 Kyrgyzstan is a mountainous country in central Asia that is underlain by the highly prospective Tien Shan gold belt. This belt of mineralization stretches from the largest gold deposit in the world, Uzbekistan's 175 million ounce Muruntau deposit, to Ivanhoe's world-class Oyu Tolgoi copper-gold deposit in Mongolia's Gobi desert.
The Kyrgyz Republic is centrally positioned within the Tien Shan mineral belt, with substantial gold production, reserves, and discoveries to its credit. Most notable is the 10 million ounce Kumtor gold deposit operated by Centerra. In addition, there are the multi-million ounce Jerooy and Taldybulak deposits.
Eurasian Minerals, through its wholly owned Kyrgyz subsidiary Altyn Minerals Ltd., holds a portfolio of gold properties. EMX currently holds two exploration licenses in the country.
 The Kyrgyz Republic provides Eurasian Minerals with a unique opportunity to discover a world-class gold deposit in a very prospective, yet under-explored region. The Company has a well-established exploration presence in the country, and is aggressively pursuing additional property acquisition opportunities while continuing to build value within the current portfolio of exploration licenses.
