LARGE INCREASE IN TENEMENT HOLDING
(Tolubay Region - Kyrgyz Republic - Perseus 100%)
Perseus has increased its exploration acreage along strike from the Obdilla gold discovery to 4,846 sq km after an additional three licences covering 2,572 sq km were granted to JSC Landmark, one of its Kyrgyz subsidiaries.
The Perseus Group has acquired a dominant tenement position along an under-explored, highly prospective 300km section of the Southern Tien Shan thrust belt (see figure). The newly acquired licences are prospective for Carlin style gold mineralisation similar to the Company’s Obdilla discovery made in mid 2005. Since Carlin style gold occurrences are often found in clusters, the Obdilla discovery highlighted the potential of the surrounding areas. Historical Soviet exploration on several of the licences had identified stream sediment anomalies of gold and indicator elements. These represent prime targets, particularly in areas with similar geological settings to Obdilla.
Drilling is continuing at Obdilla and a regional exploration program focused on Carlin style mineralisation has commenced on the newly acquired licences.
