Details of the PCA

The PCA has been filed by the Federal Public Prosecutor’s Office (FPPO) against AGR and the State Environmental Protection Agency regarding Environmental Impact Assessment (EIA) for Aguia’s Phosphate Project.

Aguia’s slant on commencing construction at Phosphate Project

Aguia aims to end the litigation and progress with the implementation of its phosphate project. According to the company, a settlement in the case will allow Aguia to begin construction.

Amid the legal battle, the company is actively progressing the preparations for construction. Aguia has hired a Project Manager as well as a sales team with 35 years of experience in agricultural sales and marketing.

Also, Australian mining consultancy firm Harrier has been appointed by Aguia for an advisory role to the project. Harrier will render an independent oversight to the Board. Harrier has strong links to experienced mining personnel in Brazil, highlights the company update.
