Application has been made to the London Stock Exchange for the new Ordinary Shares to be admitted to trading on AIM ("Admission"). It is expected that Admission will become effective and that dealings in the new Ordinary Shares will commence on or around 30 July 2026.

Following the issue of the new Ordinary Shares, the Company's issued share capital now consists of 114,772,024 ordinary shares of 1p each, 150,000 of which are held in treasury. Therefore, the total number of voting rights in the Company is 114,622,024.

Notes to editors:

Anglo Asian Mining plc (AIM:AAZ) is a copper and gold producer with a high-quality portfolio of production and exploration assets in Azerbaijan. The Company produced 7,915 tonnes of copper and 25,061 ounces of gold for the year ended 31 December 2025.

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 2030, by which time copper will be the principal product of the Company, with forecast annual production of around 50,000 to 55,000 tonnes of copper. It plans to achieve this growth by bringing into production three new mines during the period 2027 to 2030 at Xarxar, Garadag and Zafar, in addition to the newly opened Gilar and Demirli mines. Production commenced at the Gilar mine in May 2025 and Demirli in July 2025. https://www.angloasianmining.com/
