Notes:
Anglo Asian Mining plc (AIM:AAZ) is a gold, copper and silver
producer in Central Asia with a broad portfolio of production and
exploration assets in Azerbaijan. The Company has a 1,962 square
kilometre portfolio, assembled from analysis of historic Soviet
geological data and held under a Production Sharing Agreement
modelled on the Azeri oil industry.
The Company developed Azerbaijan's first operating
gold/copper/silver mine, Gedabek, which commenced gold production
in May 2009. Gedabek is an open cast mine with a series of
interconnected pits. The Company also mines high grade ore from the
Gadir underground mine which is co-located at the Gedabek site. The
Company has a second underground mine, Gosha, which is 50
kilometres from Gedabek. Ore mined at Gosha is processed at Anglo
Asian's Gedabek plant.
Gold production for the year ended 31 December 2016 from Gedabek
totaled 65,394 ounces with 1,941 tonnes of copper also produced.
Gedabek is a polymetallic deposit and its ore has a high copper
content, and as a result the Company produces copper concentrate
from its Sulphidisation, Acidification, Recycling, and Thickening
(SART) plant. Anglo Asian also produces a copper and precious metal
concentrate from its flotation plant, which is processing tailings
from the agitation leach plant.
Anglo Asian is also actively seeking to exploit its first mover
advantage in Azerbaijan to identify additional projects, as well as
looking for other properties in order to fulfil its expansion
ambitions and become a mid-tier gold and copper metal production
company.
