AGM Result and Management Changes

Anglo Asian Mining plc, the AIM listed gold producer, held its AGM today and all resolutions were duly passed. 

Additionally at the AGM, the Company announced the appointment of Mr. Sean Duffy as Chief Financial Officer ('CFO') and Company Secretary of Anglo Asian with immediate effect.  Mr. Duffy has a wealth of corporate experience in the mining industry and this appointment is designed to further strengthen Anglo Asian's management team as it continues to develop itself as a mid-tier gold mining company in Caucasia.  Sean Duffy replaces Andrew Herbert who has stepped down from the Company's management team in order to concentrate on his other business interests.

Sean Duffy has over 25 years experience in the mining arena and has held senior finance positions for BHP Billiton Corporate Head Office in Australia and BHP Billiton Coal Exploration Projects in Indonesia.  He has also worked as a Director of Finance for Ma'aden - Saudi Arabian Mining Company, a gold, phosphate and aluminium company and as Vice President Finance based in Dubai for DRC copper/cobalt company Shalina Resources. Additionally Sean has been CFO of a TSX:V listed Kazax Minerals an iron ore company with operations and functions in Kazakhstan, Africa, Malaysia, Singapore and Canada.

Anglo Asian Chairman Khosrow said, "We are delighted to welcome Sean as CFO and Company Secretary to Anglo Asian and believe his knowledge in finance and accountancy, fused with experience and contacts gained from working within the mining industry, will help with the corporate development of the Company as we continue to improve production and profitability at our Gedabek gold/copper/silver mine in Azerbaijan and look to develop our other mining assets in the country.  

"At this time I would also like to extend my gratitude to Andrew Herbert for his commitment and significant contribution over the past four years.  He has been a valued member of the management team and we wish Andrew all the best in his future endeavours."

Anglo Asian Mining plc (AIM:AAZ) is a gold producer in Central Asia with a broad portfolio of production and exploration assets in Azerbaijan.  The Company has a 1,962 sq km prospective exploration portfolio, assembled on the back of analysis of historic Soviet geological data and held under a Production Sharing Agreement ('PSA') based on the Azeri oil industry.  The Company developed Azerbaijan's first operating gold/copper mine, Gedabek, which commenced gold production in May 2009.  Gold production for the year ended 31 December 2011 totalled 57,068 oz of gold.

Anglo Asian is actively looking to exploit its first mover advantage in Azerbaijan to identify additional projects, as well as looking for other properties in Central Asia and Caucasia in order to fulfil its expansion ambitions and become a mid-tier gold and base metal production company focussed in these regions.
