Background to the IBEX transaction
The transaction will result in a consolidated landholding of over 1,500km2, the majority of the prospective exploration licenses which dominate a key geological trend between and along strike from the Oyu Tolgoi and Tsagaan Suvarga (Devonian) copper mines, supporting an industry leading proposition of copper/gold and gold targets.
- IBEX's portfolio was secured and targets advanced by former key executives of Oyu Tolgoi's exploration team and focused on 'Tier 1" gold rich copper porphyry targets.
- A large and high quality regional geophysical and surface geochemical dataset supporting various style targets: i. Devonian porphyries; ii. "Traditional" gold rich copper porphyries; and, iii. epithermal and Carlin-style gold deposits.
- Consolidates a regional portfolio in an underexplored but potentially world-class gold rich copper province analogous to exploring the majority of the Northern Chile copper belt from the 1970s.
