About this update from Anglo Asian Mining Plc
[{"type":"text","content":"\n\n24 June 2025\n \nAnglo Asian Mining PLC\nInaugural ESG Rating\n \nAnglo Asian Mining PLC (\"Anglo Asian\" or the \"Company\"), the AIM listed gold, copper and silver producer primarily focused on Azerbaijan, is pleased to announce that it has received its inaugural Sustainability rating from Digbee Ltd (\"Digbee\"), an independent provider of ESG disclosure and benchmarking for the mining sector.\n \nAn expert panel of globally recognised sustainability professionals awarded Anglo Asian an overall BB rating for both its corporate-level sustainability performance and that of its Gedabek asset. The BB rating reflects a strong foundation from which the Company can continue to enhance its ESG performance, demonstrating Anglo Asian's commitment to international best practice, transparent reporting, and continuous improvement.\n \nDigbee's assessment considered a wide range of factors, including the specific context of the Company's operations and the effectiveness of its ESG risk management strategies. Ratings range from AAA to D, with the BB rating representing an average of individual component scores.\n \nResponsible operational management and sustainability leadership are central to Anglo Asian's long-term growth strategy. As the Company transitions to become a primarily copper-focused producer, supporting the global energy transition, embedding ESG principles into all aspects of its business remains a key strategic priority.\n \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nFigure 1: A graphic representation of Anglo Asian's overall Sustainability risks and opportunities.
