Previous Work

Previous Work at Chongyang
Five individual north-northwest trending quartz-wolframite veins were exploited over a 2km strike length down to 16 levels. The mine is hosted in a tungsten-molybdenum-silver-zinc mineralized and greisen altered granite porphyry that has intruded granite gneiss and metasediment basement rocks. The mine was previously evaluated for gold by Indochina Goldfields in 1995, when the bulk tonnage open pit potential for tungsten-molybdenum mineralization was recognized.


Work Program

Oriental Minerals intends evaluating the bulk tonnage open pit potential of this deposit by drill testing (1,500m diamond core drilling).

In late 2009, preliminary 450m diamond core drilling commenced.
