Sale of the Aktutan Property in Turkey to Dedeman Madencilik

Vancouver, British Columbia, August 30, 2007 (TSX Venture: EMX) – Eurasian Minerals Inc. (the “Company” or “EMX”) and its wholly owned subsidiary Eurasia Madencilik Ltd. Sti is pleased to announce the sale of the Aktutan base and precious metals exploration property to Dedeman Madencilik San.Vetic.A.S. (hereinafter “Dedeman”). The property sale provides advance royalty payments to EMX, as well as a potential royalty stream from future production at Aktutan.

Discussion of the Aktutan Property

Aktutan is a base and precious metals vein target located in the Eastern Pontides mineral belt. EMX acquired the 4,160 hectare Aktutan exploration licenses via government auction in February 2004. The Company’s surface geologic mapping and geochemical sampling delineated a one kilometer long zone of mineralization, alteration, and silica veining.

EMX tested the vein system by core drilling a fence of four inclined core holes totaling 800.1 meters of sampling. These holes intersected the vein system at an approximate true thickness orientation. All four holes intersected silver-rich, base metal vein mineralization along approximately 750 meters of strike length. Hole AK-4 intersected two veins with high grade mineralization. These two intercepts returned:

 

• 2.0 meters (from 58.9 to 60.9 m) averaging 3.40% copper, 418 g/t silver, 0.06% molybdenum, 0.11% lead, 0.73% zinc, and 0.90 g/t gold, and
   
• 1.85 meters (from 78.20 to 80.05 m) averaging 4.20% copper, 472 g/t silver, 0.10% molybdenum, 3.16% lead, 1.45% zinc, and 0.98 g/t gold.

In addition to the primary vein zone, EMX identified parallel vein systems that have yet to be drill tested.

Overview of Commercial Terms

The terms of the sale of EMX’s Aktutan exploration license to Dedeman are summarized below:

 

• Dedeman will make a US$40,000 advance royalty payment to EMX prior to the first anniversary of the agreement, US$60,000 prior to the second anniversary and US$100,000 prior to the third anniversary and thereafter for as long as they hold the property.
   
• Dedeman will drill a minimum of 1000 meters during the first year of the agreement; spend US$150,000 on exploration and development in year two depending on results; and US$200,000 in year three, also depending on results.
   
• EMX is to retain a 4% uncapped net smelter royalty.
   
• EMX retains a reversionary right to re-acquire the property if Dedeman decides to relinquish the license.

The combination of advance royalty payments, work commitments, and retained net smelter royalties provides significant upside potential to EMX shareholders, while allowing the Company to focus on its precious metals and porphyry copper property portfolio.

EMX’s Growing Base Metal Royalty Portfolio

The sale of Aktutan represents the third royalty property transaction with Dedeman. The initial transaction with Dedeman centered on the Balya lead-zinc-silver property that is currently returning encouraging drill results (see Company news releases dated November 14, 2006 and August 24, 2007). Dedeman is a leading Turkish mining company, with nine active mines that produce lead, zinc, silver, and over four percent of the world’s chrome ore. EMX also retains royalty agreements on a portfolio of precious and base metal properties in Serbia
