Bizhe
The 246km2 Bizhe prospect is 250km north of Almaty. The major Almaty-Taldy-Kurgan highway is in close proximity, as is the Company’s Dalabai gold prospect 50km to the South.
The geological composition and mineralization style is quite similar to Dalabai, with quartz veining zones within volcanic formations. The area is prospective for gold and silver and potential copper porphyry style mineralisation. Near the licence’s eastern border is the world renowned Koksai copper porphyry deposit which is currently under development.
Central Asia has acquired historical exploration data, including geo-chemistry works for the entire prospect, and this data reveals a number of gold, silver, copper, lead and zinc anomalies. Only some of these anomalies have been further explored with trenches and drilling.
Central Asia’s focus throughout 2009 and 2010 is on Dalabai and Altyntas. Bizhe is part of the long term strategy and as such will recieve significant attention in the future.
