Reference information

Comments Cu tonnage is calculated from Cu grade and ore tonnage from Singer and others (2008). Consists of a lensoid body that occurs along the contact of the Tuim granitoid pluton that intrudes Cambrian carbonate rock. Deposit occurs in a district that is 900 m long and ranges from 1 to 50 to 80 m thick. Deposit minerals occur in veinlets, masses and disseminations in skarn. Molybdenite occurs in zones in silica-altered granitoid in quartz veinlets containing disseminated molybdenite, chalcopyrite and other sulfides. Deposit has been mined and is small. Singer and others (2008) locate this deposit 35 km SW and could be the location of the porphyry Mo Nichkuryupskoye occurrence. Deposit in Kuznetsk Alatay granitoid area.
