Anglo Asian Mining PLC has signed a protocol with the Government of Azerbaijan to implement enhancements to its operations and procedures based on the recommendations of an environmental audit conducted by Micon International Ltd. The majority of the measures outlined in the action plan will be implemented by the end of next year, and none of them will require significant expenditure from the company. As a result of signing the protocol and agreeing to the action plan, Anglo Asian Mining is now able to resume all of its operations. The restart will be carried out in stages, with mining recommencing immediately. The company's heap leach operations continued during the recent partial shutdown, but without the addition of ore. The restart of mining will allow fresh ore to be placed on the heaps, enabling the production of gold doré and copper concentrate to return to previous levels. The flotation plant will restart approximately 90 days before the existing tailings dam wall is raised further. The company plans to accelerate the development of the Gilar mine, which is expected to begin operation in the first half of 2024. Agitation leaching will restart once the tailings dam wall raise is completed and high-grade ore is available from the Gilar mine. Anglo Asian Mining is actively collaborating with the government to implement any additional measures required in response to the Micon environmental report. The company maintains its full-year 2023 production guidance of 30,000 to 34,000 gold equivalent ounces.
