Bregu i Bibes Prospect


Chromite ore with PGE enrichment. The Bregu i Bibes ore bodies are located along serpentinite-pyroxenite boundary (cumulate section) varying in thickness from 60 to 100 m. The above rocks have a consistency along the strike and down dip within which are developed ore bodies as layers or lenses, extending in strike up to 200 m and down dip 20 m to 40 m to 150 m, with a thickness from 1 m to 10 m and more. The content of PGM in the above ore bodies varies from 1-7 ppm and in some cases up to 27 ppm. Wall rocks with a thickness up to 20 m contain 0.4 ppm to 1.0 ppm PGM.
