- Central Asia Metals plc (AIM: CAML) is a base metals producer focused on low-cost copper, zinc, lead, and silver output through solvent extraction-electrowinning (SX-EW) and underground mining operations. The company operates the wholly owned Kounrad SX-EW copper cathode plant in central Kazakhstan, which recovers copper from historic waste dumps via leaching, solvent extraction, and electrowinning processes, delivering high-purity cathodes primarily to customers in Turkey; and the wholly owned Sasa underground zinc-lead mine in north-eastern North Macedonia, which produces lead and zinc concentrates through crushing, milling, and flotation circuits from the Svinja Reka, Kozja Reka, and Golema Reka orebodies. Kounrad maintains production in the lowest quartile of global copper cash costs with over 165,000 tonnes of copper cathode produced since 2012 and reserves supporting output until 2034, while Sasa generates approximately 800,000 tonnes of annual ore feed yielding lead concentrates averaging 71% lead and zinc concentrates averaging 50% zinc, supported by recent capital investments including a paste backfill plant, dry stack tailings facility, and Central Decline for enhanced safety, recovery, and mine life extension to 2039. Recent developments include a revised $230 million takeover agreement for New World Resources Limited announced in mid-2025, providing geographic diversification into North American copper projects such as the Antler copper-gold mine in Nevada, the Javelin project in Arizona, and the Tererro volcanogenic massive sulfide project in New Mexico, with integration plans to accelerate development using Central Asia Metals' expertise and balance sheet; progression of Sasa capital projects completed in 2024, transitioning mining methods from sub-level caving to cut-and-fill and long-hole stoping with paste backfill for higher ore recovery, reduced dilution, and a 75% surface water abstraction reduction target by 2026; and a 5.03% shareholder stake acquisition by GLG Partners LP in November 2025. Founded in 2005 and headquartered at 36 Carnaby Street, London, United Kingdom, the company initially targeted gold before pivoting to base metals, listing on AIM via IPO in 2010 to fund Kounrad construction completed in 2012, acquiring full Kounrad ownership in 2014, and gaining 100% control of Sasa in 2017 following prior joint ventures. Central Asia Metals serves global smelters and end-users via offtake agreements, primarily with Traxys, targeting energy transition-driven base metals demand across Europe, Asia, and expanding North American markets, while emphasizing profitability with top-quartile EBITDA margins among peers.
