Sarytogan Graphite secures Baynazar ELA for copper in Kazakhstan

Proactive - Interviews for investors

Sarytogan Graphite Ltd (ASX: SGA) managing director Sean Gregory sits down with Proactive’s Jonathan Jackson to discuss a new Exploration Licence Application (ELA) for copper porphyry mineralisation named Baynazar, just 20 kilometres west of the flagship Sarytogan Graphite Deposit in Central Kazakhstan. The 282 square kilometre Baynazar ELA is within the Central Asian Orogenic Belt (CAOB), known for hosting large copper-gold porphyry deposits. Historical Soviet work in the Baynazar area identified anomalies in copper, gold, silver, molybdenum, and tungsten. Sarytogan's exploration team is actively soil sampling and a high-resolution aeromagnetic survey will soon start. Gregory stated that this initiative is part of a broader strategy to develop a portfolio of copper projects to support the company's focus on battery metals. Kazakhstan is a significant copper producer with the CAOB region hosting notable deposits such as Bozshakol, Aktogay, Kounrad, Nurkazgan and Koksai. The Baynazar ELA is within a Devonian volcanic belt known for diverse mineralisation types. Historical exploration in the area reported more than 300 mineral occurrences, including gold and copper. The ELA, encompassing the Baynazar Caldera's western contact zone and two southern satellite calderas, shows promising signs of copper-porphyry mineralisation. Sarytogan has formed a new entity, Baynamys LLP, to manage its copper exploration assets. The company has received notification of ELA approval, contingent on environmental insurance payment. The company aims to build a portfolio of copper exploration properties in Kazakhstan, aligning with its battery metals strategy. #ProactiveInvestors #SarytoganGraphite #ASX #CopperExploration #KazakhstanMining #BaynazarProject #BatteryMetals #MineralExploration #CentralAsianOrogenicBelt #GeologicalSurvey #CopperPorphyry #SoilSampling #AeroMagneticSurvey #KazakhstanResources #MiningProjects #GreenEnergyTransition #CopperDemand #MiningIndustry #ExplorationLicence #GeologicalTeam #KazakhstanCopper #MiningNews #invest #investing #investment #investor #stockmarket #stocks #stock #stockmarketnews
