Season results 2019

Field work lasted from 08.06.2019 to 20.09.2019. All planned tasks were completed.

The methodology of field work was expanded, XRF application was extended to exploration trenches (for greater reliability of operational calculation of reserves in the model, pending laboratory data).  A 32km² low-altitude aeromagnetic survey was carried out (combined with 2018 data – 40km²). The instrumental survey covered most of the area planned for resource estimation.

10484.4 lm of exploration trenches were documented and sampled.

A total of 2489 furrow samples were collected. The total weight of samples amounted to 42872 kg. They were delivered to St. Petersburg.

171 lkm of geological routes for geologic mapping were traversed.

Toward the end of the season drilling works resumed, the second stage of drilling. We drilled 23 boreholes with a total meterage of 9084 lm., conducted a complex of GIS, took 2407 core samples.
