The 27 km² (12-block) copper-molybdenum exploration area is located in the Abay Region of the Republic of Kazakhstan, within the Zharma-Saur Metallogenic Belt, associated with commercial concentrations of copper and molybdenum.
The asset is at the Advanced Exploration stage. Estimated Inferred Resources (P1) amount to 270,000 tonnes of copper and 160,000 tonnes of molybdenum.
Key Project Characteristics:
- Commodities: Copper, Molybdenum
- Location: Abay Region, Kazakhstan
- Area: 27 km²
- Stage: Advanced Exploration
- Inferred Resources (P1): Cu — 270,000 t; Mo — 160,000 t
- Priority Zones: 3
- Exploration Program: 3-year program
- Estimated Exploration Budget: USD 1.3 million
Key Asset Features
- Located within the Zharma-Saur Metallogenic Belt, associated with copper and molybdenum mineralization and known deposits.
- Situated in close proximity to active copper and gold exploration licenses.
- Three priority ore zones were delineated within the license boundary through an assessment of the area's mineralization potential using advanced remote sensing technology.
- Following the assessment, the area targeted for further exploration was reduced from 27 km² to 11 km², allowing exploration activities to focus on the most prospective zones.
