The Group has two gold exploration projects inBrazil, and one silver-zinc-lead project in Peru. The two Brazilian goldprojects, Tangara and Falcao, are located to the south of the highly prospectiveCarajas Mineral Province. Both projects cover an area of approximately 300 sq kmand are centred over greenstone belts, with known gold mineralisation. The scaleof these project areas, the overall aerial extent of the mineralised system andthe high density and magnitude of related gold anomalies (identified in riversediments, surface soils and rocks), indicate the potential for multiple depositdiscoveries. The silver-zinc-lead project is located in the historic miningdistrict of Cerro de Pasco in Central Peru. Sampling and limited historicdrilling on this project has demonstrated the high grade potential of thisproject. The Group has a joint venture with Australian gold producer TroyResources NL's 70% owned local subsidiary Sertao Mineracao Ltda to advance itsGoias Velho gold exploration project in Brazil.
