The work they have done has been outstanding in every regard. We are also thankful to the many people and organizations that have supported us including the Federation of Industries of Pará State (FIEPA), the Secretariat of Economic Development, Mining and Energy (SEDEME) and the Professional Association of Geologists of the Amazon (APGAM)."

The development of the project, including future commitments detailed through our permitting activities are all aimed at unlocking shareholder value. However, project development goes hand in hand with our voluntary work in the local region, this is all focused on sustainable development that can have a lasting positive impact on the people that we share this beautiful part of Brazil with.
