Chapter 01
Exploration and Resource Assessment
The 2027–2030 State Programme prioritises reassessing known deposits using modern geological methods and exploring additional mineral resources.
Gold, copper and molybdenum deposits in Kalbajar, Aghdara and Zangilan are among the identified priorities. Geological exploration in Nakhchivan is expected to begin in 2027.
Relevant capabilities: drilling rigs and tooling, geological surveying, geophysical systems, sampling, laboratory analysis, resource modelling and technical consulting.
Chapter 02
Mining Equipment and Operational Support
Established operations provide practical applications for equipment and services used in surface and underground mining.
Demirli’s open-pit copper operations and Gilar’s underground copper-gold mine illustrate different operating environments in which suppliers can demonstrate relevant expertise.
Relevant capabilities: excavation and haulage machinery, underground equipment, ventilation, dewatering, spare parts, maintenance services, wear components and safety systems.

Chapter 03
Mineral Processing and Plant Engineering
Azerbaijan’s processing infrastructure includes AzerGold’s Chovdar Integrated Regional Processing Area, alongside Anglo Asian Mining’s facilities at Gedabek and Demirli.
These sites use technologies including heap leaching, Carbon-in-Leach, agitation leaching and flotation. They offer concrete reference points for suppliers assessing the suitability of their processing solutions.
Relevant capabilities: crushing and screening, grinding, flotation equipment, pumps, reagents, process instrumentation, automation, plant maintenance and engineering services.
Chapter 04
Iron Ore and Metallurgical Development
The planned Dashkasan iron ore value chain, associated with the West Industrial Park, includes beneficiation, pelletising and hot briquetted iron facilities.
The Filizchay polymetallic deposit is another development priority, with feasibility work and a final investment decision identified as key next steps.
Relevant capabilities: metallurgical testwork, process design, feasibility studies, plant engineering, bulk material handling and industrial infrastructure.

Energy, Water and Environmental Solutions
Both operating mines and development projects require supporting infrastructure. The national programme also emphasises environmental assessment and compliance.
Relevant capabilities: power systems, renewable energy integration, water treatment and recycling, dust suppression, tailings management, environmental monitoring and rehabilitation services.

Match Your Offer to the Project Stage
| Project stage | Potential supplier contribution |
|---|---|
| Exploration and assessment | Surveying, drilling, sampling, testing and resource evaluation. |
| Feasibility and design | Metallurgical studies, engineering, environmental assessment and equipment selection. |
| Construction and commissioning | Machinery, processing systems, infrastructure and technical support. |
| Operations and maintenance | Replacement parts, servicing, consumables, monitoring and process optimisation. |
These are potential application areas rather than announced procurement packages. Commercial opportunities depend on each project’s approvals, technical specifications and purchasing timetable.
