Extension of Company Options

Eurasia Mining plc ("Eurasia" or the "Company"), the palladium, platinum, rhodium, iridium and gold producing company, announces that it has extended the expiry date on a class of share options which were granted to certain Directors, employees and a substantial shareholder on 2 November 2018 with a three-year term.

The expiry date on 151,000,000 share options, with a range of exercise prices (the "Options") has been extended for a period of six months from 2 November 2022 to 2 May 2023 (the "Options Extension")

Related Party Transaction

As 40,000,000 of the Options are held by Christian Schaffalitzky, the Company's Executive Chairman and Dmitry Suschov, a substantial shareholder in the Company (the "Related Parties"), the Options Extension constitutes a related party transaction under Rule 13 of the AIM Rules.

The Options which are held by the Related Parties are summarised in the table below:

Related Party	Options exercisable at 0.42 pence expiring 2 May 2023	Options exercisable at 0.60 pence expiring 2 May 2023	Options exercisable at 0.90 pence expiring 2 May 2023	Total Options
Christian Schaffalitzky	10,000,000	5,000,000	5,000,000	20,000,000
Dmitry Suschov	10,000,000	5,000,000	5,000,000	20,000,000

Accordingly, the Company's directors who are independent of the Options Extension (being all directors with the exception of Christian Schaffalitzky) consider, having consulted with the Company's nominated adviser, that the terms of the Options Extension are fair and reasonable insofar as shareholders of the Company are concerned.

· 62,000,000 options exercisable at 0.42 pence, expiring on 2 May 2023;
