Titimukhta

Titimukhta deposit is situated in the core of the Blagoveshchensk anticline within a silicon-vein zone. The zone is some 320 thick and reaches 1000 meters along the strike. It is saturated with silicon veins 1 to 7.5 m thick as well as with thin silicon streaks with poor sulphide mineralization. The deposit is made up of 5 elongated bedded ore bodies varying from 1 to 64 m in thickness.

Ores of Titimukhta belong to aluminum and silicate type, contain no alien admixtures and are easy to process. Sulphide content, including pyrite, chalcopyrite, arsenopyrite, and galenite, does not exceed 1-2%. Gold occurs mostly in free metallic form, finely dispersed, sometimes associated with sulphides or dispersed in hard rock.

Titimukhta now undergoes further exploration to make a final evaluation of its resources  which are currently estimated at 40 tons of gold (by C1 and C2 categories).
