[Description: http://www.uploadlibrary.com/SPAngel_Carole.Ferguson/spa_logo.png] Anglo Asian Mining* (AAZ LN) 32.75p, Mkt cap £36m – Q2 operations update highlights expectation for 42,000oz of gold in H2 BUY - Target Price: 54p  Anglo Asian Mining has released details of its Q2 operations update.  The Gedabek gold mine is expected to perform strongly through the second half following the commissioning of the new gold recovery plant.  Management reiterate expectations for 60,000oz of gold production for the year versus 50,215oz last year  The agitation leach plant was completed on time and $7m under its $52m budget.

If only more companies could achieve these simple goals?  Gold production for the quarter was supressed at 8,912oz due to disruption from the switch over to the new plant.  The SART recovery plant continues to recover copper, silver and gold in copper concentrate form.  Group net debt has risen to US$47m following the cost of the agitation leach plant and is well within the company’s facilities.  The agitation leach plant is to increase its processing rate to 100tph with high grade gold ore stockpiled for processing and an ability to reprocess lower grade heap-leach material with an effective near-zero feed cost.  The mine may also process a proportion of higher grade gold ore from the Gosha gold mine at some stage adding to production and potentially reducing unit costs further.

The addition of ore from Gosha could raise gold production to 80,000oz to 90,000ozpa by end 2014.  Gold C1 cash costs should fall to $450-500/oz for the full year from $668/oz in FY 2012.
