The mine is less than a 2-hour drive to the city of Adana, Türkiye (Population of 2.2 million).

The Port of Mersin is less than 2.5 hours drive from the mine. The port connects the mine to the international zinc market of purchasers.

A new building under construction for the employees at Pinargozu. Approximately 125 miners, engineers, and drilling contractors are working at Pinargozu.

One of the exploration drill rigs used at Pinargozu for above and underground drilling. Since 2014 there have been over 70,000 meters of drilling at Pinargozu and over 644 drill holes.

In 2022, Pasinex plans to complete 10,000 metres of underground and surface diamond core drilling at Pinargozu.

In 2022, Pasinex plans to complete an additional 1,200 meters of Adit development.

Development of the 541 Adit

High-grade sphalerite mineralization at the 541 Adit.

Production in 2022 is projected to include 13,000 – 15,000 tonnes of approximately 50% zinc sulphide product.

Watch the videos below to take a first-person ride on a truck around the mine underground. Pasinex has four adits and recently completed the 4th adit that allows access to the deeper high-grade sulphides at the 541 level.

Our exploration geologists and mining engineers took a photo as we ran to high-grade zinc sulphides while developing our 4th adit at the 541 level, which is now completed.

Our mining engineers took a photo in front of the zinc sulphide material. In Q3 2022 the average grade on zinc sulphide grade sold was 50%.

A close-up look at the zinc sulphide product. Pinargozu forcasts to produced around 13,000-15,000 wet tonnes of zinc in 2022.

The average grade of zinc sulphide product sold at 50% in Q3 2022 resulted in a 64% gross margin.
