Azerbaijan producer Anglo Asian Mining has established a production target of 10,000tpa copper metal over 7 years in an initial geological block model and openpit optimisation study for the Xarxar deposit.
VP Stephen Westhead says the study for the Xarxar acquisition, bordering its Gedabek contract area, is an important step in its planned transition to mid-tier miner. Development options including mining, processing and in-situ recovery are being assessed.
