Q3 2025 Production and Operations Review
Two new mines entered production during 2025
Record quarterly copper production in Q3 2025 of 2,287 tonnes
Anglo Asian Mining plc ("Anglo Asian", the Group or the "Company"), the AIM listed gold, copper and silver producer focused in Azerbaijan, is pleased to provide the following production, sales and operational review for the three months to 30 September 2025 ("Q3 2025"or the "Quarter") and nine months to 30 September 2025 ("9M 2025").
Due to the increasing proportion of copper in the Group's production in accordance with its growth strategy, the Group will no longer report total production in gold equivalent ounces. Production of copper and gold will continue to be separately reported.
Record quarterly copper production in Q3 2025
· Copper production in Q3 2025 increased by approximately 250 per cent. compared to Q2 2025 due to the first production from Demirli and a full quarter of production from Gilar
o Copper production of 2,287 tonnes (Q2 2025: 654 tonnes)
§ 1,576 tonnes from Gedabek (Q2 2025: 654 tonnes)
§ 711 tonnes from Demirli (Q2 2025: nil)
· Gold and silver Q3 2025 production also benefitted substantially by production from the Gilar mine
o Gold production of 6,798 ounces (Q3 2024: 2,956 ounces)
o Silver production of 41,605 ounces (Q3 2024: 3,315 ounces)
· Substantial increase in production in Q3 2025 enhances 9M 2025 production
o Copper production of 3,475 tonnes (9M 2024: 111 tonnes)
o Gold production of 18,912 ounces (9M 2024: 7,660 ounces)
o Silver production of 103,959 ounces (9M 2024: 16,061 ounces)
Key developments in Q3 2025 across the Company's portfolio
· First full quarter of continuous production from the Gilar mine
o 239,120 tonnes of ore grading 2.34 per cent. copper and 1.65 grammes per tonne of gold produced, including:
o 71,188 tonnes of ore grading 3.8 per cent. copper and 2.0 grammes per tonne of gold stockpiled at end of September for future processing
· Demirli commenced production in Q3 2025, significantly enhancing the Company's copper output as part of the strategic shift towards copper
o 4,548 dmt tonnes of copper concentrate produced containing 711 tonnes of copper
o Demirli ball mill now in operation in addition to the SAG mill
· Upgrades of the Gedabek flotation plant underway to process higher grade ores and increase operational efficiency, with the second filter press now installed
Revised full year 2025 guidance issued
· Revised full year guidance released 9 October 2025, reflecting the impact of bringing Demirli into production during the year. The Company expects:
o Copper production of 8,100 to 9,000 tonnes
o Gold production of 25,000 to 28,000 ounces
9M 2025 sales and cash update
· Total gold bullion sales of 14,962 ounces at an average of $3,200 per ounce (9M 2024: 9,220 ounces at an average of $2,287 per ounce)
· The Group continues to maintain a strong focus on cash and strict cost controls, with overall negative cash flow of only $1.2 million in the Quarter, increasing net debt to $14.2 million as at 30 September 2025 compared to $14.8 million at 31 December 2024
o Negative cash flow due to start-up capital expenditure and operating expenses at Demirli until concentrate sales can commence
· Inventory valued at $11.5 million at 30 September 2025 (30 June 2025: $7.0 million), reflecting unsold copper concentrate at Demirli
o Gedabek: $7.2 million (30 June 2025: $7.0 million)
o Demirli: $4.3 million (30 June 2025: nil)
Anglo Asian CEO Reza Vaziri commented:
"I am delighted to report our strong performance in the nine months to end September in this transformational year. The new Gilar and Demirli mines are both performing well, with very strong grades at Gilar in particular. Reflecting these two new assets being in production, we were delighted to deliver a record quarterly copper production of 2,287 tonnes, a milestone for Anglo Asian as we transition to a production profile of mostly copper."
