The rock mechanics (geomechanical) study for mining at London-listed Amur Minerals’ Kun-Manie project, in Russia, has been completed and approved by authorities, confirming that the project can be implemented as an openpit operation.
The study, compiled by the Mining Institute of the Far Eastern Russian Academy of Sciences (MIFERAS), was based on the regional tectonic setting and project specific data derived from the testing of exploration drill core.
It confirms that openpit operations can be implemented at the Maly Kurumkon/Flangovy and Vodorazdelny deposits, and at the area identified as ISK (the now continuous orebody from Ikenskoe/Sobolevsky through Kubuk).
