An active 2006 exploration programme will be pursued by manual trenching, of which 100,000m3 is planned, and subsequently by oblique drill holes from flatter areas around the Tokur and Innokentevskiy deposits, including the access roads themselves.  

By the end of 2007 it is envisaged that a final reserves and resources report will be completed.  In the Ekimchanskaya area, trenching is continuing in 2007. 

The laboratory that has already been established to assay exploration samples from the various projects in the north-east Amur region will benefit from the reconstruction of the Tokur plant that will allow for metallurgical testing and pilot-scale processing of ore from Tokur, Malomir and Voroshilovskoye.
