    1aaa90b5 Geoteam has contributed around AMD 720 million (USD 1.6
    million) to communities adjacent to Amulsar in land rental fees.

    As part of company disclosure policy Geoteam, a fully owned subsidiary
    of Lydian International informs all stakeholders about the payments to
    local governments at the end of each year. The communities of Saravan,
    Gorayk and Gndevaz have received overall about AMD 720 million from
    Geoteam in land rental payments in 2008- 2014.

    Land rental payments in 2014:
    . Saravan about AMD 205.6 million
    . Gorayk about AMD 171.5 million
    . Gndevaz about AMD 63.1 million

    Amulsar gold project mine construction hasn't started yet, but the
    company has been renting the community lands for exploration
    activities, as well as various other needs, including tree nurseries,
    road constructions, etc.

    During the last 4-5 years the local budgets of Amulsar adjacent
    communities have increased significantly from AMD 2-3 million in
    2006-2008 to AMD 60 up to 205 million in 2013-2014. Some of the money
    is reinvested by the communities into several infrastructure repair
    projects as well as joint social development projects in the
    communities in partnership with Geoteam.

    In 2014 Geoteam has also allocated over AMD 900 million on
    environmental and social studies, research and other activities,
    including exploration rehabilitation, social development projects and
    more.

    In 2014 around AMD 135 million was allocated for social development
    projects in the communities including agricultural development through
    10 greenhouses, animal husbandry project in Gorayk, fruit drier in
    Gndevaz. Infrastructure and facilities such as: school sanitation and
    canteen in Saravan, health post and dentistry in Gorayk, playground in
    Gndevaz. In all three communities Geoteam has implemented educational
    and sports projects such as scholarship support to 12 students
    studying mining engineering and geology, dance groups and choirs for
    kids, sports and educational projects for schools and
    kindergartens. School sanitation and canteen were renovated and two
    playgrounds were built in Jermuk.

    `Geoteam's contribution to local budgets of the communities has been
    significant in the recent years. We have also invested into various
    development and capacity building projects in the communities. We
    believe that active partnership with our communities will bring
    success to Amulsar project and build prosperous and strong communities
    around the project. The most tangible benefits, however, are yet to
    come, with the construction of the mine due to start next year, with
    around 1500 jobs during construction and 700 jobs throughout the life
    of the mine. Amulsar is not just an investment project of 420 million
    dollars but also an opportunity to build a modern, environmentally and
    socially well managed world-class mining operation in Armenia that
    will benefit the communities and the country', says Hayk Aloyan,
    Managing Director of Geoteam CJSC.
