The Voroshilovskoye Deposit was exploited by prospectors from 1928 to 1949.  Primary operations were centred on the oxide ore at a depth of 10 – 40 m.  Historical data shows that the mine previously produced 2.6 tonnes of gold at an average grade of 14 g/t.  The Group obtained the licence for the deposit in 2003 and has since been developing a comprehensive exploration programme to establish the parameters of the deposit.
