Eurasia Mining PLC ('Eurasia') is pleased to announce that it has raised
£300,000 in a placing of 2,000,000 new Ordinary Shares at 15 pence each, with
institutional and private clients of its stockbrokers W H Ireland Limited, to
raise £280,000 net of expenses.
The proceeds of the share placing will be utilised to fund Eurasia's
continuing Platinum Group Metals exploration programmes in the Urals region of
Russia and in the Bushveld region of South Africa.
Eurasia's Finance Director, Mr Robert Jenkins, is also participating in the
share placing, and is subscribing for 50,000 new Ordinary Shares. This brings
his total shareholding in Eurasia to 250,000 shares, representing 0.69% of the
enlarged issued share capital
Simultaneously to the share placing, Framlington Russian Investment Fund
('FRIF') is converting US$166,284 (£117,723) of loan stock into 853,068 new

conversion, US$990,093 (£700,951) of FRIF's loan stock remains outstanding,
and convertible or otherwise repayable in accordance with terms announced on
17 May 2001.
Following the share placing and conversion of loan stock, Eurasia's issued
share capital has increased to 36,219,724 Ordinary Shares. Application has
