About the project

The asset sits on iron-bearing sequences of the Archean and Proterozoic basement, the same ones that underpin the state historical iron production. The tenements are consolidated in the portfolio and georeferenced.

Regional geological reconnaissance has been carried out, and no drilling campaign has taken place yet. The sequencing priority for the asset is set by its proximity to the Carijós, Barbacena and Alfredo cluster, and by sharing the same logistics infrastructure.
