The Group has several licences in an East-West belt across the North-East of the Amur Region. Apart from Malomir, there are three additional licence areas: Voroshilovskoye, Tokur and Albyn, all at different stages of exploration.  These deposits are hosted by the Palaeozoic sedimentary rocks of the Mongolo-Okhotsk mobile belt, one of the world’s major gold-producing regions. This is a belt of deformation resulting from collision of the Eurasian and Amur plates. 

The Group has built a laboratory at Tokur in order to assay samples from these and other Group exploration programmes.  Further work is ongoing to develop a regional test plant for gravitational, flotation and cyanidation metallurgical work for the Group’s three assets in the region.
