Artem Volynets featured on Total Market Solutions: “Hope is not a strategy”

ACG Metals’ founder and CEO sat down with Total Market Solutions to discuss the company’s remarkable 18-month track record, the imminent commissioning of copper production at Gediktepe, and the road ahead for one of London’s most dynamic new mining companies.

In a interview with Sarah Lowther of Total Market Solutions, Artem Volynets made one thing unmistakably clear: ACG Metals operates on execution, not aspiration. When asked whether the company is “hopeful” of becoming a copper producer in the first half of this year, Volynets was direct.
 
“Hope is not a strategy. We are very much executing on time and on budget to get to production in the middle of this year.”
 
That confidence is grounded in a rapid sequence of milestones that would be remarkable for any company, let alone one that has been operational for just 18 months. Since its main board listing on the London Stock Exchange, ACG Metals has acquired the polymetallic Gediktepe Mine in Turkey, commenced weekly gold and silver sales, exceeded its own production guidance, and most recently, been admitted to the MSCI World Micro Cap Index.
 
Gediktepe’s location on Türkiye’s Mediterranean coast, 3,000 km from the Middle East conflict, provides operational stability, while ongoing geopolitical tensions continue to underpin long-term demand for copper. As a consolidator from day one, ACG Metals is actively pursuing further acquisitions and exploring a secondary exchange listing to improve liquidity and broaden investor access.
