Tender and review session

Moein Kansaran Toos won the investment tender for exploration of Fariman–Kadkan zone No. 3, an area of 4,900 km². After the reconnaissance and prospecting stages were completed, the results were presented at a review session with the province's mining officials.

Method

The project combined remote sensing, stream-sediment geochemistry and geology in GIS to produce a mineral potential map (MPM). More than 25 polymetallic targets were identified, including chromite, copper, gold and manganese.

Fieldwork was carried out by two teams over a total of 262 man-days.

Results

Five areas were submitted for exploration licences: chromite, copper-gold, iron and manganese. Three further promising areas have been identified for copper and magnesite.
