Eurasian Minerals Completes Royalty Property Consolidation of the Koonenberry Gold Project, Australia

VANCOUVER, BRITISH COLUMBIA--(Marketwired - Feb. 19, 2014) - Eurasian Minerals Inc. (the "Company" or "EMX") (TSX VENTURE:EMX)(NYSE MKT:EMXX) is pleased to announce the signing of an Exploration and Option Agreement (the "Agreement") with North Queensland Mining Pty Ltd. ("NQM"), a privately-held Australian company, to acquire EMX's Koonenberry exploration licenses in New South Wales, Australia. NQM has the option to earn a 100% interest in the EMX subsidiary that holds the licenses, with EMX retaining a 3% production royalty. As a result of the Agreement, all of EMX's interests in the Koonenberry gold project are now being advanced by partner companies, with EMX retaining various royalty interests that cover the entire project area.

Initially, NQM anticipates commencing small-scale gold production from alluvial and eluvial materials, while continuing to explore for the hardrock sources of gold mineralization. Koonenberry is widely known for its specimen gold production from surficial deposits, and EMX's previous work demonstrated the upside exploration potential for discovering this gold's underlying bedrock sources. The Company views NQM's proposed production scenario as a way to quickly capitalize on the demonstrated alluvial/eluvial gold potential, while providing revenue streams to support further exploration and project development.

Commercial Terms. Pursuant to the Agreement, NQM has the option for three years after the Agreement date to acquire the EMX subsidiary (EMX Exploration Pty Ltd.) that holds the Company's remaining exploration licenses in the project area. On or before the second anniversary of the Agreement date, NQM can reduce the 3% production royalty to be retained by EMX to 2.5%, by agreeing to pay annual advance royalties in the following amounts: 75 troy ounces of gold (or cash equivalent thereof) delivered on the first anniversary of NQM's election to reduce the amount of the production royalty, 100 troy ounces of gold (or cash equivalent) on the earlier of the third anniversary of the Agreement date or the closing of the exercise of the election, and 100 troy ounces of gold (or cash equivalent) on all subsequent anniversaries of the Agreement date until commencement of commercial production. NQM will bear responsibility of satisfying all existing work commitments and honoring all underlying property agreements during the term of the Agreement.
