Maly Naryn
The 139 square kilometre Maly Naryn licence is located in the Jetim range in the central eastern portion of the Kyrgyz Republic, 30km north west of the city of Naryn and 130km west of the Kumtor gold mine.
It is located within an under-explored belt of highly prospective Vendian carbonaceous shales of the Middle Tien Shan domain, and it also appears to be located on the same major structure that hosts the 19M ounce Kumtor gold mine.

The Maly Naryn Project represents an exploration opportunity for orogenic gold within a lightly explored belt. Manas will continue with systematic exploration driven by surface geochemistry to investigate the favourable settings for gold mineralisation analogous to the Kumtor mine geological setting.
Manas will initially follow up a 12km2 area where exploration in 2007 returned significant gold, silver, copper, bismuth and molybdenum mineralisation within and associated with multiple granitoid intrusives.
