[{"type":"text","content":"\n \nRNS Number : 8191A Eurasia Mining PLC 03 June 2019 \n\nEurasia Mining plc (AIM: EUA)\n(\"Eurasia\" or the \"Company\")\nWest Kytlim Production Update\nEurasia Mining, the palladium, platinum, iridium, rhodium and gold production Company, is pleased to report on production at the West Kytlim Open Pit Mine. Development of ore blocks has been ongoing since the first quarter of 2019 in preparation for the washing season. As mining and development of reserve blocks can be carried out in advance of gravel washing, it was decided to commence mining and to stockpile the ore. It is intended that the ore stockpile be maintained at the washplant site. This ore has been and will be continuously sampled during excavation to confirm the grades and acts as a buffer to ensure continuous feedstock for the onsite washplant. Full scale washing and production started in the second quarter.\nHighlights:\n· Mining on-going at West Kytlim Project since 1Q2019.\n· Ore stockpile of around 30,000m3 of ore creates a buffer of material to ensure constant production.\n· Full scale washing and production started in the second quarter.\nChairman, Christian Schaffalitzky commented 'We are confident of a strong second year at West Kytlim in 2019 with mining ongoing since the first quarter and with the full scale production and washing started in Q2. Our own team and that of our Contractor are building on their experience of last year with several modifications to the circuit aimed at further increasing efficiency and metal recovery. We will publish the improved grades and recovery numbers later this year, after these improvements are confirmed over longer term production period.'\nFurther detail:\nUpdate in Kluchiki Open Pit Mine: \nReserve blocks have been developed at the Kluchiki Open Pit Mine in the first half of this year. A ore stockpile of around 30,000m3 was established at the washplant site and is now being fed through the trommel using a feeder system. This addition to the washplant is designed to establish a more consistent flow of gravel through the plant than the excavator used to feed the washplant in the 2018 season. Maintaining a consistent flow of material improves washing efficiency and metal recovery. \nA graphic of the West Kytlim and its min...
