Kyrgyzstan Nasonov Gold Mine Project

The Nasonov Gold Mine is a high-grade deposit first identified during the Soviet era. It is located in the high mountain area of Chuy Region, Kyrgyzstan, near the watershed between the Alchary River and the Jaldy River. The site sits at a high altitude, with main adit entrances between 3,506 and 3,858 meters above sea level, and the mining area lies within a permafrost zone. The mining license covers an area of 4.78 square kilometers. The project is jointly developed by Wanrun Mining’s Kyrgyz subsidiary—Wanrun Yaxing Mining Co., Ltd.—and the central government of Kyrgyzstan. The Phase I mine plan is designed for an annual ore processing capacity of 180,000 tonnes, with an expected annual gold output of 1 tonne. The Nasonov deposit is a skarn-type copper–gold deposit. The ore bodies occur in skarn zones formed by the intrusion of Silurian alaskites and granodiorite dikes into marble. The primary ore minerals are chalcopyrite and bornite, with lesser amounts of chalcocite, covellite, tetrahedrite, small quantities of pyrite, molybdenite, and galena. Skarn bodies without ore typically contain magnetite as the main mineral. Gold mineralization is positively correlated with copper grades. Gold commonly occurs as free native gold, with particle sizes ranging from coarse (2–3 mm visible gold) to microscopic gold. The ore has a low arsenic content, approximately 0.014%.

Tajikistan Sangvor High-Manganese Mine Project

This project is located in east-central Tajikistan, under the administrative jurisdiction of Sangvor District, a directly governed national district. The site lies at an elevation of 2,000–3,000 meters and features mid- to low-mountain terrain. The two mining areas are about 35 km apart in a straight line and are approximately 200 km west of the capital, Dushanbe. The project comprises two zones: the Daleibakh Mining Area in northern Sangvor, covering 15.67 square kilometers and primarily containing manganese ore; and the Khobrabot Mining Area in the southern Darvaz region, covering 61.6 square kilometers (blue-shaded area in the “Mining Area Location Map”), with manganese and copper as the main mineral resources.
