Recently, Pilot Gold has identified the Halilaga copper-gold porphyry deposit and so far, it has encountered mineralization over 1,200 metres strike length, 750 metres breadth and up to 600 metres widths at Halilaga. Also, the property is provided with supergene enrichment zone, which is close up to 40 metres width at 1%-to-2% Cu grades.
Since 2004,the technical group of Pilot Gold had taken a major role in setting the gold endowment and potentiality of the Biga region in northwest Turkey and was contributing to the Halilaga porphyry discovery.
