“AZERGOLD” CJSC “AzerGold” Closed Joint-Stock Company was established according to the Decree of the President of the Republic of Azerbaijan Mr. Ilham Aliyev № 1047 dated February 11, 2015. The main objective of the Company is the study, research, exploration, management, as well as extraction, processing and sale of precious and non-ferrous metal ore deposits, implementation of new technologies in this field, modernization and efficient use of material and technical base, performance of other activities related to the development of the industry. OUR MISSION Turning natural resources into social well-being and sustainable development OUR VISION Becoming a leading mining company in Azerbaijan and beyond the country borders OUR VALUES • Environmental and Social Responsibility • Transparency • Cooperation • Innovation OUR OBJECTIVES • Development of mining industry • Development of adjacent areas related to mining production • Development of external relations and income increase As a result of Armenian agression 20% of the internationally recognized territory of Azerbaijan is under Armenian occupation NON-FERROUS METAL DEPOSITES OF AZERBAIJAN REPUBLIC CHOVDAR Chovdar Ore Processing Area is a perspective area with particular and complex gold deposits located in the northern part of Dashkasan region. In this area, there are known 30 particular gold, 20 low sulphide-bearing copper-gold, 50 copper-polymetallic occurrences and mineralization points, including Chovdar gold mine. The extraction at the mine commenced in 2012. Agyokhush and Marakh areas. Aghyokhush was discovered in 2018 by “AzerGold” CJSC. Potential ore reserves of the deposit are estimated as 100 thousand ounces of gold. Currently, the area is under drilling- excavation works towards evaluation of available reserves. Preliminary exploration works in Marah field has delivered positive results. Currently, exploration works are ongoing towards estimation and confirmation of reserves available in the field. Adjacent location of the fields to Chovdar Ore Processing Area ensures economic efficiency of processing the ores extracted from this field. Tulallar area. The drilling-excavation works carried out jointly by the Ministry of Ecology and Natural Resources and “AzerGold” CJSC on the northern part of the deposit to estimate probable reserves. At the next stage, “AzerGold” CJSC continued drilling works on the southern part of field . According to the estimation by International consulting company, probable ore reserves of the field are 500 thousand ounces. Currently, the actions towards confirmation of reserves are under completion. The equipment and facilities in Chovdar Ore Processing Area are planned to be used for ore processing activities.

CHOVDAR ORE PROCESSING AREA CHOVDAR ORE PROCESSING AREA IS LOCATED NEAR CHOVDAR VILLAGE IN DASHKASAN REGION OF AZERBAIJAN. THE MINE WAS DISCOVERED IN 1998. THE PRODUCTION WAS LAUNCHED IN 2012. CHOVDAR MINING ACTIVITY CONSISTS OF TWO MAIN PHASES: OXIDE PHASE AND SULPHIDE PHASE. OXIDE (SURFACE) PHASE: • The production was launched in 2012 and is deemed to continue until 2021; • The ores are extracted by using heap leaching process and the open-pit technique; • “AzerGold” CJSC cooperates with an internationally reputable Swiss Company “Argor-Heraeus SA” for the purpose of refinery and sale of non-ferrous bullions processed during the oxide ores exploitation phase; • 233 000 ounces of gold and 349 500 ounces of silver will be produced within the oxide phase, which means $285 million US dollars profit. SULPHIDE (UNDERGROUND) PHASE: • The phase is deemed to cover 2024-2032 years; • Probable reserves have been calculated as 320 thousand ounces of gold equivalent; • Definitive Feasibility Study is carried out by a well-known consulting company and planned to be completed by the end of 2020; • Geophysical and drilling operations are ongoing in near and far flanks of the deposit. CHOVDAR ORE PROCESSING AREA 90% of the staff involved in the processing area are local residents. Around 582 500 ounces of precious metals to be extracted by the end of Oxide Phase. Total number of working hours without any occupational injury has been 1 500 000 during the operation period.
