Gentlemen:

We have been requested by European American Resources, Inc. a Delaware
Corporation (the "Company"), to furnish you with our opinion as to the matters
hereinafter set forth in connection with the above-captioned registration
statement (the "Registration Statement") covering an aggregate of 194,900
shares of the Company's common stock, par value $.0001 per share (the "Common
Stock").  We have been advised by the Company that these shares are issued in
connection with the Consulting Agreement with International Mine Consultancy
Limited (the "Agreement").  

In connection with this opinion, we have examined such documents as we have
deemed necessary to enable us to render the opinion hereinafter expressed.

Based upon and subject to the foregoing, we are of the opinion that the shares
of common stock, when issued, will be legally authorized, fully paid and
non-assessable.

We render no opinion as to the laws of any jurisdiction other than the
internal laws of the State of New York and the internal corporate law of the
State of Delaware.

We hereby consent to the use of this opinion as an exhibit to the Registration
Statement.
                                        Very truly yours,

                                Registration Statement Form S-8  
Gentlemen:

We have been requested by European American Resources, Inc. a Delaware
Corporation (the "Company"), to furnish you with our opinion as to the matters
hereinafter set forth in connection with the above-captioned registration
statement (the "Registration Statement") covering an aggregate of 194,900
shares of the Company's common stock, par value $.0001 per share (the "Common
Stock").  We have been advised by the Company that these shares are issued in
connection with the Consulting Agreement with International Mine Consultancy
Limited (the "Agreement").  

In connection with this opinion, we have examined such documents as we have
deemed necessary to enable us to render the opinion hereinafter expressed.

Based upon and subject to the foregoing, we are of the opinion that the shares
of common stock, when issued, will be legally authorized, fully paid and
non-assessable.

We render no opinion as to the laws of any jurisdiction other than the
internal laws of the State of New York and the internal corporate law of the
State of Delaware.

We hereby consent to the use of this opinion as an exhibit to the Registration
Statement.
                                        Very truly yours,

                                        /s/ Simon S. Kogan
                                        Simon S. Kogan, Esq.
