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:
The Taç deposit is predominantly underlain by andesitic volcaniclastics and flows, at the top of the Green and Cream Tuffs of Erkül (2006). It is overlain to the southeast by strongly layered turbiditic volcanogenic sandstones, conglomerates interbedded with thin shales and shale-rich limestone units. The host volcanics and overlying sedimentary rocks are believed to be Upper Cretaceous to Eocene in age and are cut by mafic- to intermediate-composition sheet intrusion. |
