ArmInfo. UK domiciled Lydian International Limited is implementing the largest industrial project in Armenia – Amulsar Gold Project. The company plans US$370 capital investments in the Amulsar Project. The groundbreaking ceremony held in August 2016 marked an important milestone as the company moved to construction activities. Ten years have passed since the launch of the project. Lydian Armenia (legal successor of Geoteam CJSC) Managing Director Hayk Aloyan believes that those ten years appear to be the hardest for the company. During that period, the company laid foundation based on good international industry practices that require a big number of environmental, social and industrial risk management tools. These commitments are strictly observed, as the Project involves not only private shareholders and international investment funds, but also such authoritative organizations as IFC and EBRD – the company’s institutional investors for whom reputation risks are inadmissible. Hayk Aloyan shares his views about the path passed and the prospects of the Project in an interview with ArmInfo’s economic analyst Emmanuil Mkrtchyan.
