Overview

Lydian is a diversified UK mineral exploration and development company, with expertise employing “first mover” strategies in international emerging environments. The Company is currently focused on Eastern Europe, exploring the Caucasus and Balkan regions, and is developing advanced precious and base metal assets located in Armenia and in Kosovo.

Lydian’s management team has a track record of success in grassroots discovery, acquiring and developing undervalued assets, and in building companies. Lydian has a strong social agenda and a unique understanding of the complex social and political issues that characterise emerging environments.

The Company’s two main projects are gold at Amulsar in Armenia, and zinc, lead, silver and gold at Drazhnje in Kosovo. Lydian has a pipeline of promising gold and base metal exploration projects.

Lydian’s three largest shareholders are International Finance Corporation (part of the World Bank Group), Newmont Mining, and the European Bank of Reconstruction and Development.

Lydian is quoted on the Toronto Stock Exchange under TSX:LYD



Investment Catalysts

  • Lydian has multiple licenses granted for highly prospective projects in Eastern Europe,
    including a new and extremely promising gold discovery at Amulsar, Armenia.

  • Lydian is focused on opportunistic exploration and development, and maintaining
    a pipeline of promising new discoveries.

  • The Company's management team has a proven track record in discovery, high-quality
    project acquisition, and in quick advancement to feasibility stages.

  • Lydian's business model is geared to advancing projects to decision points, where
    the most favoured exit strategy would be to seek a local partner and maintain
    an equity position from a producing mine. Alternatively, the company may opt to:
    • joint Venture the project with a major;
    • or float off an asset, offering it to existing and new shareholders.



Lydian’s 2010 Objectives

  • 16000m drill programme at Amulsar to cover resource extension, resource upgrade and exploratory drilling.
  • Commence Feasibility Study at Amulsar to cover metallurgy, environment (HLF) and geotechnical.
  • Secure assets in new environments.
  • Build investor outreach and shareholder base further.
