Reference information

Comments Partial resource of 27.4 Mt at 0.46% Cu. Could be a massive sulfide deposit. Copper sulfide minerals in shear zones in a dacite porphyry that intrudes pyroclastic rocks. A weak zone of secondary enrichment is 1–3 m thick and consists of bornite, chalcocite, and covellite. Associated with bimodal (basalt-rhyolite) assemblage rocks. Nokleberg (2010) classifies it as a porphyry, while Petrov and others (2009) indicates it is a volcanic massive sulfide.
Study area name Central Asian Orogenic Belt
