Drill results further extend mineralisation at Gilar
Anglo Asian Mining PLC ("Anglo Asian" or the "Company"), the AIM
listed gold, copper and silver producer focused in Azerbaijan, is
pleased to announce that further drill results at the Gilar deposit
confirm an extension to the mineralisation reported by previous
drilling, with intercepts of up to 51 metres of continuous gold and
copper mineralisation.
The drilling has extended and confirmed the deeper zone of
continuous mineralisation hosting significant gold, copper and zinc
with intercept thickness of over 50 metres. Details of the
intercepts can be found below.
Borehole 22GLDD133: 51.00m @ 1.9g/t gold, 1.4% copper and 0.5%
zinc from 333.00m, including:
-- 34.50m @ 2.6g/t Au, 2.0% Cu and 0.7% zinc at 1.0g/t gold
cut-off from 342.50m, including at a 2.0 g/t Au cut-off
o 6.80m @ 4.0g/t Au, 6.3% Cu and 3.2% zinc from 345.50m
The Company has also commenced portal construction and
tunnelling for the second ventilation tunnel at Gilar. A
significant amount of portal development has been undertaken
including a cut back for geotechnical purposes, reinforcement of
the portal area and development of infrastructure including water,
power and underground ventilation.
Stephen Westhead, Vice-President of Anglo Asian, commented:
"We are delighted to announce this extension to Gilar, which
hosts exceptionally strong grades of gold and copper over
significant thickness. We continue to develop the portal, and the
team is making great progress with the tunnelling. Gilar is an
exciting project for Anglo Asian, and we look forward to bringing
it into production in the fourth quarter of this year."

Details about the drilling at Gilar
The Company is updating its databases to incorporate the
increasing amount of information collected about each deposit. The
Gilar database is being updated as results of drilling and
underground geological mapping of the tunnels is completed to
capture this valuable information that will be used for QA/QC
control, engineering and planning.
