Amur Minerals currently has three projects in the far east of Russia, a region rich in mineral resources.
Kun-Manie - Ni, Cu sulphide deposit
Kustak - Ni, Cu, Mo extension of the Kun-Manie license, a 20 year exploration and mining licence
Anadjakan - copper gold exploration license, potential copper porphyry system
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.
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.
Anadjakan
The Anadjakan licence covers an area of 250 square kilometres and is valid for a term of five years, convertible to a 20 year mining licence following a commercial discovery.
The licence is located in the Khabarovsk region and is readily accessible by maintained roads with abundant nearby infrastructure. The area was explored by various groups during Soviet times, most recently in 1991.
