The site is located in the Northern Near-Balkhash region within the Balkhash-Ili volcanic-plutonic belt, several tens of kilometers northwest of the major copper-porphyry deposit Kounrad. Geologically, the area contains outcrops of advanced argillic rocks, in places showing visible copper mineralization. At present, prospecting basis upgrade, historical data compilation and prospecting and check-up works are undertaken: UAV-based aeromagnetic survey, induced polarization (IP) geophysics, and soil geochemical sampling . The decision to conduct drilling will follow the results.
