Ordubad

The 462 square kilometre Ordubad Contract Area is located in the Nakhchivan exclave, southwest Azerbaijan, and contains numerous targets. Very limited geological fieldwork was carried out in 2021 and 2022, as access was restricted due to the COVID-19 pandemic. However, drilling resumed in 2023 targeting potential copper porphyry deposits.

Access to the Nakhchivan exclave via the Syunik district of Armenia

The exclave of Nakhchivan hosts the Company’s Ordubad contract area. Nakhchivan is currently separated from the rest of Azerbaijan by the Syunik region of southern Armenia. As part of the agreement to cease hostilities, a corridor through the southern part of the region will be given to Azerbaijan to build direct road and rail links between Nakhchivan and the rest of Azerbaijan. These projected transport links will greatly aid the Company in its efforts to develop and exploit the resource potential of its Ordubad contract area in Nakhchivan.
