Prospecting Routes

The routes will be conducted across the strike of the main geological structures, with continuous documentation along each route. The primary objective is to map zones of metasomatic alteration, mineralization, cataclasites, and other areas exhibiting favorable geological indicators of gold mineralization.

The main prospective ore-bearing structures will be traced along their strike.

Detailed prospecting routes at a scale of 1:2,000 will be conducted in highly prospective areas that have not been sufficiently studied. These detailed routes will provide a more thorough investigation of the geological structure, morphology, parameters, and occurrence conditions of mineralized zones and zones of wall-rock alteration, as well as the identification and study of fault morphology.

All signs of mineralization will be documented, including the mapping of all mineral occurrences and detailed examination of individual elements of ore-bearing structures in all directions.

All lithological varieties and stratigraphic units of the rocks will be studied, including their occurrence conditions and geological relationships.

Depending on the geological structure, degree of exposure, and accessibility of the area, the distance between routes and observation points will be approximately 20–30 m.

A geological map at a scale of 1:5,000 will be prepared based on prospecting and geological survey routes using a 1:5,000 topographic base.

During the preparation of the 1:2,000-scale geological map, additional information will be obtained from trench documentation, drill-core logging, and petrographic identification of rock samples.
