The Kizilcukur project comprises one licence located in the Balikesir Province in Western Turkey and covers an area containing a series of sub-parallel quartz veins hosted by ophiolitic units trending north-west.

In October 2013, the company announced that a Joint Ore Reserves Committee (JORC) inferred resource of 162,000t at 2.39g/t gold and 48.5g/t silver has already been established at Kizilcukur based on 17 historic drill holes.

The current programme has been designed to test the near-surface resource potential along strike of the areas that were previously tested by drilling.
