Summary:
Gold mineralisation at Svetloye is formed by vuggy silica (secondary quartzite) associated with a high-sulphidation epithermal system. Most of gold mineralisation is very fine grained and disseminated. Gold-bearing silicification occurs as flat lenses or pods, which outcrop at the surface and have true widths of between 20 and 120 m. Higher-grade zones are adjacent to breccias. The oxidation zone develops to a depth of 150 m.
Three ore zones (Emmy, Elena and Tamara) are proposed to be mined at Svetloye.
Summary:
Svetloye is located in the Okhotsk district of the Khabarovsk Krai in the Far East of Russia. The project lies in unpopulated remote mountainous area with taiga forest in the valleys and tundra covering hilltops. It is accessible by a 380 km winter road from Okhotsk and by 92 km winter road from Unchi seaport which will be used for delivery of fuel and supplies during the summer navigation period. Between May and November access to the site is by helicopter.
Open pit mining is conducted by conventional drill-and-blast and truck haulage. The average strip ratio over the life of the mine is 1.4 t/t. The open pits will reach the maximum depth of 130 meters.
