued at their fair value, as determined by the closing quoted bid price on the day prior to the issuance
date. The balance, if any, was allocated to the attached warrants. Any fair value attributed to the warrants is recorded in
reserves.
Segment Reporting
Operating segments are reported in a manner consistent with the internal reporting provided to the chief operating decision-
maker. The chief operating decision-maker, who is responsible for allocating resources and assessing performance of the
operating segment, has been identified as the Chief Executive Officer.
New and amended IFRS pronouncements effective January 1, 2014
The Company has adopted the following new and revised standards, along with any consequential amendments, effective
January 1, 2014. These changes were made in accordance with the applicable transitional provisions.
IAS 32 Financial Instruments: Presentation (“Amended IAS 32”) was amended by the IASB in December 2011. The
amendment clarifies that an entity has a legally enforceable right to offset financial assets and financial liabilities if that right
is not contingent on a future event and it is enforceable both in the normal course of business and in the event of default,
insolvency or bankruptcy of the entity and all counterparties. The adoption of Amended IAS 32 did not have a significant
impact on the Company’s consolidated financial statements.
IAS 36 Impairment of Assets (“Amended IAS 36”) was amended by the IASB in May 2013. The amendments require the
disclosure of the recoverable amount of impaired assets when an impairment loss has been recognized or reversed during the
period and additional disclosures about the measurement of the recoverable amount of impaired assets when the recoverable
amount is based on fair value less costs of disposal, including the discount rate when a present value technique is used to
measure the recoverable amount. The adoption of Amended IAS 36 did not have a significant impact on the Company’s
consolidated financial statements.
IFRIC 21 Levies (“IFRIC 21”), an interpretation of IAS 37 Provisions, Contingent Liabilities and Contingent Assets (“IAS
37”), on the accounting for levies imposed by governments was issued by the IASB in May 2013. IAS 37 sets out criteria for
the recognition of a liability, one of which is the requirement for the entity to have a present obligation as a result of a past
event (“obligating event”). IFRIC 21 clarifies that the obligating event that gives rise to a liability to pay a levy is the activity
described in the relevant legislation that triggers the payment of the levy. IFRIC 21 is effective prospectively for annual
periods commencing on or after January 1, 2014. The adoption of IFRIC 21 did not result in an adjustment to the Company’s
consolidated financial statements.
62
Accounting pronouncements not yet effective
In May 2014, the IASB issued IFRS 15 Revenue from Contracts with Customers ("IFRS 15"), which supersedes IAS 11
Construction Contracts, IAS 18 Revenue, IFRIC 13 Customer Loyalty Programmes, IFRIC 15 Agreements for the
Construction of Real Estate, IFRIC 18 Transfers of Assets from Customers, and SIC 31 Revenue - Barter Transactions
involving Advertising Services. IFRS 15 establishes a single five-step model framework for determining the nature, amount,
timing and uncertainty of revenue and cash flows arising from a contract with a customer. The standard is effective for annual
periods beginning on or after January 1, 2017, with early adoption permitted. The Company is currently evaluating the
impact the final standard is expected to have on its consolidated financial statements.
The IASB intends to replace IAS 39 Financial Instruments: Recognition and Measurement in its entirety with IFRS 9
Financial Instruments (“IFRS 9”) which is intended to reduce the complexity in the classification and measurement of
financial instruments. The IASB has determined that the revised effective date for IFRS 9 will be January 1, 2018. The
Company is currently evaluating the impact the final standard is expected to have on its consolidated financial statements.
Critical Accounting Judgments and Significant Estimates and Uncertainties
The preparation of the consolidated financial statements requires management to make judgments and estimates and form
assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements, and the reported
revenue and expenses during the periods presented therein. On an ongoing basis, management evaluates its judgments and
estimates in relation to assets, liabilities, royalty revenues and expenses. Management bases its judgments and estimates on
historical experience and on other various factors it believes to be reasonable under the circumstances. Actual results may
differ from these estimates under different assumptions and conditions.
The Company has identified the following critical accounting policies in which significant judgments, estimates and
assumptions are made and where actual results may differ from these estimates under different assumptions and conditions
and may materially affect financial results or the financial position reported in future periods. Further details of the nature of
these assumptions and conditions may be found in the relevant notes to the consolidated financial statements.
a) Royalty interest and related depletion
In accordance with the Company’s accounting policy, royalty interests are evaluated on a periodic basis to determine whether
there are any indications of impairment. If any such indication exists, a formal estimate of recoverable amount is performed
and an impairment loss recognized to the extent that carrying amount exceeds recoverable amount. The recoverable amount
of a royalty asset is measured at the higher of fair value less costs to sell and value in use. The determination of fair value and
value in use requires management to make estimates and assumptions about expected production and sales volumes, the
proportion of areas subject to royalty rights, commodity prices (considering current and historical prices, price trends and
related factors), and reserves. These estimates and assumptions are subject to risk and uncertainty; hence there is a possibility
that changes in circumstances will alter these projections, which may impact the recoverable amount of the assets. In such
circumstances, some or all of the carrying value of the assets may be further impaired or the impairment charge reduced with
the impact recorded in profit or loss.
b) Goodwill
Goodwill is evaluated for impairment annually or more often if events or circumstances indicate there may be impairment.
Impairment is determined by assessing if the carrying value of a cash generating unit, including the allocated goodwill,
exceeds its recoverable amount. The assessment of the recoverable amount used in the goodwill impairment analysis is
subject to similar judgments and estimates as described above for property and equipment and royalty interests.
c) Exploration and Evaluation Assets
Recorded costs of exploration and evaluation assets are not intended to reflect present or future values of exploration and
evaluation assets. The recorded costs are subject to measurement uncertainty and it is reasonably possible, based on existing
knowledge, that a change in future conditions could require a material change in the recognized amount.
d) Taxation
The Company’s accounting policy for taxation requires management’s judgment as to the types of arrangements considered
to be a tax on income in contrast to an operating cost. Judgment is also required in assessing whether deferred tax assets and
certain deferred tax liabilities are recognized on the statement of financial position. Deferred tax assets, including those
63
arising from unused tax losses, capital losses and temporary differences, are recognized only where it is considered probable
that they will be recovered, which is dependent on the generation of sufficient future taxable profits. Deferred tax liabilities
arising from temporary differences caused principally by the expected royalty revenues generated by the royalty property are
recognized unless expected offsetting tax losses are sufficient to offset the taxable income and therefore, taxable income is
not expected to occur in the foreseeable future. Assumptions about the generation of future taxable profits depend on
management’s estimates of future cash flows. These depend on estimates of future production and sales volumes, commodity
prices, and reserves. Judgments are also required about the application of income tax legislation in foreign jurisdictions.
These judgments and assumptions are subject to risk and uncertainty, hence there is a possibility that changes in
circumstances will alter expectations, which may impact the amount of deferred tax assets and deferred tax liabilities
recognized on the statement of financial position and the amount of other tax losses and temporary differences not yet
recognized. In such circumstances, some or the entire carrying amount of recognized deferred tax assets and liabilities may
require adjustment, resulting in a corresponding credit or charge to profit or loss.
ACQUISITION OF BULLION MONARCH MINING, INC.
On February 7, 2012, the Company and its wholly-owned subsidiary, EMX (Utah) Corp. signed an Agreement and Plan of
Merger (the “Acquisition”) with Bullion Monarch Mining, Inc. (“Bullion”) whereby the Company agreed to acquire 100% of
the issued and outstanding shares of Bullion in consideration for 0.45 of each of the Company’s common shares and US$0.11
in cash for each Bullion common share issued and outstanding. In addition, outstanding Bullion warrants have been replaced
by Eurasian warrants exercisable upon the same terms and conditions as under the applicable agreement, except that each
replacement warrant shall be exercisable for 0.45 of each of Eurasian’s common shares and US$0.11 in cash in lieu of one
Bullion common share.
On August 17, 2012, the acquisition of Bullion was completed following approval by Bullion shareholders at a special
meeting held on the same day.
The transaction has been accounted for as a business combination in accordance with IFRS 3, Business Combinations. As
per IFRS 3, the Company has recognized, separately from goodwill, identifiable assets acquired, and liabilities assumed in
Bullion at their fair values on the acquisition date. Accordingly, the Company has determined certain fair value adjustments
for the assets and liabilities of Bullion as of August 17, 2012, the closing date of the Acquisition. Furthermore, to reflect the
fair value increment of $39,536,000 (US$40,000,000) to the royalty property held by Bullion which generates royalty
income, the Company engaged an independent valuator to estimate the fair value of the royalty generating property. The
independent valuator applied the discounted cash flow model and estimated the fair value of the royalty income stream at
$39,536,000. Consequently, the assets and liabilities in the Bullion purchase price allocation are based on their estimated fair
value as shown below.
Goodwill represents the excess of the purchase price over the estimated fair value of assets acquired and liabilities assumed
of Bullion. The Goodwill is not deductible for tax purposes. The deferred tax liabilities are recognized primarily due to
temporary differences between the accounting value and tax basis of the royalty property assets that may result in potential
taxable amounts in future years. Subsequent to the closing of the Acquisition, the deferred income tax liabilities will be
adjusted in the period of enactment for the effect of an enacted change in tax laws or rates. The effect, which could be
significant, will be included in profit or loss from operations.
The aggregate amount of the total acquisition consideration is $36,441,148, determined by taking into account the issuance of
the Company’s 17,712,289 common shares valued at $32,059,062, the obligation for 1,125,000 warrants valued at $102,653
to replace Bullion’s outstanding warrants and the payment of $4,279,433.
The following summarizes the consideration transferred and the recognized amounts of assets acquired and liabilities
assumed at the acquisition date.
64
The value of the Company’s common shares was calculated based on the issuance of the Company’s 17,712,189 common
shares at a price per share of $1.81 which was the TSX Venture Exchange closing price of the Company’s common share on
August 17, 2012, the closing date of the Acquisition.
The cash payment of $4,279,433 is based on cash consideration per share of US$0.11 for each of the 39,360,518 Bullion
common shares outstanding immediately prior to the completion of the Acquisition.
The assumption and replacement of Bullion warrants is valued using the Black-Scholes option pricing model. The
assumptions used in Black-Scholes option pricing model are as follows: share price of $1.81, adjusted exercise price of $2.39
less the warrant cash consideration of US$0.11, dividend yield of 0%, expected life of 0.62 years, volatility of 44.66% and
risk-free interest rate of 1.21%. Volatility of 44.66% represents the historical volatility that the Company has used to value
similar equity instruments. The fair value of the 1,125,000 replacement warrants is based on Bullion’s outstanding 2,500,000
warrants adjusted by a factor of 0.45 of each of the Company’s common share per Bullion warrant.
5.B. Liquidity and Capital Resources
The Company’s working capital position at December 31, 2014 was $7,096,916 (December 31, 2013 - $14,217,999;
December 31, 2012 - $22,702,855). With its current plans for the year and the budgets associated with those plans, in order
to continue funding its administrative and exploration expenditures for beyond twelve months from the date of this Form 20-
F, the Company will need to obtain additional cash and anticipates either financing or selling one or more of its assets.
Historically, the Company obtains its cash requirements through the issuance of shares, funding from joint venture partners,
royalty income, attracting additional joint venture partners and the sale of available investments and marketable securities all
of which are used to finance further property acquisitions, explore and develop its mineral properties, and obtain strategic
investments.
Operating Activities
Cash used in operations was $4,781,944 for the year ended December 31, 2014 (2013 - $5,785,887; 2012 - $14,369,528) and
represents expenditures primarily on mineral property exploration and general and administrative expense for both periods,
offset by royalty income received in the period.
Financing Activities
The Company received $Nil in 2014 (2013 - $361,600; 2012 - $1,049,670) from the exercise of stock options and $Nil in
2014 (2013 - $Nil; 2012 - $1,898,995) from the exercise of warrants.

6.B. Compensation
The Compensation Committee of the Board is responsible for ensuring that the Company has appropriate procedures for
executive compensation and making recommendations to the Board with respect to the compensation of the Company’s
executive officers. The Compensation Committee’s mandate is to ensure that total compensation paid to all executives is fair
and reasonable and is consistent with the Company’s compensation philosophy.
The Compensation Committee is also responsible for recommending compensation for the directors and officers, stock
options grants to the directors, officers, employees and consultants pursuant to the Company’s Stock Option Plan (the
“Option Plan”) and issuances of Common Shares to directors and officers pursuant to the Company’s Incentive Stock Grant
Program (the “Stock Grant Program”).
The Compensation Committee is currently comprised of Brian Bayley (Chairman), Brian Levet, and Larry Okada, all of
whom are independent directors. The board is satisfied that the composition of the Compensation Committee ensures an
objective process for determining compensation.
Philosophy
The philosophy used by the Board and the Compensation Committee in determining compensation is that the compensation
should (i) assist the Company in attracting and retaining high caliber executives, (ii) align the interests of executives with
those of the Shareholders, (iii) reflect the executive’s performance, expertise, responsibilities and length of service to the
Company, and (iv) reflect the Company’s current state of development, performance and financial status.
Compensation Components
The compensation of the Named Executive Officers (“NEOs”) (as well as for other senior management and employees) is
comprised primarily of (i) base salary, (ii) annual short-term incentives in the form of cash bonuses and stock grants under
the Stock Grant Program, (iii) long-term incentives in the form of stock grants and stock options granted in accordance with
the Option Plan and the Stock Grant Program, respectively, and (iv) benefits related to health and pension plans, such as
United States 401(k) plans.
To be competitive with industry rates, the Company may provide additional compensation from time to time in the form of
stock grants as part of annual salaries. The Stock Grant Program assists the Company in employee retention and cash
preservation, while encouraging Common Share ownership and entrepreneurship on the part of its executives (as well as the
Board, and management and other employees of the Company). The Compensation Committee believes that annual and long
68
term stock grant awards align the interests of such persons with the interests of Shareholders by linking a component of
compensation to the longer term performance of the Common Shares.
To date, no formulas have been developed to assign a specific weighting to each of these components. Instead, the
Compensation Committee considers the Company’s performance and, based on its assessment, recommends appropriate
compensation levels to the Board. In establishing levels of cash and equity-based compensation, the executive’s performance,
level of expertise, responsibilities, length of service to the Company and comparable levels of remuneration paid to
executives of other companies of comparable size and development within the mining exploration and development
industries are considered as well as taking into account the financial and other resources of the Company.
In March 2015, the Compensation Committee retained the services of McDowall Associates Human Resource Consultants
Ltd. (“McDowall”), a North American external compensation consultant headquartered in Toronto, Ontario, to provide an
independent review of the compensation paid by the Company to its CEO and CFO. McDowall benchmarked the Company’s
compensation arrangements against a peer group of companies that included a mix of royalty companies and exploration
companies with assets greater than $30 million and less than $450 million to reflect the Company’s current business
operations. McDowall used total assets as the primary determinate of company size because it is more stable over time than
either revenue or market capitalization. The peer group of companies consisted of:
Almaden Minerals Limited
Altius Minerals Corporation
Callinan Royalties Corporation
Gold Standard Ventures Corporation
Midway Gold Corporation
Mirasol Resources Limited
Osisko Gold Royalties Limited
Pilot Gold Inc.
Panoro Minerals Limited
Sandstorm Gold Limited
Seabridge Metals Limited
Strategic Metals Limited
In addition to the peer group analysis, McDowall compared CEO and CFO compensation against a broad group of 90 mining
companies and 12 large mining companies. With respect to the broad group of 90 mining companies, direct comparisons
were made to CEO and CFOs, while for the 12 large mining companies, comparisons were made to an executive one or two
levels below the CEO.
McDowall compared base salary, total cash (base salary + bonuses) and total direct compensation (total cash + long term
incentives). In making this comparison, McDowall used an average of the peer group companies and the broad group of 90
mining companies to establish a benchmark for comparison (“Benchmark Companies”).
McDowall concluded that the cash base salary of the CEO is higher than the Benchmark Companies average and below the
large mining group. It also concluded, respect to total cash and total direct compensation, that the Company’s CEO is
comparable to the Benchmark Companies average and substantially below the large mining group. It should be noted that the
CEO’s cash salary is paid in US dollars but converted to Canadian dollars for reporting purposes. The Canadian equivalent
was used in the comparison to the Benchmark Companies. The higher base salary of the CEO to the Benchmark Companies
is partly attributable to the decline in the Canadian dollar against the US dollar in 2014.
McDowall concluded that the base salary, total cash, and total direct compensation for the CFO was below the Benchmark
Companies and substantially below the larger mining group of companies.
In the Company’s last two financial years, McDowall has not provided any other services to the Company or its affiliates.
The fees charged by McDowall during the Company’s 2014 and 2013 financial years were as follows:

The Compensation Committee also relies on the experience of its members as officers and directors at other companies in
similar lines of business as the Company in assessing compensation levels. The purpose of this process is to:
69
•
•
•
understand the competitiveness of current pay levels for each executive position relative to companies with similar
business characteristics;
identify and understand any gaps that may exist between actual compensation levels and market compensation
levels; and
establish a basis for developing salary adjustments and short-term and long-term incentive awards for the
Compensation Committee’s approval.
Base Salary
The Compensation Committee recommends, and the Board establishes, the NEO’s salary. The base salary review for each
NEO is based on assessment of factors such as changes to competitive market conditions, compensation levels within the
peer group and particular skills, such as leadership ability and management effectiveness, experience, responsibility and
proven or expected performance of the particular individual. Using this information, together with budgetary guidelines and
other internally and externally generated planning and forecasting tools, the Compensation Committee performs an annual
assessment of the compensation of the CEO and CFO. The Company did not increase the base salaries of the CEO and CFO
for 2013 and 2014 and do not have base salary increases planned for 2015.
Annual Bonuses
Annual bonuses are made by way of cash bonuses and the issuance of stock grants based, in part, on the Company’s success
in reaching its annual objectives and in part on individual performance and extraordinary effort and achievement. Also, the
Company may utilize bonuses to encourage retention of its staff during periods of increased industry competition for its
executive officers and other employees.
The Board, together with the Compensation Committee, reviews corporate performance objectives during the year to
determine annual bonuses. In 2014, the principal performance factors and objectives included:
Exploration success;
Acquisition of new properties;
Sale and joint venture of properties;
Royalty creations and acquisitions;
Capital management;
Successful management of the Company’s environmental, community, and safety objectives;
Increasing market capitalization; and
Management of human resources.
The success of the NEOs’ contributions to the Company in reaching its overall goals is a factor in the determination of their
annual incentive. The Compensation Committee assesses each NEO’s performance on the basis of his or her respective
contribution to the achievement of corporate goals as well as to needs of the Company that arise on a day-to-day basis. This
assessment is used by the Compensation Committee in developing its recommendations to the Board with respect to the
determination of annual incentives for the NEOs.
Although a number of the corporate performance objectives were achieved, the Company did not grant any annual bonuses
by way of cash or stock grants to NEOs for 2014.
Long-Term Incentives
Stock Options are generally granted on an annual basis subject to the imposition of trading black-out periods, in which case
options scheduled for grant will be granted subsequent to the end of the black-out period. All options granted to NEOs are
recommended by the Compensation Committee and approved by the Board. In monitoring stock option grants, the
Compensation Committee takes into account the level of options granted by comparable companies for similar levels of
70
responsibility and considers each NEO or employee based on reports received from management, its own observations on
individual performance (where possible) and its assessment of individual contribution to Shareholder value.
To determine the number of Common Shares issuable under options granted pursuant to the methodology outlined above, the
Compensation Committee also makes the following determinations:
the exercise price for each option granted;
the date on which each option is granted;
the vesting terms for each stock option; and
the other materials terms and conditions of each stock option grant.
The Compensation Committee makes these determinations subject to, and in accordance with, the provision of the Option
Plan. The Company granted stock options in April 2014.

Based on 73,444,710 shares outstanding as of 04/29/2015
Stock Options. The Board established the Option Plan to attract and motivate the directors, officers and employees of the
Company (and any of its subsidiaries), employees of any management company and consultants to the Company (collectively
the “Optionees”) and thereby advance the Company’s interests by providing them an opportunity to acquire an equity interest
in the Company through the exercise of stock options granted to them under the Option Plan.
Pursuant to the Option Plan, the Board, based on the recommendation of the Compensation Committee, may grant options to
Optionees in consideration of them providing their services to the Company or a subsidiary. The number of Common Shares
subject to each option is determined by the Board within the guidelines established by the Option Plan. The options enable
the Optionees to purchase Common Shares at a price fixed pursuant to such guidelines. The options are exercisable by the
Optionee giving the Company notice and payment of the exercise price for the number of Common Shares to be acquired.
The Option Plan authorizes the Board to grant stock options to the Optionees on the following terms:
1.
2.
The number of Common Shares subject to issuance pursuant to outstanding options, in the aggregate, cannot exceed
10% of the outstanding Common Shares.
The number of Common Shares subject to issuance upon the exercise of options granted under the Option Plan by
one Optionee or all Optionees providing investor relations services is subject to the following limitations
(a)
no Optionee can be granted options during a 12 month period to purchase more than
(i)
5% of the issued Common Shares unless disinterested Shareholder approval has been obtained
(such approval has not been sought), or
76
(ii)
2% of the issued Common Shares, if the Optionee is a consultant, and
(b)
the aggregate number of Common Shares subject to options held by all Optionees providing investor
relations services cannot exceed 2% in the aggregate.
3.
Unless the Option Plan has been approved by disinterested Shareholders (such approval has not been obtained),
options granted under the Option Plan, together with all of the Company’s previously established and outstanding
stock options, stock option plans, employee stock purchase plans or any other compensation or incentive
mechanisms involving the issuance or potential issuance of Common Shares, shall not result, at any time, in
(a)
(b)
(c)
the number of Common Shares reserved for issuance pursuant to stock options granted to insiders
exceeding 10% of the outstanding Common Shares at the time of granting,
the grant to insiders, within a one year period, of options to purchase that number of Common Shares
exceeding 10% of the outstanding Common Shares, or
the issuance to any one insider and such insider’s associates, within a one year period, of Common Shares
totaling in excess of 5% of the outstanding Common Shares.
The exercise price of the options cannot be set at less than the greater of $0.10 per Common Share and the closing
trading price of the Common Shares on the day before the granting of the stock options. If the Optionee is subject to
the tax laws of the United States of America and owns (determined in accordance with such laws) greater than 10%
of the Common Shares, the exercise price shall be at least 110% of the price established as aforesaid.
The options may be exercisable for up to 10 years.
There are not any vesting requirements unless the Optionee is a consultant providing investor relations services to
the Company, in which case the options must vest over at least 12 months with no more than one-quarter vesting in
any three month period. However, the Board may impose additional vesting requirements and, subject to obtaining
any required approval from the Exchange, may authorize all unvested options to vest immediately. If there is a
potential “change of control” of the Company due to a take-over bid being made for the Company or a similar event,
all unvested options, subject to obtaining any required approval from the Exchange, shall vest immediately.
The options can only be exercised by the Optionee (to the extent they have already vested) for so long as the
Optionee is a director, officer or employee of, or consultant to, the Company or any subsidiary or is an employee of
the Company’s management Company and within a period thereafter not exceeding the earlier of:
(a)
the original expiry date;
(b)
90 days after ceasing to be a director, officer or employee of, or consultant at the request of the Board or for
the benefit of another director or officer to, the Company unless the Optionee is subject to the tax laws of
the United States of America, in which case the option will terminate on the earlier of the 90th day and the
third month after the Optionee ceased to be an officer or employee; and
(c)
if the Optionee dies, within one year from the Optionee’s death.
If the Optionee is terminated “for cause”, involuntarily removed or resigns (other than at the request of the Board or
for the benefit of another director or officer) from any such positions, the option will terminate concurrently.
The options are not assignable except to a wholly-owned holding company. If the option qualifies as an “incentive
stock option” under the United States Internal Revenue Code, the option is not assignable to a holding company.
No financial assistance is available to Optionees under the Option Plan.
Any amendments to outstanding stock options are subject to the approval of the TSX-V and NYSE MKT and, if
required by either exchange or the Option Plan, of the Shareholders of the Company, possibly with only
“disinterested Shareholders” being entitled to vote. Disinterested Shareholder approval must be obtained for the
reduction of the exercise price of options (including the cancellation and re-issuance of options within a one year
period so as to effectively reduce the exercise price) of options held by insiders of the Company. The amendment to
an outstanding stock option will also require the consent of the Optionee.

The Option Plan does not permit stock options to be transformed into stock appreciation rights.

Stock Grant Program.
The Board created the Incentive Stock Grant Program for the benefit of the officers and directors of the Company in 2010,
and expanded the Program in 2011. The grants have a two-year vesting period.
The purpose of the Stock Grant Program is as follows. Firstly, to reward and provide an incentive to such persons for the
ongoing efforts towards the continuing successes and goals of the Company as many of its successes directly result from their
very significant efforts. Secondly, to provide such persons with a long-term incentive to remain with the Company. Finally,
from time to time, the Company may provide additional compensation in the form of stock grants as part of annual salaries.
The Stock Grant Program provides that, following the approval of the independent members of the Compensation
Committee, up to 300,000 Common Shares may be awarded in each year. The Common Shares awarded will vest and be
issued in three separate tranches over a two year period – on the date of grant, and on the first and second anniversaries of the
initial grant. None of the 300,000 Common Shares not awarded in one year can be rolled over or awarded in subsequent
years. If the recipient ceases to be a director or officer of the Company before the relevant anniversary, he or she will not be
entitled to receive any further Common Shares under the Stock Grant Program, including Common Shares previously
awarded for issuance on such anniversary (with the exception of historical stock grants to Mr. Michael Winn, who shall
receive the Common Shares even if he ceases to the be director).
The actual number of Common Shares awarded in each year is that number recommended and approved by the independent
members of the Compensation Committee or independent directors of the Company.
In addition to the Stock Grant Program, the Compensation Committee can recommend the Board approve the issuance of up
to 700,000 Common Shares to certain officers and directors of the Company as performance based discretionary bonuses.
The purposes of the bonuses are to reward these individuals for their extraordinary efforts and to provide them with a long
term incentive to remain with the Company. Any such share grants are subject to the approval of by the TSX-V and NYSE
MKT and, if required by either exchange, the independent Shareholders of the Company.

There are no limitations on the rights to own securities.
There is no provision of the Company’s articles that would have an effect of delaying, deferring or preventing a change in
control of the Company and that would operate only with respect to a merger, acquisition or corporate restructuring involving
the Company (or any of its subsidiaries).
Shareholder ownership must be disclosed to the British Columbia Securities Commission and the TSX Venture Exchange by
any shareholder who owns more than 10% of the Company’s common stock.

Canada has no system of exchange controls. There are no Canadian restrictions on the repatriation of capital or earnings of a
Canadian public company to non-resident investors. There are no laws in Canada or exchange restrictions affecting the
remittance of dividends, profits, interest, royalties and other payments to non-resident holders of the Company’s securities,
except as discussed in ITEM 10, ”Taxation" below.
Restrictions on Share Ownership by Non-Canadians - There are no limitations under the laws of Canada or in the
organizing documents of the Company on the right of foreigners to hold or vote securities of the Company, except that the
Investment Canada Act may require review and approval by the Minister of Industry (Canada) of certain acquisitions of

shares of the Company (a "U.S. Holder") who deals at arm's length with the Company, holds the shares as capital property
and who, for the purposes of the Income Tax Act (Canada) (the "Act") and the Canada – United States Income Tax
Convention (the "Treaty"), is at all relevant times resident in the United States, is not and is not deemed to be resident in
Canada and does not use or hold and is not deemed to use or hold the shares in carrying on a business in Canada. Special
rules, which are not discussed below, may apply to a U.S. Holder that is an insurer that carries on business in Canada and
elsewhere.
Under the Act and the Treaty, a U.S. Holder of common shares will generally be subject to a 15% withholding tax on
dividends paid or credited or deemed by the Act to have been paid or credited on such shares. The withholding tax rate is 5%
where the U.S. Holder is a Company that beneficially owns at least 10% of the voting shares of the Company and the
dividends may be exempt from such withholding in the case of some U.S. Holders such as qualifying pension funds and
charities.
In general, a U.S. Holder will not be subject to Canadian income tax on capital gains arising on the disposition of shares of
the Company unless (i) at any time in the five-year period immediately preceding the disposition, 25% or more of the shares
of any class or series of the capital stock of the Company was owned by (or was under option of or subject to an interest of)
the U.S. holder or persons with whom the U.S. holder did not deal at arm's length, and (ii) the value of the common shares of
the Company at the time of the disposition derives principally from real property (as defined in the Treaty) situated in
Canada. For this purpose, the Treaty defines real property situated in Canada to include rights to explore for or exploit
mineral deposits and other natural resources situated in Canada, rights to amounts computed by reference to the amount or
value of production from such resources, certain other rights in respect of natural resources situated in Canada and shares of a
Company the value of whose shares is derived principally from real property situated in Canada.
The US Internal Revenue Code provides special anti-deferral rules regarding certain distributions received by US persons
with respect to, and sales and other dispositions (including pledges) of stock of, a passive foreign investment company. A
foreign Company, such as the Company, will be treated as a passive foreign investment company if 75% or more of its gross
income is passive income for a taxable year or if the average percentage of its assets (by value) that produce, or are held for
the production of, passive income is at least 50% for a taxable year. The Company believes that it was a passive foreign
investment company as at December 31, 2011.
Dividends
A Holder will be subject to Canadian withholding tax ("Part XIII Tax") equal to 25%, or such lower rate as may be available
under an applicable tax treaty, of the gross amount of any dividend paid or deemed to be paid on common shares. Under the
Canada-U.S. Income Tax Convention (1980) as amended by the Protocols signed on 6/14/1983, 3/28/1984, 3/17/1995, and
7/29/1997 (the "Treaty"), the rate of Part XIII Tax applicable to a dividend on common shares paid to a Holder who is a
resident of the United States and who is the beneficial owner of the dividend, is 5%. If the Holder is a company that owns at
least 10% of the voting stock of the Company paying the dividend, and, in all other cases, the tax rate is 15% of the gross
amount of the dividend. The Company will be required to withhold the applicable amount of Part XIII Tax from each
dividend so paid and remit the withheld amount directly to the Receiver General for Canada for the account of the Holder.
Disposition of Common Shares
A Holder who disposes of a common share, including by deemed disposition on death, will not normally be subject to
Canadian tax on any capital gain (or capital loss) thereby realized unless the common share constituted "taxable Canadian
property" as defined by the Tax Act. Generally, a common share of a public Company will not constitute taxable Canadian
property of a Holder if the share is listed on a prescribed stock exchange unless the Holder or persons with whom the Holder
did not deal at arm's length alone or together held or held options to acquire, at any time within the five years preceding the
disposition, 25% or more of the shares of any class of the capital stock of the Company. The Canadian Venture Exchange is
a prescribed stock exchange under the Tax Act. A Holder who is a resident of the United States and realizes a capital gain on
a disposition of a common share that was taxable Canadian property will nevertheless, by virtue of the Treaty, generally be
90
exempt from Canadian tax thereon unless (a) more than 50% of the value of the common shares is derived from, or from an
interest in, Canadian real estate, including Canadian mineral resource properties, (b) the common share formed part of the
business property of a permanent establishment that the Holder has or had in Canada within the 12 month period preceding
the disposition, or (c) the Holder is an individual who (i) was a resident of Canada at any time during the 10 years
immediately preceding the disposition, and for a total of 120 months during any period of 20 consecutive years, preceding the
disposition, and (ii) owned the common share when he ceased to be resident in Canada.
A Holder who is subject to Canadian tax in respect of a capital gain realized on a disposition of a common share must include
three quarters of the capital gain (taxable capital gain) in computing the Holder's taxable income earned in Canada. The
Holder may, subject to certain limitations, deduct three-quarters of any capital loss (allowable capital loss) arising on a
disposition of taxable Canadian property from taxable capital gains realized in the year of disposition in respect to taxable
Canadian property and, to the extent not so deductible, from such taxable capital gains realized in any of the three preceding
years or any subsequent year.
United States Taxation
For federal income tax purposes, an individual who is a citizen or resident of the United States or a domestic Company ("U.S.
Taxpayer") will recognize a gain or loss on the sale of the Company's common shares equal to the difference between the
proceeds from such sale and the adjusted tax basis of the common shares. The gain or loss will be a capital gain or capital
loss if the Company's common shares are a capital asset in U.S. Taxpayer's hands.
For federal income tax purposes, a U.S. Taxpayer will be required to include in gross income dividends received on the
Company's common shares. A U.S. Taxpayer who pays Canadian tax on a dividend on common shares will be entitled,
subject to certain limitations, to a credit (or alternatively, a deduction) against federal income tax liability. A domestic
Company that owns at least 10% of the voting shares should consult its tax advisor as to applicability of the deemed paid
foreign tax credit with respect to dividends paid on the Company's common shares.
Under a number of circumstances, a United States Investor acquiring shares of the Company may be required to file an
information return with the Internal Revenue Service Center where they are required to file their tax returns with a duplicate copy
to the Internal Revenue Service Center, Philadelphia, PA 19255. In particular, any United States Investor who becomes the
owner, directly or indirectly, of 10% or more of the shares of the Company will be required to file such a return. Other filing
requirements may apply, and United States Investors should consult their own tax advisors concerning these requirements.
The US Internal Revenue Code provides special anti-deferral rules regarding certain distributions received by US persons
with respect to, and sales and other dispositions (including pledges) of stock of, a passive foreign investment company. A
foreign Company, such as the Company, will be treated as a passive foreign investment company if 75% or more of its gross income is
passive income for a taxable year or if the average percentage of its assets (by value) that produce, or are held for the production of, passive
income is at least 50% for a taxable year. The Company believes that it was a passive foreign investment company for the taxable year
ended 12/31/2014.

ITEM 11. QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURES ABOUT MARKET RISK
Credit Risk
The Company is exposed to credit risk by holding cash and cash equivalents and receivables. This risk is
minimized by holding a significant portion of the funds in Canadian banks. The Company’s exposure with respect
to its receivables is primarily related to royalty streams and recovery of exploration evaluation costs.
91
Interest Rate Risk
The Company is exposed to interest rate risk because of fluctuating interest rates. Management believes the
interest rate risk is low given the current low global interest rate environment. Fluctuations in market rates is not
expected to have a significant impact on the Company’s operations due to the short term to maturity and no
penalty cashable feature of its cash equivalents.
Market Risk
The Company is exposed to market risk because of the fluctuating values of its publicly traded marketable
securities and other company investments. The Company has no control over these fluctuations and does not
hedge its investments. Based on the December 31, 2014 portfolio values, a 10% increase or decrease in effective
market values would increase or decrease net shareholders’ equity by approximately $104,000.
Liquidity Risk
Liquidity risk is the risk that the Company is unable to meet its financial obligations as they come due. The
Company manages this risk by careful management of its working capital to ensure the Company’s expenditures
will not exceed available resources.

ITEM 15. CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES
Disclosure Controls and Procedures
The Company’s management is responsible for establishing and maintaining disclosure controls and procedures to provide
reasonable assurance that material information related to the Company, including its consolidated subsidiaries, is made
known to senior management, including Chief Executive Officer (“CEO”) and the Chief Financial Officer (“CFO”), by
others within those entities on a timely basis so that appropriate decisions can be made regarding public disclosure.
We carried out an evaluation, under the supervision and with the participation of our management, including our Principal
Executive Officer and our Principal Financial Officer, of the effectiveness of the design and operation of our disclosure
controls and procedures (as defined in Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e)) under the Securities and Exchange Act of 1934, as
amended) as of December 31, 2014. The Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer concluded that the disclosure
controls and procedures as of December 31, 2014, were effective to give reasonable assurance that the information required
to be disclosed by the Company in reports that it files or submits under the Exchange Act is (i) recorded, processed,
summarized and reported, within the time periods specified in the SEC’s rules and forms, and (ii) accumulated and
communicated to management, including the Chief Executive Office and Chief Financial Officer, as appropriate to allow
timely decisions regarding required disclosure.
92
Management’s Annual Report on Internal Control over Financial Reporting
The Company’s management is responsible for designing, establishing and maintaining a system of internal controls over
financial reporting (as defined in Exchange Act Rule 13a-15(f)) to provide reasonable assurance that the financial
information prepared by the Company for external purposes is reliable and has been recorded, processed and reported in an
accurate and timely manner in accordance with GAAP. The Board of Directors is responsible for ensuring that management
fulfills its responsibilities. The Audit Committee fulfills its role of ensuring the integrity of the reported information through
its review of the interim and annual financial statements. Management reviewed the results of their assessment with the
Company’s Audit Committee.
Because of its inherent limitations, the Company’s internal control over financial reporting may not prevent or detect all
possible misstatements or frauds. Also, projections of any evaluation of effectiveness to future periods are subject to the risk
that controls may become inadequate because of changes in conditions, or that the degree of compliance with policies or
procedures may deteriorate.
To evaluate the effectiveness of the Company’s internal control over financial reporting, Management has used the Internal
Control - Integrated Framework, which is a suitable, recognized control framework established by the Committee of
Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission (COSO). Management has assessed the effectiveness of the
Company’s internal control over financial reporting and concluded that such internal control over financial reporting is
effective as of December 31, 2014.
Limitations on the Effectiveness of Controls
The Company's management, including the CEO and CFO, does not expect that our Disclosure Controls or our Internal
Controls will prevent all errors and all fraud. A control system, no matter how well designed and operated, can provide only
reasonable, not absolute, assurance that the objectives of the control system are met. Further, the design of a control system
must reflect the fact that there are resource constraints, and the benefits of controls must be considered relative to their costs.
Because of the inherent limitations in all control systems, no evaluation of controls can provide absolute assurance that all
control issues and instances of fraud, if any, within the Company have been detected. These inherent limitations include the
realities that judgments in decision-making can be faulty, and that breakdowns can occur because of simple error or mistake.
Additionally, controls can be circumvented by the individual acts of some persons, by collusion of two or more people, or by
management override of the control. The design of any system of controls also is based in part upon certain assumptions
about the likelihood of future events, and there can be no assurance that any design will succeed achieving its stated goals
under all potential future conditions; over time, control may become inadequate because of changes in conditions, or the
degree of compliance with the policies or procedures may deteriorate. Because of the inherent limitations in a cost-effective
control system, misstatements due to error or fraud may occur and not be detected.
Changes in Internal Controls Over Financial Reporting
There has been no change in the Company’s internal control over financial reporting that occurred during the period covered
by this Form 20-F, that has materially affected or is reasonably likely to materially affect, the Company’s internal control
over financial reporting.
ITEM 16A. AUDIT COMMITTEE FINANCIAL EXPERT
The Company’s Board has determined that Messrs. Lim, Bayley and Okada qualify as financial experts (as defined in Item
407(d)(5) of Regulation S-K under the U.S. Exchange Act), are financially sophisticated (as determined in accordance with
Section 803B(2)(iii) of the NYSE MKT Company Guide), and are independent (as determined under U.S. Exchange Act
Rule 10A-3 and Section 803A of the NYSE MKT Company Guide).
ITEM 16B. CODE OF ETHICS
The Board of Directors of the Company has responsibility for the stewardship of the Company including responsibility for
strategic planning, identification of the principal risks of the Company’s business and implementation of appropriate systems
to manage these risks, succession planning (including appointing, training and monitoring senior management),
communications with investors and the financial community and the integrity of the Company’s internal control and
management information systems. To facilitate meeting this responsibility, the Board of Directors seeks to foster a culture of
ethical conduct by striving to ensure the Company carries out its business in line with high business and moral standards and
applicable legal and financial requirements. In that regard, the Board has:
93
adopted a written Code of Business Conduct and Ethics (the “Code”) for its directors, officers, employees and
consultants and a written Code of Business Conduct and Ethics for Chief Executive Officer and Senior Financial
Officers.
established a whistleblower policy which details complaint procedures for financial concerns.
Copies of the Code are available without charge to any person upon request from the Company’s Chief Financial Officer at
http://www.eurasianminerals.com/s/governance.asp?ReportID=619295 or at Eurasian’s headquarters at Suite 501, 543
Granville Street, Vancouver, British Columbia, Canada V6C 1X8.
The Board must also comply with the conflict of interest provisions of the British Columbia Business Corporations Act, as
well as the relevant securities regulatory instruments, in order to ensure that directors exercise independent judgment in
considering transactions and agreements in respect of which a director or Executive Officer has a material interest.

CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
(Expressed in Canadian Dollars)
December 31, 2014
REPORT OF INDEPENDENT REGISTERED PUBLIC ACCOUNTING FIRM
To the Shareholders and Directors of
Eurasian Minerals Inc.
We have audited the accompanying consolidated financial statements of Eurasian Minerals Inc., which comprise the
consolidated statements of financial position as of December 31, 2014 and 2013, and the related consolidated statements of
loss, comprehensive loss, changes in shareholders’ equity, and cash flows for the years ended December 31, 2014, 2013, and
2012 and a summary of significant accounting policies and other explanatory information.
Management’s Responsibility for the Consolidated Financial Statements
Management is responsible for the preparation and fair presentation of these consolidated financial statements in accordance
with International Financial Reporting Standards as issued by the International Accounting Standards Board, and for such
internal control as management determines is necessary to enable the preparation of consolidated financial statements that are
free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error.
Auditors’ Responsibility
Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these consolidated financial statements based on our audits. We conducted our
audits in accordance with Canadian generally accepted auditing standards and the standards of the Public Company
Accounting Oversight Board (United States). Those standards require that we comply with ethical requirements and plan and
perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the consolidated financial statements are free from material
misstatement.
An audit involves performing procedures to obtain audit evidence about the amounts and disclosures in the consolidated
financial statements. The procedures selected depend on the auditors’ judgment, including the assessment of the risks of
material misstatement of the consolidated financial statements, whether due to fraud or error. In making those risk
assessments, the auditor considers internal control relevant to the entity’s preparation and fair presentation of the
consolidated financial statements in order to design audit procedures that are appropriate in the circumstances, but not for the
purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of the entity’s internal control. An audit also includes evaluating the
appropriateness of accounting policies used and the reasonableness of accounting estimates made by management, as well as
evaluating the overall presentation of the consolidated financial statements.
We believe that the audit evidence we have obtained in our audits is sufficient and appropriate to provide a basis for our audit
opinion.
Opinion
In our opinion, these consolidated financial statements present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of
Eurasian Minerals Inc. as at December 31, 2014 and 2013 and its financial performance and its cash flows for the years ended
December 31, 2014, 2013 and 2012 in accordance with International Financial Reporting Standards as issued by the
International Accounting Standards Board.

NOTES TO THE CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
(Expressed in Canadian Dollars)
1. NATURE OF OPERATIONS
Eurasian Minerals Inc. (the “Company” or “Eurasian”) and its subsidiaries are engaged in the acquisition, exploration and
evaluation of mineral assets in Turkey, Haiti, Europe, U.S.A. and the Asia Pacific region, and the investment in a royalty
income stream in Nevada, U.S.A. The Company’s common shares are listed on the TSX Venture Exchange (“TSX-V”) under
the symbol of “EMX” and on the NYSE MKT under the symbol of “EMXX”. The Company’s head office is located at 501 - 543
Granville Street, Vancouver, British Columbia, Canada V6C 1X8.
These consolidated financial statements have been prepared using International Financial Reporting Standards (“IFRS”)
applicable to a going concern, which assumes that the Company will be able to realize its assets, discharge its liabilities and
continue in operation for the following twelve months.
On August 17, 2012, the Company and its wholly-owned subsidiary, EMX (Utah) Corp. completed an Agreement and Plan of
Acquisition with Bullion Monarch Mining, Inc. (“Bullion”) whereby the Company acquired 100% of the issued and
outstanding shares of Bullion (Note 3).
Management believes it has sufficient funding for operations for the ensuing year, which results in the going concern
assumption being an appropriate underlying concept for the preparation of these consolidated financial statements.
Some of the Company’s activities for exploration and evaluation assets are located in emerging nations and, consequently,
may be subject to a higher level of risk compared to other developed countries. Operations, the status of mineral property
rights and the recoverability of investments in emerging nations can be affected by changing economic, legal, regulatory
and political situations.
At the date of these consolidated financial statements, the Company has not identified a known body of commercial grade
mineral on any of its exploration and evaluation assets. The ability of the Company to realize the costs it has incurred to
date on these exploration and evaluation assets is dependent upon the Company identifying a commercial mineral body, to
finance its development costs and to resolve any environmental, regulatory or other constraints which may hinder the
successful development of the exploration and evaluation assets.
These consolidated financial statements of the Company are presented in Canadian dollars unless otherwise noted, which is
the functional currency of the parent company and its subsidiaries except as to Bullion Monarch Mining, Inc. (Note 3), the
holder of a royalty income stream whose functional currency is the United States (“US”) dollar.
2. STATEMENT OF COMPLIANCE AND SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
Statement of Compliance
These consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with IFRS as issued by the International
Accounting Standards Board (“IASB”) and interpretations of the International Financial Reporting Interpretations
Committee (“IFRIC”).
These consolidated financial statements have been prepared on a historical cost basis, except for financial instruments
classified as fair value through profit or loss or available for sale, which are stated at their fair value. In addition, these
consolidated financial statements have been prepared using the accrual basis of accounting except for cash flow
information.

2. STATEMENT OF COMPLIANCE AND SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (Continued)
Summary of Significant Accounting Policies
Basis of Consolidation
The consolidated financial statements comprise the accounts of Eurasian, the parent company, and its controlled
subsidiaries, after the elimination of all significant intercompany balances and transactions.
Subsidiaries
Subsidiaries are all entities over which the Company has exposure to variable returns from its involvement and has the
ability to use power over the investee to affect its returns. The existence and effect of potential voting rights that are
currently exercisable or convertible are considered when assessing whether the Company controls another entity.
Subsidiaries are fully consolidated from the date on which control is transferred to the Company until the date on which
control ceases.
The accounts of subsidiaries are prepared for the same reporting period as the parent company, using consistent
accounting policies. Inter-company transactions, balances and unrealized gains or losses on transactions are eliminated. The
Company’s principal operating subsidiaries are as follows:
Business Combinations
The acquisition method of accounting is used to account for business combinations by the Company. The consideration
transferred for the acquisition of a business is the fair values of the assets transferred, the liabilities incurred and the equity
interests issued by the Company. The consideration transferred includes the fair value of any asset or liability resulting from
a contingent consideration arrangement. Acquisition-related costs are expensed as incurred. Identifiable assets acquired
and liabilities and contingent liabilities assumed in a business combination are measured initially at their fair values at the
acquisition date. On an acquisition-by-acquisition basis, the Company recognizes any non-controlling interest in the
acquiree either at fair value or at the non-controlling interest’s proportionate share of the acquiree’s net assets.
Subsequently, the carrying amount of non-controlling interest is the amount of the interest at initial recognition plus the
non-controlling interest’s share of the subsequent changes in equity. Total comprehensive income is attributed to non-
controlling interest even if this results in the non-controlling interest having a deficit balance.
The excess of the consideration transferred, the amount of any non-controlling interest in the acquiree and the acquisition-
date fair value of any previous equity interest in the acquiree over the fair value of the identifiable net assets acquired is
recorded as goodwill. If this is less than the fair value of the net assets of the subsidiary acquired in the case of a bargain
purchase, the difference is recognized directly in the statement of loss.

Summary of Significant Accounting Policies (Continued)
Business Combinations (Continued)
The Company has made an earlier election in terms of IFRS 1 to apply the requirements of IFRS 3 (Revised) – Business
Combinations to all business combinations with effective dates on or after April 1, 2010. The classification and accounting
treatment of business combinations with effective dates prior to April 1, 2010 have not been considered.
Functional and Reporting Currency
The functional currency is the currency of the primary economic environment in which the entity operates. The functional
currency for the Company and its subsidiaries is the Canadian dollar except the functional currency of the operations of
Bullion Monarch which is the US dollar. The functional currency determinations were conducted through an analysis of the
consideration factors identified in IAS 21, The Effects of Changes in Foreign Exchange Rates.
Translation of transactions and balances
Foreign currency transactions are translated into the functional currency using the exchange rates prevailing at the dates of
the transactions or valuation where items are re-measured. Monetary assets and liabilities denominated in foreign
currencies are re-measured at the rate of exchange at each financial position date. Foreign exchange gains and losses
resulting from the settlement of such transactions and from the translation at period end exchange rates of monetary
assets and liabilities denominated in foreign currencies are recognized in profit or loss.
On translation of the entities whose functional currency is other than the Canadian dollar, revenues and expenses are
translated at the exchange rates approximating those in effect on the date of the transactions. Assets and liabilities are
translated at the rate of exchange at the reporting date. Exchange gains and losses, including results of re-translation, are
recorded in the foreign currency translation reserve.
Financial Instruments
All financial instruments are classified into one of the following four categories:
(a) Financial assets and financial liabilities at fair value through profit or loss (“FVTPL”)
Financial assets and financial liabilities classified as FVTPL are acquired or incurred principally for the purpose of
selling or repurchasing them in the near term. They are recognized at fair value based on market prices, with
any resulting gains and losses reflected in profit or loss for the period in which they arise.
(b) Held-to-maturity financial assets
Held-to-maturity financial assets are non-derivative financial assets with fixed or determinable payments and
fixed maturity that an entity has the positive intention and ability to hold to maturity. They are measured at
amortized cost using the effective interest rate method less any impairment loss. A gain or loss is recognized in
profit or loss when the financial asset is derecognized or impaired, and through the amortization process.

Financial Instruments (Continued)
(c) Available for sale financial assets
Available for sale (“AFS”) financial assets are non-derivative financial assets that are designated as available for
sale, or that are not classified as loans and receivables, held-to-maturity investments, or FVTPL. They are
measured at fair value. Fair value is determined based on market prices. Equity instruments that do not have a
quoted market price in an active market are measured at cost. Gains and losses are recognized directly in other
comprehensive income (loss) until the financial asset is derecognized, at which time the cumulative gain or loss
previously recognized in accumulated other comprehensive income (loss) is recognized in profit or loss for the
period.
(d) Loans and receivables and other financial liabilities
Loans and receivables and other financial liabilities are measured at amortized cost, using the effective interest
rate method less any impairment loss.
The Company’s financial instruments consist of cash and cash equivalents, investments, receivables, restricted cash,
reclamation bonds, accounts payable and accrued liabilities, and advances from joint venture partners. Unless otherwise
noted the fair value of these financial instruments approximates their carrying values.
Cash and cash equivalents are classified as financial assets as loans and receivables and are accounted for at fair value.
Cash equivalents are held for the purpose of meeting short-term cash commitments rather than for investment or other
purposes.
Warrants held through investments are classified as derivative financial assets at FVTPL and are accounted for at fair value.
For warrants that are not traded on an exchange, no market value is readily available. When there are sufficient and
reliable observable market inputs, a valuation technique is used; if no such market inputs are available, the warrants are
valued at intrinsic value, which is equal to the higher of the market value of the underlying security less the exercise price of
the warrant, or zero.
Marketable securities are classified FVTPL and are measured at fair market value. Marketable securities transferred to the
Company as part of an acquisition are classified as AFS and are carried at fair market value. Changes in fair value of FVTPL
assets are reflected in profit or loss in the period in which they occur. Changes in fair value of AFS assets are reflected in
accumulated other comprehensive income on the statement of financial position until sold or if there is an other than
temporary impairment in value.
Reclamation bonds are classified as financial assets held-to-maturity.
Restricted cash is classified as financial assets at FVTPL.
The Company classifies its receivables as loans and receivables and its accounts payable and accrued liabilities and advances
from joint venture partners as other financial liabilities.

2. STATEMENT OF COMPLIANCE AND SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (Continued)
Summary of Significant Accounting Policies (Continued)
Impairment of Financial Assets
Financial assets are assessed for indicators of impairment at the end of each reporting period. Financial assets are impaired
when there is objective evidence that, as a result of one or more events that occurred after the initial recognition of the
financial assets, the estimated future cash flows of the financial assets have been impacted.
For all financial assets, objective evidence of impairment could include:
Significant financial difficulty of the issuer or counterparty;
Default or delinquency in interest or principal payments; or,
It becoming probable that the borrower will enter bankruptcy or financial re-organization.
For certain categories of financial assets, that are assessed not to be impaired individually, are subsequently assessed for
impairment on a collective basis. The carrying amount of financial assets is reduced by the impairment loss directly for all
financial assets with the exception of receivables, where the carrying amount is reduced through the use of an allowance
account. When a receivable is considered uncollectible, it is written off against the allowance account. Subsequent
recoveries of amounts previously written off are credited against the allowance account. Changes in the carrying amount of
the allowance account are recognized in profit or loss.
With the exception of FVTPL marketable securities, if in a subsequent period, the amount of the impairment loss decreases
and the decrease can be related objectively to an event occurring after the impairment was recognized, the previously
recognized impairment loss is reversed through profit or loss to the extent that the carrying amount of the investment at
the date the impairment is reversed does not exceed what the amortized cost would have been had the impairment not
been recognized. In respect of AFS marketable securities, impairment losses previously recognized through profit or loss are
not reversed through profit or loss. Any increase in fair value subsequent to an impairment loss is recognized directly in
equity.
Investments in Associated Companies
The Company accounts for its long-term investments in affiliated companies over which it has significant influence on the
equity basis of accounting, whereby the investment is initially recorded at cost, adjusted to recognize the Company’s share
of earnings or losses and reduced by dividends received.
The Company assesses its equity investments for impairment if there is objective evidence of impairment as a result of one
or more events that occurred after the initial recognition of the equity investment and that the event or events has an
impact on the estimated future cash flow of the investment that can be reliably estimated. Objective evidence of
impairment of equity investments includes:
Significant financial difficulty of the associated companies;
Becoming probable that the associated companies will enter bankruptcy or other financial reorganization; or,
National or local economic conditions that correlate with defaults of the associated companies.
Exploration and evaluation assets and exploration expenditures
Acquisition costs for exploration and evaluation assets, net of recoveries, are capitalized on a property-by-property basis.
Acquisition costs include cash consideration and the value of common shares, based on recent issue prices, issued for
exploration and evaluation assets pursuant to the terms of the agreement. Exploration expenditures, net of recoveries, are
charged to operations as incurred. After a property is determined by management to be commercially feasible, subsequent
development expenditures on the property will be capitalized.

property is abandoned, or when the capitalized costs are no longer considered recoverable, the related property costs are
written down to management’s estimate of their net recoverable amount. The costs related to a property from which
there is production, together with the costs of production equipment, will be depleted and amortized using the unit-of-
production method.
An exploration and evaluation asset acquired under an option agreement, where payments are made at the sole discretion
of the Company, is capitalized at the time of payment. Option payments received are treated as a reduction of the carrying
value of the related acquisition cost for the mineral property until the payments are in excess of acquisition costs, at which
time they are then credited to profit or loss. Option payments are at the discretion of the optionee and, accordingly, are
accounted for when receipt is reasonably assured.
Revenue recognition
The Company recognizes revenue in accordance with IAS 18 Revenue. Royalty revenue is recognized when persuasive
evidence of an arrangement exists, title and risk passes to the buyer, the amount of revenue can be measured reliably, it is
probable that the economic benefits associated with the sale will flow to the entity and the costs incurred in respect of the
transaction can be measured reliably. Royalty revenue may be subject to adjustment upon final settlement of estimated
metal prices, weights, and assays. Adjustments to revenue from metal prices are recorded monthly and other adjustments
are recorded on final settlement and are offset against revenue when incurred.
Royalty interests
Royalty interests in mineral properties include acquired royalty interests in production stage and exploration stage
properties. In accordance with IAS 38 Intangible Assets, the cost of acquired royalty interests in mineral properties is
capitalized as intangible assets.
Acquisition costs of production stage royalty interests are depleted using the units of production method over the life of the
related mineral property, which is calculated using estimated reserves. Acquisition costs of royalty interests on exploration
stage mineral properties, where there are no proven and probable reserves, are not amortized. At such time as the
associated exploration stage mineral interests are converted to proven and probable reserves, the cost basis is amortized
over the remaining life of the mineral property, using proven and probable reserves. The carrying values of exploration
stage mineral interests are evaluated for impairment at such time as information becomes available indicating that the
production will not occur in the future.
Goodwill
Goodwill represents the excess of the price paid for the acquisition of a consolidated entity over the fair value of the net
identifiable tangible and intangible assets and liabilities acquired in a business combination. Goodwill is allocated to the
cash generating unit to which it relates.
Goodwill is evaluated for impairment annually or more often if events or circumstances indicate there may be impairment.
Impairment is determined by assessing if the carrying value of a cash generating unit, including the allocated goodwill,
exceeds its recoverable amount.

Summary of Significant Accounting Policies (Continued)
Property and equipment
Property and equipment is recorded at cost. Equipment is depreciated over its estimated useful life using the declining
balance method at a rate of 20% per annum. Depreciation on equipment used directly on exploration projects is included
in exploration expenditures for that mineral property.
Decommissioning liabilities
Decommissioning liabilities are recognized for the expected obligations related to the retirement of long-lived tangible
assets that arise from the acquisition, construction, development or normal operation of such assets. A decommissioning
liability is recognized in the period in which it is incurred and when a reasonable estimate of the fair value of the liability can
be made with a corresponding decommissioning cost recognized by increasing the carrying amount of the related long-lived
asset. The decommissioning cost is subsequently allocated in a rational and systematic method over the underlying asset’s
useful life. The initial fair value of the liability is accreted, by charges to profit or loss, to its estimated future value. The
Company has no known decommissioning liabilities as of December 31, 2014 and 2013.
Environmental disturbance restoration
During the operating life of an asset, events such as infractions of environmental laws or regulations may occur. These
events are not related to the normal operation of the asset and are referred to as environmental disturbance restoration
provisions. The costs associated with these provisions are accrued and charged to profit or loss in the period in which the
event giving rise to the liability occurs. Any subsequent adjustments to these provisions due to changes in estimates are
also charged to profit or loss in the period of adjustment. These costs are not capitalized as part of the long-lived assets’
carrying value.
Impairment of assets
Events or changes in circumstances can give rise to significant impairment charges or reversals of impairment in a particular
year. The Company assesses its cash generating units annually to determine whether any indication of impairment exists.
Where an indicator of impairment exists, an estimate of the recoverable amount is made, which is the higher of the fair
value less costs to sell and value in use. The determination of the recoverable amount for value in use requires the use of
estimates and assumptions such as long-term commodity prices, discount rates, future capital requirements, exploration
potential and future operating performance. Fair value is determined as the amount that would be obtained from the sale
of the asset in an arm’s length transaction between knowledgeable and willing parties.
Cash and cash equivalents
Cash and cash equivalents include cash on hand, bank deposits and short-term, highly liquid investments that are readily
convertible to known amounts of cash.
Share-based payments
Share-based payments include option and stock grants granted to directors, employees and non-employees. The Company
accounts for share-based compensation using a fair value based method with respect to all share-based payments
measured and recognized, to directors, employees and non-employees. For directors and employees, the fair value of the
options and stock grants is measured at the date of grant. For non-employees, the fair value of the options and stock
grants is measured on the earlier of the date at which the counterparty performance is complete, or the date the
performance commitment is reached, or the date at which the equity instruments are granted if they are fully vested and
non-forfeitable. For directors, employees and non-employees, the fair value of the options and stock grants is accrued and
charged to operations, with the offsetting credit to share based payment reserve for options, and commitment to issue

shares for stock grants over the vesting period. If and when the stock options are exercised, the applicable amounts are
transferred from share-based payment reserve to share capital. When the stock grants are issued, the applicable fair value
is transferred from commitment to issue shares to share capital. Option based compensation awards are calculated using
the Black-Scholes option pricing model while stock grants are valued at the fair value on the date of grant.
Income taxes
Income tax expense consists of current and deferred tax. Income tax expense is recognized in profit or loss except to the
extent that it relates to items recognized directly in equity. Current tax is the expected tax payable on the taxable income
for the year, using tax rates enacted or substantively enacted at the reporting date, and any adjustment to tax payable in
respect of previous years. Deferred tax is calculated providing for temporary differences between the carrying amounts of
assets and liabilities for financial reporting purposes and the amounts used for taxation purposes.
Deferred tax is not recognized on the initial recognition of assets or liabilities in a transaction that is not a business
combination and that affects neither accounting nor taxable income nor loss. In addition, deferred tax is not recognized for
taxable temporary differences arising on the initial recognition of goodwill. Deferred tax is measured at the tax rates that
are expected to be applied to temporary differences when they reverse, based on the laws that have been enacted or
substantively enacted at the reporting date.
Deferred tax assets and liabilities are offset if there is a legally enforceable right to offset, and they relate to income taxes
levied by the same tax authority on the same taxable entity, or on different tax entities, but they intend to settle current tax
liabilities and assets on a net basis or their tax assets and liabilities will be realized simultaneously.
A deferred tax asset is recognized to the extent that it is probable that future taxable income will be available against which
the temporary difference can be utilized. Deferred tax assets are reviewed at each reporting date and are reduced to the
extent that it is no longer probable that the related tax benefit will be realized.
Income (loss) per share
Basic income or loss per share is calculated by dividing the net income or loss for the year by the weighted average number
of shares outstanding during the year. Diluted income or loss per share is calculated whereby the weighted average
number of shares outstanding used in the calculation of diluted income or loss per share assumes that the deemed
proceeds received from the exercise of stock options, share purchase warrants and their equivalents would be used to
repurchase common shares of the Company at the average market price during the year, if they are determined to have a
dilutive effect.
Existing stock options and share purchase warrants have not been included in the current year computation of diluted loss
per share as to do so would be anti-dilutive. For the years presented the basic and diluted losses per share are the same.
Valuation of equity units issued in private placements
The Company has adopted a residual value method with respect to the measurement of shares and warrants issued as
private placement units. The residual value method first allocates value to the more easily measurable component based
on fair value and then the residual value, if any, to the less easily measurable component.
The fair value of the common shares issued in the private placements was determined to be the more easily measurable
component and were valued at their fair value, as determined by the closing quoted bid price on the day prior to the

Segment Reporting
Operating segments are reported in a manner consistent with the internal reporting provided to the chief operating
decision-maker. The chief operating decision-maker, who is responsible for allocating resources and assessing performance
of the operating segment, has been identified as the Chief Executive Officer.
New and amended IFRS pronouncements effective January 1, 2014
The Company has adopted the following new and revised standards, along with any consequential amendments, effective
January 1, 2014. These changes were made in accordance with the applicable transitional provisions.
IAS 32 Financial Instruments: Presentation (“Amended IAS 32”) was amended by the IASB in December 2011. The
amendment clarifies that an entity has a legally enforceable right to offset financial assets and financial liabilities if that
right is not contingent on a future event and it is enforceable both in the normal course of business and in the event of
default, insolvency or bankruptcy of the entity and all counterparties. The adoption of Amended IAS 32 did not have a
significant impact on the Company’s consolidated financial statements.
IAS 36 Impairment of Assets (“Amended IAS 36”) was amended by the IASB in May 2013. The amendments require the
disclosure of the recoverable amount of impaired assets when an impairment loss has been recognized or reversed during
the period and additional disclosures about the measurement of the recoverable amount of impaired assets when the
recoverable amount is based on fair value less costs of disposal, including the discount rate when a present value technique
is used to measure the recoverable amount. The adoption of Amended IAS 36 did not have a significant impact on the
Company’s consolidated financial statements.
IFRIC 21 Levies (“IFRIC 21”), an interpretation of IAS 37 Provisions, Contingent Liabilities and Contingent Assets (“IAS 37”),
on the accounting for levies imposed by governments was issued by the IASB in May 2013. IAS 37 sets out criteria for the
recognition of a liability, one of which is the requirement for the entity to have a present obligation as a result of a past
event (“obligating event”). IFRIC 21 clarifies that the obligating event that gives rise to a liability to pay a levy is the activity
described in the relevant legislation that triggers the payment of the levy. IFRIC 21 is effective prospectively for annual
periods commencing on or after January 1, 2014. The adoption of IFRIC 21 did not result in an adjustment to the Company’s
consolidated financial statements.
Accounting pronouncements not yet effective
In May 2014, the IASB issued IFRS 15 Revenue from Contracts with Customers ("IFRS 15"), which supersedes IAS 11
Construction Contracts, IAS 18 Revenue, IFRIC 13 Customer Loyalty Programmes, IFRIC 15 Agreements for the Construction
of Real Estate, IFRIC 18 Transfers of Assets from Customers, and SIC 31 Revenue - Barter Transactions involving Advertising
Services. IFRS 15 establishes a single five-step model framework for determining the nature, amount, timing and
uncertainty of revenue and cash flows arising from a contract with a customer. The standard is effective for annual periods
beginning on or after January 1, 2017, with early adoption permitted. The Company is currently evaluating the impact the
final standard is expected to have on its consolidated financial statements.
The IASB intends to replace IAS 39 Financial Instruments: Recognition and Measurement in its entirety with IFRS 9 Financial
Instruments (“IFRS 9”) which is intended to reduce the complexity in the classification and measurement of financial

instruments. The IASB has determined that the revised effective date for IFRS 9 will be January 1, 2018. The Company is
currently evaluating the impact the final standard is expected to have on its consolidated financial statements.
Critical Accounting Judgments and Significant Estimates and Uncertainties
The preparation of the consolidated financial statements requires management to make judgments and estimates and form
assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements, and the
reported revenue and expenses during the periods presented therein. On an ongoing basis, management evaluates its
judgments and estimates in relation to assets, liabilities, royalty revenues and expenses. Management bases its judgments
and estimates on historical experience and on other various factors it believes to be reasonable under the circumstances.
Actual results may differ from these estimates under different assumptions and conditions.
The Company has identified the following critical accounting policies in which significant judgments, estimates and
assumptions are made and where actual results may differ from these estimates under different assumptions and
conditions and may materially affect financial results or the financial position reported in future periods. Further details of
the nature of these assumptions and conditions may be found in the relevant notes to the consolidated financial
statements.
a) Royalty interest and related depletion
In accordance with the Company’s accounting policy, royalty interests are evaluated on a periodic basis to determine
whether there are any indications of impairment. If any such indication exists, a formal estimate of recoverable amount is
performed and an impairment loss recognized to the extent that carrying amount exceeds recoverable amount. The
recoverable amount of a royalty asset is measured at the higher of fair value less costs to sell and value in use. The
determination of fair value and value in use requires management to make estimates and assumptions about expected
production and sales volumes, the proportion of areas subject to royalty rights, commodity prices (considering current and
historical prices, price trends and related factors), and reserves. These estimates and assumptions are subject to risk and
uncertainty; hence there is a possibility that changes in circumstances will alter these projections, which may impact the
recoverable amount of the assets. In such circumstances, some or all of the carrying value of the assets may be further
impaired or the impairment charge reduced with the impact recorded in profit or loss.
b) Goodwill
Goodwill is evaluated for impairment annually or more often if events or circumstances indicate there may be impairment.
Impairment is determined by assessing if the carrying value of a cash generating unit, including the allocated goodwill,
exceeds its recoverable amount. The assessment of the recoverable amount used in the goodwill impairment analysis is
subject to similar judgments and estimates as described above for property and equipment and royalty interests.
c) Exploration and Evaluation Assets
Recorded costs of exploration and evaluation assets are not intended to reflect present or future values of exploration and
evaluation assets. The recorded costs are subject to measurement uncertainty and it is reasonably possible, based on
existing knowledge, that a change in future conditions could require a material change in the recognized amount.
d) Taxation
The Company’s accounting policy for taxation requires management’s judgment as to the types of arrangements considered
to be a tax on income in contrast to an operating cost. Judgment is also required in assessing whether deferred tax assets
and certain deferred tax liabilities are recognized on the statement of financial position.

2. STATEMENT OF COMPLIANCE AND SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (Continued)
Critical Accounting Judgments and Significant Estimates and Uncertainties (Continued)
d) Taxation (Continued)
Deferred tax assets, including those arising from unused tax losses, capital losses and temporary differences, are recognized
only where it is considered probable that they will be recovered, which is dependent on the generation of sufficient future
taxable profits. Deferred tax liabilities arising from temporary differences caused principally by the expected royalty
revenues generated by the royalty property are recognized unless expected offsetting tax losses are sufficient to offset the
taxable income and therefore, taxable income is not expected to occur in the foreseeable future. Assumptions about the
generation of future taxable profits depend on management’s estimates of future cash flows. These depend on estimates of
future production and sales volumes, commodity prices, and reserves. Judgments are also required about the application of
income tax legislation in foreign jurisdictions. These judgments and assumptions are subject to risk and uncertainty, hence
there is a possibility that changes in circumstances will alter expectations, which may impact the amount of deferred tax
assets and deferred tax liabilities recognized on the statement of financial position and the amount of other tax losses and
temporary differences not yet recognized. In such circumstances, some or the entire carrying amount of recognized
deferred tax assets and liabilities may require adjustment, resulting in a corresponding credit or charge to profit or loss.
3. ACQUISITION OF BULLION MONARCH MINING, INC.
On February 7, 2012, the Company and its wholly-owned subsidiary, EMX (Utah) Corp. signed an Agreement and Plan of
Merger (the “Acquisition”) with Bullion Monarch Mining, Inc. (“Bullion”) whereby the Company agreed to acquire 100% of
the issued and outstanding shares of Bullion in consideration for 0.45 of each of the Company’s common shares and
US$0.11 in cash for each Bullion common share issued and outstanding. In addition, outstanding Bullion warrants have
been replaced by Eurasian warrants exercisable upon the same terms and conditions as under the applicable agreement,
except that each replacement warrant shall be exercisable for 0.45 of each of Eurasian’s common shares and US$0.11 in
cash in lieu of one Bullion common share.
On August 17, 2012, the acquisition of Bullion was completed following approval by Bullion shareholders at a special
meeting held on the same day.
The transaction has been accounted for as a business combination in accordance with IFRS 3, Business Combinations. As
per IFRS 3, the Company has recognized, separately from goodwill, identifiable assets acquired, and liabilities assumed in
Bullion at their fair values on the acquisition date. Accordingly, the Company has determined certain fair value adjustments
for the assets and liabilities of Bullion as of August 17, 2012, the closing date of the Acquisition. Furthermore, to reflect the
fair value increment of $39,536,000 (US$40,000,000) to the royalty property held by Bullion which generates royalty
income, the Company engaged an independent valuator to estimate the fair value of the royalty generating property. The
independent valuator applied the discounted cash flow model and estimated the fair value of the royalty income stream at
$39,536,000. Consequently, the assets and liabilities in the Bullion purchase price allocation are based on their estimated
fair value as shown below.
Goodwill represents the excess of the purchase price over the estimated fair value of assets acquired and liabilities assumed
of Bullion. The Goodwill is not deductible for tax purposes. The deferred tax liabilities are recognized primarily due to
temporary differences between the accounting value and tax basis of the royalty property assets that may result in
potential taxable amounts in future years. Subsequent to the closing of the Acquisition, the deferred income tax liabilities
will be adjusted in the period of enactment for the effect of an enacted change in tax laws or rates. The effect, which could
be significant, will be included in profit or loss from operations.
The aggregate amount of the total acquisition consideration is $36,441,148, determined by taking into account the issuance
of the Company’s 17,712,289 common shares valued at $32,059,062, the obligation for 1,125,000 warrants valued at
$102,653 to replace Bullion’s outstanding warrants and the payment of $4,279,433.

3. ACQUISITION OF BULLION MONARCH MINING, INC. (Continued)
The following summarizes the consideration transferred and the recognized amounts of assets acquired and liabilities
assumed at the acquisition date.
The value of the Company’s common shares was calculated based on the issuance of the Company’s 17,712,189 common
shares at a price per share of $1.81 which was the TSX Venture Exchange closing price of the Company’s common share on
August 17, 2012, the closing date of the Acquisition.
The cash payment of $4,279,433 is based on cash consideration per share of US$0.11 for each of the 39,360,518 Bullion
common shares outstanding immediately prior to the completion of the Acquisition.
The assumption and replacement of Bullion warrants is valued using the Black-Scholes option pricing model. The
assumptions used in Black-Scholes option pricing model are as follows: share price of $1.81, adjusted exercise price of $2.39
less the warrant cash consideration of US$0.11, dividend yield of 0%, expected life of 0.62 years, volatility of 44.66% and
risk-free interest rate of 1.21%. Volatility of 44.66% represents the historical volatility that the Company has used to value
similar equity instruments. The fair value of the 1,125,000 replacement warrants is based on Bullion’s outstanding
2,500,000 warrants adjusted by a factor of 0.45 of each of the Company’s common share per Bullion warrant.
4. CASH AND CASH EQUIVALENTS
Cash consists of deposits at banks earning interest at floating rates based on daily bank deposit rates and cash on hand.
Cash equivalents consist of short-term deposits with maturities less than 90 days.

($600,000 incurred) over a three year period.
In October 2013 the agreement was terminated and the Company was granted a NSR of 0.5% in and over the tenement
held by Rockwell Resources Pty Ltd.
Koonenberry - Bates
The Company entered into an agreement on May 14, 2010 to earn a 100% interest in two New South Wales exploration

Asia Pacific (Australia) exploration licenses (Continued)
In February 2014, the Company signed an exploration and option agreement with North Queensland Mining Pty Ltd.
(“NQM”), a privately-held Australian company, giving NQM the right to acquire the Company’s Koonenberry exploration
licenses in New South Wales, Australia. NQM will bear responsibility of satisfying all existing work commitments and
honoring all underlying property agreements during the term of the Agreement. NQM has the option to earn a 100%
interest in the EMX subsidiary that holds the licenses, with EMX retaining a 3% production royalty.
On November 15, 2012, the Company signed an option agreement to sell all of the issued share capital of EMX New Zealand
(BVI) Inc. (“EMX-NZ”), a wholly owned subsidiary of the Company to Glass Earth Gold Limited (“GEG”) a TSX-V and New
Zealand Alternative Exchange listed company. EMX-NZ is the owner of all of the issued share capital of Hauraki Gold
Limited (“HGL”), a company incorporated in New Zealand and the registered holder of certain exploration permits in New
Zealand. The purchase and sale agreement included an execution payment of US$85,567 (received) and a series of
anniversary and milestone payments equal to a certain amount of troy ounces of gold. On January 8, 2014, the Company
notified GEG their intentions to terminate the agreement due to GEG’s default of certain terms of the agreement.
On November 13, 2014, the Company signed an option agreement with Land & Mineral Limited (“L&M”), a privately-held
Australian company, giving L&M the right to acquire HGL. The purchase and sale agreement included an execution
payment of $100,000 ($50,000 received) and a series of anniversary and milestone payments equal to a certain amount of
troy ounces of gold.
Haiti exploration permits
Eurasian and joint venture partner Newmont Ventures Limited (“Newmont”), a wholly owned subsidiary of Newmont
Mining Corporation (collectively, the “JV”), have the right to establish specific exploration areas along the trend of Haiti’s
Massif du Nord mineral belt. Newmont is funding and managing six joint venture Designated Projects (“DP’s”) across the
exploration areas. The JV is waiting for approval of Research Permits by the Government of Haiti. The Company’s work on
the 100% controlled Grand Bois gold-copper project is outside of the JV with Newmont.
In March 2013, the Haiti government placed the Mining Convention process on hold while its parliament began working on
a new mining law. The Government deferred further consideration of the JV’s request for the Research Permits that would
cover the six DP’s, and request for an extension of the Grand Bois Research Permit, while revisions to the mining law are
pending. As a result, Newmont placed the JV’s on care and maintenance status. The Company considered the deferral of
its request for an extension of the Grand Bois Research Permit to be a force majeure event and also placed its Grand Bois
project on care and maintenance status.
Gezart, Kyrgyz Republic
On July 2012, the Company sold its wholly owned subsidiary, Altyn Minerals (BVI) Ltd, and its related Kyrgyz Republic
subsidiaries, Altyn Minerals, LLC, and Montex for net proceeds of US$30,000 (received) and a 2.5% NSR. All related
balances have been removed from the Company’s consolidated financial statements and a loss of $38,299 has been
recorded on the sale.

The Company has acquired numerous exploration licenses in Turkey for which there are no specific spending commitments.
Sisorta Joint Venture
On October 26, 2007, Eurasian signed an agreement to joint venture the Sisorta gold project with Chesser Resources Ltd,
(“Chesser”). Chesser earned a 51% interest in the JV by making payments of 3,000,000 common shares, US$300,000 cash
and funding US$4,000,000 in exploration expenditures.
On April 2, 2012, the Company and Chesser executed an agreement to sell the Sisorta property to a privately owned Turkish
company, Colakoglu Ticari Yatirim A.S. (“Colakoglu”). The agreement requires Colakoglu to make an up-front payment of
100 troy ounces of gold bullion or its cash equivalent ($80,216 received), and to undertake a US$500,000 work commitment
over the first year. After the first year, Colakoglu can exercise an option to purchase the property for an additional 6,900
troy ounces of gold, or its cash equivalent, with the payments binding on exercise of the option, but staged over a period of
four years after option exercise. A 2.5% NSR from any production on the property will also be received. As the Company
has a 49% interest in Sisorta, its share of the above will comprise 3,381 troy ounces of gold bullion and a 1.225% NSR.
Colakoglu terminated the option effective March 21, 2013, leaving Chesser and the Company with a 51% and 49% interest
in the Sisorta project, respectively. In March 2015, Chesser and the Company signed definitive agreements pursuant to
which the Company would acquire all of Chesser’s interest in the Sisorta project.
Akarca Joint Venture
On December 23, 2008, the Company signed an option and joint venture agreement on the Akarca, Samli, and Elmali
properties in Turkey (the "Properties"), with a subsidiary of Centerra Gold Inc. ("Centerra"), a Canadian gold mining and

(incurred) and making a payment of US$1,000,000 within 30 days of earn-in (not paid).
On October 29, 2012, the parties signed a Termination of Shareholders Agreement, and in return for relieving Centerra of
certain exploration and payment obligations Eurasian regained 100% control of Akarca.
On June 30, 2013, the Company entered into an option agreement to sell its 100% interest in AES Madencilik A.S. ("AES
Turkey"), a Turkish corporation that controls the Akarca property, for a combination of cash payments, gold bullion, work
commitments, and a royalty interest to Çolakoglu Ticari Yatirim A.S. ("Çolakoglu"), a privately owned Turkish company.
The agreement requires Çolakoglu to make an up-front payment of US$250,000 (received). In order to exercise the option,
Colakoglu must drill at least 5,000 meters by the end of the first year (completed), pay US$500,000 within 18 months
(subsequently extended to 24 months upon payment of $100,000 of that amount) and, if the option is exercised, must pay
a cumulative US$4,250,000 over a period of three years from the date of the agreement, must drill a cumulative 20,000
meters over a period of four years from the date of the agreement, and must produce a NI 43-101 compliant feasibility

right to re-acquire the property if Dedeman decides to relinquish the license.
Dedeman also acquired the Sofular properties and the Company retains a 3% NSR on the properties and a reversionary
interest in the properties should Dedeman decide to relinquish one or more of them. Dedeman has the right to purchase
the 3% NSR on Sofular at any time for US$1,000,000. In February 2015, Dedeman determined it would relinquish the

11. ROYALTY INTEREST
Changes in royalty interest for the years ended December 31, 2014, 2013 and 2012:
Carlin Trend Royalty Claim Block
On August 17, 2012, the Company and its wholly-owned subsidiary, EMX (Utah) Corp. completed the acquisition of Bullion
(Note 3). As part of the acquisition, the Company acquired the Carlin Trend Royalty Claim Block in Nevada which includes
the following Royalty Properties:
Leeville Mine: Located in Eureka County, Nevada, the Company is receiving a continuing 1% gross smelter return royalty
(“GSRR”).
East Ore Body Mine: Located in Eureka County, Nevada, the property is currently being mined and the Company is receiving
a continuing 1% GSRR.
North Pipeline: Located in Lander County, Nevada. Should the property become producing, the Company will receive a
production royalty of US$0.50 per yard of ore processed or 4% of net profit, whichever is greater.
The Company capitalized $39,536,000 (US$40,000,000) for the Carlin Trend Royalty Claim Block which represents the fair
value on the acquisition date (Note 3).
During the year ended December 31, 2014, $801,836 (2013 - $1,280,997; 2012 - $537,035) in royalty income was included
in operations offset by a 5% direct gold tax and depletion.
Brestovac/Jasikovo East Royalty
In September 2013, the Company purchased a 0.5% NSR royalty from Euromax Resources Ltd. for $200,000 covering
Reservoir Mineral Inc.’s (a public company listed on the TSX-V) (“Reservoir”) share of minerals and metals mined from the
Brestovac and Jasikovo East properties in Serbia. These two properties are included in Reservoir’s Timok Project which is in
joint venture with Freeport-McMoran Exploration Corporation (“Freeport”). The 0.5% NSR royalty is proportionately
reduced to Reservoir’s interest in the properties as Freeport earns-in by making exploration expenditures under the
circumstances provided in the NSR agreement. Freeport has thus far earned a 55% interest in the Timok Project.

11. ROYALTY INTEREST (Continued)
Impairment of Non-Current Assets
The Company’s policy for accounting for impairment of non-current assets is to use the higher of the estimates of fair value
less cost of disposal of these assets or value in use. The Company uses valuation techniques that require significant
judgments and assumptions, including those with respect to future production levels, future metal prices, foreign exchange
rates, discount rates, and Net Asset Value (“NAV”) multiples.
Non-current assets are tested for impairment when events or changes in circumstances suggest that the carrying amount
may not be recoverable. As a result of the decline in the production of gold from the Carlin Trend Royalty Claim Block, the
Company revised its estimated annual gold production over the expected 11 year mine life and updated the NAV and cash
flow multiples based on observed market conditions. As a result of these changes, the Company recorded $7,371,765 (2013
- $4,765,511; 2012 - $Nil) in impairment charges for the year ended December 31, 2014 related to the Carlin Trend Royalty
Claim Block and related assets that make up the same cash-generating unit (“CGU”). In addition, due to the tax effects of
the above-mentioned impairment, the Company recorded a decrease in deferred tax liabilities of $2,493,010 (2013 -
$1,779,707; 2012 - $Nil) with a corresponding entry to deferred income tax recovery.
12. RECLAMATION BONDS
Reclamation bonds are held as security towards future exploration work and the related future potential cost of
reclamation of the Company’s land and unproven mineral interests. Once reclamation of the properties is complete, the
bonds will be returned to the Company. Management has determined that the Company has no decommissioning or
restoration provisions related to the properties for the periods presented.
13. GOODWILL
The Company’s goodwill represents the excess of the purchase price paid during fiscal 2012 for the acquisition of Bullion
Monarch Mining Inc. over the fair value of the net identifiable tangible and intangible assets and liabilities acquired.
Change in goodwill for the years ended December 31, 2014, 2013 and 2012:

13. GOODWILL (Continued)
The Company applied a one-step approach and determined the Carlin Trend Royalty Claim Block and the related assets
within the same CGU to be impaired (Note 11). The impairment loss is the amount by which the CGU’s carrying amount
exceeds its recoverable amount. The loss is first applied to reduce asset component and any excess to goodwill within CGU.
As result, the Company has written down the goodwill by $2,248,057 (2013 - $Nil; 2012 - $Nil).
14. ACCOUNTS PAYABLE AND ACCRUED LIABILITIES

19. SEGMENTED INFORMATION (Continued)
The Company’s royalty interest, goodwill, deferred income tax liability and royalty income and depletion form a cash
generating unit located in the U.S.A, except $200,000 in a royalty interest held in Serbia.
20. RISK AND CAPITAL MANAGEMENT: FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS
The Company considers items included in shareholders’ equity as capital. The Company’s objective when managing capital
is to safeguard the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern, so that it can continue to provide returns for
shareholders and benefits for other stakeholders.
The Company currently has continuing royalty revenues to fund a portion of ongoing costs. In order to fund future projects
and pay for administrative costs, the Company will spend its existing working capital and raise additional funds as needed.
As at December 31, 2014, the Company had working capital of $7,096,916 (2013 - $14,217,999). Management will need
additional sources of working capital to continue it’s currently planned programs beyond twelve months, by issuing new
shares or the sale of assets.
The Company manages the capital structure and makes adjustments in light of changes in economic conditions and the risk
characteristics of the underlying assets.
In order to maintain or adjust the capital structure, the Company may issue new shares through public and/or private
placements, sell assets, or return capital to shareholders. The Company is not subject to externally imposed capital
requirements.
Fair Value
The Company characterizes inputs used in determining fair value using a hierarchy that prioritizes inputs depending on the
degree to which they are observable. The three levels of the fair value hierarchy are as follows:
Level 1: inputs represent quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities. Active markets are those
in which transactions occur in sufficient frequency and volume to provide pricing information on an ongoing basis.
Level 2: inputs other than quoted prices that are observable, either directly or indirectly. Level 2 valuations are
based on inputs, including quoted forward prices for commodities, market interest rates, and volatility factors,
which can be observed or corroborated in the market place.
Level 3: inputs that are less observable, unavoidable or where the observable data does not support the majority
of the instruments’ fair value.
As at December 31, 2014, there were no changes in the levels in comparison to December 31, 2013. Financial instruments
measured at fair value on the statement of financial position are summarized in levels of the fair value hierarchy as follows:

20. RISK AND CAPITAL MANAGEMENT: FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS (Continued)
The carrying value of receivables, reclamation bonds, accounts payable and accrued liabilities, and advances from joint
venture partners approximate their fair value because of the short-term nature of these instruments.
The Company’s financial instruments are exposed to certain financial risks, including credit risk, interest rate risk, market
risk, liquidity risk and currency risk.
Credit Risk
The Company is exposed to credit risk by holding cash and cash equivalents and receivables. This risk is minimized by
holding a significant portion of the funds in Canadian banks. The Company’s exposure with respect to its receivables is
primarily related to royalty streams and recovery of exploration evaluation costs.
Interest Rate Risk
The Company is exposed to interest rate risk because of fluctuating interest rates. Management believes the interest rate
risk is low given the current low global interest rate environment.
Fluctuations in market rates is not expected to have a significant impact on the Company’s operations due to the short term
to maturity and no penalty cashable feature of its cash equivalents.
Market Risk
The Company is exposed to market risk because of the fluctuating values of its publicly traded marketable securities and
other company investments. The Company has no control over these fluctuations and does not hedge its investments.
Based on the December 31, 2014 portfolio values, a 10% increase or decrease in effective market values would increase or
decrease net shareholders’ equity by approximately $104,000.
Liquidity Risk
Liquidity risk is the risk that the Company is unable to meet its financial obligations as they come due. The Company
manages this risk by careful management of its working capital to ensure the Company’s expenditures will not exceed
available resources.
Commodity Risk
The Company’s royalty revenues are derived from a royalty interest and are based on the extraction and sale of precious
and base minerals and metals. Factors beyond the control of the Company may affect the marketability of metals
discovered. Metal prices have historically fluctuated widely. Consequently, the economic viability of the Company’s royalty
interests cannot be accurately predicted and may be adversely affected by fluctuations in mineral prices.

20. RISK AND CAPITAL MANAGEMENT: FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS (Continued)
Currency Risk
Foreign exchange risk arises when future commercial transactions and recognized assets and liabilities are denominated in
a currency that is not the entity’s functional currency. The Company operates in Canada, Haiti, Turkey, Georgia, Sweden,
Australia and the U.S.A. The Company funds cash calls to its subsidiary companies outside of Canada in U.S. dollars (“USD”)
and a portion of its expenditures are also incurred in local currencies.
The exposure of the Company’s cash and cash equivalents, receivables, and accounts payable and accrued liabilities to
foreign exchange risk as at December 31, 2014 is as follows:
The balances noted above reflect the USD balances held within the parent company and any wholly owned subsidiaries.
Balances denominated in another currency other than the functional currency held in foreign operations are considered
immaterial.
Based on the above net exposure as at December 31, 2014, and assuming that all other variables remain constant, a 1%
depreciation or appreciation of the Canadian dollar against the US dollar would result in an increase/decrease of
approximately $22,000 in the Company’s pre-tax profit or loss.

Management’s Responsibility for the Consolidated Financial Statements
Management is responsible for the preparation and fair presentation of these consolidated financial statements in accordance
with International Financial Reporting Standards as issued by the International Accounting Standards Board, and for such
internal control as management determines is necessary to enable the preparation of consolidated financial statements that are
free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error.
Auditors’ Responsibility
Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these consolidated financial statements based on our audits. We conducted our
audits in accordance with Canadian generally accepted auditing standards and the standards of the Public Company
Accounting Oversight Board (United States). Those standards require that we comply with ethical requirements and plan and
perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the consolidated financial statements are free from material
misstatement.
An audit involves performing procedures to obtain audit evidence about the amounts and disclosures in the consolidated
financial statements. The procedures selected depend on the auditors’ judgment, including the assessment of the risks of
material misstatement of the consolidated financial statements, whether due to fraud or error. In making those risk
assessments, the auditor considers internal control relevant to the entity’s preparation and fair presentation of the
consolidated financial statements in order to design audit procedures that are appropriate in the circumstances, but not for the
purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of the entity’s internal control. An audit also includes evaluating the
appropriateness of accounting policies used and the reasonableness of accounting estimates made by management, as well as
evaluating the overall presentation of the consolidated financial statements.
We believe that the audit evidence we have obtained in our audits is sufficient and appropriate to provide a basis for our audit
opinion.
Opinion
In our opinion, these consolidated financial statements present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of
Eurasian Minerals Inc. as at December 31, 2014 and 2013 and its financial performance and its cash flows for the years ended

1. NATURE OF OPERATIONS
Eurasian Minerals Inc. (the “Company” or “Eurasian”) and its subsidiaries are engaged in the acquisition, exploration and
evaluation of mineral assets in Turkey, Haiti, Europe, U.S.A. and the Asia Pacific region, and the investment in a royalty
income stream in Nevada, U.S.A. The Company’s common shares are listed on the TSX Venture Exchange (“TSX-V”) under
the symbol of “EMX” and on the NYSE MKT under the symbol of “EMXX”. The Company’s head office is located at 501 - 543
Granville Street, Vancouver, British Columbia, Canada V6C 1X8.
These consolidated financial statements have been prepared using International Financial Reporting Standards (“IFRS”)
applicable to a going concern, which assumes that the Company will be able to realize its assets, discharge its liabilities and
continue in operation for the following twelve months.
On August 17, 2012, the Company and its wholly-owned subsidiary, EMX (Utah) Corp. completed an Agreement and Plan of
Acquisition with Bullion Monarch Mining, Inc. (“Bullion”) whereby the Company acquired 100% of the issued and
outstanding shares of Bullion (Note 3).
Management believes it has sufficient funding for operations for the ensuing year, which results in the going concern
assumption being an appropriate underlying concept for the preparation of these consolidated financial statements.
Some of the Company’s activities for exploration and evaluation assets are located in emerging nations and, consequently,
may be subject to a higher level of risk compared to other developed countries. Operations, the status of mineral property
rights and the recoverability of investments in emerging nations can be affected by changing economic, legal, regulatory
and political situations.
At the date of these consolidated financial statements, the Company has not identified a known body of commercial grade
mineral on any of its exploration and evaluation assets. The ability of the Company to realize the costs it has incurred to
date on these exploration and evaluation assets is dependent upon the Company identifying a commercial mineral body, to
finance its development costs and to resolve any environmental, regulatory or other constraints which may hinder the
successful development of the exploration and evaluation assets.
These consolidated financial statements of the Company are presented in Canadian dollars unless otherwise noted, which is
the functional currency of the parent company and its subsidiaries except as to Bullion Monarch Mining, Inc. (Note 3), the
holder of a royalty income stream whose functional currency is the United States (“US”) dollar.
2. STATEMENT OF COMPLIANCE AND SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
Statement of Compliance
These consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with IFRS as issued by the International
Accounting Standards Board (“IASB”) and interpretations of the International Financial Reporting Interpretations
Committee (“IFRIC”).
These consolidated financial statements have been prepared on a historical cost basis, except for financial instruments
classified as fair value through profit or loss or available for sale, which are stated at their fair value. In addition, these
consolidated financial statements have been prepared using the accrual basis of accounting except for cash flow
information.

Summary of Significant Accounting Policies
Basis of Consolidation
The consolidated financial statements comprise the accounts of Eurasian, the parent company, and its controlled
subsidiaries, after the elimination of all significant intercompany balances and transactions.
Subsidiaries
Subsidiaries are all entities over which the Company has exposure to variable returns from its involvement and has the
ability to use power over the investee to affect its returns. The existence and effect of potential voting rights that are
currently exercisable or convertible are considered when assessing whether the Company controls another entity.
Subsidiaries are fully consolidated from the date on which control is transferred to the Company until the date on which
control ceases.
The accounts of subsidiaries are prepared for the same reporting period as the parent company, using consistent
accounting policies. Inter-company transactions, balances and unrealized gains or losses on transactions are eliminated. The
Company’s principal operating subsidiaries are as follows:
Business Combinations
The acquisition method of accounting is used to account for business combinations by the Company. The consideration
transferred for the acquisition of a business is the fair values of the assets transferred, the liabilities incurred and the equity
interests issued by the Company. The consideration transferred includes the fair value of any asset or liability resulting from
a contingent consideration arrangement. Acquisition-related costs are expensed as incurred. Identifiable assets acquired
and liabilities and contingent liabilities assumed in a business combination are measured initially at their fair values at the
acquisition date. On an acquisition-by-acquisition basis, the Company recognizes any non-controlling interest in the
acquiree either at fair value or at the non-controlling interest’s proportionate share of the acquiree’s net assets.
Subsequently, the carrying amount of non-controlling interest is the amount of the interest at initial recognition plus the
non-controlling interest’s share of the subsequent changes in equity. Total comprehensive income is attributed to non-
controlling interest even if this results in the non-controlling interest having a deficit balance.
The excess of the consideration transferred, the amount of any non-controlling interest in the acquiree and the acquisition-
date fair value of any previous equity interest in the acquiree over the fair value of the identifiable net assets acquired is
recorded as goodwill. If this is less than the fair value of the net assets of the subsidiary acquired in the case of a bargain
purchase, the difference is recognized directly in the statement of loss.

Business Combinations (Continued)
The Company has made an earlier election in terms of IFRS 1 to apply the requirements of IFRS 3 (Revised) – Business
Combinations to all business combinations with effective dates on or after April 1, 2010. The classification and accounting
treatment of business combinations with effective dates prior to April 1, 2010 have not been considered.
Functional and Reporting Currency
The functional currency is the currency of the primary economic environment in which the entity operates. The functional
currency for the Company and its subsidiaries is the Canadian dollar except the functional currency of the operations of
Bullion Monarch which is the US dollar. The functional currency determinations were conducted through an analysis of the
consideration factors identified in IAS 21, The Effects of Changes in Foreign Exchange Rates.
Translation of transactions and balances
Foreign currency transactions are translated into the functional currency using the exchange rates prevailing at the dates of
the transactions or valuation where items are re-measured. Monetary assets and liabilities denominated in foreign
currencies are re-measured at the rate of exchange at each financial position date. Foreign exchange gains and losses
resulting from the settlement of such transactions and from the translation at period end exchange rates of monetary
assets and liabilities denominated in foreign currencies are recognized in profit or loss.
On translation of the entities whose functional currency is other than the Canadian dollar, revenues and expenses are
translated at the exchange rates approximating those in effect on the date of the transactions. Assets and liabilities are
translated at the rate of exchange at the reporting date. Exchange gains and losses, including results of re-translation, are
recorded in the foreign currency translation reserve.
Financial Instruments
All financial instruments are classified into one of the following four categories:
(a) Financial assets and financial liabilities at fair value through profit or loss (“FVTPL”)
Financial assets and financial liabilities classified as FVTPL are acquired or incurred principally for the purpose of
selling or repurchasing them in the near term. They are recognized at fair value based on market prices, with
any resulting gains and losses reflected in profit or loss for the period in which they arise.
(b) Held-to-maturity financial assets
Held-to-maturity financial assets are non-derivative financial assets with fixed or determinable payments and
fixed maturity that an entity has the positive intention and ability to hold to maturity. They are measured at
amortized cost using the effective interest rate method less any impairment loss. A gain or loss is recognized in
profit or loss when the financial asset is derecognized or impaired, and through the amortization process.

Financial Instruments (Continued)
(c) Available for sale financial assets
Available for sale (“AFS”) financial assets are non-derivative financial assets that are designated as available for
sale, or that are not classified as loans and receivables, held-to-maturity investments, or FVTPL. They are
measured at fair value. Fair value is determined based on market prices. Equity instruments that do not have a
quoted market price in an active market are measured at cost. Gains and losses are recognized directly in other
comprehensive income (loss) until the financial asset is derecognized, at which time the cumulative gain or loss
previously recognized in accumulated other comprehensive income (loss) is recognized in profit or loss for the
period.
(d) Loans and receivables and other financial liabilities
Loans and receivables and other financial liabilities are measured at amortized cost, using the effective interest
rate method less any impairment loss.
The Company’s financial instruments consist of cash and cash equivalents, investments, receivables, restricted cash,
reclamation bonds, accounts payable and accrued liabilities, and advances from joint venture partners. Unless otherwise
noted the fair value of these financial instruments approximates their carrying values.
Cash and cash equivalents are classified as financial assets as loans and receivables and are accounted for at fair value.
Cash equivalents are held for the purpose of meeting short-term cash commitments rather than for investment or other
purposes.
Warrants held through investments are classified as derivative financial assets at FVTPL and are accounted for at fair value.
For warrants that are not traded on an exchange, no market value is readily available. When there are sufficient and
reliable observable market inputs, a valuation technique is used; if no such market inputs are available, the warrants are
valued at intrinsic value, which is equal to the higher of the market value of the underlying security less the exercise price of
the warrant, or zero.
Marketable securities are classified FVTPL and are measured at fair market value. Marketable securities transferred to the
Company as part of an acquisition are classified as AFS and are carried at fair market value. Changes in fair value of FVTPL
assets are reflected in profit or loss in the period in which they occur. Changes in fair value of AFS assets are reflected in
accumulated other comprehensive income on the statement of financial position until sold or if there is an other than
temporary impairment in value.
Reclamation bonds are classified as financial assets held-to-maturity.
Restricted cash is classified as financial assets at FVTPL.
The Company classifies its receivables as loans and receivables and its accounts payable and accrued liabilities and advances
from joint venture partners as other financial liabilities.

2. STATEMENT OF COMPLIANCE AND SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (Continued)
Summary of Significant Accounting Policies (Continued)
Impairment of Financial Assets
Financial assets are assessed for indicators of impairment at the end of each reporting period. Financial assets are impaired
when there is objective evidence that, as a result of one or more events that occurred after the initial recognition of the
financial assets, the estimated future cash flows of the financial assets have been impacted.
For all financial assets, objective evidence of impairment could include:
Significant financial difficulty of the issuer or counterparty;
Default or delinquency in interest or principal payments; or,
It becoming probable that the borrower will enter bankruptcy or financial re-organization.
For certain categories of financial assets, that are assessed not to be impaired individually, are subsequently assessed for
impairment on a collective basis. The carrying amount of financial assets is reduced by the impairment loss directly for all
financial assets with the exception of receivables, where the carrying amount is reduced through the use of an allowance
account. When a receivable is considered uncollectible, it is written off against the allowance account. Subsequent
recoveries of amounts previously written off are credited against the allowance account. Changes in the carrying amount of
the allowance account are recognized in profit or loss.
With the exception of FVTPL marketable securities, if in a subsequent period, the amount of the impairment loss decreases
and the decrease can be related objectively to an event occurring after the impairment was recognized, the previously
recognized impairment loss is reversed through profit or loss to the extent that the carrying amount of the investment at
the date the impairment is reversed does not exceed what the amortized cost would have been had the impairment not
been recognized. In respect of AFS marketable securities, impairment losses previously recognized through profit or loss are
not reversed through profit or loss. Any increase in fair value subsequent to an impairment loss is recognized directly in
equity.
Investments in Associated Companies
The Company accounts for its long-term investments in affiliated companies over which it has significant influence on the
equity basis of accounting, whereby the investment is initially recorded at cost, adjusted to recognize the Company’s share
of earnings or losses and reduced by dividends received.
The Company assesses its equity investments for impairment if there is objective evidence of impairment as a result of one
or more events that occurred after the initial recognition of the equity investment and that the event or events has an
impact on the estimated future cash flow of the investment that can be reliably estimated. Objective evidence of
impairment of equity investments includes:
Significant financial difficulty of the associated companies;
Becoming probable that the associated companies will enter bankruptcy or other financial reorganization; or,
National or local economic conditions that correlate with defaults of the associated companies.
Exploration and evaluation assets and exploration expenditures
Acquisition costs for exploration and evaluation assets, net of recoveries, are capitalized on a property-by-property basis.
Acquisition costs include cash consideration and the value of common shares, based on recent issue prices, issued for
exploration and evaluation assets pursuant to the terms of the agreement. Exploration expenditures, net of recoveries, are
charged to operations as incurred. After a property is determined by management to be commercially feasible, subsequent
development expenditures on the property will be capitalized.

2. STATEMENT OF COMPLIANCE AND SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (Continued)
Summary of Significant Accounting Policies (Continued)
Exploration and evaluation assets and exploration expenditures (Continued)
When there is little prospect of further work on a property being carried out by the Company or its partners, when a
property is abandoned, or when the capitalized costs are no longer considered recoverable, the related property costs are
written down to management’s estimate of their net recoverable amount. The costs related to a property from which
there is production, together with the costs of production equipment, will be depleted and amortized using the unit-of-
production method.
An exploration and evaluation asset acquired under an option agreement, where payments are made at the sole discretion
of the Company, is capitalized at the time of payment. Option payments received are treated as a reduction of the carrying
value of the related acquisition cost for the mineral property until the payments are in excess of acquisition costs, at which
time they are then credited to profit or loss. Option payments are at the discretion of the optionee and, accordingly, are
accounted for when receipt is reasonably assured.
Revenue recognition
The Company recognizes revenue in accordance with IAS 18 Revenue. Royalty revenue is recognized when persuasive
evidence of an arrangement exists, title and risk passes to the buyer, the amount of revenue can be measured reliably, it is
probable that the economic benefits associated with the sale will flow to the entity and the costs incurred in respect of the
transaction can be measured reliably. Royalty revenue may be subject to adjustment upon final settlement of estimated
metal prices, weights, and assays. Adjustments to revenue from metal prices are recorded monthly and other adjustments
are recorded on final settlement and are offset against revenue when incurred.
Royalty interests
Royalty interests in mineral properties include acquired royalty interests in production stage and exploration stage
properties. In accordance with IAS 38 Intangible Assets, the cost of acquired royalty interests in mineral properties is
capitalized as intangible assets.
Acquisition costs of production stage royalty interests are depleted using the units of production method over the life of the
related mineral property, which is calculated using estimated reserves. Acquisition costs of royalty interests on exploration
stage mineral properties, where there are no proven and probable reserves, are not amortized. At such time as the
associated exploration stage mineral interests are converted to proven and probable reserves, the cost basis is amortized
over the remaining life of the mineral property, using proven and probable reserves. The carrying values of exploration
stage mineral interests are evaluated for impairment at such time as information becomes available indicating that the
production will not occur in the future.
Goodwill
Goodwill represents the excess of the price paid for the acquisition of a consolidated entity over the fair value of the net
identifiable tangible and intangible assets and liabilities acquired in a business combination. Goodwill is allocated to the
cash generating unit to which it relates.
Goodwill is evaluated for impairment annually or more often if events or circumstances indicate there may be impairment.
Impairment is determined by assessing if the carrying value of a cash generating unit, including the allocated goodwill,
exceeds its recoverable amount.

2. STATEMENT OF COMPLIANCE AND SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (Continued)
Summary of Significant Accounting Policies (Continued)
Property and equipment
Property and equipment is recorded at cost. Equipment is depreciated over its estimated useful life using the declining
balance method at a rate of 20% per annum. Depreciation on equipment used directly on exploration projects is included
in exploration expenditures for that mineral property.
Decommissioning liabilities
Decommissioning liabilities are recognized for the expected obligations related to the retirement of long-lived tangible
assets that arise from the acquisition, construction, development or normal operation of such assets. A decommissioning
liability is recognized in the period in which it is incurred and when a reasonable estimate of the fair value of the liability can
be made with a corresponding decommissioning cost recognized by increasing the carrying amount of the related long-lived
asset. The decommissioning cost is subsequently allocated in a rational and systematic method over the underlying asset’s
useful life. The initial fair value of the liability is accreted, by charges to profit or loss, to its estimated future value. The
Company has no known decommissioning liabilities as of December 31, 2014 and 2013.
Environmental disturbance restoration
During the operating life of an asset, events such as infractions of environmental laws or regulations may occur. These
events are not related to the normal operation of the asset and are referred to as environmental disturbance restoration
provisions. The costs associated with these provisions are accrued and charged to profit or loss in the period in which the
event giving rise to the liability occurs. Any subsequent adjustments to these provisions due to changes in estimates are
also charged to profit or loss in the period of adjustment. These costs are not capitalized as part of the long-lived assets’
carrying value.
Impairment of assets
Events or changes in circumstances can give rise to significant impairment charges or reversals of impairment in a particular
year. The Company assesses its cash generating units annually to determine whether any indication of impairment exists.
Where an indicator of impairment exists, an estimate of the recoverable amount is made, which is the higher of the fair
value less costs to sell and value in use. The determination of the recoverable amount for value in use requires the use of
estimates and assumptions such as long-term commodity prices, discount rates, future capital requirements, exploration
potential and future operating performance. Fair value is determined as the amount that would be obtained from the sale
of the asset in an arm’s length transaction between knowledgeable and willing parties.
Cash and cash equivalents
Cash and cash equivalents include cash on hand, bank deposits and short-term, highly liquid investments that are readily
convertible to known amounts of cash.
Share-based payments
Share-based payments include option and stock grants granted to directors, employees and non-employees. The Company
accounts for share-based compensation using a fair value based method with respect to all share-based payments
measured and recognized, to directors, employees and non-employees. For directors and employees, the fair value of the
options and stock grants is measured at the date of grant. For non-employees, the fair value of the options and stock
grants is measured on the earlier of the date at which the counterparty performance is complete, or the date the
performance commitment is reached, or the date at which the equity instruments are granted if they are fully vested and
non-forfeitable. For directors, employees and non-employees, the fair value of the options and stock grants is accrued and
charged to operations, with the offsetting credit to share based payment reserve for options, and commitment to issue

shares for stock grants over the vesting period. If and when the stock options are exercised, the applicable amounts are
transferred from share-based payment reserve to share capital. When the stock grants are issued, the applicable fair value
is transferred from commitment to issue shares to share capital. Option based compensation awards are calculated using
the Black-Scholes option pricing model while stock grants are valued at the fair value on the date of grant.
Income taxes
Income tax expense consists of current and deferred tax. Income tax expense is recognized in profit or loss except to the
extent that it relates to items recognized directly in equity. Current tax is the expected tax payable on the taxable income
for the year, using tax rates enacted or substantively enacted at the reporting date, and any adjustment to tax payable in
respect of previous years. Deferred tax is calculated providing for temporary differences between the carrying amounts of
assets and liabilities for financial reporting purposes and the amounts used for taxation purposes.
Deferred tax is not recognized on the initial recognition of assets or liabilities in a transaction that is not a business
combination and that affects neither accounting nor taxable income nor loss. In addition, deferred tax is not recognized for
taxable temporary differences arising on the initial recognition of goodwill. Deferred tax is measured at the tax rates that
are expected to be applied to temporary differences when they reverse, based on the laws that have been enacted or
substantively enacted at the reporting date.
Deferred tax assets and liabilities are offset if there is a legally enforceable right to offset, and they relate to income taxes
levied by the same tax authority on the same taxable entity, or on different tax entities, but they intend to settle current tax
liabilities and assets on a net basis or their tax assets and liabilities will be realized simultaneously.
A deferred tax asset is recognized to the extent that it is probable that future taxable income will be available against which
the temporary difference can be utilized. Deferred tax assets are reviewed at each reporting date and are reduced to the
extent that it is no longer probable that the related tax benefit will be realized.
Income (loss) per share
Basic income or loss per share is calculated by dividing the net income or loss for the year by the weighted average number
of shares outstanding during the year. Diluted income or loss per share is calculated whereby the weighted average
number of shares outstanding used in the calculation of diluted income or loss per share assumes that the deemed
proceeds received from the exercise of stock options, share purchase warrants and their equivalents would be used to
repurchase common shares of the Company at the average market price during the year, if they are determined to have a
dilutive effect.
Existing stock options and share purchase warrants have not been included in the current year computation of diluted loss
per share as to do so would be anti-dilutive. For the years presented the basic and diluted losses per share are the same.
Valuation of equity units issued in private placements
The Company has adopted a residual value method with respect to the measurement of shares and warrants issued as
private placement units. The residual value method first allocates value to the more easily measurable component based
on fair value and then the residual value, if any, to the less easily measurable component.
The fair value of the common shares issued in the private placements was determined to be the more easily measurable
component and were valued at their fair value, as determined by the closing quoted bid price on the day prior to the

Segment Reporting
Operating segments are reported in a manner consistent with the internal reporting provided to the chief operating
decision-maker. The chief operating decision-maker, who is responsible for allocating resources and assessing performance
of the operating segment, has been identified as the Chief Executive Officer.
New and amended IFRS pronouncements effective January 1, 2014
The Company has adopted the following new and revised standards, along with any consequential amendments, effective
January 1, 2014. These changes were made in accordance with the applicable transitional provisions.
IAS 32 Financial Instruments: Presentation (“Amended IAS 32”) was amended by the IASB in December 2011. The
amendment clarifies that an entity has a legally enforceable right to offset financial assets and financial liabilities if that
right is not contingent on a future event and it is enforceable both in the normal course of business and in the event of
default, insolvency or bankruptcy of the entity and all counterparties. The adoption of Amended IAS 32 did not have a
significant impact on the Company’s consolidated financial statements.
IAS 36 Impairment of Assets (“Amended IAS 36”) was amended by the IASB in May 2013. The amendments require the
disclosure of the recoverable amount of impaired assets when an impairment loss has been recognized or reversed during
the period and additional disclosures about the measurement of the recoverable amount of impaired assets when the
recoverable amount is based on fair value less costs of disposal, including the discount rate when a present value technique
is used to measure the recoverable amount. The adoption of Amended IAS 36 did not have a significant impact on the
Company’s consolidated financial statements.
IFRIC 21 Levies (“IFRIC 21”), an interpretation of IAS 37 Provisions, Contingent Liabilities and Contingent Assets (“IAS 37”),
on the accounting for levies imposed by governments was issued by the IASB in May 2013. IAS 37 sets out criteria for the
recognition of a liability, one of which is the requirement for the entity to have a present obligation as a result of a past
event (“obligating event”). IFRIC 21 clarifies that the obligating event that gives rise to a liability to pay a levy is the activity
described in the relevant legislation that triggers the payment of the levy. IFRIC 21 is effective prospectively for annual
periods commencing on or after January 1, 2014. The adoption of IFRIC 21 did not result in an adjustment to the Company’s
consolidated financial statements.
Accounting pronouncements not yet effective
In May 2014, the IASB issued IFRS 15 Revenue from Contracts with Customers ("IFRS 15"), which supersedes IAS 11
Construction Contracts, IAS 18 Revenue, IFRIC 13 Customer Loyalty Programmes, IFRIC 15 Agreements for the Construction
of Real Estate, IFRIC 18 Transfers of Assets from Customers, and SIC 31 Revenue - Barter Transactions involving Advertising
Services. IFRS 15 establishes a single five-step model framework for determining the nature, amount, timing and
uncertainty of revenue and cash flows arising from a contract with a customer. The standard is effective for annual periods
beginning on or after January 1, 2017, with early adoption permitted. The Company is currently evaluating the impact the
final standard is expected to have on its consolidated financial statements.
The IASB intends to replace IAS 39 Financial Instruments: Recognition and Measurement in its entirety with IFRS 9 Financial
Instruments (“IFRS 9”) which is intended to reduce the complexity in the classification and measurement of financial

instruments. The IASB has determined that the revised effective date for IFRS 9 will be January 1, 2018. The Company is
currently evaluating the impact the final standard is expected to have on its consolidated financial statements.
Critical Accounting Judgments and Significant Estimates and Uncertainties
The preparation of the consolidated financial statements requires management to make judgments and estimates and form
assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements, and the
reported revenue and expenses during the periods presented therein. On an ongoing basis, management evaluates its
judgments and estimates in relation to assets, liabilities, royalty revenues and expenses. Management bases its judgments
and estimates on historical experience and on other various factors it believes to be reasonable under the circumstances.
Actual results may differ from these estimates under different assumptions and conditions.
The Company has identified the following critical accounting policies in which significant judgments, estimates and
assumptions are made and where actual results may differ from these estimates under different assumptions and
conditions and may materially affect financial results or the financial position reported in future periods. Further details of
the nature of these assumptions and conditions may be found in the relevant notes to the consolidated financial
statements.
a) Royalty interest and related depletion
In accordance with the Company’s accounting policy, royalty interests are evaluated on a periodic basis to determine
whether there are any indications of impairment. If any such indication exists, a formal estimate of recoverable amount is
performed and an impairment loss recognized to the extent that carrying amount exceeds recoverable amount. The
recoverable amount of a royalty asset is measured at the higher of fair value less costs to sell and value in use. The
determination of fair value and value in use requires management to make estimates and assumptions about expected
production and sales volumes, the proportion of areas subject to royalty rights, commodity prices (considering current and
historical prices, price trends and related factors), and reserves. These estimates and assumptions are subject to risk and
uncertainty; hence there is a possibility that changes in circumstances will alter these projections, which may impact the
recoverable amount of the assets. In such circumstances, some or all of the carrying value of the assets may be further
impaired or the impairment charge reduced with the impact recorded in profit or loss.
b) Goodwill
Goodwill is evaluated for impairment annually or more often if events or circumstances indicate there may be impairment.
Impairment is determined by assessing if the carrying value of a cash generating unit, including the allocated goodwill,
exceeds its recoverable amount. The assessment of the recoverable amount used in the goodwill impairment analysis is
subject to similar judgments and estimates as described above for property and equipment and royalty interests.
c) Exploration and Evaluation Assets
Recorded costs of exploration and evaluation assets are not intended to reflect present or future values of exploration and
evaluation assets. The recorded costs are subject to measurement uncertainty and it is reasonably possible, based on
existing knowledge, that a change in future conditions could require a material change in the recognized amount.
d) Taxation
The Company’s accounting policy for taxation requires management’s judgment as to the types of arrangements considered
to be a tax on income in contrast to an operating cost. Judgment is also required in assessing whether deferred tax assets
and certain deferred tax liabilities are recognized on the statement of financial position.

2. STATEMENT OF COMPLIANCE AND SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (Continued)
Critical Accounting Judgments and Significant Estimates and Uncertainties (Continued)
d) Taxation (Continued)
Deferred tax assets, including those arising from unused tax losses, capital losses and temporary differences, are recognized
only where it is considered probable that they will be recovered, which is dependent on the generation of sufficient future
taxable profits. Deferred tax liabilities arising from temporary differences caused principally by the expected royalty
revenues generated by the royalty property are recognized unless expected offsetting tax losses are sufficient to offset the
taxable income and therefore, taxable income is not expected to occur in the foreseeable future. Assumptions about the
generation of future taxable profits depend on management’s estimates of future cash flows. These depend on estimates of
future production and sales volumes, commodity prices, and reserves. Judgments are also required about the application of
income tax legislation in foreign jurisdictions. These judgments and assumptions are subject to risk and uncertainty, hence
there is a possibility that changes in circumstances will alter expectations, which may impact the amount of deferred tax
assets and deferred tax liabilities recognized on the statement of financial position and the amount of other tax losses and
temporary differences not yet recognized. In such circumstances, some or the entire carrying amount of recognized
deferred tax assets and liabilities may require adjustment, resulting in a corresponding credit or charge to profit or loss.
3. ACQUISITION OF BULLION MONARCH MINING, INC.
On February 7, 2012, the Company and its wholly-owned subsidiary, EMX (Utah) Corp. signed an Agreement and Plan of
Merger (the “Acquisition”) with Bullion Monarch Mining, Inc. (“Bullion”) whereby the Company agreed to acquire 100% of
the issued and outstanding shares of Bullion in consideration for 0.45 of each of the Company’s common shares and
US$0.11 in cash for each Bullion common share issued and outstanding. In addition, outstanding Bullion warrants have
been replaced by Eurasian warrants exercisable upon the same terms and conditions as under the applicable agreement,
except that each replacement warrant shall be exercisable for 0.45 of each of Eurasian’s common shares and US$0.11 in
cash in lieu of one Bullion common share.
On August 17, 2012, the acquisition of Bullion was completed following approval by Bullion shareholders at a special
meeting held on the same day.
The transaction has been accounted for as a business combination in accordance with IFRS 3, Business Combinations. As
per IFRS 3, the Company has recognized, separately from goodwill, identifiable assets acquired, and liabilities assumed in
Bullion at their fair values on the acquisition date. Accordingly, the Company has determined certain fair value adjustments
for the assets and liabilities of Bullion as of August 17, 2012, the closing date of the Acquisition. Furthermore, to reflect the
fair value increment of $39,536,000 (US$40,000,000) to the royalty property held by Bullion which generates royalty
income, the Company engaged an independent valuator to estimate the fair value of the royalty generating property. The
independent valuator applied the discounted cash flow model and estimated the fair value of the royalty income stream at
$39,536,000. Consequently, the assets and liabilities in the Bullion purchase price allocation are based on their estimated
fair value as shown below.
Goodwill represents the excess of the purchase price over the estimated fair value of assets acquired and liabilities assumed
of Bullion. The Goodwill is not deductible for tax purposes. The deferred tax liabilities are recognized primarily due to
temporary differences between the accounting value and tax basis of the royalty property assets that may result in
potential taxable amounts in future years. Subsequent to the closing of the Acquisition, the deferred income tax liabilities
will be adjusted in the period of enactment for the effect of an enacted change in tax laws or rates. The effect, which could
be significant, will be included in profit or loss from operations.
The aggregate amount of the total acquisition consideration is $36,441,148, determined by taking into account the issuance
of the Company’s 17,712,289 common shares valued at $32,059,062, the obligation for 1,125,000 warrants valued at
$102,653 to replace Bullion’s outstanding warrants and the payment of $4,279,433.

3. ACQUISITION OF BULLION MONARCH MINING, INC. (Continued)
The following summarizes the consideration transferred and the recognized amounts of assets acquired and liabilities
assumed at the acquisition date.
The value of the Company’s common shares was calculated based on the issuance of the Company’s 17,712,189 common
shares at a price per share of $1.81 which was the TSX Venture Exchange closing price of the Company’s common share on
August 17, 2012, the closing date of the Acquisition.
The cash payment of $4,279,433 is based on cash consideration per share of US$0.11 for each of the 39,360,518 Bullion
common shares outstanding immediately prior to the completion of the Acquisition.
The assumption and replacement of Bullion warrants is valued using the Black-Scholes option pricing model. The
assumptions used in Black-Scholes option pricing model are as follows: share price of $1.81, adjusted exercise price of $2.39
less the warrant cash consideration of US$0.11, dividend yield of 0%, expected life of 0.62 years, volatility of 44.66% and
risk-free interest rate of 1.21%. Volatility of 44.66% represents the historical volatility that the Company has used to value
similar equity instruments. The fair value of the 1,125,000 replacement warrants is based on Bullion’s outstanding
2,500,000 warrants adjusted by a factor of 0.45 of each of the Company’s common share per Bullion warrant.
4. CASH AND CASH EQUIVALENTS
Cash consists of deposits at banks earning interest at floating rates based on daily bank deposit rates and cash on hand.
Cash equivalents consist of short-term deposits with maturities less than 90 days.

Koonenberry - Perry & Armstrong
On December 7, 2009, the Company entered into an agreement, subsequently amended, to acquire a right to earn up to a
100% interest in an exploration license. To acquire its interest, the Company was required to provide consideration of
A$100,000 (A$60,000 paid and A$40,000 in shares issued) and work commitments totaling A$350,000 (incurred) over a
period of three years.
In April 2013, the Company earned its 100% ownership of the exploration license and the vendor’s interest has reverted to
a 2% net smelter returns royalty (“NSR”).
The Company has the right to buy the 2% NSR (after bankable feasibility study) for consideration equivalent to 10% of the
“Proved Ore Reserves”, as defined in the Code for Reporting of Mineral Resources and Ore Reserves (the “JORC Code”) set

Haiti exploration permits
Eurasian and joint venture partner Newmont Ventures Limited (“Newmont”), a wholly owned subsidiary of Newmont
Mining Corporation (collectively, the “JV”), have the right to establish specific exploration areas along the trend of Haiti’s
Massif du Nord mineral belt. Newmont is funding and managing six joint venture Designated Projects (“DP’s”) across the
exploration areas. The JV is waiting for approval of Research Permits by the Government of Haiti. The Company’s work on
the 100% controlled Grand Bois gold-copper project is outside of the JV with Newmont.
In March 2013, the Haiti government placed the Mining Convention process on hold while its parliament began working on
a new mining law. The Government deferred further consideration of the JV’s request for the Research Permits that would
cover the six DP’s, and request for an extension of the Grand Bois Research Permit, while revisions to the mining law are
pending. As a result, Newmont placed the JV’s on care and maintenance status. The Company considered the deferral of
its request for an extension of the Grand Bois Research Permit to be a force majeure event and also placed its Grand Bois
project on care and maintenance status.

11. ROYALTY INTEREST
Changes in royalty interest for the years ended December 31, 2014, 2013 and 2012:
Carlin Trend Royalty Claim Block
On August 17, 2012, the Company and its wholly-owned subsidiary, EMX (Utah) Corp. completed the acquisition of Bullion
(Note 3). As part of the acquisition, the Company acquired the Carlin Trend Royalty Claim Block in Nevada which includes
the following Royalty Properties:
Leeville Mine: Located in Eureka County, Nevada, the Company is receiving a continuing 1% gross smelter return royalty
(“GSRR”).
East Ore Body Mine: Located in Eureka County, Nevada, the property is currently being mined and the Company is receiving
a continuing 1% GSRR.
North Pipeline: Located in Lander County, Nevada. Should the property become producing, the Company will receive a
production royalty of US$0.50 per yard of ore processed or 4% of net profit, whichever is greater.
The Company capitalized $39,536,000 (US$40,000,000) for the Carlin Trend Royalty Claim Block which represents the fair
value on the acquisition date (Note 3).
During the year ended December 31, 2014, $801,836 (2013 - $1,280,997; 2012 - $537,035) in royalty income was included
in operations offset by a 5% direct gold tax and depletion.
Brestovac/Jasikovo East Royalty
In September 2013, the Company purchased a 0.5% NSR royalty from Euromax Resources Ltd. for $200,000 covering
Reservoir Mineral Inc.’s (a public company listed on the TSX-V) (“Reservoir”) share of minerals and metals mined from the
Brestovac and Jasikovo East properties in Serbia. These two properties are included in Reservoir’s Timok Project which is in
joint venture with Freeport-McMoran Exploration Corporation (“Freeport”). The 0.5% NSR royalty is proportionately
reduced to Reservoir’s interest in the properties as Freeport earns-in by making exploration expenditures under the
circumstances provided in the NSR agreement. Freeport has thus far earned a 55% interest in the Timok Project.

11. ROYALTY INTEREST (Continued)
Impairment of Non-Current Assets
The Company’s policy for accounting for impairment of non-current assets is to use the higher of the estimates of fair value
less cost of disposal of these assets or value in use. The Company uses valuation techniques that require significant
judgments and assumptions, including those with respect to future production levels, future metal prices, foreign exchange
rates, discount rates, and Net Asset Value (“NAV”) multiples.
Non-current assets are tested for impairment when events or changes in circumstances suggest that the carrying amount
may not be recoverable. As a result of the decline in the production of gold from the Carlin Trend Royalty Claim Block, the
Company revised its estimated annual gold production over the expected 11 year mine life and updated the NAV and cash
flow multiples based on observed market conditions. As a result of these changes, the Company recorded $7,371,765 (2013
- $4,765,511; 2012 - $Nil) in impairment charges for the year ended December 31, 2014 related to the Carlin Trend Royalty
Claim Block and related assets that make up the same cash-generating unit (“CGU”). In addition, due to the tax effects of
the above-mentioned impairment, the Company recorded a decrease in deferred tax liabilities of $2,493,010 (2013 -
$1,779,707; 2012 - $Nil) with a corresponding entry to deferred income tax recovery.
12. RECLAMATION BONDS
Reclamation bonds are held as security towards future exploration work and the related future potential cost of
reclamation of the Company’s land and unproven mineral interests. Once reclamation of the properties is complete, the
bonds will be returned to the Company. Management has determined that the Company has no decommissioning or
restoration provisions related to the properties for the periods presented.
13. GOODWILL
The Company’s goodwill represents the excess of the purchase price paid during fiscal 2012 for the acquisition of Bullion
Monarch Mining Inc. over the fair value of the net identifiable tangible and intangible assets and liabilities acquired.
Change in goodwill for the years ended December 31, 2014, 2013 and 2012:

13. GOODWILL (Continued)
The Company applied a one-step approach and determined the Carlin Trend Royalty Claim Block and the related assets
within the same CGU to be impaired (Note 11). The impairment loss is the amount by which the CGU’s carrying amount
exceeds its recoverable amount. The loss is first applied to reduce asset component and any excess to goodwill within CGU.
As result, the Company has written down the goodwill by $2,248,057 (2013 - $Nil; 2012 - $Nil).

The Company’s royalty interest, goodwill, deferred income tax liability and royalty income and depletion form a cash
generating unit located in the U.S.A, except $200,000 in a royalty interest held in Serbia.
20. RISK AND CAPITAL MANAGEMENT: FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS
The Company considers items included in shareholders’ equity as capital. The Company’s objective when managing capital
is to safeguard the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern, so that it can continue to provide returns for
shareholders and benefits for other stakeholders.
The Company currently has continuing royalty revenues to fund a portion of ongoing costs. In order to fund future projects
and pay for administrative costs, the Company will spend its existing working capital and raise additional funds as needed.
As at December 31, 2014, the Company had working capital of $7,096,916 (2013 - $14,217,999). Management will need
additional sources of working capital to continue it’s currently planned programs beyond twelve months, by issuing new
shares or the sale of assets.
The Company manages the capital structure and makes adjustments in light of changes in economic conditions and the risk
characteristics of the underlying assets.
In order to maintain or adjust the capital structure, the Company may issue new shares through public and/or private
placements, sell assets, or return capital to shareholders. The Company is not subject to externally imposed capital
requirements.
Fair Value
The Company characterizes inputs used in determining fair value using a hierarchy that prioritizes inputs depending on the
degree to which they are observable. The three levels of the fair value hierarchy are as follows:
Level 1: inputs represent quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities. Active markets are those
in which transactions occur in sufficient frequency and volume to provide pricing information on an ongoing basis.
Level 2: inputs other than quoted prices that are observable, either directly or indirectly. Level 2 valuations are
based on inputs, including quoted forward prices for commodities, market interest rates, and volatility factors,
which can be observed or corroborated in the market place.
Level 3: inputs that are less observable, unavoidable or where the observable data does not support the majority
of the instruments’ fair value.
As at December 31, 2014, there were no changes in the levels in comparison to December 31, 2013. Financial instruments
measured at fair value on the statement of financial position are summarized in levels of the fair value hierarchy as follows:

20. RISK AND CAPITAL MANAGEMENT: FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS (Continued)
The carrying value of receivables, reclamation bonds, accounts payable and accrued liabilities, and advances from joint
venture partners approximate their fair value because of the short-term nature of these instruments.
The Company’s financial instruments are exposed to certain financial risks, including credit risk, interest rate risk, market
risk, liquidity risk and currency risk.
Credit Risk
The Company is exposed to credit risk by holding cash and cash equivalents and receivables. This risk is minimized by
holding a significant portion of the funds in Canadian banks. The Company’s exposure with respect to its receivables is
primarily related to royalty streams and recovery of exploration evaluation costs.
Interest Rate Risk
The Company is exposed to interest rate risk because of fluctuating interest rates. Management believes the interest rate
risk is low given the current low global interest rate environment.
Fluctuations in market rates is not expected to have a significant impact on the Company’s operations due to the short term
to maturity and no penalty cashable feature of its cash equivalents.
Market Risk
The Company is exposed to market risk because of the fluctuating values of its publicly traded marketable securities and
other company investments. The Company has no control over these fluctuations and does not hedge its investments.
Based on the December 31, 2014 portfolio values, a 10% increase or decrease in effective market values would increase or
decrease net shareholders’ equity by approximately $104,000.
Liquidity Risk
Liquidity risk is the risk that the Company is unable to meet its financial obligations as they come due. The Company
manages this risk by careful management of its working capital to ensure the Company’s expenditures will not exceed
available resources.
Commodity Risk
The Company’s royalty revenues are derived from a royalty interest and are based on the extraction and sale of precious
and base minerals and metals. Factors beyond the control of the Company may affect the marketability of metals
discovered. Metal prices have historically fluctuated widely. Consequently, the economic viability of the Company’s royalty
interests cannot be accurately predicted and may be adversely affected by fluctuations in mineral prices.

20. RISK AND CAPITAL MANAGEMENT: FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS (Continued)
Currency Risk
Foreign exchange risk arises when future commercial transactions and recognized assets and liabilities are denominated in
a currency that is not the entity’s functional currency. The Company operates in Canada, Haiti, Turkey, Georgia, Sweden,
Australia and the U.S.A. The Company funds cash calls to its subsidiary companies outside of Canada in U.S. dollars (“USD”)
and a portion of its expenditures are also incurred in local currencies.
The exposure of the Company’s cash and cash equivalents, receivables, and accounts payable and accrued liabilities to
foreign exchange risk as at December 31, 2014 is as follows:
The balances noted above reflect the USD balances held within the parent company and any wholly owned subsidiaries.
Balances denominated in another currency other than the functional currency held in foreign operations are considered
immaterial.
Based on the above net exposure as at December 31, 2014, and assuming that all other variables remain constant, a 1%
depreciation or appreciation of the Canadian dollar against the US dollar would result in an increase/decrease of
approximately $22,000 in the Company’s pre-tax profit or loss.
