Anglo Asian Mining PLC
Forward sale of 4,600 ounces of gold bullion
Anglo Asian Mining PLC ("Anglo Asian" or the "Company"), the AIM listed gold, copper and silver producer focused in Azerbaijan, announces that it has taken a forward sale position for 4,600 ounces of gold bullion over a 7 month period from June to December 2023. This supports the Company's medium-term growth strategy, culminating in its transition to a mid-tier copper producer, and is prudent in light of forthcoming capital expenditure requirements.
Monthly forward sales of gold bullion have been made equivalent to approximately 25 to 30 per cent. of each month's budgeted gold doré production. The contracts mature at the end of each respective month and a total of 4,600 ounces of gold bullion has been forward sold. The forward sales have been made at prices between $1,949.75 to $1,979.25 per ounce of gold. The spot price of gold at the time of contracting the forward sales was $1,947.50.
The Company will report execution of these forward sales contracts in its quarterly Production and Operations reviews.
