- Kalabak Copper Gold Project Overview

The Kalabak license is located in the Haskovo Province (Kardzhali District) of southern Bulgaria. Geologically, the project locates in the mineral endowed Tertiary Western Tethyan orogenic belt. The Kalabak license covers highly prospective Tertiary rocks in the underexplored Bulgarian portion of the Western Tethyan Metallogenic Belt.

Limited historical exploration in the area by previous explorers and recent discoveries in the same belt outside of Bulgaria, substantiated that the Kalabak permit is highly prospective for copper porphyry and epithermal gold mineralisation. Recent gold discoveries at Ada Tepe epithermal gold deposit (Dundee Precious Metals) and Rozino epithermal gold deposit (Velocity Minerals), within 10 km of the Kalabak permit and within a similar geological environment, further underline the prospectivity of the project.

About Velocity Minerals

Velocity is a precious metals and copper explorer focused in Eastern Europe. In Bulgaria, Velocity has a 70% interest in the Tintyava property, which includes the prefeasibility-stage Rozino deposit. Velocity also has a 70% interest in the Momchil property (which includes the Obichnik project), a 70% interest in the Nadezhda property (which includes the Makedontsi project), and a 70% interest in the Dangovo property (which is contiguous with the Makedontsi project). The Company holds a 100% interest in the Iglika copper-gold exploration property and recently entered into an option agreement with DPM who have an option to earn a 75% interest in the property. The Company has also entered into agreements to acquire a 75% interest in the Zlatusha and Kalabak copper-gold exploration properties.
