This mineralization site in fresh road-cut near Georgievka village was recently discovered in the course of the ongoing exploration project. It represents a linear NW striking 300 m-thick alteration zone in sandy shales that contains 1–2 m-thick quartz veins with sulfide minerals and visible gold identified in polished thin sections.
