Projects

Manas is the largest and most active gold explorer in the Kyrgyz Republic, with a strong focus on the highly prospective south-west. We have nine projects covering 4,408km² with our focus being on the 4,200km²  semi-contiguous seven-project South Kyrgyz Gold Project.

Our current JORC Resource base, across two projects, is 1.13 million ounces and with 54 ranked prospects, we are aiming to grow rapidly.  

In May, 2010 we upgraded our Shambesai Mineral Resource 65 per cent to 645,000 ounces of gold. Shambesai contains a significant high-grade oxide portion with more than 250,000 ounces of high-grade oxide resource at 5.7 g/t gold (2.5 g/t gold cut-off) from a total oxide resource of 330,000 ounces at 3.3 g/t gold.

We have now accelerated mining and processing studies on high-grade oxide component at Shambesai.

Our Obdilla Project, located only 7kms from Shambesai, has 485,000 ounces of gold.

Every drill program so far has discovered significant gold mineralisation and we will continue with aggressive drilling programmes. Another drilling programme has started with more than 10,000m planned at a number of prospects including Shambesai. Of our 54 prospects we have only drilled three.
