The Çöpler Gold Mine is operated by the company and is an open-pit, heap-leach operation that is producing gold from oxide ore. The Copler orebody also contains refractory sulfide ore that requires a different processing solution than heap-leaching to extract the gold.
The Çakmaktepe Southeast prospect is on the 80% the company owned (Anagold) tenement area and is characterized by gold-copper-silver mineralization, mainly hosted within iron rich gossans and altered wallrocks developed along shallow dipping contacts between diorite, ophiolite and limestone lithologies.
The Çakmaktepe East prospect is on the 50% the company-owned (Kartaltepe) tenement area and is a gold-copper prospect with mineralization occuring near surface in stacked iron rich gossans and associated oxidized host rocks.
The Bayramdere prospect is on the 50% the company-owned (Kartaltepe) tenement area and is an oxide gold and copper prospect. Mineralization at Bayramdere occurs within three overlapping, iron rich gossan horizons formed along the contacts of limestone and ophiolite units.
The Anagold JV license area covers exploration targets prospective for additional oxide ore with the same mineralization style as the Çöpler orebody.
