Matt,

Are you able to fix the m'cap in the header?

[jeanesy] 12/3/2016 14:44

Poor end of the week for POG. heres hoping for some production figures at the end of this week.

[ilostthelot] 11/3/2016 17:06

I agree with Zhockey. There is always political risk and I'm comfortable with those here.
The situation you allude to is unlikely to happen let's be honest.

President Aliyev: Azerbaijan’s dependence on oil to even reduce in coming years

President of the Republic of Azerbaijan Ilham Aliyev was interviewed by Euronews channel following the official opening of the fourth Global Baku Forum.

- Mr. President, how important is it for oil and gas producing countries like Azerbaijan to diversify their economies, to change their business models in the current oil prices turmoil?

- Actually, we have been working on diversification of economy for many years. But today, when the oil prices are very low, this becomes our main priority. We managed to reduce dependence on oil and gas, and now oil and gas make only 30 percent of our GDP. But our target is to create a model of development which will not depend on oil prices. And it is happening. We are introducing a broad package of reforms which are supported by the International Monetary Fund. Main concern is the areas of non-oil sector – agriculture, IT development, tourism and other sectors. Therefore, I am sure that in the coming years, dependence on oil in Azerbaijan will reduce even more.

- How concerned are you about the impact of falling oil prices on global security particularly in the Middle East?

- We don’t see a direct link between reduction of oil prices and global security. But, definitely, in the long term, if oil prices remain low, it may lead to economic and social problems because some countries are used to have a lot of revenues from oil sales that have already reduced. There could be cuts in budgets. Therefore, that could happen. But the main objective of every oil producing country, I think, is to reduce dependence on oil, to invest in innovation, education, modern technologies and to export different projects rather than oil and gas. If it happens, then, I think, security in the region will be provided at the high leve

Of all the risks ai would say that is probably the most unlikely to be realised. Yes some folks will be put off by the postcode but I'm more interested in the ability to make a profit, I can live with the political risk.

Look at it this way, if AAZ were located in Canada the share price would likely be 5x higher. However if the political risks are not realised then you make a 5x profit by virtue of the risk reward.

Gold up, copper up, what's not to like.

[mattjos] 11/3/2016 10:13

The Manat still under pressure. now at 1.6456 & beginning to look like it is about to go vertical once again

[jaspoland] 11/3/2016 10:11

Looks like everyone is waiting for the monthly production report before buying more. Let's hope they deliver.

[pixi] 11/3/2016 09:42

Brokers have a target of 20p for AAZ.

[ilostthelot] 10/3/2016 22:41

Looking good for a move up to $1300 gold tomorrow in the back of the ECB cutting rates.

[mattjos] 10/3/2016 21:42

John Meyer from share price Angel on Bloomberg today

[jeanesy] 10/3/2016 20:54

Good day for POG. nothing going on here atmo. Should get latest prod fig for Feb in about a week. I hope that they are better than Jan.

[mattjos] 10/3/2016 14:15

ECB move today will persuade more people to head for gold

[zhockey] 09/3/2016 23:13

AAZ are priced to go bust IMO so if these risks don't play out and production is good the outlook is very much to the upside.

[ilostthelot] 09/3/2016 22:19

The government do very well out of the deal they have with AAZ so I can't see what dire consequences affecting AAZ as a result of having cheaper costs.

[2sporrans] 09/3/2016 21:18

As you imply Mattjos, an implosion in the value of the Manat would be so destabilising there might well be dire consequences for AAZ; particularly so if a radical change of government occurs.

Azeri diversification from Oil is very desirable.
Having said, the most immediate alternative is Gas production; this is well underway.
Obviously not that far removed from Oil though.
Having said, as the least ugly [pollutant] of the 3 Hydrocarbon sisters, it's the one with the best prospects over the next 10-30 years.
Currently, consortia are massively expanding/extending pipeline, pumping etc infrastructure through Azerbaijan and Georgia with commitment/go-ahead to pass through Turkey and S.E. Europe:
Basically, this lot:



is generating a stack of infrastructure work in Azerbaijan right now and through next 2 years or more:



OK, very peripheral to AAZ but maybe of interest?

To the [considerable] extent 20-billion m3/pa of Azeri gas exports will dent the Russian near monopoly of the East-Central European gas consumption market, it's of international significance.

Manat to USD set to 1.6315 for Mach 10.

Az interest rates went from 3% to 5% on Feb 15 this year ( first rise for 5 years) & then from 5% to 7% on 4th March.
The Manat was the worst performing currency in the world in 2015. This years interest rates are, so far, just slowing the currency devaluation but, have not halted it yet, let alone even started to reverse the decline in the Manat.
Must be very, very disconcerting for the population & inflation is streaking upwards in the country.

The Manat has HALVED against the US$ in the past 12 MONTHS! In the same timeframe, AAZ's mkt cap has increased by circa 12%.
Over the same timeframe, the new flotation plant has been bought online and our costs have been decreasing.
I guess the mkt is determined to wait for more financial commentary from the company at present but, there has been a rare confluence of events this last 12 months and all of them should positively affect the finances of AAZ.

That said, we should feel some empathy for the people in Az, for whom life will be very much harder & also for the management of the company, who will be under pressure right now.

The necessity to diversify the economy away from oil will never be more apparent than right now. The govt, once they get past the fire-fighting stage, will certainly be very determined to not get caught like this again.
We remain, the only gold producer in the country!
