$10 million loan drawdown from the International Bank of Azerbaijan

Anglo Asian Mining plc ("Anglo Asian" or the "Company"), the AIM-listed gold, copper and silver producer operating in Azerbaijan, announces that it has drawn down a $10 million tranche from the International Bank of Azerbaijan ("IBA") under its revolving credit facility. This credit facility was suspended whilst the Micon environmental review was carried out. However, this drawdown of $10 million follows the recognition by the Government of Azerbaijan that there is no environmental contamination at Gedabek following the release of the Micon environmental report.

The $10 million tranche has a fixed interest rate of 6.5 per cent. and is repayable over 3 years. Interest is paid monthly and there is a six-month capital repayment grace period. The loan is then repayable in equal monthly instalments over the next 30 months. The funds will be used for capital and other expenditure to restart the Group's operations.

The loan has been drawn down under the Group's AZN55 million ($32.3 million) credit line. $3.5 million was also drawn down in early July 2023 as a one-year fixed term working capital loan with a fixed rate interest of 5.5 per cent. Interest is paid monthly on the loan and the principal is repayable at the end of the term.

The Group's remaining undrawn credit line with IBA is $18.8 million. The Group has also drawn down a $5.6 million term loan with Access Bank in Azerbaijan which is secured against a $6.0 million deposit with the bank and carries an interest rate of 6 per cent. At 6 October 2023, the Group had cash of $20.3 million and total borrowings of $19.1 million.

Note that all references to "$" are to the United States dollar and the "AZN" to the Azeri new Manat.

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 57,618 gold equivalent ounces ("GEOs") for the year ended 31 December 2022.

On 30 March 2023, the Company published its strategic plan for growth which shows a clearly defined path for the Company to transition to a multi-asset, mid-tier copper and gold producer by 2028. By 2028, copper will be the principal product of the Company, with forecast production of around 36,000 copper equivalent tonnes. It plans to achieve this growth by bringing into production four new mines during 2023 to 2028 at Zafar, Gilar, Xarxar and Garadag.
