About the project
The asset occurs in graphitic metasedimentary rocks of the Araçuaí Orogen, in a setting analogous to that of the mines already operating in the region. The tenements are consolidated in the portfolio, with graphite as the primary substance.
Preliminary geological reconnaissance has been carried out, and mapping and sampling are under way. What remains is to complete exploration and verify the lateral continuity of the bodies, calibrating the result against the Ibicaraí benchmark, which is the most advanced front.
