Registration Statement on Form F-4
 
General

1.

We note your statement on page 57 that “Eurasian will use its reasonable efforts to cause, prior to the effective time of the merger, the Eurasian common shares issuable pursuant to the merger agreement to be conditionally approved for listing by the TSX-V and to be approved for listing on the NYSE Amex, subject to official notice of issuance.” We also note your statements that the Eurasian common shares currently trade on the TSX Venture Exchange and on the NYSE Amex and that following the merger Eurasian common shares will continue to trade on the TSX Venture Exchange and on the NYSE Amex. Please advise us of the meaning of your statement on page 57 when it appears that your shares are already trading on the TSX Venture Exchange and on the NYSE Amex. We may have further comment.

Notwithstanding the fact that Eurasian common stock is currently listed on both the TSX Venture Exchange and the NYSE Amex, each of these exchanges also require that shares to be issued in a transaction such as the merger contemplated between Eurasian and Bullion also be specifically approved for listing on the respective exchange following issuance. As such, it is customary in a transaction such as the merger to include a covenant and closing condition of the acquiring party that it seek to cause the shares to be issued in the transaction to be listed on the respective exchange on which the acquiring party’s shares are generally listed. The statement on page 61 of the Proxy Statement/Prospectus describes this covenant on the part of Eurasian and is not inconsistent with the fact that Eurasian’s common stock is listed on the TSX Venture Exchange and the NYSE Amex or statements to that effect.

Outside Front Cover Page of the Proxy Statement/Prospectus

2.

Please revise here to state the expected amount of securities being registered as part of the transaction. See Item 501(b)(2) of Regulation S-K.

In response to the Staff’s comment, the disclosure on the front cover has been revised to include the expected number of securities to be issued.

3.

We note the reference to the value of the stock consideration not being determined at the time of the shareholder vote. Please revise to indicate the per share value of such consideration on the last trading day preceding the date of the merger agreement and on the date you intend to mail the proxy statement/prospectus. Please also revise to quantify the aggregate consideration on such dates.

In response to the Staff’s comment, the disclosure on the front cover has been revised to include the per share and aggregate consideration on the day preceding the date of the merger agreement and the date as close as practicable to the mailing date in order to allow time for printing and mailing.

4.

Please highlight the cross-reference to the risk factors section of the proxy statement/prospectus by use of prominent type or in another manner. See Item 501(b)(5) of Regulation S-K.

Summary, page 8

We note the statement under Information about the Companies on page eight that Eurasian “continued into British Columbia from Alberta” here and on pages 76, 77 and 143. Please revise as appropriate to clarify the meaning and implications of such action.

In response to the Staff’s comment, the disclosure on page 8 and 80 has been revised to clarify the meaning of the continuation.

Please revise this section to include a separate risk factor discussing the risks arising from Eurasian’s lack of revenues and the absence of any known commercial ore deposit on any of Eurasian’s properties.

In response to the Staff’s comment, the disclosure on page 24 has been expanded to add the risk factor with the heading “Lack of Revenues”.

You may have difficulty bringing suit and enforcing judgments against Eurasian, page 22

12.

We note your inclusion of this risk and your disclosure under “Governing Law” on page 71. Please consider including disclosure similar to the information required by Rule 101(g) of Regulation S-K so investors may more clearly understand any risks associated with effecting service of process or taking related actions.

In response to the Staff’s comment, the disclosure in the Summary has been expanded to include disclosure under the heading “Enforceability of Civil Liabilities Against Foreign Persons”.

Cautionary Statement Regarding Forward-Looking Statements, page 29

13.

Please revise your statement that “Neither Eurasian nor Bullion undertakes any obligation to revise forward-looking statements to reflect future events, changes in circumstances, or changes in beliefs” in light of the undertakings required by Item 512 of Regulation S-K found in Part II of the registration statement.

In response to the Staff’s comment, the disclosure on page 31 has been revised as requested.

Proposal One—The Merger, page 34
Background of the Merger, page 34

14.

We note numerous references, starting at the bottom of page 35 and continuing to page 37, to Bullion’s management updating Bullion’s board of directors on the discussions between the parties, the progress of due diligence efforts and changes in the terms of the potential transaction. Please revise to provide more fulsome disclosure on the material matters discussed in these updates. For example, describe any material terms of the transaction or issues arising out of the due diligence that were discussed.



Mr. John Reynolds, p. 5
May 11, 2012

In response to the Staff’s comment, the disclosure beginning on page 36 has been revised to expand the disclosure regarding the matters discussed at meetings of the Bullion board of directors.

15.

We note your disclosure on page 36 that, on November 14, 2011, the companies executed a non- binding letter of intent in which Eurasian agreed to what became the final per share merger consideration. Please revise to provide additional detail on how the parties arrived at their agreement on the merger consideration.

In response to the Staff’s comment, the disclosure on page 38 has been expanded.

16.

Please revise your discussion on page 36, or elsewhere as appropriate, to describe in greater detail the method of selecting Mr. Semeniuk as financial advisor to Bullion’s board of directors and to briefly describe the qualifications of Mr. Semeniuk considered by the board of directors in making such a selection. See Item 4(b) of Form F-4, which references Item 1015(b)(2) and (3) of Regulation M-A.

In response to the Staff’s comment, the disclosure on page 38 has been revised to describe the actions taken by Bullion in connection with the engagement of Mr. Semeniuk as financial advisor and the qualifications of Semeniuk considered by the Bullion board of directors.

Eurasian’s Reasons for the Merger, page 40

17.

Please revise to define the terms “brownfield” and “greenfield” as used in the fourth bullet point in this section. Please also revise your disclosure elsewhere as appropriate to describe Bullion’s experience in brownfield exploration and the material significance of exposure to that area for Eurasian.

In response to the Staff’s comment, the disclosure on page 43 has been revised to remove references to “brownfield” and “greenfield”.

Opinion of Bullion’s Financial Advisor, page 41

18.

We note that Mr. Semeniuk considered, among other things, the fact that Bullion shares are classified as a penny stock under U.S. regulations. It appears that Eurasian shares would also be classified as a penny stock under such regulations. Please revise to describe what consideration, if any, Mr. Semeniuk gave to Eurasian’s stock being considered a penny stock under U.S. regulations.

Eurasian’s common stock has been listed on the NYSE Amex since January 30, 2012, and therefore the Eurasian common stock meets the definition of NMS Stock (as defined in Rule 600(b)(47)). The NYSE Amex is a national securities exchange registered with the Commission under Section 6(a) of the Exchange Act and, to the best of Eurasian’s knowledge, meets the additional requirements related to a national securities exchange contained in Rule 3a51-1(a). Accordingly, Eurasian’s common stock is excluded from the definition of penny stock. As such, Eurasian does not believe that additional disclosure would be appropriate or helpful to Eurasian or Bullion shareholders.

19.

Please revise to describe any material relationship that existed during the past two years or is mutually understood to be contemplated and any compensation received or to be received as a result of the relationship between Mr. Semeniuk, his affiliates and/or unaffiliated representatives and Bullion or its affiliates. See Item 4(b) of Form F-4, which references Item 1015(b)(4) of Regulation M-A.



Mr. John Reynolds, p. 6
May 11, 2012

In response to the Staff’s comment, the disclosure on page 46 has been revised as requested.

20.

We note your statement that Semeniuk’s opinion was provided for the “exclusive use” of Bullion’s board of directors. Please reconcile this statement with Mr. Semeniuk’s statement in the last paragraph on page D-21 that the fairness opinion is provided for the exclusive use of the Board of Directors of Bullion “and to the security holders of Bullion.”

The reference to the use of the opinion by the security holders of Bullion was not intended to be included in the fairness opinion. Additionally, in reference to Staff comment 89, Mr. Semeniuk intended to refer to Eurasian’s ability to obtain capital from their business transactions, usually in the form of cost recoveries. As a result, Mr. Semeniuk has reissued his opinion clarifying these changes. The reissued fairness opinion is attached as Annex D to the Proxy Statement/Prospectus.

21.

We note that Semeniuk analyzed the fairness of the merger consideration based on the premium offered to Bullion shareholders by the merger consideration over the current historic trading price of Bullion common stock, the estimated future value to Bullion of the Carlin Trend Royalty, and the potential benefit of the merger to Bullion by considering the impact of Eurasian using its cash position to make an imagined private placement into Bullion. Please revise to describe in greater detail each of the material analyses performed underlying the fairness opinion.

In response to the Staff’s comment, the disclosure on page 43 has been revised to describe in greater detail the analyses performed by Mr. Semeniuk in connection with rendering his opinion.

Interests of Certain Persons in the Merger, page 43

22.

Please revise this section to provide the table regarding golden parachute compensation in the format set forth in Item 402(t) of Regulation S-K.

In response to the Staff’s comment, the disclosure on page 47 has been revised to conform the table to the format set forth in Item 402(t) of Regulation S-K.

Certain Material United States Federal Income Tax Consequences …, page 44

23.

We note that you have not filed Exhibits 8.1, 8.2 and 8.3. Please note that we may have further comments on this section upon reviewing those exhibits.

The Staff’s comment is duly noted. Exhibits 8.1, 8.2 and 8.3 have been filed.

Accounting Treatment, page 57

24.

We note your disclosure on page ten and 57 that Eurasian will account for the merger using the acquisition method of accounting for business combinations under U.S. GAAP. We further note on page 136 that the acquisition reflected in the pro forma financial statements was prepared using the acquisition method of accounting in accordance with ASC 805 under U.S. GAAP. Please confirm our understanding that Eurasian’s financial statements going forward will be prepared under IFRS and that you will account for the acquisition under IFRS 3 and, if so, revise to clarify this in your pro forma presentation. Also revise to indicate whether there will be any differences in accounting between IFRS 3 and your pro forma presentation under ASC 805 and, if so, describe and quantify any such differences in your disclosure.



Mr. John Reynolds, p. 7
May 11, 2012

Going forward Eurasian’s financial statements will be prepared under IFRS and the acquisition of Bullion will be accounted for in accordance with IFRS 3. Additional note disclosure discussing ASC 805 Business Combinations and IFRS 3 Business Combinations has been included in the pro forma presentation. See the revised disclosure on page 61.

The Agreement and Plan of Merger, page 59

25.

We note your statements in this section that the terms and information of the merger agreement are included “not to provide any other factual information regarding Eurasian, Bullion or their respective businesses … Investors are not third-party beneficiaries under the merger agreement and should not rely on the representations, warranties and covenants ….” Please note that disclosure regarding an agreement’s representations, warranties or covenants in a proxy statement/prospectus (whether through incorporation by reference or direct inclusion) constitutes a disclosure to investors, on which they are entitled to rely. Please refer to Report of Investigation Pursuant to Section 21(a) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 and Commission Statement on potential Exchange Act Section 10(b) and Section 14(a) liability, Exchange Act Release No. 51283 (Mar. 1, 2005). Accordingly, if you continue to use these statements in your proxy statement/prospectus, please revise them to remove any implication that the merger agreement does not constitute disclosure under the federal securities laws and to clarify that you will provide additional disclosure in your public reports to the extent that you are or become aware of the existence of any material facts that are required to be disclosed under federal securities law and that might otherwise contradict the representations and warranties contained in the agreement and will update such disclosure as required by federal securities laws.

In response to the Staff’s comment, the disclosure on page 63 has been revised.

Eurasian’s Business, page 77

26.

Please revise your discussion to provide more detailed disclosure of the material effects of government regulations on Eurasian’s business in the various countries in which Eurasian operates, identifying the relevant regulatory bodies. We note also the references in your risk factor discussions on pages 24 and 26 to various regulations that are not fully discussed elsewhere in your prospectus.

In response to the Staff’s comment, the disclosure on page 85 has been expanded with respect to government regulation. However, as Eurasian has numerous early stage projects in multiple jurisdictions, the disclosure is focused on Eurasian’s most advanced projects.

Inter-corporate Relationships, page 77

27.

Please revise the flow chart on page 77 to improve its legibility. In this regard we note that it is difficult to read the names and country of incorporation or residence of some of the subsidiaries.

In response to the Staff’s comment, the flow chart on page 81 has been replaced for improved legibility.

General Development of Eurasian’s Business, page 77
Three Year History, page 78

28.

Please revise your disclosure in the second paragraph of this section to define “NSR royalty.”



Mr. John Reynolds, p. 8
May 11, 2012

In response to the Staff’s comment, the disclosure on page 82 has been revised to include an explanation of a NSR.

Description of Eurasian’s Business, page 80
Intangible Property, page 80

29.

We note your disclosure in this section regarding Eurasian’s lack of need for or use of licenses and other intellectual property. Please reconcile this disclosure with your disclosure regarding your exploration licenses, exploitation licenses and your disclosure on page 79 that one of the “main assets” you acquired as part of your purchase of a subsidiary of Freeport-McMoRan Copper & Gold Inc. was a comprehensive exploration database of Sweden.

In response to the Staff’s comment, the disclosure on page 85 has been revised.

Economic Dependence, page 81

30.

We note your statement that Eurasian’s business is not substantially dependent on any contract. It appears from your disclosure elsewhere that you substantially rely on your relationships with third parties for exploration and future production activities that will result in any future revenues. Please reconcile your disclosure in this section in light of such relationships or advise us of why you believe such disclosure is unnecessary.

In response to the Staff’s comment, the disclosure on page 85 has been revised to explain why Eurasian believes it is not substantially dependent on any one contract.

Environmental Protection, page 81

31.

Please revise this section or elsewhere as appropriate to provide more detailed disclosure of the environmental regulations affecting Eurasian’s business in the countries in which it operates.

In response to the Staff’s comment, the disclosure on page 85 has been revised.

Foreign Operations, page 81

32.

Please revise this section to identify the properties located in “areas traditionally considered to be risky from a political or economic perspective.”

In response to the Staff’s comment, the disclosure on page 86 has been revised to highlight the increased risks of Haiti and Kyrgyzstan.

Mineral Properties, page 82
Turkey, page 82

33.

We note your reference to the Aktutan property in the introductory paragraph of this section, which appears to be the only reference to this property in your description of Eurasian’s Business. Please revise to discuss the material aspects of your business relating to this property in the appropriate location.



Mr. John Reynolds, p. 9
May 11, 2012

In response to the Staff’s comment, the disclosure on page 87 has been revised to remove references to Aktutan as it is not a material property.

34.

It is unclear why you do not describe the Golcuk property in the introductory paragraph of this section. In the interest of enhancing your disclosure, please revise this paragraph to provide a brief overview of all of your material property and royalty interests in Turkey.

In response to the Staff’s comment, the disclosure on page 88 has been revised.

35.

We note your disclosure in the paragraph under the map on page 83 that you are currently converting one of your exploration licenses into an exploitation license. Please revise your disclosure to briefly describe the process by which such a conversion is made in Turkey including the amount of time required to do so if material.

In response to the Staff’s comment, the disclosure on page 89 has been revised to indicate that the exploration license has been successfully converted into an exploitation license.

Golcuk Property, page 89

36.

We note your disclosure that the Golcuk property “reverted” to Eurasian’s ownership in 2008. It is unclear how Eurasian originally acquired this property and what occurred in the interim to result in the reversion. Please revise your disclosure to clarify.

In response to the Staff’s comment, the disclosure on page 94 has been revised to explain Eurasian’s acquisition of Golcuk from a private Turkish company, subsequent lease to Turmenka and Turmenka’s termination of the lease agreement.

Balya Royalty, page 89

37.

We note your statement in the second sentence of this section, which appears to suggest that you sold a 4% net smelter returns royalty to Dedeman in 2006. To the extent you intended to state that Eurasian sold the underlying property or some other interest in the land, please revise to clarify.

In response to the Staff’s comment, the disclosure on page 95 has been revised to clarify that the Balya property was sold to Dedeman in 2006 and that Eurasian retained a 4% royalty.

Haiti, page 90
Northwest Haiti Designated Project (including Vert de Gris prospect), page 90

38.

We note that here, under Exploration Properties starting on page 112, and under Pontal do Paranaita Property starting on page F-111, you report sample value ranges, assay values “greater than” or “up to”, and utilize parts per billion (ppb). When reporting the results of sampling and chemical analyses, please revise your disclosure to address each of the following regarding mineralization of existing or potential economic significance on your property:

  • Disclose only weighted-average sample analyses associated with a measured length or a substantial volume.

  • Eliminate all analyses from “grab” or “dump” samples, unless the sample is of a substantial and disclosed weight.


Mr. John Reynolds, p. 10
May 11, 2012

  • Eliminate all disclosure of the highest or best values/grades of sample sets. Present a balanced disclosure of the drill and sampling results

  • Eliminate grades disclosed as “up to” or “as high as” or “ranging from.”

  • Eliminate statements containing grade and/or sample-width ranges.

  • Aggregated sample values from related locations should be aggregated based on a weighted average of lengths of the samples.

  • Generally, use tables to improve readability of sample and drilling data.

  • Soil samples may be disclosed as a weighted average value over an area.

  • Refrain from reporting single soil sample values.

  • Convert all ppb quantities to ppm quantities for disclosure.

  • Avoid optimistic descriptive adjectives such as high-grade or ore-grade.

Please revise your disclosures to comply with this guidance. Please note the TSX Venture Exchange Corporate Finance Manual – Appendix 3F also addresses many of these same items.

This guidance also applies to the sections concerning both Akarca and Golcuk found on page nine of Exhibit 99.4 of Eurasian’s Form 40-FR filed January 24, 2012 and the Bom Jesus section found on page 28 and the Pontal do Paranaita Property found on page 32 of Bullion’s Form 10-K filed August 1, 2011.

In response to the Staff’s comment and as we discussed in our call with George Schuler of the Securities and Exchange Commission, the disclosure beginning on page 95 has been revised. Similar revisions were made in the Annual Information Form for the year ended December 31, 2011 which was filed with the Form 40-F annual report on April 27, 2012.

Government Negotiations and Mining Convention, page 91

39.

We note your statement that “[n]egotiations continue with the government of Haiti on the terms for a Mining Convention.” Please revise to clarify what role Eurasian has in such negotiations, if any.

In response to the Staff’s comment and to update the disclosure for recent developments, the disclosure on page 96 has been revised to clarify the roles of the parties.

40.

Please revise to clarify the meaning of “[d]rill-ready projects” as used in this section.

In response to the Staff’s comment, the disclosure has been revised and the phrase “drill-ready projects” is no longer used.

Bullion’s Business, page 102
General, page 103

41.

Please revise your disclosure in the first paragraph of this section to define “GSR royalty.”



Mr. John Reynolds, p. 11
May 11, 2012

In response to the Staff’s comment, the disclosure on page 108 has been revised to include an explanation of a GSR.

Regulations on the Business, page 105

42.

Please revise this section to also discuss material Brazilian regulations on Bullion’s business.

In response to the Staff’s comment, the disclosure on pages 112-113 has been revised to describe material Brazilian regulations governing Bullion’s business.

Real Properties and Facilities, page 106

43.

It is unclear why you have not disclosed the “Office Building” and “Business Building” referenced on page 17 of Bullion’s most recent Form 10-K here. Please revise to disclosure [sic] such properties.

The reason that these buildings were not disclosed in the Proxy Statement/Prospectus is because these properties were sold by Bullion between the date Bullion’s Form 10-K was filed and the date of the Proxy Statement/Prospectus. The Office Building, which was Bullion’s prior office location in Orem, Utah, was sold in the quarter ended July 31, 2011 and the sale reported in Bullion’s Form 10-Q for that period. The Business Building, which was the office facility of Bullion’s EnShale subsidiary in Vernal, Utah, was sold during the quarter ended January 31, 2012 and the sale was reported in Bullion’s Form 10-Q for that period.

Exploration Properties, page 110

44.

It is unclear why you do not discuss Bullion’s Bom Jardim and Ouro Mil properties here despite your references to such properties as “primary exploration projects” in the second paragraph of page 103 and your discussion of Bom Jardim related expenditures under Plan of Operation on page 127. Also, please provide more fulsome disclosure of the material aspects of the Pontal do Paranaia, Caldeiras and Ophir properties.

These properties are not material properties of Bullion. As such, references to these properties have been removed.

45.

Please revise the maps on pages 112 and 113 to improve their legibility.

In response to the Staff’s comment, the map on page 119 has been revised. The map formerly on page 113 has been removed because it relates to a property that is not material to the business of Bullion.

Eurasian Management’s Discussion and Analysis, page 121
Results of Operations, page 121

Comparison of Six Months Ended September 30, 2011 and September 30, 2010, page 121

46.

We note that your discussion of the factors resulting in the increase of net loss in this section only account for approximately half of such increase. Please revise to provide additional disclosure of any other significant factors materially contributing to Eurasian’s increased net loss from period to period.



Mr. John Reynolds, p. 12
May 11, 2012

In response to the Staff’s comment, the disclosure has been updated and expanded in the MD&A for the annual audited financial statements for the periods ended December 31, 2011 and March 31, 2011.

Year Ended March 31, 2011 Compared to the Year Ended March 31, 2010, page 122

47.

Please revise the parenthetical in the first sentence of this section to indicate, if true, that it refers to Canadian dollars.

In response to the Staff’s comment, the disclosure in the MD&A for the annual audited financial statements for the periods ended December 31, 2011 and March 31, 2011 reflects the Canadian dollar presentation.

48.

We note that your discussion of the factors resulting in the increase of net loss in this section only account for around 60 percent of such increase. Please revise to provide additional disclosure of any other significant factors materially contributing to Eurasian’s increased net loss from period to period.

In response to the Staff’s comment, the disclosure has been expanded to discuss the increase in net loss in more detail in the MD&A for the annual audited financial statements for the periods ended December 31, 2011 and March 31, 2011.

Financial Condition, Liquidity and Capital Resources, page 123

49.

Please revise your discussion by providing an evaluation of sources and amounts of your cash flows for all periods presented, and information regarding any material commitments for capital expenditures as of the end of the latest year end and subsequent interim period, including an indication of the general purpose of such commitments and the anticipated sources of funds needed to fulfill such commitments. Also revise Bullion’s discussion of liquidity and capital resources on page 129 accordingly. Refer to Item 5.B. of Form 20-F.

In response to the Staff’s comment, the disclosure on page 129 been revised.

Critical Accounting Estimates, page 123

50.

We note that you present your annual financial statements for the years ended March 31, 2011, 2010 and 2009 under Canadian GAAP (page F-3) and your interim financial statements for the six months ended and as of September 30, 2011 under IFRS (page F-55). However your discussion of critical accounting estimates does not inform readers whether it is based on Canadian GAAP or IFRS. Please revise to distinguish any differences between your critical accounting estimates under Canadian GAAP or IFRS, as necessary. Also revise to provide separate critical accounting policies and estimates disclosure for the financial statements of Bullion that are prepared under U.S. GAAP. Refer to Section V of SEC Release 33-8350 for additional information.



Mr. John Reynolds, p. 13
May 11, 2012

In response to the Staff’s comment, the disclosure on page 130 with respect to Eurasian has been revised to confirm that the critical accounting estimates relate to the IFRS annual audited financial statements for the period ended December 31, 2011 and March 31, 2011. No Canadian GAAP financial statements are included with the filing.

In response to the Staff’s comment, the disclosure on page 138 with respect to Bullion has been revised to include a summary of Bullion’s critical accounting policies.

Bullion Management’s Discussion and Analysis, page 127

51.

You discuss on page D-13 the fact that there is an uncertainty as to whether the Carlin royalty will continue at current levels. Please revise to provide disclosure of this uncertainty pursuant to Item 5.D of Form 20-F or explain to us why you believe that such disclosure is not required.

In response to the Staff’s comment, the disclosure on page 134 has been revised to further describe the uncertainty regarding the continuance of the Carlin Trend royalty.

Please revise to clearly disclose whether the assets and liabilities in the Bullion purchase price allocation are based on their estimated fair value or carrying value. To the extent that the assets and liabilities are based on their carrying value, explain to us why this is appropriate under U.S. GAAP.

67.

We note that the value of the Eurasian common shares was calculated based on the deemed issuance of 17,583,640 Eurasian common shares at $2.53 per share, which was the closing price of Eurasian common shares on the February 7, 2012 merger agreement date. We further note your disclosure that the purchase price will fluctuate with the market price of Eurasian’s common stock until the acquisition is completed. Please update the price per share used to calculate the estimated value of Eurasian’s common stock deemed to be issued.

Acquisition of Bullion Monarch Mining Inc, page 136


68.

We note the $35.0 million total value assigned to mineral properties, and that the $31.1 million adjustment reflects the fair value increment for mineral property interests held by Bullion generating royalty income. Please identify for us all of Bullion’s mineral property interests that are generating royalty income and separately quantify for us the fair value of the Carlin royalty that is reflected in your purchase price allocation. Also reconcile the fair value assigned to Carlin to the estimated value of the Carlin royalty cash flow stream in the range of $42 million to $52 million (page D-19), and explain to us what the difference represents.

Information on D-19 was prepared by Bullion’s financial advisor to demonstrate whether the proposed transaction is fair to the Bullion’s shareholder (i.e., consideration to be received in the merger). Assumptions used for the pro forma financial statements were determined by Eurasian management to value the proposed transaction. We believe that information on D-19 and the assumptions used in the preparation of the pro forma financial statements could be materially different.

The value of all properties generating royalty interest other than Carlin are de minimus in amount and have not been assigned any of the value.

We note your disclosure that the recorded costs of mineral properties are subject to measurement uncertainty and it is reasonably possible, based on existing knowledge that a change in future conditions could require a material change in the recognized amount. Please further explain this statement to us and tell us whether there are any known indications of impairment.

Management is knowledgeable of and aware of the requirements to monitor for certain conditions that may arise in the future that may create the requirement for the Company to consider the value of an exploration and evaluation asset and/or potential impairment.

Possible conditions may include:

  • Loss of ownership and/or access to a project;
  • Political or economic instability which may result in the impairment or loss of mineral concessions or other mineral rights;
  • Opposition from environmental and/or other non-governmental organizations;
  • A lack of assurance that additional funding will be available to Eurasian for further exploration and development of its projects; and
  • A lack of assurance that a profitable market will exist for a production decision to be made or for the ultimate sale of the metals even if commercial quantities of precious and other metals are discovered on any of Eurasian’s properties.

As at December 31, 2011, Eurasian assessed the potential future conditions that could require a material change in the valuation of exploration and evaluation assets and determined there were no known indications of impairment.

Bullion Monarch Mining, Inc. and Subsidiaries

Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements, page F-99

Note 2. Acquisition of Dourave Canada, page F-104

85.

We note that Bullion issued 5,000,000 shares of common stock and warrants to purchase up to 2,500,000 shares of its common stock at an exercise price equal to $1.20 per share as total consideration for all of the capital shares of Dourave Canada acquired on April 1, 2011. We further note the total consideration of $3,220,000 for this acquisition. Please tell us how you determined the fair value of the consideration under ASC 805-30-30-7, including your consideration of the price of Bullion’s common stock on the April 1, 2011 acquisition date.

On April 1, 2011, shareholders holding approximately 81.37% of the outstanding capital shares of Dourave Canada entered into a revised Stock Purchase Agreement with Bullion solely to remove Dourave Canada as a party to the previously announced Stock Purchase Agreement, and holders of the remaining capital stock of Dourave Canada individually entered into separate Stock Purchase Agreements referred to as the Minority Purchase Agreements, whereby Bullion purchased all remaining outstanding capital shares of Dourave Canada. Collectively the agreements are referred to as the Purchase Agreements. Pursuant to the Purchase Agreements, Bullion acquired the outstanding capital shares of Dourave Canada and issued 5,000,000 shares of Bullion’s common stock and warrants to purchase up to 2,500,000 shares of its common stock at an exercise price equal to $1.20 per share as total consideration for all of the capital shares of Dourave Canada. In connection with the purchase of the capital shares of Dourave Canada, Bullion also assumed the obligation of Dourave Canada to issue up to 281,410 shares of common stock under outstanding warrants to purchase capital shares of Dourave Canada at an exercise price equal to $4.78 per share.

Bullion determined the fair value of the consideration paid for the capital shares of Dourave Canada under ASC 805-30-30-7 by applying specific discounts to the trading value of Bullion’s common stock, which closed at $1.52 per share on April 1, 2011. For purposes of the Dourave Canada transaction, Bullion applied discounts for lack of marketability and trading restrictions, thinly traded stock and lack of control, as more fully described below.


Mr. John Reynolds, p. 21
May 11, 2012

Lack of Marketability
The Bullion common stock and warrants issued as part of the transaction were not registered in the United States pursuant to registration exemptions under Regulation D and Regulation S promulgated under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended. The securities were also not registered in any foreign jurisdictions. As such, the securities are subject to trading restrictions pursuant to applicable securities laws. In addition, the securities issued to holders of 81.37% of the Dourave Canada shares are subject to negotiated trading and vesting restrictions. At the time of issuance, the holders of the stock and warrants had no ability to trade the securities. Based on the foregoing facts, Bullion applied an approximate 40% lack of marketability and trading restriction discount to the Bullion stock price on April 1, 2011.

Thinly Traded
The signing of the letter of intent to acquire Dourave Canada was announced on November 3, 2010. With the exception of a very few select number of days, Bullion’s common stock is very thinly traded. As a result of being thinly traded, speculators were able to influence the price of the stock between November 2, 2010 and March 2, 2011 when the transaction was finally announced. Due to the thinly traded nature of Bullion’s common stock and because the stock price has experienced what appeared to be a temporary increase associated with the announcement and consummation of the Dourave Canada transaction, Bullion determined that an approximate 15% thinly traded discount was in order.

Lack of Control
The Dourave shareholders did not obtain voting control of Bullion as a result of this transaction. Therefore, an approximate 5% lack of control discount was applied to the Bullion stock price.

Application of Discount
Applying the 60% discount (rounded—actual rate is 60.26%) to the $1.52 trading price on April 1, 2011 resulted in an assigned market value of $0.604 per share or a total dollar value of $3,020,000 in the transaction. In addition, the warrants to purchase an aggregate 2,500,000 shares of Bullion’s common stock were valued using the Black-Scholes Option pricing model at $0.08 per share, based on the following assumptions: 730 days, 30% volatility, and a 2% risk free interest rate, making the total value of the warrants $200,000. Applying the discounts and applicable Black-Scholes Option warrant pricing, the fair value of the consideration in the acquisition was determined to be $3,220,000. Management has also concluded that the obligation to issue up to 281,410 shares of Bullion’s common stock under outstanding warrants to purchase capital shares of Dourave Canada at an exercise price equal to $4.78 per share had a fair value that was de minimis.

90.

We note your disclosure in this section concerning the Resolution Property and your Copper Basin property in which you reference mines and/or other mineral properties that exist in the proximity of your properties. Such disclosure may cause investors to infer that your property also has commercial mineralization, because of the proximity to these mines and exploration properties. Please describe only geology, history, or exploration results that are directly related to the properties that your company has the right to explore or mine. Accordingly, we believe that you should remove information about any mines, prospects, adjacent or analogous properties, deposits, occurrences, or exploration activities by other companies operating in or near your properties and instead focus the filing disclosure solely on your company’s property. In addition, please remove all references to the quantity and quality of resources and /or reserves found on properties not controlled by your company.
