Eurasia Mining managing director Christian Schaffalitzky said: "Much of the 30km of drilling on the licence was financed through a joint venture with Anglo American Platinum who sold their equity to Eurasia in 2014. 

"Since that time, Eurasia has managed to continue to advance the project through to the feasibility study and reserves approval, engineering procurement and construction (EPC) contract and financing, a considerable undertaking for an exploration company with a very limited budget."

According to the company, reserves are now fully compliant as defined under GKZ standards. 

"Eurasia has managed to continue to advance the project through to the feasibility study and reserves approval, EPC contract and financing."

Eurasia noted that the application for the award of a discovery certificate has already started. Once this has been finished, the company will be entitled to a production licence.
