About the project

The asset lies on the edge of the Serra do Espinhaço, a province with a long tradition in industrial minerals and gemstones. There are two sets of tenements consolidated in the portfolio, with georeferencing completed, and iron and manganese as the primary substances.

Geological mapping and sampling are under way across both sets. The industrial scope is still to be sized, and that is what completing exploration must deliver before any engineering study.
