Anglo Asian Mining plc Announces an Update About its Demirli Mine and Plant Anglo Asian Mining plc announced an update about its Demirli mine and plant. Located in the Karabakh region (formerly Nagorn Karabakh) of Azerbaijan, the Demirli contract area was acquired by the Company in 2022. The Demirli Property comprises two contiguous open pits and a six million tonnes per annum flotation plant to produce copper concentrate, together with a smaller molybdenum flotation plant. There is good access to Demirli from Baku over mainly metalled roads. The mine and plant were opened approximately ten years ago and operated until 2022. Access was acquired to the Demirli Property this summer and the Company has since conducted a number of preliminary assessments. An office has been set up at the property and the accommodation block and canteen facilities refurbished. A small laboratory, which can carry out limited assays, has also been established. The plant is intact and in reasonable order. However, some electrical and mechanical equipment within the plant has been removed. Tailings were discharged into a tailings dam of upstream construction, sited immediately adjacent to the plant, and which is close to full capacity. The Company has commissioned a study of the tailings dam to ascertain its serviceability and suitability for a further wall raise. The Company is also evaluating the options for the provision of reliable power and water supplies to the operations. The Company has recovered only partial details of the mineral resources of the deposit. In addition, the current block model is incomplete. Considerable drilling of the deposit has been carried out previously and drill core is stored at site. However, the drill core has not yet been matched to drill holes. Based on incomplete data, the Company has estimated there are approximately 58 million tonnes of residual ore containing 239,000 tonnes of copper. Of these 58 million tonnes of ore, 22 million tonnes have been reported as reserves and suitable as feed for flotation. However, it is not known whether the remainder of this mineralisation is suitable for flotation. A drone survey of the entire site has recently been carried out to determine the topology of the deposit. Reverse Circulation ("RC") drilling, to a depth of ten metres, is also being carried out to identify ore blocks of sufficient size to commission the plant and operate it for one year. The Company plans to produce a JORC mineral resources estimate of the remaining ore deposit. Near mine exploration targets are also being explored. The Company is also conducting an initial benchmark environmental study, with a local provider currently being commissioned to carry out a more detailed benchmark and baseline study and an Environmental and Social Impact Assessment ("ESIA"). The Company will need to identify any damage to the environment caused by the previous operations and ensure it has no liability in respect of any damage identified. The Company continues to conduct the necessary analysis on the Demirli Property. It will provide an update on the timing and cost of reopening the plant when these are ascertained.

No contamination, or a higher incidence of disease in the neighbouring population, has been identified. Anglo Asian has been operating at Gedabek since 2009 and is proud of its long-standing and strong community relations, particularly its significant social and economic contribution to the local area which was historically disadvantaged with low levels of employment. Accordingly, the sudden unrest over the location of the second tailings dam was unexpected. Nevertheless, the Company, in collaboration with the Government, has agreed to a re-evaluation of the technical and environmental aspects of its second tailings dam, including the proposed location and other related matters (the "Environmental Study"). The Environmental Study will be carried out by an independent international consultancy under the auspices of the Ministry of Ecology and Natural Resources. The Company's local environmental engineers, CQA International, and its independent tailings management consultants, Knight Piesold, will assist in the process. The Company is currently agreeing a protocol with the Government for how the Environmental Study will be carried out, which it expects to finalise in the coming days. Buying Opportunity • Jul 17

The results are from the extension drilling of six vertical core drill holes at the south-west of the Gilar site. The overall drilling has demarcated six zones of mineralisation referenced in the RNS of 19 December 2022. Recent drilling has extended and confirmed the deeper zone of continuous mineralisation hosting significant gold, copper and zinc with intercept thickness of over 65 metres. One drill hole in the centre of Gilar also intersected significant mineralisation. Two further inclined drill holes in the south-west of Gilar are now complete and subject to verification and analysis. Free gold in the Gilar deposit: A mineralogical analysis facility has been established at Gedabek with the capability of preparing polished and thin sections of ore samples to enable the characterisation and quantification of the minerals contained in the samples by optical microscopy. In a recent study, free gold in quartz has been identified in samples of Gilar ore. This type of ore characterisation work allows the determination of mineral interrelations and liberation sizes, which are valuable data for both comminution and mineral separation process optimisation purposes.

Anglo Asian Mining PLC Provides Summary of Its Extensive and Productive Geological Exploration Activities from July 1 to December 31, 2020 At Its Gedabek, Gosha and Ordubad Contract Areas Anglo Asian Mining PLC provided summary of its extensive and productive geological exploration activities from July 1 to December 31, 2020 at its Gedabek, Gosha and Ordubad Contract Areas. The exploration programme resulted in a new discovery Zafer during second half 2020, which was announced in January 2021. Zafer is a copper-gold mineral occurrence approximately 1.5 kilometres from the Company's processing facilities at Gedabek. The comprehensive exploration programme already underway at Gedabek continued in second half 2020 and substantial drilling was carried out at several priority mineral deposit targets. A considerable amount of exploration was also carried out at its Gosha contract area. However, COVID-19 travel restrictions continue to impede the geological work that could be undertaken at Ordubad. There was no exploration in and around the operating Gedabek open pit and Duzyurd in second half 2020 due to production priorities. However, some reverse circulation drilling was carried out for grade control and mine planning purposes. A considerable amount of exploration activity was completed at Gedabek underground during H2 2020. Various platforms were utilised to complete 23 core drill holes for a total of 1,371 metres. Gold grades of up to 6.2 g/t of gold were reported. Significant drilling was carried out in the Gadir underground in second half 2020. 14 core drill holes were completed for a total of 533 metres. Gold grades of up to 4.5 g/t of gold were reported. Exploration in second half 2020 was focused on and around the Ugur open pit to assess the potential extensions to the Ugur deposit. Seven core drill holes were completed to the south-east of, and around, the Ugur open pit. These holes targeted deeper extents of high-grade copper-silver mineralisation. Intersections assaying more than 1% copper were encountered at depths of around 300 metres. Drilling is continuing in second 2021. Zafer is a new discovery which was announced January 19, 2021. Zafer was defined by Anglo Asian's in-house exploration group and is a new mineral occurrence approximately 1.5 km north-west of the Company's Gedabek processing facilities. The mineralisation was identified by geological exploration follow-up of field mapping between ZTEM targets. Geological, structural and alteration mapping was used to target the initial drilling, which commenced in August 2020. A series of drill holes demonstrated that the geology progressively moved from altered rock into weakly mineralised rocks and finally into the zone of significant mineralisation. Once the scale of the mineralisation was understood, ground-based IP and resistivity electrical geophysics was employed to define the potential extent of the mineralisation. In total, 10 profile lines covering an overall length of nearly 25 km were completed. The 2-D and 3-D interpretations resulted in the identification of a number of "hot spot" anomalies that are being followed up with further drilling. The geology of the area is structurally complex, comprising mainly of Upper Bajocian-aged volcanics. The mineralisation seems to be associated with a main northwest-southeast trending structure, which is interpreted as post-dating smaller northeast-southwest structures. In the southwest area, outcrops with tourmaline have been mapped, which can be indicative of the potential for porphyry-style mineral formation. The exploration area is located along the regional Gedabek-Shekarbek fault system, with Shekarbek being another target area known to host copper mineralisation, situated in the northwest of the zone. In 2020, 12 drill holes were completed totaling 7,675 metres. The drill results are summarised in the linked report. The deposit is currently being drilled with three core drill machines and further geophysical work will be carried out if required. Sampling for a mineralogical study is also underway to assess the textural relations between the metallic minerals and gangue mineralogy. This will be used to assess the associations between the copper and gold mineralisation, which will be used to determine the grind sizes and processing options. Based on the work in 2020, a preliminary estimate of the deposit size is about six million tonnes of mineralised rock.
