Anglo Asian Mining PLC ("Anglo Asian" or the "Company"), the AIM listed gold,
copper and silver producer primarily focused on Azerbaijan, is pleased to
announce that its subsidiary, Azerbaijan International Mining Company
("AIMC"), has made a number of appointments to enhance its Senior Management
Team. This will increase the expertise within the Company and boost capacity
as Anglo Asian executes its medium-term growth strategy and becomes a
multi-asset, mid-tier producer.

 

The Company is delighted to announce that Dominic O'Hara has been appointed as
Director of Mining. Dominic is an experienced Mining Engineer and Manager,
having worked in open pit and underground copper and gold mining operations
for over 15 years across three continents. Prior to joining AIMC, Dominic
worked in the consulting sector, where he conducted a wide range of projects
from operational efficiency initiatives to in-depth technical studies, and
previously held senior roles with Glencore and AngloGold Ashanti. Dominic's
deep industry knowledge and expertise make him an invaluable addition to the
Company's senior management as it expands its operating asset portfolio.

 

With 13 years' experience in the mining industry, Sean Lapham joins as Geology
Director having worked on projects from early-stage exploration through to
feasibility studies, operating mines and a wide range of geological modelling
and analysis. Sean has held senior geologist positions within SLR, Mining
Plus, Lagata Private Equity and Glencore Copper, and is a Competent Person for
copper, gold, cobalt and tin. In his role as Geology Director, Sean will
oversee all geological aspects of the Company's mineral resources and mining
geology operations as it continues to leverage its asset portfolio to drive
growth.

 

Joining as the Company's new Senior Mining Engineer (Mine Planning), Sergey
Reznik holds over 15 years of experience across open-pit and underground
mining operations in North America, Europe, Central Asia and the Middle East.
Specialising in mine planning, design and scheduling, Sergey has a strong
track record of maximising production efficiency while upholding safety and
economic standards. In his new role, Sergey will support active operations and
an expanding project pipeline.

 

The Company is also pleased to announce the appointments of Afgan Imamli and
Fuad Sulkhayev as Mine Managers, who will be responsible for Demirli and
Gedabek open pit mines and help reduce oversight from the Senior Management
Team in day-to-day operations.

 

These appointments are critical to the Company executing its medium-term
growth strategy of becoming a predominantly copper, multi-asset mid-tier
producer, supporting the Executive team and increasing management bandwidth
and expertise.

 

Stephen Westhead, Vice President of Anglo Asian, commented:

"I am delighted to announce these stellar additions to our Senior Management
Team, enhancing our capabilities and bandwidth as we embark on our next phase
of growth. As Mining Director, Dominic brings extensive industry experience
and will provide a fresh perspective and considerable expertise. Sean will
strengthen our resource modelling capabilities as we continue to develop the
world-class Xarxar and Garadag assets, with Sergey's mine planning
capabilities enabling us to seamlessly deliver production from the latest
start-up projects at Gilar and Demirli.

 

These appointments, supported by our existing highly experienced and qualified
team of which the Exploration Team comprises 1x PhD qualified, 4x PhD
candidates, 3x MSc qualified and 2x MSc candidates, will significantly benefit
Anglo Asian as we transition to a mid-tier, multi-asset copper-focused
producer."

About Anglo Asian Mining

Anglo Asian Mining plc (AIM:AAZ) is a gold, copper and silver producer with a
high-quality portfolio of production and exploration assets in Azerbaijan.
The Company produced 16,760 gold equivalent ounces ("GEOs") for the year
ended 31 December 2024. Production was severely restricted in 2024 due to a
partial environmental shutdown but was fully restarted by the end of the year.

 

The Company's strategic plan for growth shows a clearly defined path for the
Company to transition to a multi-asset, mid-tier, copper and gold producer by
2029, by which time copper will be the principal product of the Company, with
forecast production of around 50,000 to 55,000 copper equivalent tonnes. It
plans to achieve this growth by bringing into production four new mines during
the period 2025 to 2029 at Gilar, Zafar, Xarxar and Garadag. The first of
these new mines, Gilar, started production in May 2025.
