For more than a decade, Lydian Armenia has worked closely with its partners to advance research and conservation efforts for the species, investing approximately USD 500,000 in these initiatives.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The John Hobbs Biodiversity Conservation Award is an important recognition of Lydian Armenia\u2019s leading practices in biodiversity conservation and its sustained efforts over more than a decade. It demonstrates how mining companies can make a meaningful contribution to biodiversity conservation through science-based approaches, international collaboration, and targeted investments.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">This achievement is particularly significant in the context of the ongoing 17th Conference of the Parties to the UN Convention on Biological Diversity (COP17), hosted by Armenia, demonstrating that responsible mining and biodiversity conservation can go hand in hand.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Lydian Armenia remains committed to advancing its biodiversity conservation efforts, upholding international best practices, and contributing to the long-term protection of Armenia\u2019s natural heritage.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img fetchpriority=\"high\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"658\" src=\"https:\/\/lydianarmenia.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/10\/Jon-Hobbs-1024x658.png\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-3103\" srcset=\"https:\/\/lydianarmenia.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/10\/Jon-Hobbs-1024x658.png 1024w, https:\/\/lydianarmenia.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/10\/Jon-Hobbs-300x193.png 300w, https:\/\/lydianarmenia.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/10\/Jon-Hobbs-768x493.png 768w, https:\/\/lydianarmenia.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/10\/Jon-Hobbs-1536x986.png 1536w, https:\/\/lydianarmenia.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/10\/Jon-Hobbs.png 1565w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><\/figure>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>At the recent Mining Armenia Forum 2026, one of Lydian Armenia\u2019s biodiversity conservation initiatives \u2014 a program dedicated to the scientific study, propagation, and long-term conservation of the plant species Potentilla Porphyrantha \u2014 was named the winner of the John Hobbs Biodiversity Conservation Award.

First Gold Becomes a Reality as Lydian Armenia Marks the Start of Mine Operations"},"content":{"rendered":"\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">On October 10, Amulsar Gold Mine celebrated its first gold production and pouring with an official ceremony, marking the start of operations at the first mineral deposit discovered in Armenia since independence.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">From initial discovery and exploration through project development and construction to the start of operations, Amulsar has completed every stage of the mining project development lifecycle.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Amulsar\u2019s first gold is not only the culmination of years of hard work, but also gold that creates value for Armenia\u2019s economy, local communities, its people, and the future development of the country\u2019s mining industry. The commencement of mining operations marks a major economic milestone for Armenia, creating new jobs, increasing state budget revenues, and demonstrating the attractiveness of the country\u2019s investment environment.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The Amulsar Project is being developed through a strategic partnership between Lydian Armenia and the Government of Armenia, which also holds a 12.5% stake in the company.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Lydian Armenia has invested approximately USD 750 million in the Amulsar Project, including USD 150 million in financing provided by Ameriabank under a state guarantee issued by the Government of Armenia.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Through the Amulsar Project, Lydian Armenia has introduced and implemented international best practices and leading standards in modern, responsible mining, establishing a new culture within Armenia\u2019s mining industry.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure

Million for Amulsar Communities: Who Will Decide How the Funds Are Allocated?"},"content":{"rendered":"\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">USD 7\u20139 million annually will be allocated to development programs for the communities affected by the Amulsar Project. The mechanism for managing these funds is set out in a tripartite agreement signed by the Government of Armenia, represented by the Ministry of Economy, Lydian Armenia, and the affected communities.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The program covers the communities of Sisian, Jermuk, and Vayk. The funds are expected to support priority community development needs, including infrastructure, education, healthcare, and other community development initiatives.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">In an interview with the Economic Journalists Club, Lydian Armenia\u2019s Social Manager, Lusine Hakobyan, emphasized that a key principle of the Agreement is to ensure that funding is directed specifically toward projects identified as priorities by the communities themselves.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">To manage the funds, the Amulsar Community Development Foundation is expected to be established in the near future, serving as the implementing body for the program. Funding decisions will be made by the Foundation\u2019s Board.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The Board will consist of seven members: four representing Lydian Armenia and three representing the respective affected communities. Decisions will be made by a majority vote.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">According to Lusine Hakobyan, the Board\u2019s primary function will be to make decisions on funding, while the Foundation\u2019s mechanisms and resources will help ensure the effective implementation of the selected projects.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The annual social investment during the operational phase will amount to USD 7 million. This amount may increase to USD 9 million if the price of gold on international markets exceeds USD 3,550 per ounce.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The investment period is calculated from July 2025, when construction commenced. Accordingly, the first allocation will cover 18 months and amount to USD 10.5 million.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">According to the company representative, the selected mechanism is designed to ensure clear and transparent use of the funds. Annual funding is expected to be disbursed on a quarterly basis, while the impact of the implemented projects on the communities is expected to become increasingly visible over the coming years.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The funds may be directed toward improving infrastructure, developing educational and healthcare facilities and programs, as well as supporting other socio-economic initiatives of importance to the communities.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Thus, the stated objective of the program is to deliver sustainable, long-term benefits for the communities rather than support of an individual nature.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>Who Will Decide How the Funds Are Spent?<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">According to the company, discussions around the tripartite agreement lasted for more than eight months. The Amulsar Community Development Foundation will be responsible for managing the funds, while decisions on individual projects will be made by the Foundation\u2019s Board.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">At the same time, once a project is approved for funding, the selection of the contractor responsible for its implementation is expected to remain with the respective community, with the Foundation also participating in the process.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Another important feature of the funding mechanism is that at least 20% of the total amount allocated to each enlarged community must be directed specifically to the settlements affected by the mine.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">This provision reflects the fact that Sisian, Jermuk, and Vayk are enlarged communities comprising a number of settlements. It is therefore important to ensure that the directly affected settlements have a guaranteed share of the funding.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>Special Focus on Jermuk<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Within the framework of the program, particular attention is given to Jermuk due to its status as a resort town. According to the company representative, the need to preserve the town\u2019s resort environment has been taken into consideration.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">In this context, Lydian Armenia notes that dedicated accommodation infrastructure has been established for employees to minimize the impact of their day-to-day needs on Jermuk\u2019s resort environment.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">According to the company\u2019s vision, Jermuk\u2019s future development should focus on strengthening its position as a resort town through improved infrastructure and services.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Ultimately, the program\u2019s effectiveness will depend not only on the millions of dollars allocated, but also on how transparent and participatory the distribution process is, which projects are proposed and selected, and what measurable benefits they deliver for local residents.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>USD 7\u20139 million annually will be allocated to development programs for the communities affected by the Amulsar Project.

At the same time, the Agreement establishes an important principle: each affected settlement is guaranteed to receive at least 20% of the amount designated for its respective enlarged community.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The remaining 30% of the annual contribution will be allocated to a separate basket and directed, on a competitive basis, toward financing community development projects. This mechanism will enable support for initiatives with the greatest potential to contribute to sustainable community development and deliver long-term, measurable benefits to a broader number of residents.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">It should be noted that these funds will not be transferred directly by Lydian Armenia to the community budgets. Instead, they will be provided to the Amulsar Community Development Fund, established by the Company.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The communities will submit their proposed development projects to the Fund for consideration. Once approved, the Fund will provide the necessary funding for their implementation.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Funding decisions will be made by the Fund\u2019s highest governing body, the Board, which will comprise four representatives of Lydian Armenia and one representative from each of the Jermuk, Vayk and Sisian communities.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The Agreement also establishes clear procedures for financial oversight, reporting and auditing to ensure the transparent, targeted and effective management of funds allocated for community development.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The signing of the Community Development Agreement establishes a predictable, transparent and institutional framework for Lydian Armenia\u2019s long-term support for the Amulsar surrounding communities.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">As a trusted partner to local communities, Lydian Armenia remains committed to ensuring that the economic benefits generated by the Amulsar Project translate into tangible and lasting development opportunities for the surrounding communities. The Community Development Agreement is a practical expression of this commitment, creating a long-term mechanism to support sustainable development, strengthen local communities, and contribute to the well-being of their residents.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Lydian Armenia announces the signing of a Community Development Agreement with the Government of the Republic of Armenia, represented by the Ministry of Economy, and the enlarged communities of Jermuk, Vayk and Sisian surrounding Amulsar.

The first group of participants to complete the training has received internationally recognized certificates.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">This certification milestone marks an important achievement in the participants\u2019 professional development while also setting a high standard for the next participants joining the program.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">During the certificate award ceremony, Hayk Aloyan, Founder and Managing Director of Lydian Armenia, noted that the internationally recognized certification enables operators to work not only at mines across Armenia but also abroad, including at some of the world\u2019s leading mining companies. At the same time, he expressed hope that the operators would not need to seek employment outside Amulsar.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-gallery has-nested-images columns-default is-cropped wp-block-gallery-6 is-layout-flex wp-block-gallery-is-layout-flex\">\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><a href=\"https:\/\/lydianarmenia.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/08\/1.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"683\" data-id=\"2886\" src=\"https:\/\/lydianarmenia.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/08\/1-1024x683.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-2886\" srcset=\"https:\/\/lydianarmenia.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/08\/1-1024x683.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/lydianarmenia.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/08\/1-300x200.jpg 300w, https:\/\/lydianarmenia.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/08\/1-768x512.jpg 768w, https:\/\/lydianarmenia.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/08\/1-1536x1024.jpg 1536w, https:\/\/lydianarmenia.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/08\/1.jpg 2048w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><\/a><\/figure>\n<\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cPlease always keep safety in mind.

technologies, data, and innovative solutions. However, simply adopting new technologies does not necessarily lead to effective digitalization. What matters is how these technologies are integrated into a mine\u2019s overall operating system and how the data collected is transformed into actionable insights that support decision-making.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Lydian Armenia aims to establish Amulsar as a fully integrated and connected digital mining operation from the very start of operation. The Club of Economic Journalists spoke with the company\u2019s General Manager, Connor Chard, about Amulsar\u2019s digital strategy, data management, the challenges of digital transformation in the mining industry, and the foundations required to unlock the potential of artificial intelligence.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>\u2013 Mr. Chard, as a new mining project, what opportunities does Amulsar offer from a digitalization perspective?<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u2013 As you know, Amulsar is the first and, to date, the only metal deposit discovered in Armenia since independence that is now approaching the start of operations. From a digitalization perspective, this gives us a significant advantage.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">In existing mining operations, new technologies often need to be adapted to infrastructure, systems, and workflows established years ago. At Amulsar, we have the opportunity to design the digital environment from the outset and embed it as an integral part of the mine\u2019s operating model.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">In other words, we have the opportunity to build Amulsar\u2019s \u201cdigital backbone\u201d from the ground up, creating the foundation for a fully integrated digital ecosystem.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>\u2013 What is Lydian Armenia\u2019s digital vision for Amulsar?<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u2013 The full digitalization of Amulsar is a key priority for us. We are already actively working toward this goal so that, from the start of operations, the mine can function as a fully integrated and connected digital operation.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">For us, a digital mine is much more than a collection of individual technologies or software solutions. Our goal is to connect the entire mining value chain within a single digital environment\u2014from equipment and field operations to planning, management, and decision-making.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">This approach enables us to turn data and technology into practical tools that improve operational efficiency and support faster, data-driven decision-making.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>\u2013 You mentioned an \u201cintegrated digital system.\u201d What does this mean in practice?<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u2013 Our approach is built around four core principles.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The first is system integration, ensuring that different functions are connected rather than operating in isolation.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The second is to automate workflows and capture data directly at the source\u2014whether from equipment, sensors, employees, or operational systems.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The third is establishing clear accountability and consistent standards. There must be clarity around who is responsible for the data, how it is managed, and what standards it must meet.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">And the fourth is turning reliable data into actionable insights.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Together, these four principles will provide our team with reliable, actionable information to improve production, manage impacts and costs, and enable data-driven decision-making.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Our team also brings extensive international experience. Many of our specialists have previously worked in similar operating environments and with comparable technologies, and we are now applying that expertise at Amulsar.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>\u2013 What are the main challenges mining companies face on their digital transformation journey?<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u2013 Throughout my career, I have seen mining companies introduce new technologies into systems and operating environments that were never designed to accommodate them.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Companies can invest significant resources and deploy numerous systems and software solutions while generating vast amounts of data. But having more technology and more data does not, in itself, translate into greater operational efficiency or better decision-making.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The underlying challenges are often fundamental: inadequate infrastructure, incomplete or unreliable data, siloed systems, limited integration, and unclear accountability.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Under these conditions, even the most advanced technological solution may fail to deliver the expected results.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Technology creates real value only when it is properly integrated into the broader operating system, aligned with actual workflows, and enables people to make faster, more accurate, and data-driven decisions.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>\u2013 How important is data within this system, and how will it be collected, managed, and used?<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u2013 Data is the foundation of the entire system. Data collection begins at the source\u2014whether that source is equipment, a person, a sensor, or an operational system.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The data then moves through a controlled process into a single, governed platform, where it can be validated, integrated, and made accessible to the people who need it.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Our goal is to transform raw operational data into consistent, reliable, and actionable information.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">This enables better decision-making today while also creating the foundation for advanced analytics and AI-driven predictive capabilities in the future.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>\u2013 Artificial intelligence is now a key part of the digital agenda across nearly every industry. What role do you see it playing in the future of mining and, specifically, at Amulsar?<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u2013 Despite significant investment in recent years, the mining industry still has considerable work ahead on its digital transformation journey. Data quality remains a persistent challenge, while many technology investments have yet to deliver the results originally expected.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">At the same time, mining companies are preparing to significantly increase their investment in artificial intelligence. AI undoubtedly has enormous potential, but without a strong digital foundation, it cannot deliver meaningful value.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">If systems are not connected and the underlying data is incomplete or unreliable, AI will simply generate answers faster based on poor-quality information.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">That is why, before focusing on the potential of AI, we need to make sure the right digital foundations are in place. This is exactly where our efforts at Amulsar are focused today.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>\u2013 Once Amulsar becomes operational, how will this digitalization translate into the mine\u2019s day-to-day operations?<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u2013 Technology itself is not the end goal. The goal is to make the mine more efficient, predictable, and effective in its day-to-day operations.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">When people have timely access to reliable information, systems are connected, and workflows are streamlined and automated wherever possible, we can gain a clearer, real-time understanding of what is happening across the operation and make faster, better-informed decisions.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">This should help us manage production and costs more effectively, respond more quickly to changing conditions, and ultimately improve the quality of decision-making across the operation.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Our goal is for Amulsar\u2019s digital system to go beyond simply showing us what has already happened. Over time, it should help us better understand what is happening now and anticipate what is likely to happen next.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">That is where the real value of digitalization lies.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Modern mining is difficult to imagine without digital technologies, data, and innovative solutions.
