Norterra Resources has unveiled its latest exploration asset, A26-KZ-1125, located in Kazakhstan’s Abay Region, which is part of the West-Kalba metallogenic zone known for its gold mineralisation. This asset was identified through an extensive regional screening process that analysed approximately 82,000 km² of historical geological data. The evaluation employed VEDART RS® technology, confirming the area’s prospectivity and revealing three priority mineralised zones within the licence boundary.

Currently classified under Advanced Exploration/Prospect, A26-KZ-1125 holds inferred resources of about 1.5 tonnes of gold in the P2 category and 1.6 tonnes in the P3 category. The focus at this stage is on reducing geological uncertainty and expanding the resource base, with the aim of upgrading the asset to the Indicated category according to international reporting standards.

The preliminary economic model projects a net present value (NPV) of $55.2 million over a ten-year planning horizon, which will be refined as exploration progresses. Norterra Resources emphasises its commitment to early-stage, geologically justified assets that have a clear development pathway and defined next steps.

The company invites professionals in mining investment and mineral exploration to engage with them for further discussions about the project. Detailed project materials are available under non-disclosure agreements (NDAs), and interested parties are encouraged to reach out for more information or to follow Norterra Resources for updates on their portfolio.
