SUMMARY

Oxide copper minerals, Malachite and Tenorite from Kazandol South Click to View

At Kazandol outcropping copper mineralisation has been mapped over a length of five kilometres. Within this zone two large copper oxide targets have been defined: Kazandol North and Kazandol South. The results from trenches confirm the continuity of mineralisation over a strike of 800 metres and a width of 200 metres. Better results include: 175 metres grading 0.44% copper and 200 metres at 0.32% copper. This has been confirmed by diamond drilling which has defined similar grades within a 50 metre thick oxide copper zone. Recent mapping and geochemistry has extended this mineralised zone another 4,000 metres to the south.  Our objective here is to define a copper-oxide resource and to produce copper sulphate for sale in Europe.

LOGISTICS

Kazandol is well located for project development.

A paved road and power crosses the property and it is less than 10 kilometres to heavy gauge rail. 

Via rail it is 85 kilometres to a deep water port and 350 kilometre to a smelter.

Kazandol Northern Geology, trench and drillhole data Click to view

EurOmax is exploring the Kazandol North propert for oxide copper mineralisation which could be amenable to low cost Solvent Extraction Electro-winning (SX-EW) technology.  Initially however it is our objective to produce copper sulphate for sale to markets in the region and in Europe.

 

The Kazandol property covers a strongly deformed suite of Ordovician gneiss intruded by small granite stocks and Keratophyre dykes of unknown age and  Jurassic andesitic volcanics. It is situated along the edge of the Vardar Zone, a tract of strong deformation. Careful mapping and recent drillhole data  have allowed a new interpretation of the geology.  It now appears that a low angle thrust fault has brought mineralized andesitic rocks over unmineralised granite.

Outcropping copper mineralisation has been mapped along a north-west striking zone over a length of five kilometres. Until late 2007 no drilling had been conducted on the licence -  although like many parts of the ancient world Kazandol North was exploited for copper by skilled artisinal minerals in times past.

Within this zone two large copper oxide targets have been defined:
Kazandol North and Kazandol South.

At Kazandol North the wide mineralised zone occupies a prominient, 150 metre high ridge. This can be seen on the image to left -  together with trench results. 

At Kazandol North an 800 by 600m zone of copper oxide mineralisation has been mapped. Trenching across the strike of the mineralisation at Kazandol North defines a zone with greater than 0.1% copper, 800 metres long and up to 250 metres wide within a 600 metre wide geochemical anomaly.  The Kazandol North target is positioned along a steep 1.5 kilometre long ridge with up to 100 metres elevation above the surrounding terrain.

Copper minerals in outcrop include malachite, azurite and tenorite. Along the crest of the ridge ancient copper working are in evidence.

It is now believed this thrust geometry can be traced over a strike of 5 kilometres.  The upper Plate rocks are strongly altered and mineralized along this strike.  The copper mineralisation has only been found above and within the thrust fault and this is postulated to be the immediate source of copper bearing fluids. Recent mapping at Kazandol South has shown this area to be significantly more mineralised than Kazandol North.  The thrust has now been mapped over nearly 4,000 metres in this area with numerous well exposed copper-oxide zones.

The thrust has now been mapped over more than 5,000 metres are this geometry creates significant tonnage potential.

EXPLORATION RESULTS

Soil Geochemistry - Kazandol North Click to view	Trench Results  - Kazandol north Click to view

Exploration conducted on the licence has involved Niton and multi-element ICP soil geochemistry mapping, trenching  and diamond drilling.

Trench results have been impressive indicating a wide zone of mienralisation.  Recent trench results are tabled below:

Trenching in 2004 and 2005 produced similar results.

Drilling in late 2007 intersected up to 50 metres of oxide copper mineralisation from surface.  All results are tabled below:

Diamond Drillhole Results - Kazandol North

EOKC 801: 23 metres at 0.11% copper, from 0.0 to 23.0m; EOKC 802: 21 metres at 0.15% copper, from 28.3 to 49.8m EOKC 803: 47 metres at 0.59% copper, from 0.0 to 47.1m; EOKC 804: 27 metres at 0.54% copper, from 24.0 to 51.0m. EOKC 805: 20 metres at 0.23% copper from 0.0m

All higher grade results were in the Upper Plate andesites.   Near term diamond drilling will focus on extending the known area of mineralsation under shallow cover and scree and testing Kazandol south.

EurOmax closes $485,000 financing and advises that the 2009 program at Kazandol has commenced. The first phase will include trenching over the 3 kilometre extension found at the end of the 2008 program. Following trenching, reverse circulation drilling to define an oxide copper resource and metallurgical testing is planned. Successful results from this program will allow a preliminary feasibility study to be completed during 2009.
