Central Asia Metals Hits 2025 Guidance, Tightens Sasa Operations and Ramps Up Exploration Drive

The latest update is out from Central Asia Metals ( (GB:CAML) ).

Central Asia Metals reported that both its Kounrad copper operation and Sasa zinc-lead mine delivered 2025 production within guidance, with Kounrad producing 13,311 tonnes of copper and Sasa outputting 17,881 tonnes of zinc-in-concentrate and 25,156 tonnes of lead-in-concentrate, while maintaining strong safety performance, ending the year with one lost time injury at Kounrad and none at Sasa, and closing 2025 with $80.1m in cash. The company has begun implementing a comprehensive efficiency programme at Sasa, including headcount reductions and enhanced orebody understanding and mine planning, exceeded its 2026 target for environmentally preferable tailings storage ahead of schedule, and set 2026 production guidance that reflects gradual decline at Kounrad but rising expectations at Sasa, alongside an expanded exploration push in Kazakhstan and an increased investment in Aberdeen Minerals’ Arthrath project, underscoring its dual strategy of optimising existing assets while building future growth options in base and battery metals.
