Skouries Project

Skouries Project

Au, Cu
Reserves (Proven + Probable): 3.6moz Au, 736kt Cu

The project is located 35 km by road from the Stratoni port in northern Greece. Skouries is located on a high plateau with no habitation in the immediate  vicinity.

The project is currently at the development stage. Skouries is a typical gold-copper porphyry deposit that forms a near-vertical pipe. The project benefits from a simple metallurgical process route  and will produce clean Cu-Au concentrate via flotation as well as doré from the gravity circuit.
