IP Geophysical survey completed, and second environmental license granted
Key Points:
- The Mutum target is part of the Apiacas Project area and is located 50 km west of Altamira's Cajueiro gold project which hosts 43-101 compliant indicated resources of 5.66Mt @ 1.02 g/t gold for a total of 185,000oz and inferred resources of 12.66Mt @ 1.26 g/t gold for a total of 515,000oz.
- An estimated 1Moz of colluvial gold was historically recovered from the Mutum target, suggestive of the presence of a significant underlying hard-rock deposit.
- In 2019, geological mapping outlined an area of pervasive disseminated-style gold mineralization over at least 4 sq km at Mutum.
- Recent exploration has also identified four high-grade vein structures with channel samples returning values up to 3m @ 10.39 g/t gold.
