Forecast: in 12 months, the EUA share price could be…

When exploring the world of young London-listed mining stocks, the Eurasia Mining (LSE:EUA) share price has been grabbing quite a bit of attention in 2025. Year to date, the stock’s surged by almost 90%. And zooming out to the last 12 months, the performance becomes even more impressive with a near-210% gain.

While the stock’s still nowhere near trading at its peak 2020 levels, enjoying a triple-digit gain in such a short space of time is understandably exciting. So should investors be considering this small-cap growth stock for their portfolios today? And where might the share price be in the next 12 months?

Investigating gains

With the stock more than tripling over the last 12 months, surely management’s been able to deliver some impressive operational progress, right? Well, no. Despite what the EUA share price would suggest, the company hasnât really made any tangible progress.

Its revenue stream remains almost negligible, earnings are still in the red, and the company’s still struggling to sell off its Russian mining assets, including its West Kytlim gold mine, its Monchetundra mining licenses, the NKT project, and its entitlements to the Nyud projects.

However, itâs the asset sales that seem to have gotten investor attention. With the potential for a massive buyout, investors have been speculating that a deal could soon emerge. And subsequently, one institutional analyst currently has a 70p price target for the share price by this time next year.

Part of this speculation’s driven by the expectation of peace negotiations in Ukraine that would allow Russiaâs economy to recover. But itâs also linked to the strengthening of the Russian ruble in recent months. After all, this increase in spending power makes acquisitions cheaper for Russian companies.

So is Eurasia Mining about to find a buyer, giving shareholders a large payday? Thereâs no concrete evidence of this happening. All of the impressive gains seen to date arenât driven by the firmâs underlying fundamentals, but rather speculation. As such, investors can likely expect extreme volatility moving forward. In fact, anyone who hopped on the bandwagon in March is already down over 40%.

Is there hope for Eurasiaâs business?

With the core of its mining assets held in Russia, Eurasia isnât in an ideal operating position. Nevertheless, management’s seemingly taking steps to pivot the business. The divestment strategy, if successful, will provide ample funding to build out a new mining portfolio and get things back on track.

In the meantime, Eurasia’s recently raised Â£3.15m through a private placement, supporting the firmâs upcoming dual listing on Astana International Exchange as well as the London Stock Exchange. This opens up a new pool of investment capital for management to leverage.

If the company can raise sufficient capital and find a buyer for its Russian assets, the EUA share price could have plenty of room for growth from todayâs prices. However, even in this scenario, it will be a long road before the company will have robust fundamentals to support a stable valuation. In other words, this is an exceptionally high-risk investment right now, even with the seemingly explosive return potential over the next 12 months.

As such, itâs a stock Iâm steering clear of.
