Saje Lead-Zinc Project Information
The Saje deposit is located within Mundoro’s 100% owned Zvezda exploration licence area. The Saje deposit is a brownfield area that was initially explored starting in the 1960’s and exploited by a government run company from 1984 to 1992 for Lead and Zinc with by products of Copper and Silver. The deposit is situated in the western part of the Spahievo ore field at the eastern border of a rhyolite caldera. It is comprised of structurally controlled alteration zones, some of which are the main ore bearing zones. Zones are hosted in Eocene-Oligocene andesites intruded by monzonite pluton. The width of the ore zones vary from 1 m to 17.8 m. The ore mineralization is represented by galena, sphalerite and chalcopyrite. Table 1 below summarises the underground production from the deposit from 1984 to 1992 by the government run company:
| Period | Ore (kT) | Grade Content | Metals | ||||||||
| Pb (%) | Zn (%) | Cu (%) | Ag (ppm) | Cd (ppm) | Pb (t) | Zn (t) | Cu (t) | Ag (kg) | Cd (kg) | ||
| 1984-1992 | 425.5 | 1.86 | 1.23 | 0.24 | 7.9 | 71 | 7,909 | 5,227 | 1,017 | 3,373 | 30,000 |
