Asproyia Project
The Asproyia project lies at the southeast end of the Limni project on the south west flank of the ophiolite complex. In the 1950's Hellenic Mining Company carried out a considerable amount of exploration work on the Asproyia project area, including prospecting pits and trenches. Ancient galleries were excavated and a total of 14 boreholes were drilled. In 1977, Noranda Exploration carried out geological mapping and geophysics. The main efforts were made to investigate the feeder systems in the basal group and also to investigate the ancient workings that had been mined within the feeder system of chalcopyrite -- pyrite veining. One drill hole sited on the upper pillow lavas had 300 feet of a feeder system averageing 0.5% copper, including 26 feet of 2.2% copper.
Northern Lion is actively researching the government records and files to uncover the details of past exploration efforts. Northern Lion is also completing soil grids and mapping over the area in efforts to detail future drill targets.
