OUR PROJECTS
Annamite Resources has maintained a continuous presence in Laos since the company’s inception three years ago, where it has continued to leverage its local knowledge, expertise and network. The excellent exploration potential of Laos, commodity price forecasts and availability of capital are now all favorable for Annamite to make a significant discovery.
Annamite’s growing portfolio in 2024 includes three attractive projects:
01
80 sq.km enements hosting copper-gold-molybdenum porphyry systems with gold-copper-silver-zinc peripheral occurrences. Funding was received from Rio Tinto during 2023 for Annamite to carry out the 2023 exploration program. It includes exploration and feasibility licenses valid until mid 2026.
02
148 sq.km prospect contiguous south of Sokdee with similar geology covering the Boundary porphyry and southern continuation of the mineral belt as well as a major placer gold field with undiscovered gold origin. It means potential gold-copper-molybdenum-silver-zinc deposits. Previous exploration there focused on coal, now turning to metals exploration with an exploration license valide until 2026.
03
182 sq.km exploration license (final negotiation with owners) with copper-gold skarn and porphyry-type indications identified from mineral occurrences and satellite gravity.
Today the total area held by Annamite covers 410 sq.km.
