Kedabek Mine; Kedabek deposit

A copper and gold mine.
A gold mine operated by Anglo Asian Mining Plc.
The Gedabek Au-Ag-Cu deposit, which was started 200 years ago and operated by the Ottoman, Azerbaijani Khanates by changing hands periodically after the first settlers with rich copper occurrences, came to AIMC (Azerbaijan International Mining Company) after Azerbaijan gained its independence in 1991. The exploration work of 2007–2014 years resulted in the ore reserve of 20.494 Mt at grades of 1.03 g/t gold, 0.50% copper and 7.35 g/t silver (in-situ) as reported by CAE Mining as September 2014. It is estimated that the ore reserves for the Gedabek open pit are 12.1 Mt, with a contained Au content of 10,673 kg (343,160 oz), 36,009 tonnes of Cu and 107,526 kg of Ag (3,457,030 oz).
