    VANCOUVER, BRITISH COLUMBIA--(Marketwired - Oct. 19, 2016) - Eurasian Minerals Inc. (the "Company" or "EMX") (TSX VENTURE:EMX) (NYSE MKT:EMXX) is pleased to announce the execution of an Exploration and Option to Purchase Agreement (the "Agreement"), through its wholly owned subsidiary Bronco Creek Exploration Inc. ("BCE"), for the Copper King porphyry copper project (the "Project") to Kennecott Exploration Company ("Kennecott"), part of the Rio Tinto Group. The Project is located approximately 100 kilometers east of Phoenix, Arizona within the Superior Mining District, and approximately four kilometers northwest of the Resolution porphyry copper deposit. Please see www.eurasianminerals.com for more information.

    Commercial Terms. Pursuant to the Agreement, Kennecott can earn a 100% interest in the Project by (a) reimbursing the 2016 holding costs and making option payments, together totaling $504,314, and (b) completing $4,000,000 in exploration expenditures before the fifth anniversary of the Agreement (note: all dollar amounts in USD). Upon exercise of the option EMX will retain a 2% NSR royalty on the Project which is not capped or purchasable.

    After exercise of the option, annual advance minimum royalty ("AMR") payments are due starting at $100,000 and commencing on the first anniversary of the exercise of the option. The AMR payments will increase to $150,000 upon completion of an Order of Magnitude Study ("OMS") or Preliminary Economic Assessment ("PEA"). Kennecott may make a one-time payment of $3,500,000 to extinguish the obligation to make AMR payments. In addition, if not previously extinguished, total AMR payments after the OMS or PEA milestone payment are capped at $3,500,000, and all AMR payments cease upon commencement of production from the Project.

    In addition, Kennecott will make milestone payments consisting of:

    • $500,000 upon completion of an OMS or PEA;
    • $1,000,000 upon completion of a Prefeasibility Study; and
    • $2,000,000 upon completion of a Feasibility Study. The Feasibility Study payment will be credited against future royalty payments.

    Project Overview. The Copper King Project is comprised of 189 unpatented federal mining claims totaling ~3,555 acres adjacent to ground held by Resolution Copper. EMX identified the Project's porphyry copper target from its district generative work, and acquired the ground through staking in 2012 under a previous exploration alliance. Partner funded work has included property-wide mapping, geochemical sampling, two lines of induced polarization ("IP") geophysical surveys, drill permitting, and an initial drill test.
