Porphyry copper-molybdenum deposit.

The Teghut Mine is a closed copper and molybdenum open-pit mine in Armenia's northern province of Lori in the village of Teghut with deposits valued at US$15.5 billion (in 2010).
In December 2014, Vallex Group launched production operations at the mine, which is a US$380 million project.
In February 2018 Vallex Group published a statement announcing suspension of all operations and laying off nearly all staff.

The mine was expected to become comparable in size to the Kajaran Mine in southern Armenia.
