«Mironovskoye» deposit

Kyrgyzaltyn OJSC has License No. 7368 AE dated September 18, 2023 for the right to use subsoil for the purpose of developing and License No. 7369 AP dated September 18, 2023 for the right to use subsoil for the purpose of geological exploration at the Mironovskoe deposit.

The size of the licensed area is 1315 hectares.

The Mironovskoye deposit is located in the Kemin district of the Chui region, on the southern slope of the Kastek ridge, near the state border with Kazakhstan.

The deposit was discovered in 1961 during prospecting operations at a scale of 1:10,000. In 1962-1963, ditches were made in the field and 7 wells were drilled. In 1964-1974, preliminary and detailed exploration was carried out. 18,726 m3 of ditches, 210 m of pits, 13,327 m of adits, 62,178 m of wells were completed. Up to a depth of 350 m, the deposit has been studied in detail and prepared for exploitation.

About 10 main ore veins (20 in total) have been traced and well studied. Their length ranges from 35 m to 610 m, thickness - 0.3-1.18 m. Along the dip, the veins were traced to a depth of 60-406 m. The distances between the main cores are 35-120m. Main veins: Main (650m x 0.75m), Diagonal (200m x 0.65m), Latitudinal (156m x 0.4m), Subthrust (610m x 1.18m).

The absolute altitudes of the area are 1500-1800m. The nearest settlements - the villages of Mikhailovka (Kazakhstan), Beisheke and Karabura (Kyrgyzstan) are located 10 - 15 km from the deposit and are connected to it by dirt roads.

50 km to the east is the village of Aktyuz, where a mine and a processing plant for processing 260 thousand tons of ore per year are mothballed, and to which a power line is connected.

Technical water supply is possible through the Karabulak stream, and drinking water supply is possible from a well in the area of the former hydraulic fracturing village. The high-voltage (220 kW) power transmission line "Kemin-Almaty" also passes through the field area.

The area is home to a large gold deposit Taldybulak-Levoberezhny (Zi Jing Mining), rare earth deposits-Kutessyi II (Kutessyi Mining LLC) and a number of small gold deposits Dolpran, Kuran-Jailoo.  

The ore at the deposit is complex. Main useful components: gold, bismuth, copper, silver, lead, zinc.

Reserves of the Mironovskoye deposit based on 2012 calculations:

• Gold category C1+C2 - 2,692.70 kg, gold content 1.7 g/t.;
• Bismuth by category С1+С2 - 1 859,06 t.;
• Copper by category C1+C2 - 23 608,76 t.;
• Lead by category C1+C2- 8 349,02 t.;
• Silver by category C1+C2- 76 035,83 kg.

Ore 1582,2 thousand tons.

Inferred gold resources for category P1:

• Gold 10 t.;
• Copper 80 thousand t.;
• Silver 250 t.;
• Bismuth 8 thousand t.

An increase in reserves is possible due to additional exploration of the flanks of the Mironovskoye field.
