VAZASHEN GOLD-POLYMETALLIC PROJECT
Location Details
The Vazashen gold-polymetallic project is located in Tavush, Republic of Armenia, 1.5-4.0 kilometers south-east from Vasashen village. The development site belongs to the southern part of Somkheti-Karabagh zone. It’s located on Alaverdi-Kapan tectonic zone, at 1000-1200 m. absolute height. The main tectonic-structural component is Tavush’s anticlinorium with some deep-situated breaches. They mostly have north-west and north-east transverse distribution. From the geological structure point of view, in the stratigraphic depth there are volcanic rocks dating from Jurassic to Paleogene periods. In the internal structure of veinal minerals several gold mineral veins are discovered, among them, quartz-pyrite, quartz-carbonate and quartz-carbonate-polymetal. Vazashen’s gold-polymetallic project, with its geochemical specificity, belongs to gold-sulphide formation. The gold deposit is extremely disproportionate to all directions. In the depth, however, the deposit of gold increases. Vazashen’s gold-polymetallic project is a project with a brilliant future potential.
GET TO KNOW OUR PROCESS
Let’s get some idea about the project carrying on in Vazashen at the moment and also what was accomplished by now. The present exploration process includes the following: overview and analysis of the work that has been executed by this point and planning of the future work. Exploration and topographic survey were and are being conducted and geological maping was created. Prospecting routes are being built to facilitate future work. Conducting surface excavations is part of the current project and the aerial photography of the project was organized to help with visuals. In Vazashen underground mountain excavations were executed, measurement of the project area, sampling, sample development, and geological analysis of those samples. Locals always have been and are continuing to be included in the project during all the stages. Social aspect: Social aspect has a crucial role in Vazashen project. The significant part of the social support that was designed by the program has been already fulfilled by the company. All the employees of the project have workplace accident insurance. They also are provided with protective personal equipments.
