The Aghyokhush group of gold deposits is located 14 km northeast of the Chovdar gold deposit, within the administrative boundaries of Goygol and Dashkasan districts. It was discovered in 2017 by the geologists of AzerGold CJSC.
Although the reserves of the Aghyokhush group of deposits are limited, its location close to the Chovdar mine, which is currently in operation, enables its development without additional capital investment and without the construction of a new processing plant or associated infrastructure.
This group of deposits consists of the Aghyokhush – 1, Aghyokhush – 2, and satellite gold deposits. Mining operations at the Aghyokhush – 1 deposit were carried out between November 2020 and December 2021. As a result, 19,829 ounces of gold were produced.
Mining operations at the Aghyokhush – 2 and satellite gold deposits are planned to commence in the fourth quarter of 2026. The deposit is estimated to contain 31,507 ounces of saleable gold reserves.
