TORONTO, June 1 /CNW/ - Eurasia Gold Inc. ("Eurasia") (TSX: EGX - News) announces that Kazakhmys Gold Inc. (the "Offeror") and Kazakhmys PLC ("Kazakhmys") have rejected the request by the Board of Directors of Eurasia (the "Board") that the unsolicited all-cash offer of $0.85 per Eurasia Ordinary Share from the Offeror for all outstanding Ordinary Shares of Eurasia effective on May 15, 2007 (the "Offer") be increased to better reflect the Board's opinion of the value of the Eurasia Ordinary Shares. After receiving the opinion of the Special Committee on May 28, 2007, the Board authorized the Special Committee and its Advisors to continue the meetings and discussions with Kazakhmys and its advisors referred to in the Directors' Circular mailed to Eurasia shareholders on May 30, 2007.
