Projects

• Genesis: Skarn (skarn of copper, molybdenum and gold), vein (gold bearing hematite silicate veins associated with probable intrusive bodies – copper veins with amounts of gold and molybdenum), mass (mineralization of copper with molybdenum in hornfels and granites units which in the upper part is as oxide  and in the lower parts is in the form of sulfide) and porphyry skarn (probable)
• Paragenesis: Chalcopyrite, Chalcocite, Malachite, Azurite, Molybdenite, Neotesite, Pyrite, Goethite, Hematite
• Gangue type: Silica, Carbonate minerals, Manganese, Hematite and Goethite
• Geochemical Paragenesis: Au, Cu, Mo, Pb, Zn, As, Sb, Ag

• Host rock: Granodiorite, Granite, Hornfels, Metasandstone, Metashale, Schist and Sandstone units.
• Age of host rock: Eocene-Paleocene
• Alteration: Alunitization and Jarositization, Lemonitisation, Silicification

Grade of the ore in the district for copper is from 0.5 to 2.9 percent, molybdenum is between 50 to 13300 ppm, gold is from 100 to 15270 ppb, maximum of silver is 180 ppm, maximum of lead is 3.5 percent and maximum of zinc is 1.8 percent.

The dimensions of the ore containing zone are several square kilometers. Probably geological reserve is about 10 million tons of copper with the grade of 0.5 to 1 percent, gold with the grade of 0.25 to 1 ppm, as well as molybdenum with approximate grade of 50 ppm. More exploratory operations should be performed to prove this reserve.

According to geological and geophysical operations (IP & RS), as well as surface and depth excavations, it appears there are significant layer-mass oxide and sulfide deposits.

Trench excavations have been done in three regions with approximate length of 511 meters. In area 1, the average copper grade is about 0.5 percent, gold grade is about 0.5 ppm and molybdenum grade is about 76 ppm. The approximate length of trenches in the region 2 is 541 meters and the average copper grade is about 0.56 percent, the gold grade is about 0.25 ppm and the molybdenum is about 5 ppm. Approximate length of excavated trenches in the area 3 is 148 meters and taken samples from these trenches have not yet been analyzed.

Water, electricity and asphalted road are close to the area.
