Of these, the two most important are palladium and platinum. EUA focuses on the mining of these two metals.\n\nDespite the Covid-19 driven correction (and V-shaped recovery) in Pd prices the underlying upward price drivers remain very largely unabated in a supply deficit market. We believe the Pd supply constraint, and rising demand in what is an inelastic largely non-substitutable good, is further sheltered by its tiny % contribution to overall auto costs. These characteristics of the Pd market leave head room for far higher prices than seen prior to the recent and ongoing pandemic.\n\n![](https://www.share-talk.com/wp-content/uploads/2021/09/ACF-Equity-Research-Eurasia-Mining-ACF-Equity-Research-Google-Chrome-2021-09-04-at-11.42.43-AM-300x133.jpeg)\n\n**EUA sum of the parts valuation £2.1bn operations contributions – it is still all about Monchetundra**\n\n(Yet to include Rosgeo JV, Iridium resource from projects or Monchetundra Lo+Wn+Flanks Rhodium resource, PGM price assumptions highly conservative vs. 2021 average and current spot prices)\n\n1) Potential resources within the existing company licence and the flanks application of ~15 million oz.\n\n2) Potential resources occurring within 5km of the Monchetundra mining license and areas neighbouring the company’s deposits of ~4 million oz.\n\n3) Potential resources within the wider Monchegorsk district in which the Monchetundra license is located of ~21 million oz.\n\nTo see the latest Eurasia Mining press releases [visit their website.](https://www.eurasiamining.co.uk/)\n\n[ACF Equity Research LTD (FRN 607274)](https://acfequityresearch.com/) is an Appointed Representative of City & Merchant Limited (FRN 154182) which is authorised and regulated by the Financial Conduct Authority. | Copyright © 2020 ACF Equity Research."}
