II . “ASSAREL-MEDET” MINING AND PROCESSING COMPLEX

is the first, largest and leading Bulgarian mining company for open pit mining and copper

ore processing providing more than 50% of national copper production. The company is

a major factor which contributes for the social and economic development of the mu-

nicipality of Panagyurishte and the district of Pazardzhik and shapes the public image of

the region. Being one of the leading industrial companies which contributes significantly

to the gross domestic product of the country it is of great importance for the Bulgarian

economy. The company produces and offers high quality copper concentrate and copper

cathodes to the domestic and foreign markets.

“Assarel-Medet” JSC

annually processes around 13 million tons of copper ore ensuring sustainable and stable

development and production through maximum utilization of the available mineral re-

sources of the “Asarel” deposit.

The history of the leader

in the mining industry dates back to December, the 29th, 1964 when the “Medet” min-

ing and processing complex was officially launched. The technological mining and pro-

cessing plant of “Assarel-Medet” was founded in 1986 when the complex of “Medet”

(1964-1994) was combined with the capacities of the newly established mining pit and

processing plant of “Asarel” and was officially launched on 6th of December, 1989. Since

1991 Assarel-Medet has been operating as a joint company with main activities focused

on open pit mining and copper pyrite ore processing, biochemical copper extraction and

adjacent operations. Based on the old production workshops and facilities a state com-

mercial company “Eco Medet” JSC was established in 1997 to eliminate old ecological

damage and to work for recultivation of the region.

The chronicles of the company

contain the first exploitation concession for natural resources in the country dating back

fully completed a program financed by the government and based on an agreement with

the World Bank whose objective is remediation of old ecological damage caused in the

period preceding the company’s privatization. Assarel-Medet makes significant annual

investments in new technologies, ecological projects, human resources development and

measures to guarantee high quality occupational health and safety conditions. For the

period 1999-2013 the investments made in these areas amount to more than 700 million

leva as the total investment amount in realized and new ecological projects is more than

70 million leva. The company has three treatment plants, one of which has been built built

after the company’s privatization.

Assarel-Medet JSC is the first Bulgarian company

which was awarded in 2005 an Investor Class A Certificate by InvestBulgaria Agency for

its large-scale project for modernization of production. The company implemented unique

for the country mining equipment and advanced flotation equipment produced by world

leading manufacturers. Automation systems for technological process management and

control that guarantee high efficiency, environmental sustainability and top operational

results were implemented in the mining pit and processing plant of “Assarel”.

III. MAIN AREAS IN THE CORPORATE DEVELOPMENT STRATEGY OF THE “ASSAREL-

MEDET” GROUP*

*The “Assarel-Medet” Group includes “Assarel-Medet” JSC, “Assarel-Investment”

JSC and all the other subsidiaries and joint ventures.

In 2010 the Board of Directors in Assarel-Medet JSC verified a new corporate

development strategy which covers the following eight areas:

The first strategic area which is also of highest priority is “Assarel- sustainable

mining industry and environment” and it comprises more than 80% of the Group’s

financial and material resources. Investment in technology innovation, maximum

complex and in-depth utilization of resources and reserve and resource growth through

exploration and annual acquisitions of an average amount of 100 million leva have a

main role in this area. Priority projects include local and international projects focused

on production efficiency enhancement and long-term mining production sustainability

which is environmentally friendly and ensures occupational health and safety.

In 2011 four new investment objects were opened with a total investment cost of 150

million leva. Innovation and technology replacement are of high priority in the “Assarel-

sustainable mining industry and environment” strategic area. High growth of investment

in this area will remain stable in the coming years as well.

Investment projects in the other strategic areas should be realized in partnership with

other strategic investors such as producers of goods and services with good reputation,

know-how and good market positions. The Assarel-Medet Group should have at least

40% participation in such projects allocating up to 20% of its unrestricted capital and

assets (including investments as well) to them. Shareholders of the Assarel-Medet Group

are also invited to participate in these projects.

fication projects. Detailed information about any preliminary research conducted within

this area can be provided upon request.

An economic assessment of the gasification of Panagyurishte municipality has been

made and is ready for implementation in collaboration with the Municipality and the in-

dustrial cluster “Srednogorie-Med”. Until the project gives any results, however, the pos-

sibility for the construction of gas distribution network to address the needs of potential

consumers like the Assarel Medet Group, other local companies and municipal objects is

also actively considered.

The fourth strategic area is “Assarel-Tourism and Sport”.

Through its subsidiary Thracian hoteliers ltd this strategic area will cover projects which

aim to promote the development of the national and international hunting tourism and to

the municipality.

Detailed information about any preliminary research conducted within this area can be

provided upon request.

The fifth strategic area “Assarel- Education” includes investigation of opportunities

and realization of different initiatives through public-private partnerships which aim to

enhance the quality of education in the municipality and the region of central Sredna Gora

Mountain, and consider a joint foundation of a college or an affiliate of the University of

Mining and Geology-“St. Ivan Rilksi” for preparation of professionals together with Leo-

ben University for mining and metallurgy, Austria.

The sixth strategic area is “Assarel- Culture”.

A project for treasury hall construction and conduction of annual exhibitions of the Pa-

nagyurishte Gold Treasure in the Museum of History, Panagyurishte, has already been

A major overhaul of St. George’s Church in Panagyurishte is also considered. Prepara-

tion and realization of other projects and initiatives by “Videlina-1865” community center

and the Museum of History which include establishment of a museum of Todor Dimitrov,

preparation of theme exhibitions, archeological inquiries, creation of a new botanic gar-

den, exhibition of mineral samples from the region and a number of other projects which

will contribute to the development of the cultural tourism in the municipality should also

take place.

A part of these projects will be financed through donations by the Group and its share-

holders; another part will be realized in a public-private partnership with the municipality

of Panagyurishte.

The seventh strategic area is “Assarel- Health”.

A public-private project which will be conducted jointly with the municipality of Panagy-

urishte shall address the following issues: building and development of a modern radio-

therapy center, delivery of a linear accelerator for treatment of a wide range of diseases

All Group’s investments in real estate and financial instruments will be covered by the

eighth strategic area “Assarel- Real Estate and Finance”.

The Foundation “Assarel” was established to manage and conduct the traditionally

significant amount of charitable activities of the company.

The idea that modern business should be socially responsible is reflected in all the

aspects of the new corporate strategy for long-term development of the Group which

aims to establish Assarel-Medet as a leading organization, largest employer and a driv-

ing factor for positive development in the municipality of Panagyurishte, the district of

Pazardzhik and in the country as a whole.

An important result of the new strategy implementation will be the on-time creation

of hundreds of new permanent job positions on top of the existing ones in the mother

company and its subsidiaries long time before the mining activities in the region are over.

Potential projects identified in the Strategy for Corporate Development of the Group are

given different priorities depending on their geographical location. Starting from projects

with highest priority they are graded as follows:

1. Geographic area of the company and the municipality of Panagyurishte

2. The country

3. Neighbor countries

4. Other countries

Investigation of the potential of new technologies to enhance the complex and in-depth extraction of useful components from the ore and the waste

During the period 2012-2013 products from flotation and mining pit were tested in

order to determine if they contain rare elements and useful metals. Based on the obtained

results it was decided that further analyses of base metal flotation and waste of 5th order

according to the Roentgen - fluorescent analysis (RFA) should be carried out.

In order to collect reliable information for the content and distribution of Molybdenum

Mo in these products more than 2000 samples were taken and analysed in 2013 and the

first two months of 2014. On the grounds of the obtained results it was determined that

a project for the realization of final molybdenum concentrate should be considered.

Different actions were taken to investigate the potential for extraction of useful

elements from the final waste of the Processing Plant which include drilling on the wall

of the tailings pond of “Lyulyakovitsa” and laboratory analyses of the taken samples.

At this very moment new technologies for mining of the useful elements from the final

waste of the Processing plant are being investigated and developed.

Preferably, the project shall be realized in cooperation with a strategic partner.

PROJECT № 8 Construction of Wind Farms

In relation to Bulgaria’s accession to the European Union our country harmonized its

policies with those of the member-states and transposed the European Union law. A

main priority in the energy policy of the European Union is promoting the use of energy

from renewable sources. As a result, a large number of directives and measures have

been developed and implemented within the European Union to encourage construction

and development of renewable energy installations and to promote any investment in

this area.

Since the beginning of 2005 the Assarel - Medet Group has started investigating

the potential of building a wind farm in the region of the Sashtinska Sredna Gora

Mountain. Preliminary studies were performed to determine appropriate areas with good

Lisetz Peak in the Sredna Gora Mountain

perspectives and wind characteristics. In the period from 2005 to 2008 terrains of the

main peaks region of the Sashtinska Sredna Gora Mountain were explored and evaluated

on a summarized indices basis. The study covered about 200 square kilometers.

In order to achieve the goals of the study the following tasks had to be performed:

• Selection of areas with presumably high wind potential;

• Obtaining the geographic coordinates and elevations of the terrains;

• Exploration of the peculiarities of the adjacent landscape and vegetation;

• Investigation of power distribution and power supply network in the considered

region;

• Examination of transportation infrastructure;

• Clarification of ownership and land statute.

To start first means to be on time!

The above described activities let Lisets Peak be determined in March 2008 as the most

perspective region that most fully fulfills the goals of the study. Its geographic location

is a prerequisite for favorable wind conditions. The peak is located at an altitude of 1,372

meters and the Sub-Balkan Valley is located to the north of it. Thus, winds descending

along the southern slopes of the Stara Planina Mountain accelerate in the valleys that

surround the Sredna Gora Mountain and this ensures favorable wind conditions on the

peak. Being 1 250 meter long, the ridge of Lisetz peak is also opencast and flat which

provides a sufficient area for the construction of wind farm facilities.

Moreover, the lack of high vegetation reduces future initial costs for wind generators

sites formation and provides better conditions for wind energy production.

The state of the electric network and transport infrastructure in the region is also crucial

for the future investment efficiency. At the moment it can be reached via a dirt road

which can be adapted for heavy facilities transportation after some small investment is

made. Lisetz peak provides also favorable conditions for electricity network connection.

There is a 110 kV power line passing 2 km away from the peak which currently addresses

the needs of Assarel-Medet JSC but may also be used as a connection between the wind

farm and the electricity distribution network.

In the period after March, 2008 measurement of wind capacity was conducted at

five different points via wind monitoring met masts. Its purpose was to verify or reject

the appropriateness of the explored terrains. The results of the modeling process

demonstrate that the explored region is appropriate for the construction of a wind farm

with capacities in the range of 10-20 MW.

The construction of a wind farm will result in environmentally friendly production

and enhancement of the competitive advantages of the local economy. In addition, the

project shall contribute to the optimal utilization of the capacities of the local renewable

power sources.

PROJECT № 9 Construction of a Photovoltaic Station- 2MW

Projects related to energy production from renewable sources play an important role

in the strategy for corporate development of the Assarel-Medet Group. Therefore, a

preliminary study of the investment potential of a 42-acre terrain situated in the Mulei

area is being carried out. The terrain comprises real estate, land and buildings which

are owned by “Assarel-Medet” JSC. It is located outside the borders of the settlement

of the municipality of Panagyurishte, in a landed property 047366 of the territory of

Panagyurishte with unified classification of administrative-territorial and territorial units

55302. The project is at a stage of a feasibility study and development of a concept.

In order to implement the program for utilization of energy from renewable energy

sources the “Corporate Development” Department of “Assarel-Medet” JSC conducted

preliminary studies on the territory of the municipalities of Panagyurishte and Strelcha

aiming at selecting terrains which are appropriate for the construction of photovoltaic

station compatible with the terrain’s common physical and geographical conditions. As

a result of the conducted studies a 42-acre terrain was selected which is situated in the

Mulei area near the town of Panagyurishte. The terrain is appropriate for the construction

of a 2 MW photovoltaic plant and complies with all physical and geographical requirements

for maximum utilization of sun radiation.

Within the borders of the terrain technical infrastructure including a distribution line

layout and a transformer substation has been built. The procedure for land use change

has been completed and the conducted feasibility study proves the profitability of the

investment.

The project includes building of an installation with a capacity of 2 MW. The choice of a

technical solution and an executor will be made in such a way to ensure both the highest

possible correlation between productivity and investment cost and cash flows for twenty

years in accordance with the new law in Bulgaria for renewable energy sources.

There are also possibilities for building a photovoltaic station on the roof construction

of the “Assarel” Processing plant.

The company is interested in investing in completed projects for photovoltaic stations

as well.

PROJECT № 14 Project for Multifunctional Gymnasium

A project for multifunctional gymnasium with a capacity of around 2000 seats has been

launched. The investor of the project is “Sport Invest Panagyurishte” Ltd established as

a partnership between the municipality of Panagyurishte and the Assarel-Medet Group.

The new gymnasium is expected to be one of the most modern facilities in Bulgaria.

For the preliminary preparation of the project advantage was taken of the skills and

knowledge of the specialists who have realized and are currently managing “Arena

Armeets” gymnasium in Sofia and “Arena Samokov” gymnasium in Samokov. The

specific requirements of different international federations for various types of sports have

been investigated and implemented in the project for the gymnasium of Panagyurishte

which grants the town the possibility to host even European and World championships

in the future.

The project foresees the built-up area of the multifunctional gymnasium to be 5 147

square meters and the playground itself to be of a size of 25x44 meters. Two tribunes

will be built around the playground- northern and southern, with a total capacity of 1562

seats. If it’s needed additional 400 seats can be assembled to the tribunes. All of this

will make the organization of concerts, exhibitions and other forums in the gymnasium

also possible. In compliance with the international requirements there will be a separate

entrance to the boxes, commentators booths and technical offices. The visitors will be

orientated towards a special bus parking lot.

In the lobby of the building a ticket office and an information center, a cloak room and

a cafe with 40 seats will be separated. The project foresees equipping a restaurant with

100 seats. The restaurant will have also a terrace with a view towards the lake of the city

park of Pnagyurishte where there will be places for 50 visitors. The facility will have also

a conference hall which can be used for press conferences and seminars.

In addition to the main hall there will be also a smaller one which will be used for

trainings by the sportsmen and warming up before competition. The playground in the

small hall will have the same size as the one in the main hall but there will be no tribunes

around it. A gym and a shop for sport goods have also been planned to be opened. A

separete parking lot for visitors with a capacity of 50 cars and 5 buses will also be built.

The exterior appearance of the building will be consistent with the traditional

architecture in Panagyurishte and will visually and functionally fit the area of the city

park. The space around the gymnasium will be additionally cultivated and planted. One of

the attractions of the complex will be the improvement of the park lake. A unique singing

fountain which will be working during the summer months has been planned to be built

in it. During the winter a modern installation will maintain an ice slide.

The realization, exploitation and management of the project require other partners and

coinvestors from the municipality and the country also to be attracted.

PROJECT № 15 Project for a Modern Medical Complex in Panagyurishte

The project for construction of a modern medical complex in Panagyurishte is realized

in a public-private partnership. It is conducted by “Assarel-Panagyurishte-Health” Ltd

where major partners are “Assarel-Medet” JSC, “Business Sustainable Development

06” Ltd and the municipality of Panagyurishte. Up to this moment more than 100

physical persons- mostly entrepreneurs, doctors and medical workers- have a stake in

the company.

The project foresees extension of the building of the “Sabo Nikolov” hospital with a

new building which will accommodate a modern oncological center, equipped with the

latest technologies in this area enabling not only early diagnostics of the oncological

deseases but also initiation of the treatment within several days after the disease is found.

For this purpose the complex will have two linear accelerators and an apparatus for X-ray

therapy at its disposal. Innovative treatment methods will be applied as the main idea will

be closing the cycle “diagnostics-treatment-physiotherapy-control”. In addition to the

departments for medical oncology and radiation therapy, departments for hemodialysis,

invasive cardiology and specialized surgery- urological, thoracic, endocrinological and

plastic surgery, have also been planned to be developed.

Realization, exploitation and management of the project require the participation of

strategic partners from the municipality, the country and abroad.
