Mediterranean Resources Ltd. ("Mediterranean") is focused on developing gold deposits in Turkey. Currently, Mediterranean is actively working on its two 100% owned properties that saw more then US$4 million of development by Teck Cominco during the 1990's. These properties are called Taç and Çorak. During 2006 Mediterranean spent US$3.1 million of exploration on Taç, after which it earned an undivided interest in the properties, and during 2007 Mediterranean spent US$4.5 million of exploration on Taç and Çorak. On March 11, 2008 Mediterranean announced new NI 43-101 compliant resource estimates for Taç and Çorak. Highlights of the study are as follows:
At the Çorak deposit, alteration and mineralization occupy broadly the same stratigraphic interval as at Taç, namely the uppermost few hundred metres of massive volcanic rocks below the well-bedded volcanosedimentary package. The massive volcanic rocks consist of a sequence of tuffs, andesitic or andesitic-basaltic lava flows and volcaniclastics including agglomerates (volcanic breccias), lapillistone, lapilli-tuff and tuffaceous sandstone. A package of alternating sandstone, siltstone, limestone, marl and mudstone interbedded with tuffaceous sandstones comprise the overlying volcanosediments. Both the volcanics and volcanosedimentary rocks are intruded by mafic- to intermediate-composition plugs and sheet intrusions. |
