In 2020, the Company obtained exploration licences for the Yttakhsky, Samoyedsky and Mastakh-Salinsky prospects within the Arylakhskaya area. In 2021–2022, prospecting drilling was completed at prospects identified by geophysical and geochemical prospecting across areal zones. In 2023, after the ongoing laboratory tests are completed, a report on the area’s potential and an opinion on further prospecting will be prepared.
Area: Alenuyskaya
Minerals: gold-copper porphyry ores.
Location: Zabaykalsky Territory, Alexandrovo-Zavodsky District.
In 2020, the Company obtained exploration licences for the Severo-Alenuysky and Yuzhno-Alenuysky prospects within the Alenuyskaya area. In 2022, prospecting drilling was completed at prospects identified by geophysical and geochemical prospecting across areal zones, confirming signs of copper porphyry mineralisation that extends beyond the licence area. The Company applied for a subsoil licence for the adjacent Tsentralno-Alenuyskaya area, with plans to continue prospecting in 2023.
