Amur Minerals Corporation (AMC) is a rapidly-growing mineral resource exploration and development company focused on base metal projects located in the far east of Russia. The Company has three properties in the region with its principal asset being the Kun-Manie sulphide nickel, copper project located in Amur Oblast. With a JORC compliant resource of over a quarter of a million tons of contained nickel, Kun-Manie is one of the five largest new nickel sulphide discoveries since Voisey’s Bay.
Kun-Manie
The Kun-Manie licence area is approximately 950 km² and is located 700 km northeast of the capital city of Blagoveshchensk located on the Chinese border. Amur Minerals commenced seasonal field work on the licence in 2004 and has already established total measured, indicated and inferred resources of over 250,000 tones of contained nickel and 72,500 tons of copper.
Anadjakan
The Anadjakan licence covers an area of 250 square kilometres and is valid for a term of five years, convertible to a 20 year mining licence following a commercial discovery.
Amur is conducting a three-phased exploration programme in accordance with the licence agreement. These phases will consist of confirming the existing historical results, conducting trenching and drilling, and concluding with the calculation of a Russian based resource estimate. This work is to be accomplished over the next five years.
Kustak
In February 2007, Amur acquired the Kustakskaya Project, immediately to the east of the Kun-Manie licence and across the Amur Oblast and Khabarovsk Krai border. This 1,034 square kilometre, 25 year exploration and production licence contains two geological terrains. Each terrain contains a different mineralisation type target. The southern half of the licence is interpreted to be a continuation of the Krumkon Trend identified within the Kun-Manie exploration licence. The northern half of the licence area contains Mesozoic granitic intrusives wherein historical Russian results indicate the potential for copper, molybdenum, cobalt and minor nickel to be present. The Company will undertake field exploration of this licence area in 2008 in accordance with the terms of the licence.
