Azerbaijan’s State Statistical Committee released its 2026 Industry in Azerbaijan yearbook on 1 October. The table on industrial employment lists 2,447 people in metal-ore mining at the end of 2025, compared with 1,987 at the end of 2024.

The publication covers mining, manufacturing, energy and water-related industries and includes regional and product data. These are year-end employment counts for the stated years; the release does not describe them as current 2026 staffing or as a measure of ore output.
