Oxus Mining Plc. plans to mine at least 190,000 Troy ounces or 6.1 tonnes of gold at the Amantaytau field in Uzbekistan in 2004, the company said in a press release.

Oxus started to mine the deposit in August 2003 and expects to recover its first gold from ore at the end of December. It is thought the gold will not cost more than $106 an ounce to produce.
