Founded in 2005 the company is registered in the British Crown dependency of Jersey but headquartered in Greenwood Village, Colorado, United States.

Its ongoing active development is the Amulsar Gold Project located in south-central Armenia and 100% owned by Lydian International.

In 2011, the company was issued a permit for prospecting and development of another gold site, Kela (Qela) in neighboring Georgia, the administrative area of Zoti Village, Chokhatauri. According to Lydian International the Kela project at the present time "does not comprise a material aspect of the Corporation’s business operations." Provided by Wikipedia
