Company Profile

Amania Mining Company
Bakhud Fluorite Project
Introduction
Amania Mining Company is a wholly owned
Afghan company established in 2010
Amania Mining is the license holder for
Afghanistan’s biggest fluorspar depositBakhud Fluorite Deposit
Since its forming, Amania Mining has
invested considerably in the mining sector
and infrastructure development of
Afghanistan. Amania Mining is one of the
very few companies to invest in Afghanistan
for the economic and social development of
Afghan people. We have created hundreds
of job not only in the Capital but also in very
remote rural parts of Afghanistan
Introduction Cont’d
Amania Mining’s dedication
towards improvement of the
mining industry within
Afghanistan has been
outstanding.
With our dedication and hard
work Amania Mining has
become one the few Mining
Companies in Afghanistan to

Geology
Bakhud Fluorite Deposit holds calculated ore
resource of up to 8.7 Million Metric Tons
Bakhud
License Area
Amania Mining started the exploration of
Bakhud License Area in May, 2013
Base camp, water wells, access roads and
other facilities where developed along with
exploration work
Team of geologists started from validating all
historical Soviet data, updating geological
maps and collecting geological data and
developed own exploration plan which was
executed and completed in 2014.
The team started their exploration first from
southern block as it is the nearest and easily
accessible, then they moved to Eastern,
Western and Northern blocks.
Historic Data Validation
Property Description
The leased area of Bakhud
Property is 50.057 Square
Kilometers
Mineral occurrences consist of
numerous almost flat lying thin
bedded, irregular, lenticular and
tabular fluorite beds with large
barren zones between them
Bakhud Fluorite Deposit is divided
in four blocks namely Northern,
Southern, Eastern and Western
Blocks
Eastern Block
The ore body in Eastern
Block is 2500 meters
long and 50 to 200
meters wide.
The fluoritic quartz ore
body is 3.10 meters
thick with 39.32% CaF2.

Western Block
The western segment of the Western
Block the ore body is 800 meters long
and between 60 meters and 300
meters wide
In other segments of the Western Block
the ore bodies are smaller with a
maximum length of 300 meters, the
width range between 10-20 and 100
meters
In some opening the ore body is 0.25 to
8.7 meters thick with 15% to 91.30%

Northern Block
The ore body in Northern
block varies from 1.25
meters to 9.5 meters
The industrial grade ore
body’s thickness varies
between 0.6 meters to 5.1
meters.
In various openings the
fluorite content ranges
between 13.89% to 63.75%

Southern Block
In Southern Block the
natural outcrops and in the
openings the ore body has
been traced along the strike
length of 700 meters
Total length of the ore body
is 500 meters and it is 10 to
200 meters wide and 0.3 to
5.3 meters thick assaying

Core Drilling
Geological map showing Southern and Eastern
Blocks with drill hole locations
Diamond Core Drilling
During 1970s about 18239 meters
drilling were done by USSR for
getting subsurface data to prepare
cross-section and resource
estimation
Amania Mining started drilling for
verification of previous data and
filling gaps in USSR drilling
Drilling in Bakhud Fluorite Deposit
started by Amania Mining in
December 2013d by November
2014 a total of 26 holes were drilled
with a depth of 366.28 meters
Text
Core Samples
All samples used in the resource estimation were derived from diamond drill
core. Various rigs and core sizes have been used during the exploration
phase. The holes used in the estimate were generally of NQ diameter.

Mining
Amania Mining is equipped with mining machinery and
assets capable of mining 1000 MT of raw ore in one day
Mining
Methods
In Bakhud Fluorite Project
open pit mining method is
adopted which is conducted
using following methods:
1. Mining with HEMMs
2. Manual Mining
Factors that allow open cast/
open pit/open cut mining
Less overburden to handle
Average thickness of ore varies from 2
to 3 meters
The terrain ranges from flat to steep
Very hilly formation
Strip ratio is very less
Formation of the deposit is nearly on the
surface
Less hauling distance
Excavation of the ore is technically viable

Processing and Metallurgy
Amania Mining Produces 200 MT/Day of Metspar with a planned
production of 300 MT/Day Acidspar by September 2015
Fluorspar is
marketable by two
methods of
processing
1. Crushing and Hand Sorting
which will produce Metallurgical
Grade Fluorite ranging from
80% to 90% CaF2
2. Floatation and Gravity
Concentration to upgrade the
raw ore to Acid Grade assaying
97% CaF2
Wash Plant
Production of Metallurgical
Grade Fluorite
The Fluorite from the ROM (Run of Mine) usually averages between 30% to 60% CaF2
Manual hand sorting takes place for preparation of ore to be fed to the crush plant
Hand sorted ore is fed to the Crush Plant and is crushed to specific sizes demanded
by customers (10-40mm, 20-50mm, 20-40mm, 20-60mm) The sizes are controlled by
vibrator screens installed to the crush plant and each size is carried to the packing
floor by conveyor belts. While crushing, washing of the ore also takes place
simultaneously to remove impurities and upgrade the CaF2 content
To ensure quality, our QA/QC department takes representative samples before and
after crushing to be analyzed in our in-house laboratory for quality assurance
The output grade is usually demand based. The grades produced are 80%, 85% and
90% CaF2
