Operations edit
The company holds mineral concessions at Abu Marawat.[2] The Abu Marawat Concession was previously controlled by Centamin[3] and was subsequently awarded to Alexander Nubia as part of the international bid round.[4] The concessions are located in close proximity to excellent infrastructure (near to railway, seaport, high tension electricity grid and the major cities of Qena and Safaga).[5]
Within the Abu Marawat Concession are several different deposits representing different geological environments:
- Abu Marawat: a mesothermal gold-copper vein deposit
- Hamama: a volcanogenic massive sulfide ore deposit
- South Miranda: a copper-gold porphyry deposit
- Semna: a sheeted gold-bearing quartz vein structure in granodiorite deposit
- Sir Bakis, Massaghat, Zeno and Bohlog: a gold-rich quartz vein deposit
The company is currently focusing on two principal deposits at Rodruin and Hamama.[6]
