Qeshlagh Mil IOCG

Projects

Qeshlagh Mil district with the area of 18/73 km2 is located in Markazi province, near the city of Saveh. This area is located in the Urmia-Dokhtar magmatic belt. Access roads to the area is via Bouyin Zahra- Saveh which about 55 km, beside the white cement Plant of Saveh, with a deviation to the right, first along the Hajib-Kharaghan road with a length of 16.3 km (dirt road) and then to the right in the direction of the dirt road of Mil-Kharaghan from Kharaghan section and within 7/7 km, we reach the area.

Reserve Amount

Gold mineralization dimension is a vein with a stock work border of 2 to 20 meters thickness and more than fifty meters depth and the length of five hundred to six hundred meters continuously in the district. The grade of gold is between 10 to 3100 ppb and copper mineralization is as several copper veins and copper stock work zones. The veins and zones have over 50 m long and molybdenum grade is between 1 to 189 ppm, copper grade is between 0.1 to 1.5 percent, and arsenic is between 10 to 1575 ppm.

Proven Reserve

According to the exploration operation in this district, the proven reserve of gold is 301,000 tons ore with the average grade of 0.85 (ppm) and the proven reserves of copper ore is 123,500 tons with the average grade of 1.22 percent. Probable gold reserves is about 800,000 tons with the average grade of 0.5 (ppm) and the probable copper reserve is about 300,000 tons with the average grade of 0.5 percent.

Facilities

There are water and electricity in a few kilometers of area. Access road to area is a dirt road.
