Presentation summary

Sergeevskoe Gold Project - a new discovery in Siberia, Russia

Orsu Metals explores Sergeevskoe gold project since 2017. The license area starts some 300 m west from the suspended open pit of the Klyuchevskoe gold deposit and 9 km east from the open pit of the Alexandrovskoe gold deposit. In 2017-18, the company drilled some 15,000 m and trenched 4,500 m at Zone 23, Adit 5, Klyuchi West and Kozie prospects. The identified gold mineralization forms two bands, 800 m long and 200-250 m deep each. Maximum gold-mineralized width (200 m) was identified so far at the Klyuchi West prospect. The average gold grade is 1.5-2.0 g/t Au. Orsu is planning to publish a JORC-compliant mineral resource estimate in Q4 2018.
