Cukaru Peki Copper and Gold Deposit in Serbia
Date: 2012-2019
Client: Nevsun Resources Ltd., Freeport-McMoRan Inc.
Meters Drilled: 180000
About this Project
Cukaru Peki site was discovered in July 2012 by Rakita, a local company through which the project was managed, headed by the geologist Dejan Kozelj. The discovery was soon awarded with an international recognition in Toronto, at a conference of the Canadian Association of Mining Research and Development (PDAC).
GEOPS leaded the drilling program with:
- 150 number of staff
- 10 number of rigs
- 180000 meters drilled
- 0 h lost time
- 0 injuries
The Cukaru Peki deposit is subdivided into an Upper Zone (“UZ”) of high-sulphidation epithermal mineralization and the underlying Lower Zone (“LZ”) of porphyry type mineralization. The Cukaru Peki UZ Mineral Resource comprises an Indicated Mineral Resource of some 1.7 Mt above a cut-off grade of 0.75% copper, with average grades of 13.5% copper, 10.4 g/t gold and 0.23% arsenic and an Inferred Mineral Resource of some 35.0 Mt above a cut-off grade of 0.75% copper, with average grades of 2.9% copper, 1.7 g/t gold and 0.17% arsenic.
