    AZERBAIJAN INTERNATIONAL MINING OPERATING COMPANY MAY SUE RUSSIAN COMPANY

    Azeri Press Agency, Azerbaijan
    Aug 8 2007

    "Azerbaijan International Mining Operating Company will appeal to
    the government of Russia and international organizations if this
    country's mining companies commence exploration or drilling in the
    gold fields in Azerbaijan's territory occupied by Armenia," the
    company's president Reza Vaziri told APA-Economics.

    "We are attentively following what is going on in the occupied lands.

    In case of any event, we will react to it," he added.

    India's Vedanta Group of Company has reportedly agreed to sell he
    Ararat Gold Recovery Company to London-based Russian businessman
    Sergey Generalov's GeoProMining Company.

    Ararat Gold Recovery Company is illegally tapping gold in Zod gold
    field of Azerbaijan in the occupied territory.

    Reza Vaziri said in accordance with the international law, no company
    can work on gold fields in the occupied land of Azerbaijan.

    "We will sue whichever company comes to this territory. I think,
    no company would like to be involved in the process which goes to
    the court," he added.

    Anglo Asian Mining Plc (49%) and Azerbaijan (51%) signed a 30 year
    Production Sharing Agreement (PSA) to develop previously identified
    copper and gold properties in Azerbaijan that lie on the Tethyan
    Mineralization Belt which runs between Turkey and Pakistan.

    The six fields reflected in the agreement include one field in
    Nakhchivan, one in gandja, one in gedebey, 3 in the occupied lands
    (Zod Field in Kelbedjer, Kizilbulag in Aghdara, and Vajnali in
    Zangilan).
