Taldy

Taldy is in East Kazakhstan, within the Saur-Tarbagatai metallogenic belt, 10 km from the large Kyzyl-Kain porphyry system. Taldy holds strong potential for a new Cu-Mo-Au discovery. It features intrusive rocks of the Saur complex favorable for porphyry mineralization. Hydrothermal-metasomatic alterations and copper mineralization are typical for porphyry systems. Soviet-era studies were surface-based only—no drilling was done.

Modern geochemical studies revealed strong Cu-Mo-Au anomalies, suggesting potential economic mineralization at depth. Aeromagnetic and IP data indicate large zones of alteration and disseminated sulfide mineralization in the core of the diorite-porphyry intrusion. Overall, the deposit has high discovery potential, but further work is needed.
