Commencement of copper concentrate sales and record ore mined in the month at Demirli

Anglo Asian Mining PLC ("Anglo Asian" or the "Company"), the AIM-listed gold, copper and silver producer focused in Azerbaijan, is pleased to announce it has commenced copper concentrate sales from its new Demirli mine.

As announced on 3 November 2025, the Company has contracted to sell copper concentrate produced at Demirli to Trafigura Pte Ltd ("Trafigura"). From 17 November 2025 to 30 November 2025, 2,055 wet tonnes of copper concentrate containing 351 tonnes of copper metal was sold to Trafigura, generating provisional gross sales revenue (before the Government of Azerbaijan's share) of $3.6 million.

A dedicated logistics centre for storage and delivery of concentrate has been established at Dalimammadli near Ganja, close to the main highway between Azerbaijan and Georgia. The logistics centre comprises 3,500 square metres of fully enclosed storage, and 1,500 square metres of roofed storage, both of which are contained within a seven-hectare fenced area. Company trucks transport the concentrate from the Demirli mine to the logistics centre. Trafigura trucks are therefore not required to obtain permission to enter Karabakh which currently has restricted access. The establishment of this logistics centre demonstrates the close relationship between Trafigura and the Company and facilitates very efficient and faster copper concentrate sales.

In line with its growth strategy to increase its production profile, in November 2025, the Company mined a record volume of ore at Demirli. Nearly two million tonnes of rock were mined as follows:

Rock type	Tonnes mined (tonnes)	Copper grade (%)	Purpose/destination
FLT ore	195,384	0.54	Flotation feed
Oxide ore	269,013	0.22	Stockpiled
FLT low grade ore	6,115	0.13	Stockpiled
Waste*	1,480,589	N/A	Used to buttress the wall of the tailings dam
Total rock mined	1,951,101	N/A

*mainly material from push back of the West Pit

On 27 November, a record 81,000 tonnes of rock was mined and hauled in one day.

Reza Vaziri, CEO of Anglo Asian, commented:

"We are continuing to make great progress at the Demirli mine, which was brought into production on time and on budget, and we have now completed our first copper concentrate sales to Trafigura. We continue to invest in this relationship, which is strategically important for Anglo Asian, by establishing our new logistics centre which will drive significant efficiencies.

"With Demirli delivering in accordance with our expectations, and in line with our strategy to grow production, we are also delighted to have recently achieved record daily and monthly quantities of ore mined at Demirli"
