The deposit at Jugan Hill is steeply dipping, has been drilled to 380 metres below surface and remains open at depth. In fact, the gold grade seems to increase with depth. Just to the south Besra has identified the A12 Anomaly and the Jugan West zones. Moving south along the Bau Central trend sit the Say Seng, Sirenggok, Bekajang, Young’s Hill, Taiton A, Tabai, Umbut, Kapor, Pejiru Extension, Boring and Pejiru deposits.

Besra says the deposits represent near-surface tips of steeply dipping zones, and all of these zones remain open at depth. He estimates Bau Central could host 5–10 million oz. gold, and feed a central processing facility for at least 20 years.

“The initial four-year mine life will be extended, as nearby deposits are developed using existing plant and infrastructure, and having the effect of further improving the project economics,” said Besra CEO John Seton in a statement.

“Bau exploration remains at a relatively early stage, with multiple deposits at various stages of exploration development and many prospective zones as yet entirely unexplored,” Seton says. “Geologic potential for substantially higher-grade mineralization has also been identified at depth. The exploration success rate suggests that continued exploration has the potential to progressively expand resources and reserves over decades to come, with the potential to establish Bau as one of the major goldfields of Asia.”

Besra operates in three countries. The company’s two operating mines, Phuoc Son and Bong Mieu, are in Vietnam; Bau is near the northern coast of Malaysia, south across the East Sea from Vietnam; and Besra’s Capcapo gold exploration project is in the Phillipines, east across the East Sea from Vietnam.
