Resource Expansion Potential A Driving Factor
Mineralised limits have not been determined in the strike and dip directions in four deposit areas Areas between the drilled deposits could contain additional as yet hidden undrilled mineral
- Maly Kurumkon / Flangovy and Gorny could be one
deposit - 6 km in length
- Ikenskoe / Sobolevsky could link to Kubuk forming
a second deposit - 6 km in length Overall prospective potential is high
The Resource Is The Driving Impact Factor
Resources And Reserves Set
- The Scale of the Project
- The Project Economics
The Resource Upside Must Be Considered Base Metal Projects Are Expensive To Construct The Selected Design Must Include A Visionary Approach To Define A Best Case Design The Life Of The Mine Is A Key Factor (15 Years) Definition Of The Blueprint Is Key
- Establishes The Global Potential Of The Project
- Establishes The Design And Work Programme To
Production
The Blueprint – Sets The Objective
Improved Metallurgical Recoveries New Discoveries At Four Deposits Resource And Reserve Update Favourable Russian regulatory changes Update of Capital and Operating Costs Trade Off Studies Delineated Optimal Production Scenarios Generated by AMC
- Substantial Cost Savings
- Conducted During the Licence Approval
Phase
- Audit Required
