Presentations & Company Media

Current Operations

Amur Minerals currently has two projects in the far east of Russia, a region rich in mineral resources:

Kun-Manie - world class Ni, Cu sulphide deposit

Kustak - Ni, Cu, Mo extension of the Kun-Manie license, a 20 year exploration and mining licence


 

Kun-Manie

The Kun-Manie licence area is approximately 950 km² and is located 700 km northeast of the capital city of Blagoveshchensk located on the Chinese border. Amur Minerals commenced seasonal field work on the licence in 2004 and has already established total measured, indicated and inferred resources of over 250,000 tones of contained nickel and 72,500 tons of copper.

 

Geological Setting

The dominant geological feature within the licence is the Kun-Manie Massif, which is a metagabbro-anorthosite intrusive of Early Archaean age. The massif hosts a series of mafic and ultramafic nearly flat lying sills, some of which contain economic amounts of sulphide which are enriched with nickel, copper, platinum and palladium. The majority of the identified sills are located within the 40 kilometre long by 2 kilometre wide Krumkon Trend which represents the primary exploration target. Mineralisation includes nickel bearing pentlandite, pyrrhotite and copper-bearing chalcopyrite occurring in both disseminated and veinlet form. To date, more than 100 such sills ranging in thickness from less than a metre to more than 60 metres have been identified within the trend, although not all contain sulphides.

 

 

Work carried out to date

Work carried out to date on the Kun-Manie licence including geophysics, diamond core drilling, trenching and geological mapping which has identified four mineralised targets; the Vodorazdelny, Ikenskoe, Maly Krumkon and Falcon zones, three of which warrant further exploration as the limits of the mineralisation have not been identified.  The four zones are located within a 15 kilometre long segment of the Krumkon Trend.  An additional three drill targets known as Chornie Ispelene, Yan Hegd and Kubuk (also referred to as Ata) have been identified.  Chornie Ispelene and Kubuk lie within the trend whilst the vertically oriented Yan Hegd is located approximately 8 kilometres to its north.  Approximately 50% of the Krumkon Trend remains to be examined by reconnaissance work where existing Soviet data indicates potential exists to identify additional drill targets.

 

Kustak

In February 2007, Amur acquired the Kustakskaya Project, immediately to the east of the Kun-Manie licence and across the Amur Oblast and Khabarovsk Krai border. This 1,034 square kilometre, 25 year exploration and production licence contains two geological terrains. Each terrain contains a different mineralisation type target. The southern half of the licence is interpreted to be a continuation of the Krumkon Trend identified within the Kun-Manie exploration licence. The northern half of the licence area contains Mesozoic granitic intrusives wherein historical Russian results indicate the potential for copper, molybdenum, cobalt and minor nickel to be present. The Company will undertake field exploration of this licence area in 2008 in accordance with the terms of the licence.
