                                            Evangelos Kechayans,President/CEO







As of October 19, 2001 European  American  Resources,  Inc. has  appointed  Evan
Kechayans, as the Company's President and CEO. This change was mostly predicated
on the need of the Company to alleviate  large  contractual  salary  obligations
while at the same time retain a qualified  individual  to further the  Company's
business and goals. Accordingly, the company's executive address is also changed
to the company headquarters in Eureka, Nevada.

Former  President  and CEO, Mr. Mark  Beloyan has signed an amicable  separation
agreement with the Company and remains on its Board of Directors.

Mr. Kechayans has served on the Board of the Company for over three years and is
very familiar with the developments of the Company and its mission.  The Company
did not enter into an employment  agreement with Mr.  Kechayans at this time but
reserves the right to do so in the future, provided the Company has accomplished
any one of its objectives to financially stabilize the Company, move its current
joint venture forward, or pursue other options open to the Company at this time.
