| Location of the Karchiga Project |
|
The Karchiga Copper-Gold deposit is a mid-Palaeozoic aged metamorphosed volcanic hosted massive sulphide deposit (VHMS) located in the extreme north east of the Republic of Kazakhstan, within 40km of the Chinese border. The project is readily accessible and is situated on gentle undulating terrain.

| History of the Karchiga Project |
|
The deposit was originally exploited by Chinese artisans in ancient times and was re-discovered and explored by Soviet geologists during the 1940’s and 50’s. The Soviet era exploration included more than 100 cored drill holes and an exploration shaft into the ore body.
