Conducting prospecting works for porphyry copper ores at the Kherson site.
The Kherson site is located on the territory of the Kargalinsky district of the Aktobe region, in the area of the village. Kherson.
The main task of prospecting is to carry out geological work with the identification and delineation of promising mineral deposits, with an assessment of reserves and forecast resources of categories C2 and P1, a preliminary geological and economic assessment and justification of further exploration.
83 boreholes were drilled at the Kherson site in the period of 2020-2021. There are exactly 74 boreholes of a prospecting and mapping nature and 9 boreholes of a prospecting purpose for assessing geophysical anomalies and previously identified mineralization zones.
In 2022, a change was made to the project for additional study, mining operations were replaced by drilling operations. Thus, additional boreholes will be drilled in order to study the nature of the anomaly of previously conducted drilling operations and geophysical studies. It is planned to drill 2 boreholes of 400 p.m. and 1 borehole with a depth of 200 p.m.
To this day, Kazgeology JSC has completed drilling of 1 borehole with a depth of 400 p.m. The results of laboratory studies upon completion of the work will make it possible to carry out a predictive assessment of the site to confirm the search signs for porphyry copper deposits.
