In Loipishnyun, the company discovered consistent grades of one to 1.3 grams per tonne of platinum and palladium over intercepts of 10 to 30 metres, at a depth of 150 metres.
West Nittis, about nine kilometres north of Loipishnyun, has revealed gold, palladium and platinum with a stratiform zone grading two to 15 grams per tonne.
Managing Director Christian Schaffalitzky said: "Now that the exploration licence has been extended for a further year, we aim to complete an application for one if not two areas for mining within the Monchetundra licence area."
Eurasia holds a 60% interest in the licence through its holding in Urals Alluvial Platinum, owned jointly with Anglo Platinum.
