The Bisha deposit
is configured in three distinct layered zones – a 35m thick surface oxide zone
having a high gold and silver content immediately overlying a 30m thick copper
enriched supergene zone which itself overlies a primary sulphide zone containing
both zinc and copper. Significant byproduct gold and silver are recoverable from
both the supergene and primary ores.
A full description of the Bisha mineral resource and metallurgy may be found in
the Company’s news releases dated January 10, 2006
and July 17, 2006, respectively.
