Eurasian Minerals Sells Geothermal Energy Assets in Slovakia and Peru

Eurasian Minerals Inc. (the "Company" or "EMX") (TSX VENTURE:EMX)(NYSE MKT:EMXX)
is pleased to announce the sale of its geothermal energy assets in Slovakia and
Peru to Starlight Geothermal Ltd. ("Starlight" or "SGL") for cash payments, an
equity position in SGL, and gross royalties from future geothermal energy
production. EMX initiated its geothermal program in 2010 to leverage the
synergies that exist between geologic environments favorable for mineral
exploration and those prospective for geothermal power development. The sale of
the geothermal portfolio is an example of EMX's execution of the prospect
generation business model resulting in further organic royalty property growth
for the Company.


EMX's Geothermal Portfolio and Terms of the Sale. EMX's geothermal energy
program focused on the acquisition and advancement of early-stage opportunities
with high geologic potential, and in markets with a favorable regulatory and
business environment. The program was led by industry expert James Koenig, the
founder and President of GeothermEx, Inc. (1973-1995), and a past Director of
both the Geothermal Resources Council and the International Geothermal
Association. Mr. Koenig's guidance, coupled with the Company's operational
expertise in regions around the world, provided EMX with unique commercial
opportunities and competitive advantages in establishing its portfolio of
geothermal properties.


EMX's initial acquisitions were in two of Slovakia's most promising regions for
geothermal power generation, which include the Ziar Basin of west-central
Slovakia and the Pannonian Basin in the southeastern corner of the country. The
Company's geothermal portfolio in Slovakia totaled five licenses covering
approximately 320 square kilometers. Slovakia's proactive stance towards
geothermal and renewable energy projects provides strong incentives for
developing the geothermal resource potential covered by these licenses. 


EMX also assessed opportunities in Latin America that led to the acquisition of
four geothermal licenses totaling 328 square kilometers in Peru, including the
Tambochaca, Pumahuiri, Sengata, and Coropuna projects. These licenses occur in
prospective regions of Peru's Western and Eastern Cordillera that include
geologically recent volcanism and occurrences of thermal springs and fumaroles.
Peru has recently taken significant steps towards developing "renewable energy"
resources that create a favorable business climate for both domestic and foreign
investors.


EMX's geothermal assets in Slovakia and Peru were sold to Starlight for an
upfront cash payment, an equity position consisting of approximately 5% of SGL's
issued and outstanding shares, annual advance minimum royalty payments until
production commences, and once production commences a 1% gross royalty on its
geothermal licenses in Slovakia and a 0.5% gross royalty on its geothermal
licenses in Peru. Starlight Geothermal Ltd. is a Delaware registered private
company that is focused on the advancement of geothermal energy resources
worldwide.


About EMX. Eurasian is a global gold and copper exploration company utilizing a
partnership business model to explore the world's most promising and
underexplored mineral belts. Eurasian generates wealth via grassroots prospect
generation, strategic acquisition and royalty growth.
