| Comments | Beginning in 2001, Valea Tisei was drilled for Au, Ag, Cu, Pb, and Zn by European Goldfield Ltd. Along with the porphyry copper-gold mineralization, they noted a potential for near-surface epithermal deposits. The deposit is a disseminated gold-copper porphyry system with higher grade gold mineralization in veins associated with enhanced base metal grades. |
