Artem will start his role immediately and is expected to guide the firm during the sale process of its Russian assets. Artem is a high profile mergers and acquisitions specialist, having worked in the Energy and Natural Resources industry for 20 years.
He brings a wealth of experience to the company from previous M&A roles in companies such as Shell, where he was part of several development projects and later played a crucial role in Shell's incipient Energy transition initiative.
Eurasia Mining shares have fallen 67.15% this year. Most of the losses (58.9%) occurred in the past three months after Russia invaded Ukraine, which triggered the imposition of severe sanctions by Western countries on Russia.
Christian Schaffalitzky, Eurasia Mining’s Executive Chairman, commented: “The Directors are pleased that Artem Matyushok, a high profile M&A professional, has agreed to join Eurasia. The experience of Artem and his knowledge of Eurasia can significantly speed up our Russian assets sale process”.
The palladium, platinum, rhodium, iridium and gold mining company is looking to restructure its business by selling many of its Russian assets that have been affected by the sanctions. However, since most of Eurasia Mining's operations are located in Russia, how much of its operations will be left standing is unclear if it divests all of its Russian assets.
Luckily, the company has secured the services of Artem Matyushok, who is highly regarded in the M&A sector within the energy and natural resources industry, to spearhead the sale of its assets. Artem’s track record indicates that the company is in safe hands.
