Voikaro-Schuchinskaya zone
This includes three separate areas:
Ozerno-Pyatirechenskaya area
Exploration has been completed on the Ozerniy block. Complex gold, platinum and palladium ores were found here, with palladium-equivalent grades of 1.15g/t and Category P1 resources of about 22.3 tonnes contained metal plus copper at 0.31 per cent. with resources of about 6,000 tonnes.
Schuchinskaya area
Exploration has been completed on three blocks, geologically similar to Novogodnee Monto. Economic magnetite ore resources have been established.
Rudniye Gorki area
Detailed geochemical and geophysical exploration has been carried out on an area of 44km2. Anomalies of copper, molybdenum, gold and silver have been found and tested by shallow mapping drill holes. A thick (10 to 50 metre) zone of propylitisation with sulphides (up to 10 per cent.) and magnetite-skarn. Copper grades (from an incomplete set of assays received) reach 0.5 per cent., total iron of 36.8 per cent. and gold of 1g/t. Currently analytical work continues as well as interpretation of geological data.
