Anglo Asian Mining plc ('Anglo Asian' or 'the Company')
Phase I of the Realistic Mineral Resources Model Report - Gedabek Update

Anglo Asian Mining plc, the AIM quoted gold producer, announces that it has been
advised by its mining consultants, SGS Mineral Services ('SGS'), that the final
JORC compliant resource results of Phase I of the Realistic Mineral Resources
Model Report ('the Report') at the Company's Gedabek gold/copper mine in
Azerbaijan ('Gedabek'), are now expected to be available by the end of August
2010. The resource upgrade, which SGS has indicated will exceed existing
figures by at least 50% for the measured, indicated and inferred gold, copper
and silver metal contents at Gedabek (RNS:13 April 2010), is well progressed,
however additional work required at the modelling stage has necessitated a
longer timetable than expected. Gedabek's resource currently stands at 702,000
ounces of gold, 37,500 tonnes of copper and 6,100,000 ounces of silver.

The Report represents the first phase of SGS's work; the second phase of the
project will involve in-fill drilling to increase the reliability of the results
obtained from the original drill holes and for metallurgical/environmental
assessment of the mineralisation. This work is expected to be completed in Q4
2010/Q1 2011 and will increase the Board's confidence in the new resource
evaluations. It is the Board's intention to prepare a new Mineral Reserves
Statement after completion of the second phase of the project in order to comply
with the JORC Code for producing mines by first half of 2011.

AAZ steadily keeps delivering. Profitable and has reduced debt to negligible amount.
Looking great value for money with PE of mere 4 and is actively looking to expand activity and reserves.

Undervalued gold miner.

AAZ currently is valued at £34m with about £32m of debt.


By the end of 2014 AAZ will be producing at least 80000 oz of gold/year at a cost of $500 per oz.
With gold at $1400 per oz.
This equates to 1400 - 500 = $900 gross profit per oz
or 80000 x 900 = $72m gross profit for year 2014
$72/1.5 = £48m gross profit for year

Anglo Asian Mining plc, the AIM listed gold producer in Azerbaijan, provides an exploration and operational update from its flagship Gedabek gold/copper/silver mine ('Gedabek'), and Gosha Gold Project in western Azerbaijan.



Following the commissioning of the Company's new Agitation Leaching Plant in June 2013, which was constructed to improve gold recovery at Gedabek, the Company is pleased to report that it has recorded its highest monthly gold production on record since the mine first poured gold in May 2009. For the month of August 2013 gold production from the agitation leaching plant and original heap leach operations totalled 7,600 ounces. The Company is due to announce its quarterly gold production figures for the three months ending 30 September 2013 in early October 2013 and the FY 2013 gold production target remains at 60,000 ounces.



In terms of exploration and development at Gedabek, in April 2012, the Company announced an updated JORC compliant resource of 48,138,979 tonnes at 0.825 g/t gold for 1,276,422 ounces of gold in the Measured and Indicated categories, and in June 2012, the Company announced a maiden minable reserve at Gedabek which totalled 20,312,879 tonnes at 1.139 g/t gold for 744,038 ounces, 0.293% copper for 59,479 tonnes, and 9.456 g/t silver for 6,175,531 ounces (see press release 07.06.12). Since then, an extensive 28,872 metre drilling programme has been completed which targeted an extension of the existing mine at Gedabek with the aim of further increasing the mineral resources and reserves as part of Anglo Asian's exploration and development programme. An updated resource report prepared by the Company's geological consultants and Competent Person, CAE Mining International Ltd ('CAE Mining'), had been expected by the end of June 2013. However, CAE Mining had experienced unforeseen delays and delivery of the report has now been promised by 30 September 2013.



At the Company's second mining operation, Gosha, which is located 50km from Gedabek, significant progress has been made in the development of the mine. The ore vein has now been intercepted and a trial batch of 100 tonnes of ore was mined on 4 September 2013. The Company will continue development work on the mine and will start regular ore production at Gosha later this year. The Gosha ore is high grade and it will be trucked to Gedabek and processed through the Agitation Leach plant, from the beginning of 2014. This high-grade, underground mine, once fully developed, is expected to produce circa 15-20,000 ounces of gold per annum. In light of the recent record production figures from the Company's flagship project, Gedabek, and with the commencement of first ore at Gosha, Anglo Asian expects to see its total gold production rising to between 80,000 and 90,000 ounces by the end of 2014, subject to both the Gosha mine and the Gedabek Agitation Leaching Plant operating as expected.



Anglo Asian CEO Reza Vaziri said, "I am delighted to report that gold production from our Gedabek mining operation has reached a record high since the implementation of our new agitation plant earlier this year, with over 7,600 ounces produced in the month of August. In addition we are expecting a reserve upgrade at Gedabek in the near-term which will see an increase in the amount of the mineable ore-body and in-turn life of mine.



"In addition to this we have seen exciting developments at our second gold project, Gosha, where we have begun early mining activities. From here we will continue to develop the operation with a view to processing the ore mined at the Gedabek plant in 2014. This will in-turn optimise economies of scale of our Gedabek processing operations as we fully utilise our processing capacity of both our agitation and heap leach plants, enhance the low-capital and operating costs of our second mining project, and generate further cash-flow for the Company in 2014."

Taddishs thoughts from another bulletin board
Today's news is better than expected and in agreement with zhockey I think the company is taking care not to over-promise nor release all the good news at such an early stage. There may be some hiccups any disappointing developments will need to be offset by better-than-expected updates.

So, Gedebek seems to be fully commissioned and possibly beating expected production levels. Gosha is also on track at the top end of expectations. The updated resource statement is a key factor too and hopefully the CEO's stated anticipation of an increase will extend Gedabek minelife beyond the current 6 years.

The present short minelife wil be holding the SP back, so I see the promised RNS in 3 weeks' time to be a significant stage in investors' appetite for AAZ. A good resource upgrade could well accompany a statement from the company on future dividend payments. The company has been considering dividends from the end of this year (the CEO mentioned it in a video proactive investors interview several months ago), so if the price of gold doesn't take another dive, we may have some good news to attract the smaller institutions as we enter 2014.

All up, I'm very comfortable with AAZ - if we get a good resource update ideally with better grades, then the company will be ticking all the boxes ....

Low cost
Low risk (open pit)
Highly profitable
Highly cash generative
Consistent year on year growth in production volumes
Extended minelife
Several licenses yet to be exploited
Supportive government & financing
Not over-endebted, with loans expected to be repaid out of cashflow within 2 years

Gold price aside - a pretty safe investment and at a PE ratio of around 2.5 based on after-tax profit.
AAZ's already a bargain and any increase in gold price from today's level should light some fires under the SP too.

Tad

now up 13%

Fundfemale thoughts from another bulletin board
The management team have done an absolutely fantastic job of commissioning the new agitation leaching plant here, and with the subsequent reduction in cost per ounce, they made a really smart decision in stockpiling the 90k ounces ore, we have well and truly moved up a gear.

I am full of anticipation for the reserves upgrade at the end of this month -Gedabek is a substantial area - check the dimensions, I believe we have not got even close to mining Cholpan yet. Gedabek is a fantastic operation and has much support from the staff and local community - it will continue to run for many more years than current conservative estimates and is a beacon in the new economy of Azerbaijan. I know we cannot count our ounces before CAE hatch our new resource report, but the very charming geologist I met at mines and money believed that the deeper exploration drilling was excitingly bountiful, if I may be that effusive!?

To anyone who waits in the sidelines, do not wait too long...

Gosha is a little nugget, delighted they intercepted the ore vein, when I visited the site the geologist told me a little secret re. some extraordinarily high grades. 15 -20,000 ounces is very high for a little place, this is HIGH GRADE.

Apologies for gossip and ramping, hope you understand.

I have never been a weak holder.

Good fortune to all invested.

Jumping Chinese gold imports on pace to 1,000 tonnes

China continues to pile into gold, with record breaking imports record of 129 tonnes in July, as compared to 76 tonnes in July 2012.

MUMBAI (Mineweb) -

Even as the Indian government is seeking to restrict gold imports and is coming down hard on gold loan companies across the country, China could well be on its way to import 1,000 tonnes of gold for the whole year if recent buying trends continue.

China has imported through Hong Kong 129 tonnes of physical gold in July, from the 113 tonnes it imported in June, according to the Hong Kong Census and Statistics Department.

This is the second highest import level on record in a month and a year-over-year increase from 76 tonnes in July 2012. The July imports are also over and above the 518 tonnes of gold imports the nation already brought in the first six months of 2013, according to available data.

The country continues to buy at record levels, importing on an average, over 100 tonnes of gold every month for the last five months.

To put the scope of buying in context, the largest gold ETF (electronic traded fund) in the US holds 919 tonnes of physical gold, and China has imported over two thirds that amount in just seven months.

In May China’s gold imports from Hong Kong had increased to 127 tonnes from 76 tonnes in the same month last year. In April, China imported 126 tonnes of gold.

A note by investment bank HSBC states the "recent pull-back in gold prices, sub $1,400/oz level, may be an encouraging sign for price sensitive physical buyers to step back into the market. That said, China’s gold imports may remain at elevated levels for the medium term."

The bank added, "Physical gold demand in China has clearly picked up in July, after gold prices hit the year to date low of $1,181/oz on June 28. This increase in demand helped contributed to bullion’s price recovery to over $1,300/oz at the end of July."

On a net basis, and after deducting for scrap, China’s gold imports from Hong Kong totaled 113 tonnes in July this year, more than double the net imports of 46 tonnes in July last year.

Meanwhile in neighbouring India, high gold imports for the first six months of the year have got the government knocking on temple doors to check on gold treasure troves, in a bid to arrest the economic crisis.

India, which competed with China with its near double digit growth rates a few years ago, appears to have lost its shine in recent quarters given falling investment growth.

To curb India's consumption of gold and help shrink the nation's current account deficit, the government has hiked import tariffs four times in a year's span, while reducing the same only once.

It could well be this is year China overtakes India as the largest bullion consumer.
