DUSHANBE, July 8, 2015, Asia-Plus -- China-based TBEA Dushangbie (Dushanbe) Co., Ltd is expected to determine possible gold reserves of the Upper Kumarg deposit, which is located in the Ayni district (Sughd province),  in the coming two years.

“The company plans to complete exploration operations in 2017 and after that it will develop the project for development of this deposit,” Murod Jumazoda, the head of the Main Geology Directorate under the Government of Tajikistan, told reporters in Dushanbe  on July 7.

We will recall that China-based TBEA Dushangbie Co., Ltd was granted licenses for exploration of the Upper Kumarg and Duoba deposits in 2013.

The company received licenses from the Government of Tajikistan to explore these deposits last year for the period until 2017.  One ton of the deposits’ ore reportedly contains more than 2 grams of gold.
