Equipment Purchase and flotation plant upgrade
Anglo Asian Mining PLC ("Anglo Asian" or the "Company"), the AIM
listed gold, copper and silver producer focused in Azerbaijan, is
pleased to announce it has placed orders for the major items of
equipment required for production from its new Zafar and Gilar
mines. The Company has also made progress with the upgrades to its
Gedabek flotation plant.
Zafar and Gilar
The equipment includes an underground fleet from Caterpillar and
drilling machinery from Epiroc. The total equipment cost is
approximately $10 million, approximately 40 per cent. of which will
be met from the Company's existing cash reserves with the remaining
being financed through vendor financing. The equipment is a
significant investment for the Company, underpinning its confidence
to achieve its stated ambition to transition to mid-tier copper
production status. The equipment ordered is set out below in
Appendix One.
Gedabek flotation plant upgrade
As previously stated, an expansion of the flotation plant is
underway together with adding a further line to produce zinc
concentrate. The total cost of the expansion is currently estimated
at $3 million which will be paid from the Company's existing cash
resources. Contractors have been appointed to supply materials for
the new flotation line. Additional contractors will be commissioned
to modify the existing building and provide electrical services and
control equipment. The modifications to the flotation plant to
increase its capacity have now been broadly completed. The
installation of the new flotation line using hydraulic flotation
cells will be completed by the end of the year.
Stephen Westhead, Vice-President of Anglo Asian, commented: "The
new equipment will be used to expand the Company's mining and
processing operations with the development of two new underground
mines this year. The expansion of our flotation plant has been
broadly completed, doubling capacity and creating additional
processing flexibility. This represents an important step in our
medium-term growth ambition to become a mid-tier production miner,
and significantly increases our capabilities within copper."

per cent.
On 5 July 2022, the Parliament of Azerbaijan ratified amendments

legal title to three additional concessions with a combined area of

of
copper. https://www.angloasianmining.com/
