At our West Kytlim project, work continued to identify further reserves and a new report was submitted to the authorities for approval in September 2013. These reserves were approved in March 2014 and our application for a Discovery Certificate followed. On granting of this, the Company will apply for a production licence. We are hopeful that this licence will be granted this year and allow us to commence mining in 2015. Meanwhile in Kola, we applied for an extension of the Monchetundra licence following the drilling programme in the summer of 2013. This was granted in December for a further three years, until December 2016. West Kytlim Once again the Company has succeeded in increasing its reserves of platinum over 12 months, with the new total approved by RosNedra in March 2014. Exploration work has increased C1 and C2 category Reserves of contained raw platinum by 35% from 1,689Kg in 2013 to 2,283Kg (80,495oz) this year. In our early years of exploration, we identified the extent of the platinum resources over the entire length of the Tylai and Kosva rivers within our licence area. Subsequently we undertook additional work at Bolshaya Sosnovka where we registered our first reserve and Discovery Certificate. While we were offered a mining licence shortly afterwards, the area was small and restricted to a single production site which was not optimal. For this reason we continued to undertake further detailed drilling, pitting and bulk sampling to increase the reserves and enlarge the area to be included in a production licence application. This was achieved last year when we submitted in September a TEO (Russian feasibility study) for approval of the enlarged area of reserves capable of sustaining an expanded multiple worksite operation. This TEO was based on two production sites operating over a 9-10 year period. It should be noted that these estimates are Reserves as defined by the national Russian standard on mining and minerals as published by the National Certification Body of the Russian Federation. For data to be included under this standard the Russian State or Federal body must approve it. Furthermore, the licence still has considerable potential as we know there are P1 and P2 Resources remaining which are targets for upgrading to reserves. Successful results from such work would allow the development of further mining sites and an extension of the productive life at West Kytlim to 14-15 years. 4 E U R A S I A M I N I N G P L C ANNUAL REPORT & ACCOUNTS 2013 Monchetundra Kamushanovsky Discussions continue with a third party to acquire a majority stake in this uranium venture in which the Company has a minority interest. Michael Martineau Chairman A new drilling programme was completed on the West Nittis target in our Monchetundra licence during the summer of 2013. The mineralization here occurs within a layered series of ultramafic rocks situated on the western flank of the NKT Massif. The drilling confirmed the presence of two styles of mineralization. The stratiform or layered zone which grades 1-1.2 g/t PGM and a separate zone with high angle structures which again yielded high results, with the best value being 1 metre at grades of 1.57 g/t Pt, 16.7 g/t Pd, 3.85% Cu, 0.08% Ni and 0.22 g/t Au. The 2013 program was directed at improving our understanding of the orientation of the mineralization, testing ore continuity, as well as expanding the dimensions of the known resource. The new results confirm several generations of steeply dipping North-South trending zones of mineralization which have an affinity with ore bodies elsewhere in the NKT Massif, and which were mined for high grade nickel and copper veins between 1937 and 1971. The potential for PGM deposits within the Massif has been largely ignored until recent exploration. Management is optimistic that this project will develop into a significant asset in the near term. To achieve this, additional exploration work is required and we continue to seek ways to develop this project without recourse to shareholder equity. ANNUAL REPORT & ACCOUNTS 2013 E U R A S I A M I N I N G P L C 5 Strategic report Eurasia Mining Plc Company No. 3010091 Eurasia Mining Plc (the “Eurasia” or the “Company”) is a public limited company incorporated and domiciled in Great Britain with its registered office and principal place of business at 2nd Floor, 85-87 Borough High Street, London SE1 1NH. The Company’s shares are quoted on AIM, the market operated by the London Stock Exchange Group plc. The principal activities of the Company its subsidiaries and joint venture (the “Group”) are related to the exploration for and development of platinum group metals (the “PGM”), gold and other minerals. The Group is currently developing two licences with its joint venture partner – West Kytlim in the Central Urals and Monchetundra on the Kola Peninsula in Russia while continuing to assess the potential of near to production gold projects in other regions in Russia and other countries of the former Soviet Union. At West Kytlim, the Group made several PGM discoveries of resources suitable for commercial mining and is working on obtaining a permit for an enlarged production licence area. Meanwhile, ongoing drilling continues to expand and upgrade the resource base. On the Kola Peninsular the Group discovered the PGM mineralisation within the Monchetundra licence, which is being further explored. Work continues on the potential open pit resource at West Nittis area within the Monchetundra licence boundaries. The Group also maintains an active interest in several non-core, innovative mining solutions including the Kamushanovsky Uranium Project in Kyrgyzstan. The Company’s aim is to deliver value to its shareholders by leveraging the significant experience of its directors and management team to advance our licences and to acquire new projects. 6 E U R A S I A M I N I N G P L C ANNUAL REPORT & ACCOUNTS 2013 Strategic report continued Eurasia Mining Plc Company No. 3010091 Key performance indicators At this stage of the Group business activities the Directors think it appropriate to limit the Key Performance Indicators (KPIs) used to monitor progress in the delivery of the Group’s strategic objectives, to assess actual performance against targets and to aid management of the business, other than the monitoring of licences and stages of exploration. The Board monitors relevant KPIs which it considers appropriate for a company at Eurasia’s stage of development. The KPIs for the Group are as follows: Financial KPIs Shareholder return – the performance of the share price. The Company’s shares are quoted on AIM and the shares have traded at 0.47-0.95p (2012: 0.41-0.80p) during the year under review; Exploration expenditure – funding and development costs. The availability of sufficient cash to facilitate continued investment and funding of exploration programmes and project development is essential. The Group monitors the availability of sufficient cash to fund work. At 31 December 2013 the group had a cash balance of £361,905 to allow it to continue its core project development. Non financial KPIs Environment management – the Group has environmental policies in place. Performance against environmental policies is continuously monitored. The directors consider that this has served to minimize any negative impact of current exploration activities on the environment. Operational – the number of additional exploration licences and exploration successes. There has been extensive exploration activity in the year, and the directors are encouraged by the prospectivity of the Group’s exploration licenses and by the exploration results obtained to date. Currently there is one production license application pending for a platinum mining at West Kytlim area in the Central Urals region in Russia. The Directors consider that performance against all KPI’s in 2013 was acceptable. Principal risks and uncertainties The risks inherent in an exploration business are kept under constant review by the Board and the Executive Committee. The going concern risk and the key financial risks affecting the Group and the Company are set out respectively in Notes 2 and 26 to the financial statements and the principal operating risks affecting the Group are detailed below: Project development risks The mineral property licences held by the Group and/or permits do not currently provide for the development of a mine. Consequently, the Group will be required to obtain further licences and/or permits (mining, environmental and otherwise) from the respective government departments in the applicable countries of operation. The Group engages into close discussion with respective government departments to have better understanding of the requirements and to make sure all requirements are implemented and duly reported to guaranty the grant of permits and licences. Political risk The Group’s assets are located in Russia which is still undergoing a substantial transformation from a centrally controlled command economy to a market-driven economy. In addition, in view of the legal and regulatory regime in Russia and sanctions imposed to certain individuals and companies in Russian over Ukraine in 2014, legal and economical inconsistencies may arise. The Group closely monitors all regulatory requirements and changes to the laws, rules and regulation taking steps whenever necessary to comply with regulation. Environmental issues The Group’s operations are subject to environmental regulation, including environmental impact assessments and permitting. Russian environmental legislation comprises numerous federal and regional regulations which are not fully harmonised and may not be consistently interpreted. The Group makes assessment of the environmental impact at the time it applies for permits and licences which are subject to such assessment. The regulatory environment The Group’s activities are subject to extensive federal and regional laws and regulations governing various matters, including licensing, production, taxes, mine safety, labour standards, occupational health and safety and environmental protections. Amendments to current laws and regulations governing operations and activities of mining companies or more stringent implementation or interpretation of these laws and regulations can have a material adverse impact on the Group and/or delay or prevent the development or expansion of the Group’s properties in Russia. The Group closely monitors all regulatory requirements and changes to the laws, rules and regulation taking steps whenever necessary to comply with regulation.

Statement of Directors’ responsibilities The Directors are responsible for preparing the Directors’ Report and the financial statements in accordance with applicable law and regulations. Company law requires the directors to prepare financial statements for each financial year. Under that law the directors have elected to prepare the financial statements in accordance with International Financial Reporting Standards as adopted by the European Union (IFRSs). Under company law the directors must not approve the financial statements unless they are satisfied that they give a true and fair view of the state of affairs and profit or loss of the company and group for that period. In preparing these financial statements, the directors are required to: • select suitable accounting policies and then apply them consistently; • make judgments and accounting estimates that are reasonable and prudent; • state whether applicable IFRSs have been followed, subject to any material departures disclosed and explained in the financial statements; • prepare the financial statements on the going concern basis unless it is inappropriate to presume that the company will continue in business. The Directors are responsible for keeping adequate accounting records that are sufficient to show and explain the Company’s transactions and disclose with reasonable accuracy at any time the financial position of the Company and Group and enable them to ensure that the financial statements comply with the Companies Act 2006. They are also responsible for safeguarding the assets of the Company and Group and hence for taking reasonable steps for the prevention and detection of fraud and other irregularities. The Directors confirm that so far as each Director is aware: • there is no relevant audit information of which the Company’s auditor is unaware; and • the directors have taken all steps that they ought to have taken as directors in order to make themselves aware of any relevant audit information and to establish that the auditors are aware of that information. The Directors are responsible for the maintenance and integrity of the corporate and financial information included on the company’s website. Legislation in the United Kingdom governing the preparation and dissemination of financial statements may differ from legislation in other jurisdictions. 10 E U R A S I A M I N I N G P L C ANNUAL REPORT & ACCOUNTS 2013 Corporate Governance The Board of Directors The Directors are responsible for the Group’s system of internal control and for reviewing its effectiveness. The risk management process and systems of internal control are designed to manage rather than eliminate the risk of failure to achieve the Company’s objectives. Any such system of internal financial control can only provide reasonable but not absolute assurance against material misstatement or loss. Full Board meetings are held quarterly to review Group strategy, direction and financial performance. The executive Directors meet regularly to review operational reports from all the Group’s areas of operations. The process is used to identify major business risks and evaluate their financial implications and ensure an appropriate control environment. Certain control over expenditure is delegated to on site project managers subject to Board control by means of monthly budgetary reports. Internal financial control procedures include:- • preparation and regular review of operating budgets and forecasts • prior approval of all capital expenditure • review and debate of treasury policy • unrestricted access of non-executive Directors to all members of senior management. The Board, in conjunction with members of the Audit Committee, has reviewed the effectiveness of the system of internal control for the period from 1 January 2013 to the date of this report. Audit Committee The Chairman of the Audit Committee is Gary FitzGerald. The Audit Committee may examine any matters relating to the financial affairs of the Group and the Group’s audits, this includes reviews of the annual financial statements and announcements, internal control procedures, accounting procedures, accounting policies, the appointment, independence, objectivity, terms of reference and fees of external auditors and such other related functions as the Board may require. The membership of the Audit Committee comprises two non-executive Directors, Michael Martineau and Gary FitzGerald. The external auditors have direct access to the members of the Committee, without the presence of the executive Directors, for independent discussions. Remuneration Committee The Chairman of the Remuneration Committee is Michael Martineau. The committee comprises two non-executive Directors, Michael Martineau and Gary FitzGerald. It determines the terms and conditions of employment and annual remuneration of the Executive Directors. It consults with the Managing Director, takes into consideration external data and comparative third party remuneration and has access to professional advice outside the Company. Financial instruments Details of the financial risk management objectives and policies of the Group and the exposure of the Group to currency risk and liquidity risk are set out in note 26 to the financial statements. Auditors Grant Thornton UK LLP are willing to continue in office and a resolution proposing their re-appointment as auditors of the Company and a resolution authorising the Directors to fix their remuneration will be put to shareholders at the Annual General Meeting. By order of the Board M J de Villiers Secretary 2 May 2014 Directors’ report continued The key policy objectives of the Remuneration Committee in respect of the Company’s executive Directors and other senior executives are:- a) to ensure that individuals are fairly rewarded for their personal contribution to the Company’s overall performance, and b) to act as an independent committee ensuring that due regard is given to the interests of the Company’s Shareholders and to the financial and commercial health of the Company. Remuneration of executive Directors comprises basic salary, discretionary bonuses, participation in the Company’s share option scheme and other benefits. The Company’s remuneration policy with regard to options is to maintain an amount of not more than 10% of the issued share capital in options for the Company’s management and employees which may include the issue of new options in line with any new share issues. Total Directors’ emoluments are disclosed in notes 8 and 22 to the financial statements and the Directors’ options are disclosed above. During 2013 no options were granted to the Directors (2012: nil). Dividends and profit retention No dividend is proposed in respect of the year (2012: £nil) and the retained loss for the year attributable to the equity holders of the parent of £746,024 (2012: £1,331,700) has been taken to reserves. Research and development The Group’s research and development activities during the year continued to be concentrated principally on mineral exploration programmes and the improvement of mining techniques and metallurgical processes. Policy on payment of suppliers The Company's policy is to settle terms of payment with its suppliers when agreeing the terms of each transaction, ensuring that suppliers are made aware of the terms of payment, and abiding by the agreed terms. There were no trade creditors at the year-end.

The Company’s shares are listed on the Alternative Investment Market of the London Stock Exchange. The principal activities of the Company and its subsidiaries (the “Group”) are related to the exploration for and development of platinum group metals, gold and other minerals in Russia. Eurasia Mining Plc’s consolidated financial statements are presented in Pounds Sterling (£), which is also the functional currency of the parent company. 2 Going concern The directors have a reasonable expectation based on a review of the Group's budgets, plans, cash flow forecasts and the ability to flex their forecast spending to suit prevailing circumstances, that the Group is a going concern for a period of at least 12 months from the date of signing the financial statements. 3 Changes in accounting policies 3.1 New and revised standards that are effective for annual periods beginning on or after 1 January 2013 A number of new and revised standards are effective for annual periods beginning on or after 1 January 2013. Information on these new standards is presented below: Standard / interpretation Content Applicable for financial years beginning on/after IFRS13* Fair Value Measurement 01 January 2013 Amendments to IAS1* IFRIC20* Amendment to IAS 1: Presentation of Items of Other Comprehensive Income Stripping Costs in the Production Phase of a Surface Mine 01 July 2012 01 January 2013 IAS 19 (revised)* IAS 19 Employee Benefits (Revised June 2011) 01 January 2013 * The adoption of these Standards and Interpretations has had no material impact on the financial statements of the Group 3.2 Standards, amendments and interpretations to existing standards that are not yet effective and have not been adopted early by the Group At the date of authorisation of these financial statements, certain new standards, amendments IAS 8.31 and interpretations to existing standards have been published by the IASB but are not yet effective, and have not been adopted early by the Group. Management anticipates that all of the relevant pronouncements will be adopted in the Group’s accounting policies for the first period beginning after the effective date of the pronouncement. Information on new standards, amendments and interpretations that are expected to be relevant to the Group’s financial statements is provided below. Certain other new standards and interpretations have been issued but are not expected to have a material impact on the Group’s financial statements. IFRS 9 ‘Financial Instruments’ (IFRS 9) The IASB aims to replace IAS 39 ‘Financial Instruments: Recognition and Measurement’ (IAS39) in its entirety with IFRS 9. To date, the chapters dealing with recognition, classification, measurement and derecognition of financial assets and liabilities have been issued. These chapters are effective for annual periods beginning on or after 1 January 2015. Chapters dealing with impairment methodology and hedge accounting are still being developed. Further, in November 2011, the IASB tentatively decided to consider making limited modifications to IFRS 9’s financial asset classification model to address application issues. The Group’s management have yet to assess the impact of this new standard on the Group’s consolidated financial statements. Management does not expect to implement IFRS 9 until it has been completed and its overall impact can be assessed. IFRS 10 ‘Consolidated Financial Statements’ (IFRS 10) IFRS 10 supersedes IAS 27 ‘Consolidated and Separate Financial Statements’ (IAS 27) and SIC12 ‘Consolidation- Special Purpose Entities’. IFRS 10 revises the definition of control and provides extensive new guidance on its application. These new requirements have the potential to affect which of the Group’s investees are considered to be subsidiaries and therefore to change the scope of consolidation. The requirements on consolidation procedures, accounting for changes in non-controlling interests and accounting for loss of control of a subsidiary are unchanged. Management has reviewed its control assessments in accordance with IFRS 10 and has concluded that there is no effect on the classification (as subsidiaries or otherwise) of any of the Group’s investees held during the period or comparative periods covered by these financial statements. IFRS 11 ‘Joint Arrangements’ (IFRS 11) IFRS 11 supersedes IAS 31 ‘Interests in Joint Ventures’ (IAS 31) and SIC 13 ‘Jointly Controlled Entities- Non-Monetary- Contributions by Venturers’. IFRS 11 revises the categories of joint arrangement, and the criteria for classification into the categories, with the objective of more closely aligning the accounting with the investor’s rights and obligations relating to the arrangement. In addition, IAS 31’s option of using proportionate consolidation for arrangements classified as jointly controlled entities under that Standard has been eliminated. IFRS 11 now requires the use of the equity method for arrangements classified as joint ventures (as for investments in associates). The Group’s only joint arrangement within the scope of IFRS 11 is its 50% investment in Urals Alluvial Platinum Ltd (Cyprus), which was accounted for using the equity method under IAS 31. 20 E U R A S I A M I N I N G P L C ANNUAL REPORT & ACCOUNTS 2013 Notes to the consolidated financial statements continued For the year ended 31 December 2013 Management has reviewed the classification of Urals Alluvial Platinum Ltd in accordance with IFRS 11 and has concluded that there is no effect on the classification of the Groups’s joint venture operations during the period or comparative periods covered by these financial statements. IFRS 12 ‘Disclosure of Interests in Other Entities’ (IFRS 12) IFRS 12 integrates and makes consistent the disclosure requirements for various types of investments, including unconsolidated structured entities. It introduces new disclosure requirements about the risks to which an entity is exposed from its involvement with structured entities. ‘Investment Entities – Amendments to IFRS 10, IFRS 12 and IAS 27’ The Amendments define the term ‘investment entity’, provide supporting guidance and require investment entities to measure investments in the form of controlling interests in another entity at fair value through profit or loss. Management does not anticipate a material impact on the Group’s consolidated financial statements. 4 Summary of significant accounting policies 4.1 Basis of preparation The consolidated financial statements of the Group and the Company financial statements have been prepared in accordance with International Financial Reporting Standards (IFRS) as issued by the International Accounting Standards Board (IASB) as endorsed by the EU. These financial statements have been prepared under the historical cost convention. The accounting policies have been applied consistently throughout the Group for the purposes of preparation of these consolidated financial statements. All intra-group transactions, balances, income and expenses are eliminated in full on consolidation. Non-controlling interests in the net assets of consolidated subsidiaries are identified separately from the Group’s equity therein. Non-controlling interests consist of the amount of those interests at the date of the original business combination and the non-controlling party’s share of changes in equity since the date of the combination. 4.4 Business combinations The Group applies the acquisition method in accounting for business combinations. The consideration transferred by the Group to obtain control of a subsidiary is calculated as the sum of the acquisition-date fair values of assets transferred, liabilities incurred and the equity interests issued by the Group, which includes the fair value of any asset or liability arising from a contingent consideration arrangement. Acquisition costs are expensed as incurred. The Group recognises identifiable assets acquired and liabilities assumed in a business combination regardless of whether they have been previously recognised in the acquiree's financial statements prior to the acquisition. Assets acquired and liabilities assumed are generally measured at their acquisition-date fair values. Goodwill is stated after separate recognition of identifiable intangible assets. It is calculated as the excess of the sum of a) fair value of consideration transferred, b) the recognised amount of any non-controlling interest in the acquiree and c) acquisition-date fair value of any existing equity interest in the acquiree, over the acquisition-date fair values of identifiable net assets. If the fair values of identifiable net assets exceed the sum calculated above, the excess amount (ie gain on a bargain purchase) is recognised as a profit or loss immediately. 4.2 Presentation of financial statements 4.5 Interests in joint ventures The consolidated financial statements are presented in accordance with IAS 1 Presentation of Financial Statements. The Group has elected to present the “Statement of comprehensive income” in one statement. 4.3 Basis of consolidation The consolidated financial statements incorporate the financial statements of the Company and entities controlled by the Company. Control is achieved where the Company has the power to govern the financial and operating policies of an entity so as to obtain benefits from its activities. The results of subsidiaries acquired or disposed of are included in the consolidated income statement from the effective date of acquisition or up to the effective date of disposal, as appropriate. Where necessary, adjustments are made to the financial statements of subsidiaries to bring their accounting policies into line with those used by other members of the Group. A joint venture is a contractual arrangement whereby the Group and other parties undertake an economic activity that is subject to joint control that is when the strategic financial and operating policy decisions relating to the activities of the joint venture require the unanimous consent of the parties sharing control. The Group reports its interests in jointly controlled entities using the equity method of accounting, except when the investment is classified as held for sale. Under the equity method, investments in joint ventures are carried in the consolidated statement of financial position at cost as adjusted for post-acquisition changes in the Group’s share of the net assets of the joint venture, less any impairment in the value of individual investments. Losses of a joint venture in excess of the Group’s interest in that joint venture are not recognised, unless the Group has incurred legal or constructive obligations or made payments on behalf of the joint venture. Any excess of the cost of acquisition over the Group’s share of the net fair value of the identifiable assets, liabilities and ANNUAL REPORT & ACCOUNTS 2013 E U R A S I A M I N I N G P L C 21 Notes to the consolidated financial statements continued For the year ended 31 December 2013 contingent liabilities of the joint venture recognised at the date of acquisition is recognised as goodwill. The goodwill, if any is included within the carrying amount of the investment and is assessed annually for impairment as part of the investment. Any excess of the Group’s share of the net fair value of the identifiable assets, liabilities and contingent liabilities over the cost of acquisition, after reassessment, is recognised immediately as a profit or loss. Unrealised gains on transactions between the Group and its joint venture are eliminated to the extent of the Group’s interest in the joint venture. Unrealised losses are also eliminated unless the transaction provides evidence of an impairment of the asset transferred. 4.6 Interests in associates An associate is an entity over which the Group has significant influence and that is neither a subsidiary nor an interest in a joint venture. Significant influence is the power to participate in the financial and operating policy decisions of the investee but is not control or joint control over those policies. The results and assets and liabilities of associates are incorporated in these financial statements using the equity method of accounting, except when the investment is classified as held for sale, in which case it is accounted for in accordance with IFRS 5 Non-current Assets Held for Sale and Discontinued Operations. Under the equity method, investments in associates are carried in the consolidated statement of financial position at cost as adjusted for post- acquisition changes in the Group’s share of the net assets of the associate, less any impairment in the value of individual investments. Losses of an associate in excess of the Group’s interest in that associate are not recognised, unless the Group has incurred legal or constructive obligations or made payments on behalf of the associate. Any excess of the cost of acquisition over the Group’s share of the net fair value of the identifiable assets, liabilities and contingent liabilities of the associate recognised at the date of acquisition is recognised as goodwill. The goodwill, if any, is included within the carrying amount of the investment and is assessed annually for impairment as part of the investment. Any excess of the Group’s share of the net fair value of the identifiable assets, liabilities and contingent liabilities over the cost of acquisition, after reassessment, is recognised immediately in profit or loss. Where a group entity transacts with an associate of the Group, profits and losses are eliminated to the extent of the Group’s interest in the relevant associate. 4.7 Foreign currencies Functional and presentation currency The individual financial statements of each group entity are prepared in the currency of the primary economic environment in which the entity operates (“the functional currency”). The consolidated financial statements are presented in GBP, which is the functional and the presentation currency of the Company. Transaction and balances Foreign currency transactions are translated into the functional currency using the exchange rates prevailing at the dates of the transactions. Foreign exchange gains and losses resulting from the settlement of such transactions and from the translation at year-end exchange rates of monetary assets and liabilities denominated in foreign currencies are recognised in the profit or loss. Non-monetary items that are measured in terms of historical cost in a foreign currency are not retranslated. Group companies The results and financial position of all the group entities (none of which has the currency of a hyperinflationary economy) that have a functional currency different from the presentation currency are translated into the presentation currency as follows: • assets and liabilities for each statement of financial position presented are translated at the closing rate at the date of that statement of financial position; • income and expenses for each income statement are translated at average exchange rates (unless this average is not a reasonable approximation of the cumulative effect of the rates prevailing on the transaction dates, in which case income and expenses are translated at the rate on the dates of the transactions); and • all resulting exchange differences are recognised as a separate component of other comprehensive income. 4.8 Share-based payments Equity-settled share-based payments to employees and others providing similar services are measured at the fair value of the equity instrument at the grant date. Fair value is measured by use of Black Scholes model. The expected life used in the model has been adjusted, based on management’s best estimate, for the effects of non- transferability, exercise restrictions and behavioural considerations. The fair value determined at the grant date of the equity- settled share-based payments is expensed on a straight-line basis over the vesting period, based on the Group’s estimate of shares that will eventually vest. Equity-settled share-based payment transactions with other parties are measured at the fair value of the goods and services received, except where the fair value cannot be estimated reliably, in which case they are measured at the fair value of the equity instruments granted, measured at the date the entity obtains the goods or the counterparty renders the service. All equity-settled share-based payments are ultimately recognised as an expense in the profit or loss with a corresponding credit to “Share-based payments reserve". Upon exercise of share options the proceeds received net of attributable transaction costs are credited to share capital, and where appropriate share premium. No adjustment is made to any expense recognised in prior periods if share options ultimately exercised are different to that estimated on vesting or if the share options vest but are not exercised. 22 E U R A S I A M I N I N G P L C ANNUAL REPORT & ACCOUNTS 2013 Notes to the consolidated financial statements continued For the year ended 31 December 2013 When share options expire or cancelled by forfeiture the respective amount recognised in the Share-based payment reserve is reversed and credited to accumulated profit and loss reserve. values and depreciation method are reviewed at each year end, with the effect of any changes in estimate accounted for on a prospective basis. 4.9 Revenue Revenue comprises project management services to external customers (excluding VAT). Consideration receivable from customers is only recorded as revenue to the extent that the Company has performed its contractual obligations in respect of that consideration. 4.10 Taxation The estimated useful lives are as follows: Office equipment Furniture and fittings 3 years 5 years The gain or loss arising on the disposal or retirement of an item of property, plant and equipment is determined as the difference between the sales proceeds and the carrying amount of the asset and is recognised in profit or loss. Income tax expense represents the sum of the tax currently payable and deferred tax. 4.12 Intangible assets Current tax The tax payable is based on taxable profit for the year. Taxable profit differs from profit as reported in the statement of comprehensive income because it excludes items of income or expense that are taxable or deductible in other years and it further excludes items that are never taxable or deductible. The Group’s liability for current tax is calculated using tax rates that have been enacted or substantively enacted by the statement of financial position date. Deferred tax Deferred income tax is provided in full, using the liability method, on temporary differences arising between the tax bases of assets and liabilities and their carrying amounts in the consolidated financial statements. However, the deferred income tax is not accounted for if it arises from initial recognition of goodwill, initial recognition of an asset or liability in a transaction other than a business combination that at the time of the transaction affects neither accounting nor taxable profit or loss. Deferred income tax is determined using tax rates (and laws) that have been enacted or substantively enacted by the statement of financial position date and are expected to apply when the related deferred income tax asset is realised or the deferred income tax liability is settled. Deferred income tax assets are recognised to the extent that it is probable that future taxable profit will be available against which the temporary differences can be utilised. Deferred income tax is provided on temporary differences arising on investments in subsidiaries and associates, except where the timing of the reversal of the temporary difference is controlled by the Group and it is probable that the temporary difference will not reverse in the foreseeable future. 4.11 Property, plant and equipment Freehold properties held for administrative purposes, are stated in the statement of financial position at cost. Fixtures and equipment are stated at cost less accumulated depreciation and any accumulated impairment losses. Depreciation is charged so as to write off the cost or valuation of assets over their estimated useful lives, using the straight-line method. The estimated useful lives, residual Exploration and evaluation of mineral resources Exploration and evaluation expenditure comprises costs that are directly attributable to: • researching and analysing existing exploration data; • conducting geological studies, exploratory drilling and sampling; • examining and testing extraction and treatment methods; and/or • compiling prefeasibility and feasibility studies. Exploration expenditure relates to the initial search for deposits with economic potential. Evaluation expenditure arises from a detailed assessment of deposits that have been identified as having economic potential. Such capitalised evaluation expenditure is reviewed for impairment at each statement of financial position date. The review is based on a status report regarding the Group’s intentions for development of the undeveloped property. Subsequent recovery of the resulting carrying value depends on successful development of the area of interest or sale of the project. If a project does not prove viable, all irrecoverable costs associated with the project net of any related impairment provisions are written off. 4.13 Impairment testing intangible assets and property, plant and equipment At each statement of financial position date, the Group reviews the carrying amounts of the assets to determine whether there is any indication that those assets have suffered an impairment loss. If any such indication exists, the recoverable amount of the asset is estimated in order to determine the extent of the impairment loss (if any). Where it is not possible to estimate the recoverable amount of an individual asset, the Group estimates the recoverable amount of the cash-generating unit to which the asset belongs. Where a reasonable and consistent basis of allocation can be identified, corporate assets are also allocated to individual cash-generating units, or otherwise they are allocated to the smallest group of cash-generating units for which a reasonable and consistent allocation basis can be identified. ANNUAL REPORT & ACCOUNTS 2013 E U R A S I A M I N I N G P L C 23 Notes to the consolidated financial statements continued For the year ended 31 December 2013 Intangible assets with indefinite useful lives and intangible assets not yet available for use are tested for impairment annually, and whenever there is an indication that the asset may be impaired. Recoverable amount is the higher of fair value less costs to sell and value in use. In assessing value in use, the estimated future cash flows are discounted to their present value using a pre-tax discount rate that reflects current market assessments of the time value of money and the risks specific to the asset for which the estimates of future cash flows have not been adjusted. If the recoverable amount of an asset (or cash-generating unit) is estimated to be less than its carrying amount, the carrying amount of the asset (cash-generating unit) is reduced to its recoverable amount. An impairment loss is recognised immediately in profit or loss, unless the relevant asset is carried at a revalued amount, in which case the impairment loss is treated as a revaluation decrease. Where an impairment loss subsequently reverses, the carrying amount of the asset (cash-generating unit) is increased to the revised estimate of its recoverable amount, but so that the increased carrying amount does not exceed the carrying amount that would have been determined had no impairment loss been recognised for the asset (cash- generating unit) in prior years. A reversal of an impairment loss of the assets is recognised immediately in profit or loss, unless the relevant asset is carried at a revalued amount, in which case the reversal of the impairment loss is treated as a revaluation increase. 4.14 Financial instruments Financial assets and liabilities are recognised on the group’s statement of financial position when the group has become a party to the contractual provisions of the instrument. Financial assets Loans and receivables Trade receivables, loans, cash and cash equivalents, and other receivables that have fixed or determinable payments that are not quoted in an active market are classified as ‘loans and receivables’. Loans and receivables are measured initially fair value plus transaction costs and subsequently at amortised cost using the effective interest method less any impairment. Interest income is recognised by applying the effective interest rate, except for short-term receivables where the recognition of interest would be immaterial. Cash and cash equivalents Cash and cash equivalents comprise cash in hand and on deposit with banks. Impairment of financial assets Financial assets are assessed for indicators of impairment at each statement of financial position date. Financial assets are impaired where there is objective evidence that, as a result of one or more events that occurred after the initial recognition of the financial asset, the estimated future cash flows of the investment have been impacted. For financial assets carried at amortised cost, the amount of the impairment is the difference between the asset’s carrying amount and the present value of estimated future cash flows, discounted at the original effective interest rate. The carrying amount of the financial asset is reduced by the impairment loss directly for all financial assets with the exception of trade receivables where the carrying amount is reduced through the use of an allowance account. When a trade receivable is 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 recognised in profit or loss. 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 recognised, the previously recognised 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 amortised cost would have been had the impairment not been recognised. Impairment losses recognised in the income statement on equity instruments are not reversed through the income statement. Impairment losses recognised previously on debt securities are reversed through the income statement when the increase can be related objectively to an event occurring after the impairment loss was recognised in the income statement. Revision in timing of cash flows Where there is a change in the planned timing of repayment of loans or receivables the carrying amount of these financial assets or liabilities are adjusted to reflect the revised estimated cash flows. The present value of the estimated future cash flows is computed by reference to the effective interest rate of the item, the adjustment is recognised in profit or loss as income or expense. Financial liabilities and equity instruments issued by the Group Classification as debt or equity Financial liabilities and equity instruments are classified according to the substance of the contractual arrangements entered into. An equity instrument is any contract that evidences a residual interest in the assets of the entity after deducting all of its financial liabilities. Where the contractual liabilities of financial instruments (including share capital) are equivalent to a similar debt instrument, those financial instruments are classed as financial liabilities, and are presented as such in the statement of financial position. Finance costs and gains or losses relating to financial liabilities are included in the income statement. Finance costs are calculated so as to produce a constant rate of return on the outstanding liability. Where the contractual terms of share capital do not have any features meeting the definition of a financial liability then such capital is classed as an equity instrument. Dividends and distributions relating to equity instruments are debited direct to equity. 24 E U R A S I A M I N I N G P L C ANNUAL REPORT & ACCOUNTS 2013 Notes to the consolidated financial statements continued For the year ended 31 December 2013 5.3.1 Share-based payments The estimation of share-based payment costs requires the selection of an appropriate valuation model and consideration as to the inputs necessary for the valuation model chosen. The Group has made estimates as to the volatility of its own shares, the probable life of options granted and the time of exercise of those options. The model used by the Group is the Black-Scholes valuation model (see also note 21). 5.3.2 Recoverability of other financial assets The majority of other financial assets represent loans provided to subsidiary and joint venture, which are associated with funding of mineral exploration and development projects. The recoverability of such loans is dependent upon the discovery of economically recoverable reserves, the ability of the Company to maintain necessary financing to complete the development of reserves and future profitable production or proceeds from the disposition thereof. 5.3.3 Estimation of loans advanced to joint venture Loans extended on an interest free basis advanced to the joint venture enterprise, Urals Alluvial Platinum, have been discounted to reflect the time value of money. The discount has been applied in accordance with a best estimate of the likely repayment period. The repayment period is based on the future commercial operations located in the Urals generating cash flows. There is uncertainty as to the exact timing of these cash flows and as such the repayment period represents a source of estimation uncertainty. 5.3.4 Effective interest rate The monies advanced to the joint venture enterprise have been discounted using an effective interest rate of 10% which is management's best estimate of the risks relating to the country, the asset and the projects current status of exploration. 6 Segmental information During the year under review Management identified the group as one operating segment being investing in the joint venture which undertakes the exploration for and development of platinum group metals, gold and other minerals in Russia. This one segment is monitored and strategic decisions are made based upon it and other non-financial data collated from the on-going exploration activities. The formats of financial reports that are reported to the Chief Operating Decision Maker are consistent with those presented in the annual financial statements. Other financial liabilities Other financial liabilities, are initially measured at fair value, net of transaction costs. Other financial liabilities are subsequently measured at amortised cost using the effective interest method, with interest expense recognised on an effective yield basis. The effective interest method is a method of calculating the amortised cost of a financial liability and of allocating interest expense over the relevant period. The effective interest rate is the rate that exactly discounts estimated future cash payments through the expected life of the financial liability, or, where appropriate, a shorter period. 4.15 Segmental 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 segments, has been identified as the executive directors of the Group that make the operating decisions. 5 Critical accounting judgements and key sources of estimation uncertainty Estimates and judgements are continually evaluated and are based on historical experience and other factors, including expectations of future events that are believed to be reasonable under the circumstances. 5.1 Investments in associates The Company has a combined interest in Russian registered Terskaya Mining Company and Yuksporskaya Mining Company of 60%. 20% in each of them is held directly by the Company and the remaining 80% is held by the joint venture Urals Alluvial Platinum Limited (the “UAP”) where the company has a 50% interest. By arrangements with the UAP the Company’s ownership does not constitute control even though more than half of the potential voting power is owned by the Company and therefore the direct 20% interest has being accounted as interest in associates. 5.2 Investments in subsidiaries The Company has a holding of 48.33% in the BVI registered company Energy Resources Asia Limited (the “ERA”). Directors consider the ERA to be a subsidiary of the Company despite holding less than 50% of the voting power of the entity based on the fact that the Company has the power to govern the financial and operating policies of the entity so as to obtain benefits from its activities. 5.3 Key sources of estimation uncertainty The following are the key assumptions / uncertainties at the statement of financial position date, which have a significant risk of causing a material adjustment to the carrying amounts of assets and liabilities within the next financial year: ANNUAL REPORT & ACCOUNTS 2013 E U R A S I A M I N I N G P L C 25 Notes to the consolidated financial statements continued For the year ended 31 December 2013 7 Employees Average number of staff (excluding non-executive directors) employed throughout the year was as follows: By the Company By the Group 8 Loss for the year Loss for the year has been arrived at after charging: Depreciation Staff benefits expense: Wages, salaries and directors fees (note 22 ) Social security costs Share based payments Other short term benefits Audit fees payable to the company’s auditor for the audit of the annual Group’s accounts 9 Other financial results Net foreign exchange profit/(loss) 10 Income taxes Loss before tax Current tax at 24.5% Adjusted for the effect of: Expenses not deductible for tax purposes Difference between depreciation and capital allowances Tax losses carried forward Tax liability 2013 5 19 2012 5 19 Year to 31 December 2013 Company £ Group £ Year to 31 December 2012 Company £ Group £ 596 596 372 372 317,963 33,813 - 14,807 254,593 17,108 - 14,807 366,583 286,508 304,330 31,326 66,690 9,600 411,946 251,675 17,158 66,690 9,600 345,123 20,000 20,000 20,000 20,000 19,500 19,500 19,500 19,500 Year to 31 December 2013 Company £ Group £ Year to 31 December 2012 Company £ Group £ 8,916 8,916 (1,162) (1,162) 22,788 22,788 1,248 1,248 Year to 31 December 2013 Company £ Group £ Year to 31 December 2012 Company £ Group £ (750,339) (183,833) (708,263) (173,524) (1,358,597) (332,856) (1,250,471) (306,365) 72,948 (146) 66,194 (146) 189,185 (197) 175,836 (197) (111,031) (107,477) (143,869) (130,727) - - - - There was no tax payable for the year ended 31 December 2013 (2012: £nil) due to the Group and the Company having taxable losses. The Group’s business operations currently comprise mining projects in Russia, which are all currently at an exploration stage. The Group has tax losses carried forward on which no deferred tax asset is recognised. These losses may affect the future tax position by way of offset against profits as and when mining projects reach a development stage. The deferred asset arising from the accumulated tax losses has not been recognised due to insufficient evidence of timing of suitable taxable profits against which it can be recovered. 26 E U R A S I A M I N I N G P L C ANNUAL REPORT & ACCOUNTS 2013 Notes to the consolidated financial statements continued For the year ended 31 December 2013 11 Property, plant and equipment Group property, plant and equipment Cost Balance at 1 January 2012 Additions Disposals Exchange differences Balance at 31 December 2012 Additions Disposals Exchange differences Balance at 31 December 2013 Depreciation Balance at 1 January 2012 Depreciation expense Disposals Exchange differences Balance at 31 December 2012 Depreciation expense Disposals Exchange differences Balance at 31 December 2013 Carrying amount: at 31 December 2012 at 31 December 2013 Company’s office fixture and fittings Cost Balance at 1 January Additions Disposal Balance at 31 December Depreciation Balance at 1 January Depreciation expense Disposals Balance at 31 December Carrying amount Freehold £ Office fixture and fittings £ 23,994 - - 78 24,072 - - (681) 23,391 - - - - - - - - - 24,072 23,391 Total £ 68,685 572 (2,053) 115 67,319 2,202 (1,322) (996) 67,203 (44,087) (372) 2,053 (37) 44,691 572 (2,053) 37 43,247 2,202 (1,322) (315) 43,812 (44,087) (372) 2,053 (37) (42,443) (42,443) (839) 1,322 315 (839) 1,322 315 (41,645) (41,645) 804 2,167 2013 £ 39,741 2,028 (1,322) 40,447 (38,937) (665) 1,322 (38,280) 24,876 25,558 2012 £ 41,222 572 (2,053) 39,741 (40,618) (372) 2,053 (38,937) 2,167 804 The Group’s and Company's property, plant and equipment are free from any mortgage or charge.

To facilitate the MOU, the Group has nominated Energy Resources Asia Limited (the “ERA”), a British Virgin Islands registered company. During 2011 the Group raised $486,000 (£299,960) net of expenses on the market to fund acquisition and during the same period the Group invested $602,000 (£389,392) (note 14 ) towards the acquisition of interest in the company holding Kamushanovsky licence. Following this investment work has continued on completing a feasibility study for the mining of this project. The legal holder of the Kamushanovsky licence is negotiating a sale of all or part of the deposit and it is expected that the investment made by the Group will be refunded to the Group at profit. Directors consider ERA to be a subsidiary of the Company despite only holding 48.33% of the voting power of the entity based on the fact that the Company has the power to govern the financial and operating policies of the entity so as to obtain benefits from its activities. During 2013 the ERA’s shareholders agreed to convert the debts owed by the ERA into shares. The Company converted amount of £145,243 ($234,000) into 234 shares at $1,000 per share increasing its shareholding from 47% to 48.33%. Under the same arrangements $20,000 was contributed to ERA and consequently converted into 20 at ERA’s shares $1,000 per share by a non-controlling interest.

The Group does not hold any collateral as security. The Group has remeasured the fair value of the loan due from the joint venture due to the pattern of future cash flows having changed. The loan was discounted using NPV method and the discount of £270,178 (2012: £651,006) has been recognised. Actual repayment schedule and interest chargeable on the loan will be revised by the joint venture partners as soon as the production licence has been granted. Undiscounted amount of the loan at the end of 2013 is £3,551,411 (2012: £2,804,916). The monies advanced to the subsidiary enterprises by the Company are on an interest free basis with no fixed date for repayment. As such these amounts represent a net investment in the other members of the Group and are recognised at their full value as there are no indications of impairment.

This amount is equivalent to £365,070 using the prevailing rate of exchange at the year end (2012: £372,755). The maximum exposure to credit risk at the reporting date is the carrying value of each class of assets mentioned above. Recoverability of the loans is dependent on the borrower’s ability to (i) transform them into cash generating units through discovery of economically recoverable reserves and their development into profitable production or (ii) to complete a sale of all or part of the deposit, which is currently being negotiated (note 12). 15 Trade and other receivables Trade receivables Other receivables Prepayments Due from subsidiaries 2013 2012 Group £ 34,847 23,867 13,896 - Company £ 34,863 16,370 13,896 107,741 72,610 172,870 Group £ 23,439 16,396 18,599 - 58,434 Company £ 161,462 8,921 18,241 64,141 252,765 The fair value of trade and other receivables is not materially different to the carrying values presented.

All investments in exploration are capitalised on project basis, which are funded by shareholders funds, fixed rate borrowings and contributions from the partners in joint ventures. The Group’s activities expose it to a variety of financial risks including currency, fair value and liquidity risk. The Group seeks to minimise the effect of these risks on daily basis, though due to its limited activities the Group has not applied policy of using any financial instruments to a hedge these risks exposures. Risk management is carried out by the Company under close board supervision. Foreign currency risk The Group operates internationally and is exposed to foreign exchange risk arising from various currency exposures, primarily with respect to US Dollars and Russian Roubles. Foreign exchange risk arises from future commercial transactions, recognised assets and liabilities and net investments in foreign operations. The Group’s policy is not to enter into currency hedging transactions. The Group did not have sufficient exposure to foreign currencies to materially affect the Group’s operating results when tested for hypothetical changes in foreign exchange rates. Interest rate risk As the Group has no significant interest-bearing assets, the group’s operating cash flows are substantially independent of changes in market interest rates. Fair values In the opinion of the directors, there is no significant difference between the fair values of the Group’s and the Company’s assets and liabilities and their carrying values. 34 E U R A S I A M I N I N G P L C ANNUAL REPORT & ACCOUNTS 2013 Notes to the consolidated financial statements continued For the year ended 31 December 2013 Credit risk The Group’s exposure to credit risk is limited to the carrying amount of financial assets recognised at the statement of financial position date, as summarised below: Non-current loans and advances Trade and other receivables Cash and cash equivalents 2013 Group £ Company £ 3,114,037 72,610 361,905 3,888,261 172,870 361,087 Group £ 2,526,665 58,434 1,735,420 2012 Company £ 3,285,287 252,765 1,731,199 3,548,552 4,422,218 4,320,519 5,269,251 The Group’s only significant risk is on cash at bank, held principally at an independently “A” rated bank and the loan to the joint venture. No significant amounts are held at banks rated less than “B”. Cash is held either on current account or on short-term deposit at floating rate. Interest determined by the relevant prevailing base rate. The fair value of cash and cash equivalents at 31 December 2013 are not materially different from its carrying value. Recoverability of the loans is dependent on the borrower’s ability to transform them into cash generating units through discovery of economically recoverable reserves and their development into profitable production. The Company continuously monitors defaults by the counterparties, identified either individually or by group, and incorporates this information into its credit risk control. Management considers that all of the above financial assets that are not impaired are of good credit quality. Liquidity risk Ultimate responsibility for liquidity risk management rests with the board of directors, which has built an appropriate liquidity risk management framework for the management of the Group’s short, medium and long term funding and liquidity management requirements. The Group manages liquidity risk by maintaining adequate reserves, borrowing facilities, cash and cash equivalent by continuously monitoring forecast and actual cash flows and matching the maturity profiles of financial assets and liabilities. The following table details the Group’s remaining contractual maturity for its non-derivative financial liabilities. 2013 Trade and other payables 2012 Trade and other payables within 6 months £ 124,157 124,157 137,701 137,701 Current Non-current 6 to 12 months £ 1 to 5 years £ later than 5 years £ - - - - - - - - - - - - The following table details the Company’s remaining contractual maturity for its non-derivative financial liabilities. 2013 Trade and other payables 2012 Trade and other payables Current Non-current within 6 months £ 6 to 12 months £ 1 to 5 years £ later than 5 years £ 109,283 198,583 109,283 198,583 101,447 198,583 101,447 198,583 - - - - - - - - The tables above have been drawn up based on the undiscounted cash flows of financial liabilities based on the earliest date on which the Group can be required to pay.
