| Comments | Cu, Mo, Au, and ore tonnage from Strikeforce Mining and Resources Ltd. (2011), and includes 509.1 t silver, and 5.9 t rhenium. Andrei F. Chitalin (written commun., 2009) indicates probable reserve of 155 kt Mo (0.05%), 0.1 Mt Cu (0.032%). The prospect area is 2.9 sq. km. Mining and geological conditions of Agaskyr deposit imply its development by open-pit operations (Strikeforce Mining and Resources Ltd., 2011). Andrei F. Chitlalin (written commun., 2009) includes a location for Agaskyr at 54.9889 degrees N latitude and 89.3428 degrees E longitude, which is located about 46 km NNE; Chitlalin also lists Agaskyrskoye at same location. Classified as porphyry Mo by Rundkvist (2001), Kirkham and Dunne (2000), and Volkov, Golivkin and others (2006). Same location with various names (Agaskyrskoe, Agaskyrskoye) from Seltmann and others (2009) and Rundkvist (2001). |
