British company Anglo Asian Mining (AAM) reported revenue from gold mining in Azerbaijan totaling $40.9 million in the first half of 2025, a 3.1-fold increase from January-June 2024.
AAM noted that the revenue growth was due to the continuous operation of all processing facilities throughout the period, which ensured higher production volumes and higher commodity prices. The company’s pre-tax profit for the first half of 2025 was $7.1 million, compared to a pre-tax loss of $5.5 million in the first half of 2024. AAM’s gross profit for the period under review was $13.8 million, compared to a gross loss of $1.7 million in January-June 2024.
The company’s financial expenses for the first half of 2025 were $1.7 million, an increase of 41.7% compared to the same period in 2024 due to higher borrowing costs. AAM’s net cash generated from operating activities as of June 30, was $11.4 million (up 3.6-fold), and its inventory amounted to 1,176 ounces of gold with a market value of approximately $2.1 million. From January to June, the company invested $8 million in mine development and processing capacity expansion (+27%). AAM’s net debt at the end of June was $13.1 million (as of December 31, 2024, it was $14.7 million).
The company did not declare interim dividends for 2025. AAM also revised its 2025 precious metals production forecasts in Azerbaijan, which it plans to publish later. As reported, in the first half of 2025, Anglo Asian Mining produced 16,378 gold equivalent ounces of precious metals (up 3.1-fold).
