DUSHANBE, September 4, 2014, Asia-Plus — China-based TBEA Dushangbie (Dushanbe) Co., Ltd is carrying out exploration operations at two gold deposits in the Ayni district of Sughd province — Eastern Duoba and Upper Kumarg.
An official source at the Main Geology Directorate under the Government of Tajikistan says the exploration operations are expected to be completed at the end of this year or at the beginning of the next year.
“The company received licenses from the Government of Tajikistan to explore these deposits last year for the period until 2017,” the source said. According to him, one ton of the deposits’ ore contains more than 2 grams of gold.
