Re Alliance

Eurasia Mining PLC 21 September 2006 Eurasia Mining Plc ('Eurasia' or the 'Company') Strategic change by AngloGold precludes continuance of joint exploration with Eurasia AngloGold Ashanti Limited ('AngloGold') has informed Eurasia it intends to withdraw from the gold exploration alliance established between the parties in April 2005. The arrangement had covered the exploration for gold and other minerals in certain areas of eastern Siberia, as well as the future development of any suitable sites which were discovered. The withdrawal is prompted by a potential conflict of interest following a new alliance involving AngloGold in Russia. Eurasia Managing Director Christian Schaffalitzky said: 'While this joint operation with AngloGold is ending, we are pleased the alliance has given us a firm footing in gold exploration in Russia and achieved significant progress at no expense to Eurasia as well as developing a good portfolio of projects for Eurasia to follow up. We will be continuing this work on our own account after AngloGold leaves the alliance at the end of this year'. To enter the alliance, AngloGold paid a fee of US$100,000 to Eurasia in recognition of Eurasia's previous costs and it has subsequently spent approximately US$1 million on the project. These costs are not refundable but the final details of the termination of the alliance have yet to be determined. Christian Schaffalitzky also said: 'Meanwhile work continues at an rapid pace in our joint venture with Anglo Platinum Limited ('Anglo Platinum') in both the Urals and Kola Peninsula where Anglo Platinum have committed to spend up to $10 million to earn 40% on three licence areas where drilling is currently underway.'
