Junior Ursa Major International (URS-T) has completed a due diligence review of its 60%-owned Nirinsk licence, situated 210 km northeast of Karaganda in central Kazakstan.
The 68-sq.-km licence contains the Kenjarik vein-gold deposit, which has a resource estimated at 2.9 million tonnes grading 8.7 grams gold per tonne to a depth of 200 metres.
The due diligence attempted to verify a Soviet-defined gold-in-soil anomaly measuring 3 km long by 1 km wide.
Ursa will begin a trenching program as well as carry out drilling on the Nirinsk licence in July.
The 1997 budget at Nirinsk has been set at a minimum $100,000, with an overall plan to fund US$500,000 worth of exploration over the next five years.
Elsewhere in Kazakstan, Ursa is in the early stages of exploring the Shahtny copper-gold occurrence on the Tekturmas and Kenespai licence areas, south of Karanga.
