According to the materials based on the purchase ofDalnedrafrom a single supplier by 2019 OAO Rosgeologiyawill evaluate the gold resources of the Burgalinskayaarea (46 sq. km) in Selemdzhynsky District of Amur Oblast.
The price of the contract concluded in August of this year is 160 million rubles.
The expected results of the work:
  • a map of gold mineralizationof the Burgalinskoy prospective area on a scale of 1: 25000 based on the geochemistry;
  • localization and evaluation of the prognostic gold resources of categories: P1 - 10 tons and P2 - 40 tons with a set of graphic materials of appropriate scale, justifying this evaluation;
  • geological and economic evaluation of the prognostic gold resources of P1 and P2 categories according to the aggregated indicators and recommendations for future area of exploration works.
The main valuation parameters are specified for the mineralization of gold-polymetallic formation: the average gold content in the ore body is not less than 1 g/t; the cut-off grade is 0.8 g/t; the minimum thickness of ore body is 5.0 m; the maximum allowable interlayer of barren rock is 2.0 m. For the mineralization of gold-quartz formation the following parameters should be taken: the average gold content in the ore body is not less than 2.5 g/t, the cut-off grade is 1.0 g/t; the minimum thickness of ore body is 2.0 m.In turn, Rosgeologiyatransferredworks under the contract toAO Amurgeologiya, a part of the holding, the contract value is 144 million rubles.
