Anglo Asian Mining PLC provided production guidance for the year ending December 31, 2018. The company forecast production for the year 2018 of between 78,000 to 84,000 gold equivalent ounces ("GEOs"), an increase for the mid-point of this guidance of over 13% compared to production of 71,461 GEOs for the year 2017. As in previous years, the second half of 2018 is expected to be better than the first due to seasonal factors and the added momentum of the flotation plant processing on a stand-alone basis from second quarter 2018. Forecast production for the year 2018 of between 64,000 to 70,000 ounces of gold and between 2,100 to 2,300 tonnes of copper. Increase in total anticipated production during 2018 resulting from the optimisation initiatives undertaken at Gedabek in 2017, with continuation of production from the new Ugur open pit and Gadir underground mines and recommencement of mining in the Gedabek main open pit.
