ML-Iron ore (4) (Chigendik):

BME initiated phased-wise exploratory strategy to explore the mineral potential of economic value in the ML area. 639 meters of exploratory drilling was conducted; however, the next phase of geophysical exploration is being planned.

ML-Iron ore (5) (Pachinkoh):

Mining operations are in progress to advance iron ore production from multiple areas in Pachinkoh. In order to further strengthen the Iron ore portfolio, a feasibility study is also be started soon. As a pre-requisite of the feasibility study; 2,000 meters of diamond core drilling were conducted for shallow-bearing iron ore horizons. Currently, another 6,000 meters of drilling is in progress.
