Brazilian Borborema Gold Mining Project Begins Site Preparations

---

Researched by Industrial Info Resources (Sugar Land, Texas)--Aura Minerals' (Road Town, British Virgin Islands) Borborema gold mining project in Brazil has started site preparations. With a total investment of US$196 million, the project aims to produce 68,000 ounces of gold per year over a projected lifespan of 11.4 years. The project is located about 30 kilometers from the municipality of Currais Novos in the state of Rio Grande do Norte, in northeastern Brazil.

During the initial phase, priority has been given to local job creation through the implementation of training programs. These programs are designed to equip residents with the necessary skills in the mining industry, thus contributing to the economic enhancement of the region. The project holds the promise of boosting regional economic development.

Additionally, the project envisions the construction of a dry tailings system, a water treatment plant and an aqueduct. The processing plant, which will include a conventional crushing and grinding plant, as well as a carbon-in-leach (CIL) plant, reflects the project's commitment to advanced mining practices.

The construction phase of the project is estimated to extend throughout 2024, with operations expected to commence during the first quarter of 2025.
