Orsu Metals Signs a Bulk Test Agreement for Its Sergeevskoe Project in Russia

14.07.2020  |  Accesswire

VANCOUVER, July 14, 2020 - Orsu Metals Corp. (TSXV:OSU) ("Orsu" or the "Company") signed a bulk test and pilot mining agreement to process the Sergeevskoe gold-mineralized material at the Alexandrovskoye mine and gold plant.

The Alexandrovskoye mine and gold-processing plant are owned by Zapadnaya Gold Mining Limited, operating three gold mines in the Russian Federation with total annual production of 106.5 thousand ounces per annum (in 2018; http://www.zapadnaya.com/). The Alexandrovskoye gold-processing plant is located immediately to the west from the Sergeevskoe license border (see Figure 1). The terms of the agreement envisage that the parties will process the first trial batch of gold-mineralized material and will then finalize the commercial aspects of pilot mining and processing activities.

The Company did not complete pre-feasibility or feasibility studies to international standards. However, Orsu completed a Russian technical study that received an approval from the Russian mining authorities for extraction of 1,050,000 tons of mineralized material during three years ("pilot mining") from the North and South open pits to a depth of 30 to 35 m(see Figure 2 and press release June 11, 2020).

As part of preparation for a bulk test and subsequent pilot mining, the Company and Alexandrovskoe mine:

  • cleared the vegetation over an area of 15 hectares, covering the two planned open pits and related infrastructure;
  • built haul roads connecting the sites of the planned pilot open pits with the waste dump and mineralized stockpile sites;
  • carefully removed and stockpiled the top soil;
  • received or in the process of receiving final ancillary permits such as safety certification, a blasting permit and an approval of mining plan with expectation that all required ancillary permits will be received shortly;
  • received a permit from State Fund of Precious Metals and Precious Stones of the Russian Federation (Gokhran of Russia; http://www.gokhran.ru/en/) to produce and sell up to 700 kg of gold per annum;
  • the Company continues a grade control drilling program (see press-releases June 09,2020 and July 13, 2020).

Orsu Metals expects that pilot mining will begin in late July to August 2020.
